Chapter 260 . Refreshing Elixir
The image slowly moved away from the fire with Zhuang Xian and Li Qin at the center. When it showed another pretty and delicate girl not far from Zhuang Xian, the smile on Li Zhen’s face faded a little.
Naturally, he could tell that this person was Ye Xin, one of Zhuang Xian’s enemies!
In the past, Li Zhen had heard from Zhuang Xian about the hostility and conflict between her and Ye Xin. Even though the child had never explained to him precisely the enmity, Li Zhen knew that with Zhuang Xian’s gloomy and intelligent personality, she would never do something so useless!
This Ye Xin must have done many bad things to Zhuang Xian. That’s why Zhuang Xian was so eager to get her revenge!
Li Zhen let out an unnoticeable sigh. He knew that what he could do was very limited, but he still wanted to protect his little disciple and good granddaughter.
As for the things that Zhuang Xian didn’t want him to know, he would let her be for now. Even though this child was young, her mental maturity and shrewdness were things ordinary people couldn’t compare to even in eight lifetimes.
Zhuang Xian and Li Qin naturally did not know that Li Zhen had come to Blue Eagle Mountain to see them. Zhuang Xian looked at the unmanned planes flying across the sky and frowned slightly. She thought she should avoid these things when she did something in the future.
Li Qin looked at the pale and fragile An Ye with a puzzled expression for a long time. He scratched his head and looked at Zhuang Xian, asking softly, “Sister Xian, did you not see that An Ye’s injuries were severe, or is An Ye’s acting already so superb? Why does she look like she’s about to die?”
When Zhuang Xian heard Li Qin’s question, she replied without turning her head, “Her injuries are nothing, and that pained expression was not an act!”
Zhuang Xian’s words made Li Qin even more confused. However, before Li Qin could ask, Zhuang Xian directly stated the reason behind it. She said calmly, “I gave An Ye my self-made spirit awakening powder. Simply put, it’s a sensory stimulant that can amplify a human’s pain by tens or even a hundred times! This kind of thing doesn’t harm the human body but can make people suffer. Relying on some simple modern medical equipment, you won’t be able to find anything!”
Li Qin was stunned by his sister Xian’s words. His mouth was slightly agape, and after a long time, he asked, “Sister Xian, you made this yourself? My God, how did you do it?”
As Li Qin spoke, he seemed to have thought of something and asked with uncertainty, “Does this elixir-making skill have something to do with the time you disappeared? Where did you go? Why didn’t you tell Grandpa and me? I was worried about you for a long time!”
When Zhuang Xian heard this, she turned around and looked at Li Qin. She reached out and touched his head, then explained with a faint smile, “It’s very complicated. I’ll explain it to you and Grandpa when I have the chance. For now, you have to keep it a secret for me! An Ye has been poisoned by the mind-refreshing powder and will have a hard time later. You must remember not to expose yourself.”
Li Qin looked at his sister Xian’s gentle expression and subconsciously nodded, indicating his agreement! Every time Zhuang Xian displayed this kind of big sister-like gentleness and patience to him, Li Qin wished that he could give her all the good things in the world for her to choose from.
This was because he always felt that behind Zhuang Xian’s gentleness and maturity, there seemed to be a lot of faint sadness hidden all the time. She was like a rag doll whose body and heart had been torn apart alive and then sewn back together piece by piece. She was mentally serious and exhausted.
Although this feeling came without evidence, it still made Li Qin’s heart ache. Li Qin could feel that Zhuang Xian’s soul had a heaviness and shattering far exceeding her age!
Zhuang Xian noticed that Li Qin was looking at her in a daze. She turned around to look at him and asked softly, “Why are you looking at me like that? What are you thinking about? You look so dizzy!”
Li Qin returned to his senses, and the cheeky smile returned to his face. He leaned closer to Zhuang Xian and gestured for her to look at the left side of their seat. He would look at Lin Feng and Zhang Yang from time to time. He continued the previous topic without fear of death, “Although Zhang Yang is a little silly, he has a good personality. He is loyal and brave. I think he is not bad! However, Lin Feng is still my first choice. Sister Xian, I support you!”
Zhuang Xian’s eyes turned slightly cold as she looked at Li Qin, slowly revealing a hint of danger. She said coldly, “You’re not done, are you? Do you still want to get beaten up?”
