In the bamboo forest outside the sword pavilion, there are many open spaces for sword practice. Wang Sun and Xi Qiangwei are here now.
When Luo Guan arrived, Xi Qiangwei was giving instructions. He was now using his sword to exert force. One of them explained very carefully, and the other listened very seriously.
But Luo Guan always felt that he could smell something arousing to him from this scene.
"Junior Brother Luo!"
Wang Sun's face showed joy, but then he felt a little unnatural, "...Why are you here? No! No... Brother, I just want to say... uh... Long time no see, I really miss you."
People who can't tell lies don't know where to look and their ears are red.
Luo Guan was thoughtful and glanced at Xi Qiangwei. The coldness in his eyes made her tremble and her face turned pale. "I have something to tell my senior brother." He turned around and said calmly, "Senior Sister Xi, if nothing happens, you can leave.
Already."
Xi Qiangwei bit her lip, her face gloomy.
"Wait!" Wang Sun called her, turned around and said, "Junior Brother Luo, Junior Sister Xi has come to see you for something. She has helped me a lot. See if you can..."
Pleading face.
Luo Guan waved his hand, "Then please invite Senior Sister Xi to wait for a while."
"Thank you, Junior Brother Luo!"
"You should thank Senior Brother Wangsun."
Xi Qiangwei glanced at Wang Sun, nodded and left.
As soon as she left, Luo Guan stepped forward and put his arms around Wang Sun's shoulders and said with a smile, "What? Our senior brother Wang Sun is in love?"
Wang Sun's face was red and he stammered, "Junior Brother Luo... don't talk nonsense... Junior Sister Xi is so charming, how could she fall in love with me..."
"Junior brother, thank you for giving me face just now."
Luo Guan smiled, "Senior Brother Wang and Sun, my face is a must here."
In his mind, he sighed.
Wang Sun looks like he has sunk.
However, there is one thing to say, this woman Xi Qiangwei does have capital.
He took out the jade bottle and said, "There is a transformation pill inside, which can repair the injury of senior brother's broken arm and make it recover as before. There are ten pills in total, one pill a day. Remember to eat it."
Wang Sun's eyes widened, although he had already expected it when he received the spiritual stone from Luo Guan before.
But at this moment, I still felt my heart pounding, and my eye circles suddenly turned red.
"Junior Brother Luo...I..." He choked, not knowing what to say.
Luo Guan smiled, "Just as you, senior brother, didn't blame me at first, don't say anything now." He patted his shoulder and took a step back, "Okay, senior sister Xi is still waiting for me. Senior brother, please don't cry.
It would be embarrassing if others saw it."
Wang Sun quickly wiped his eyes and looked in the direction Xi Qiangwei left. Then he heard laughter, "That's it, senior brother, are you still denying it? If you like it, you like it. What's the shame?"
Luo Guan joked, turned around and left.
Looking at his back, Wang Sun looked guilty, "Junior brother... I know that Junior Sister Xi approached me because she wanted to have an encounter with you... Senior brother, I'm sorry for you..."
he Now, I feel full of guilt.
But there are 80,000 words in the world, but "love" is the most difficult to understand. It takes a moment like the wind when it comes, but by the time you notice it, it has already touched your face, entered your eyes, and melted into your heart.
In the bamboo forest, Xi Qiangwei turned around when she heard footsteps approaching. Before she could speak, Luo Guan sneered, "I ask, you answer."
"If even half of a sentence is false, I will never spare you!"
Xi Qiangwei looked nervous, took a deep breath and nodded.
"First, do you like Wang Sun?"
This is an important point.
If Xi Qiangwei deliberately lured Wang Sun into falling in love and got closer to him, such a scheme would never be tolerated.
Even if Wangsun will suffer for a period of time, Luo Guan will ruthlessly beat her to dust.
Xi Qiangwei looked struggling, "...yes." With one word, she seemed to have been relieved of a heavy burden, and her whole body showed relief from the inside out.
"Luo Guan, my previous move was to use myself as a bargaining chip in exchange for your help... I admit that when I first approached Wang Sun, I also had the purpose of contacting you through him, but the development of things was different from what I imagined...
I thought about leaving, but Wangsun was still waiting for me in the bamboo forest, and it was raining heavily..."
"On the second and third days after that, the rain didn't stop, and he came every day... I couldn't help it, so I came out to see him... From that day on, I knew that I had no choice but to continue trading with you." Xi.
Qiangwei took a deep breath, "Today, I just want to tell you that I will not pester you again in the future."
Her eyes were red and tears flowed silently.
Over the years, she has been so tired and exhausted. Everyone told her not to make any more useless attempts.
impossible!
She didn't believe it and didn't give up. She convinced her family and Master Yun before she entered Tianshu Pavilion and had the opportunity to meet the alchemist.
Then, she met Yuan Xi's guest, who was a truly good person, and it was because of him that she truly entered the world of alchemists.
But...it's so difficult!
She has worked very, very hard, and has memorized all the theoretical knowledge, but she has been unable to refine even the simplest pill after trying again and again. When all your efforts are in vain, that deep feeling
Despair is enough to break one's will.
Others only know that Xi Qiangwei in red is so talented that she only spends half of her time practicing swordsmanship before she can become a disciple of Master Yun... But they don't know that in order to do this, she has slept only two hours a day since she was sixteen.
.
She is really tired.
The breeze in the bamboo forest rustled.
The girl in red cried silently, but the boy in black just looked at her without any intention of comforting her.
Not indifference, nor questioning.
But Luo Guan knew that it would be better for her to cry at this time.
After a long time, Xi Qiangwei wiped her eyes and said, "Thank you.
Junior Brother Luo, I'm much better now, what else do you want to ask?"
Her eye circles were red and swollen, but her expression became calm, and her eyebrows naturally showed a trace of alienation and arrogance.
This is what she really looks like.
Luo Guandao, "What do you want me to help you with?"
Xi Qiangwei was silent for a moment, "...when I was twelve years old, I clamored to go out of the city for an outing. My mother was so entangled that she had no choice but to agree. However, we were assassinated shortly after we left the city. In order to protect me, my mother was seriously injured and fell into a coma.
She has not been able to wake up yet... Recently, her condition has become even worse. Dad invited the best doctors in the imperial capital... but it was of no use..."
She lowered her head, with a sad face, "To save her, only the sixth-grade Tianbu Dan can do it, but the strongest alchemist in Qingyang Kingdom, the national master of Jiaoyang Temple, is only a fifth-grade...
Moreover, even if the Heaven-Building Pill really appears, this kind of miraculous elixir that is rare for practitioners, how can it save an ordinary woman who has been comatose for many years..."
Therefore, she tried her best to become an alchemist.
So, when her mother was in critical condition, she approached Luo Guan.
Hasty and direct, without regard for dignity.
Heaven-Building Pill?
Luo Guan's eyes flashed slightly and he said, "Senior Sister Xi, have you really given up and asked me for help?"
Xi Qiangwei nodded, "Actually, before you came just now, I was still thinking about how I should ask you to save my mother."
"But when you asked the first question, I knew that I could only give the answer in my heart... I think my mother will forgive me."
Luo Guan thought for a moment, then turned and left, "I have time today. If it's convenient for me, Senior Sister Xi, please take me to have a look."
Xi Qiangwei was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened with disbelief on her face.
"Don't look like that. I just went to take a look. I didn't promise anything."
Xi Qiangwei quickly said, "I know, I know! Junior Brother Luo...thank you..."
The carriage drove into Xi's house and went all the way to the back house.
Seeing the eldest lady coming back, the maid hurriedly greeted her, but the one who got out of the carriage first was a handsome young man.
Just one glance made several girls living in the inner courtyard blush immediately.
But his eyes kept peeking.
A favored maid asked boldly, "Miss, is this your guest? She's so good-looking!"
Xi Qiangwei was startled and hurriedly chased her away, "Go, go, don't cause trouble here!" She turned around with a look of uneasiness on her face, "Junior Brother Luo, the girls in my family have been spoiled by me. Please don't take offense, no matter how big or small."
"It's okay, I think what the young lady said is quite good." Luo Guan smiled at them and winked, "I'm here today, but I have business to do. What should I do if you look at me like this and feel shy?
"
These words caused a burst of laughter.
Xi Qiangwei stared, never expecting that Luo Guan actually had this side in private. He drove away a group of people. , the reluctant maid, she took Luo Guan to the yard where her mother was resting.
Luo Guan looked at the thin and pale woman on the bed, thought for a moment and sat by the bed, putting his fingers on her wrist.
Soon, Xuangui's voice sounded, "He was indeed seriously injured, causing him to become unconscious. Judging from the current situation, he should have been in a coma for seven or eight years."
After confirming this, Luo Guancai was completely relieved, stood up and said, "Senior Sister Xi, I have something else to do, so I will leave today."
"Ah...ok, I'll take you out."
At this moment, a middle-aged man walked into the courtyard with sharp eyes, "Qiangwei, is this your friend?" This man was in his forties or fifties, with gray hair on his temples, but he still couldn't hide his heroic spirit when he spoke.
In the meantime, his eyes fell majestically on Luo Guan.
"Dad, why are you back?" Xi Qiangwei saluted, turned around and said, "Let me introduce to you, this is..."
Luo Guan interrupted her and said, "Uncle Xi, I am also a student of the Imperial Martial Arts. I have learned some medical skills from my teacher. I heard that Senior Sister Xi mentioned my aunt, so I came here to visit today."
"I'm interested." Father Xi nodded. He felt that the person in front of him looked familiar, but he was worried about his wife and had no time to think about it. "Qiangwei, send your classmate off."
He stepped into the room.
The two of them went outside. Luo Guan said, "My uncle has a strong aura. Is he a member of the officialdom?"
Xi Qiangwei nodded and did not hide anything, "The Xi family is somewhat related to the royal family. My father now serves in the palace."
"No wonder." Luo Guan nodded, "Okay, Senior Sister Xi will send it here."
After a brief pause, he continued, "Senior Brother Wangsun should still be in the bamboo forest in the next few days, so if Senior Sister Xi is not busy, don't forget to keep the appointment."
Xi Qiangwei blushed and said, "Okay."
Luo Guan smiled and strode away.
"Boy, the Tian Mending Pill is very valuable. Do you really want to give one to her?" Xuan Gui's voice sounded.
Luo Guandao said, "Parents love their children to the point of risking their own lives, and children will do their best to save their parents... In this matter, I don't want her to fail." He pondered for a moment, "Probably, because of this,
Only then can she get closer to Senior Brother Wang Sun."
Regarding Wang Sun, she had gossiped a bit when chatting with Cheng Xian... No wonder, becoming a sword cultivator was his obsession.
A sword cultivator must be an alchemist.
But a person who has no sword cultivation qualifications has to do sword cultivation.
It's also consistent.
"Boy, have you ever thought about how big the world is and how much suffering can happen all the time? How much can you control? As a teacher, I am not against this, but I just want to remind you that you should put yourself first in everything, and never give up the basics."
Luo Guan nodded, "Thank you very much, teacher, for the tip. Disciple, please keep it in mind!"
He is very sober and has never regarded himself as a savior. He just wants to make the people around him better within his ability.
This is true for the Luo family, and it is also true for Wang and Sun.
