Chapter 32 [032] What do you want?

Although the girl was taller than he remembered, her face had hardly changed, so Zhong Li Jin recognized her at a glance.

As always, his face was expressionless, his eyes were as calm as water, and his expression was cold and indifferent.

It seems as if he has a ruthless attitude towards everyone, as if it is none of his business.

Even though he knew that his memory had regressed and that he should have become more open-minded in the past two years, Zhong Li Jin still found it difficult to let go of his disgust for Shi Qing.

What's more, for the young man now, Shi Qing broke off the engagement just a few days ago. He was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted, and his father almost went insane.

In this situation, how could he be polite to the girl he met again, let alone bow to her as a junior brother and call her "senior sister"? It was wishful thinking! He would be lucky if he didn't rush up to fight with her!

Perhaps the sixteen-year-old Zhongli Jin was more mature and open-minded, and no longer disliked Shi Qing. He truly respected her like a senior sister.

But now he is fourteen-year-old Zhongli Jin.

Zhongli Jin, who had just been abandoned and had his engagement broken off!
Zhongli Jin who hates Shi Qing the most!

Cangying coughed lightly and said, "Um... Junior Brother Zhongli."

She smiled awkwardly: "Didn't we clear up the misunderstanding a few days ago? The one to marry should be Junior Sister, not Shi Qing."

Zhong Lijin turned his head away. The boy who only had memories of being fourteen years old had a different personality from that of two years later. He seemed to be more rebellious now, and would clearly express his dislike for people he didn't like. "I know my father recognized the wrong person, but when I just woke up from a serious injury and coma, it was Shi Qing who came to cancel the engagement coldly, it was Shi Qing who made me so angry that I vomited blood and fainted, and it was Shi Qing who my father wanted to chop with his sword. This is an indisputable fact!"

He hated the girl's cold attitude, her arrogance and pride.

"What's more..." Zhongli Jin sneered at Shi Qing: "Since everyone has misunderstood the marriage partner, then Shi Qing herself may have misunderstood as well? Otherwise, if she knew that she was not the marriage partner, why would she rush all the way from Sanqing Mountain to Xuanxiao Sect to cancel the engagement?"

Cangying: “…”

Junior Brother Zhongli at the age of 14 is indeed more childish than he was two years later!!! And this train of thought is irrefutable!!
Shi Qing blinked and said, "Help, Master——"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhong Lijin - "Why are you so miserable? You are covered in blood. I thought Miss Shi Qing was conceited, noble and cold, and a genius who would never get hurt. Now it seems that you have come to Baicao Pavilion to seek medical treatment in this state."

The young man's black pupils fell on Shi Qing. His handsome fair face was stunned when he saw the girl covered in blood. Then he suddenly mocked her, his red lips slightly curled, and even the cinnabar-like spot between his eyebrows turned bright red, making him look a bit seductive on top of his exquisite beauty.

Cangying: “…”

Disciple Xu: “…”

The middle school boy's gunpowder smell is too strong!!!
Shi Qing! Come on! Explain it too! Say something!!
They both set their sights on Shi Qing.

Shi Qing still listened to Cangying's instructions and sat obediently on the bench waiting for her to make the elixir. It was not until Zhongli Jin started talking to her that she listened carefully to what the boy said.

When I asked her why she was in such a mess, I thought she wouldn't get hurt and that she was a top talent.

Top talent = praising her strength.

Shi Qing: “…”

After thinking for two seconds, she looked indifferent and calm as she looked at Zhong Lijin who was not far from the gate and responded, "Thank you, it's a compliment."

Cangying: “…”

Disciple Xu: “…”

Shi Qing——Such a strong insensitivity!!! I didn’t ask you to say this!!!
Zhong Lijin made a blatant mocking call, and thought he could see Shi Qing's expression change, but the girl inexplicably replied to him... Thank you? ? And praise? What did he praise? !
The boy's eyes turned slightly red because of her short four words. They hung at his side and were slowly clenched. There was a hint of anger between his ink-black pupils, and he seemed to want to say something.

But before he could open his mouth, Shi Qing looked back at Cangying and asked calmly, "When will you make the elixir?"

When did you start making the elixir?
Seeing that Shi Qing didn't take Zhong Li Jin's words to heart at all, or rather, she didn't understand the boy's ridicule at all, Cangying had no intention of reminding her. It was also good to be mindless like this. At least she didn't have to think about other people's intentions all day long and could live a simpler and more comfortable life.

Cangying came close to Zhongli Jin and whispered, "Junior Brother Zhongli, Shiqing is injured. I have to make a pill for her all night. You should go back and rest first. Although your body is fine, it is also important to recuperate in the later stage. Don't stay up late. Be obedient."

She chattered on and on like she was coaxing a child, hoping that the boy would go back and rest. After Cangying finished speaking, Zhongli Jin's fists slowly loosened, as if he had suppressed some of his youthful impulses.

As expected, Cangying still likes the sixteen-year-old Zhongli Jin, who is mature, steady, gentle and elegant, less rebellious and childish, and more tolerant and calm like the sea. He is polite to others, graceful, knows how to advance and retreat properly, and has a broad mind.

More importantly, the smile on the boy’s face is like the warm sun in winter and the stream water in summer, always making people feel just right.

The fourteen-year-old Junior Brother Zhongli is childish and cute, and needs to be coaxed a little. Although his face has not changed, he is still as handsome and beautiful, and even because of the cinnabar-like red mole that suddenly appeared between his eyebrows, he looks more charming and seductive. But his personality makes Cangying only treat him as a younger brother, and there is really no romantic thought about him.

*
Zhongli Jin hated Shi Qing, but he had a good impression of Cangying. After three days of getting along, he learned alchemy in Baicao Pavilion. Senior Sister Cangying's teaching was very patient, hand-in-hand, and detailed, so he could learn a lot from her. Therefore, seeing that Cangying was frowning just now, he wanted to try if he could help a little.

He did not leave immediately, but asked the girl: "Senior Sister Guan Cang and Senior Brother Xu looked worried before. Did they encounter any troubles? Can you tell me clearly? I also want to help you solve your problems."

Calling Cangying and Xu "disciple" is like being polite senior brothers and sisters, while calling Shiqing by his full name. This naked distinction between love and hate really makes people feel both cute and helpless.

Cangying said, "It's not a big problem. I just need to refine the Qisheng Pill, and I'm missing a medicinal ingredient. Junior brother, you probably don't remember it, but you asked me about it before. It's called Condensation Grass. Currently, it's only found on the Giant Python Peak in the entire Sanqing Mountain, but it's a forbidden area. No one is allowed to set foot there before Elder Yuxu comes out of retreat, so it can't be picked."

"So it's the Condensation Grass." Zhongli Jin took one out from his sleeve, "Junior brother happens to have it here."

Cangying: "??? How could Junior Brother have that?!"

Zhong Lijin shook his head: "I don't remember."

Anyway, there are still a lot of medicinal herbs and refined pills in the sleeve.

Cangying: “…”

That's right, Junior Brother Zhongli's memory has regressed, so it's normal that he doesn't remember...

--but!!!!

Junior Brother Zhongli has not left the mountain during this period, and the medicine store has also clearly stated that there is no condensed grass.

Now the boy can just take one out.

It can only be said that Junior Brother Zhongli must have been to the Giant Python Peak!
She and disciple Xu next to her exchanged glances, both of them were shocked! They tacitly planned to keep this a secret!

"Thank you, Junior Brother, but don't mention this to anyone in the future." Cangying warned.

"Why?"

Cangying looked at him seriously: "Do you believe Senior Sister?!"

The young man had a hint of doubt on his face, but the girl looked sincere and didn't ask any more questions: "Junior brother, you believe it."

"That's good! Junior brother, go back and have a rest. I'll leave the rest to you, senior sister!" After saying that, Cangying sent the guest away, fearing that Zhongli Jin would have another conflict with Shi Qing... Although that girl was quite insensitive and the two of them might not necessarily quarrel.

"boom."

The door closed gently and the boy stood outside.

There was a light breeze on the top of the mountain, bringing a slight chill.

Zhongli Jin knew why Senior Sister Cangying was so eager to let him leave. She was probably afraid that he would target Shi Qing again.

The boy hated Shi Qing. He was happy to see her get hurt, but he didn't want to see Senior Sister Cang worrying about her, so he took out the condensing grass.

Zhongli Jin was about to turn around and leave when the door behind him suddenly opened again.

He was slightly stunned, thinking that Senior Sister Cangying had something to say again, so he turned around politely and was about to smile at the girl, but he found that it was Shi Qing who opened the door.

"..."

The smile on those red lips suddenly turned sarcastic, and he sneered, "What's wrong? Do you have anything else to say? I don't have anything to say to you."

Shi Qing: “…”

She walked up to the boy and suddenly stretched out her hand, as if asking for something. Zhongli Jin looked at her cold and indifferent expression and was angered again. He stepped forward to face Shi Qing and sneered: "If you want the Condensation Grass, I have already given it to Senior Sister Cang. What else do you want?"

Shi Qing thought he had forgotten and reminded him, "Bai Jie Wan."

She wants Baijie Pills.

When Zhongli Jin was tidying up his sleeves, he did see the small porcelain bottle with the words "Baijie Pills" written on it, but the young man now would never give it to Shi Qing.

"You want it?" He raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Yeah." Shi Qing nodded obediently.

"You wish." Zhong Lijin narrowed his eyes, the cinnabar on his eyebrows became more colorful and seductive, and the words that came out of his red lips were a bit nasty, "I won't give it to you."

After saying this, he turned and left.

Shi Qing: “…”

——He changed his mind.

"We agreed on that." She reminded again.

"Did you agree on that?" Zhong Lijin stopped and looked back at her one last time. His eyes were cold and mocking, and his black pupils were as deep as a cold pond. He said with a smile, word by word, "How ridiculous, Shi Qing. Are you worthy? You can come to cancel the engagement that you agreed on, so why should I really give you the Baijie Pills that you agreed on?"

Even though everyone had made a mistake in the marriage partner before, it was always Shi Qing who came to cancel the engagement in the end.

——If she had no misunderstanding, why bother?
*
Shi Qing stood where he was.

After a while, Cangying saw that she hadn't come in yet, so she came up to her and asked, "Why are you still standing here? What did you say to Junior Brother Zhongli just now?"

"Nothing." Shi Qing responded calmly.

But there seemed to be a hint of grievance and sadness in that voice, and even the bandages around his body drooped.

"It's just that, suddenly, I understood——"

She shook her head slightly, as if she had seen through something, and said softly:

"Man, mouth."

"You're lying, damn it."

Cangying: “???”

*
The sky turned white.

After working all night with disciple Xu, Cangying finally put away the heavenly fire and took a break.

"worn out……"

The dark circles under her eyes were severe, she hadn't slept all night, and she almost died in the next second.

"I'm really impressed... How do you manage to be so energetic after not sleeping for several days and nights?" Cangying's voice was a little hoarse. She mustered up all her strength to prepare the refined pills into medicine bags, which she divided into several small porcelain bottles and handed over to Shi Qing.

"Take the Qisheng Pill, Fugu Pill, and Nei Tiao Juice once in the morning, noon, and evening for five consecutive days. Stay in the Sanqing Blessed Land for these five days and don't go anywhere!" Cangying warned, "You are not allowed to use spiritual power or meditate! You need medicine to regulate your breathing now. After you finish taking these pills, you can activate spiritual power to regulate your breathing. Do you understand?"

Shiqing nodded.

At least in front of Cangying, I have to pretend to be following the doctor's orders.

As if he had seen through her little thoughts, Cangying grabbed her face and pulled it apart, gritting his teeth and saying, "Pay attention to me, bastard! Your spirit is already weak, do you still want to drain it completely?! Be careful that you will become so weak that it will be difficult for you to even absorb spiritual energy!"

This is a serious statement, but it is most effective to scare Shi Qing.

Someone who had just been perfunctory suddenly sat up straight and said seriously, "Okay."

"I asked Junior Brother Xu to prepare a medicinal bath for you on the fourth floor. You can go upstairs and soak in it for an hour, wash off the blood and change your clothes." Cangying pointed upstairs.

Shi Qing nodded and said, "Yes."

She stood up and walked out of Baicao Pavilion, standing on the stone lifting platform. The platform slowly rose and took her to the fourth floor.

The scent of the medicinal bath filled the air. When Shi Qing entered, Disciple Xu was testing the water temperature. When he saw her come in, he immediately said respectfully, "Senior Sister, please."

The man placed clean clothes next to the medicinal bath and turned to walk out.

Shi Qing took off her clothes, and the emerald short dress on the outside fell to the ground. Shi Qing was not naked inside. Her body was wrapped in bandages, leaving only the skin from the base of her thighs to her knees exposed.

After entering the medicinal bath, the bandages around the body seemed to return to the most comfortable place and began to swim in the bathtub like water snakes.

Shi Qing leaned against the edge, closed his eyes, and used the potion to nourish his body and repair his wounds.

Cangying and the others always thought that Shi Qing was wrapped in bandages because he was injured too many times.

actually not.

The girl raised one hand, revealing her flesh-colored fingertips. The bandage fell down, and when it fell to her wrist, a strange black spell was faintly visible.

This is the secret of empty thoughts.

Spells are spread all over the body, bandages are used as seals, blood and flesh are intertwined, and spirits and weapons coexist.

The water temperature was just right. Shi Qing hadn't slept for a long time and was feeling a little sleepy.

She slowly closed her eyes, feeling the spiritual energy in the medicinal bath penetrate the bandages and skin and slowly enter her body, nourishing her almost dried up spiritual roots and re-irrigating them.

This feeling is very comfortable and I fell sleepy without realizing it.

Until a sudden sound of a door being pushed open was heard in this quiet space.

"Squeak-"

Shi Qing suddenly opened his eyes!

The jubilant bandages in the water seemed to wake up at that moment, and immediately turned into sharp blades and rushed towards the person at the door!
The man seemed to be surprised by the scene before him and forgot to dodge for a moment.

It was only after Shi Qing saw the face of the person coming through the eyes of the bandage that he stopped the impact of the bandage right before taking his head!

"..."

"..."

The air was thick with mist.

There was silence in the air.

The girl in the bath and the boy in front of the gate looked at each other.

Shi Qing frowned slightly, looked at the young man at the door, and asked in a cold voice - "What's the matter, Zhongli Jin?"

　Here I come!!! Good night everyone! ~~~ Still in PK!! This article needs the support of babies!!! Love you cute! ~~~
