Chapter 1191: Chapter 1191: Zhao Qingtang’s Persistence
Listening to Lin Tian talk about Xu Nanhai, the Great Elder nodded, feeling deeply moved.
Xu Nanhai, whether it’s those fox-like eyes or being forty years old, the memory of the elder’s body is indeed too profound. Even at just a glance, it’s unforgettable for a lifetime.
It’s a pity that those beautiful eyes were exchanged at the cost of burning one’s lifespan.
Xu Dongxu originally had decent aptitude. If he had solely cultivated the Xu Family’s Charm Technique, he would have undoubtedly achieved significant success. He might even have formed a Golden Core by now.
The reason he followed that demonic Daoist Kun Yun to learn Daoist techniques was to heal his sister. It’s just a pity, after Ten Years, no feasible method was found.
Moreover, although that guy seems to be in high spirits, who knows, over the years, maybe there are things even he finds hard to speak of.
"He came to Luoyan Dock this time, stealing from the Library Pavilions of five noble families and the Alliance’s pill recipes, all for Xu Nanhai, that’s beyond doubt. Regardless of whether it will be effective, he will definitely try it. So, he won’t go looking for Kun Yun for the moment."
The Great Elder’s eyes instantly brightened, clapping his hands and laughing: "In that case, he must come back to Luoyan Dock!"
Lin Tian shook his head, "Not necessarily. He is as cunning as his master, and it’s very likely Xu Nanhai has already been moved out of Luoyan Dock, but one thing is certain, wherever Xu Nanhai is, Xu Dongxu will definitely be there!"
"I understand." The Great Elder stood up and said, "I’ll arrange for someone to find him immediately."
Lin Tian’s voice sounded from behind him, "This time, don’t be careless. It’s best if you go with Wu Hong after finding him."
"Understood!"
After promising, the Great Elder walked out of the room with quick and urgent steps, clearly more anxious than Lin Tian after getting a clue.
Last time by the bamboo forest near Xu Family Stream, the Great Elder suffered quite a bit, nearly falling into Xu Dongxu’s hands. This time, he couldn’t afford to be careless.
After the room was completely quiet, Lin Tian slowly lay back on the bed, closed his eyes, and started circulating Spiritual Qi again, nurturing his body.
He still needed to recover quickly.
Before even a small cycle of Spiritual Qi circulation, suddenly there were two knocks on the door.
Whoosh~
After returning the Spiritual Qi to the Sea of Qi, Lin Tian exhaled a long breath. Just as he was about to shout the words ’come in’, the door was already opened by someone.
To Lin Tian’s surprise, it was Zhao Qingtang who entered!
Lin Tian looked at her with a smile, saying: "Why are you here? Didn’t you go back to Kanyue City with the teacher?"
Zhao Qingtang walked from the doorway to the bedside, giving Lin Tian a playful glare, "What? Are you trying to kick me out?"
Lin Tian propped himself up on the bed, wanting to lean against the headboard to chat with her, but Zhao Qingtang hurriedly waved her hand and shouted, "Don’t get up, just lie down like this!"
Hearing her urgent voice, Lin Tian could only smile and give up, lying down was fine too.
"Look at you, what are you saying! How could I possibly want to kick you out? I’m more than happy to welcome you." Lin Tian said with a compensatory smile, pretty girls always have privileges. If it were Wu Yong or Meng Nan standing in front of Lin Tian at this moment, he would have already told them to get lost.
Hearing Lin Tian’s words, Zhao Qingtang’s expression didn’t change, she just snorted lightly: "You made a wise choice. Actually, I didn’t want to stay, but Grandpa is worried about you and doesn’t trust the mediocre doctors here, he said having me stay would put him at ease. You need to get better quickly, otherwise I won’t be able to report back to Grandpa."
This reason was something Zhao Qingtang had already thought of on the way back. Although a bit awkward, saying it without expression added credibility. At least she felt, this fool in front of her had no reason to doubt.
Lin Tian sipped his smile but didn’t expose her. One’s expression can be stiff, but their eyes can’t lie. This girl surely doesn’t lie often, she’s quite inexperienced at it.
Zhao Qingtang opened the small cloth bag fastened to her waist, took out a set of silver needles, and said, "I haven’t done acupuncture today, I can’t skip it."
Lin Tian’s expression instantly became strange, "These days, you’ve been giving me acupuncture?"
Zhao Qingtang nodded nonchalantly, "Grandpa said you’ve become a vegetable, but I think you would wake up soon, that’s why I’ve been doing acupuncture these days, even if you didn’t wake up, it would be good for your body."
Lin Tian’s state of mind became a bit complicated. Zhao Xuefeng and so many medics said he had become a vegetable, it surely wasn’t baseless. Initially, Lin Tian thought it might be his non-mortal constitution that allowed him to recover in a short time even after losing consciousness.
Now it seems, that’s not the case.
When Lin Tian woke up, he felt his meridians and acupuncture points were extremely unblocked, thanks to Zhao Qingtang.
Without her daily acupuncture, if the meridians were still blocked, the time to wake up would likely be much longer. It can be said Zhao Qingtang’s persistence holds significant importance for Lin Tian.
"Thank you." Lin Tian looked at her face, putting on a smile, his voice light and gentle.
Zhao Qingtang stood still for a second, her vision momentarily blank. She felt as if struck by Lin Tian’s gaze, a feeling that moved her heart.
"No need to thank, just don’t forget to treat me to a meal after you recover." Zhao Qingtang strove to keep her tone calm, she didn’t want to lose her composure in front of this guy.
"Hehe, no problem, I can even cook it myself for you." Lin Tian said with a chuckle.
"Hah, boasting again." Zhao Qingtang didn’t believe this guy, though skilled in medicine, could have good culinary skills. She, being an example of good in medicine, bad in cooking, just like her grandpa.
Lin Tian chuckled but didn’t argue further.
"By the way, Grandma often thinks of you too, when do you have time to visit our home?" Zhao Qingtang said.
"Sure." Lin Tian nodded, "Actually, I miss her quite a bit too, especially the food she makes. Just talking about it makes my mouth water."
"Well, if you’re craving it, come by often." Zhao Qingtang said, her heart racing again, worried her little thoughts might be discovered?
She glanced at Lin Tian, seeing him staring at the ceiling, lost in thought, she breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a bit apprehensive.
Zhao Qingtang took the initiative to lift the thin blanket off Lin Tian and said, "Don’t move around, cooperate well, understand?"
Lin Tian smiled wryly: "With so many wounds, I can’t move around even if I wanted to. You do your thing, do whatever, I’ll cooperate fully."
Zhao Qingtang glared at him, complaining, "What do you mean by whatever? Be careful I don’t stick a needle in your vital spot!"
Having said this violently, Zhao Qingtang still felt her cheeks heat up. She is a traditional healer after all! That vital spot is just a human organ, what’s there to blush about!
