4371 It was fate.
“Xiao de, quickly come and kowtow to our benefactor. If not for our benefactor’s miraculous hands, who knows how long your illness would have dragged on.” After a while, the shopkeeper finally calmed down a little and pulled his grandson to kowtow to Ling Chuxi.
“Shopkeeper Lin, there’s no need to be like this. Xiaode has just recovered from a serious illness and his body is weak. Just let him lie down. You should first wipe him down, and remember not to throw away the water that he has used. Then, make some porridge for him.” Ling Chuxi quickly reached out to stop the shopkeeper.
“Yes, yes, I’ll go boil some water and make some porridge.” Seeing how easily Ling Chuxi had cured his grandson’s illness, the shopkeeper simply respected her as if she were a God. He did not dare to underestimate her anymore and quickly went to the kitchen after he finished speaking.
Although Xiao de had regained his consciousness, he was still extremely weak. Ling Chuxi was afraid that he would hurt his meridians and did not give him any spiritual pills so easily. She and Huangfu qingjue retreated to the door.
After a while, the shopkeeper finished boiling hot water and helped Xiao de take a bath. He followed Ling Chuxi’s instructions and soaked the spiritual pill in water before throwing it away. He then boiled some porridge for Xiao de to eat. When he was more energetic, he helped him out and kowtowed to thank Ling Chuxi for her kindness.
Ling Chuxi declined, but seeing the shopkeeper’s insistence, she accepted it. Xiao de’s so-called serious illness, if not for her, would probably not have been cured in this lifetime, unless they could meet an alchemy master like alchemy Saint Gu. However, with alchemy Saint Gu’s status, he probably would not come to a small city like apricot Sun City. This was really fate.
“Xiaode, do you still remember how you fell sick?” The reason why Ling Chuxi was not in a hurry to leave was because she wanted to ask about this matter.
“I don’t know either. I was still young at that time. I only remember hearing from my grandfather that the mountain tea passed down in the Lin family was picked from misty cloud Peak, so I wanted to try and pick some back. When I reached the foot of the mountain, I saw a village. There was no one in the village, and it was so gloomy and scary. I rested for a while and felt scared, so I came back immediately. Once I got home, I fell sick.” Xiaode replied.
“You … You went to misty cloud Peak and … And Haojia village?” The shopkeeper was so scared that his face turned pale. If not for the fact that xiaode had just recovered from a serious illness, he might have already slapped him across the face.
“What Haojia village?” Xiaode was still young and had never heard of the Haojia village, so he asked in confusion.
“Xiaode, you must not mention this matter to anyone, not even to grandfather. Just act as if nothing has happened.” The shopkeeper said to xiaode in both worry and fear.
In the eyes of Ling Chuxi and Huangfu qingjue, the city Lord of apricot Sun City was nothing much. However, to common people like them, he was an existence that they could only look up to. If people knew that Xiao de had once violated the ban and went to misty cloud Peak, the grandfather and grandson pair would probably no longer have the chance to live.
“Grandpa, I understand. I won’t let anyone else know about this.” Xiaode was already fifteen when he fell ill, so he did not understand everything.
“Alright, we’ll take our leave first. Keep these spirit pills and come back to take them when you’re fully recovered. They’re good for nourishing your vital energy.” Ling Chuxi had already asked all the questions she needed to ask so she stood up to take her leave. Before she left, she left some spiritual pills that could nourish one’s vitality and Qi for Xiao de. However, she was afraid that others would covet it and turn a good thing into a bad thing, so she didn’t dare to keep any special panaceas. They were all beginner panaceas refined in the ethereal sect residence a long time ago. Their grades were not high, and she couldn’t use them now, so she could use them to do a favor.
