1033 Meet Again If Fate Wills
At the mention of returning the pills, Zhou Tianxiang’s expression immediately became not so friendly. He looked at Xue Fanxin angrily and asked coldly, “Who are you? We’re talking, so what right do you have to speak? Little girl, did your parents not teach you to be polite?”
Hearing this, Xue Fanxin was extremely speechless. Zhou Xiaotong frowned and wanted to say something, but his throat was locked by a force. Then, a voice entered his ears right on the heels of that.
“Don’t let anyone know my identity, and don’t tell anyone that you know me.”
When Zhou Xiaotong heard Xue Fanxin’s words, even though his throat had been unlocked, he did not say what he wanted to say just now. Instead, he said, “Second Uncle, she is my friend. She was the one who gave me that bottle of Beast Spirit Pills, so…”
“Since she gave it to you, it’s yours. Your name is Xiaotong, right? Xiaotong! Beast Spirit Pills are incomparably precious medicinal pills. One is difficult to obtain outside, even if you have money, you can’t buy it. Also, the Zhou family really needs these Beast Spirit Pills now, so can you contribute them to the family?” Zhou Tianxiang said a bunch of logic in a dignified manner, but his eyes were filled with greed.
Hearing this, Zhou Xiaotong felt terrible. This was because he did not know what to say and felt guilty towards Xue Fanxin, so he remained silent.
In Xue Fanxin’s opinion, such silence meant agreement.
Since Zhou Xiaotong had decided to hand those pills to the family, she had nothing to say. After all, she had already given those pills to Zhou Xiaotong, who had the right to deal with them.
Xue Fanxin sorted out her emotions and no longer mentioned the pills. She said with a calm expression, “Xiaotong, since you’ve found your family, let’s say goodbye here.”
“Fanjiu, are you leaving? Can you take me with you?” Zhou Xiaotong said without thinking.
However, before Xue Fanxin could respond, Zhou Tianxiang spoke first. “Xiaotong, you’re from the Zhou family. How can you leave with others so casually? In the past, it was fine if you were wandering outside. But now that you’ve been found, come back to the Zhou family with me. The Zhou family will make up for everything we owe you over the years.”
Zhou Xiaotong did not listen to Zhou Tianxiang. He had been waiting for Xue Fanxin’s answer. As long as Xue Fanxin was willing to take him away, he would definitely leave with her, not caring about the Zhou family.
However, he knew that this possibility was too small, because he was too weak.
“Xiaotong, I still have a lot to do. I really don’t have the energy to take you with me. Furthermore, it’s much better for you to return to your family than to follow me, so you should go to the Zhou family.” Xue Fanxin had long decided to part ways with Zhou Xiaotong. Even without Zhou Tianxiang’s appearance, she would still separate from Zhou Xiaotong in the Nether City or another safe place.
Now was the best time to part ways.
Zhou Xiaotong knew Xue Fanxin’s identity and knew the difference between them, so he did not force her. He asked with a hint of hope, “Then can I look for you in the future?”
“Of course. As long as you really treat me as a friend, I’ll really treat you as a friend. Friends don’t necessarily have to follow each other, but they have to help each other when they need it. When you go to the Zhou family, you have to work hard, but you have to be careful. After all…”
There were some things that did not need to be said so clearly. Anyone with a little brain would know.
Zhou Xiaotong had experienced so much recently, so he still had this bit of common sense. He nodded at Xue Fanxin and did not say what it meant. “Then take care. We’ll meet again if we’re fated.”
“We’ll meet again if we’re fated.”
