Chapter 203: That's it, I might as well go home and farm
Yu Da narrowed his eyes, his lips trembling with pain, and said, "No, the little girl in your painting has never been here."
Li Nian was stunned, and silently released a trace of pressure, which made Yu Da, who was already nervous, feel extremely nervous. He held his head uncontrollably and screamed in pain.
"No, there really isn't such a person. I'm not lying to you."
Li Nian withdrew his pressure with a cold look, his heart sinking slightly. Yu Da almost controlled this place. If Yaoyao really came, he would not be unaware of it.
She retracted her foot, swept her eyes over the people here, and finally fell on Yu Da. The girl's cold gaze made Yu Da shudder.
"You'd better remember what you said. If you dare to bully the people here again, think about the consequences."
Yu Da nodded hurriedly, covering his almost broken ribs, and almost knelt down to beg for mercy from Li Nian.
Li Nian turned and left, his eyes sweeping over the people around him, his heart feeling a little complicated. Not all the people here were bad. Most of them were people who had nothing to harvest and could not make a living, and had become beggars.
When he was about to step out of Qingbo Road, the corner of his clothes was gently grabbed. Li Nian looked down and saw that it was a little child. Although his clothes were worn, they were neat.
The little girl looked up timidly, "Sister, can you please save my mother?"
Li Nian blinked, but before he could say anything, the little girl was carried away by a skinny man. He knelt on the ground and apologized in a low voice.
"Please don't blame me, my daughter didn't mean to offend me. I'm sorry."
The man had just seen Li Nian beating up dozens of men by herself and was very afraid of her strength.
Li Nian frowned, moved aside to avoid the man, squatted down, and helped him up, "It's okay, there's no need to do this."
The man was thin, his clothes were tattered, he was hunched over, and his eyes were full of vicissitudes and numbness.
Only the girl in his arms still had bright eyes. She reached out and grabbed the corner of Li Nian's clothes again, "Beautiful sister, please, save my mother."
The man was startled and covered the girl's mouth with his hand, but he couldn't block the girl's helpless and hopeful gaze.
Li Nian sighed and held the girl's hand. "Would you please take me to see your mother first?"
The little girl broke free from the man's arms, took Li Nian's hand, and ran towards a dilapidated hut. Before they even set foot inside, they heard heavy coughing and the strong smell of medicine.
"Mom, I found a beautiful sister to save you." said the woman on the wooden board to the little girl.
The woman breathed heavily, turned her head to glance at Li Nian, her eyes full of vigilance, and held the child's hand tightly.
Li Nian's eyes trembled slightly, and he walked towards the woman step by step, "Don't be nervous, it's your daughter who brought me here."
The woman remained alert, her eyes wide open, until the man came in, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Nian put his hand on her wrist, carefully inserted a trace of spiritual power into it, and after it circulated around, he understood.
She was not a medical practitioner, but with the help of her spiritual power, she could roughly tell that the patient had coughing, coughing up blood, night sweats, and gradually losing weight. This was probably tuberculosis.
With a flick of his wrist, Li Nian poured out two Lingshen pills from the pill bottle, handed one to the woman, and ate the other one himself.
"Take it. After taking this pill, you will be cured in a few days."
The woman looked at the pill in her hand, still hesitant. Then the little girl shook her hand and said in a baby voice:
"Mother, my sister is a good person, please eat quickly."
Her husband beside her also nodded with tears in his eyes. The woman pursed her cracked lips and swallowed the pill. Her body was no longer heavy, and even her fingertips had some strength.
She looked at the girl in surprise, and after a while she struggled to stand up. She wanted to kneel down to thank her, but Li Nian held her up.
"Take good care of it. I'm leaving first."
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Nian turned and left. By the time they reacted, she was gone.
The woman looked at her hands excitedly, and a light suddenly appeared in her numb and desperate eyes. She hugged her child and burst into tears.
"I'm well again? Our family will no longer be burdened by this disease." The woman murmured to herself.
The man's eyes were also filled with tears. His wife's illness had dragged down the family and there was nothing he could do. However, when he was in despair, a master came to help him.
When Li Nian heard the sad cry, he paused slightly, looked up at the exit of Qingbo Road, and walked towards the light step by step.
Lin Keke lay on the table, looking at Li Nian boredly, her voice weak, "Still looking? You must have turned the entire imperial city upside down."
Li Nian thought for a while, then shook his head, his lips curled up slightly, "There's still one place I haven't looked for."
Lin Keke blinked, "Are you talking about the palace?"
Li Nian raised his eyebrows slightly, without commenting, and sat on the windowsill, shaking his legs.
Lin Keke smacked her lips. "Are you serious? I remember that 'noble' little princess is also in the palace now."
Li Nian blinked and now had a guess about Yaoyao's identity. Even if Chu Xu was there, he had to go to the palace.
She tilted her head slightly, glanced at the person in the dark, curled her lips into a smile, jumped off the windowsill, and her blue dress fluttered.
The people in the dark only saw a flash before their eyes, and countless ice blades flew down from the sky, piercing them into a sieve in an instant.
Li Nianxiao sighed, this speed is too slow, he can't even avoid it, he might as well go home and farm.
Lin Keke's pupils trembled, and she swallowed hard, "Still farming? Maybe in the next life."
She felt sympathy for the man from the bottom of her heart. His body was covered with ice blades and it looked very painful.
Li Nian blinked, took out a handful of talismans and handed them to Lin Keke, "Guard your home well, I'll go to the palace tonight."
Lin Keke once again held the talismans in her arms, looked at Li Nian's back, and fell into deep thought.
She seemed to have forgotten to tell her something?
The night is dark and the sky is full of stars.
Kunning Hall.
The hall was as silent as death, except for the white smoke rising quietly from the top cover of the gilded auspicious beast incense burner with curled ears, curling up like a wisp.
"Snapped--"
Xin Shuirong slammed the table, her beautiful eyes looking at her pampered daughter in disbelief, a rare hint of disappointment in her eyes.
Chu Xu fought back her tears, fell to her knees, and begged in a low voice, "Mother, please help me, I really have no other choice."
Xin Shuirong's fingertips trembled slightly, her steps weakened, and after stumbling a few steps, she fell on the jade chair, clutching her chest, her voice filled with sorrow.
"Xu'er, how could you do this? You'll become a target of public criticism. The cultivation world will never let you go once they find out."
Chu Xu knelt on the ground, tears falling like beads from a string, her eyes red, and she shook her head.
"Mother, this is not what I wanted. It was the ancient evil spirit that entered my body. I didn't want it."
She seemed to be trying to grasp something, and a heavy evil flashed in her beautiful eyes. "It's Li Nian, it's her! If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be infected."
