C44 Too weak
It had already been a while since they returned to the capital's Shui?s Mansion. On that day, Shui Qinan and the Shui family's people arrived at the Shui?s Mansion at the same time. When Shui Hongfu went to look for An Lingmin, he realized that Shui Qiyu and An Lingmin were not in the carriage.
Originally, An Lingmin and him would sit in the same carriage, but King Xia suggested that they should return to the capital together. The King Xia was especially favored by the Emperor, so he did not return to the capital with the other princes. The Emperor also tacitly acknowledged his actions.
Shui Hongfu brought Shui Xiner and Hou Qingyu in a carriage, searching for opportunities to talk to Hou Qingyu. Although Shui Qiyu was already a would-be princess, didn't he still have Shui Xiner on his Shui?s Mansion?
The reason King Xia chose to return with them to the capital, wasn't it because he had set his eyes on his daughter, Shui?s Mansion. Shui Hongfu's calculations were perfect, whenhe reached the Shui?s Mansion, she was extremely happy.
However, Shui Hongfu wholeheartedly wanted to reach out to the King Xia, so he directly went to discuss things regarding the King Xia with Shui Xiner.
By the time An Lingmin and Shui Qiyu returned to the Shui?s Mansion, it was already the middle of the night, and the two of them were in a very sorry state. However, the two of them did not mention what had happened and just went back to the courtyard to throw a tantrum.
On this day, Chu Tianyan brought someone to see Shui Qinan.
"Boss, look. I've brought you an interesting person." Chu Tianyan said excitedly, as if he could not see Shui Qinan's frown from the fact that she was her boss.
"This is my childhood." Ever since the Family Competition, he started to address Shui Qinan as boss, but Shui Qinan had always rejected being called that, but Chu Tianyan didn't seem to understand what she meant.
"Oh?" Shui Qinan raised her head and looked at the person Chu Tianyan had brought with him.
Shui Qinan thought: She is a pretty and delicate person, but after seeing such a stunning person like Yin Huaqing, the others were all gloomy. Wait, how did I get to him?
Shui Qinan refused to think about Yin Huaqing and her face also started to look bad.
"Boss, Boss, what's wrong?" Chu Tianyan scratched his head and asked.
"How long has he been ill?" Shui Qinan woke up from her thoughts and asked. Chu Tianyan looked at Shui Qinan in shock.
Chu Tianyan began to proudly show off to his good friend: "How about it, I say my boss is very powerful right? You don't believe me? She didn't even need to check his pulse to know that you are sick.
"Yes, yes, yes." Chu Tianyan's good friend laughed helplessly. There was some respect in his eyes as he looked at Shui Qinan and said: "I am Lin Xuanyi."
"Nice name." Shui Qinan praised, she was just like her name.
"Thank you for your praise, Miss." Lin Xuanyi said with a smile. Shui Qinan sized up Lin Xuanyi. He and Hou Qingyu were a little similar, they were both people who were warm like jade.
However, King Xia Hou Qingyu was very enthusiastic about it, and Lin Xuanyi was just a form of etiquette. For example, his smile, although gentle, was also very distant.
"Boss, since you can see that he's sick ?"
"Why do I feel like you're scolding me?" Lin Xuanyi interrupted Chu Tianyan, who looked at Lin Xuanyi innocently: "I don't have any, you're sick to begin with."
"..." "Sure, go ahead." Lin Xuanyi was silent.
"Boss, do you have a way?" Chu Tianyan asked, since Shui Qinan was so powerful, did he also have a way to treat him? Lin Xuanyi had been depressed for many years because of this disease.
"How long have you been ill?" Shui Qinan asked again.
"Five years." Lin Xuanyi replied honestly. Just as sshe spoke, he saw Shui Qinan's expression change, and Shui Qinan curled her lips: "Who treated the patient? Even five years wouldn't be enough."
"You mean I can still be saved?" Lin Xuanyi suddenly became excited. Five years ago, he was the eldest son of the Lin Family that everyone thought highly of, the next Patriarch of the Lin Family.
However, because of a sudden illness, all of his glory had been taken away. His spirit energy had disappeared, and his body was getting worse by the day.
"You've dragged this on too long. If you want to heal her, it'll take a bit longer." Shui Qinan said coldly.
"How long?" Lin Xuanyi asked. He had already given up, there was still hope. As long as she could get better, it didn't matter if she waited another five years. Shui Qinan extended three fingers, and Lin Xuanyi let out a breath of relief: "Three years?"
"Three months." Three years? That would really ruin her reputation. She was a living genius doctor at Gong Ze's place.
"Just three months?" Lin Xuanyi was no longer as excited as she was now. Three months was enough for him to recover. She would be able to cultivate her spiritual energy the way she did five years ago.
"What do you mean just three months? If I was two years earlier, then three days earlier would have been enough." Shui Qinan really couldn't understand their thoughts. Three months was already a long time.
"Boss, don't use your ability to judge us! Boss, we're all mortals!" Chu Tianyan's heart was filled with tears.
Lin Xuanyi believed what Shui Qinan said, because Chu Tianyan had told him before. He had suspected Shui Qinan as well, but the truth was that Shui Qinan was right.
Indeed, he didn't believe in Shui Qinan, he couldn't believe in a stranger if he wanted him to, but he believed in Chu Tianyan's judgement.
Shui Qinan had a rare liking to Lin Xuanyi. She had a strange personality, but in Gong Ze's three years, not a single person had grown up. To think that they would meet two people with such a low level of Yan Qi Kingdom.
Shui Qinan always had a principle in helping others, and that was to look at the mood. She was in a good mood today. She took out a blue and white porcelain bottle from her Cosmos Sack and threw it at Lin Xuanyi, "Your body is too weak, you should make up for it first."
Lin Xuanyi thought it was some kind of ordinary pill. After opening it, he looked at the five pills in the bottle. She finally understood why Chu Tianyan had a face full of unease whenever he mentioned Shui Qinan.
This bottle was filled with top-grade spiritual medicines. Within the Yan Qi Kingdom, only one could be bought with a hundred thousand Qing Jin stone, and his father had even bought one for him.
Now, he had obtained five crystals so easily. Furthermore, Shui Qinan had just thrown it to him, so he was not worried at all about damaging the spirit medicine.
"These?" Lin Xuanyi could not help but ask.
"Too little?" Shui Qinan asked as she hurriedly shook her head, "No, no, no." How could she think of it as too little? It was already too much. Shui Qinan really thought that Lin Xuanyi was lacking in it, and she took out a blue and white porcelain bottle from her Heaven and Earth Pouch and threw it at Lin Xuanyi.
Lin Xuanyi carefully caught it, afraid that Shui Qinan would break it by accident.
"There are ten of them. Eat any one of them to replenish your body energy. I'll look for more medicine later." Shui Qinan said indifferently.
Lin Xuanyi and Chu Tianyan looked at each other. Lin Xuanyi felt that her view of the world had been refreshed. Lin Xuanyi's last bit of alienation towards Shui Qinan immediately disappeared. This woman was definitely a demon!
