Chapter 697: Chapter 724: Another Misunderstanding (2)
Su Xiong showed a hint of request on his face, "Sect Leader Lin, itâs about my daughter. Once the turbulence settles, I presume Chuzhou City will be serene."
"At that time, I want to bring her back from the countryside. Her illness needs your help for treatment!"
"Because in this world, I truly canât find anyone else who can cure my daughterâs illness. Even Divine Doctor Zhang Huacheng has no solution!"
"And last time, you managed to control my daughterâs illness without any equipment and even provided some medicine. I checked those medicines, and they are very good for her illness!"
Upon hearing Su Xiongâs words, Lin Xi recalled his first few days in Chuzhou City when he met Su Qiaoqiao, who possessed an âExtreme Cold Body.â If it werenât for him using the True Qi of the Yang Xuanyuan Shenlong Art to neutralize the cold poison in her body, Su Qiaoqiao might have been frozen like an ice block that night she was alone outside.
In that case, she would certainly be beyond saving.
However, the cold poison in her body keeps regenerating and is extremely difficult to cure. Hence, he gave her a small bottle of Red Fire Pill back then to help suppress the cold poison in her body.
By calculation, if one pill is taken every three days, that small bottle of Red Fire Pill should be almost used up by now.
"No problem, Uncle Su. Even if you hadnât mentioned it, I wouldnât neglect Qiaoqiao!" Lin Xi responded at this time.
After all, even though Su Qiaoqiao isnât well-endowed or tall, she indeed resembles little Lolita in looks and is exceedingly playful. Her appearance is no less than Xiaojuanâs.
This holds potential for her to become his future wife!
Thus, he certainly wouldnât ignore her plight.
If Su Xiong knew Lin Xi thought this way, he might reconsider about seeking Lin Xiâs help.
Hearing Lin Xi willing to help, Su Xiong was very pleased and stated that if Lin Xi needed any assistance, he should feel free to ask him, and no matter what, he would come over without a second thought.
Upon returning to the shop entrance, Elder Xiang invited Su Xiong and his group inside for a sit, but Su Xiong had other matters to attend to, so he promptly left with his people.
Before leaving, he had already instructed the developer to be ready to take Elder Xiang to view villas and shops at any moment.
Lin Xi didnât have much to do here either, and it was about five oâclock now; he had forgotten to inform the professor when he would return.
Perhaps the old professor was still waiting for him in the office.
Going inside to pick up the Chinese medicines that Elder Xiang bought at the herb market, when he came out, he found Elder Xiang in his drugstore, gathering other medicinal ingredients to pack together for Lin Xi.
After a short while, with all the medicinal ingredients ready, Lin Xi prepared to bid farewell.
Of course, even though Elder Xiang didnât intend to charge him for the medicinal ingredients, Lin Xi forcefully paid him.
Business is business, especially since a few thousand yuan is practically negligible for him.
At the same time, he told Elder Xiang, advising him to go and view the villa and shop, and said they should move over by tomorrow.
As for the moving company, he said he happened to know acquaintances, and tomorrow morning, someone would bring a truck over to help them move.
"Xiaojuan, Iâll come to visit you next time!" Lin Xi said to Xiang Juan, "If you miss me, come find me at Jiangnan University!"
After saying that, Lin Xi left with the medicine.
Xiang Juan looked at Lin Xiâs departing figure and secretly thought, "Jiangnan University?"
"Isnât this the school sheâs always dreamed of attending? Could Lin Xi be at Jiangnan University? Isnât it a school like New Oriental?"
"Or maybe Jiangnan University has a culinary program???"
Now, in the drugstore, only three people remained, Elder Xiang, Xiang Juan, and the developer who wore a flattering expression.
Once Lin Xi stepped out of the small alleyway, he directly called Xu Hong, asking him to prepare the truck from last time and bringing people over tomorrow to help Elder Xiang and Xiang Juan move.
Of course, those who come must look friendly, not scaring Elder Xiang and Xiang Juan.
Additionally, he asked him to immediately eliminate Ma San and his two minions, ensuring they wouldnât see tomorrowâs sun.
Once everything was instructed, Lin Xi casually flagged down a taxi and returned to school.
When he arrived at school again, it was already past six.
By this time, the last class had long ended.
Professors and teachers should have left their offices, heading back to their dormitories or homes.
Spending ten minutes, he returned to the faculty office entrance.
At this moment, upon glancing at the faculty office, it was already empty!
No, hold on. In the corner, where the old professor was, a lamp still shone.
The old professor, somewhat uneasy, sat there, with a much richer expression on his face than when Lin Xi left.
In fact, after Lin Xi walked out of the office, the old professor sent the photographed prescription and usage instructions, as well as precautions, to his wife.
His wife immediately called him, claiming that the prescription was a bit hard to decipher, but many ingredients contradicted each other, potentially turning into a lethal poison instantly.
Upon hearing his wifeâs words, the old professorâs complexion turned pale instantly, questioning, "Why would this happen?"
"Could it be that this student of his would want to harm him?"
"But why? Truthfully, he bears no grievances against Lin Xi!"
His wife immediately sensed his emotions and explained, "Although some ingredients contradict, I can faintly sense that these manufactured poisons might combine with other toxins and ultimately be nullified!"
"Therefore, your student likely isnât trying to harm you; maybe the prescription really holds merit."
"Plus, everything written appears very professional!"
Especially when she heard from her husband about Lin Xiâs relationship with Zhang Huacheng.
Only then did the old professor awaken from his uneasy state, gradually calming from his apprehension.
After finishing his call with his wife, he sat in the chair, waiting for Lin Xi to return.
Lin Xi walked into the office, shouting from afar, "Professor, why are you still here?"
"You should have gone home to rest earlier; as for the medicine, it can be brewed tomorrow. After all this time, thereâs no need to rush it at once, or mistakes might happen."
The old professor suddenly rose, indicating he was fine, his gaze immediately focusing on the medicinal herbs Lin Xi held, and couldnât resist asking,
"Xiaolin, did you get everything?"
Lin Xi nodded, "Got everything!"
Upon hearing this, the old professor was secretly astonished.
Earlier, during the call with his wife, she mentioned that about more than half of these herbs are quite rare, as the prescription required very elusive ones.
Even for her, itâs tough to gather them quickly.
It may take several days to gradually collect them, with a bit of luck needed.
Subsequently, the old professor excitedly grabbed the medicinal herbs, paid for them, thanked Lin Xi multiple times, then hurriedly left the office.
Lin Xi held the cash, "..."
Now, only he was left alone in the office.
Heading straight towards the door, he hadnât taken a few steps when he saw Zhu Ying, Teacher Zhu, walking in from outside.
Zhu Ying, seeing Lin Xi not far from the old professorâs desk, clearly paused, seemingly surprised at seeing Lin Xi still here.
And all alone!
With cash in hand!
Suddenly, she recalled the old professor at the elevator entrance, his face seemingly flushed with excitement...
"Could it be the two of them???" Zhu Ying wasnât sure what to think, "Could it be the two were making some kind of transaction in the office just now?"
