Chapter 179 Senior Brother, your sister came to see you, but she didn't give you anything.
Chapter 179 Senior Brother, your sister came to see you, but she didn't give you anything.
Having drained the water from her younger brother's brain, Zhong Lingxin began to worry about her older brother, Zhong Muyun.
The older brother is different from the younger brother. Firstly, he is older, and secondly, they are not from the same parents. Zhong Lingxin cannot lecture him as harshly as she would her younger brother.
Zhong Muyuan comforted Zhong Lingxin, saying that he would visit his brother again tomorrow and would definitely persuade him.
Zhong Lingxin nodded. Her younger brother and older brother often trained together, so they were much more casual in their conversation and should be easier to persuade than she was.
Suddenly, Zhong Muyuan pointed ahead and said, "Oh no, that guy surnamed Liu is here."
Zhong Lingxin looked in the direction Zhong Muyuan was pointing and saw a young female cultivator walking along the path to the left. The young female cultivator wasn't the most beautiful type, but she had a delicate and pitiful air about her, and she walked gracefully and swayed gently in the breeze.
Zhong Muyuan said angrily, "Sister, I understand now. She must have heard that you came to see my brother and knew that you would definitely give him the pills."
Damn it, she came from that road, she must have seen us. Now she's pretending not to see us because she knows you're not easy to fool. She's trying to fool my brother first, and then she'll try to fool me when you're not around.
"Sister, you have no idea how good your pills and talismans are. They're all top-grade, much better than what the sect gives out."
Zhong Lingxin sneered, watching Liu Wanqiu walk away before saying, "Let's go, let's follow her quietly."
When the siblings returned to the medicine hut, the disciple on duty was about to come up to greet them, but Zhong Lingxin waved her hand, signaling him not to speak, and quietly led her brother to the entrance of the medicine hut.
Zhong Muyuan's sickbed was at the outermost edge of the medicine hut, so when the siblings listened intently, they could hear the conversation between Liu Wanqiu and Zhong Muyuan.
The disciple on duty at the medicine hut looked indignant and wanted to go up and talk to Zhong Lingxin.
Zhong Lingxin waved her hand again, signaling him not to speak.
Inside the medicine hut, Liu Wanqiu was saying mournfully, "Senior Brother Zhong, I received your message a few days ago. I really did go on a mission, and I came to see you as soon as I got back today. Senior Brother Zhong, are you feeling better?"
Zhong Muyun gave a faint "hmm" and didn't respond to her words.
Liu Wanqiu was anxious, and her voice was even more gentle: "Senior Brother Zhong, don't worry, you will definitely get better. I have been looking for rare and precious herbs to cure you these past few days. Once I find them, I will definitely send them to you. Senior Brother Zhong, you were injured like this because of me. Senior Brother, you have no idea how touched I am. Don't worry, I will definitely find rare and precious herbs to cure you."
Zhong Muyun sighed softly, "Sigh, Junior Sister Liu, you should go back first. You don't need to find me any rare and precious herbs."
"No, no, no, Senior Brother Zhong, I will definitely find you some rare and precious treasures. Senior Brother Zhong, have you found them yet? I knew it! Your sister is the only disciple under the Venerable Qingyang. If the Venerable Qingyang has anything good, he will definitely give it to your sister. Even though you're injured like this, your sister will still give it to you. Senior Brother, what kind of rare and precious treasures are they? Can I take a look? To be honest, although I've entered the inner sect, I haven't received any formal apprenticeship yet, and I've never seen any treasures..."
"Without rare and precious treasures, the entire Immortal Spirit Continent knows that my sister's master is a hermit cultivator; how could he possibly possess rare and precious treasures!"
"Then, then, senior brother, your sister came to see you, but she didn't give you anything? You're so badly injured, she should at least have given you some healing pills or something. She can even make pills herself, and she's so good at it."
"My sister gave me some spirit-replenishing pills. Alright, now that you've come to see me, you can go back."
"Senior Brother Zhong, I knew you were blaming me. I really didn't mean to not come to see you. You know, my monthly allowance is far from enough for my cultivation. I have to do missions. Senior Brother Zhong, you have a good younger sister, but I don't. I really have to do missions. Senior Brother Zhong, please don't blame me. I promise I'll make time to spend with you next time."
"Alright, I'm tired and need to rest. Junior Sister Liu, please go back."
"Senior Brother Zhong, I came to see you as soon as I finished my mission. Can you let me stay with you a little longer? You don't need to do missions now, and you don't need to meditate because your dantian is injured. Let me stay with you for a while before you rest."
"..."
"Senior Brother Zhong, this mission was extremely dangerous for me, and I almost didn't make it back. Senior Brother Zhong, I almost ran out of spiritual energy without any elixirs. Senior Brother Zhong, you have no idea how much I missed you then, how good you were to me, how much I missed you..."
"..."
"Senior Brother Zhong, if you were here, you wouldn't have watched my spiritual energy deplete. Senior Brother Zhong... Senior Brother Zhong, how many spirit-replenishing pills did your sister give you this time?"
"A few bottles."
"So little? She's been in seclusion for years, how could that be enough for us, no, how could that be enough for you! She used to give you more than this. Senior Brother Zhong, is it because she sees you can't cultivate anymore that she doesn't want to give it to you? I thought she would give you at least ten bottles."
"That's enough! My sister doesn't owe me anything; she's already given me more than enough."
"Senior Brother Zhong, that's not what I meant. Senior Brother Zhong, I...I...I've used up all my Spirit Replenishing Pills this time. Senior Brother Zhong, you know, the sect's Spirit Replenishing Pills are nowhere near as good as your sister's. Senior Brother Zhong, could you give me two more bottles? No, no, could you lend me two bottles first? I'll definitely pay you back when I come back from my next mission. Really, I'll definitely pay you back when I get my next allowance."
Zhong Lingxin was so angry she laughed at herself outside the medicine shop.
The Zhong family is truly unfortunate, having produced two idiots who were actually swindled out of so many cultivation resources by such a despicable person.
Zhong Lingxin stopped Zhong Muyuan, who was about to push the door open, and wanted to see if Zhong Muyun would still be soft-hearted towards this female swindler.
Inside the door, Liu Wanqiu was still rambling on and on.
Whether Zhong Muyun softened or was simply tired of hearing it and wanted to get rid of her, he finally sighed, "Ah, Junior Sister Liu..."
Zhong Lingxin knew she couldn't listen any longer. Regardless of Zhong Muyun's reasons, he had once been attracted to Liu Wanqiu and couldn't bring himself to slap a smiling face. He would most likely give her a bottle or two of pills to get rid of her.
Zhong Lingxin would rather feed these pills to the dogs than give them to Liu Wanqiu.
She reached out and pushed open the door of the medicine hut, and said with a soft laugh, "Brother, we're back."
When Zhong Muyun saw Zhong Lingxin and her brother return, he seemed relieved and smiled, "You're back."
Zhong Lingxin nodded: "Mu Yuan wanted to spend more time with you, so we came back. Do you have guests?"
Zhong Muyun smiled and said, "No, it just so happens that Junior Sister Liu is about to leave. Junior Sister Liu, thank you for coming to see me. Please go back now."
Seeing that Zhong Lingxin and her brother had arrived, Liu Wanqiu knew that it was impossible to get Zhong Muyun's pills today. She was secretly resentful, but on the surface, she still gently said to Zhong Muyun, "Senior Brother Zhong, I won't disturb you two siblings' conversation."
Turning her head, she bowed to Zhong Lingxin again and said, "Greetings, Senior Sister Zhong. I will visit you another day."
