For the first time, Shu Chen hated his own identity. Even though he was born to be superior, what could he do? He was more helpless than anyone else.
"It's my responsibility, and I won't shirk it." Jiang Shuxuan whispered, "Mom, it's very late, go to bed early."
Shu Chen didn't hang up the phone. She took a deep breath and said, "Next time I come back, I'll take her with me. The secular world is the secular world. Mom will never leave her side. She will protect her and prevent her from being harmed by heaven." Injury!"
As a member of the Jiang family, we have many responsibilities.
An ancestor of the Jiang family married an ordinary woman in the secular world and was not tolerated by heaven. When that ancestor went out, his wife was chopped into ashes. No one in the entire ancient martial arts world dared to resist. When he came back, he escaped The devil's way has bloodbathed the ancient martial arts world, and the situation is extremely tragic.
As a result, the entire Jiang family's vitality was severely damaged, and the ancient martial arts world also realized the horror of the Jiang family.
After that, the entire Presbyterian Church had this rule in order to avoid this situation.
Jiang Shuxuan was startled for a moment, then chuckled, "Thank you, Mom."
"Who made you my son?" Shu Chen, who was in the capital, wiped away his tears, "When will you come back?"
"Soon." Jiang Shuxuan walked towards the city.
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back." Shu Chen hung up the phone, his face lost in thought.
"Madam," the housekeeper brought her a cup of tea and said softly, "the elders are still waiting for your reply."
Shu Chen held the phone in his hand and pursed his lips, "Tell them, I won't interfere in Shu Xuan's matter. If they want to interfere, let them do it themselves."
The housekeeper nodded and conveyed Shu Chen's meaning to the group of elders in the ancient martial arts world.
The steps are very fast. Are you going to tell the elders in the ancient martial arts world? Do they dare to confront Jiang Shuxuan
Desert to the northwest.
Yibing and Yitong stood outside the city gate. After watching Jiang Shuxuan leave, Yitong gathered his coat, slowly walked to Xiahou Chengqin, and clicked his tongue twice, "He's still alive? The boss is still here. Killed her?"
He had thought that Xiahou Chengqin had been wiped out by the news just now. Now it seems that except for the fact that his identity as a wizard has been abolished, everything else is still fine!
"What do you mean, boss?" Yitong looked at Yibing, a little confused as to what Jiang Shuxuan was thinking.
Yibing thought for a while, "Didn't you hear Cicely say today that Miss Gu wants to punish Xiahou Chengqin? The boss should have spared his life for Miss Gu to play with."
Yitong glanced at Yibing strangely, "Do you trust Miss Gu so much?" It was strange, so he believed her, but Yibing had just met Gu Xiqiao, how could he trust her so much
"I don't believe you," Yibing said without explaining, patting Yitong's shoulder directly, "It's better to get Xiahou Chengqin back first, otherwise her little life will be over before tomorrow. "
Yitong: "..." Thank you so much for believing in me!
Jiang Shuxuan did not go back directly, but changed his clothes, added a coat, and then walked towards the tower. When he went back, Gu Xiqiao was sitting on the bed in a daze. He had been working on things here without sleep in the past few days, and she Not much better.
She was sleeping very deeply when he went out. He specifically chose outside the city and set up an isolation formation in this house. Unexpectedly, this movement still disturbed her.
Still underestimated her sensitivity.
"Brother Jiang," Gu Xiqiao sat on the bed, thinking about the thunder just now, and couldn't help but pursed his lips, "Where have you been?"
"Deal with some things," Jiang Shuxuan took off his coat, "Go to sleep."
"You changed into a different set of clothes," Gu Xiqiao glanced at him, and then said softly, "This is not the one you wore when you went to bed."
Jiang Shuxuan, "..." She was obviously wearing the same style, but she could still tell it at a glance, so it was a headache to find a girl with a good memory.
"you… "
Before the words were spoken, Jiang Shuxuan put his arms around her, lowered his head and kissed her gently, sealing the words she had not spoken.
Her lips were soft and warm, and her clear eyes were black and white. She was looking at him accusingly, and then gradually turned into a confused expression.
After a while, Jiang Shuxuan loosened his hand, held the person in his arms, and gently closed his eyes, "Go to sleep."
Gu Xiqiao did not dare to move because she was worried about the injury on his back. She had been worried a lot recently and was running back and forth. She was also in low spirits. She rested her head on his arm and fell asleep after a while.
The person in his arms was more real than ever before, and his empty heart was instantly filled. Her gentle breathing was heard on his neck. Jiang Shuxuan gently opened his eyes and pulled up the quilt. He who thought he couldn't fall asleep soon fell asleep. .
The next day.
When Xiahou Chengqin woke up, she was in her bed. Suddenly, she remembered what happened last night. She started working suddenly, and all the spiritual energy in her body disappeared.
How can it be? Xiahou Chengqin's expression changed. She stood up, turned over two talisman papers, and drew two strokes on them with cinnabar, but there was no aura at all.
"Miss Xiahou, the royal family leader is here!" The shopkeeper from the medicine hall came in quickly, "His son's condition seems to have worsened!"
As he finished speaking, there was a burst of screams and cries from the front hall. Not only was the royal family chief here, but his wife was also here, making a noise in front of the medicine hall.
Xiahou Chengqin put aside the matter of witchcraft for the time being. She believed that there is no unstoppable path, and the most important thing at the moment is the human heart. She immediately walked outside, only to see that the son of the royal family chief she had woken up from yesterday was not only in a coma, but also... The fever persists.
When the royal family chief saw Xiahou Chengqin, he seemed to have seen a savior, "Wizard, please save my son!"
"Get out of the way." Xiahou Chengqin walked to the son of the royal family chief, but did not draw the talisman again. Instead, he took out the remaining talisman paper that he had been drawing before. Now that her talent was ruined, the talisman paper she drew was simply useless. Without magical powers, this is the only way.
The royal patriarch immediately pulled away from his wife, who was crying on top of his son, and immediately stepped aside, nervously explaining.
Xiahou Chengqin slapped the talisman on the man's forehead, then lit it, exchanged the talisman for someone and fed it to him to drink.
However, the miracle did not appear again this time, and the child showed no sign of waking up. His body temperature even grew higher and higher, and a layer of black mist gradually formed on his face.
how so? Xiahou Chengqin couldn't understand why the talisman was useless this time. In the past, no matter what kind of illness it was, as long as this talisman was burned, all illnesses would disappear immediately. Why was there no reaction at all today? She was beginning to regret it now. She originally thought that with her witchcraft, there was no disease in the world that she couldn't cure. Yesterday she was mocking Gu Xiqiao for not knowing anything, but she didn't expect that she was more of a joke than she was!
"Wizard, what happened to my son?" The royal family chief looked at his son whose expression remained unchanged, feeling surprised and uncertain.
Mrs. Wang had a much hotter temper than him. She looked at her son lying on the bed and his hands and feet were twitching for some reason, and shouted sternly, "You vicious woman! What did you do to my son!"
Xiahou Chengqin took a step back. She didn't know, she really didn't know.
Another panic soon came from the door, "Ms. Xiahou, what happened to my son today!"
When everyone saw it, it turned out to be the young man who fell on the street yesterday. He was being pulled over by a car at this time. His face had turned blue and black, and he looked like a dead person.
When Xiahou Chengqin saw that his life was gone, he shook his head and said, "He is hopeless. Let's go back and prepare for the funeral."
More and more people came to watch the excitement. They were all loyal fans of Xiahou Chengqin and believed in her deeply. However, their eyes gradually changed when they saw this situation. It turned out that there were also diseases that the wizard could not cure
At this time, a woman walked out of the crowd. She held her son and said to the crying people, "I told you yesterday that she killed my husband. If you don't believe it, I think you should hurry up." Go find Miss Gu!"
The royal family leader took a closer look and saw that the woman he had admonished last night was the woman he was holding. The son she was holding in her hand had a ruddy complexion, dark eyes, and a bright look. Compared with his son, he was completely different.
"Miss Gu?" One of the crying family members beside the young man suddenly raised his head, with a regretful expression on his face, "I know that Miss Gu, I met her yesterday, she wanted to treat my son, but He was rejected by me and almost killed my son. He really blinded me!"
"That Miss Gu is living in the City Lord's Mansion. I'm going to thank her today. If you go with me, you might be able to save your son's life." The woman held her son in hand and said, not caring about that. The man replied, then he took the basket and his son and left here.
The young man's family gritted their teeth, then carried the young man and walked all the way to the city lord's mansion.
Anyway, Miss Xiahou said there was no hope, so why not give it a try!
The royal family leader was more partial to Xiahou Chengqin in his heart. After all, the other party's methods were too powerful. But when he saw his son twitching, he felt panicked and impatient. Mrs. Wang grabbed his collar and said, "Why are you still standing there? If you haven’t carried our son to the city lord’s palace yet, do you want to watch him die?!”
"We must believe in the wizard, who is our greatest leader." The royal family leader brushed away Mrs. Wang's hand, "Miss Xiahou, can you save my son?"
Xiahou Chengqin was shocked, but she couldn't cure the disease. How could Gu Xiqiao cure it? Thinking of this? She said, "Don't believe that person just now. Her child is not sick, so how can she cure it?"
After finishing speaking, she rummaged through the cabinets and found a few paper charms that she had drawn before, and then continued to treat the son of the royal family leader.
"We really don't want to go and comfort Miss Gu?" Mrs. Wang was worried.
The royal family leader thought about Xiahou Chengqin's ability and nodded with confidence, "You have to believe in the wizard. The wizard is the greatest person in the Lisu tribe. Even God will shun his existence."
"Yes, Mrs. Wang, you should believe Miss Xiahou. Don't look at the aunt who just carried her son to the city lord's palace. She will come back to Miss Xiahou in tears later!" the onlookers said to Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang watched Xiahou Chengqin light a paper talisman out of thin air and felt relieved for the time being.
The group of people discussed and laughed with each other, waiting for the people who carried the family to the city lord's mansion to continue carrying the young man back.
Xiahou Chengqin used all the talismans at the bottom of the box, but he couldn't do anything about the child. In fact, the child's face became darker and darker, and he was about to lose his life. But at this time, a voice came, " He was saved, that Miss Gu saved her life!"
Rescued? That Miss Gu saved the person!
sky! Xiahou Chengqin said personally that he was hopeless, but he was actually saved by Miss Gu
The onlookers seemed to have been strangled by the neck. They looked in the direction of the city tower in disbelief. Thinking of what I just said about the man with a face that could not be matched by a wizard's finger, they all blushed and wished they could find a hole in the ground. Bury yourself!
The royal patriarch looked at his son who was still lying on the bed and was as angry as a thread, and he was in a daze.
"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and carry your son over!" Mrs. Wang pushed the royal family leader hard, "I told you to find a poisonous woman, but you didn't listen. If there is something wrong with my son, I will I’ll fight you!”
"Madam, I offended that Miss Gu yesterday," Patriarch Wang was so frightened that his fingers were trembling, "Do you think she is still willing to help us treat our illnesses?" Thinking of the way he scolded Gu Xiqiao yesterday for being ungrateful, he thought I feel endless regret and my intestines are turning green!
"Damn it, do you want our son to die?" Mrs. Wang felt sad.
If he had known that Miss Gu was really capable and lent him the courage, he would not have done this. It was all Xiahou Chengqin, she had induced him intentionally or unintentionally!
At this time, the young man who had just been carried away had been helped back by his family. Although it was not so magical that he was healed all of a sudden, the blackness on his face was gone, and his face had even begun to regain its rosy color.
"Chief Royal, it's important to save your life. Quickly carry the child over and take a look. Miss Gu is so smart that she won't care about a little person like you." Someone suggested.
Upon hearing these words, the royal family chief and the others did not care about Xiahou Chengqin and immediately carried him over.
Rumors are already spreading on the streets.
"I heard that Miss Gu can do extraordinary things. The elder said it himself."
"That's really a fairy-like figure!"
"I scolded her for being ignorant yesterday, it's over!"
The once bustling Xiahou Medicine Hall has now become sparse. Most people would not come to her if they had a headache, but would often run towards the city tower.
Those who had scolded Miss Gu were all regretful and ashamed. Whenever they saw Gu Xiqiao from a distance, they wanted to bury their heads in the cracks in the ground, so that even those who were sick at home did not dare to go to her. I had to resist on my own.
Xiahou Chengqin stayed in the medicine hall in despair. She was the only one left in the whole medicine hall.
A few days ago, she was standing here with the admiration of thousands of people. However, today, as soon as other people saw her shop, they wanted to stay away from it, fearing that they would be exposed to the bad luck here. At first, she showed her teeth and insisted on retaliating. He wanted to find an opportunity to take revenge on Gu Xiqiao.
At this time, the elders of the Lisu tribe issued an order, and the Lisu wizard was replaced by the little boy who was rescued by Gu Xiqiao at the beginning.
Because the family believed in Gu Xiqiao from the beginning, Gu Xiqiao took the little boy to stay with him for two days after he recovered from the illness. After going back, the little boy found that he had an understanding of witchcraft. It even summoned rain for the Lisu people.
As soon as this incident came out, the entire Lisu people were shocked.
Especially the elders of the Lisu tribe, who led a group of people to kneel under the gate of the city tower under the clear sky to express their gratitude.
The elders of the Lisu tribe are spiritual figures in the Lisu tribe. Seeing that they are all like this, the others are even more shocked by Gu Xiqiao. The people who were already full of regrets want to hit the wall now. Their medical skills are nothing, but they can call the wind and rain in the legend. witchcraft! Knowing just a little bit can make you stand out from others!
Finally, the news that the little boy could move to the ancient martial arts world came out again, which made everyone jealous. They secretly envied how his luck could be so good. Isn't he the first patient saved by Miss Gu? He was jealous and regretful. Being able to move to the ancient martial arts world was the wish of every generation of Lisu people, but he succeeded so easily. Even the elders with the highest status treated him with courtesy.
This is really a meteoric rise.
Xiahou Chengqin, who was still thinking about revenge, fell to the ground after hearing the news. She listened to the rumors from the people around her, and the jealousy in her heart turned into regret. Without her identity as a wizard, she was nothing in the eyes of others. .
Especially the method that Gu Xiqiao taught the little boy. She once secretly ran out of the city to see it. It was really a skill that could control the wind and rain. She thought about it during countless midnight reincarnations if she had not offended Gu. Xiqiao, will the other party teach her this because of her status as a wizard
Whenever he thinks of these things when he is down and out, and thinks that she once had the opportunity to embark on the road to becoming a king, but was abruptly cut off by him, Xiahou Chengqin's heart feels as if it is bleeding and the pain is endless.
