Bite the spring pear

Chapter 146 Good girl, it's time to get off the bus and play the villain.

"You think you can heal my granddaughter? Don't make a fool of yourself, you little stinking Taoist priest. Get out of my way right now, or swords won't have eyes and will cleave you in two!"

Meng Lao Er glared angrily, completely disregarding Master Fu Xian's words.

Fu Xian stood upright like a pine tree, and with a slight lift of his arm, he easily caught the Guan Gong broadsword, saying, "If you delay any longer, your granddaughter's condition will have endless consequences."

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Old Man Meng roared in fury. "You stinking Taoist priest, are you in cahoots with this little jinx? How dare you curse my granddaughter! I'm going to chop you up right now!"

He cursed and tried to use the hilt of Guan Gong's broadsword to strike Fu Xian, but he was suppressed by Fu Xian's strength and could not swing the broadsword no matter how hard he tried.

The blade was made of pure copper.

The handle is made of rosewood.

It is carved with a lifelike blue dragon.

Fu Xian said calmly, "Sir, please be rational. I suspect your granddaughter has been bewitched."

"Poisoned by... poison?" Meng Lao Er calmed down a bit. "How could that be? There's no such thing as poison in this world. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll pull out your tongue."

Fu Xian: "You believe in such fallacies as the 'jinx' (a jinxed star), why don't you believe in witchcraft?"

"You..." Meng Lao Er was speechless for a moment. After a while, he thought for a moment and said, "Fine, I'll trust you this once. If you can't cure him, I will never let you and this little jinx off the hook."

"no problem."

“Master.” The situation suddenly took a different turn, and Xie Jiyan intervened in time: “You are a distinguished guest of the Xie family, and we shouldn’t involve you. I will find another renowned doctor to examine her.”

“Even a renowned doctor cannot treat a gu poison if he does not recognize it,” Fu Xian said. “Besides, you invited me here because you wanted me to help you resolve the gu poison issue, so I might as well resolve this problem for your wife first.”

He was incredibly shrewd; with just a snap of his fingers, he could tell who was righteous and who was evil.

"Then I'll trouble you, Master."

As they spoke, Xie Jiyan turned around and grasped Jinli's wrist: "Shall we go to the Nie family together?"

This is to seek her opinion.

Jinli unconsciously bit her lower lip, wanting to back down, but in the end she mustered up her courage and nodded: "Mm."

Because as long as Xie Jiyan is there, she is not afraid even if she is trapped in a dangerous situation.

……

The Nie family. The van drove into the villa gate, the lush greenery reflected in the car windows.

As Jinli gazed at this familiar yet unfamiliar place, the shadows of her childhood returned, like an invisible hand in the darkness, stained with the smell of blood, suffocating her and making it hard for her to breathe.

"Xie Jiyan, I suddenly feel a little cold." Her body trembled slightly, but she didn't dare to say that she was afraid. "Can you hug me?"

Nothing is safer than his embrace.

Master Fu Xian was in another car; at this moment, it was just the two of them.

Without saying a word, Xie Jiyan picked her up and sat her on his lap, grabbed a coat from the side and wrapped it tightly around her: "It's okay, don't be afraid, I'm here."

He seemed to be able to read minds, or perhaps they were kindred spirits; moreover, he understood her far too well.

"This is your home too, Ali."

Those few words made Jinli's nose sting with tears, and she felt like crying.

“It’s not my home.” She buried her head in his warm chest. “I’m a child they abandoned. Han Chun Garden is my home.”

Her home is only where Xie Jiyan is.

"What do you think their expressions will be when they see me? Will they be terrified?"

Her voice trembled slightly, yet she tried her best to feign a smug, mischievous tone: "I really want to see my cousins ​​cower under the table in fear, and my grandma too..."

She stopped abruptly, tears welling up in her eyes, and didn't continue speaking.

Xie Jiyan quietly held her in his arms.

He knew that she was more heartbroken and suffering than anyone else.

"Perhaps your grandmother, your mother... they want you to come back."

"Will not."

She promised him she would be the happiest Ali, but she still couldn't keep her promise. "They will never want me to come back. Otherwise, they wouldn't have left me so far away to fend for myself."

Xie Jiyan remained silent, giving her enough time to process her grievances, and then personally wiped away her tears little by little.

She coaxed gently, "Alright, sweetie, it's time to get out of the car and play the villain."
