"Are you sure...this is the recipe for the Soul-Reviving Pill? Is there really such a medicine in the world?" Li Chan'er looked at the prescription written in crooked handwriting, and she was naturally suspicious.
"It does exist, but it is not as miraculous as the legend says," Xu Zhen said. "It can only relieve the pain and last for a while. It cannot eradicate the disease, let alone bring the dead back to life."
Hearing this, a trace of disappointment flashed across Li Chan'er's face.
It turned out that after being diagnosed by many famous doctors, Li Sixiong was suffering from a terminal illness and his time was running out.
After the Ghost Face Killer incident, he suffered severe injuries and became terminally ill.
It was precisely for this reason that Li Chaner did not take the risk of leaving Yanping with Li Sixiong and temporarily committed herself to the secret room of the escort agency.
With Li Sixiong's current body, he simply cannot withstand the fatigue of traveling and traveling. Once he hits the road, he is really "on the road".
Just now, Li Chan'er thought that Xu Zhen's soul-reviving pill could save her father's life, but she didn't expect that it would be in vain after all, and she felt naturally disappointed.
However, seeing her father suffering from illness in the past few days, Li Chan'er was also very anxious. If this prescription can really relieve the pain, it will be a little gratifying.
So, Li Chan'er's gloomy expression finally softened, and she said to Xu Zhen:
"Xu Zhen, why are you talking arrogantly in the woods? You don't want to continue now, do you?"
Li Chan'er said it cryptically, but she was actually asking Xu Zhen, why do you have to chase me? Don’t you still want to chase me now?
"Miss Li," Xu Zhen quickly clasped his fists and said seriously, "I did this just to scare you away, because I suspect that there are accomplices of gangsters among the entourage!"
"Oh?" Li Chan'er was surprised, "What if I have accomplices? Am I still afraid of them?"
"No," Xu Zhen said, "Meng Qingxi told me a name before he died, and that was Meng Qinghui..."
In this way, Xu Zhen told Li Chaner all his findings and speculations about the case, except for the last sentence.
"So..." Xu Zhen said finally, "I don't want those traitors to know too much about you and put you in danger!
"Although Miss Li has excellent martial arts skills, after all, the other party is an evil organization, which is secretly and good at poisoning. It would be fine if I were harmed by them, but I must not harm you!"
"Alas." However, Xu Zhen's little thoughts were clearly seen by Li Chan'er. Miss Li immediately glanced at Xu Zhen angrily, "To put it bluntly, you are scared and want me to protect you. This exciting general Isn’t the law a bit too insincere?”
"That's wrong," Xu Zhen said solemnly, "a small bottle of medicine can poison so many people, and they are well organized and hidden so deeply, they must have no good intentions!
"Although it is my duty to eradicate such an evil organization, the enemy's martial arts skills are too high and their abilities are too great. They cannot even guarantee their own safety. How can we eradicate evil?
"So... Xu Zhen begs Miss Li for help!"
After saying this, Xu Zhen cupped his fists and handed over to Li Chan'er again.
After cupping her fists, Li Chaner stopped talking. Although her face was still as cold as ice, she seemed to be thinking about Xu Zhen's request.
"Xu Zhen," Li Chan'er asked for a long time, "this time you asked me for help because you met a master. But the last time you went to Yaochang Village to detect a mass poisoning case, there was no danger at that time, so why did you invite me to go with you? ?”
"White fox," Xu Zhen said without thinking, "because I want to prove to you that seeing a white fox is not necessarily a bad thing!"
"It seems..." Li Chan'er frowned slightly, "You didn't encounter anything good, right?"
What Li Chaner means is that the reason why you have provoked the evil organization now is because you saw the white fox?
"This... one code is the same," Xu Zhen quickly defended, "After all, I used the white fox to make Meng Qingxi tell the truth. The white fox is just the inner demon, and we have to truly control our destiny."
Xu Zhen's words were obviously meant for Li Chan'er.
This white fox is just like Li Chaner's inner demon. She always thought that her elder brother was a ghost-faced killer, her father was terminally ill, and the escort agency closed down overnight, all because of her seeing the white fox.
Xu Zhen, on the other hand, wanted to use the solution of the mass poisoning case in Yaochang Village to prove that evil in the world existed and had nothing to do with the white fox.
I have to say that Li Chaner felt much relieved after hearing Xu Zhen's words.
Even if she didn't see the white fox, it would be impossible to change reality.
It was precisely because of this relief that there was a slight fluctuation in her heart, and she felt a little strange about the agent Xu Zhen.
"Then..." As if to cover up her inner fluctuations, Li Chan'er asked instead, "What does that red lotus... look like?"
"Yes, yes," Xu Zhen quickly took out a piece of paper from his sleeves, on which was a red lotus he drew himself, "Miss Li is well-informed, let's see if she recognizes what kind of evil organization this is? "
Li Chan'er took it and looked at it for a long time, but she shook her head repeatedly.
Xu Zhen had already been mentally prepared. After all, this thing was not even recorded in "Xuan Dao". It was not surprising that Li Chan'er had not seen it before.
"Look," however, this gave Xu Zhen more reasons, "I haven't even seen you, which means this evil organization is very evil!"
"But..." Li Chan'er said, "You also know that my father is seriously ill. Even if I want to help you, I still..."
"I've thought about this a long time ago," Xu Zhen said, "I have a best-of-both-worlds solution that can perfectly solve this problem."
"What can I do?" Li Chan'er asked.
"Miss Li, I've packed up the whole house," Xu Zhen seemed to be waiting for this, and immediately said happily, "Move to my house!"
"You?" Li Chan'er was angry and waved the fly whisk as if to hit her, "I just gave you a good look and you got sick again?"
"Oh," Xu Zhen waved his hand quickly, "You should listen to me! Wait until I finish speaking, and you can fight me again!"
"Okay," Li Chan'er gritted her silver teeth, "You say it!"
"I mean, let you live in my house with Mr. Li," Xu Zhen explained. "The secret room is dark and damp, and the weather is freezing. How can it be suitable for recuperation?
"Moreover, your food, clothing, housing and transportation are all inconvenient, and there are many people outside who hate the escort agency who always come to make trouble, which is even more unfavorable for recuperation.
"Well, what if you move to my house?" Xu Zhen gestured, "The separate houses in the backyard are all tidied up, and there are gardens. It's a comfortable place to live, with good sunshine and air!
"Also, I have a servant and a cook at home. I take care of all the food, clothing, and daily necessities. The food is delicious. Does eating well mean good health?
"Besides, my servants are strict with their words and keep their confidentiality, so no one will disturb them. Then, wouldn't it be convenient for you to practice some martial arts or something?"
"I am now the chief arrester of the Yamen, and I am highly appreciated by the county magistrate. Even if someone knows that Mr. Li is in my house, no one will dare to come and cause trouble. How good is that?"
"this……"
Li Chan'er couldn't help but feel excited, because Xu Zhen's guess was correct. She was indeed facing many difficulties at present, which was really not good for her father's recovery.
However, her heart remained calm and she immediately snorted and said, "I think you want to use me to protect you and your family, right?"
"So I said early on that we have the best of both worlds!" Xu Zhen clapped his hands and then corrected, "However, we are not using each other, this is proper mutual help and love! Hehe..."
"Bah!" Li Chan'er said angrily, "What about helping and loving each other? If you still talk openly in the future, then I won't help you!"
"Okay, okay, no problem!" Xu Zhen was overjoyed, because after Li Chaner said this, she naturally agreed to him.
"Then..." Li Chan'er said, "I'm going to tell my father right away. My second uncle is also with me. Let's pack our luggage and you go find a carriage!"
"Um..." Xu Zhen pointed at the main entrance of the escort agency, "The carriage has been prepared a long time ago. I will ask the coachman to drive in directly!"
"You..." Li Chaner then realized that Xu Zhen had come prepared...
