"Thank you, big sister." Lin Xintang took the candy with great politeness.
I looked toward the spot where Lin Qianshan had fallen unconscious and motioned with my finger, "Let's go, Xiao Honghong."
"Woman, this ti I really sacrificed a lot," Xiao Honghong crawls out of Lin Qianshan's nostril, shaking its wings vigorously.
It shook off the mucus sticking to it and flew towards .
Hearing Xiao Honghong's aggrieved tone, I opened the Matchbox, "I know everything, and I rember your contributions. Xiao Honghong, co in and rest. You must be really tired by now."
"You do have a conscience." Xiao Honghong crawled into the Matchbox, and its vibrant, shiny body stopped moving.
I closed the Matchbox carefully, tucked it away, and went to et with Yu Longting and Lin Xini outside the ancestral hall.
Under the moon, Yu Longting stood tall and still, waiting quietly.
"Cousin, how is Xintang? She's not hurt, is she?" Lin Xini ca up imdiately, asking with deep concern.
Although I hadn't expended any spiritual power, the emotional roller coaster left
sowhat exhausted, "She's okay now; Lin Hang is taking care of her."
After speaking, my gaze t Yu Longting's eyes, thankful for his thod that allowed us to accomplish our goals tonight.
Right now, I wasn't sure what the situation was like in the Alchemy Chamber.
"I was so worried, Xintang must have been scared," Lin Xini patted her chest, asking about Lin Xintang's condition.
My gaze moved away from Yu Longting and I replied to Lin Xini, "Tangtang was a bit startled. If you're worried, you can go in and keep her company."
"I'd better show you the way. Without Brother Qianshan, you're not familiar with the Lin Family residence and could easily get lost."
Lin Xini offered understandingly.
I nodded in agreent.
Together, the three of us headed towards the Lin Family Alchemy Room.
On the way, Lin Xini spoke up carefully, "Now that my innocence has been proven, could you please remove the gu from ? Even if the Gu Insects aren't active, having them feed on nutrients in my blood is quite painful for ."
"How can you assure
that your sister won't co out and take over?" I looked down at Lin Xini, asking a very practical question.
Lin Xini held out her hands, palms up, "If cousin-in-law could grant
a talisman, I could suppress my sister's soul, so she can never co out."
"Yu Longting, give her a talisman," I said to Yu Longting.
Yu Longting raised an eyebrow, "You think I just give out my talismans for free? Just say the word and it's given?"
"Don't be so stingy, Yu Longting~" I said, tugging on the sleeve of his arm.
Yu Longting snorted lightly and slapped a talisman into my palm, "You win."
"Here, take this." I handed the talisman to Lin Xini.
My fingers brushed the Matchbox, and I whispered,
"Xiao Honghong, remove the gu from Lin Xini."
Lin Xini was nearly moved to tears, "Thank you, cousin. I won't let you down."
Yu Longting arched an eyebrow, the corner of his mouth curving into a mocking smile.
The Lin Family's Alchemy area was especially large; from a distance, you could see the spacious square.
Several enormous outdoor Pill Furnaces were placed on the square, their bronze surfaces aged with the traces of ti.
They looked quite old, maybe even antique.
"Ahead is the Alchemy Room," Lin Xini said, playing with a lock of her hair.
In her pri, every move she made already had a graceful charm.
Specially her act of twirling her hair exuded an undeniable allure.
"Let's not rush over there yet." I stopped Lin Xini.
Lin Xini obediently halted, "Okay, cousin."
Yu Longting too stopped in step, intuitively understanding my intent, his gaze landing on a piece of Taihu Rock, "That piece of Taihu Rock is big enough to hide a person."
No sooner had the three of us hidden, than we saw a woman in black, elegantly climbing the stone stairs leading to the Alchemy Room.
Embroidered with silver thread on her black garnt was a lifelike grey rat with eyes as red as blood, brimming with murderous intent, as if ready to burst forth from the fabric at any mont.
