40: Chapter 40: Elixir (1)_1 40: Chapter 40: Elixir (1)_1 Old Master Situ’s eyes glanced at the modern history book on the little bed and thought of how Situ Xin had looked so interested before, but it seed she had discarded it long ago.
Knowing that children often have short attention spans, he didn’t take it to heart.
He just thought he would pick up the book later on—after all, it was part of his collection.
As Old Master Situ was carrying Situ Xin downstairs, Situ Che and Situ Jin were sitting on the living room sofa watching television.
At that ti, there weren’t many TV programs available, and even the cartoons were just the few dostic ones.
“Look, TV.” Situ Xin directed Old Master Situ to take her to the sofa, and when Situ Che and Situ Jin heard Situ Xin’s voice, they hurriedly shifted their gaze from the TV.
“Xiao Xin.” Situ Che’s face softened imdiately upon seeing Situ Xin.
“Brother Che.” Situ Xin greeted Situ Che with a radiant smile.
“Hold.” With that, Situ Xin stretched out her arms toward Situ Che.
Situ Che managed a sowhat forced smile, then reached out to take Situ Xin from Old Master Situ’s arms.
Seeing Situ Xin actively asking to be held by Situ Che, Old Master Situ felt a sour tug at his heart, and even his look toward Situ Che beca sowhat less friendly.
But obviously, Situ Che’s entire attention was on Situ Xin, and he didn’t even notice the unkind look in his grandfather’s eyes.
Situ Jin, on the other hand, pursed his lips, feeling jealous because Situ Xin had only noticed Situ Che and ignored him.
He watched enviously as Situ Che held Situ Xin.
“Little sister, what about ?”
How could Situ Xin not have noticed Situ Jin?
She enjoyed seeing the look of aggrievent on Situ Jin’s face and gave him a sly smile.
Then she sweetly called out, “Brother Jin.”
Situ Jin imdiately forgot that Situ Xin had just ignored him upon hearing her call him “Brother Jin,” and a smile spread across his face.
Seizing the opportunity, Situ Xin directed him, “TV.”
“Oh, little sister wants to watch TV, huh?
Co on, which one?
I’ll change it for you,” Situ Jin said as he started flipping through channels.
When he turned to the news channel, Situ Xin imdiately shouted, “This one.”
“This, this one?” Situ Jin thought there was a problem with his ears; he expected Situ Xin would prefer cartoons.
“Xiao Xin, do you want to watch this channel?” Situ Che also asked uncertainly.
“Mhm,” she replied, and then Situ Xin focused intently on the television screen.
Situ Jin and Situ Che looked at each other with confusion while watching the news broadcast, not understanding why Situ Xin would take such interest in it.
When Loo Yaxin got back, she saw Situ Che holding Situ Xin, with Situ Jin sitting to one side, all three of them deeply absorbed in the news on television.
It was sowhat acceptable for Situ Jin and Situ Che to watch the news, but seeing Situ Xin in Situ Che’s arms, her eyes wide open, watching the TV without blinking, surprised Loo Yaxin.
Although surprised, Loo Yaxin did not disturb the three children but headed to the kitchen instead.
“Mom, I’m back.
Let help you.”
“Welco back.” Since the incident with Aunt Wu, the family had been wary of hiring a housemaid, fearing a repeat of the past.
Fortunately, Old Madam Situ was quite accustod to household chores.
“Mm, mom, guess what I saw when I got back?” Thinking of her precious daughter watching the news with such seriousness, Loo Yaxin found it endearingly cute.
“Hehe, you saw the baby watching the news, right?
And let tell you, she was quite the sight,” said Old Madam Situ, who clearly rembered how intently Situ Xin watched the news, laughing as she continued, “You should have seen her earlier, reading a book so studiously—it would make you think she understood what she was reading.” If Situ Xin had heard Old Madam Situ’s words, she would definitely think, But I really do understand!
The topic of Situ Xin reading books and watching the news was discussed for several days in both the Situ and Loo families.
Upon hearing about it from his wife over the phone, Situ Haotian and Situ Haoran made a special trip back just to watch Situ Xin’s earnest news-watching expressions.
It was so endearing that they picked her up and kissed her twice.
After observing for more than a week and conducting her research, Situ Xin was certain that this world was the sa one in which she had lived in her past life.
Thinking about this conclusion made her frown.
In the evening, Situ Xin entered her space villa and nestled on the sofa.
Through the large floor-to-ceiling window, she looked out at the scenery.
“Looking at it this way, sothing serious must have happened in between, sothing seriously significant.
It even managed to drive the Situ Family, the Loo Family, off the political stage and erased all traces of their prior existence.” Thinking of this, Situ Xin narrowed her eyes, “It seems the enemy that the Situ and Loo families are facing this ti is extraordinary, with not only powerful thods but also an extraordinary status.
Moreover, is this news about disappearing simply from the political stage of Country H or disappearing from this world entirely?”
Whenever Situ Xin thought about the latter possibility, her killing intent grew stronger, “Hmph, once I unearth these people, I will make sure they regret ever coming to this world.
Thinking about harming my Situ Xin’s family, well, we’ll see if I allow that.”
In these short six months, Situ Xin basked in the deep love of her family, and she also placed them in a very important position in her heart.
And she was definitely going to settle the score with anyone who threatened her family without any hesitation.
Situ Xin knew that in this world, strength was the most important thing.
Therefore, after that, Situ Xin cultivated even harder, practicing every night in her space.
As a person with a Pure Spirit Physique, her cultivation progress in the space was extraordinarily fast.
In just over a week, she had broken through to the Foundation Establishnt Stage.
Reaching the Foundation Establishnt Stage ant that Situ Xin could now craft so simple Talismans and refine elixirs.
Upon realizing she could perform Alchemy, Situ Xin went to look for an Alchemy Furnace in the villa’s basent storehouse.
