The stars were still shining in the night sky, but perhaps they had grown weary of their own light. The boy felt they were a little more listless than before. The closer he got to Qingshan Town, the more obvious this illusion became, making his originally happy mood less pleasant.
Without speeding, Chen Guan slowly approached Qingshan Town. When he entered, he changed his route, passing from the back of the town.
Compared to the front street, the back was undoubtedly much quieter. It was like two different worlds separated by a few walls.
Inside the Ten Thousand Medicine House, Qing Lin held the recipe Chen Guan had once given to Xiao Yi Xian, reading it with relish. She took notes, swallowed her saliva from time to time, and was completely lost in the world of the recipes.
Xiao Yi Xian was like a considerate older sister and a gentle mother; she doted on the girl very much. She would hardly go downstairs unless she had something to do, but in the past few days, she came to visit frequently, bringing snacks and fruits and providing the girl with the most comfortable treatment.
It was the same tonight. She placed a fruit plate on the girl's table, chuckled, and touched the girl's head. She didn't say anything, but the gesture was very warm.
Putting down the fruit plate, Xiao Yi Xian walked to the window and looked at the extremely familiar scenery from afar. Qingshan Town was small, but it was an indelible mark on her life. After leaving this time, she didn't know if she would ever have the chance to come back.
As she was sighing, suddenly, a figure came into her sight.
She watched with her own eyes as his expression changed from indifferent to absent-minded and then to surprise when he looked up and discovered her. The Little Fairy Doctor smiled and teased him silently.
The young man waved his hand for her to get out of the way, and the next moment, he jumped in through the window with a slightly smug expression. The Little Fairy Doctor rolled her eyes at him.
There is a door, but he chooses to jump through the window. What a character.
Chen Guan didn't care at all. Coming here was as natural as going home.
He sat down next to the girl who was immersed in her books and predicted her movements in advance, preventing her from jumping up.
"What are you looking at so seriously?"
"Master, you're lying. Sister Xiao Yi Xian said that you gave her this book. How could you not know what's in it?"
Well, the little girl has learned to refute.
"Master, have you tried all these ways of eating? Which one tastes better?"
Those bright eyes revealed two words: curiosity and hunger.
Chen Guan chuckled and did not answer. Instead, he surprised her with a practical action. He took out a roasted Fire Fox, which he had specially caught before coming back.
The Little Fairy Doctor is going abroad for further studies. As a friend, I naturally have to prepare some specialties from our hometown for her. This is the mentality of an old flower grower.
Letting the little girl enjoy her meal happily by herself, Chen Guan looked up at the girl sitting opposite him, took out a ring, and handed it to her.
"This is a storage ring. It has a large space and is better than a primary storage ring. A kind person gave it to me today. It's useless for me to keep it. You can take it with you. It will be more convenient for you when you go out. There are some miscellaneous things in it. They are not valuable, but they are suitable for use in the Izumo Empire."
Needless to say, this storage ring was naturally a gift from the Hall of Souls guardian.
Except for the Spirit Breaking Pill, Chen Guan did not touch the other things. They were not used by normal people, and there were no other pills or medicinal herbs of high value.
Perhaps, they have already been used by the other party to heal his wounds.
He doesn't even have any of those things a normal person should have, such as Qi Methods or Dou Skills. He's just a rubbish guardian and is extremely poor!
The Little Fairy Doctor hesitated for a moment but still took it as he wished and said mockingly, "My poisonous body hasn't erupted yet, and I can't pay you back for what I owe you."
Chen Guan didn't answer her. He took out another low-level storage ring and handed it to the little girl who was eating and watching the show with her eyes wide open.
"Qing Lin has one too. This one is what I used before. There's not much space inside, but it's enough for you for now."
"Master, did you really give it to me?"
The little girl opened her greasy little hands in surprise.
Chen Guan nodded, glanced at the oily stains on her hands, and placed the ring on the table in front of her. Before today, the storage rings he used were all low-level ones, while his teacher's high-level storage ring was tied around his neck and was used to store valuables.
Now that his strength had gradually increased and he was more confident, it didn't feel as stressful to wear it anymore.
At least, I can have some fun within the Jia Ma Empire.
His teacher's storage ring was dark blue. He had forgotten to ask its previous name, but now Chen Guan called it the Crane Spirit Ring.
After giving the rings to the two girls, one big and one small, Chen Guan took out a puppet.
"The Izumo Empire is very suitable for you to practice. I won't stop you from going there, but take this puppet with you. You are going there to gain experience and grow, not to die. Safety must be guaranteed. Unless you meet an extraordinary genius, it is invincible below the Dou Wang realm. It can be exchanged for one above the Dou Wang. If you meet a Dou Huang, you'd better run away as soon as possible."
"You keep it as a trump card. Another thing you need to remember is that it can't fly, but its speed is not worse than that of a Dou Wang flying."
The Little Fairy Doctor remained silent. No matter how much she said, it was difficult to express the complexity in her heart.
A Dou Wang-level puppet! Before this, she didn't even dare to think about it.
"You don't have to worry about me. I still have a Dou Huang-level puppet in my hand, and I have a lot of other puppets, but they are almost useless. It's just right to give them to you, and you can make use of their value, so I don't have to keep them to gather dust."
Chen Guan said with disdain.
Knowing what he meant, the Little Fairy Doctor gave him a helpless smile and made up her mind to give up completely immediately, not caring about how much she owed. She accepted the gift calmly and left her soul mark under the boy's guidance.
After the serious matters were explained, the atmosphere gradually became relaxed as both of them tried hard to maintain it. The little girl who was eating with her mouth full of oil was teased repeatedly and played the role of the funny one.
There had probably never been such laughter and joy in this clinic. Even Manager Chang, who was passing by, heard the noise and couldn't help but think of his wife and children at home.
They chatted happily, and time passed quickly. When the boy took the girl away, it was already midnight.
"Master, I also want to prepare a gift for Sister Xiao Yi Xian and give it to her tomorrow."
Holding the young man's big hand, Qing Lin expressed her inner thoughts, feeling a little conflicted. She seemed to be considering what to give, something she could afford and that would express her feelings.
"Sure, just give it to her next time."
Chen Guan chuckled to show his support, but in his heart, he sighed that it would probably be a long time before the next time.
The little girl didn't understand the hidden meaning and went on thinking happily without saying a word along the way.
A new day, early morning.
Chen Guan was practicing in the room when suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door.
After getting a response, the little girl hurried in with a letter in her left hand and a small wooden sculpture of a two-headed snake in her right hand.
"Master, Sister Xiao Yi Xian left a letter and left. I haven't even given her a gift yet!"
