Chapter 383: Do You Think We Can’t Befriend Tang Li?
After they walked over, Situ Jin said to Qiqi and Linlin, “There are books and snacks in the side hall. You can go in first.”
Qiqi and Linlin nodded at the same time and went in first.
Situ Jin then said to Tang Li, “Congratulations on opening your company.”
He did not say anything about Situ Lei and praised, “You did a good job advertising.”
Tang Li smiled and nodded. “Thank you.”!!
Then, she asked, “How do you feel after taking the new medicine?”
“My strength is coming back. Recently, other than coughing once or twice at night, I don’t cough at all.”
These words made Situ Huang a little excited. “Tang Li, does this mean that Jin is about to recover?”
“Yes.” Tang Li said to Situ Jin, “I’ll give you three more acupuncture treatments. After that, you’ll have to take a herb bath every day for the first ten days. After that, you’ll have to take one every two or three days.”
“How about the medicine?”
“I’ll prescribe you a new medicine to nourish your body.”
Situ Huang laughed happily.
Situ Jin smiled as well.
Only Qin Mingyue remained calm.
Tang Li brought Qin Mingyue to the herb room.
Situ Huang said to Situ Jin, “Tang Li is someone we must befriend. We still need her help in the future.”
Situ Jin looked at Situ Huang with a strange expression and asked, “Father, do you really think we can befriend someone like Tang Li?”
Situ Huang did not quite understand what he meant. “Why not? You and Fourth Master are friends, and Tang Li has treated you for so long. We can be considered friends.”
Situ Jin shook his head and stopped talking. He walked towards the living room.
Situ Huang frowned and followed him in. He asked, “Do you think we can’t befriend Tang Li?”
“Yes, we can, but… it’s a little expensive.”
…
After Tang Li and Qin Mingyue walked into the herb room, Qin Mingyue asked Tang Li, “Miss Tang, after three more rounds of acupuncture, will the poison in Situ Jin’s body be completely removed?”
“Yes.” Tang Li told her, “The poison has been with him for more than twenty years. Even if it is removed, he still needs to recuperate.”
“Then… will he be able to do anything in the future? Including having babies.”
Tang Li looked at her face.
Qin Mingyue didn’t look away.
Tang Li nodded after a few seconds. “Yes.”
With that, she went to prepare the herbs.
Qin Mingyue stood there with her eyes lowered. No one knew what she was thinking. After a long while, she went to help.
After putting the herbs in the pot to let it cook, Tang Li asked Qin Mingyue to make a pot of tea. She sat on the chair and drank tea while playing with her phone.
Every time she turned on her phone, she would be shocked to see 99+ chats in the Mystic Society group. Today was no exception. Everyone was discussing where strange things had happened and where the disasters did not look like natural disasters.
At this moment, Xuan He said, “The Mystic Society in Jiangnan asked us for help. They said that something strange has happened there. In the past few years, people have been dying in a village, and no children have been born again. People in that village don’t dare to go out. Once they go out, they die. When the people outside go in, they will also fall seriously ill.”
Xu Guanhai said, “It sounds like some kind of a monster is causing trouble. Isn’t there a very powerful Taoist priest over there? Why don’t they ask him to deal with the monster?”
Xuan He, “Even Taoist priest Youfang is helpless, so he asked us for help. I’ve already promised him that I will send two people over to investigate. Which one of you want to go?”
The group suddenly went quiet.
Tang Li remembered that she was going to Jiangnan to help Butler Yang find his sister, so she asked, “When are you going?”
After Qi Hao and Tan Wenjing got married, she had time to go and take a look.
Because of Tang Li, the group was immediately flooded with messages.
Xuan He said, “I promised to send someone over as soon as possible. If Master Tang wants to go, we can reschedule the time.”
Xu Guanhai, “Yes, if Master Tang goes, I’ll go too.”
Yu Zhitang, “Yes, if Master Tang goes, I’ll go too.”
Zhao Guangyi, “Yes, if Master Tang goes, I’ll go too.”
…
Looking at the replies, Tang Li was speechless.
She waited for everyone to finish talking before saying, “I happen to have something to do in Jiangnan. I’m just asking. I might not accept this business. Besides, what can they give me?”
….
The group instantly fell silent again.
However, the Mystic Society was discussing it enthusiastically in private.
“Looks like Master Tang likes money.”
“Why don’t we bring the price higher? Maybe she’ll be willing to go with us.”
“How high? Who will pay for it?”
“There are so many of us. If each of us pays a portion, we’ll be able to afford Master Tang.”
“That makes sense, but if I paid, I need to go.”
“You make it sound like I’m not paying. I’ll pay the most. When the time comes, I’ll go with Master Tang.”
“No, none of you have to pay. I’ll cover the expense and I’ll go with Master Tang…”
…
Tang Li looked at the suddenly quiet group and was at a loss as to what happened.
the group chat and put away her phone. When she looked up, she saw Qin Mingyue sitting at the side, looking at her as if she had something to ask her.
Tang Li said, “Other than your and Situ Jin’s fate, you can ask me one or two questions.”
Qin Mingyue heaved a sigh of relief and quickly sat up straight. “Miss Tang, I want to go to the tomb.”
Tang Li looked at her face for a few seconds, but she did not answer. Instead, she picked up the teacup and drank the tea.
Qin Mingyue continued, “I want to see if there is really an Elixir of Immortality in that tomb.”
“Do you want to live forever?” Tang Li asked.
“No.” Qin Mingyue lowered her eyes, her expression calm. “I want Situ Jin to live forever.”
Tang Li was silent for a few seconds before saying, “Qin Mingyue, you’re really something.”
“Am I?” Qin Mingyue didn’t think so. “I think Situ Jin will definitely want to live forever.”
Tang Li shook her head and said, “As long as you don’t regret it.”
“I won’t regret it.” Qin Mingyue looked determined. “From the moment I decided to be with him, I never thought that I would regret it.”
Tang Li nodded and did not give her any opinion.
Qin Mingyue was obviously not asking Tang Li. She just wanted to find someone to talk to. “I promised Sangsang that I would fulfill her wish.”
Tang Li looked at the tea leaves floating in the teacup and said, “The reason why there are so many resentful and heartbroken girls in this world is because they always do something they feel is right and then force it on the person they like. When the person doesn’t respond to them the way they expected, they feel hatred and resentment.”
Qin Mingyue was stunned. After a long while, she said, “Miss Tang, you don’t understand.”
“Pfft!”
