Zhao Shuning stopped.
Damn these details.
"You're her, right?"
The Viper tightly covered the wound that was oozing blood with his right hand, looking at Zhao Shuning with hope in his eyes.
Zhao Shuning didn't move.
She didn't know how to answer.
If she admitted it, then in the future, what kind of relationship would she have with Xie An?
Xie An admired her so much. If he knew that Zhao Shuning was the "Fairy", would he be disappointed?
"You don't need to deny it. I can feel it."
"Xiao An."
"Actually, I'm really stupid. You were always by my side before, but I didn't notice at all."
"I'm really glad I came here. I didn't disappoint you, did I?"
There seemed to be a query in the Viper's eyes.
In his eyes, Zhao Shuning saw full of expectation.
Zhao Shuning smiled.
"How did you know I'm her?"
She took out the jade token from her Qiankun Pouch and said, "At first, I wanted to give this jade token to a woman I knew. I thought she should fit the image of the fairy in your heart. She's gentle, noble, talented and kind to others. I never told you my identity because I wanted to give this jade token to her."
Zhao Shuning appeared in front of the Viper as an alchemist, so the woman she wanted to give the jade token to was naturally Xia Wanning.
It was just that during this meeting, Zhao Shuning found that Xia Wanning might no longer be the innocent little girl in her memory, so she didn't give the jade token to her.
The Viper smiled lightly and said, "No. If that person wasn't you, I would recognize it at a glance."
"How are you so sure it's me?"
Zhao Shuning also smiled back.
The Viper said, "Maybe it was the habitual movements you made when you used the alchemist's mental method in the air before. They were very similar to hers. I thought at that time that maybe I was overthinking. It was not until just now when you called me Xiao An that I knew it wasn't my illusion."
Since knowing that Zhao Shuning was the "Fairy" back then, the Viper's attitude towards Zhao Shuning had changed a lot.
It could even be described as respectful.
"Senior, you haven't answered my question yet."
Zhao Shuning smiled sweetly and said, "You didn't disappoint me."
Because of this sentence, the smile on the Viper's face grew broader, and even his eyes curved.
"That's good."
The Viper just stared at Zhao Shuning quietly.
Even he himself didn't know how long he had been looking.
Now, Zhao Shuning fit all his imaginations of a fairy.
He never thought that after so many years, their reunion would be like this.
Xie An was so captivated by looking at Zhao Shuning that he didn't come to his senses until Zhao Shuning reminded him, "Xiao An, do you still remember what you said about me back then?"
The Viper came back to his senses and quickly said, "What?"
Zhao Shuning smiled and said, "You said I was a wild country woman."
The Viper's face flushed instantly, and he lowered his head uneasily.
"I, I didn't know back then that you were her. I'm sorry. I was a bit impolite to you back then, but, but I, I definitely had no ill intentions towards you."
"Why are you stuttering? You didn't do anything wrong. I don't blame you."
"I, I don't know either."
"Let's go in. Your wound needs to be properly treated."
"Okay."
The Viper quickly made a gesture of invitation, insisting that Zhao Shuning go in first before he followed.
Looking at Zhao Shuning's back, the Viper's smile unconsciously appeared on his face again.
It turned out that the fairy had always been very close to him.
After Zhao Shuning went in, Xie Yu and Zhao Xiangxiang had already taken their seats and were thinking about what to eat today. There was not much food left in the granary.
Seeing Zhao Shuning and the Viper, Xie Yu said, "You're here. Viper, don't you dare bully my boss."
In the past, the Viper would always give Xie Yu a cold look, but today, he just blushed badly.
"Viper, what's wrong with you?"
Xie Yu also noticed the Viper's abnormality and quickly stood up, saying anxiously, "Xie An, what's going on with you? Why is your face so red? Did your wound relapse and cause a fever? Come here. Let me take a look at you."
Seeing that the Viper didn't come over, Xie Yu walked over and was about to reach out to touch Xie An's forehead.
"Xie Yu, what are you doing!"
The Viper growled in a low voice and knocked off the hand that Xie Yu had reached out.
Then he said, "I'm fine."
"How can you be fine? Look at your face. It's as red as a monkey's butt. You must have a fever."
The Viper glared at Xie Yu.
Xie Yu felt even more confused.
He was just concerned about his younger brother. Why was he being resented?
"I have something to do. I'll go back to my room first."
"Okay."
When the Viper passed by Zhao Shuning, he stopped again, lowered his head and said, "I, I'll go back to my room first. If you, if you have something to do, just, just come and find me."
Zhao Shuning smiled and said, "Okay."
Then, the Viper lowered his head and gently walked around Zhao Shuning.
This scene left everyone confused.
What was wrong with the Viper? Had he burned his brain out?
His actions today were really abnormal.
"Boss, what did Xie An say to you just now?"
Zhao Shuning sat down, poured herself a glass of water and then replied, "It's nothing. We just talked about some things in the past."
"It's really strange. I think Xie An looks as if something earth - shattering has happened."
"Really?"
"Yes. Look, his left scapula is so badly injured. I don't know if he can still keep his left hand or if he can still form seals and use the mental method in the future. But just now, he actually smiled and looked so happy."
"Maybe he saw an old acquaintance."
Xie Yu was about to say something else.
Zhao Shuning asked, "Zhao Xiangxiang, how serious is Grandpa's injury?"
"Grandpa hasn't been able to get out of bed for the past few days."
"I gave Grandpa the Bone - Relaxing Powder Pill. When Grandpa wakes up later, I'll use my spiritual power to detect his body structure. I'll prepare enough Hemostasis Powder. At that time, Grandpa's bones may need to be recombined."
"Everything depends on you."
"Okay."
"What about the food recently?"
"It's okay. Judging from the time, my father should be here soon."
Just as she finished speaking, Zhao Zheng's voice came from outside.
These days, the disciples of Shuiyun Sheng probably haven't eaten well. Now that fresh fruits and vegetables are being transported here, their lives can be fully improved in a short period of time.
After dinner.
The Zhao family sat around the stone table.
Zhao Xue said, "Shuning, you're not leaving this time when you come back, right?"
"For the time being, I won't leave."
Even if she wanted to leave, she had to deal with the big mess of the Wang family first.
"By the way, I heard that you... dealt with the Wang family's young lady?"
"Yes."
Everyone fell into silence.
Zhao Shuning added, "I think I'll set off for the Wang family tomorrow."
"Ah?"
"Even if I don't go looking for them, they will definitely come looking for me. Since that's the case, while this matter hasn't reached their ears yet, I'll take this opportunity to take the Wang family's life - line."
