"Did you do it on purpose just now?"
Hearing Ye Lianyi's question, Liu Zixuan chuckled, "Which thing are you referring to?"
"When Sixth Elder slapped , you could have stopped her, but you didn't. It's not that you couldn't stop her; you deliberately let her slap . Am I right?" Ye Lianyi said word by word.
Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow, "If I did it on purpose, would you bla ?"
"No, I thank you. It was Sixth Elder's slap that woke up and made realize many things!"
Ye Lianyi took a deep breath. Liu Zixuan's elixir had already taken effect, and with her own cultivation technique, those toxins had long since dispersed.
She then gave a slight bow to Liu Zixuan, "Thank you, and my apologies to Manager Xiang and Miss Bai. I, Ye Lianyi, will rember this favor, and if I get the chance, I will definitely repay you!"
"Repay?" Liu Zixuan smiled aningfully, "This was a life-saving grace, you know. To put it seriously, you might have to repay with your life. Are you sure you want to repay?"
"I can't repay with my life, but I will definitely find another way to repay you." Ye Lianyi mumbled with a flushed face.
"You know, the word I trust the least is 'definitely'!"
"Why?"
"If I asked you to give the Ghost Gate Needle in your hand right now, would you?" Liu Zixuan asked.
"I…" Ye Lianyi was at a loss for words. That Ghost Gate Needle was related to a bigger secret of hers, so she really couldn't easily give it to Liu Zixuan.
Liu Zixuan shrugged slightly, "So, from now on, don't say the word 'definitely' when you're not sure, or you might end up slapping yourself in the face."
Saying that, he turned his head to look at Xiangyang and Bai Jingjing, "How are you both doing now?"
Xiangyang rubbed his sore head, "A bit confused. Luckily, you warned us before, otherwise, without any preparation, I'd have thought I was really going to die!"
Bai Jingjing glanced at Ye Lianyi, then smiled, "It's all right now, but in the future, we should avoid coming to the dical Immortal Sect too frequently to avoid getting poisoned again unexpectedly!"
Liu Zixuan grimaced with a wry smile, then said, "We've finished talking about the cooperation. Manager Xiang, you can call soone to transport those herbs. Let's go. I think Miss Lianyi still has many things to do!"
Xiangyang and Bai Jingjing didn't say anything and followed Liu Zixuan outside.
As they reached the entrance of the dical Immortal Sect's area, Ye Lianyi suddenly called out to Liu Zixuan.
Liu Zixuan stopped in his tracks and turned around to ask, "Is there anything else?"
"At the beginning of next month, the Willow Association will hold that major event. After that, I'll give you the Ghost Gate Needle." Ye Lianyi said softly, revealing a bit of her teeth.
Liu Zixuan's eyes flickered, "Okay."
"Also, you're always welco at the dical Immortal Sect." After speaking, Ye Lianyi turned and walked back into the dical Immortal Sect.
Her words had another aning. Regardless of Liu Zixuan saving her, just based on their cooperation, Liu Zixuan could casually visit. But Ye Lianyi still said he was always welco, which implied, the Pill Pavilion!
The Pill Pavilion was a forbidden area of the dical Immortal Sect. Only the Sect Leader, Ye Lianyi, and Liu Zixuan knew what it was like inside. Ye Lianyi could also tell Liu Zixuan was very curious about the Pill Pavilion, so her words implied that Liu Zixuan could visit the Pill Pavilion in the future.
Watching Ye Lianyi's departing figure, Liu Zixuan fell into silence, but then a wave of pain swept across his body from his waist.
"Liu Zixuan, you should change your na to 'Rogue!' She's been gone for ages, and you're still staring after her. Why don't we go back ourselves, and you can go to the dical Immortal Sect to find her!" Bai Jingjing exclaid wordlessly with jealousy.
Liu Zixuan gave an awkward smile, "I wasn't staring at her."
"If not her, then what were you looking at?"
"Looking at mountains, water, and beautiful legs!" Liu Zixuan teased with a smile and ran straight into the car.
Bai Jingjing stomped angrily, "When we get back to the city, we'll settle accounts with you!"
Xiangyang drove away in his car, while Liu Zixuan and Bai Jingjing leisurely headed towards the city in his Jeep, admiring the scenery along the way.
After a while, Bai Jingjing asked, "Just now, when Ye Lianyi said you could have stopped Sixth Elder from hitting her but didn't to teach her a lesson, did you do it on purpose?"
Liu Zixuan smirked, "Do you think it was on purpose or intentional?"
"It must have been on purpose, to help Ye Lianyi mature a bit and avoid being deceived by those elders again," Bai Jingjing shrugged her shoulders.
"Then you all think I'm a good guy." Liu Zixuan laughed playfully, "I purely did it to show off, to reveal my heroic nature. If I stepped in after one slap, I'd seem weak. If I wait until they're about to kill Ye Lianyi to act, doesn't it make seem more impressive? More grand?"
"Sigh…" Liu Zixuan sighed at the end of the sentence.
Bai Jingjing asked puzzled, "Why are you sighing?"
"Isn't the conclusion of a hero saving a beauty always that the beauty reciprocates? I just put on such a tough performance and Ye Lianyi didn't reciprocate, I feel it's a loss!"
Liu Zixuan shook his head, "Fairy tales are all lies!"
Bai Jingjing imdiately had a few black lines appear on her forehead, scolding, "Can you put sothing serious in your brain?"
"My mind is full of you; is that serious?" Liu Zixuan asked.
"I…" Bai Jingjing was instantly at a loss for words without any retort. She took a pause and changed the topic, "By the way, I rember hearing at the Jiang Family that even the best doctors can't completely beco immune to poison."
"You gave us elixirs just now, but you didn't take any yourself. Weren't you afraid of the poison?"
Liu Zixuan signaled to turn and drove onto the city avenue, boasting with a smile, "Soone as cool as is impervious to weapons and immune to all poisons wherever I go!"
"Liu Zixuan! I'm not joking!" Bai Jingjing exclaid!
Liu Zixuan pouted, "Why so mad? I was just trying to make you happy. My self-cultivated dical skills allow to detoxify many poisons, and more importantly, my physique is almost immune to all poisons."
"Physique? But my physique is special too. Why can't I?"
Bai Jingjing asked.
Liu Zixuan scratched his head, about to answer, when his phone rang urgently. He glanced at the na, "Did this kid figure out we were coming back?"
He casually answered, "Great Immortal Gu, did you figure out so celestial secret?"
"Brother Xuan, help !" Gu Yu's voice ca pleading from the other end.
Liu Zixuan's expression instantly beca serious, "What happened?"
"The lingerie shop on Guyang Avenue in Tianchen City, co quick… beep beep…" Gu Yu's words were cut off as the call was disconnected.
