Xin Lin hooked the corner of her lips, explaining unhurriedly.
"I know her na is Zhenzhu because Silly Chu ntioned her before. Zhenzhu is an evil servant raised by Chu Miaoyun, and she bullied Chu Yuan together with him before. As for that gang of local ruffians, the night I saved Silly Chu, they were loitering around that alley. You said last night that Rascal Corpse taught them a lesson, and the leader of that gang had his leg broken, so he’ll definitely co to demand money, which the Imperial Doctor Mansion would never acknowledge. It’s dog-eat-dog; one action leads to another, and naturally, they bumped into each other."
Little Xinlin listened, confused; he never imagined that there would be so much intrigue involved.
"Ah Zhuo, the human heart is treacherous. You may think Sister is not a good person, but in this world, to deal with evil people, you must be smarter than them. To save soone, you must first save yourself."
Xin Lin spoke earnestly and sincerely.
Little Xinzhuo’s eyes shone; this ti, he understood.
"Sister, I understand. But those local ruffians aren’t good people either. We might as well follow them, perhaps we can find Brother Corpse King."
Little Xinzhuo rembered that it was those n who wanted to bully him last night.
"What kind of temperant is Rascal Corpse, he’s too lazy to even lift a finger, let alone make a move—unless this gang went looking for trouble with him. Otherwise, he will no longer pay attention to these people."
Xin Lin was also puzzled—how had that gang offended Rascal Corpse so much? Was it just because Little Xinlin had been bullied?
"Sister, why don’t we go out again tonight to look for Brother?"
Little Xinzhuo scratched his head.
"Let’s think of sothing after tonight. I won’t hide from you that I wasn’t just overexerting myself in my practice last night, but rather the Fu Xi’s Energy in my body was out of control. If we don’t find a solution, it’s bound to happen again tonight, and this ti, I’m not sure if I will be able to survive it."
Xin Lin smiled wryly.
Little Xinzhuo turned pale with fright.
"Sister, what can we do then? I don’t want Sister to die."
Little Xinzhuo wished he could take on so of Xin Lin’s suffering himself.
"We’ll first go to the Alchemy Hall to inquire if there are any thods."
Xin Lin was unfamiliar with life in Purple Cloud City; the only person she knew a little was Jiang Qing from Purple Cloud Alchemy Hall.
He seed to be knowledgeable; perhaps he could help her.
Not long after Xin Lin and Little Xinzhuo left, those several local ruffians ca out.
"I’m so frustrated we can’t touch anyone from the Imperial Doctor Mansion."
"Bla that kid; if I run into him again, I will take his life."
"You make it sound so easy; who was it that was so scared last night? Even together, we were no match for the opponent."
"We may be no match, but there are always others who can handle him. Have you forgotten? Our boss’s sister is married to the Vice Gang Leader of the Water Wraith Gang. That Vice Gang Leader is a powerful Fifth Rank Xuanwu Practitioner."
The local ruffians perked up at the news.
No matter how strong that pretty boy was, he couldn’t possibly be a match for a high-ranking Xuanwu Practitioner.
After discussing, they decided to seek that person from the Water Wraith Gang. As long as he was willing to step in, that kid would be easy to catch and beg for rcy.
Xin Lin and Little Xinzhuo arrived at the Alchemy Hall.
"Xin, it’s good to see you again."
Jiang Qing greeted Xin Lin with a warm smile after hearing she had co; for so reason, he got along quite well with Xin Lin.
"Shopkeeper, I have a friend whose True Qi is out of control, suffering unbearably every night. Do you know of any dicine that could provide thorough relief for her condition?"
Xin Lin got straight to the point, stating her intention.
