"Chuxi, are you okay? I heard you fell into the water. What the hell's been going on? How can you be so careless? If not for Yumei and the others passing by, the consequences would be dire!"
A girl ran from the door to the bedside, holding Ling Chuxi's hand with attention while saying words containing a slight error in haste. His tone however, was attentive.
"I'm fine." Ling Chuxi pulled her hand quietly.
He was not used to being close to strangers. While speaking, Ling Chuxi assessed the girl in front of him.
Looks like a twenty-year-old with beauty, a pair of soft big eyes and small cherry lips. Without a doubt, this is beauty.
"You really scared me to death. When I heard that you fell into the water, my heart almost stopped beating. Thankfully nothing happened to you. How can you be so careless? If something happens to you, how can I explain it to your older brother?"
Qin Xiruo lightly sighed and spoke angrily.
"I did not fall into the water but rather was pushed into the water by Qin Yumei. He was worried that I would drown and the Ling family would investigate so he saved me. Otherwise, what you see now is just a corpse."
Ling Chuxi looked at the girl in front of him with indifference and spoke in a cold tone.
It seemed that the reason Qin Xiruo took care of her was her brother who had immediately disappeared from her memory. He liked Ling Chuxi's older brother, Ling Wushang.
Before Ling Wushang left, he had asked Qin Xiruo to look after his younger sister. It seemed that Qin Xiruo was worried about Ling Chuxi a lot, but... Ling Chuxi silently complained in her heart.
How old was Ling Wushang when he left? Qin Xiruo had actually liked him so far over the years. How strange.
The air in the room became quiet. Qin Xiruo's expression froze. His mouth was slightly gaping and he looked at Ling Chuxi as if he did not believe Ling Chuxi would say such a thing.
Aunt Wang was so angry that she shouted.
"Miss! Really it? Qin Yumei actually pushed you into the water. He bullied you because you were an orphan, bluffing because there was no one in the Ling family!"
'Aunt Wang, I give thirty-two likes in my heart.' A faint joy appeared in Ling Chuxi's eyes. This sentence is spoken very accurately!
Qin Yumei bullying Ling Chuxi was not something that happened overnight. Does Qin Xiruo not know? Ling Chuxi did not believe it.
"How is that possible? How could Yumei do such a thing?" Qin Xiruo's face changed.
Her pretty face was filled with shock and disbelief, she shook her head and said.
"Chuxi, could it be that you saw it wrong? Or are you surprised and that's why you remember it wrong?"
"Sister Xiruo." Ling Chuxi suddenly laughed and lightly called out to him.
"Yes?" Qin Xiruo replied, subconsciously smiling. However, in the next moment, the smile froze.
"Sister Xiruo, do you think I'm stupid or blind?" Ling Chuxi tilted her head, her tone naive.
The smile on Qin Xiruo's face froze and she paled slightly. "Chuxi, you. What are you saying?"
"Am I stupid or blind? Can't I tell if I fell into the water myself or if someone pushed me?"
The smile on Ling Chuxi's face disappeared, leaving behind a chill and ridicule.
"Sister Xiruo, I'm not feeling well right now. Please go first, I want to rest."
Qin Xiruo's face was extremely pale. He looked at Ling Chuxi with shock and uneasiness, not daring to believe these kind of words spoken by Ling Chuxi at all.
Wasn't Ling Chuxi a cowardly and impressionable person? Why did he become so sharp today?
Qin Xiruo hesitated for a moment, as if she was going to say something, but she saw Ling Chuxi's cold expression and finally decided to leave quietly without saying a word.
Ling Chuxi glanced at the door and lay down once more. His head hurt a lot and this memory caused his head to hurt even more. It was because he knew that the situation he was about to face was extremely complicated.
"Miss, Miss, are you okay?" Aunt Wang came at this moment, her tone full of anger.
"Miss, Qin Yumei was actually very vile. We must tell the Second Elder, let the Second Elder decide the matter."
"Enough. I'm hungry, make me something to eat first." Ling Chuxi rubbed her stomach and said calmly.
"Give me a cup of hot water first."
"Ah, yes, Miss." Aunt Wang quickly brought Ling Chuxi a cup of hot water and served her while waiting for her to finish it.”
"Miss, you, the way you talked to Miss Xiruo, isn't that a little inappropriate?" Aunt Wang hesitated, before finally asking with a stutter.
This is because Miss Qin Xiruo is always worried about Miss, and Miss always listens to Miss Xiruo. He had never opposed her words, let alone used such a sarcastic tone to retaliate.
Nonetheless, thinking of how Miss was bullied by Qin Yumei, Aunt Wang felt she could figure it out. Miss must have turned her anger on Miss Qin Xiruo.
"Aunt Wang, who am I to you?" Ling Chuxi did not answer Aunt Wang's question but instead spewed out such a sentence. His face contained no trace of a smile, only firmness.
"Of course you are Nonaku. The only person I follow." Right now Aunt Wang also lost all of her smiles, replying resolutely.
"Remember, don't believe what appears on the surface. You have to believe only in what I say. Qin Ruoxi was not as good as she seemed, and clearly did not care for me as you saw."
Ling Chuxi had arrived in this world, and had no choice but to accept this miserable identity and chaotic circumstances. The only silver lining was that there was at least still someone who sincerely treated him well.
The first one was this Aunt Wang. It seemed like she was accidentally saved by her mother and she decided to retaliate and take care of her as gratitude. Second person...
"Yes, Miss!" Aunt Wang nodded excitedly but her face quickly changed.
"Miss, what did you say earlier, what do you mean? Don't tell me Miss Qin Xiruo bullied you too? Then we should definitely go and meet the Second Elder and let him decide this!"
Ling Chuxi lightly shook her head. "We have caused quite a lot of trouble for the Second Elder. This time, there was no need to bother him. I know how to handle it."
Other than Aunt Wang, the only other person in the clan who treated him with sincere kindness was the Second Elder.
Aunt Wang bit her lips, her face full of unwillingness. Miss must have always been bullied but she herself never even noticed it.
This time, it must be because the bullying was too cruel that Miss could no longer hold it back. 'It's my fault.' The more Aunt Wang thought about it, the more unhappy and upset she felt in her heart.
"Enough Aunt Wang. Go and prepare food. I'm hungry." Ling Chuxi rubbed her rumbling stomach and said with pursed lips.
For a foodie to starve, it is an earth-shattering problem. To him, it was more unbearable than the falling sky.
"Yes, yes, Miss. I'll go and prepare some food." Aunt Wang said hurriedly as she could also hear Ling Chuxi's stomach rumbling.
After Aunt Wang left, Ling Chuxi began to check her own pulse. After checking his pulse, his expression changed subtly. His current 'amazing' appearance was indeed the result of a person's poisoning.
Although it was not a life-threatening poison, it had long been hidden within the body. Now his face and body will have small red pimples, and will eventually swell.
Carrying a pig-headed face every day, it was only natural that she was disliked and would naturally be called an ugly girl.
The poison in his body was not a powerful poison, just picking a few ordinary herbs and drinking them was enough to eliminate the poison. However, who would want to poison an orphan girl?
Such a wicked act, for what? There's nothing in him that's worth coveting, is there?
Ling Chuxi's brain sifted through all the useful information and finally found that there was no suspect, nor did anyone have any reason to poison him.
The food made by Aunt Wang is still fine. But for culinary lovers like Ling Chuxi, what does this vegetable table mean?! The so-called meat soup had droplets of oil floating on it?
This food was so bland that Ling Chuxi who would never be happy without meat almost bit her own tongue. There is no meat.
There is not a bit of meat! Ling Chuxi was flipping food inside her bowl. Not to mention a piece of meat, there was not even an ounce of minced meat.
It was a great torture for him. Ling Chuxi stabbed her rice with a face full of sadness. So much so that Aunt Wang who was watching couldn't stand it.
"Miss, is today's dish not to your liking?" Aunt Wang asked, a little agitated.
"No, no, this is pretty good." Ling Chuxi shook her head continuously, speaking insincerely. Really harming yourself.
Due to the acne on his face, Ling Chuxi had previously listened to the words of the second elder, eating less greasy food, so each meal contained only vegetables and tofu blossoms.
This is the tragedy of the moment. Really want to eat meat, really want to eat meat ah... Ling Chuxi's eyes almost glowed green.
"Miss, Second Elder will be back tomorrow." Aunt Wang said as she attentively pushed a plate of Chinese cabbage in front of Ling Chuxi.
"alright. You don't need to tell the Second Elder about the matter today. I know how to talk about it."
Ling Chuxi bitterly swallowed a mouthful of Chinese cabbage, her heart silently weeping as she pondered when the time was right to change her food-related situation.
"No, it's not that. Miss, did you forget? The Second Elder said he would check your cultivation when he returned." Aunt Wang said weakly, looking at Ling Chuxi with a very complicated gaze.
Ling Chuxi's chopsticks paused for a moment. He suddenly remembered. This was a world where cultivation was practiced, it was only natural that everyone wanted to practice martial arts. And the martial practitioners were distinguished very clearly.
Innate talent, this thing, was not something that everyone possessed, and not only with innate talent one could move forward by leaps and bounds. Ling Chuxi's original talent was bad, very bad.
Initially, he did not even plan to become a practitioner. However, the second elder who cared for him taught him meticulously, hoping that one day he could succeed.
This time, before the second elder left, he said that he would check his cultivation when he returned. It's macabre.
In this world, there was no magic, and it was not just about Against Qi, but Battle Qi. The Ling Chuxi from before who had worked so hard had only managed to enter the intermediate stage of the first level Battle Qi.
The Battle Qi Practitioners were divided into nine levels, and each level was further divided into Primary, Intermediate, Advanced, and Peak stages. Ling Chuxi's abilities were truly terrifying.
This explained why Aunt Wang's gaze was so complicated. Ling Chuxi, is not just trash, but really trash!
Even that arrogant Qin Yumei was already at the Level-3 Battle Qi Main stage.
"Yes, I know. We'll talk about it later." Ling Chuxi calmly replied and continued to eat some vegetable mouthfuls.
But his mind, flipping through his memories to find a way to change the food he ate during the meal.
