Chapter 16
When Jian Xi got the two eight characters, her fingers moved a few more times.
Her eyebrows were twisted tighter and tighter, and finally her red lips were pressed into a straight line as she closed her eyes.
Too outrageous!
Her brother's parents' deaths were not an accident, but were deliberately murdered, and the person who cursed Grandfather was actually the same person who killed his parents. The eight characters could only reveal that this person was someone close to them but not a blood relative.
Jian Xi was angry.
She quickly came to He Qingchen's side and reached out to untie the red rope around his neck.
He Qingchen realized what she was trying to do. He put his arm around her waist and pressed the hand that was trying to untie the rope, shaking his head, "I'll deal with that person myself. He won't be able to make trouble for long. Let Grandfather wake up first, be good!"
Jian Xi was still clearly unwilling. "Brother! He has bullied you so much, and killed your parents and plotted against Grandfather. How can I not do anything? Give me the Five Emperors' coin and let me see who it is. I will get rid of him!"
He Qingchen had never seen her so angry before. He tightened his arm around her waist and held her in his arms, gently patting her back. "I'll do it myself. I won't let you get involved. I'll tell you everything you want to know when we get home tonight."
He was reluctant to let her use the Celestial Eye to find out about that scumbag.
Because he had seen her exhausted state after using the Celestial Eye, and that pale little face!
Yes, the Celestial Eye was an existence that defied the heavens, but it could not be opened whenever one wanted. Using the Celestial Eye consumed Jian Xi's mental and vital energy!
Master Xuan Yi had warned Jian Xi many times not to open her Celestial Eye unless absolutely necessary!
So, the Five Emperors' coin that Jian Xi wore around He Qingchen's neck was arguably the most useless thing Jian Xi had, but it could also be said to be the most important thing to Jian Xi!
Jian Xi closed her eyes for a while to calm herself down. When she opened them again, she had already cooled down.
She thought, what kind of person was her brother? He must already have a plan. She couldn't ruin his plans just because she was angry.
Coming out of He Qingchen's arms, she said to him, "I sensed Master's talisman. The one you got from Master when you went down the mountain, right? Fortunately there were those two talismans, which suppressed the parasite's ability to feed, so Grandfather's soul and vitality have not been damaged yet. That will make it much easier for me to remove the parasite later."
"What can I do?" He Qingchen asked.
Jian Xi took a step back and clutched her little purse. "You don't have to do anything. Just watch." If you try to help, I'll have my hands full!
He Qingchen rubbed his nose and leaned very cooperatively against the table next to him, taking on an "I won't go near" look.
Watching the two interact, Shen Xiaoheng was puzzled. Why was Jian Xi so reluctant when He Qingchen offered to help? There must be some embarrassing story about He Qingchen in the past. When he got more familiar with Jian Xi in the future, he would definitely ask about it. That way, chasing after He Qingchen's sister would be easier!
While he was happily plotting, he heard Jian Xi calling him. "Dr. Shen, please help me take Old Master's clothes off and roll his pants up to his knees. Thank you."
He was closest to the bed, so Jian Xi called him instead of calling He Qingchen over.
While Shen Xiaoheng was undressing Old Master, Jian Xi sterilized the silver needles.
After Old Master's clothes were taken off, Jian Xi held five needles between her fingers. Seeing the withered old man on the bed, a hint of distress flashed through her eyes.
In the blink of an eye, five silver needles had been inserted into the old man's body, on both hands and feet, and the last one sealed on top of his head.
Jian Xi lifted Old Master's chin to make him open his mouth wide. She took another silver needle from her cloth bag and inserted it into her middle finger.
Leaning against the table on the side, He Qingchen's brow furrowed as he stared at the drop of blood on the tip of Jian Xi's finger, his eyes gradually turning icy cold.
He didn't watch Jian Xi save his grandfather anymore, but took out his phone and sent out a message.
With He Qingchen's head lowered, Jian Xi let the blood from her finger drip into the old man's mouth, then dabbed a little on the corner of his lips.
Then she quickly drew out a talisman and closed her eyes to wait quietly.
One minute passed, then two minutes, until almost five minutes had passed when Jian Xi suddenly opened her eyes.
She flicked the talisman paper towards the old man's mouth.
Shen Xiaoheng's eyes widened in surprise. The talisman paper Jian Xi had thrown out didn't stick to the old man's mouth, but still remained a considerable distance away, hovering in midair.
Just as he was shocked by this sight, he heard Jian Xi mumble something. Then the talisman paper burst into blue flames on its own, without any visible source. The flames burned out completely without leaving behind any ashes!
Her series of actions left Shen Xiaoheng quite baffled. This was his first encounter with such things, so he was very curious indeed!
He couldn't help but blurt out the thoughts in his mind: "That's it?"
Jian Xi nodded as she started removing the needles from Old Master's body. "Yes, it's done. The rest will need Dr. Shen's help now. I'll give you a prescription later. If you follow it and give him the medicine on time every day, Grandfather can fully recover in two months!"
Recover fully in two months? Shen Xiaoheng looked at the emaciated old man on the bed, lost in thought.
When he snapped out of it and was about to ask Jian Xi when Old Master would wake up, she had already been pulled over to the sofa across the room by He Qingchen.
He could only put Old Master's clothes back on for now and wait to ask later!
