Si Xin Xin suddenly remembered the purpose of this trip and affectionately reached out to hold Feng Ning He's hand.
"Pretty sister, Father has prepared everything. Let's go quickly. After the treatment, Pretty sister must play with me!"
The crisp female voice was exceptionally tender.
Feng Ning He agreed without hesitation.
She also let Xin Xin hold her hand.
Looking at the two figures, one big and one small, Si Jian Ye's gaze sank again. As if spitting ice shards, he slowly uttered a sentence: "Xin Xin, slow down. You'll fall if you run too fast."
He was clearly Si Xin Xin's father.
Yet, this child was like a fickle reed, forgetting her father the moment she saw Feng Ning He.
Si Xin Xin was running happily when she suddenly stopped, as if she had thought of something. She waved at Si Jian Ye: "Father, come here quickly. Xin Xin wants to hold your hand and walk together!"
The milky female voice instantly dispelled the annoyance in Si Jian Ye's heart. The expression on his face, hidden beneath the mask, clearly eased.
He grunted and his pace quickened noticeably.
Si Xin Xin eagerly held Si Jian Ye's hand, her tender face beaming with a smile.
She held Feng Ning He's hand in one and Si Jian Ye's in the other.
This scene was peaceful yet eerie.
Old Man Xu swallowed, staring at the scene for a long time, unable to utter a word.
Feng Ning He turned her gaze to Si Jian Ye, who was not far away.
The man stood tall and walked with strong strides.
The golden mask completely covered his face, making his features indistinguishable, but it gave him a stern aura.
Seeing Si Xin Xin's smiling face, she finally dispelled her unease.
If it weren't for Xin Xin being between them, she would never have maintained such close proximity to this man.
The group proceeded and soon arrived at Si Jian Ye's residence.
A wooden tub and the necessary items were already prepared in the room.
Feng Ning He took out the pre-mixed medicine and added it to the water from the spiritual river, mixing it into the wooden tub.
"Pretty sister, can you wait for me to wake up before leaving today?"
Si Xin Xin stretched out her chubby little hand and gently tugged at her sleeve.
Looking at the tender little face before her, Feng Ning He's heart melted completely.
She smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for you to wake up before leaving today."
Si Xin Xin nimbly stepped into the bathtub, unafraid of what was to come.
Feng Ning He placed a small, exquisite porcelain bottle on the table and explained softly: "The dosage this time is the same as last time. I've added medicine to the porcelain bottle. Once you've adapted to the dosage in the tub, I'll add a little more."
Si Xin Xin in the tub nodded solemnly, her chubby cheeks bearing a seriousness beyond her years: "Pretty sister, don't worry, Xin Xin can handle it!"
Si Xin Xin's eyeballs rolled around in her sockets, her gaze shifting between Feng Ning He and Si Jian Ye from time to time.
After some thought, she looked at the people in the room: "Why don't you all go out for a walk? Absorbing the medicine won't be finished in a moment. I can concentrate better on absorbing it alone in the room."
Feng Ning He was not reassured and instinctively raised an eyebrow: "But..."
Before she could finish speaking, Si Xin Xin urged: "Only by concentrating can I absorb the medicine better. With so many people in the room, I can't possibly concentrate."
Pretty sister and Father don't have that good a relationship. They need more contact.
Perhaps Pretty sister will discover how good Father is.
She was still hoping Pretty sister would become her mother, so they had to get Father and Pretty sister to get along well!
A Xi nodded slightly in approval: "Miss is right. She should be allowed to concentrate on absorbing the medicine. We should leave quickly."
A Xi was the first to push the door open and leave.
Si Jian Ye lowered his gaze to Si Xin Xin, who was soaking in the medicinal bath, his eyes darkening slightly. He whispered, "Father is just outside. If you need anything, just call out."
"Don't worry, Father, Xin Xin will be fine!"
Si Xin Xin blinked her bright eyes and patted her chest with her hand.
Only then did Feng Ning He step out of the room.
Before leaving, she did not forget to close the door.
Only Xin Xin remained in the room.
Everyone gathered in the courtyard.
It would take at least an hour to absorb all this medicine.
Feng Ning He looked at Si Jian Ye: "I'll take a walk around. Call me if you need anything."
This residence was protected by a formation, and the spiritual energy within was abundant.
She was curious to see what the formation was like.
Si Jian Ye did not speak and sat in the pavilion by himself.
Feng Ning He took his silence as consent and walked away on her own.
The residence was not large, but it was exceptionally exquisite.
She looked around, examining the formation within the residence.
As she turned, Feng Ning He seemed to notice something and quickly walked towards a small courtyard.
The small courtyard was the formation's core.
The spiritual energy here was significantly more abundant than outside.
"Wow, this is a great place, I feel like there's something good here!"
The voice of the ginseng sprout reached her ears.
It eagerly leaped out of Feng Ning He's dantian.
After a short period of not seeing it, its size had already increased considerably.
It was now as tall as an arm, and even the tender leaves on its body had increased.
Xiao Zhao's bright blue eyes were scanning the ginseng sprout up and down, and he murmured softly.
I didn't expect you to grow so much in such a short time.
"Of course! Who do you think I am?"
The ginseng sprout tilted its head proudly, its tender leaves swaying.
Feng Ning He's gaze swept around before turning back to the ginseng sprout: "Did you sense anything good here?"
The ginseng sprout nodded repeatedly. It slithered onto the ground, its long roots wriggling on the ground.
That awkward gait...
It looked so familiar.
Feng Ning He raised an eyebrow, her gaze fixed on the ginseng sprout, a thoughtful expression in her eyes.
"It's here! There are so many good things here!"
The ginseng sprout, as if discovering something, eagerly moved forward on its long roots.
The ginseng sprout stopped in front of a row of potted plants.
Each pot contained heavenly and earthly medicinal herbs.
This row of heavenly and earthly medicinal herbs made the ginseng sprout lick its lips, and upon closer inspection, a little saliva was seen at the corners of its mouth.
The ginseng sprout waved its two tender leaves, eagerly pointing to a pot of blue, faintly glowing herb: "Master! Hurry and pull it out! This is a good thing. If I eat it, I can grow even bigger! And this one is also a good thing! Let's just pull them all out and take them with us!"
The ginseng sprout, being a plant itself, was well aware of its own kind.
Xiao Zhao's bright blue eyes were gazing at the row of herbs before him.
Although he was not a plant, he could tell that each plant here was a treasure.
Seeing so many heavenly and earthly medicinal herbs laid out before her, Feng Ning He clicked her tongue, quickly rolled up her sleeves, and pondered which one to start with.
"This small courtyard actually has so many precious medicinal herbs. It's no wonder Si Jian Ye was able to gather the herbs in such a short time. We'll just take a little, and then leave some spirit stones as payment!"
As she spoke, she reached out her hand towards an herb.
The ginseng sprout was not idle either, opening its large mouth and quickly biting down on a pot of brilliantly blooming herb!
They did not notice a figure standing silently behind them.
