Chapter 117 Sick
Old Man Bai home.
The light was dim, Zheng Fa and three people were sitting in the living room.
The atmosphere is a bit gloomy.
"Your mother won't let you come here?" Old Man Bai asked softly.
Tang Lingwu nodded slightly, then shook his head.
She sniffed, as if she didn't want them to worry, and she gave an unnatural smile, "My mother's condition is a bit bad recently, and I want to spend more time with her."
Zheng Fa stared closely into Tang Lingwu's eyes.
Tang Lingwu seemed unwilling to look at Zheng Fa. She lowered her head, and the hair on the side of her face fell down, forming a shadow on her face, covering her exhaustion and helplessness.
"Why exactly?" Zheng Fa asked.
"Because of me." After a long silence, Tang Lingwu replied softly, "I stayed here too late before, and my mother was a little angry..."
Zheng Fa Remembering that this was to find Five-Element Sub-Talisman, several people were a little excited. They went back later than usual in those days.
Tang Lingwu The cell phone at that time always rang several times.
"Later, my mother discovered that I stayed up late. She had insomnia and couldn't sleep all night long."
The notebook filled with Talisman Diagram's drawings appeared in Zheng Fa's mind - Metal-Element Sub-Talisman was discovered by Tang Lingwu after staying up late.
It seems to be all related to him.
"This doesn't prevent you from coming here, does it?" Old Man Bai frowned slightly. "Is your mother's condition serious again?"
"No... it was me who had been quarreling with her in the past two days, and she couldn't bear it and wouldn't allow me to come over." Tang Lingwu said with some regret in his tone.
"Why the quarrel?"
"I told her... I wasn't going to major in management in college, but I was going to major in computer science. She felt that I didn't listen to her and she wouldn't let me go out."
Old Man Bai glanced at Zheng Fa, and then asked Tang Lingwu in confusion, "Wait, why did you minor in management before?"
Tang Lingwu explained to the two of them, "My mother said, she said that after I graduate from my undergraduate degree, I can go abroad to study business... and come back to take over my father's company."
"The computer..."
Zheng Fa saw Tang Lingwu's head tilt slightly toward him, as if he wanted to look at himself, but he stopped immediately.
"I recently discovered that I really like computers!"
Zheng Fa heard Tang Lingwu say a little loudly, and seemed to think that the two of them would believe it if the voice was louder.
His mood is a bit complicated.
This girl probably came up with the idea of minoring in computer science because she saw how useful computers were in studying Talisman Diagram, and also knew that Zheng Fa was not sure about letting outsiders know about her cultivation of immortality.
Tang Lingwu raised her head, and seemed to realize that the two of them didn't quite believe her words, and added, "Actually, I just don't study computers, and I don't want to study business, but I didn't tell my mother before!"
"Why don't you want to?"
"My mother didn't let boys get close to her since she was a child, so that's okay, but she follows her around every day. I haven't had a best friend since I was a kid, and I have no interpersonal skills at all."
"I can feel quite comfortable with two or three acquaintances like us."
"I don't like it when there are many people around, and I don't have the patience to talk. I'm not suitable for business, let alone managing a company."
Tang Lingwu also looked helpless, and she explained to the two of them, "I originally thought that I would learn from Mathematics to do research in the future, but I really don't have the talent in the future. If I learn from L'Hôpital, I can survive in the Mathematics world."
Old Man Bai was stunned for a moment, and the distress on his face suddenly disappeared.
Zheng Fa understands him very well--L'Hôpital, the rich man who bought a paper that will go down in history as soon as he opened his mouth, you feel so sorry for him!
Seeing the speechless expressions of the two people, Tang Lingwu showed a sly smile on his face, stood up and said, "Now that my mother doesn't agree, I can only go back and inherit my father's wealth! You don't have to worry, my mother is still waiting for me, I'll leave first."
"I learned a spell before."
Zheng Fa suddenly spoke behind her.
"Huh?"
Tang Lingwu paused and slowly turned his head.
"Call Nourishing Spirit Talisman."
"Nurture... god... talisman?"
Tang Lingwu chewed on these three words and asked with a trembling tone:
"You mean?"
"... I'm not sure if it's useful." Zheng Fa said cautiously, "I can only say that it can strengthen people's spirit and nourish people's Divine Soul, and the effect is mild - it is of no use and will not cause harm."
This was a major reason why he chose Nourishing Spirit Talisman - although this talisman was not the most effective in treating Divine Soul, it was the safest.
Although Xuanwei Realm's research on souls far exceeds that of modern times, the two worlds are different after all, so Zheng Fa still made a relatively conservative choice.
Tang Lingwu nodded slowly. The unnatural smile on his face disappeared, but his eyes became much brighter.
"If you're not worried, we can try it first." Zheng Fa said.
"Try it?" Old Man Bai was stunned and asked, "On whom?"
Zheng Fa looked at him.
"I don't!" Old Man Bai waved his hand quickly. "I have a very good mind and there is nothing wrong with me at all!"
"I'll do it." Tang Lingwu gritted his teeth and said.
Zheng Fa points his finger, and Nourishing Spirit Talisman inside Dantian trembles slightly.
A burst of spiritual power burst out from his fingertips, forming a golden rune in the air and flying to Tang Lingwu's forehead.
Tang Lingwu seemed a little nervous, closing her eyes subconsciously, her eyelashes trembling constantly, the magic talisman sank from her forehead, and she fell limply to the ground. Zheng Fa hurriedly supported her and put her on the sofa.
"What's wrong!"
Old Man Bai was also startled, thinking that something had really happened to Tang Lingwu.
After another look, both of them were relieved.
This girl was sleeping soundly--even slightly humming because her nose was a little blocked.
Tang Lingwu fell asleep not long ago and woke up within a quarter of an hour.
Her changes are very obvious.
When he came to Old Man Bai's house, Tang Lingwu looked tired, lacked energy, and his eyes were black and blue. It was obvious at a glance that he was in bad condition.
She seems to have changed now - her face is rosy, her eyes are clear, and she is full of energy.
Old Man Bai leaned his head over, looked around curiously, and asked Tang Lingwu: "Such a big change? How does it feel?"
"Feeling?" Tang Lingwu grinned.
Zheng Fa I feel like there is a happy and silly bubble about this girl.
He heard Tang Lingwu say in a dreamy voice, "It feels like my head is soaking in a hot spring and my soul is basking in the sun..."
"I want to try! I want to try!"
Old Man Bai seemed to be really greedy as he listened, and shouted towards Zheng Fa.
"Aren't you mentally ill?"
"... How many of those who follow Mathematics are not crazy?" Old Man Bai replied confidently, "Let me play!"
"My mother doesn't believe it."
Putting down the phone, Tang Lingwu said helplessly to the two of them.
Zheng Fa is not surprising.
I am just a classmate of Tang Lingwu. It is normal for Tang Lingwu's mother not to believe her.
"I'm coming!"
Old Man Bai stretched out his hand, and Tang Lingwu doubtfully placed the phone in his hand.
"Hello? Oh, it's me, it's me."
Old Man Bai greets the other party in a familiar manner.
"Yes, yes, I'm just here to tell you about this child."
"He really has this ability, it's amazing!"
"Don't believe it! I've tried it!" Old Man Bai vowed. "Oh, yes! I'm sick too! I've been taking medicine!"
The other person seemed to really believe it, listening to Old Man Bai's nonsense.
"Think about it, I took your money to tutor Xiao Tang, but I didn't even take the money for that kid!"
"Yes! That's why!"
"Is it okay today?"
Old Man Bai looked at Zheng Fa, who shook his head slightly.
Today he has tried Tang Lingwu and Old Man Bai twice.
If he does it again, the Nourishing Spirit Talisman in his Dantian will dissipate.
"Tomorrow! I'll go to your house after school tomorrow? Okay, okay!"
Putting down the phone, Old Man Bai looked at the two of them with a determined look.
"... Teacher, how do you..."
Tang Lingwu showed an expression of admiration.
"Everyone who is sick looks sick." Old Man Bai shook his head. "Do you really think I was joking when I said Mathematics is a lunatic?"
"..."
"I have seen a lot and have experience!"
Old Man Bai's tone sounded distressed and experienced.
As soon as the school bell rang the next day, Tang Lingwu trotted over to Zheng Fa's seat and looked at him with piercing eyes, as if she was afraid that he would regret it.
Zheng Fa shook his head helplessly. He didn't even have time to put away the pens and papers on the table, so he stood up and followed her outside.
"My mother sent a driver to pick us up. It only takes twenty minutes from school to my house." Tang Lingwu said in a cheerful tone, "I will ask my mother to take you back later."
The two walked out of the classroom side by side.
Wang Chen, who was sitting behind Zheng Dharma Body, looked at the two of them leaving the classroom together. He turned his head blankly and looked at his deskmate. His tone was inexplicably unconfident, as if he was doubting his own ears. "Did you hear it?"
"I heard it."
His deskmate's expression also seemed to suspect that he was dreaming.
"If I heard correctly, Zheng Fa is going to Tang Lingwu's house?"
"Well..."
"Or Tang Lingwu's mother sent someone to pick her up?"
"Well..."
"Are you meeting your parents?"
"... I think so."
"I can't understand!" Wang Chen said in a somewhat sad and angry tone, "Why!"
His deskmate nodded slowly, pointed to the door and said, "Look Old Chen, he seems to be even more incomprehensible than you."
Wang Chen turned around and saw Old Chen standing in the corridor looking downstairs, smoking a cigarette and scratching his bare scalp crazily.
There was a look of confusion on his face that he had seen an alien.
Zheng Fa didn't go to Tang Lingwu's house alone.
As his recommender and guarantor, Old Man Bai had already been sitting in the back seat of the car waiting for the two of them.
Tang Lingwu's driver is dressed very plainly, Big Underpants wears a T-shirt, not the suits and leather shoes of the wealthy drivers in TV series.
The driver didn't speak a word along the way, but Zheng Fa keenly felt that this man was looking at him through the rearview mirror from time to time while driving, obviously full of curiosity about him.
A twenty-minute drive is not that close in this prefecture-level city. Zheng Fa saw the car slowly driving into a villa area.
This place is not as luxurious as in the TV show. There are no manors or big iron gates.
There are only three-story villas that are widely spaced apart. It seems that the buildings here are not very new, they must be about ten years old.
Probably because it was built relatively early, this place is actually in the city center and occupies a good location, with a small hill behind it.
