Wen Zhi felt a pang of sadness thinking about her junior sister's words. If the plague in the city was truly related to these people, how could she live up to the people's trust?

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "We have already discovered that the plague in the city is related to a rat demon. We will take action tonight to capture the rat demon. Once the rat demon is caught, the plague in the city will be resolved."

Xiao Er was overjoyed, "This is wonderful! Thank you so much, esteemed immortals!"

Wen Zhi glanced at Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu then took out a light blue bead from her sleeve and handed it to her.

"A-Zhi, I know you're worried about those patients," Liu Xiu smiled slightly. "Take this Water-Avoiding Pearl."

Wen Zhi was very surprised, "You..."

"A-Zhi, I understand you." Liu Xiu gazed at her tenderly, her voice full of affection. "You are still so kind-hearted, just like back then, you haven't changed at all."

[Tsk tsk tsk.]

Of course you know!

[You knew your senior sister would definitely find a cure, so you lent her your Water-Avoiding Pearl. Once she developed the Pill Formula, you'd steal the credit for the cure, reaping both fame and fortune. How shameless!]

Qiaoqiao leaned against her third senior sister, feeling indignant.

[Not only that, he stole the credit from his third senior sister, claiming it was for her own good. Taking advantage of the epidemic, he obtained numerous Pill Formula from her, which he then used to curry favor with his lovers.]

[His third senior sister was still completely unaware of his true intentions, believing he had a wide circle of friends and many 'good friends'!]

[If I remember correctly, it was after this sect competition that the scumbag and the third senior sister officially got together and formed a Daoist partnership. Not long after, the senior sister discovered that the scumbag had only used her as a substitute. Heartbroken, she left him, but he regretted it and came back. In the end, the third senior sister was forced to commit suicide with the scumbag!]

[Ugh, I'm so angry! How could he possibly be worthy of me!]

Hearing these words, Wen Zhi's heart was stirred.

After overhearing her junior sister's thoughts in Flying Kite City, she became more wary of Liu Xiu. She knew her own personality; she didn't like to take the initiative to make friends with others, but if someone showed her kindness, she would easily develop feelings for them.

She treats people with sincerity and is very trusting, which makes her easily deceived.

Liu Xiu was from the same village as her, and was about ten years older than her. She remembered that when she was young, she had secretly admired this Brother Liu. He was the king of the children in the village, and all the children liked to play with him.

She was afraid of being disliked, so she never dared to join the group of children, but instead hid to the side and watched secretly.

Until one time, when she was being bullied, it was Liu Xiu who stood up for her. He was so gentle, wiping the mud off her face and telling her that she could come to him for help if she ever encountered any difficulties in the future.

At that moment, Wen Zhi was deeply moved.

Unfortunately, not long after, Liu Xiu left the village. He heard from the other villagers that he had been chosen by a master of the Profound Heaven Sect and had entered the sect to cultivate immortality. From then on, he was no longer a person of their world.

Wen Zhi melancholy and disappointed. She secretly made up her mind that she would also cultivate immortality so that she could stand in front of Liu Xiu one day and tell him openly and honestly that she wanted to be his friend, instead of hiding in a corner and watching others call him brother.

So when she reunited with Liu Xiu in Flying Kite City, she was both surprised and delighted. She was surprised because Liu Xiu had become the deputy head of the Profound Heaven Sect Sect's Medicine Hall, a position far above hers. She was delighted because his attitude towards her was still the same as before, the gentle Brother Liu she remembered.

She could hardly contain her feelings for Liu Xiu.

If it weren't for Qiaoqiao's words, she would have been completely unsuspecting of Liu Xiu.

Because of Qiaoqiao's reminder, and the previous incident with Fairy Peilan, she was reminded not to trust others easily, and for the past month or so, she has kept her distance from Liu Xiu.

However, Liu Xiu's frequent advances were hard for her to handle, so she had been somewhat unsettled along the way.

Until my junior sister said these words--

She knew her junior sister's dreams could predict the future, but she never imagined her own future would be like this...

Will she die at Liu Xiu's hands?

It was her junior sister who made her realize that she loved alchemy and wanted to refine more pills to become a powerful Alchemist.

It would be such a waste to die for a man.

Wen Zhi's wavering resolve instantly hardened. She looked at Liu Xiu, shook her head, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but Master of the Water-Avoiding Pearl should keep it for yourself. I'll think of another way."

Liu Xiu seemed surprised that Wen Zhi would refuse her. "A-Zhi, I told you you don't need to call me Hall Master. Just call me Brother Liu, like before."

Qiaoqiao: "Ugh."

Liu Xiu:...

What's wrong?

"Excuse me," Qiaoqiao smiled slightly, "Someone here ate garlic, and I feel a little nauseous."

puff.

Xiao Tingyu couldn't help but laugh.

Qiaoqiao is right, Liu Xiu really does have a foul mouth. "Brother Liu," pshaw, what a shameless person.

Liu Xiu frowned. Qiaoqiao's words were clearly directed at him. This little girl, relying on the support of Immortal Venerable Wanghan, had repeatedly offended him. It was simply too much!

Just as he was about to lash out, Xiao Tingyu stepped forward and said, "Qiaoqiao is right. The Hall Master should take back the Water-Avoiding Pearl. Junior Sister doesn't need it."

Liu Xiu said, "If you don't let her see those patients, she'll have a guilty conscience. You're harming her."

Xiao Tingyu found this laughable. "Who harmed her? Everyone knows the answer."

If it weren't for her status, Liu Xiu would have almost lost her temper.

He, the Medicine Hall of the Profound Heaven Sect, is highly respected wherever he goes. So what's going on with Immortal Venerable Wanghan's disciples? One or two of them are so disrespectful to him.

"Who said we couldn't let our junior sister visit those patients?" Xiao Tingyu said. "There are so many magical Law Treasure in the Cultivation World, do we really have to rely on a Water-Avoiding Pearl?"

Liu Xiu scoffed, "The Water-Avoiding Pearl a sixth- Earth Grade Law Treasure, unique to the Glazed Sea. In terms of rarity, its grade is even higher than sixth rank. Could you possibly produce an even rarer Law Treasure?"
