Chapter 189: We May Need To Go Somewhere

“Do you still want to walk?” Jiang Shuxuan lowered his head, looking at Haha, who was at his feet.

Haha raised its head, looking up at Jiang Shuxuan with its large, beady eyes. It tilted its head cutely to the side, barking twice: “Woof woof~”

How the heck would Jiang Shuxuan know what it meant, but he didn’t bother too much about it. When he had returned in the afternoon, Gu Xiqiao was not back yet. He took a shower and intended to wait downstairs, but he didn’t expect Haha to see through his intentions, and immediately bit his trousers, wanting to follow him.

His image and reputation had really been ruined by Gu Xiqiao. In the house, he was still the highest authority, but only because Gu Xiqiao let him do as he wanted, while Xixi was helpless towards him. Now even Haha wasn’t afraid of him.

Sliding a hand into his pocket, while the other held his phone and the dog following behind him, Jiang Shuxuan stood facing the main road, completely unaware that he had become a pleasant sight for people who came and went around him.

The man standing on the cobblestone road in the community area looked elegant and majestic, his eyes were deep and mesmerizing, while his facial features were delicate and flawless. He only needed to stand where he was, and the other people around him would blend into the background, making the people watching him forget the noises of the crowd, and even the sounds of the car horns from across the streets seem to fade into the distance.

“Mr.Jia-” Hua Jingya was stunned for a moment, and then she took a step forward. Before she could walk over, a warm and gentle glint entered his eyes, and his cold, indifferent face melted into a soft look.

He walked in her direction, and Hua Jingya stood where she was, her heart thumping in her chest wildly. Her fingers trembled in excitement, but the next moment she raised her hands to cover her face because of the unhealed scar on it, but his gorgeous eyes were fixed on her face.

Five meters, three meters, two meters—Hua Jingya was about to open her mouth, but then he walked right past her.

Her face paled instantly.

She stood rooted, and there were a few women around her with undisguised glee in their eyes, sneaking glances at her while laughing at her not knowing her position. Hua Jingya’s face darkened.

She bit her lip and turned her head slightly, seeing the familiar face that disgusted her to the core!

Her phone rang again, and Hua Jingya took it out to see it was Rong Feishuang calling. She answered the call in a hurry, and giving one last look to the two behind her, she then left hastily.

“Brother Jiang, why did you bring Haha down with you?” Gu Xiqiao picked Haha up in her arms. “And why are you here waiting for me?”

Jiang Shuxuan glanced at Haha, calmly saying, “It dragged me down here.” Having said that, he even showed Gu Xiqiao the marks that Haha had left on his trousers.

Haha: … I really misjudged you, I can’t believe that you would be like this, Jiang Shuxuan!

Gu Xiqiao saw the marks on Jiang Shuxuan’s pants, and she turned to Haha. “Haha, no more biting next time!”

Haha: Woof~

Jiang Shuxuan: …

Wouldn’t it be weirder if Haha was here and not him! QAQ

There wasn’t anything in the fridge, so the two of them didn’t go back home, but went to the supermarket that was located directly beside their place.

In the void space, the system spirit was playing games with its leg raised in the air. [Beauty Qiao, you still have three unfinished missions. One is Ning Qing’s, one is Little Huazi’s, and the last one is Baili Bin’s. When that’s all done, do you think I can get another upgrade?]

‘It’s still too soon to tell.’ Gu Xiqiao picked up two packs of dog food, placing it in the cart. ‘You need ten thousand points for the next one, it’s a bit difficult.’

If there were no big missions to do, she wasn’t sure when it would be before it could upgrade again.

But every time a big mission came, it was a chain mission and concerned something deadly. Gu Xiqiao took a deep breath, she needed to start working harder on leveling up. She had this nagging feeling that her next chain mission wasn’t that far off.

Hua Jingya had found the building that Rong Feishuang was at.

A room on the fifteenth floor.

Hua Jingya felt that it was a bit strange, she thought that people on the top would be living in a manor or villa, and she didn’t expect to be led to a community building instead. However, she didn’t think too much about it, because the door had just opened.

“Hello, Miss Hua.” It was a middle-aged man who opened the door. Although his face was kind, there was a kind of pressure that radiated from his person.

She immediately knew that he wasn’t any ordinary folk, and a calm smile was pasted on her face, though she felt anything but inside.

The only people who could give her this feeling was someone from the ancient martial arts world.

“You’re here.” A face appeared in front of her suddenly, his hair had already gone white, but there was a healthy glow on his face, looking like the image of an old man. “Baili my boy, hurry up and put those things down. Let us look at your legs!”

Rong Feishuang didn’t really understand Baili Bin’s obsession with reading lately, and he kept playing with those stones.

Although his personality had become more upbeat recently, it was also a little strange. He really wanted to know what made him change this way.

Could it be because there were signs of a revival of the Baili family?

At Rong Feishuang’s voice, Hua Jingya raised her head to find another person in the living room. He was sitting in a wheelchair, a very handsome and attractive face. He had an indifferent expression, and a sort of gentle feeling radiating from him.

Dazzled by his good looks, it took a moment for Hua Jingya to notice that he was in a wheelchair, a pity flashed in her eyes.

Baili Bin placed down the book that was in his hands, and pretended that he didn’t see the flash of pity in her eyes as he nodded slightly at her. “Hello, Miss Hua.”

“Divine Doctor Rong, I know my legs the best, and I know they can no longer be saved,” Baili Bin looked at Rong Feishuang and said suddenly. There was no joy or sadness in his voice, as though this was a normal occurrence.

He had the orthodox formation inheritance now, and his achievements in formations have gone through massive breakthroughs, and even completely changed his understanding of formations as a whole. So what if his legs were an inconvenience? He was still himself, the abilities he possessed were still within him. After reading the news about Gu Xiqiao many times, the words that she said still resonated deeply with him—Everything that doesn’t destroy you, will make you stronger.

If he didn’t go through his sufferings, then he wouldn’t be able to see through people’s hearts. If he didn’t suffer, he wouldn’t have met these people in the Baili family.

He had felt aggrieved for the past seven years. However, he could see clearly nowadays. He couldn’t say what exactly changed him, but he liked where he was compared to the ancient martial arts world. Especially in the mornings, he would let Uncle Tai push him outside, and most of the time he would meet her on a morning jog with Jiang Shuxuan.

Baili Bin knew in his heart that the book Jiang Shuxuan had given them was from Gu Xiqiao. Although none of the said anything about it, he would remember it in his heart.

How can you forget this kind of grace that had been given?

Hearing Baili Bin’s words, Rong Feishuang was stunned for a moment, before jumping to his feet angrily. “Baili Bin, are you just accepting your fate? Don’t you have any ambitions? Do you know how worried your grandfather and everyone else are?”

“Divine Doctor Rong.” Baili Bin sighed. Rong Feishuang and Baili Qu were close friends, and he knew that Rong Feishuang was a kind soul. But seven years had passed, and he had already experienced countless expectations and disappointments during those years, and he was already used to it.

Well, fine. Nothing wrong with just one more time, he supposed. “Please go on.”

Uncle Tai pushed Baili Bin into the bedroom.

“Miss Hua, I know that there is an acupuncture method passed down in your family, I will need your help in a while.” Rong Feishuang stood outside the door, briefing Hua Jingya, a grave look on his face.

When he went to see Hua Jingya a few days ago, she had demonstrated her genius talents in front of him on the spot. At such a young age, her line formation and method was simple and neat, and he was satisfied by what he saw. It felt like she would give him way less trouble than his own disciple too, and he had the intention to take her in at that moment.

However, he was extremely picky in his disciples. He not only looked at their talent, but also their character. Although Hua Jingya had the talent, Rong Feishuang decided to observe a few more days before he decided on anything.

If she could save Baili Bin, then he would accept her without a second thought.

“What’s wrong with your face?” Rong Feishuang suddenly realized the scar on Hua Jingya’s face and asked.

Hua Jingya touched the scar on her face, the one that had been inflicted on her by Bai Jianbin in prison. A hard glint flashed through her eyes and she lowered them. “Some small wound.”

“It’s not good for girls to have scars.” Rong Feishuang pulled out a small bottle, a really really small one, the smallest glass jar that you could find. “This is a scar removal beauty product made by my disciple, take it and use it.”

When he talked about Zhu Yuan, he spoke with pride in his voice.

“Thank you!” It was something that Rong Feishuang endorsed, so it can’t be bad. Hua Jingya took it ecstatically, and carefully placed it in her pocket.

The cut on her face had been deep, and she couldn’t care for it properly while in prison. Hua Jingya had initially planned to go for dermabrasion, but it would leave a little bit of unnaturalness on her face, and she was worried about that. She didn’t expect to have Rong Feishuang give her this, how could she not be excited about it?

“Divine Doctor Rong, Miss Hua, you may enter now.” Uncle Tai opened the room door, and stood at the side as he waited for them to enter.

His eyes were full of excitement, and it was also slightly moist. He had practically raised Baili Bin, and seeing him in such a depressing state for so many years, the saddest people were him and Baili Qu.

An energetic young man in the ancient martial arts world that suddenly encountered this kind of thing, and his entire future was turned bleak in an instant. Even his fiancee came to regret their engagement, how could anyone bear such blows to their person?

Fortunately, after such a long period of being depressed, it seemed that Baili Bin had gradually started to recover. And Divine Doctor Rong had now mentioned that it was possible for the young master’s legs to recover! Uncle Tai could no longer use words to describe his feelings, the only thought in his mind was that after today, there would be good news to tell Baili Qu!

Hua Jingya followed Rong Feishuang into the bedroom, and with a glance she saw Baili Bin’s exposed legs. More accurately to say, they were no longer legs. The muscles have completely deflated, and only the green veins were vividly sticking out, and a bunch of blood vessels were intertwined together. It was a terrifying picture to look at, incredibly nightmarish.

She took a step back in fright, and her eyes were wide with fear. Although she had seen her fair share of injuries and wounds, she had never seen such disgusting and revolting legs like this!

Seeing her reaction, Baili Bin’s face didn’t change. Except for Rong Feishuang and Zhu Yuan, there were few people who reacted to his legs with indifference. Even his grandfather had been shocked when he saw it for the first time. He was already unbothered by it.

Rong Feishuang glanced at Hua Jingya, his brows furrowing slightly.

He didn’t say anything though, because when he thought about it, she was still a girl in the end, and that was a logical explanation. “Miss Hua, is it possible to use your acupuncture method? Do you need anything special for it?”

When using an ancestral technique, it was normal to sometimes need to place an incense for it. Rong Feishuang had already had Uncle Tai prepare it in advance to save time, but he didn’t expect Hua Jingya to shake her head. “No need, saving people is the priority. Our Hua family doesn’t have many rules regarding this.”

Rong Feishuang watched as Hua Jingya pulled out a set of silver needles and he didn’t dare to speak much after that, leaving the room immediately.

This was a technique that was handed down in the Hua family, he naturally wanted to avoid arousing suspicion by staying inside. Outside the door, Uncle Tai was a bundle of nerves. “Divine Doctor Rong, will the young master really be fine again?”

“The Hua family’s acupuncture method, ‘break to stand’, adding on to the method that I started to study, it will definitely succeed.” Rong Feishuang was confident, if it wasn’t for Baili Bin’s legs lacking the natural energy and lifeforce, he would have been able to cure him a long time ago.

Only, Rong Feishuang wasn’t aware that since the Hua family’s acupuncture technique was such an impossible feat, it had to be performed by a legitimate heir with the precise techniques!

The two stood outside the door for what felt like a year. Forty minutes later, a scream suddenly came from the inside.

Before Rong Feishuang could react, Uncle Tai had kicked open the door. As soon as he saw Baili Bin’s blackening legs, his eyes widened. “Young Master!”

***

At the same time, Gu Xiqiao and Jiang Shuxuan had just finished buying their groceries.

Haha followed behind them, and Jiang Shuxuan was carrying a large bag as though it didn’t weigh a single thing in his hands.

Just as they reached the building that they lived in, Gu Xiqiao stopped suddenly, turning to Jiang Shuxuan with a smile on her face. “Brother Jiang, we may need to go somewhere before we can go home.”

Jiang Shuxuan turned to her thoughtfully, glancing at the building opposite them, and his gleaming eyes narrowed. He held Gu Xiqiao’s hand tightly, and his voice came out low and deep, “Let’s go together then.”
