Chapter 417 Is it bad for me to be kind?

"Elder Liu, let me first make it clear to you that Xingxing is in very poor health and cannot withstand the wind and rain."

He paused and looked Elder Liu up and down: "Besides, Xingxing can't solve the problem that you and Elder Qi can't solve now. Why don't you think of another way?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Elder Liu shook his head and sighed, "We also know the young master's current physical condition, but this matter is not only of great importance, but also related to the Demon Realm, so we have to find the young master."

"I will never let Xingxing take risks." Chujiu became resolute as he spoke.

Elder Liu's old face showed a trace of anxiety: "Girl, this matter is not only related to Hualing, but also involves the Demon Realm, and even more."

Chujiu took a deep breath and thought for a while: "Let me do this. If Xingxing can do it, I can do it too..."

"Let him in."

Before Chujiu finished speaking, a hoarse and flat voice came from the room.

She was stunned for a moment, then turned around, opened the door, and walked in quickly.

When I raised my eyes, Mo Xinglan had already sat up.

"When did you wake up?" She came to the bed.

"For a little while." He pursed his lips and chuckled, "I heard what you said outside."

Chujiu lowered her head, worried about what he would think.

Elder Liu walked in and sighed after seeing Mo Xinglan’s pale face, feeling extremely guilty.

This was the first time he had seen Mo Xinglan since he was injured. It wasn't that he didn't come to see her before, but he was blocked by Chujiu when he came, and the Mo family still had many things to deal with.

He had originally been hoping for a lucky break, thinking that Mo Xinglan might not be as bad as Chujiu said. However, when he saw him with his own eyes, he realized that he was far worse than he had imagined.

Mo Xinglan took in the expression on Elder Liu's face.

He glanced at the chair beside him and smiled slightly, "Elder Liu, if you have anything to say, please sit down and talk."

Upon hearing this, Fang Hao took a chair and placed it behind Elder Liu.

"Elder Liu, please take a seat."

Elder Liu slowly sat down on the chair, carefully observed Mo Xinglan, and after a moment of silence, he did not say anything, but instead asked about Mo Xinglan's physical condition.

"Is the young master in good health?"

Mo Xinglan chuckled: "Fortunately, there is nothing wrong."

Although he heard his answer, Elder Liu still hesitated whether to tell Mo Xinglan about the matter when he saw his listless face.

After all, he has lived for almost a thousand years, so he can still see Mo Xinglan's current situation, and he also knows that Mo Xinglan is just being polite.

"Don't you have something to say, Elder?"

Seeing that he was hesitant, Mo Xinglan took the initiative to speak.

"Oh, about this matter..." Elder Liu hesitated again and again, and finally sighed when he saw Mo Xinglan's pale face, "Let's wait until the young master gets better before we talk about it."

Mo Xinglan lowered his eyes and chuckled: "Then I'm afraid I'll have to let the elders wait..."

He paused when he said this, glanced at Chujiu, and then lowered his eyes again: "A year and a half."

Chujiu, who had remained silent, trembled, pursed her lips, and held the hem of her skirt tightly with her hands on her knees.

It will take a year or two to recover, so how long will it take to fully recover?

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt a heaviness on my head.

When he turned his head, he met Mo Xinglan's blood-red eyes that were full of doting.

A year or so was just something he said casually, and even he himself was not sure of the real situation. But he would not tell her.

After hearing what was said, Elder Liu was stunned and began to think seriously.

In fact, from the conversation between Elder Liu and Chujiu just now, Mo Xinglan had already guessed what it was. He didn't say it directly, but he was also thinking about it.

If this happened in the past, it wouldn't be too dangerous for him, but it is really difficult for him now.

He raised his eyes to look at Chujiu, and their eyes met with tenderness.

"No matter what it is, I don't agree with you going." Chujiu raised his hand and held the hand on his head in his palm, his expression not allowing for refusal.

Mo Xinglan lowered his eyebrows slightly, and said in a gentle tone: "This matter is indeed of great importance."

And he also has his considerations.

"Then leave it to me. I can do what you can do." This was her final concession.

He knew she would do this, so he interrupted her just now. But now it seems that if he insists on going alone, she will not let him go no matter what.

After thinking for a moment, I agreed: "Okay."

Chujiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but soon became confused again.

"So what's going on?"

"..."

After these words were spoken, the whole room fell silent.

After talking for so long, it turned out that she didn't know what it was about.

Mo Xinglan covered her lips and chuckled.

Fang Hao and Elder Liu could only pretend that they didn't hear it and keep silent.

Chujiu looked at Mo Xinglan: "What? Is there anything wrong with what I asked?"

As long as she is not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.

"No." Mo Xinglan was helpless.

Then he looked at Elder Liu and said, "I guess the seal of Chengtan'ao has loosened."

Elder Liu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and sighed: "Everything was fine before. I don't know why, but three days ago, there was a loud noise over there in Chengtan'ao. When we took people to check, the sleeping Qilin woke up and the seal was loosened."

"We were worried that he would break the seal soon, so we had to come look for the young master."

Mo Xinglan was silent for a moment after hearing this: "We will set off in two days."

"Okay then." Elder Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly stood up.

Chujiu also stood up and looked at Fang Hao: "Fang Hao, arrange a place for Elder Liu to live."

Fang Hao nodded in response and left the house with Elder Liu.

Chujiu then sent Elder Liu to the door and turned back to the bed.

He sat on the edge of the bed without saying a word, just looking at Mo Xinglan with a strange expression.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Mo Xinglan curled his lips slightly.

She thought about it and hesitated for a while: "Well... when did you... become kind?"

"?" He tilted his head in confusion, but soon understood and smiled, "Is it not good for me to be kind?"

Chujiu shook his head: "It's not bad, it just doesn't feel like you."

I always feel like he has some purpose.

Mo Xinglan was stunned for a moment, then his eyebrows drooped slightly and his tone of voice became exceptionally gentle.

"I once hated Mo Hengsong, the Mo family, and even the entire Hualing. I didn't care about anything in the world except revenge. But it was this Hualing that I hated that brought me such a beautiful you. So now I want to start over and be kinder to everything in this world."

"!"

After hearing his words and looking at his gentle face, Chujiu took a breath and seriously suspected that there was something wrong with his ears or he was hallucinating. He could actually hear such words of enlightenment from the mouth of a black-hearted evildoer, and his tone and expression were too gentle. He was like a completely different person.

It was like he suddenly transformed from a murderous maniac into the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara. The contrast was too great.

Could it be that he was possessed by another spirit? Or that he had a fever and was talking nonsense?

"Xingxing?" she called out tentatively.

Mo Xinglan slowly raised his eyes, tilted his head and smiled at Qianqian: "Hmm?"

"?!" She gasped again when she saw his response.

I reached out and touched his forehead, only to feel it was cool. I felt that it was not accurate to use my hand to check the body temperature, so I held his face, moved closer to him and gently pressed my forehead against his. It was still cool, no fever.

After letting him go, she was worried and anxious, even terrified: "What happened to you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Xingxing, why did you suddenly turn into Guanyin Bodhisattva? Don't scare me!"

Mo Xinglan was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and laughed in a deep voice.

"What are you laughing at?" Chujiu looked confused.

Is this funny?

Mo Xinglan laughed for a while before stopping, panting and leaning back, tilting his head with a curled lip and raising his hand to rub her head: "Stupid, I'm teasing you."

It was never Hua Ling who brought her here, but Piao Miao. He should be thankful to Piao Miao. As for Hua Ling, he didn't hate her, but it was true that he didn't care.

He doesn't like Mo Jia or Hua Ling, whether in childhood or now.

But Liu Yue's matter was indeed of great importance, and he couldn't just ignore it, but it was also because of her. He wanted to give her a stable life, just like the rule of law society she once lived in.

Would this stop her from thinking about her family so often?

"Ah?" Chujiu stood there in a daze for a long time after hearing his words before coming back to his senses.

He raised his fingers, which were trembling slightly, and was very angry.

Mo Xinglan always had a smile on his face that couldn't be gentler.

This made Chujiu's anger dissipate, and in the end he could only purse his lips.

When I raised my eyes again, I stared at his face in a daze.

Come to think of it, he has really changed a lot.

I never thought he would be so gentle before, and I even thought he had nothing to do with gentleness. Today I found that he was so gentle that he was unbelievable, and he had no sharp eyes and hostility.

It was like it had transformed from a wild cat that was abused, full of malice and vigilance towards the world, into a docile and soft domestic cat.

It turns out that he is so beautiful when he puts away his anger. People can't help but look at him again and again, wanting to possess him as their own.

"Star……"

She called out softly, and unconsciously raised her hand to touch his face.

Mo Xinglan glanced at the hand and held it in his palm: "Hmm?"

Chujiu slowly leaned over and put her arms around his waist, carefully leaning against him: "Xingxing, I like you so much, I like you so much, I like you the most."

The sudden confession made Mo Xinglan stunned and his cheeks flushed.

He chuckled and hugged her: "Yeah."

The next day, in the pharmacy.

Chujiu looked at the alchemy furnace and other decorations in front of Mo Xinglan and hesitated: "Is Xingxing going to make an elixir?"

"Ah."

"Aren't there still Soul Gathering Pills and Soul Restoring Pills?"

After a pause, she said with some worry: "Also, refining the elixir takes a lot of energy. Can your body handle it? Don't force yourself."

Mo Xinglan prepared some materials and put them aside.

He turned around and smiled helplessly: "The Soul Gathering Pill and the Soul Restoring Pill are both eighth-grade and seventh-grade pills, do you think they are ordinary pills that can be eaten as candy?"

"Besides, what I refined this time was the Bone Shaping Pill, which can save my life when needed."

Chujiu's eyes lit up when he heard this: "What kind of medicine is that? Can I just take a bone-shaping pill when the bone curse strikes?"

Mo Xinglan paused and explained to her: "The Bone Shaping Pill is a ninth-grade healing pill. No matter how serious the injury is, as long as you take the Bone Shaping Pill and recuperate for a few days, you will be healed. It can also stop bleeding and relieve pain."

"Then if you take a few more bone-shaping pills, will all your injuries be healed?" Chujiu thought simply.

He shook his head helplessly: "It's not that simple. I have a bone curse on me, and the healing effect of the bone-shaping pill is useless to me. But only the bone-shaping pill can alleviate the severity of the bone curse."

"Oh." Chujiu pursed his lips, looking dejected.

Seeing that she was unhappy, Mo Xinglan softened his tone, "This is already a good result. At least I won't die because the bone curse becomes too strong one day, right?"

It's enough to save this life.

After hearing his words, Chujiu was still in a low mood and replied sullenly: "Yeah."
