Of course he wouldn't say anything about what he had promised, so the second elder shook his head and said: "No, as far as I know she didn't go out to look for the jade-colored grass... We all know that the jade-colored grass is very difficult to find.

Even if she wants to find it, it's not that easy."

Knowing this, Zhong Lichen was unsure, otherwise he wouldn't have asked the second elder if he knew about it.

Zhong Lichen thought for a long time alone in the room, but still couldn't figure out what it was. He stood up, looked at the bowl of medicine, hesitated for a long time, and drank it.

He wanted to know what herbs were added to it, but he would never doubt Chu Qingkuang's feelings for him.

"It's better to ask the second elder." Zhong Lichen said to himself in his heart. Since there is no result in thinking alone, then go and ask the second elder. The second elder has been with them these days, he must be

Know something.

Zhong Lichen was not a procrastinator, so he immediately stood up and walked towards the door.

The second elder had also gotten up early at this time. When Zhong Lichen found him, the second elder was having a meal.

Zhong Lichen walked up to the second elder and said, "Second elder."

"Li Chen..." The second elder did not expect that he would come to see him so early in the morning, so he said with a smile: "Have you eaten? Sit down."

Zhong Lichen sat down as he said and said with respect: "No need, elder, I've already eaten."

"Oh?" The second elder looked up at him doubtfully. Since he came to see him after dinner, he must have something to say. So he put down his chopsticks and prepared to listen to what Zhong Lichen would say next.

words.

Zhong Lichen knew what the second elder meant, so he spoke directly and said, "Second elder, I came here to ask you a question. Did you say last time... that only Yu Yancao can cure the acne on my face?"

hurt?"

This was obviously a question, and the second elder nodded, "Yes, only Yuyan grass can heal the wounds on your face. Apart from this herb, other medicines are almost useless." Yuyan was mentioned.

Damn it, the second elder can probably guess why Zhong Lichen said this. It seems that it must be related to Chu Qingkuang. And Zhong Lichen also has doubts about this matter.

"Then you know, has Qing Kuang been out in the past few days?" Zhong Lichen was afraid that the second elder would get in trouble with him, so he said directly: "Has she gone to find the Jade Yan Grass?"

The second elder remembered Chu Qingkuang's words. She had come to him secretly and emphasized this matter. If Zhong Lichen came to her in the future to ask about Jade Yancao, he must refuse and say that she did not go to find that person.

Herbs.

Of course he wouldn't say anything about what he had promised, so the second elder shook his head and said: "No, as far as I know she didn't go out to look for the jade-colored grass... We all know that the jade-colored grass is very difficult to find.

Even if she wants to find it, it's not that easy."

Knowing this, Zhong Lichen was unsure, otherwise he wouldn't have asked the second elder if he knew about it.

The second elder's answer made him feel relieved. Zhong Lichen only wanted to know one result. He would not feel lost or sad because Chu Qingkuang did not find medicine for himself. On the contrary, he did not want Chu Qingkuang to fight the snake demon for himself.

In exchange, he knew that the requirements of the snake demon would not be low.

"That's good, I'm relieved..." Zhong Lichen felt relieved instantly. He breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to himself.

This sentence happened to be heard by the second elder with sensitive ears. The second elder looked at him and couldn't help but feel very emotional in his heart, but the second elder did not show it on his face.

Today's young people are so entangled. One does something and doesn't want the other to know, and the other doesn't want the other to do that thing. Both of them are too independent and too proud. If it keeps going like this, I'm afraid

It's very dangerous to be together in the end.

Emotional matters are like this, there is no certainty. The second elder doesn't know whether they will really be together in the end, but he still wants to give them some advice and guidance.

He looked at Zhong Lichen and said to him: "Lichen, I have something to tell you."

Seeing that the second elder spoke so seriously, Zhong Lichen hurriedly listened attentively. He could not guess what the second elder was going to tell him now.

"Second Elder, please speak." Zhong Lichen spoke politely.

The second elder nodded appreciatively, and then said: "I hope you can pay more attention to the people around you, especially those who are kind to you, and remember to cherish the people in front of you..."

Cherish the people in front of you? Zhong Lichen didn't know why the second elder would suddenly say such things to him. He frowned in confusion, "Second elder, why did you say this? Can you say it more clearly? Please

Forgive me for not understanding this very well."

It couldn't be more clear. It can only be said that Zhong Lichen is really a bit dull emotionally. Maybe it's not that he is dull, but he just doesn't know his thoughts clearly enough.

The second elder then said, "I have made it very clear. As for the rest, you have to think about it yourself. Whether you can think about it clearly is up to you, but remember, don't wait until you lose it.

Regret..." If we wait until after the loss, everything will be too late. Speaking of this, the second elder seemed to express a bit of sentimentality.

Zhong Lichen couldn't understand what the second elder said more and more. He didn't know what he had done. The second elder actually wanted to say such things to him.

Could it be that there was such a person around him? Zhong Lichen was puzzled. In fact, he knew that Chu Qingkuang was around him, but he just didn't think of it.

The second elder was in the house, looking at Zhong Lichen's back as he walked further and further away. He sighed and shook his head. He was quite optimistic about Zhong Lichen. He had always been a very capable person. The waves behind the Yangtze River pushed the waves ahead. His ability was not

If he can compare with him, the second elder naturally hopes that he will be well, so he mentioned this to him today.

As for the future path, it depends on how he goes.

Zhong Lichen walked out of the second elder's room, full of questions.

At this time, the sun had completely come out, and Zhong Lichen was not in a hurry to return to his room. He planned to walk around the village, see the scenery that he could not usually see, and learn about some people and things.

He stopped by a small river, intending to take in the scenery and breathe some fresh air.

Nangong Xichao happened to come here.

Nangong Xichao did not expect that he would meet Zhong Lichen by the river. He himself did not like Zhong Lichen. Thinking of the relationship between Zhong Lichen and Chu Qingkuang, he became very angry.

Chu Qingkuang not only informed the second elder and told the second elder not to reveal that she went out to find Yuyancao for Zhong Lichen, she also told Nangong Xichao.

She knew that Nangong Xichao's temper could not help but threaten and ridicule Zhong Lichen because of this matter, so she emphasized it specially. However, when Nangong Xichao saw Zhong Lichen, her resentment towards him became even greater.

.

"Why are you here?" Nangong Xichao looked at Chu Qingkuang with a very unfriendly expression, and his tone was also unkind.

Zhong Lichen frowned. Although his relationship with Nangong Xichao was not that of a brother, he would certainly feel strange to be spoken to in such an inexplicable manner.

But thinking about what happened to Nangong Xichao and Chu Qingkuang, it was impossible that the person in front of him had no resentment against him. Besides, Zhong Lichen could still feel the desire emanating from Nangong Xichao's eyes.

"I just came out from the second elder's place and passed by the river to take a look at the scenery. Nangong, why are you here again?" Zhong Lichen tried his best to keep his tone calm and maintain his air of being refreshed by the spring breeze.

Nangong Xichao saw this, so there was no need to be angry with him.

Then he remembered what the second elder had said before, telling him to cherish the person in front of him. He had not thought about who it was. Now his whole mind was still on what the second elder had said to him before, and he wanted to think about what the problem was.

"It's very comfortable for you to enjoy the scenery." Nangong Xichao ignored the concession in his tone and remained unyielding. He paused and said again: "Zhong Lichen, you are enjoying the scenery here.

Do you know what kind of price others have paid because of you? How much effort has been spent?" Nangong Xi looked at Zhong Lichen's face.

Pang, the scars on his face have almost recovered, and there is even more pain in his heart. He can't help but think back to those words that Chu Qingkuang said to him that day, those decisive words. Maybe he shouldn't have done that before, but as

Chu Qingkuang's power is now slowly increasing, and she is no longer the little girl he protected before.

Why does Chu Qingkuang treat Zhong Lichen so well now? Doesn't she know that using her own blood is equivalent to twisting his heart? However, he will never give up on Chu Qingkuang, and he will never let Zhong Lichen go.

of!

Zhong Lichen immediately felt that something was wrong. He put aside his previous grudges with Nangong Xichao and asked with a frown: "What do you mean by that? Who paid the price for me?" Even though he never figured it out, he knew it must be.

Someone has done something for him. According to Nangong Xichao's attitude, the only one he can care about is Chu Qingkuang!

Could it be that Chu Qingkuang did something for herself? Zhong Lichen's heart suddenly lifted, and she took a step forward, "Nangong Xichao, speak!"

Nangong Xichao tugged his lips lightly. Now he realizes something is wrong. Don't you think it's too late? Although he has promised Chu Qingkuang not to tell this matter, he really doesn't want to see Zhong Lichen acting like a matter of course. He is here

It was very comfortable here, and I never knew what Chu Qingkuang had paid for him.

Every time he thought about this incident, he couldn't help but feel jealous. Yes, it was jealous. He even thought that it would be great if the injured person was himself, then maybe Chu Qingkuang would do these things for himself!

"I won't tell you, you can go find it yourself!" Nangong Xichao finally did not tell Zhong Lichen all about it.

He knew very well that if he said this matter today, it would undoubtedly enhance the relationship between Zhong Lichen and Chu Qingkuang, but even so, he still wanted to say it, because even if he didn't say it, Zhong Lichen's intelligence would make him aware of it in the future.

Guess it.

But he wouldn't tell the whole story, just to punish Zhong Lichen for taking care of him as a matter of course. Nangong just didn't want to tell him the thing that made him jealous and crazy.

"You!" Zhong Lichen was very angry, and he felt more and more that something was wrong with the whole thing. The more Nangong Xichao didn't say anything, the more he wanted to know what was going on.

However, Nangong Xichao would not give him another chance to press him. After saying this, Nangong Xichao immediately turned around and left the river, heading towards the room where he lived.

If Zhong Lichen really wants to know the facts, then go ask Chu Qingkuang himself! He won't care anyway! But according to Chu Qingkuang's temperament, will he explain the matter? Nangong Xichao shook his head and said according to what he said

She would never tell her what she knew.

Seeing Nangong Xichao leaving his sight, Zhong Lichen did not catch up in the end. He almost knew who this matter was pointing to. The person in front of him that Elder Zhang mentioned was probably the person Nangong Xichao said would have to pay for him.

The people who paid the price are all the same person! That person is Chu Qingkuang!

When he thought of all this, he turned around and left the river and walked towards his room. He would figure out what this matter was!

As the days passed, Zhong Lichen's injuries gradually improved. In the past few days, Zhong Lichen began to feel a little more comfortable in wielding the sword and using his internal power, and was not as cramped and painful as he was not long ago.

"Come, let me see your face." Chu Qingkuang walked into Zhong Lichen's room with a medicine bowl and said to Zhong Lichen in an extremely soft voice. Even she was a little frightened by her own gentleness.

Zhong Lichen couldn't help but frown, feeling unhappy in his heart. Not long ago, the strange behavior between the second elder and Nangong Xichao had made Zhong Lichen very unhappy, as if he really owed Chu Qingkuang a lot. But then again, he was not true.

She owes a lot to Chu Qingkuang. Just the fact that she works hard to take care of herself and prepare medicine for herself every day is already very impressive. But about the second elder and Nangong Xichao

Zhong Lichen, who gently lifted his veil, couldn't help but feel funny when he saw the nervousness on Chu Qingkuang's face. He twitched his lips and said to Chu Qingkuang: "What's wrong? Are you so afraid that I will hold you responsible?"

?Or are you worried that your man, I, can’t regain my original beauty?”
