C44 Dinner
After chatting for a while, Zhou Xuanling had a bad feeling about this.
"Son-in-law, didn't you want to talk to me over dinner?"
Seeing his benevolent look, Zhou Xuanling couldn't help but secretly mock him. If he wanted to ask, he could just say it.
But it was not the time to be suspenseful, Zhou Xuanling cleared his throat and laughed.
"Actually, you aren't really that sick. Even when you come to the hospital, the doctor would only tell you to rest more. A disease that has accumulated energy is really hard to cure in a short period of time.
It can only be said that you usually worry too much about the root of your illness, and the pill in the bottle I gave you was specially made for you. I can't guarantee anything about the rest, but as long as you continue to take it, it will definitely get you cured within a week. "
Zhou Xuanling said with a face full of confidence. When everyone present heard this, their eyes were filled with surprise.
"Tsk, it's just a pill."
Because no one spoke the moment I said those words, the air became abnormally quiet. These words seemed abnormally sudden. Everyone's eyes immediately focused on the source of the voice.
This person was precisely the man who had wanted to chat with Zhou Xuanling earlier, but was treated coldly by everyone just now, so when he was stared at like this, his face unconsciously flushed red.
Zhou Xuanling was not anxious either, smiling faintly as he looked at Shangguan Wuji.
"Grandfather, you can open the bottle again and eat one. Even if you are unable to compete, it will definitely make you feel conspicuous."
Shangguan Wuji smiled and nodded. He had wanted to eat this for a long time, but he didn't have the chance to during the banquet just now.
He called for a servant to help him get the bottle of medicine. The moment he opened the lid, the medicinal fragrance instantly filled the air.
Everyone, even those who were not sick, felt their hearts and souls refreshing at that moment. One had to know that this was only the fragrance of medicine. They had not even eaten a pill yet.
There were also people like this in the other clans. If not for the old tutor, they might have wanted to ask for these two.
Seeing that Shangguan Wuji also seemed to be enjoying it, Shangguan Zhi still could not help but speak in a sour tone.
"What if your diagnosis is wrong and the drug backfired?"
Zhou Xuanling was also not polite, after looking at him with a smile that was not a smile, he said with a bit of ridicule.
"Then do you not believe your grandpa's judgement or do you not believe your grandpa's trust?"
Zhou Xuanling's words were extremely sharp, he directly choked on Shangguan Zhi, but couldn't say anything, his face alternated between green and white.
This sentence was not good no matter how he replied. Both sides were blocked.
Shangguan Qiushui gently turned Zhou Xuanling's clothes, indicating that it was enough.
Zhou Xuanling also used his hands to pat her claws, indicating that he knew how to behave.
"Grandfather, you try it first." Shangguan Qiushui also laughed and said, maybe in everyone's eyes, Shangguan Qiushui's smile was only for her grandfather.
Shangguan Wuji nodded, and poured out a pill from the bottle, but couldn't help but exclaim.
"It's smooth and round, without any residue at all. High-grade medicinal pills, ah."
In the face of such praise, Zhou Xuanling did not say a word and only smiled faintly.
Shangguan Wuji immediately placed the pill into the corner of his mouth, and after entering his mouth, it melted. The warmth spread throughout his body in an instant, to the point where Shangguan Wuji let out a snort of pleasure.
After a long moment, he opened his eyes, unable to conceal the joy on his face.
Even his voice sounded a little agitated.
"Mystical spirit, how did you refine this medicine?" This … this medicinal effect is simply too amazing. "
Looking at the excited old Shangguan Wuji, Zhou Xuanling laughed, stood up and bowed.
"As long as you like it."
He was neither humble nor haughty, and everyone looked at him in a different light. The old man's expression was not the same as when he pretended to be excited. It clearly showed just how powerful this medicine was.
"There's no need to be so formal. Come, sit."
When he looked at Zhou Xuanling, there was already admiration from the start to the end in Shangguan Wuji's eyes. This child, has truly given me too many surprises.
Shangguan Qiushui also never thought that Zhou Xuanling would actually gift him such a gift, and with such a huge reaction.
When she saw his gaze, she felt it was a bit complicated. Although this man loved money, he did indeed have some abilities.
Zhou Xuanling smiled.
"Grandfather, you're too kind. I wonder if you think Qiu Shui is with me?"
"Relax, relax. How can I possibly not? "I was worried about Qiushui this girl's marriage, but with you here, I won't have to worry about it anymore."
When everyone heard this, they sucked in a cold breath of air. The meaning of the sentence could be described as obvious, as they wanted to betroth Shangguan Qiushui to Zhou Xuanling.
He wasn't talking about marriage, he was talking about marriage.
It was just a bottle of medicine, how could it have such great power?
glared at me with a bit of anger. Whether or not I'm blaming myself for speaking too much, I looked at Shangguan Wuji with a slightly embarrassed tone.
"Grandfather, look at what you're talking about."
"How old are you and you're still shy? Leave it to him, Grandfather. Oh right, I haven't asked what are you doing."
Zhou Xuanling directly returned the script back to its original form, which made everyone praise him.
"Good, good, good. Come and sit down quickly. Don't stay any longer. Tonight, the two of you will come to my room to have a chat. Let's start eating now."
After Zhou Xuanling sat down, his forehead instantly became covered in sweat, and he fiercely glared at Shangguan Qiushui who was at the side.
This woman was really vicious. Wasn't she just casually saying a few words? As for pinching himself so viciously.
The small hand by my waist is still exerting itself continuously. I endured it and didn't make a sound. Forget it, I don't want to bicker with a woman.
Shangguan Qiushui's beautiful eyes also glared at me, as if she was expressing her dissatisfaction with me.
"Come, let me toast you. I wish you good luck like the East Sea and a life longer than Nanshan."
"Let me also toast you. May the sun and the moon shine together, and the spring and autumn remain the same."
"…"
"…"
Following that was a wave of blessings, Shangguan Wuji only nodded his head to say yes, and laughed the entire time.
Zhou Xuanling was suspecting that his mouth wouldn't start laughing so much, but he really couldn't like this kind of atmosphere.
Fortunately, after an hour of such a banquet, it had finally ended.
After exiting the door, Zhou Xuanling couldn't help but stretch out as he took in a deep breath of fresh air.
He no longer wished to participate in the battles between the great clans.
