Chapter 50: You Are Not In Exile You Are Clearly Traveling!
Chapter 50: Contract (Fourth Update!)
Chen Yuan and his wife witnessed the scene where Chen Xue dripped blood and inserted the glowing sphere into the Hai Dong Qing, and they were amazed.
Although the couple had seen many of Chen Xue's miraculous methods and even visited so-called immortal realms, they were still surprised by the glowing sphere.
Before their exile, their family had never encountered such things. However, after their exile, they discovered the existence of immortals and various miraculous methods, which completely overturned their worldview.
Suddenly, Chen Yuan felt guilty. His daughter had such great potential, but because of him, she had been exiled.
If not for the exile, she would be a wealthy young lady, and their family business alone would be enough for her. She wouldn't need to curry favor with Captain Sun for medicinal herbs as she did now.
Regardless, he was determined to protect his daughter at all costs. With her extraordinary opportunities, she would surely have a bright future. He didn't care about his own well-being; he only wished for his daughter's happiness.
Chen Xue, unaware of her parents' presence, focused solely on Xiaoqing. She spent 10 contribution points to exchange for healing medicine and applied it to Xiaoqing's wounds.
Since she had plenty of contribution points now, she indulged herself without hesitation. She found that the healing medicine produced by the system worked wonders, as Xiaoqing's wing injuries healed in the blink of an eye.
Flapping its wings, Xiaoqing took off and created a refreshing breeze that cooled Chen Xue.
"Go on, have fun!" Chen Xue waved to Xiaoqing as she sensed its joy.
Carefully avoiding Chen Yuan and Madam Chen, Xiaoqing flew out of the carriage with Chen Yuan helping it open the curtain.
With a swoosh, Xiaoqing disappeared before their eyes, soaring into the sky.
"Chirp!"
The group heard a long chirp from the sky, and when they looked again, they only saw a shadow.
"Truly a Hai Dong Qing!" Chen Yuan exclaimed, admiring its grace even in its youth.
"By the way, Xiao Xue, aren't you worried it won't come back?" Chen Yuan asked curiously. After all, Xiaoqing had just been brought back, and they weren't completely familiar with each other yet. Although Xiaoqing's rapid recovery didn't surprise him anymore, he still wondered about its loyalty.
"Didn't you see what Xiao Xue did just now? She dared to let Xiaoqing out, so she must be confident," Madam Chen rebuked him, annoyed by his questioning.
Chen Yuan chuckled awkwardly and didn't dare to argue.
Meanwhile, Kuang Wei and the others gathered together, still disturbed by the fact that Chen Xue knew their secret.
"First, we need to figure out what kind of method she used," Kuang Wei said, realizing that the others hadn't witnessed the scene and quickly explained.
"This..."
The others were dumbfounded. What kind of method was this? They had never heard of such a thing! Once spoken, words were like spilled water; there was no taking them back. Moreover, they had never disclosed their own secrets.
Hearing his own voice echoing in his ears, revealing his biggest secret, Kuang Wei felt like he was seeing a ghost.
Thinking of ghosts, they remembered the eerie rabbits they had encountered in the forest. At that time, they suspected the rabbits were possessed.
They were also curious why they hadn't died when those eerie rabbits approached Chen Xue's group. Now, they couldn't help but wonder if Chen Xue had been possessed by those strange rabbits!
The thought sent shivers down their spines, and their desire for revenge against Chen Xue waned. Now, they just wanted to stay away from her.
"What nonsense!" Kuang Wei was annoyed. He had called them here to find a solution, not to shake their resolve. "It's broad daylight; there's no such thing as ghosts."
"Cough, cough, cough!" One of them coughed, reminding them, "Wei Ge, it's already evening."
It was already dusk when they confronted Chen Xue and the others earlier, and now it was almost dark.
Kuang Wei felt embarrassed and glared at them. "Useless fools! I'll go find Zhao Guang for information."
He remembered hearing that Zhao Guang had tried to please the Chen family despite their previous conflicts. He thought that, like him, Zhao Guang might have been caught by Chen Xue.
He needed to find out if Zhao Guang had any useful clues.
While the others resigned themselves, Kuang Wei went to find Zhao Guang. Zhao Guang was in a good mood since he had managed to please the Chen family earlier and had received the antidote from Chen Xue.
However, it was only a temporary remedy, and he needed to continue taking it every seven days to suppress the toxin.
Therefore, he didn't bother to ingratiate himself with the Chen family further. He was enjoying his leisure time and didn't see the need to please them for now.
When Kuang Wei approached him, Zhao Guang could tell from his manner that something was amiss. He was reminded of the inexplicable method he had encountered before.
If he weren't poisoned, he might have tried to capture the Chen family and use them for leverage. But now, all he could do was obey.
Hearing Kuang Wei's story, Zhao Guang suddenly felt relieved.
Finally, someone else was suffering like him.
"Wait?" Zhao Guang suddenly remembered something and furrowed his brow. "You're not poisoned?"
"Poisoned?" Kuang Wei's heart skipped a beat, his face turning pale. "What are you talking about? What poison?"
At the same time, he felt anxious. Could it be that he was poisoned, but he didn't know? Why did Zhao Guang suddenly ask him this?
Seeing Kuang Wei's bewildered expression, Zhao Guang sighed and wore a regretful expression.
"Prepare for the worst," he said.
