Chapter 130
As Bai Bing’er pondered this, her gaze toward Meng Xiaoling grew heavier and heavier.
Meng Xiaoling felt as if Bai Bing’er could crush her with two fingers at any moment.
Of course, that was just her imagination, but it revealed the kind of person Bai Bing’er was to Meng Xiaoling.
“Meng Xiaoling, have you told anyone else about this?”
Meng Xiaoling quickly shook her head.
How could she go around telling others about Bai Bing’er?
Besides, she had only just heard Lin Tian’s inner voice.
Bai Bing’er nodded faintly and spoke softly.
“I understand. Don’t tell anyone else about this. Also, I forgot to mention—I like Lin Tian.”
Meng Xiaoling: “???”
…
Hearing Bai Bing’er’s words, Meng Xiaoling was completely dumbfounded.
She never expected that, after warning Bai Bing’er to stay away from Lin Tian because he had bad intentions toward her, she would hear Bai Bing’er say that she likes Lin Tian!
This is outrageous!
Meng Xiaoling stared blankly at Lin Tian and Bai Bing’er. A wave of overwhelming confusion surged in her heart.
She didn’t know what to do anymore.
Originally, after hearing Lin Tian’s inner voice, Meng Xiaoling had planned to share this secret with Bai Bing’er to “protect” her idol.
But now? It seemed like Bai Bing’er didn’t need her protection after all.
In fact, she probably wished Lin Tian had more of those so-called bad intentions toward her.
Could it be that Lin Tian said those things because he knew Bai Bing’er liked him?
But what about Shang Chan and Zhao Mengmeng?
Meng Xiaoling stiffly turned her gaze toward them—only to see the two of them wearing joyful, sweet expressions filled with trust and reliance!
Meng Xiaoling was completely stunned.
The main reason was that, after hearing Lin Tian’s inner voice, those two women had tried to restrain themselves, yet still couldn’t help sneaking glances at him.
The emotions in their eyes were clear even to someone as inexperienced as Meng Xiaoling!
Does that mean Bai Bing’er, Shang Chan, and Zhao Mengmeng all like Lin Tian?
Meng Xiaoling felt like her entire worldview had just collapsed.
What virtue or ability does Lin Tian have to deserve this?!
Confusion swirled in her mind as she failed to notice the tiny spark of curiosity she’d felt toward Lin Tian when she first heard his inner voice growing stronger.
The relationships between Bai Bing’er, Shang Chan, Zhao Mengmeng, and Lin Tian were like a catalyst for the tiny spark of curiosity in Meng Xiaoling’s heart, allowing it to grow into a towering tree in just a few minutes!
Of course, Meng Xiaoling was still unfamiliar with Lin Tian. It would seem strange to run over and question him now.
This pure-hearted girl decided to keep her doubts to herself for the time being and planned to learn more about this man slowly over time.
In the center of the hospital room, Xuan Yuan Qingya held out a cup of emerald green honey, bringing it to Lei Ming’s lips.
Zhao Yi’an, Shang Yan, Xuan Yuan Xing, and several elders from the Xuan Yuan family stood nearby, their brows furrowed as they silently observed.
Their frowns had a simple reason.
At first, emerald-green honey sounded poetic and dreamlike.
But the more Lei Ming looked at it, the more wrong it seemed.
Is it really safe to drink?
How many questionable ingredients were used to produce such a bizarre color?
People often associate the color green with one word: poison.
If Xuan Yuan Qingya hadn’t personally offered this honey, everyone would probably think it was an assassination attempt on Lei Ming.
Just look at that cup of emerald-green Honey Spirit Essence. Didn’t it look eerily similar to the “Crane’s Crown Red” poison that emperors used to give out in ancient times?
Ultimately, Zhao Yi’an could no longer hold back.
After all, he was a doctor, and compassion was in his nature. Seeing Xuan Yuan Qingya pour an unknown liquid into Lei Ming’s mouth made him uneasy.
“Um, Miss Qingya, what kind of medicine is this? Could you tell me?”
At that moment, Xuan Yuan Qingya was busy instructing someone to prop Lei Ming up slightly. Without looking back, she replied casually.
“This is the ‘miracle elixir’ I told you about. My Fourth Uncle drank this, too.”
Since the Spirit Essence itself wasn’t present, Xuan Yuan Qingya didn’t mind revealing a drop of Honey Spirit Essence Water.
For a moment, everyone was stunned.
Was Lei Ming not the only “victim”? Xuan Yuan Chen was too.
Zhao Yi’an hesitated for a few seconds before muttering,
“Miss Qingya, are you absolutely sure about this? This stuff doesn’t look like any proper medicine. How about we run a quick test first?”
As the Xuan Yuan family’s resident physician, Zhao Yi’an had access to the best testing instruments and equipment.
However, Qingya didn’t believe that ordinary instruments could analyze Spirit Essence.
Moreover, she didn’t want to risk exposing the Spirit Essence, so she refused immediately.
“Don’t worry. There won’t be any problem.”
Xuan Yuan Qingya earned the complete trust of the entire Xuan Yuan family, including Zhao Yi’an, through her years of unwavering effort.
Although he was still uneasy about the emerald-green liquid, he didn’t say anything more.
If the young lady said it worked, then it must work!
Before long, Lei Ming was propped up, and Xuan Yuan Qingya brought the cup of honey spirit essence water to his lips.
The moment his slightly parched lips touched the green liquid, the entire contents of the cup vanished in an instant—as if his mouth had turned into a water pump.
…
It might not be the best comparison, but the speed at which the liquid disappeared was eerie, to say the least!
The main issue was that no one had seen Lei Ming swallow. He was still unconscious, so even if he wanted to, he couldn’t swallow!
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
However, Xuan Yuan Qingya couldn’t be bothered to explain. She had told everyone from the start that it was a “miracle elixir” precisely so they wouldn’t keep asking questions.
What was there to ask?
Wasn’t it perfectly normal for a miracle elixir to have some unusual effects?
While many were filled with doubt and tension, Xuan Yuan Qingya was the first to relax.
She instructed the others to lay Lei Ming flat again. All that was left was to wait for the Spirit Essence to take effect.
According to Lin Tian’s inner voice, this Spirit Essence was much more than just a cure for illness.
Once the effect fully manifested, even a single drop would likely greatly enhance the physical constitution of Lei Ming and Xuan Yuan Chen.
Xuan Yuan Chen and Lei Ming were the elders that Xuan Yuan Qingya respected the most. Now that she could do this for them, she was overjoyed.
Of course, she hadn’t forgotten that it was all thanks to Lin Tian.
Without him, she wouldn’t even be considering saving her fourth uncle and Lei Ming.
At the auction house, she might have secretly been humiliated by Jiang Yifeng’s despicable schemes.
Afterwards, her fourth uncle could have gotten into serious trouble, and Lei Ming might have died from his hidden illness.
In that scenario, though, Jiang Yifeng probably would have stepped in to “save” them.
But why would Jiang Yifeng help without reason?
It would come at Xuan Yuan Qingya’s expense.
Even if Jiang Yifeng did intervene, his methods would likely be no match for the power of Spirit Essence.
Xuan Yuan Qingya felt an even deeper sense of gratitude toward Lin Tian as she thought this.
In fact, her feelings weren’t just gratitude—they were pride and sweetness.
After all, Lin Tian had given her a promise.
In Xuan Yuan Qingya’s heart, she had long considered herself Lin Tian’s woman.
Her man was strong enough to help her save the two elders she respected most: her Fourth Uncle and Elder Lei. How could she not feel proud?
Of course, his strength did not lie in brute force, but rather in his foresight and ability to act before others did.
…
After finishing with Lei Ming, Xuan Yuan Qingya ordered Zhao Yi’an and the other doctors to assign a few people to conduct a thorough examination of him.
Everyone was astonished when the test results came out!
In just a few minutes, Lei Ming’s body showed signs of improvement.
Xuan Yuan Chen had previously been in good health, but he had an undetectable heart rate issue.
Even after drinking the Honey Spirit Essence Water, there was no visible change in the short term. In fact, he had to remain unconscious for a while to fully absorb it.
But Lei Ming was different!
Although he had been a soldier, he was still an old man.
An elderly body declines in every aspect of its function.
If the average physical fitness of a typical adult were rated at 10, Lei Ming’s would be about 6—and that’s only because he used to be a soldier!
Yet, in just a few minutes, his overall physical condition rose from a 6 to a 6.5!
The increase wasn’t huge, but the speed of the improvement was terrifying!
Furthermore, after further examination, Zhao Yi’an and the other doctors found that Lei Ming’s chronic ailment, which had plagued him for so long, was now healing.
Zhao Yi’an nearly yanked his own beard out in excitement when he realized this!
At that moment, nothing else mattered to him. He rushed over to Xuan Yuan Qingya, his expression filled with barely contained excitement.
“Miss Qingya, what kind of medicine did you just give to Elder Lei? How can it be so miraculous?”
“Do you realize? If this medicine could be mass-produced, it could give humanity hope of slowing down aging. The average human lifespan could increase by decades!”
Zhao Yi’an was delirious with excitement—the effect of the Spirit Essence was astonishing. For someone like Lei Ming, the results were practically instantaneous.
Xuan Yuan Qingya pressed her lips together, her gaze quietly drifting toward Lin Tian, who was standing behind the crowd.
Then, she smiled softly and said in a gentle voice, “This medicine can’t be mass-produced. It’s a miracle given to me by someone.”
That someone was Lin Tian.
