As a grandson, Qin Zhen would always go to his grandfather's assistant for help. Even if there was something urgent, the assistant would convey the message on his behalf. He only answered the phone in person a few times.

"Not sure." Chu Peining shook his head slightly.

She is not familiar with Mo Peiyun.

That man is full of secrets, making people want to peel off his handsome appearance and see how much is hidden inside.

But she was afraid to dig too deep, and her relationship with him became closer and closer. The two of them became entangled, and in the end they owed too much, so she went to look for him for the rest of her life.

"Brother?" Zou Tong paused holding the tripe in his hand and tilted his head in confusion: "You have a brother?"

Chu Peining said calmly: "Guardian, the identity of brother is self-proclaimed by him."

Zou Tong was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, his eyes lit up, "Oh, so that's it."

Apart from that rich sponsor, who else could be her guardian?

Chu Peining glanced at her and said nothing, allowing her to misunderstand.

No matter how he explained, Zou Tong was unwilling to believe that there was nothing innocent between them.

Without getting the answer he wanted, Qin Zhen drove away after dinner.

Zou Tong came over and gently bumped Chu Peining's shoulder, "How come you are so lucky? Not only are there so many handsome guys around you, but you also have money."

Chu Peining took a step back, leaving her empty-handed and causing her to stumble.

"Let's go, we still need to go buy groceries."

Since it was about food, Zou Tong stopped joking and rode his bike to the supermarket.

Looking at the pile of fresh ingredients and imagining the delicious food in the future, I felt very happy.

Across the street, the man in the black Maybach seemed to have noticed something, looked up in surprise, and turned his gaze to the window.

Through the one-way glass, I could clearly see the girl over there. She was wearing a clean school uniform, her ponytail tied up high, and she was holding shopping bags in both hands. She looked very well-behaved.

He looked different from when I first met him.

What is even more worrying is the thick black aura around her, which has faded a little after not seeing her for a few days.

The girl seemed to sense something, and glanced over here inadvertently, looking at him from a distance.

I could hear Zou Tong's inappropriate complaints.

"How can we get back so many things?"

It's her fault for not thinking it through. In today's situation, buses and subways are more convenient than riding a motorcycle.

Chu Peining turned around and asked, "Who told you to buy so much at once?"

"I'm just greedy." Zou Tong smiled embarrassedly.

As a person who has no good cooking skills, it is normal for me to break things in the kitchen, and in serious cases it can even lead to a disaster.

Normally at home, I live on instant noodles, and only when the teacher is around can I have a hot home-cooked meal.

But he went on a business trip abroad and was away for two months, so Zou Tong had to make do with him for two months and sometimes even forgot to eat.

Since she finally had someone to cook for her, of course she had to eat a lot to make up for the time she had spent eating instant noodles.

Seeing that Chu Peining was too weak, Zou Tong volunteered to bear a large part of the weight. The things in Chu Peining's bag were just bulky but actually very light.

Although he carried less weight, he was still a few steps behind her.

Zou Tong walked to the front of the motorcycle, tried to hang the things in his hand on the handlebars, and glanced back.

"What are you dawdling about?"

Chu Peining did not respond, but just looked at the opposite side indifferently.

The car door opened and an elegant and handsome man stepped out.

He was still wearing his Zhongshan suit, and with every step he took, he exuded an extremely powerful aura, which easily caught the attention of people around him, making people feel awe and afraid to approach him.

Xi Luobai slowly landed in front of Chu Peining and smiled gently, "Miss Chu, we meet again."

A smile spread across her eyes and brows, like a gentle spring breeze that dispelled the coldness and made her surrounded by warmth.

Zou Tong, who was still worrying about how to bring the ingredients back, was stunned and didn't even notice that the shopping bag had fallen.

Chu Peining raised her eyes and raised her eyebrows.

"Are you looking for me?"

She didn't know what the Xi family had become now, but with Xi Luobai's strength, it would be easy for him to find her, and his name was probably figured out.

In the past, Chu Peining was able to use his own abilities to shield the magnetic field on his body, making it impossible for them to find him.

Not now.

Her strength has not yet recovered, and she can't even see some things clearly, let alone change.

Xi Luobai shook his head, "You and I are destined to meet again."

"is it?"

When they first met, Chu Peining's attention was on the two warriors and he did not investigate further.

After his reminder, I looked again and found that there was indeed a thread belonging to her. It was not very obvious and was not deeply entangled with the main thread. It was a connection that only appeared when they met last time.

Fate is a very subtle thing, and is mostly the result of karma from previous lives.

All Chu Peining could see were the connections that already existed in this life.

But fate is an illusory thing that can only be discovered through perception.

Unfortunately, because it involves her past life, she is unable to find out with her current mental strength.

Xi Luobai was incredibly talented, and he must have noticed it when he first saw her, which was why he approached her and started a conversation with her.

Chu Peining withdrew his gaze.

While she was checking, she saw a white medicine bottle in front of her. It was made of porcelain, and the body of the bottle was painted with a bright red pattern in cinnabar.

Xi Luobai leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice: "The medicine inside can help you recover quickly."

He knew the reason why Chu Peining was weak. If he wanted to make up for his weakness, he had to get rid of the evil spirit in his body.

When he got closer, he found that the thick black aura surrounding her was automatically dissipating bit by bit, which was quite unexpected.

He thought that some opportunity had weakened her evil spirit, but now it seems that the girl in front of him can get rid of the evil spirit and does not need his help.

Speaking of elixirs, they are the prerequisite for the development of Chinese medicine.

Today's elixirs benefit from ancient alchemy. Because of their healing effects that transcend those of ordinary medicinal herbs, they were regarded as miraculous in ancient times.

Many emperors went to great lengths to find sorcerers from all over the world just to obtain an elixir of immortality.

Life and death are predetermined, and mortals cannot interfere.

The alchemists who made elixirs for the emperors added a lot of minerals in the delusion that they could achieve quick results, but in the end, many emperors died from the elixirs.

For thousands of years, the art of alchemy has been mostly passed down orally, and not many monographs have been circulated in the world.

In modern times, it is almost lost.

The Xi family has been passed down for thousands of years, and there are many ancient books and secret methods in the clan.

As they are a Feng Shui family, alchemy is a skill they must master.

Chu Peining took it slowly, and the moment she opened it, a faint fragrance wafted over, and the tip of her nose was enveloped by the aroma of medicine, which was refreshing.

There were five yellow-brown pills lying inside.

It is indeed a medicine that strengthens the physical body and nourishes and replenishes the body.

But she didn't take it and handed it back, her politeness revealing a sense of coldness.

"Thank you, but I don't like accepting things from others for no reason."

Xi Luobai could see that she understood the art of Feng Shui and was well aware of her concerns.

Instead of taking it back, he persuaded her to accept it.

"Don't worry, our entanglement was destined in the last life, it's just that our fate has not yet ended. In the last life, I owed you."
