The Empress is still on the run

☆、Chapter 81

But after Qin Lou finished those words, Xiao Wan also found that her father has been busy again recently. He was also busy when he was the chief judge before, but he was not so busy.

Before, Dad would come back every few days to check on him, check his condition, and discuss with him the gains and losses in the game, but since the last time he discussed what Qin Lou said with Dad, he hasn't seen him for a long time. Came back, don't know why.

When contacting the previous events, Xiao Wan felt strange, and was afraid that the adults had not told him something.

But when he met Uncle Shen Guan later, when he mentioned this matter, Uncle Shen patiently explained it to him.

"Xiaowan doesn't know. When the competition is about to end, there are still a lot of things to do. It is much more troublesome than before. Moreover, the alchemist competition was less attended by Xueman before. Zong Manluo is usually in charge, but these few days Zong Manluo didn't know what to do, Xueman was going to take care of the alchemist competition," Shen Guan sighed, "he is running on both sides, busy with his feet, if Xiaowan has anything, come to me Well, your father didn't mean not to go back to see you."

Xiao Wan expressed her understanding and said, "It's okay, I just know what Daddy is doing, I can take care of myself."

After Shen Guan told him this, he looked at Xiao Wan's state again, and made sure that he was really fine, so he left in a hurry, looking too busy.

Xiao Xueman was really busy recently, and Qin Lou couldn't even find him.

There are too many incidents between the two of them, after so many experiences, Qin Lou has gotten used to it.

But he also felt that things were not as simple as what Shen Guan said. He went to two arenas and hadn't seen anyone these few days. He said that he was late, and Xiao Xueman had just gone to another arena, and said He has something to do now, and he is having a short meeting with other judges to discuss some details of the judging rules.

It's fine once or twice like this, Qin Lou can't just make trouble because he can't see anyone at this time, but after a long time, it's obviously not that simple.

Qin Lou became more and more anxious, he was afraid that Xiao Xueman would do something because of the prophecy.

Just when he was about to do something, Yun Heng came to him.

When Yun Heng came over, he didn't talk too much nonsense, and asked him straight to the point what he wanted.

"Is the Huiling Talisman you got from Yaozu still there?" he asked.

"Yes." Xiao Xueman refused to accept it at that time, so Qin Lou kept it with him, waiting for the next opportunity, and still wanted to give it to him, "What's wrong?"

"Don't look at me with that vigilant expression," Yun Heng said, "I don't know how to make medicine, and it's not me who wants to use it, Xiao Xueman wants to use it."

Xueman wants to use it?

Qin Lou recalled the days when he couldn't find anyone during this period, and suddenly became nervous.

"I can give you the Huiling Talisman, but you have to take me to find Xueman, and tell me, what has Xueman been doing during this time? What happened to him now? Did something happen?"

Yun Heng waved his hand: "Why are there so many? You'll know when you get there. Hurry up, I'll tell you on the way."

It was only after listening to him that Qin Lou knew that Xiao Xueman had borrowed the place of the Alchemist Association during this time, and he had spent all his free time on it recently.Yun Heng had some materials in his hand, and Xiao Xueman asked him to borrow them, so he found out about it and helped a little.

"...Zong Manluo was away a few days ago, and he was also going back to the Alchemist Association to buy some things for him," Yun Heng explained to Qin Lou as he walked, "After all, the nine-star elixir is not so easy to refine, let alone, he This time, the top-level nine-star elixir was refined, so it is really not easy to cure you all at once."

Nine-star elixir?

What Qin Lou knew about the nine-star elixir was that last time, Xiao Xueman refined the medicine for his wounds, and Zong Manluo tried to exchange it with better materials.

Qin Lou was shocked.

"But, didn't he reject the Alchemist Association earlier?"

"Xiao Xueman rejected me before, isn't he regretting it now? Maybe he has a new idea," Yun Heng said normally, "Both Zong Manluo and I don't mind his repentance, and even like it."

Why did Xueman suddenly change his mind?

The more Qin Lou thought about it, the more worried he became. He urged Yun Heng to move forward, wishing he could be by Xiao Xueman's side now.

Soon, Qin Lou had followed Yun Heng to the residence of the Alchemist Association. Xiao Xueman was resting on the bed with his eyes closed, his face pale.

It's been so long, how has Qin Lou ever seen him so weak that he needs to rest?

He half-kneeled beside Xiao Xueman's bed, reaching out to touch his hand, it was cold.

"He's fine, he just needs to rest," Yun Heng explained next to him, "I thought your talisman was originally for him, so I'm going to find you now if I don't need it for nothing."

Qin Lou naturally didn't need him to say more, he immediately took out the Huiling Talisman, put it on Xiao Xueman's heart, and slowly guided it into Xiao Xueman's body with his own strength.

The power of the Huiling Talisman is warm, and Xiao Xueman, who was lying on the bed, groaned slightly. He looked much better, and his hands were not as cold as before, as if he would wake up soon.

Qin Lou breathed a sigh of relief, then turned his head and asked Yun Heng: "How did it become like this? It's just refining the nine-star elixir. With Xueman's level, nothing will happen."

"There was a little accident. He wouldn't do this at first. As you said, it's just refining a nine-star elixir. But this time the materials are rare, and the Alchemist Association only has one. It’s hard to find it anymore. There is a failure rate in refining pills, and the higher the star rating, the harder it is to control. This time the refining medicine almost failed. Xiao Xue didn’t want to fail, so she forced it back,” Yun Heng pointed Pointing to the alchemy furnace that was put aside, "It was finally successful, it was hard, but he is also a little overdrawn and needs to rest, it's nothing serious."

Qin Lou didn't even look at the medicine in the alchemy furnace, his eyes could only hold Xiao Xueman now.

"Did he do all this for me?"

"No."

This sentence was not said by Yun Heng, but Xiao Xueman who just opened his eyes heard his question and replied him coldly.

His voice was still a little hoarse, and then he pulled his hand out of Qin Lou's.

"Don't mess around with everything," he said to Qin Lou, then turned around and said something to Yun Heng, as if complaining, "Didn't I say that I'll be fine after a night of sleep? You How did you find him?"

Yun Heng spread his hands: "Didn't you refine this medicine just to give it to him? And Qin Lou has a Huiling Talisman in his hand, just for you to use."

Xiao Xueman: "... Forget it."

"I've troubled you before," he sighed, without any intention of blaming Yun Heng, "Let me and Qin Lou have a few words alone."

Seeing that Xiao Xueman was awake, Yun Heng naturally had nothing to worry about, so he went out after hearing this.

Seeing Yun Heng going out, Xiao Xueman opened his mouth to explain the matter to Qin Lou: "I didn't expect you to come here at this time, I planned to tell you tomorrow, Qin Lou, the pill is indeed for you, but You also don't think too much.

Zong Manluo and I have already negotiated the terms of the agreement, which is different from the previous ones. The main reason is that we want the support of the Alchemist Association. The Alchemist Association has a very good relationship with many sects. I think Xiaowan will If anything happens, Zong Manluo will also help the ground. Your elixir ingredients are only part of it. Zong Manluo offered to give it. My current cooperation with the Alchemist Association is for Xiaowan, not for you.

In addition, what you said to Xiaowan before, Xiaowan later told me.Getting you cured as soon as possible is also good for protecting Xiao Wan in the future.I did all this to prevent Xiao Wan from doing anything wrong, not for you, if I had done it for you, I would have promised Zong Manluo earlier. "

But after Qin Lou heard this, there was no regret or disappointment on his face. He felt Xiao Xueman's breath carefully, stretched out his hand to check again, and said, "I know. Xueman, it's good that you are fine. .”

Xiao Xueman was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head away, and started to get up.

"I've finished what I have to say. Your medicine is in the pill furnace," he said, "You take it and leave. There is still some time. I want to go back and see Xiaowan."

He has been busy with these things for a long time recently, and really has no time to go back and see his son.

"and many more!"

Qin Lou didn't go to the alchemy furnace to get the medicine, he pushed Xiao Xueman back on the bed at once.

"You rest first, even if you use the Huiling Talisman, you won't be able to fully recover right away," Qin Lou said, "Look at what happened to Xiaowan, don't worry about it right now, he should be asleep now, and it will be the same if you go tomorrow.

Xueman, you don't have to be so afraid about Xiaowan's incident in the prophecy, I and many others will help you and prevent Xiaowan from having an accident. "

Xiao Xueman hadn't fully recovered yet. He had just woken up, and his hands and feet were still a little soft. Qin Lou pushed him down and pushed him down.

He raised his head to look at Qin Lou, and the two of them met their eyes.

"I haven't been able to find you these few days. I'm very anxious. It's hard to concentrate on what I do. I'm always afraid that something will happen to you again, and I don't want to talk to me," Qin Lou continued, "After I made my words clear a while ago , I also know in my heart that our hope of being together is originally slim.

Xueman, you have such a personality, sometimes you will be kind to others subconsciously. I, Xiaowan or Shen Guanyinying have all accepted such kindness before.I received the elixir from you at that time, because you gave it, I was naturally happy, but I also know that it is not because I like me so much now, most of them think that the injuries on my body are related to saving you and Xiaowan.

Today's elixir, I am not complacent about it.On the way here, when I heard Yun Heng talk about those things, I just felt distressed.

Xueman, I told you earlier that there is no need to obliterate all the possibilities between us. This possibility does not mean that we must force you to fall in love with me, but can you also accept my kindness to you in this way? "

Qin Lou was still half-kneeling beside his bed, and his voice was bitter, as if he was begging: "Yun Heng knows about this, and Zong Manluo also knows about it, but I didn't know until after this medicine was refined. If you want to negotiate with the Alchemist Association, I can help. Alchemy needs materials, medicine cauldrons and space, and I can also help. Xueman, if you have these things in the future, you can come to me. Can you, don't just skip my option?

Xueman, you hoped that I would stop hiding it from you, and I also hoped so. In the future, you can't hide it from me, Xiao Wan is our child.But I worry about you more than Xiaowan. "

If Xiao Xueman really hurt something during the refining process, it would be better not to use this medicine.
