Chapter 125 Brother Xia was already surprised.
At this moment, Lin Fengzhi's hair had turned mostly white from his forehead, his face was pale and bloodless, his cheeks were sunken, and his skin was dry, as if it were directly attached to his bones. Age spots seemed to be appearing on his neck.
Xia Mo used her divine sense to gather information about Lin Fengzhi.
She realized that Lin Fengzhi's condition might be due to her using her divine sense to hack into the live streaming system.
When Xia Mo realized this, she felt a little uneasy.
That bastard Lin Chengzhi was in excruciating pain; he deserved to die. But Lin Fengzhi… uh…
She... accidentally dragged Lin Fengzhi into this mess too!
Lin Fengzhi's problem arose because she accessed the live-streaming system in Lin Chengzhi's mind, which indirectly linked her to Lin Fengzhi!
"Before I go home, there's something I need to do," Xia Mo said, flipping her hand to reveal a small medicine bottle in her palm. She looked at Huangfu Qian.
"Could you give this to Lin Fengzhi? One pill every seven days, three times in total," Xia Mo said, referring to the pills she had given Huangfu Qian before.
Huangfu Qian reached out his hand.
Like a frightened bird, Brother Xia took the small medicine bottle from Xia Mo's hand first and handed it to Huangfu Qian.
Huangfu Qian looked at the small medicine bottle in his hand and then at Xia Mo.
"Don't mention that I gave it to you," Xia Mo said, as she was repaying a debt of karma and didn't want to bring up any more.
Huangfu Qian unconsciously tightened his grip on the small medicine bottle in his hand.
The reaction at the end of summer is hard not to make people think.
Brother Xia and Jiang Feng were among those who were overthinking things.
"Little sister, you..." Could it be that you've taken a fancy to the doctor named Lin Fengzhi? Brother Xia wanted to ask that, but there were outsiders present, and he didn't want to tarnish his little sister's reputation.
Xia Mo seems meticulous, but she is careless when it comes to feelings and relationships, and she didn't notice at all that Brother Xia and the others had misunderstood her actions.
“Okay,” Huangfu Qian handed the small medicine bottle to Jiang Feng.
"As long as the other party takes it, that's fine?" Jiang Feng looked at Xia Mo.
“One pill every seven days, just make sure the other person takes it,” Xia Mo emphasized.
“Yes,” Jiang Feng knew what to do.
"Let's check who else has died young due to declining physical function?" Xia Mo thought for a moment and reminded Huangfu Qian based on Lin Fengzhi's current condition.
Huangfu Qian nodded, solemnly keeping this matter in mind.

Cancel the room at the inn...
When Xia Mo and Brother Xia checked in, there were only two of them. When they left, there were four of them. The innkeeper and the waiter looked at them curiously a few more times.
Huangfu Qian led Xia Mo and Xia Dage to the courtyard where they were staying in Anning Prefecture.
In Anning Prefecture, the second courtyard gate of the alleyway specifically used for residential purposes opened.
Huangfu Qian glanced at Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng immediately said, "When you come to Anning Prefecture in the future, you can stay here."
Brother Xia frowned and stood guard in front of Xia Mo, as if protecting Huangfu Qian from a wolf.
"My master and I are only staying here temporarily," Jiang Feng explained, though he was secretly wondering why. In fact, Huangfu Qian had just bought this house so that Xia Mo would have a place to stay when she came to Anning Prefecture!
Jiang Feng, having received Huangfu Qian's signal, took out the deed to the house and handed it to Brother Xia.
Brother Xia shook his head decisively.
“Take it,” Xia Mo raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, “Do you have paper and pen? I’ll also give you a medicinal bath recipe that’s worth a fortune.”
In an equivalent exchange, the medicinal bath recipe she gave would be worth more than this house.
Jiang Feng seemed to conjure something up, taking out paper, brushes, ink, and other items, and then fetching a small table.
At the end of summer, I picked up a brush and carefully wrote down the prescription for a strengthening medicinal bath on the paper.
Jiang Feng was stunned when he saw Xia Mo's neat and skillful handwriting. Could a girl raised in the countryside really write like that?!
Huangfu Qian looked at the characters with surprise, but after a few more glances, he realized that they looked familiar. He then remembered which calligraphy book they belonged to.
The calligraphy of late summer is a complete and exact copy of the characters pasted on a plaster.
Xia Mo tossed the brush back to Jiang Feng, saying, "Here, take it."
Brother Xia was already surprised.
The calligraphy copybooks he used at the end of summer were from his collection. When his younger sister wanted to practice calligraphy, he would take them out and watch her write the exact same characters as those in the copybooks.
“Alright,” Huangfu Qian took the still-wet prescription, examined it carefully, and drew a conclusion.
Xia Mo smiled smugly. This was a health-strengthening recipe she obtained from a body cultivator in a cultivation world. Although she had modified the recipe due to the different world, greatly reducing its effectiveness, it was still more than ten times stronger than the health-strengthening medicinal bath in this world.
"Give it to me, and I can use it as I please?" Huangfu Qian shook the paper to speed up the drying of the ink.
"Hmm," Xia Mo replied casually, strolling around the yard with a grin.
The house was small, less than an acre, and was divided into a main courtyard and three smaller courtyards, with a small garden in the center. Each of the three smaller courtyards had its own wall, which completely blocked the view.
Xia Mo nodded in satisfaction.

Half an hour later—
Anjia Village —
Xia Mo returned with Brother Xia.
When Brother Xia saw Xia Mo, whose face had turned pale again after returning, his heart clenched.
"Little sister, next time... next time, let's be more careful?" Brother Xia's brows furrowed with worry.
After a brief respite, once the dizziness and blurred vision subsided, she replied, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I just need a medicinal bath and two nights of rest."
“Tell me the prescription for the medicinal bath, and I’ll go get the medicine for you,” Brother Xia said.
"No need, I've already prepared the medicine for the medicinal bath," Xia Mo smiled, and with a flick of her wrist, she brought out seven large bags of medicine.
Brother Xia reached out and took the seven large medicine packets. He looked around nervously to make sure no one was watching before he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Little sister, don't take things from outside next time," Brother Xia said in a low voice.
"Mmm," Xia Mo nodded obediently. She was certain that it was just her and her brother Xia here.
Xia Mo used her divine sense to keep her blood and energy on her cheeks to make herself look healthier, and then followed Brother Xia back home.
When Xia Mo's parents saw her return, they immediately surrounded her.
Brother Xia was treated like a gift, forgotten in a corner.
Brother Xia watched this scene with a smile in his eyes.
"You were gone for quite a while this time, did something happen?"
Xia Mo Huanxi patiently answered all the questions from her family members.

That night—
In the backyard of Jishi Medical Clinic in Anning Prefecture City, in a small courtyard—
Lin Fengzhi's rest room—
Lin Fengzhi had already woken up. He was still lying in bed, the candlelight flickering and reflecting on his half-white hair. The warm yellow light couldn't bring any color to his pale face.
Lin Fengzhi looked at the person who entered the room.
"My name is Jiang Feng, and I am one of King Jiang's trusted confidants," Jiang Feng introduced himself, taking out a token to prove his identity.
Lin Feng asked in confusion, "I am already a dying man. I wonder what business King Jiang has with me?"
Jiang Feng's eyes flickered, and he said, "My master knows your condition and sent me to deliver the medicine. Take one pill first."
Jiang Feng said that the medicine was given by Huangfu Qian, so after Lin Fengzhi recovers, he will definitely be extremely grateful to Huangfu Qian.
Lin Fengzhi, who had been sentenced to death, took the pill without hesitation and swallowed it without any hesitation. Then... he stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
