Chapter 157 Lin Muxue Returns

After Xu Shisan returned, he found that the little girl Shen Zhizhi had come again. As soon as she saw Xu Shisan, Shen Zhizhi walked up to him and beat and scolded him.

"You stinky fellow, you lied to me again! You fooled me again! You said there was only one plant of that grass, and there was only one bottle of the liquid. You are full of lies, I will beat you to death!"

Shen Zhizhi punched Xu Shisan's chest with his little fists and kicked him in the butt.

After hearing that Shen Zhizhi had seen through his lie yesterday, Xu Shisan said calmly, "How did I lie to you? I really only have one of these three-leaf spirit gathering grass, and I only have one bottle of that revitalizing liquid, which is so precious. I paid my life for it, and you actually said I lied to you."

"Bullshit!" Shen Zhizhi spat.

"I asked my brother yesterday, and he said you have more than a dozen plants of this three-leaf spirit gathering grass, and more than a dozen bottles of this revitalizing liquid, but you lied to me that you only have one bottle."

"Then how many plants of three-leaf spirit-gathering grass does he have, and how many bottles of revitalizing liquid does he have?" Xu Shisan asked back.

"He said he only had two three-leaf spirit-gathering herbs and two bottles of revitalizing liquid." Shen Zhizhi replied.

"That's right. He each had two plants and two bottles. How come I have more than ten plants and more than ten bottles? Yesterday I gave Ke'er one plant and one bottle. I only have one plant and one bottle left, so I gave it to you. If you don't believe me, ask your sister Ke'er if I gave her a three-leaf spirit gathering grass and a bottle of resurrection liquid."

Hearing this, Xia Ke'er nodded.

"Yeah, that's right."

Shen Zhizhi was stunned when he saw Xia Keer admitted it.

Could it be that I really blamed him wrongly?
"You are really ungrateful. If you despise that bottle of revitalizing liquid and that three-leaf spirit gathering grass, if you don't want them, just return them to me. Really, I gave them to you with good intentions, but you despised them." At this time, Xu Shisan pretended to be angry again.

"You are a dog!" Shen Zhizhi immediately retorted.

"Since you are quite sincere, I will accept it with reluctance." Shen Zhizhi was no longer angry about this matter.

Afterwards, Shen Zhizhi played with Xia Keer and Chen Xi in the college for a few hours and did not return until the afternoon.

After Shen Zhizhi left, Xu Shisan took out another bottle of revitalizing liquid and handed it to Chen Xi.

"Chen Xi, although you are not a summoner, ordinary people can also take this bottle of medicine. After being injured, you only need one drop to heal quickly."

Seeing that Xu Shisan actually gave her a bottle of extremely precious medicine, Chen Xi quickly declined.

"I don't need it. I'm not a summoner, and I'm not fighting a ferocious beast, so how could I get hurt?"

"It's okay. Although this revitalizing liquid is precious, you are also my and Ke'er's best friend. We grew up together. Don't refuse it. Keep this bottle of liquid medicine for emergency use."

"Yes, Xixi, just take it."

Seeing that Xu Shisan and Xia Ke'er both insisted, Chen Xi had no choice but to accept it reluctantly.

Then Xu Shisan joked, "Don't tell that girl Zhizhi, or she will come and scold me again."

"Pfft~"

Chen Xi and Xia Ke'er both burst out laughing.

Chen Xi couldn't help but say, "Thirteen, I remember you were very honest when you were a child. When did you learn to lie like this?"

"No, I should say, when did you learn how to trick a little girl?"

"Go, go, go, don't talk nonsense."

in the afternoon.

After a whole day, Xu Shisan still hadn't received any news from Lin Muxue, and he was somewhat anxious.

He wanted to ask Mr. Chen again, but Xu Shisan also knew that this kind of thing could not be solved in a hurry.

But in the evening, Xu Shisan suddenly received a call from Lin Yaya.

On the other end of the phone, Lin Yaya told Xu Shisan that Lin Muxue had called her back and said she would be back tomorrow.

Hearing this, Xu Shisan finally let go of his worries.

He was just about to call Lin Muxue to confirm when Lin Muxue called Xu Shisan.

After hearing Lin Muxue's voice through the radio, Xu Shisan felt relieved.

Lin Muxue also told him that she would be back tomorrow afternoon.

the next morning.

Xu Shisan went to Mr. Chen early in the morning and told him about finding Lin Muxue. Mr. Chen had already learned about it yesterday, and Lin Muxue also called Mr. Chen.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, Lin Muxue returned to the Imperial Capital College.

After seeing Lin Muxue, Xu Shisan immediately invited her to his room and asked:

"Sister, where have you been during this time? I asked Instructor Guo, and she said you took a long vacation and went to the army for training. Why did you go to the army?"

In response, Lin Muxue smiled faintly and explained: "It's nothing, I just felt that the training in the academy was too boring, so I wanted to go to the army for some experience. After I went there, the military commander didn't let me go outside the wall, so I stayed there for half a month and then went back."

"I stayed for half a month and then went back, but..."

Lin Muxue knew what Xu Shisan wanted to ask, so she continued to explain, "Junior brother, ever since I learned about your disappearance, I have been very worried about you, but I was powerless and felt a little depressed. After returning from the army, I did not return to the academy, but went to the Shanhe District for a while. Some time ago, I went to Dongxiang where Junior brother is."

Hearing that Lin Muxue went to Dongxiang Town, Xu Shisan hurriedly asked, "How is Dongxiang?"

"Yes, it has been rebuilt. When I was there, most of the surviving residents of Dongxiang had moved back. The Court of Arbitration also issued orders to each district to send talents to Dongxiang. They are vigorously rebuilding and supporting it."

"Oh, I see. That's good."

"But, senior sister, I heard from Yaya that your radio has been unreachable since more than half a month ago. What's going on?" Xu Shisan asked again in confusion.

"Nothing. I just encountered a petty thief when I was passing through a town. He stole my radio. Later I contacted the control center in the town and it took me more than ten days to find it."

"After I found the radio, I called Yaya, and then I called you."

Lin Muxue spoke seriously, but in fact, Lin Muxue did not go to Dongxiang at all.

Ever since she learned about Xu Shisan's disappearance, Lin Muxue has been in a state of panic. She then asked Instructor Guo for leave, saying that she wanted to go to the army for training.

Lin Muxue did go to the army, but after staying in the army for two days, Lin Muxue lied to the army commander that she had to return to the imperial capital for some urgent matters. In fact, Lin Muxue quietly slipped outside the wall, and then went west along the outskirts of the forest to the third checkpoint where the Japanese were stationed.

Because she knew that Xu Shisan disappeared there, she wanted to go there to look for Xu Shisan.

She ran along the forest during the day and found a tall tree to rest on at night. After walking for several days, she finally reached the forest area under the jurisdiction of the third checkpoint.

She didn't tell anyone and kept searching in the forest, going deeper and deeper, for more than 20 days. But Lin Muxue was only a D-level summoner after all, and going deep into the forest was seeking death. Once she encountered a high-level beast, she would definitely die.

Fortunately, Lin Muxue was extremely cautious, and her Snow Wolf King had strong reconnaissance capabilities, which allowed her to avoid danger time and time again.

Of course, because of this, Lin Muxue's search was particularly slow. After searching for more than 20 days, she still found nothing.

In order not to make Lin Yaya worry, Lin Muxue called Lin Yaya every three or four days.

It was not until a month ago that Yaya told her on the phone that Xu Shisan had returned safely. Lin Muxue was overjoyed and immediately wanted to leave the forest and rush back to Longguo.

But on the way back, an accident happened.

Because Lin Muxue was in a hurry to go back, she accidentally encountered a B-level ferocious beast and was seriously injured. If it weren't for the Snow Wolf King and the three-tailed fox to support her, Lin Muxue would have died there.

Later, Lin Muxue found a very hidden cave and hid there.

She originally wanted to use the radio to contact Longguo for help, but then she thought that she was deep in the forest and could not determine her location. This area was not under the jurisdiction of the Longguo army. In addition, she was very safe now, so Lin Muxue gave up.

So Lin Muxue recuperated in the cave, and when she was healed, she would rush back.

During the period of recuperation in the cave, he was able to call Lin Yaya to report his safety in the early stage, but later the radio ran out of battery. Helplessly, Lin Muxue had to temporarily stop contacting Lin Yaya.

Lin Muxue could be said to have turned a disaster into a blessing. Just a few days ago, Lin Muxue successfully advanced to a C-level summoner in that cave, and her injuries were completely healed.

After Lin Muxue's injuries were completely healed, she came out of the cave, and with the help of the Snow Wolf King, she followed the outer edge of the forest and reached the first checkpoint of the Dragon Kingdom. With the help of the army, she returned to the wall.

After charging the radio, she contacted Yaya and Xu Shisan, and this is what happened.

However, Lin Muxue did not intend to tell anyone about this, including Xu Shisan.

When she was seriously injured and hiding in the cave, the reason she did not seek rescue was that she did not want other people to know about it.

"Oh, so that's how it is." Xu Shisan didn't doubt what Lin Muxue said just now. Seeing that Lin Muxue looked a little haggard, he couldn't help but asked: "Senior sister, I see that you look a little haggard, are you feeling unwell?"

"No, I've just been busy traveling these days and I'm exhausted from the long journey, so I look a little haggard." Lin Muxue shook her head.

"Sister, please take good rest. By the way, I have two things to give to you."

As he spoke, Xu Shisan took out a three-leaf spirit-gathering grass and a bottle of revitalizing liquid.

He said to Lin Muxue, "Senior Sister, this is a three-leaf spirit gathering grass. I participated in a hunting competition and got it in the restricted area of ​​the forest. It was because of taking it that I disappeared for a month. I only have one of this three-leaf spirit gathering grass now."

"And this bottle of revitalizing liquid, which I won by participating in a competition. There is only one bottle."

"During the days when I was missing, Senior Sister must have been worried about me. Consider this three-leaf spirit gathering grass as my apology to you."

As he spoke, Xu Shisan handed the three-leaf spirit gathering grass and the bottle of revitalizing liquid to Lin Muxue.

Seeing this, Lin Muxue quickly refused: "No, no, how can I take such a precious thing? No, no."

Lin Muxue is not like Shen Zhizhi, an "illiterate" person who doesn't understand pharmacology. She naturally knows the value of the three-leaf spirit gathering grass, which is known as the most precious holy medicine for B-level summoners. Just one plant can lay the foundation for her to become a C-level summoner and increase her speed in advancing to a B-level summoner several times.

How could she have the nerve to accept such a precious elixir?

And the revitalizing liquid is also extremely precious. The Lin family probably doesn't even have two bottles, and they are all in the hands of her grandfather.

But Xu Shisan actually gave her such a precious thing, which made Lin Muxue very flattered and touched at the same time.

Seeing Lin Muxue refuse, Xu Shisan said seriously: "Senior sister, no matter how precious these things are, they are not as good as your smile and frown. The reason why I risked my life to seize this three-leaf spirit gathering grass is also for you, senior sister."

"What's more, you are still my fiancée, Senior Sister. Although the Court of Arbitration gave your Lin family a lot of betrothal gifts on my behalf when we got engaged, they still belonged to the Court of Arbitration. Now, Senior Sister, you can just regard this three-leaf spirit gathering grass and this bottle of revitalizing liquid as the betrothal gifts."

Hearing these words, Lin Muxue's pretty face turned red and her nose felt sore at the same time.

She suddenly felt that all the suffering, fatigue and injuries she had endured in the forest some time ago were nothing.

"In that case, I'll accept it." Lin Muxue was a little shy.

Xu Shisan's words just now made Lin Muxue's heart beat wildly.

In order to hide her strangeness, Lin Muxue changed the subject and asked, "Junior brother, can you tell me why you disappeared at that time?"

At that time, although Lin Muxue learned of Xu Shisan's disappearance, she didn't know how he disappeared or how he came back.

In response, Xu Shisan explained to her: "It is like this, Senior Sister, at that time, I followed the team deep into the restricted area of ​​the forest."

Xu Shisan recounted what had happened at that time, adding more details and making a fuss about it.

Xu Shisan said that he followed the team deep into the restricted area of ​​the forest and found ten three-leaf spirit-gathering grasses. In the fight for the three-leaf spirit-gathering grasses, he was accidentally surrounded. Unfortunately, he fell into a coma and was rescued by a team member. He hid in a cave for nearly a month before coming out.

After coming out, continue to participate in the competition.

Later, he won a bottle of resurrection liquid through a competition and was also given a three-leaf spirit-gathering grass.

After hearing that Xu Shisan almost sacrificed his life for this three-leaf spirit gathering grass, and that there was only one of it, Lin Muxue was even more moved.

Afterwards, Xu Shisan told Lin Muxue about his experiences in the past four months. Lin Muxue did not go back until after dark.

Lin Muxue had been away for several months and had not returned to the Lin family. This time when she came back, she came to find Xu Shisan first, instead of returning to the Lin family first.

Before Lin Muxue left, Xu Shisan specifically instructed her:

"Senior sister, please don't tell that little girl Lin Yaya about these three-leaf spirit gathering grass and this bottle of revitalizing liquid. After all, I only have one plant and one bottle. If I give them to you, I won't be able to give them to her anymore."

"okay."

Lin Muxue knew what Xu Shisan was worried about. He was afraid that Lin Yaya would feel unbalanced after knowing it.

"That's good. Then you can go back first, Senior Sister. Go back and get more rest."

"Ah."

Afterwards, Lin Muxue returned to the Lin family.

After returning to the Lin family, Lin Muxue met her parents.

However, Lin Muxue's parents were unaware of her absence for the past few months and thought that Lin Muxue had been practicing in the Imperial Capital Academy.

After meeting her parents, Lin Muxue went to see Lin Yaya again. After seeing her sister return safely, Lin Yaya almost hugged Lin Muxue and cried.
