This host, so intelligent, made it a little panicked.
It was certain that the host wouldn't believe a single word it had just said.
"Honestly, everything in the world seeks advantage and avoids harm, only seeking pleasure. Why ask so many questions? What's the point?" When its strength returned to its peak, it would naturally undergo a second tribulation. At that time, it would go its own way, and Xia Qingtian would go hers. Wouldn't it be better to part ways amicably?
Girls who are too curious are not cute at all!
Meanwhile, after telling the system to rest, Xia Qingtian slowly opened her eyes.
There was still time in the future. If she wanted to know something, she would eventually know it.
Aunt Liu was a little surprised to see Xia Qingtian return so soon. "So early? I thought you'd be having dinner with Mr. Gu or something."
"He's too busy," Xia Qingtian replied. "Has Qingyu returned?"
"She's back. She's reading in her room," Aunt Liu said softly. "She's been looking for you everywhere since she got back. She was so disappointed when she couldn't find you."
"Is that so?" Xia Qingtian then chuckled and went upstairs. Before going to her own room, she went to greet Xia Qingyu. "Hi~ My darling Qingyu~ Did you miss your sister~?"
Seeing Xia Qingtian, Xia Qingyu's eyes lit up, and then she huffed, "You're quite something. At least you didn't end up in the hospital this time."
Xia Qingtian gave a dry laugh. Although she hadn't gone to the hospital this time, quite a few people had.
Da Ya and Gou Wen were still in the hospital.
"Heh heh, how has Miao Tong been these past few days? Has he been behaving?" Xia Qingtian changed the subject. "Has Wen Jiu returned?"
Previously, Wen Jiu had left overnight for a temporary mission, leaving her only a note saying he was going abroad and would return in a few days, without specifying a date.
Miao Tong had also wanted to go to the capital with her, but after being bullied by Er Ya while drunk, Miao Tong had truly hated her. Upon hearing that Er Ya was also returning, Miao Tong had rolled her eyes and said she wanted to stay at the base camp, telling Xia Qingtian to have a safe trip.
This had also made Xia Qingtian breathe a sigh of relief. Otherwise, with Er Ya and Da Ya standing there, even a fool like Miao Tong could guess the sisters' identities.
Fortunately, he hadn't gone.
"As soon as you get back, you only know how to ask about others..." Xia Qingyu puffed out her cheeks before replying, "Wen Jiu hasn't returned. Miao Tong has been going out early and returning late these past few days. It seems he's looking for someone, but I didn't ask for details."
Upon hearing that Miao Tong was looking for someone, Xia Qingtian gave a wry smile.
He was probably looking for Da Ya. Unfortunately, Da Ya had already returned to the capital. It was a bit pitiful that Miao Tong had been working in vain for so long.
Recalling Miao Tong's previous beating, Xia Qingtian didn't feel so pitiful anymore.
At least he was alive and hadn't been beaten. Looking for someone for a few days could be considered exercise.
She was quite open-minded about it, but Miao Tong had been really annoyed these past few days.
She didn't know what was going on with Song Junhan. The蛊 (gǔ) had been resolved, yet he had somehow been poisoned again and had shifted the blame onto him.
He insisted that the蛊 he had planted was acting up and begged him to remove it.
If he didn't remove it, he wouldn't leave, acting like a plague god, pestering him every day.
Miao Tong was at his wit's end.
Song Junhan didn't want this either, but he really didn't want to die!
The previous attempt to kidnap [Miao Tong] outside Gu Corporation was just a desperate bid for survival.
Who knew from where such a powerful dead girl had appeared, not only beating up his men but also snatching [Miao Tong] away.
And the蛊 poison that hadn't flared up for a long time had reappeared, causing him to tremble all over and roll on the ground in pain.
Although the pain this time was slightly different from the last, Song Junhan couldn't care about such details.
All he knew was that he was in pain, he was dying, he couldn't die, he had to live!
Su Wan, that wretched woman, was utterly disgusting. Not only did she avoid him, but she also told President Su that she wanted to break off their engagement!
If his current work abilities hadn't caught the attention of the higher-ups, President Su might have really agreed to Su Wan's request and broken off the engagement.
If President Su kicked him to the curb, wouldn't Song Junhan return to being a poor boy again?
How could that be allowed!
He had struggled this far and could no longer endure the poverty of his past. He wanted money! He wanted power! He wanted to climb higher!
Although he had never thought much of Su Wan, it didn't mean Su Wan could look down on him.
He had clearly been poisoned by the蛊, which was why he had acted that way. Yet Su Wan wanted to break up with him and annul the engagement!
He had known long ago that women were not good things and were only meant to be tools for him to climb higher!
Now, the promotion of "I Am the Great City Lord" was in full swing, and the filming was proceeding exceptionally smoothly.
Yu Linwan from Wanyuan Entertainment had been abandoned. The new replacement, President Lan, was clearly sent by the organization as a temporary replacement, with a focus on evaluating him.
He was now just waiting to ride the wind and soar ninety thousand li!
At such a time, how could he die!
Therefore, he didn't let go of any chance to survive. While he sent people to search for remedies and consult experts, he would stake out Miao Tong near the Xia family's residence every day. As soon as he saw Miao Tong, he would rush up, practically begging with three kowtows, and follow Miao Tong wherever he went.
No matter how Miao Tong explained, he insisted on recognizing Miao Tong as if he had run into him.
This made Miao Tong so angry that he wished he could administer the蛊 to him again, something harsh, to make him stop bothering him.
But Miao Tong also knew that this was a society governed by law, and he couldn't act that way.
Finally, Miao Tong couldn't bear it any longer. "Fine! I'll cure you!"
"Really!" Song Junhan's eyes lit up.
"Three days from now is the full moon. On that night, don't wear any clothes and go to the highest point in Z City to absorb the essence of the moon. After a full hour, the poison will be dispelled and the蛊 avoided." Miao Tong could tell that the person who poisoned Song Junhan didn't intend to kill him.
At most three days, and the poison's effects would pass.
He had tried his best to reason with him before.
He had truthfully told him that he would be fine in a few days, to eat what he should eat, drink what he should drink, and not to dwell on things.
However, Song Junhan had mistakenly thought that Miao Tong meant he only had a few days to live and would soon bid farewell to the world, which had scared him pale.
Now, Miao Tong deliberately made things sound mystical and fake, which Song Junhan believed without question. He immediately performed three kowtows and left briskly, preparing to find the highest point in Z City and wait for three days to absorb the essence of the moon.
Having finally sent Song Junhan away, Miao Tong returned to the Xia family with a sigh, feeling that his brilliant life had been wasted. To his surprise, he found that Xia Qingtian had returned and had even brought him many gifts, which were placed in his room.
"I must say, this little niece has a thoughtful heart," Miao Tong exclaimed as he unwrapped the gifts, marveling at how each item Xia Qingtian had given him was his favorite.
Not only were there his favorite snacks from the capital, but also the limited-edition sneakers he liked, the headphones he wanted, and wait? Why were there even his seasonal clothes and a handwritten letter from his mother???
