Jing Tian immediately said eagerly, âOkay! When? Now? The sooner, the better. Tell us what you need, and weâll arrange it immediately.â
My little uncle and the others quickly followed suit.
Mr. Li thought for a moment and said, âThen letâs do it tonight. Ten oâclock at night is the best time for witchery. Itâs the time when magic is at its strongest. If that witch has placed some other spell on you, itâll be exposed then. Then, I can deal with it.â
Hearing this, the group of people nodded their heads repeatedly. Mr. Li looked out of the window and said, âIâve sensed the energy of my kin in the past two days. Tong Le, you have to send more people to guard us tonight. If weâre disturbed in the middle or if Nanxing is awakened in advance, the consequences will be unimaginable.â My little uncle said hurriedly, âDonât worry. Iâll take some people to guard you personally.â
Everyone immediately split up to do their work.
Jing Tian stayed behind and asked, âMr. Li, is there any danger?â
Before Mr. Li could say anything, he added, âIâm talking about Nanxing. Is there any danger for her?â
He held my hand, his palm slightly wet with sweat.
Mr. Li smiled. âAs long as they keep us safe, there wonât be any danger.â
Jing Tian was very nervous. âWhat will happen if thereâs an accident?â
Mr. Liâs expression turned grave. âIf she is interrupted by someone during our operation, at the least, her memory will become more fragmented, and she wonât have a chance to recover. At worst, her brain will be damaged, and her physical movements will be affected in the futureâ¦â He pointed at his head. âHer mind will be shattered. Sheâll go crazy!â
Jing Tian looked at Mr. Li in a daze and suddenly shouted, âGao Da!â
Gao Da ran in quickly. âMaster Qi!â Jing Tian ordered word by word, âProtect Nanxing and me well. Iâll leave our lives in your hands.â
Gao Da was obviously stunned for a moment. He nodded solemnly. âDonât worry, Master
Qi!â
âThank you, brother Gao Da!â I said softly.
Gao Da looked at me and said in a gentle voice, âTake care!â
Mr. Li was very satisfied. âThe poison isnât difficult to cure. Whatâs rare is that the two of you love each other. As long as you have any distracting thoughts, you wonât be able to do this. You really canât blame Ma Ji for hounding after you two relentlessly. Your blood will be even more valuable after this.â
âWhy do you say us two? Will this harm Jing Tian?â I felt an inexplicable sense of panic in my heart.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Mr. Li rolled his eyes at me, and he said angrily, âAlright, stop spreading dogfood. Girl, look around! If an accident can still happen, then he doesnât need to stay in Jiang Hu anymore!â
Jing Tian and I walked around Mr. Li hand in hand, watching him prepare all sorts of strange things. At eight oâclock in the evening, everything was ready.
I lay on the bed, watching the blood of Jing Tian and mine slowly merge in the blood bag.
I asked in surprise, âWhy is Jing Tianâs blood a little golden?â
Mr. Li glanced at me, and he sighed, âFate has decided everything. He was once poisoned by love poison. He was later cured with your blood. They probably didnât know how precious your blood was back then. Since your blood was used to treat Jing Tian, his blood took on some of your blood property too. This must be good karma. And now heâs here to cure you. This is your good fortune.â
