After his great sorrow came great joy. At this moment, he seemed to be acting crazy. One moment he knelt down and kowtowed to Xia's father and the others to express his gratitude. The next moment he was jumping around on the spot, waving his hands and feet. After a while, he asked Xia's mother to take his pulse. Then he laughed loudly again.
"My hands are back! My hands are back! Hahaha..."
"Is that enough?"
Huangfu Qian's voice was not loud, but it was full of the authority of a superior.
The erratic Lin Fengzhi suddenly quieted down, stood respectfully in front of Huangfu Qian, first bowed, and then with a "thud," knelt firmly on the ground, prostrating himself before Huangfu Qian and saying, "Greetings, Master!"
Lin Fengzhi knew very well that if he wanted revenge, he needed a powerful backer, and after thinking it over, he couldn't find anyone more suitable than Huangfu Qian.
Huangfu Qian looked at Xia Mo beside him and said expressionlessly, "The one who gave you the strengthening pills was a member of the Xia family. My people were just helping to pass them on."
There was only one reason why Huangfu Qian came twice without bringing Jiang Feng with him.
Jiang Feng said that the health-strengthening pills were given to Lin Feng by Huangfu Qian in order to claim credit for Xia Mo's achievements. He felt that he should find a suitable opportunity to expose this matter.
As for the river wind.
When Huangfu Qian realized that Jiang Feng's intentions were not right, he sent people to do the most tiring work to correct his mind.
Lin Fengzhi's body stiffened, and he raised his trembling eyes to look at Huangfu Qian.
He hoped Huangfu Qian would lie to him, so that he could submit to Huangfu Qian without feeling guilty and without any remorse. Obviously, Huangfu Qian was an upright person and would not do such a thing.
Lin Fengzhi turned his head with difficulty to look at Xia's father and the others, his eyes filled with helpless pleading.
To put it bluntly, Lin Fengzhi was weak. He didn't want to be the villain and hoped that the Xia family would kindly step forward and help him resolve his dilemma.
"I suggest you acknowledge Miss Xia as your master," Huangfu Qian thought that Xia Mo should take credit for this.
Lin Fengzhi stared wide-eyed in astonishment at Xia Mo.
Xia Mo was the girl he fell in love with at first sight, the girl he admired! If he were to acknowledge Xia Mo as his master, then they... would truly... be impossible!
Lin Fengzhi's throat bobbed up and down as he choked back sobs.
“There’s no need for him to acknowledge me as his master,” Xia Mo saw through Lin Fengzhi’s dark side. With a personality like that, it’s best to keep a distance.
Lin Fengzhi thought that Xia Mo also had some feelings for him, otherwise, why would Xia Mo...
Huangfu Qian looked at Xia Mo thoughtfully and asked, "Miss Xia, is it appropriate for him to acknowledge me as his master?"
“Suitable,” Xia Mo smiled and nodded at Huangfu Qian.
Lin Fengzhi's shadow side was triggered by this incident, and given Huangfu Qian's ability to discipline people, he can definitely be disciplined.
Huangfu Qian looked at Lin Fengzhi and said, "I agree, but you must understand that once you acknowledge me as your master, if you betray me, I will make you wish you were dead and suffer unbearable pain."
"Yes!"
Lin Fengzhi glanced gratefully at Xia Mo, then kowtowed three times to Huangfu Qian.
As Xia's father and the others watched the interaction between Huangfu Qian and Xia Mo, their hearts skipped a beat.
Could it be that the two of them...have been communicating in private?
Now, the Xia family is preoccupied with: when did their younger sister first contact the Prince of Jiang, and how did they meet without their knowledge...
Lin Fengzhi didn't dare look at the Xia family members, feeling guilty, but he didn't realize that the Xia family didn't take his behavior seriously at all. Xia's father and the others could even understand Lin Fengzhi's choice.
"Here, take this," Xia Mo said, handing over a small booklet that she had written long ago.
Huangfu Qian reached out and took it, staring intently at Xia Mo, waiting for Xia Mo's next words.
“This booklet also contains the recipe for a health-strengthening pill, but its efficacy is about 50% weaker than the medicine my master gave me,” Xia Mo said.
Huangfu Qian immediately understood after hearing Xia Mo's words.
Lin Fengzhi's eyes lit up as he looked at Huangfu Qian, his eyes practically overflowing with longing.
Huangfu Qian, however, expressionlessly put the booklet back into his pocket.
Lin Fengzhi looked at Xia Mo in astonishment and pleaded with her.
He hoped that Xia Mo could put in a good word for him and ask Huangfu Qian to give him the formula for the body-strengthening pills.
When Xia Mo received Lin Fengzhi's gaze, she smiled and met his eyes, then naturally looked away.
From the moment Lin Fengzhi's shadow side was triggered, Xia Mo had no intention of taking Lin Fengzhi under her command.
To put it bluntly, the booklet was a means for Huangfu Qian to better control Lin Fengzhi, and also a way to help Huangfu Qian.
“I will maximize the benefits of this booklet! I will not let your good intentions go to waste,” Huangfu Qian said earnestly, his face serious.
“Mmm-hmm,” Xia Mo responded cheerfully.
"Are you leaving now? It's getting dark," Xia's mother looked at the sky outside, glanced at Lin Fengzhi with pity, and said, "Fengzhi's bones have just healed, and he may need to rest for a while longer."
Xia's mother reminded Huangfu Qian not to overexert his arms and legs until Lin Feng's bones had fully recovered.
"May we stay here for the night?" Huangfu Qian asked.
Xia's mother looked at Xia's father nervously.
She meant to give a warning, but she never expected that Huangfu Qian would seize the opportunity to press his advantage.
“There are many things to attend to in the capital, so I cannot stay long,” Huangfu Qian added.
“Okay,” Xia’s father nodded.
It was almost nightfall, and he couldn't really let Huangfu Qian rush to deliver the information. At worst, he would just keep an eye on things more closely.
“Perfect timing. Our house is newly built and has many rooms, including three guest rooms. Apart from the one where Fengzhi lives, you can choose one to stay in,” Xia’s father gestured and led the person toward the guest rooms.
It was absolutely the right decision to place the guest rooms in the front yard!
Huangfu Qian followed Xia's father away without glancing to the side.
Brother Xia and Brother Xia Er exchanged glances.
After Huangfu Qian left, Brother Xia whispered, "Could it be that we're overthinking things? Jiang Wang is so righteous and upright. If he were interested in my little sister, he would definitely express it directly. I guess it's just because my little sister is an extraordinary person that he values us so much."
Brother Xia agreed with this and nodded.
Huangfu Qian was too dignified and acted in accordance with the rules, never going too far. He also maintained a proper distance in his interactions with Xia Mo. Gradually, the Xia family members lowered their guard against Huangfu Qian.
Little did they know, this was Huangfu Qian's deliberate act.
“Yes, Mother thinks that makes sense too,” Xia’s mother whispered in agreement with her two sons.
Next, Huangfu Qian could sense that the Xia family's wariness towards him had decreased, but that's another story.
* * *
Early the next morning—
Xia's father and the others saw Huangfu Qian off.
Brother Xia whispered to his father, "Father, it seems we were overthinking things. Young Master Huang values our family because my younger sister is an extraordinary person and because of my third brother. He has no other intentions."
Xia's father nodded seriously, agreeing with the logic, and thus lowered his guard against Huangfu Qian.
They all felt that Huangfu Qian was not the kind of pig that wanted to provide them with cabbages.
