Chapter 539: Harvest Spirit Stones
Li Suixin glanced at Li Dejun, a little disappointed with the performance of the head of the Li family in Chancheng.
This kind of behavior is a bit embarrassing for the Li family!
With such a short-sighted and stingy patriarch, it’s no wonder that the Li family in Chancheng has almost lost its generation.
He shook his head slightly, but ignored Li Dejun. Instead, he took out the wine gourd with a flick of his fingers, removed the stopper and drank a large gulp of wine.
Just as he was about to take another sip, Tao Ruyi's slightly concerned voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "Xixin, when did you start drinking?"
Li Suixin narrowed his eyes and felt joyful for no reason. He turned to look at Tao Ruyi and said via voice transmission: "Ruyi, are you caring about me?"
"We are collaborators related to life and death, and we are still very good friends. Isn't it normal for me to care about you?" Tao Ruyi replied with a calm face.
This answer was not what Li Suixin wanted. He raised his neck and took another sip of medicinal wine, and looked straight into Tao Ruyi's clear eyes with the strength of the wine.
Stare!
At first, Tao Ruyi was calm and composed, directly filtering Li Suixin's fiery gaze.
Gradually, Tao Ruyi could not help but frown slightly, avoiding Li Suixin's burning eyes, and turned to look outside the stone room.
Later, Tao Ruyi was finally defeated. Although her cheeks were hidden behind a black veil, the tips of her ears and forehead were exposed, but they were still somewhat rosy to the naked eye.
Here, there was shame, anger, and her own complicated thoughts. The many emotions suddenly rolled like waves, making Tao Ruyi, who had always been cold and calm, almost lose control.
Even though she restrained her thoughts in time, Tao Ruyi's clear eyes still had ripples and were covered with a layer of mist.
It was just a moment of tears, but Li Suixin captured it immediately.
What's going on?
Li Suixin, a straight man with a worrying emotional intelligence, was suddenly confused. How could Tao Ruyi, who had always been calm and wise, be so aggrieved just because he stared at her for dozens of seconds?
How is this possible?
Li Suixin was puzzled and suddenly realized something. He turned around and saw Li Dejun's slightly joking eyes and somewhat distorted expression.
It turns out that this is the problem!
Almost without thinking, Li Suixin's eyes immediately froze and became extremely cold, looking at Li Dejun coldly.
The cold voice seemed to come from the north and south poles, rushing directly into Li Dejun's mind: "I accepted people from the Li family in Chancheng who came to seek refuge, but it does not mean that I have completely forgiven the Li family in Chancheng, nor does it mean that I agree that I have become the Li family in Chancheng.
A member of the family!
You'd better follow the rules and do your job well. In that case, even if you don't make any achievements in this experience, I won't treat you badly! However, if you have evil intentions and dirty intentions, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Li Dejun's scalp was numb, and he had a sense of déjà vu that he had failed in his immediate boss's good deeds.
He did have some dirty thoughts in his heart just now, he wanted to drive a wedge between Li Suixin and Tao Ruyi, and then look for opportunities to gain more benefits.
But he didn't expect that Li Suixin would have such a strong reaction.
Just as he was about to explain, he thought that Li Suixin was scolding him through a secret message. He could only resist the urge to defend himself, nodded and huddled aside, not even daring to raise his head.
It’s incredible that the head of the Li family in Zen City could endure such grievances!
So wronged!
Li Suixin turned around, Tao Ruyi still regained her composure, and her expression was as cold as when they first met.
For a long time, Li Suixin thought that he and Tao Ruyi had a close connection, a tacit understanding, and a feeling that they would "match" each other no matter what.
Until this moment, Li Suixin knew that even though he knew Tao Ruyi's biggest secret and weakness, he didn't understand Tao Ruyi at all.
To be precise, I don't know the relatives around Tao Ruyi, and I don't know whether the relatives around Tao Ruyi will accept such a "playful carrot" like him, and what difficulties Tao Ruyi will encounter at the family level.
Thinking of this, Li Suixin couldn't help but have a headache.
At first, when he and Yang Huiyun fell in love, they were already an old couple. But once they started talking about marriage and the prospective parents-in-law came on the scene, the situation immediately took a turn for the worse.
Then, he changed from Li Suixin, whose eyes sparkled when Yang Huiyun saw him, to Li Suixin, who Yang Huiyun disliked at first sight, with flaws and no merits.
Li Suixin let out a long breath, thinking about so many women around him, he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
Even if Tao Ruyi doesn't dislike him, Tao Ruyi's mother is the commander of the Dragon Guard Zhulong Division, so how can she accept such a "scumbag" like him!
Perhaps it would be the most comfortable and correct choice for him and Tao Ruyi to maintain the relationship as ordinary friends.
After gathering his thoughts, Li Suixin temporarily put aside his worries and took out a medical book to study.
This is what Li Suixin likes to do most when he is upset and unable to calm down and practice.
But before I read two lines of words, Tao Ruyi's concerned voice came from my mind: "Xixin, you haven't answered my question yet! Why did you start drinking?"
This... again?
Li Suixin turned to look at Tao Ruyi, and saw that Tao Ruyi's eyes were clear and indifferent, as if it was just a chat and concern between friends.
Putting away the medical book, Li Suixin showed a faint smile on his face, with a calm look, and replied calmly: "Ruyi, this is not alcoholism! It's medicinal wine brewed with a very special method, which can cure the disease."
It has the same effect as elixir.
The difference is that medicated wine can use the power of alcohol to better spread the medicinal power throughout the body and exert its medicinal power faster, allowing monks to improve their cultivation while drinking. If you don’t believe it, you can taste it!"
Tao Ruyi nodded slightly, her eyebrows stretched, and the voice sounded in Li Suixin's mind again: "Suixin, there is black mist everywhere here. Why do spiritual stones and nine-color divine dew appear in places where the black mist is most concentrated?"
Li Suixin smiled faintly and replied via voice transmission: "I don't know the specific reason, but according to my speculation, this phenomenon occurs because the Hell Tower world is dominated by black liquid energy, and this energy affects other attributes.
Energy is exclusive.
The black liquid energy from the surrounding area is gathered in the spring, but it also absorbs other energy contained in the surrounding area, and over the years, like filtering, these other attributes of energy are abandoned here as filters!
Ruyi, I am just analyzing the possible reasons, which may not be accurate and can only be provided for your reference!"
The two began to communicate normally again, but Li Suixin's mentality had calmed down and he no longer had "unreasonable thoughts."
As time passed, as the Si family brothers and sisters and others continued to refine the Nine Color Divine Dew, Li Suixin collected all the stalactites one by one and gave them to Tao Ruyi to put away.
Just after the last stalactite containing spiritual stones was collected by Li Suixin, there was a sudden shaking in the cave.
