Chapter 212 Giving in
Shen Jingxuan shook off Xie Lingxiao's hand and quickly came to the side of Mr. Xu.
She grabbed both sides of Xu Lao's shoulders with both hands: "Second Master? What did you just say?"
Shen Jingxuan seemed not to have heard clearly what he just said.
Her almond-shaped eyes stared at Mr. Xue, trying to confirm whether what she had just heard was true.
"No need to look for it, just go back and tell him." Old Xu looked grim and walked back with a wave of his sleeves.
When Mr. Xue saw his expression, he knew that Mr. Xu was hiding something from him.
Shen Jingxuan ignored Xie Lingxiao behind her and quickly caught up with Old Xu.
When they entered the study together, three pairs of eyes stared at Mr. Xu, making him feel uncomfortable.
"Don't look anymore, just sit down." Old Xu covered his lips and coughed lightly.
Shen Jingxuan sat next to him and looked at him expectantly: "Second Master, tell me what's going on."
Old Xu looked unhappy and felt reluctant.
Looking at Shen Jingxuan's expectant eyes, he couldn't bear to see her quarreling with Xie Lingxiao about finding the poison inducer.
He gritted his teeth and said, "No need to look for it. I just got the coral snake yesterday."
Mr. Xue's eyes widened suddenly. This old guy was increasingly looking down on him.
Yesterday, I was concerned about Xie Lingxiao's health and wanted to discuss it with Mr. Xu as soon as possible.
He waited until the sky was slightly bright before he finally saw Mr. Xu.
Mr. Xue asked him where he was going, but Mr. Xu avoided his gaze and after asking for a long time he still didn't get any answer.
He waited for most of the night, and this old man actually got the good stuff and deliberately hid it from him.
When Shen Jingxuan heard what Mr. Xu said, she was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
"Second Master, you are amazing." She couldn't help but praise.
Could it be that Mr. Xu had already known that the coral snake was needed and went looking for it for a day?
Having not seen Mr. Xu yesterday, she was still wondering why the man who had been inseparable from Mr. Xue all day long would suddenly go out alone.
Thinking of how Old Xu and Old Xue had the same ugly expressions just now, Shen Jingxuan narrowed her eyes slightly.
No, she was wrong.
The reason why Old Xu looked unhappy was not because of Xie Lingxiao's poison.
He just couldn't bear to leave.
For someone who loves to make poisons, the more poisonous something is, the more they like it.
Xu Laoding was reluctant to give up the thing because it was not easy to come by.
"Second Master, where did you go yesterday?" Shen Jingxuan stared at him, making Old Xu feel a little uncomfortable.
He knew that with Shen Jingxuan's intelligence, she would figure out what he was thinking without much thought.
But he couldn't bear to see her arguing with Xie Lingxiao over finding the poison.
If the two of them had not just been arguing, he would never have mentioned the existence of the coral snake.
"It doesn't matter where you go, what matters is that you get what you need back."
Old Xu looked at the people in front of him and became more and more annoyed.
When he thought about having to take out the treasure in his heart in a while, his heart felt like being cut by a knife.
It was a top-grade poisonous creature, and he wanted to keep it as a pet, but the idea was dismissed by the people in front of him as soon as he came to his mind.
The more Mr. Xu thought about it, the more depressed he became. He simply stood up and walked out.
"Second Master, where are you going?"
Shen Jingxuan looked at the depressed Mr. Xu and got up to chase after him.
If it wasn't urgent to detoxify Xie Lingxiao, she wouldn't have taken someone else's love away.
"Go get the silver ring snake. You wait here for me." After saying this, Mr. Xu disappeared at the door of the study.
He couldn't let anyone else follow him, and he wanted to say goodbye to the little baby properly.
When Shen Jingxuan saw Mr. Xu leaving alone, she retracted her steps and sat back in her chair.
"Master, don't you know that Second Master brought back the silver ring snake yesterday?"
Just by looking at Elder Xue's expression, he knew that Second Master had even concealed the truth from him.
Mr. Xue said angrily: "I asked him last night, but he didn't tell me."
The old guy used to show off to him any good things he had.
He got something good this time, but he managed to hold back from telling him. I guess he likes it very much.
After Mr. Xue finished speaking, the room fell silent for a while.
Shen Jingxuan also knew Mr. Xu's temper. She thought that he loved the coral snake very much and was reluctant to let it go, so he looked so unhappy.
She couldn't help but think that if possible, she would go find one and return it to Old Xu, so that he wouldn't get sick from being depressed like this.
Xie Lingxiao glanced at Shen Jingxuan from time to time, and felt a little anxious when he saw that she didn't even look at him.
Since Mr. Xue was in the room at the moment, it was inconvenient for him to go forward, so he had to sit there quietly.
Half an hour later, Mr. Xu finally came back.
Shen Jingxuan heard the footsteps and went out to greet them.
"Second Master."
Shen Jingxuan wanted to go forward and say a few words of comfort, but saw Old Xu waving his hand and pushing her aside.
"Don't get in the way, just detoxify."
Shen Jingxuan swallowed back the words of comfort she was about to offer.
Is she a hindrance?
"Can we detoxify now? Do we need to recuperate for a few days?" Shen Jingxuan asked hurriedly.
"It can be detoxified, and then recuperation can be done."
Old Xu threw a cloth bag to Old Xue and said, "Here it is, take care of it." Then he turned his back.
Mr. Xue slowly opened the cloth bag and took out the silver ring snake while it had not reacted.
I saw the coral snake, with a blue-black back with narrow milky yellow horizontal stripes, a dirty white belly, a black-brown head and back, and a row of scales in the middle of its back that were expanded into a hexagonal shape.
Just looking at its appearance makes people like it.
Shen Jingxuan couldn't help but glance at Old Xu. No wonder he felt reluctant to let him go.
No matter who you are, if you get this rare species, you will love it.
Mr. Xue has spent half his life with Mr. Xu and is the person who knows him best.
Seeing that he couldn't bear to look back for the last time, Mr. Xue took the coral snake and left the study.
Xie Lingxiao knew that because of his physical condition, Mr. Xu had to take out the silver ring snake that he particularly liked, and he felt bad about it.
"Second Master, I will find you an identical one later." Xie Lingxiao said.
Old Xu looked at him sideways and said, "You must keep your word."
He knew that this silver ring snake could not be saved. After all, Xie Lingxiao really needed to detoxify quickly.
But if there is a chance to get one in the future, that would be fine.
"Well, I will send someone to look for it soon. If I still can't find it after I recover, I will go and find it for Second Master myself."
After hearing what Xie Lingxiao said, Old Xu's expression eased slightly.
He doesn't care who comes to find him, as long as he can have another silver ring snake.
Mr. Xue returned to the study room. He went to the desk and started writing. After he finished writing, he handed it to Xie Lingxiao and said, "Let someone prepare it."
After Xie Lingxiao took it, he called Ling Feng and asked him to prepare the necessary things according to Mr. Xue's instructions.
Looking at Shen Jingxuan who had ignored her for a long time, Xie Lingxiao sat next to her.
"Xuan'er..." As soon as the words came out, Shen Jingxuan stood up and walked out.
Xie Lingxiao hurried forward to block her way: "Xuan'er, don't be angry."
He originally wanted to wait for Mr. Xue and Mr. Xu to leave before explaining to Shen Jingxuan, but now he couldn't care less.
Shen Jingxuan looked at him puzzledly: "I'm not angry, I just want to see how Ling Feng is preparing."
Xie Lingxiao didn't want her to take any risks, she knew it very well, and she had no intention of arguing with him.
"Go and rest for a while and wait for your master to detoxify you." After saying that, Shen Jingxuan walked around Xie Lingxiao and went out.
The more Xie Lingxiao looked at Shen Jingxuan's calm appearance, the more guilty he felt for some reason.
After a while, Ling Feng prepared everything that Mr. Xue needed and brought it over.
Elder Xue and Elder Xu kept Xie Lingxiao and drove out everyone else in the room, including Shen Jingxuan.
