Chapter 352 Asking the Reason
At the gate of the inn, Shen Li had just finished giving Su Ran detailed instructions. He looked serious and solemn, and repeatedly emphasized that the fact that Xuanfeng Sanren and Chu Qiu had been seriously injured must not be revealed to his father Shen Shaodong.
Just at this moment, Shen Shaodong, Shen Xuan, Zhao Lin, Luo Feng and others came out in a hurry.
Shen Shaodong looked up and saw his daughter had returned unharmed. His tense heartstrings finally relaxed a little, his face filled with relief. He said softly, "I've waited so long in this inn, my heart hanging in the air. I thought you had met with some misfortune in the palace."
Shen Xuan quickly chimed in, "That's right, sister. We're trapped in this inn, like we've been blindfolded and deafened. We can't hear a single word of news from the outside world. There's nothing we can do except wait patiently."
Shen Li listened to her father and brother's words, her heart filled with guilt, her eyes showing deep apology. She looked at them and said, "It's my fault. I made my father and brother so worried. I'm really sorry!"
As she spoke, she thought to herself: This crisis is a life-or-death situation. If I really die, I can't imagine how deep my father and the others will fall into grief. I'm afraid they will be heartbroken.
Forget it. I will find a suitable opportunity later to ask the little koi how he managed to escape danger so miraculously.
Because the carriage had been jolting on the road for three hours, Shen Shaodong saw that his daughter looked tired, and it was getting dark, so after a few brief greetings, he let Shen Li go back to her room to rest.
Before Shen Li left, he glanced at the little koi. The little koi understood, stroked his beard, and said in a serious tone, "Disciple, I have something important to tell you. I need to give you some instructions in detail."
Upon hearing this, Shen Li bowed respectfully and replied, "Yes, Master, I will follow you right away."
The maid serving Shen Li hurriedly bowed and left. Chu Qiu gently closed the door after Shen Li and his disciple entered the room.
As soon as she entered the room, Shen Li couldn't contain her inner anxiety and asked, "Xiao Li, tell me quickly, what is going on?"
The little koi said angrily, "That day, as soon as I stepped into the room, I saw you lying lifeless on the bed, uncertain whether you were dead or alive.
The doctors at the Xiqi Palace were all mediocre; not a single one could save you! In a rage, I took you away. On the way, I fed you the spiritual spring water from the small bottle, but you didn't react. At that moment, I was extremely anxious!
At this moment, I suddenly heard Bai Fan whispering in my ear. So, I found an excuse to send Chu Qiu and Su Ran away, and Bai Fan immediately revealed himself and used his inner elixir to save you. Afterwards, he… he transformed back into the bracelet.
Shen Li subconsciously stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist, a puzzled look on her face as she asked, "What exactly is the inner elixir? Why does it have such miraculous effects?"
The little koi fish paused slightly, then answered hesitantly, "The inner elixir is the source of the spirit pet's cultivation. It is the crystallization of its own spiritual power and magical power. It can also be said to be the spirit pet's second life."
Shen Li was shocked when he heard this and asked, "What about his inner elixir..."
The little koi nodded dejectedly and whispered, "It's still inside you..."
Shen Li frowned and said worriedly, "No wonder the jade bracelet Bai Fan transformed into has become so dull. But how can I take out this inner elixir and return it to him now..."
The little koi stood there, shaking its head and saying nothing.
