Chapter 1071: Teacher and Junior Apprentice
Xia Xibei couldn’t help but think back to the beginning.
She was found by her teacher, who was a roughneck and didn’t know how to take care of a child.
It could be said that if she had not been clear-headed and knew how to take care of herself, she would probably have died young, let alone grown up at all.
After that, many things were learned on her own initiative, because she knew that only by mastering more power could she make herself stronger and secure her freedom.
However, at the age of ten, she had a fellow apprentice.
Although he was a junior apprentice, he was a few years older than her, and from what the teacher said, he was the child of an old friend.
Her mental age was different, so even if the junior apprentice was a few years older than her, she could still play up being an older sister with confidence.
This apprentice did not know anything at the beginning, and she taught him everything.
In the process of teaching him, she also gained a lot of knowledge that she didn’t have before.
It could be said that she was able to have such proficient skills and a variety of rich knowledge due to her efforts back then.
In her learning career, it seemed that her junior apprentice was a little more instrumental than her teacher.
After that, she had an accident during a pill-refining session, died, and came back to the present.
Her sudden death should have made them a little sad.
However, both her junior apprentice and teacher were strong; they should both have been able to live a good life despite losing her.
The junior apprentice should have gotten married now, and someone like her teacher could live anywhere and wouldn’t need her to worry about him.
Qi Zhi’an noticed that Xia Xibei’s expression was in a bit of a trance, not knowing that his words had caused her to reminisce.
“Little Xia?” he couldn’t help but call out.
Xia Xibei was awakened by his shout and smiled, “My teacher is not in this world anymore.”
Qi Zhi’an showed an apologetic expression.
His understanding was that Xia Xibei’s teacher had pa.s.sed away, so he was not in this world anymore.
Even though he wanted to know the ident.i.ty of Xia Xibei’s teacher, after what she had said, how could he ask more questions?
He hurriedly changed the subject.
“By the way, how do you plan to use these flower pistils?”
“One of my relatives hurt her leg, so I want to use these pistils in the medicine.”
Xia Xibei did not hide it from him. Anyway, her ident.i.ty was already exposed.
“I’m going to use some herbs to grind together…”
Xia Xibei said the names of a few herbs, making Qi Zhi’an feel even more rewarded.
“When you are done, can you let me take a look?”
Qi Zhi’an was intrigued.
“Yes,” Xia Xibei nodded her head. Qi Zhi’an was so eager to help, how could she refuse?
Besides, it wasn’t a secret.
Actually, in this world, this was a secret. After all, not many people had this knowledge.
However, this kind of primary skill was very common in the Land of Fantasy, and the formula was known to everyone.
After getting Xia Xibei’s permission, Qi Zhi’an immediately got excited.
“Okay then, call me when you’re done!”
He couldn’t wait to see the finished product.
“Okay,” Xia Xibei nodded, then stood up. “Thank you for the bone lotus, I have to go back.”
“Alright,” Qi Zhi’an nodded, then walked her out.
Just after sending her away, Qi Zhi’an turned around to go back when he suddenly stopped, his brow furrowed.
“Come on out.”
His voice was cold and hard, and his expression was serious, carrying a heart-stopping aura.
After all, he was a superior person, with an aura that others could not resist.
Soon, a woman walked out from the side with a sheepish expression.
“Uncle An.”
