Chapter 220 - 219: Raising the Entire Audience by Oneself
While Qin Liuxi and Master Chi Yuan were bickering, Si Tu and his daughter were also talking, sobbing—the father crying and the daughter trying to console him.
"Father, please don’t cry, my head really hurts," Si Lengyue said after refreshing herself, her face pale, showing a bit of frailty.
Si Tu’s crying stopped abruptly as he looked at her anxiously and asked, "Headache? Do you want the little Taoist to come over and take your pulse? The Qinglan Temple Master said her medical skills are excellent."
Si Lengyue’s eyes softened, "If you stop crying, it won’t hurt that much."
Si Tu almost cried again, "You think your dad is useless. Indeed, as a father I’m really of no great use, all I can do is cry, but Dad can’t control his tears. If something happened to you, how would I live? How could I face your mother underground?"
"Father, it’s just an ordinary soul departure..."
"Don’t say it’s ordinary. In the past, when you had soul departures, we never saw such a ferocious old ghost possess you," Si Tu thought of the ferocious appearance of Deng Shiniang and felt a pang of fear, saying, "Thankfully that little Taoist had the ability to drive away that dead ghost. Otherwise, if she had occupied your body, who knows how she would have mistreated you, and you might not have returned."
Si Lengyue subconsciously touched her neck, which was bare. The Jade Talisman that she always had with her was gone. She had also heard from the maidservants about the dangerous situation she was in after being possessed earlier when she was bathing.
"Miss, the medicine is here," a maid brought over a bowl of steaming medicine, saying, "Please drink it while it’s hot, so it doesn’t hurt your stomach."
"Right, right, drink it quickly," Si Tu urged, then instructed the maidservants, "In the next few days make the diet finer for the young lady. Avoid greasy foods, and make sure it’s light and clear. Be sure to strain out the oil carefully, and don’t let the young lady eat something that upsets her stomach."
"Yes," the servants replied in unison.
