The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 248 Can’t Be Greedy for Drinks (1)_1

Situ Xin couldn’t help but sigh in her heart at the power of love. Look, just because she had saved Xiang Yang once, Mei now looked at her as if she were her own lifesaver.

Watching such a Mei, Situ Xin’s playful side surged. She walked up to Mei, intending to whisper something into her ear. However, given her height and the 170 cm Mei, there was just too much of a difference. Frustrated, she gestured for Mei to bend down.

Now, after hearing Xiang Yang’s honest talk last night about his previous physical condition, Mei felt utterly grateful to Situ Xin. So, at Situ Xin’s gesture, she obediently lowered her head, a far cry from the clawing and snarling she’d directed at Situ Xin the day before.

Whispering into Mei’s ear, Situ Xin said, "You have good taste." With that, she glanced at Xiang Yang.

And after hearing what Situ Xin had said, Mei’s ears even turned red.

But Situ Xin wasn’t about to let Mei off so easily. Smiling, she continued, "However, your pace isn’t that impressive. Until now, he doesn’t even know how you feel. Really, tsk. If you want to win that handsome man, you’ll have to step up your game. I’m rooting for you." After speaking, the smile on Situ Xin’s face deepened.

Now, Mei’s redness spread from her ears to her entire face. Xiang Yang, Xing, and the others watched as Situ Xin and Mei whispered to each other, completely in the dark about what was said to make Mei blush so much.

Mei was so taken aback by Situ Xin’s words that she didn’t even have the courage to look at Xiang Yang. But, she was incredibly surprised; she had never expected their new leader to not mind the Dark Division members dating.

Indeed, there were no rules in the Dark Division explicitly forbidding relationships between members. However, Old Deng didn’t approve of them either. So, the members just quietly abided by this unspoken rule.

She had never planned on voicing the thoughts in her heart, ready to silently cherish her own secret affection, attentively watching over Xiang Yang from the shadows.

But the few words that Situ Xin had just whispered in her ear kindled a different flame in her heart. So, after Situ Xin finished speaking, Mei stared at Situ Xin with wide eyes, trying to confirm that she wasn’t hallucinating.

Sensing what was on Mei’s mind, Situ Xin told her, "Go for it, I’ve got your back."

Situ Xin’s words made Mei blush even more and she even shyly lowered her head. Meanwhile, Xiang Yang and the others watched the interaction between Situ Xin and Mei, completely puzzled.

They looked at Situ Xin and Mei, hoping the two would give them some hint.

But Situ Xin coughed lightly, then took a small porcelain bottle out of his pocket and passed it to Xiang Yang, "Here, this contains an elixir that will treat the old injuries you’ve suffered over the years. The effect of the elixir will be slow, so after you swallow it, your internal injuries won’t heal immediately. Instead, it will gradually treat the wounds inside your body. It’s not suitable for your injuries to be healed all at once; that would actually harm your health." Situ Xin added one last sentence.

"Thank you, Leader." Xiang Yang gratefully took the small porcelain bottle containing the elixir from Situ Xin. Although he hadn’t seen what the elixir inside looked like, just from the bottle it was in, Xiang Yang knew it was something precious.

If Situ Xin knew what Xiang Yang was thinking, who knows how she would have felt. Her space was filled with heaps of small porcelain bottles like this one. And ever since she had the processing plant, she had even more varieties of these small bottles. She estimated that their numbers would keep growing in the future.

After Xiang Yang and the others left, only Situ Xin and Situ Mu Li were left in the study. Situ Xin gestured to Situ Mu Li to place the documents on the desk.

"Situ Mu Li, I’m asking for your opinion one last time. Do you choose to follow me, or would you prefer to live the life of an ordinary person?" After giving Situ Mu Li his name, Situ Xin realized that his name sounded exactly like Xiao Muli’s "Mu Li," even though they were written differently. Since then, she always addressed him by his full name.

"Yes, I am sure that I want to follow you, Miss." Situ Mu Li said, not only because Situ Xin had saved him and given him a new name and identity but also because in the Situ Family, he’d felt a warmth that had been absent for so long. That’s why he wanted to stay.

"I just gave you your last chance to back out. Now, you no longer have any chance to regret your decision. If one day you decide to leave, I will erase all memories from your mind that you shouldn’t know." With that, Situ Xin believed she had done right by him.

"Since you’ve decided to stay, then as someone by my side, you can’t be too weak. I’m not saying you should be able to ensure safety, but at the very least, you should be able to protect yourself. I don’t want to be implicated someday because of your incompetence." As she said this, Situ Xin took out another small porcelain bottle similar to the one she had given Xiang Yang, but not exactly the same, and handed it to Situ Mu Li. "This is a Marrow Cleansing Pill."

"Marrow Cleansing Pill?" Situ Mu Li’s eyes widened in surprise when he heard Situ Xin mention the Marrow Cleansing Pill, and he looked at her.

Seeing Situ Mu Li’s reaction, Situ Xin knew he had heard of the Marrow Cleansing Pill and was also aware of its effects, otherwise, he wouldn’t have had such a reaction. Frowning, she thought to herself, "Could it be that there are other cultivators in this world?"

"You know about the Marrow Cleansing Pill?" Situ Xin pushed aside her own thoughts and turned to ask Situ Mu Li. She wanted to confirm from him whether there really were other cultivators in existence. If there were other cultivators out there, Situ Xin felt she needed to enhance her own strength as soon as possible. She was concerned that if the enemies of the Situ or the Loo Families one day sought cultivators to target her family, she needed to be powerful enough to confront them and protect her loved ones.

"Yes, I know of the Marrow Cleansing Pill," answered Situ Mu Li without hiding anything.

"Where did you learn about the Marrow Cleansing Pill?" Situ Xin asked with furrowed brows.

"I learned of it from an ancient book from my previous organization. The leader of that time showed the book to the top three in terms of strength in our organization and wanted us to find this Marrow Cleansing Pill for him. After years of searching by the three of us, we ended up with nothing. Later on, my former leader included, all of us came to believe that the Marrow Cleansing Pill didn’t exist in this world." As he spoke, Situ Mu Li played with the small porcelain bottle in his hand and said in a complex tone, "I never expected that the Marrow Cleansing Pill truly existed in this world and that I would be so fortunate to obtain one."
