Chapter 396: Bring Him Over

Xia Xibei had been living in the Land of Fantasy for over twenty years. She was still an orphan in this lifetime and was brought home by master.

Her master was also a lone man, and he didn’t know how to raise a child. When she started talking, he simply gave her all sorts of books. Once she learnt how to study on her own, he made her learn things by herself.

Fortunately, the soul that resided in her body was a mature one, with powerful self-control. Besides, she had suffered way too much because of her uneducated background and lack of experience, so she took it all very seriously.

Her great spiritual power also enabled her to learn extraordinarily fast.

That was the reason why in just twenty years or so, she had acquired expertise in applying and resolving poison, apart from mastering medicine.

The kind of parasitic venom that Jiang Liran was poisoned with was a piece of cake to her.

“Of course I know how to cure it,” she said placidly.

Her confidence caused Jiang Yuran to become anxious once again.

“Could you please come over to have a look at him then?”

Qiao Yanjue spoke for him too, “Help him, will you?”

“Resolving the poison is not a big issue,” Xia Xibei nodded, “But he has to come over on his own.”

“Why?” Jiang Yuran blurted out.

Wasn’t it more convenient for her to travel to the capital?

“Because I need to go to school!” Xia Xibei stared at him as if he was an idiot.

Jiang Yuran’s mind went blank all of a sudden, then he came to his senses—Xia Xibei was still a student, for Christ’s sake!

They had picked her up from her high school just today!

God damn it! It turned out that she was only a high school student!

Jiang Yuran’s lips twitched and his jaw hung open with shock.

How in the world was a high school student so incredibly capable? Who on earth was she?

At that moment, he had the same exact doubt that Huo Zijun was having.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Alright, tell your brother about it, and bring him over as soon as you can.”

Qiao Yanjue patted him on the shoulder, waking him from his deep shock.

“Sure!” Jiang Yuran nodded right away.

“Oh, by the way, don’t let him know my age,” Xia Xibei added.

It was really interesting to look at the ever-changing expressions on Jiang Yuran’s face, the look in his eyes a complicated one.

He would never tell her age, even if Xia Xibei hadn’t reminded him.

If Jiang Liran knew that the one who would be treating him was a 17-year-old little girl, he would surely berate him for being nonsensical.

Being scolded wasn’t a big deal because Jiang Yuran was used to it, so it wouldn’t do him any harm. He was only afraid that his older brother wouldn’t be willing to come, and it would be very tough to persuade him.

“Rest assured, I know what to do.”

When he finished speaking, Jiang Yuran fumbled to take out his phone immediately, going to stand beside the windows to make the call.

Huo Zijun looked equally curious, “I didn’t know you knew all that.”

“Because I’m a genius!” Xia Xibei flashed him a lovely smile.

Huo Zijun wanted to ask more, but Qiao Yanjue cut him off, “Alright, enough. Let’s carry on eating. You can talk about it later.”

Huo Zijun shot him a glare, almost throwing a fit.

Jiang Yuran quickly ended the call.

“How did you tell him about it?”

All of them were curious.

“I told my mom that I found a genius doctor who can treat my big brother, and that I’ll bring him over,” Jiang Yuran looked a little proud.

If he talked to his brother directly, he sure wouldn’t want to come, but their mom would certainly haul him here at all costs.

Everyone in the family was worried about him, and they wouldn’t miss out on any chance that might improve his condition.

All of them gave him a thumbs-up.

After the meal, they were ready to head back.

Xia Xibei came to a stop when they were at the door. She stared at a random tall guy for a moment, then walked up to him and patted him, “Brother Hai!”

The ordinary-looking guy was startled. When he saw Xia Xibei, he smiled and asked in a quiet voice, “You can recognize me?”

“Of course. I made this thing after all,” Xia Xibei smiled at him too.

“Bei, who’s this?” Qiao Yanjue came over and asked, cautiously looking at the guy.
