Chapter 318 – Plagiarising a Novel (1/2)

“That’s north!” Ru Xin pointed her thumb backwards.

Li Qingshan could not be bothered with dealing with her. “Just how much are you selling the Water of Recollection for?”

“Hah. I originally refined it for fun, but I never thought I’d actually be able to sell it.” Ru Xin’s smile vanished, and she extended her hand. “A hundred spiritual stones for a bottle. Thank you for your patronage!”

Li Qingshan ground his teeth. “Weren’t you joking earlier?”

Ru Xin said, “And who’s fault is it that you didn’t laugh? This must be very important to you, right?”

“I’m being serious here. Stop messing with me.”

Li Qingshan grabbed her hand. The Water of Recollection was extremely important to him, and it was not just for writing novels. It was for Xiao An too.

“One spiritual stone, two spiritual stones, three spiritual stones…”

“What are you doing?”

“Calculating your fee!” Ru Xin glanced at the hand he held.

Li Qingshan shook away her hand immediately.

Ru Xin smiled. “Forget it, forget it. Doctors treat their patients with the same selflessness as parents to their children. Seeing how anxious you’ve become, I can’t bring myself to charge you. I’ll just give you this bottle of Water of Recollection.”

Li Qingshan asked, “Since when were you so nice?”

Ru Xin said, “Though, promise me one thing.”

Li Qingshan said, “What thing?”

Ru Xin whispered, “When you fight the disciples of the school of the Military again, be more heavy-handed with them. It’s best if you beat them until they’re half-dead!”

“So much for treating your patients with the same selflessness as parents to their children!”

“Children won’t listen unless they’re disciplined.”

“Fine. I’ll be going then.” Li QIngshan casually agreed to it. He accepted the Water of Recollection and stowed it away in his hundred treasures pouch. He was in a hurry to rush back and experiment with it.

“Hold on, three spiritual stones.”

“What three spiritual stones? Didn’t you give it…” As Li Qingshan said that, he saw Ru Xin extend her hand over with a smile. You’re actually charging me!?

“Fine then. Let’s do a hundred spiritual stones then.” Li Qingshan grabbed Ru Xin’s hand and stared straight into her eyes.

“Four spiritual stones, five spiritual stones…” Ru Xin was unperturbed. She began to count.

However, this was not a particularly quiet place. Instead, it was a dispensary where people came and went. Many disciples of the academy came here to buy medicine. When Li Qingshan grabbed Ru Xin’s hand earlier, he had already attracted some attention.

Ru Xin was a great beauty renowned throughout the academy for quite some time now, while Li Qingshan was a prominent figure at the peak of his prominence.

“Oi, oi, look.”

“Does Li Qingshan have that kind of relationship with senior sister Ru Xin? How courageous of him!”

“Thirty-three, thirty-four…” Ru Xin maintained her smile. She snorted. “You’re actually serious?”

“I think I can afford a hundred spiritual stones.” Li Qingshan wanted to teach a lesson to this improper woman.

“Then let’s go for it. Are spiritual stones really that easy to make?” As Ru Xin snorted; her face blushed slightly, but who knew whether it was from embarrassment or anger.

“Li Qingshan, what are you doing!?”

Two furious bellows rang out from outside the dispensary simultaneously.

One of them was Chu Tian, radiating with five-coloured true qi, while the other person was actually Han Qiongzhi. They both glared at Li Qingshan furiously.

Chu Tian had looked over along Qian Rongzhi’s gaze, and he immediately spotted Li Qingshan. He blazed with hatred when he saw his enemy, and when he saw how he was with Ru Xin, he could not help but follow them over. From the moment he had arrived at the school of Medicine and spotted Ru Xin for the first time, he had begun treating her as his woman.

He saw Li Qingshan holding Ru Xin’s hand the moment he arrived, and Ru Xin actually seemed like she allowed him to too. He immediately felt like he had been betrayed. He was utterly furious, tempted to lash out and kill Li Qingshan with a palm strike.

As for Han Qiongzhi, she heard that Li Qingshan had woken up, so she wanted to come take a look at him. Unfortunately, this visit utterly enraged her. Hua Chengzan stood with his arms crossed with a smile as he stood to her side. This kid sure has some bearing. He seems to be able to get all the ones I can’t get. He could not help but think of Gu Yanying. He shook his head. Impossible.

Li Qingshan was slightly surprised, and Ru Xin took advantage of this to pull her hand back. She said resentfully, “Thirty-five spiritual stones.”

“I’ll pay once I get the remaining portion of the goods.”

Li Qingshan waved his hand. He did not even look at Chu Tian, directly making his way over to Hua Chengzan. “Chengzan, what brought you here? Senior sister Han, long time no see. Why are you glaring at me?”

“Fuck your grandfather!”

Through the use of true qi, the voice clearly rang out in Li Qingshan’s ears. Li Qingshan felt like he had been struck by lightning, as the voice came from neither Han Qiongzhi or Chu Tian. It came from Ru Xin.
