"Xingxing, I’m sorry, I misunderstood."
Xiao Qi was truly apologetic, he had been narrow-minded.
He only thought of it as something harmful, but hadn’t considered that without understanding the problem, there would be no way to solve it.
"I know what you mean, you feel like it’s harmful and shouldn’t be touched. You never thought that if we don’t know about it, how we could tailor a solution to this problem. Brother, your brain isn’t quite working, huh."
After Bai Zhi finished setting up, she then continued forward.
Only then did Xiao Qi realize that this child Xingxing really... spoke some piercing words.
Yet, he found himself with no comeback.
"Yes, yes, yes, you are right. It’s my fault." When it came to admitting his mistakes, he was quick to do so.
The three of them continued onward, Bai Zhi scattering Medicine Powder as she went, with Wu Wa carrying Goh You behind her, and Xiao Qi bringing up the rear.
After about fifteen minutes, there genuinely were no snakes in front of them.
This whole way, Xiao Qi saw so much that it made his scalp tingle.
"Xingxing, are you sure this is really the path up the mountain?"
If so, then Fang Ya and Goh Fei must have been taken up by the same route; he finally understood why they couldn’t find their way.
With so many poisonous snakes, how were they supposed to locate the path?
If not for Xingxing’s Medicine Powder.
"Xingxing, how come you’re carrying this Medicine Powder?" Could it be that Xingxing had known about the snakes all along?
"We have mountains here, we always carry it wherever we go. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Oh, and I can also sell it to outsiders. Brother, if you ever want to buy some, I’ll give you a discount."
Bai Zhi realized that she had found another path to riches.
"Do we still need money between us, when our relationship is so good?"
Xiao Qi was just curious to see how the little girl would respond; now that his scalp was tingling, he needed to divert his attention. Otherwise, his mind would be filled with braids.
"No way, crystal clear accounting between even blood siblings; making this Medicine Powder is quite troublesome, so if you use it, it’s only fair to pay. Today’s is a gift of friendship."
Bai Zhi never thought about sharing the business of Medicine Powder with Bai Xiang; it was her own small undertaking. She didn’t plan to expand—just to supply Xiao Qi and earn some pocket money.
"Alright. I’ll buy it..."
With such effective Medicine Powder, not buying it would be foolish.
"Is there anything else? Tell me all about them, then quote me a price, and I’ll make a list. I want those Detoxification Pills too. Do you have anything else?"
Xiao Qi discovered that Xingxing was a treasure trove of a girl, seemingly able to do anything.
"There’s nothing else for now, just these two. If I have anything new, I’ll let you know."
Bai Zhi shook her head; she had already spent a long time on just these two.
They continued forward when suddenly Bai Zhi stopped and looked around.
There was a Formation here as well, but it was just a simple blind eye technique.
"What’s wrong, Xingxing? We’re nearly at the front."
As the light grew closer, Xiao Qi grew more eager.
"That’s a blind eye technique; it looks close but is actually far away. Step in, and it could be an abyss. Brother Xiao Qi, let’s wait for daylight—there’s not even a few hours left. It’s too dark now, I can’t see clearly..."
If they made one wrong step, who knows what might happen.
Bai Zhi immediately scattered some Medicine Powder where they were sitting, then took a seat and pulled out her backpack. There wasn’t much water left, and even less food—they had to conserve what little they had.
"Xingxing, I want to ask, who taught you all this?"
Xiao Qi was curious as to who could have taught Xingxing to be this way.
"Haven’t you already met? The Old Han you talked about, he is my master."
