"Should we just tell him the truth?" Chen Qingzhi asked tentatively.

Chen Zhiyi shook his head.

"No. He has no cultivation. If he knows, he will definitely take risks for us. That would be too dangerous. That place is not somewhere ordinary people can go. Besides, there are still those people there. Let us endure a little longer. Once our cultivation recovers, we can solve everything."

"I will listen to you, brother."

Chen Qingzhi said this dejectedly and resting his chin in his hand.

At that moment, Chen Yufei ran in with light steps and a smile on his face.

"Second brother, what did you do this time? Did big brother scold you again?"

"I did nothing today." Chen Qingzhi quickly changed the topic. "How was it? Did you settle Senior Xiao in properly?" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Mm, Senior Xiao has a very good temper."

Chen Qingzhi looked toward Chen Zhiyi and asked carefully, "Big brother, can I tell Senior Xiao that I am actually a girl?"

"Yes."

Chen Zhiyi nodded, then gritted his teeth slightly.

"Senior Xiao is a good person. It is fine to tell him. But outside, you still need to continue pretending to be a boy."

"Oh! Big brother, second brother, hurry and take this mid-grade antidote pill!"

Seeing that Chen Zhiyi agreed, Chen Yufei was very happy.

Only when his excited gaze fell on the jade bottle on the table did he remember the most important matter.

He immediately picked up the bottle, opened it, and poured out two pills, he then handing them to Chen Zhiyi and Chen Qingzhi.

Both of them stiffened at the same time.

Chen Zhiyi froze for a second, then calmly took the pills and put them back into the jade bottle.

He looked at Chen Yufei’s confused eyes and said, "Not in a hurry. To completely remove the poison, we still need to find a medicinal catalyst. After taking it for a period of time, then we can take the antidote pills."

"Oh! Is that so? What is the medicinal catalyst? Is it easy to find? Do we have it in White Silver City?"

Chen Yufei asked anxiously.

Seeing his younger sister so worried and asking repeatedly, Chen Zhiyi who was seventeen years older than Chen Yufei smiled lightly.

In that instant, it was like fireworks bursting and starlight shining, so dazzling that Chen Yufei felt slightly dizzy.

"It is fine, do not worry. It is quite easy to find. The city’s pharmacies have it. I will write the prescription tomorrow, and you can just buy it. As for these two mid-grade antidote pills, how much did that senior... ask for? I will go take spirit stones and repay him tomorrow."

Only then did Chen Qingzhi remember he had not yet explained the antidote pills situation to his brother.

He was about to speak.

But Chen Yufei had already said happily, "Senior Xiao said I do not need to do anything else. I just need to exchange them with Spirit Sand. Tomorrow I am going to dig a lot of Spirit Sand for Senior Xiao."

"Is that so? Then you should go back and rest early. Otherwise, you will not have the strength to carry the sand tomorrow. Your second brother’s storage bag can be lent to you."

Chen Zhiyi said in a tone clearly used to coax children.

"Then I will go rest first. Big brother, second brother, you should also sleep early."

Chen Yufei obediently nodded and turned back to his room.

After Chen Yufei returned to his room, Chen Qingzhi asked, "Big brother, what do you think that man wants Spirit Sand for? Could he also know about that place..."

"Probably not. As for why those seaside sands have a similar weak effect, we do not know either. But compared to that thing, the sand’s effect is far too weak. There is no need to worry about it."

Chen Zhiyi shook his head.

Chen Qingzhi nodded, then glanced at Chen Zhiyi’s eyes with envy and muttered softly, "Still, brother, you are too cunning. You clearly know the ability of your eyes, yet you used them to confuse Yufei. What if she ends up only liking you in the future and not me?"

"You are overthinking it. My eyes only have the ability of vision enhancement. They cannot confuse people." Chen Zhiyi’s mouth twitched slightly when he heard this, and he said somewhat unwillingly, "At most, when I use the ability, people will just feel that I am a little special."

After Chen Yufei left, Xiao Shou lay on the bed and rested for a while.

However, since he was not in his own cave residence, he could not let down his guard.

No matter how he tried, he could not fall asleep.

In the end, he simply sat up and circulated his spiritual energy in meditation, entering a state of cultivation.

It felt as if only a blink of an eye had passed before the night was gone.

When he opened his eyes again, both his physical exhaustion and mental fatigue had eased significantly.

He took a long breath, got out of bed, and stretched his body.

Feeling much more relaxed, he used a cleansing technique to tidy himself up before opening the door.

To his surprise, the moment he opened it, he saw Chen Yufei standing there in women’s clothing while holding a storage bag.

Her eyes were red, her face full of gratitude, while her two brothers stood nearby with helpless expressions.

In an instant, lines from the original story surfaced in Xiao Shou’s mind.

The book never mentioned that the Chen family had a younger brother.

It only said they had a younger sister who died early.

So Chen Yufei was actually a girl in disguise as a boy.

No wonder her name sounded somewhat feminine.

Xiao Shou suddenly felt that his intelligence needed upgrading.

He awkwardly smiled and asked, "What happened to you all?"

"Senior Xiao."

Upon hearing him ask, Chen Yufei immediately rushed over and grabbed his arm whil crying as she spoke. "Meeting you was really the best thing... Rourou... sob... she... it is too tragic... sob... how can there be such bad people... Rourou she... sob..."

"Hey, stop crying."
