I Can Grant Origin Powers To Anything

Chapter 264: Please Care for Single Dogs



Father Wang left.

Everything that needed to be done was completed, and if he lingered here any longer, his daughter's jealousy might just drown the entire Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion.

It must be noted that even when Wang Qingya was in school, he only sent a private driver for her once.

Although Wang Qingya might secretly spoil Xu Lingjun more than Wang Tiancheng did, if Wang Tiancheng were to do so openly, his daughter might truly lose her temper.

Plus, there were a whole slew of issues waiting at home...

Before leaving.

Xu Lingjun transferred three hundred million to Wang Tiancheng, asking him to use his connections to help acquire a batch of Primordial Spirit Potion.

Father Wang didn't ask why Xu Lingjun needed such potions; he was more surprised as to how Xu Lingjun had so much money, even though he had transferred the shares of the business he'd been busy with this past month to Xu Lingjun.

But considering the renovation, demolition, and re-renovation processes before.

Though business was good, it was not yet time to reap the profits.

Xu Lingjun naturally wouldn't say he sold his three thousand academic credits.

Gu Xi had not been shy about selling credits during this period.

According to her, that little girl named Jun Qing had already started showing symptoms of complications.

Once the muscle nerves deteriorate, it'll be very hard to recover later on... During this period, Gu Xi was almost entirely supporting herself on her stock.

To save that little girl, Gu Xi was truly going all out, risking moral judgment, putting her life in danger, and almost facing death...

Now that she fulfilled her promise to Xu Lingjun, Xu Lingjun certainly wouldn't let her down.

A week after Father Wang left.

A full thirty-five bottles of Primordial Spirit Potion had already been sent to Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion.

Wang Tiancheng's connections were indeed extensive. With an average price of ten million per bottle, he managed to secure five extra bottles with the three hundred million cash.

In a remote town about two hundred miles away from Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion.

A simple two-story courtyard house rented out.

When Gu Xi arrived here with the metal box Xu Lingjun had given her.

She was warmly welcomed by a family of three...

For Gu Xi, who often took care of their family of three—if not for her, they might have been unable to hold on for long—they were extremely grateful to her.

"Thank you so much, thank you so much, Teacher Gu... really, thank you so much..."

Jun Qing's father appeared honest and simple, a man who had worked facing the dirt and back to the sky for years, unfamiliar with the world. Especially upon learning that a single dose of his daughter's special medication cost a million, within less than two short years, he seemed to have aged more than twenty years overnight.

Now, seeing Gu Xi bring so many special medicines.

He couldn't help but shed tears of gratitude, kneeling directly before Gu Xi, hugging his partner and sobbing.

And Jun Qing.

The little girl whom Gu Xi took care of all along, now about fifteen or sixteen years old, wore sportswear washed until it was slightly faded, yet it didn't look shabby. Instead, it gave her an air of delicate purity.

Her ponytail bounced as she moved, like a cute little rabbit...

Only her expression seemed peaceful, without a trace of the vivacity a young girl should have, as if life's early hardships had matured her prematurely.

She looked at the heavy box in her hands, inside which were thirty-five bottles of Primordial Spirit Potion, neatly arranged.

To her, this was the weight of life. But more than its weight, she was evidently worried about something else.

"These cost at least more than three hundred million. Without connections, you probably couldn't buy them even if you had the money."

Jun Qing looked up at Gu Xi with some concern and asked, "Sister Gu, where did you get so much money?"

"Your Sister Gu didn't sell herself, nor did she sell her dignity, let alone pawn her soul."

Gu Xi reached out to tap her forehead and smiled, "This is your problem, don't be so steady, be happier... With these potions, at least for the next three years, you don't have to worry about Primordial Spirit Potion issues. As for after three years... I have a friend willing to provide you long-term support. After these potions are used up, he'll bring more for you. He will support you all the way to the Profound Realm!"

"And the price? I know there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world."

Nobody understood the meaning of 'price' better than Jun Qing.

Ever since her sister died, ever since she got this illness...

Their relatives had all distanced themselves from them.

To afford treatment, they even sold their house. If not for the mentor of the sister in front renting this courtyard for them, the family of three might have had no place to stay.

If this was the attitude of relatives, then what about... a stranger.

"It's not without a price, but I've already paid it."

Gu Xi lightly described, "He found a pregnant Demon Beast in the Secret Realm and wanted my help to kill the mother beast. Just half a month ago, we went to the Secret Realm, and although there were some thrills, we managed to turn danger into safety. I've fulfilled my promise, and he's a person who keeps his word; he'll continue to support you, so you don't have to worry about the potion. You just need to seriously consider applying to the Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion this year. You must know that because of your illness, you've fallen behind in many courses."

"It's all right."

Jun Qing smiled and said, "Even while lying in bed recently, I haven't been idle. I've been studying my Liberal Arts courses!"

She didn't ask if Gu Xi got injured; for the counterpart to pay such a significant price, the process must not have been as simple as Sister Gu said. The gratitude lingered in her heart, intending to repay her someday... even if she couldn't repay it, she would try anyway.

No need to ask too clearly.

"Thank you, Sister Gu."

"Just don't blame me."

Gu Xi reached out and gently embraced the young girl, smiling, "You're naturally talented, and the Primordial Spirit Potion can stimulate neural responses. Besides curing your illness, it can greatly benefit your body. As long as you pass the entrance exams for Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, that's repayment enough."

"By then, I want to ask Sister to be my Teaching Assistant."

"Please don't... Your Sister Gu is a student slayer, and you don't have..."

Gu Xi thought for a moment and said, "I have some experience, but if you can't withstand bullets with your body, don't consider this; people really could die."

They stayed for a meal.

Under the enthusiastic encouragement of Jun Qing's parents, Gu Xi left the Jun Family. The young girl stood quietly in the courtyard, watching her, emotions surging in her eyes but not showing on her face. Finally, she gently hugged the box, murmuring, "Now, what I owe her and that kind-hearted person may never be repaid in this lifetime."

And Gu Xi, carrying a bit of relieved intoxication, walked down the street back to Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion.

Watching Xu Lingjun, who was eating sesame paste noodles messily at a street stall, even his coarse eating manner didn't seem ugly. Instead, it exuded a sense of free-hearted neatness. You could only say that looking good makes every action, even taking a dump, unique.

Especially eating.

She walked over, poured Xu Lingjun a cup of tea, and sincerely said, "Thank you."

"It's what I should do."

Xu Lingjun quickly finished his noodles, took a napkin to wipe his mouth, and laughed, "You gave me such a huge advantage; actually, I'm the one who benefited from you."

Gu Xi asked, "Why didn't you come in with me just now?"

"You paid so much for them; why should I take away any of their gratitude towards you?"

Xu Lingjun said, "I traded with that little girl, while you were doing it for free... At times like this, it's not appropriate for me to show up."

He smiled, "But I just secretly looked over from outside the wall; that little girl is not bad, steady in temperament, seems not to be an ordinary person."

Gu Xi said, "She's just less than two years younger than you, yet you call her 'little girl' so maturely."

"Hahaha, my mindset is old."

Xu Lingjun laughed, surveying the surroundings, and said, "I was wondering why you're invisible during the day, aside from sparring with me at night. Turns out you come here to train other young girls."

"She has a decent talent, a good chance to get into the Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion. My personal guidance would definitely improve her chances."

Gu Xi said, "By then, I want to ask you to be her Teaching Assistant, how about it?"

Xu Lingjun shook his head, spreading his hands, "No, I don't need those academic credits, nor do I seek that trouble, you handle it yourself. After all, you two are familiar."

"We'll talk about it then."

Gu Xi didn't say more on this topic.

And Xu Lingjun paused and said, "I'm planning to leave for the Imperial Capital from Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion tomorrow."

"So early? You won't go with the main group?"

"I have serious matters to attend to."

Xu Lingjun said.

He thought to himself; indeed, it's a serious matter, a life-long affair — could it be any less important?

Seeing Xu Lingjun's expression, Gu Xi couldn't help but pout, thinking it must be related to Wang Qingya. Damn it, even when they're miles apart, they can still shove dog food in my face — impressive, but they don't care at all about us single dogs!

As Xu Lingjun was about to say something, his phone suddenly vibrated at his waist. He took it out.

Looking at the caller...

It was Father Wang.

At this moment, outside the Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion boundary, Father Wang could naturally get in touch with him.

Xu Lingjun answered the phone...

Wang Tiancheng's voice came through, saying, "Xiaojun, the matter you asked me to investigate, I've found some clues."
