That night, the sky was filled with stars and the moon was like a silver plate.
A circle of gentle moonlight enveloped the entire land, covering it with a layer of gorgeous clothes. It was a quiet and beautiful night scene.
In the Chen Family Village, inside the Jishi Medicine Hut, Dongfang Bai hurriedly ran into the medicine room and rummaged through the cabinets.
"Where are the silver needles? Where did it go?"
Dongfang Bai frowned and rummaged through the pharmacy. Everything was there except for the silver needles he needed to give Zhu Moxie. He closed his eyes and tried to recall if he had missed anything.
However, after a while, she could not figure out where she had thrown it.
Just as he was at his wit's end, the door of the pharmacy was pushed open with a creak.
A middle-aged man in his thirties walked in with a smile on his face."Xiao Bai, what are you looking for?"
Hearing the voice of the newcomer, Dongfang Bai hurriedly turned around and asked,""Father, where are the silver needles? Why can't I find it?"
Dongfang Shuo smiled warmly and took out a small cloth bag from his pocket. He opened it up and saw that it was filled with needles of different lengths."Father went out to treat someone just now and brought it along.”
Dongfang Bai lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong and said in a low voice,""When I went out to pick herbs at noon, there was an accident. However, he was saved by someone. However, in order to save me, he suffered internal injuries.”
As she spoke, she recalled the various scenes of her meeting with Zhu Moxie. Her small face couldn't help but turn red. It was very moving.
Dongfang Shuo's eyes darted around thoughtfully when he saw her acting like a little girl.
Immediately, his eyes revealed a hint of understanding. He was someone who had experienced it before, so how could he not know what his daughter was thinking?
He immediately took two steps forward and handed the silver needle to Dongfang Bai. He patted her shoulder and praised her with a smile,""That's right. She knows how to repay kindness. This is my good daughter.”
"Thank you, Daddy!"
Dongfang Bai took the cloth bag and held it tightly in his hand. The joy on his small face was obvious, and he quickly thanked him.
Just as she was about to leave, Dongfang Shuo stopped her and asked,"
"Xiao Bai, the person you treated, was it that youth in the front hall?”
Dongfang Bai nodded his head slightly. There was nothing to hide in front of his father.
Moreover, she and Zhu Moxie didn't seem to have anything to hide.
Dongfang Su's brows furrowed, but they soon relaxed. An inexplicable smile appeared on his face as he said,""If possible, you'd better get closer to that youth.”
When these words entered Dongfang Bai's ears, it was no less than a clap of thunder.
She was so shocked that her delicate body trembled violently. She turned around and looked at her father with a face full of surprise. She asked in confusion,"Why?"
She had always had a good impression of Zhu Moxie. Although it wasn't a deep affection, at least she liked the feeling of being with him.
At this time, her father had personally told her to get closer to Zhu Moxie, which made her think a little crooked.
"Haha, the few people who followed him were noble and overbearing. Their every move had the demeanor of a superior. As for that young man, I actually couldn't see his depth.”
Dongfang Shuo narrowed his eyes and stroked his beard with his left hand. He laughed and said firmly," However, those four extraordinary people follow the young man's lead. From Father's decades of experience, this child is definitely above everyone else. If you can have a connection with him, perhaps you can bring glory to your family.”
Thinking of this, Dongfang Shuo squinted his eyes and a flash of excitement appeared.
If he relied on his daughter to make the family proud, Dongfang Shuo would be a hero of the Dongfang family. After he died, he would be able to meet his ancestors proudly.
Listening to his father's words quietly, Dongfang Bai's heart was not as calm as before. He frowned and bit his lips lightly, his expression a little gloomy.
She had thought that her father was a good man who helped the world and had no selfish desires in his heart. He was the greatest father.
Seeing his father's attitude today, the pillar of support in Dongfang Bai's heart instantly collapsed.
It turned out that her father wasn't a saint. He was just a powerful person who didn't care if she liked him or not.
He only treated her as an object to gain benefits.
Suddenly, Dongfang Bai's eyes turned red. He looked at Dongfang Shuo and said righteously,""I don't want to!"
She had always been an extremely strong-willed woman. Even if she had a good impression of Zhu Moxie, she would never be able to cling to a man for benefits.
"Nonsense!"
Dongfang Shuo raised his eyebrows and angrily flung his sleeves,""I'm making this plan for you. If you marry into a wealthy family, you'll be rich and have everything you want. Why do you have to continue to suffer in such a small mountain village?”
"Hmph, I have my own path to take. I can't be bothered to talk to you.”
Dongfang Bai was in a low mood and did not want to be entangled with him anymore. After refuting him, he left.
She lowered her head and jogged all the way. Before she reached the front hall, she saw Zhu Moxie sitting alone on the stone bench at the back of the hall with his head lowered in deep thought.
With light steps, he quietly arrived behind Zhu Moxie. His expression was not good as he said in a muffled voice,""Take off your clothes. I'll give you acupuncture. Once your injuries are healed, leave immediately!”
Hearing this, Zhu Moxie was slightly stunned. He raised his head to look at Dongfang Bai's pretty face, only to see her eyes red and watery, as if she was about to cry.
He immediately panicked. Why did the shy little girl become cold after looking for the silver needles for a short while?
"What's wrong?" she asked with concern.”
As he spoke, he reached out to her pretty face, wanting to wipe away her tears.
"Don't touch me!"
With a cold shout, Zhu Moxie's hand suddenly froze in mid-air.
Immediately after, Dongfang Bai sniffed and met Zhu Moxie's eyes. He asked seriously,""Answer me honestly. If you lie to me, I will never talk to you again!”
Zhu Moxie's heart ached a little. Two completely different attitudes in such a short period of time, what exactly was going on?
Hearing her words, he seemed to know what she wanted to ask and nodded heavily.
"Alright, let me ask you, are you a member of the Great Ming Imperial Family?”
Dongfang Bai stared straight into his eyes, trying to find out something from the change in his expression.
What was supposed to come would come. Zhu Moxie shook his head and sighed. He said calmly,"
"Almost…"
The scumbag father who abandoned the Dongfang girl had to be blackened. It would be uncomfortable if he did not!
