Chapter 455: Chapter 455: Don’t Want Someone to Warm Your Bed

Qi Kun stared ahead, slowly reminiscing about the past.

"Nie Fang’s father was a renowned physician of his time, with a family lineage that even included an Imperial Physician, and they had a unique secret formula. The problem began with this secret formula."

Qi Kun paused for a moment, looked at the silhouette of Nie Fang not far away, and sighed, "Good things attract a lot of attention. My master was a very upright person who dedicated his life to medical research. He took on several disciples, one of whom was my senior brother. My senior brother might not have been the most talented, but he was handsome and had a gentle temperament. Everyone has their youth, and during their interactions, Nie Fang quickly fell in love with my senior brother. But my senior brother..."

Qi Kun paused again and shook his head slightly, "His appearance was not a coincidence but a meticulously crafted conspiracy. His family was in business, and he joined our master’s faction to learn medicine, merely to steal our master’s secret formula."

"His plan was to use Nie Fang’s admiration for him to obtain the formula and then use it commercially for huge profits. The formula contained a forbidden drug, and if it fell into the wrong hands, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Because of her love for the senior brother, Nie Fang, under his well-crafted guidance, revealed the secret code to the safe containing the formula, and thus, the senior brother sneaked into the study one night and stole the formula."

"It was a mere coincidence that my master woke up in the middle of that night and discovered him. In trying to stop him, my master suddenly suffered heart palpitations. Yet, the senior brother did not help, watching as my master struggled and died, before fleeing with the formula."

The words carried a heavy sense of pain.

Qi Kun’s eyes were slightly red, and he sighed deeply.

"Afterward, Nie Fang fell into endless pain and self-blame. She wanted to seek revenge on the senior brother, but he was nowhere to be found. It was only later that she discovered all the information he left behind was fake. No one knew his real name or where he went afterward."

"Nie Fang’s revenge efforts bore no fruit, and in utter hopelessness, she jumped off a cliff, the final place being this secluded valley. She didn’t die because I caught her at the last moment, and we both fell together."

"In the subsequent decades, we’ve lived in this secluded valley. Because of what happened with the senior brother, she no longer trusts men and was very resistant to my closeness, so I could only carve out a separate area in the valley to live next to her. This companionship has lasted decades."

With the memory ending, Qi Kun looked at the woman not far away, a trace of tenderness flashing in his eyes.

His looks were ordinary, and in his youth, he could only secretly admire her.

Perhaps it was fate rewarding his deep affection by giving him a chance to accompany her into old age.

Though she rejected his closeness, at least this valley was shared by only them.

Over the decades, he could clearly feel the change in her attitude towards him.

From initial resistance to gradual indifference and finally to a sharp tongue with a soft heart, he enjoyed living like this.

Willingly making sacrifices for her.

After hearing Qi Kun’s account, Yin Moran looked at him, "Old Sir Qi is a deeply affectionate person and an example for young people like us to emulate. In the future, I will strive to be like Old Sir Qi, responsible only to the woman I love and my children."

The young man’s height and long legs, coupled with his powerful and noble aura, exuded sophistication.

Qi Kun’s thoughts returned, and he glanced at him with a sidelong look, snorting haughtily.

"Don’t try to butter me up; don’t think I don’t know your purpose."

Upon hearing this, Yin Moran smiled, "Talking to a smart person like you is truly effortless. Old Sir, we need you to come out of seclusion and help us bring Ziyang out of the laboratory."

"You want me to come out? And why should I?"

Qi Kun’s old eyes shifted, "No matter what, Lin is my disciple and has been like my son for so many years. Whereas you are just a stranger to me, and there’s no reason for me to help a stranger. Unless you have a better reason to convince me."

Hearing these words, Yin Moran chuckled softly, his dark eyes sweeping towards the distance, where Lin Qian had finished tidying up the kitchen and walked over to Nie Fang’s side, "Old Sir Qi, do you really want to keep living next to Senior Nie? Don’t you want someone to warm your bed at night?"

Qi Kun: "..."

The cheeky lad truly understood his heart!

If he heard that his grand-disciple was poisoned, even without their request, he would still take a look to see what was going on.

But if their help could bring him closer to Nie Fang, why wouldn’t he agree?

Over there, Lin Qian sat down beside Nie Fang, obediently helping her dry the herbs.

Nie Fang peered at her, observing her quiet profile, her old eyes slightly moved.

From the side, this woman resembled the woman she saved ten years ago even more.

"Young girl, where is your family?"

Does she have any connection to the woman from ten years ago?

Hearing this, Lin Qian’s hands paused slightly.

"My family... my background is a bit complicated. At birth, I was taken by mistake, and for selfish reasons, my biological father left me in another family. At nineteen, I and the child I was swapped with regained our identities, then my adoptive father, for money, offered me to a man, and this man..."

Lin Qian briefly summarized the situation, explaining her connection with Yin Moran and Chu Yelin to Nie Fang.

Nie Fang listened attentively, observing Lin Qian’s fresh appearance, deep in thought.

She was another unfortunate child.

Never having met her birth mother, could the woman from ten years ago be...

"Grandma, it’s obvious that Old Sir Qi listens to you. Could I ask you to say a good word for us and have him help us get my son out? As long as I can ensure my son’s safety, I’ll do anything you ask."

Lin Qian’s pleading voice interrupted Nie Fang’s contemplation.

She looked at Lin Qian and met her clear, bright eyes, which were a bit urgent. Raising an eyebrow, she said:

"You’ll do anything? Even if it means staying at the valley’s base with this old woman for a lifetime?"

Staying at the valley’s bottom for a lifetime?

Lin Qian was stunned, momentarily at a loss for words.

It wasn’t that she was unwilling, it’s just...

"Hm, a woman who says one thing and means another."

Nie Fang snorted coldly, rolling her eyes at Lin Qian.

"I can help you, but you must often come to the valley base to see me and cook me good food."

She was just teasing her, not really intending to keep the person in the valley bottom.

Lin Qian was stunned again, and once she realized, she was overjoyed.

"Grandma, are you agreeing to help us plead our case? Don’t worry, I’ll definitely come to see you often and make good food for you."

"Hmph, each of you is like this, full of sweet words when asking for help, but ungrateful afterward," Nie Fang said with a proud look on her face.

"How could that be? Grandma, I can swear..."

"Ahem, Qianqian, what are you and the senior talking about?"

Yin Moran and Qi Kun approached the two of them, smiling and asking.
