Chapter 1260: So That’s What Happened
Lin Qiao walked to the armchair nearby and sat down as she said, “She went back seven years ago and brought back uninfected catmint.”
Wu Chengyue, Teng, and Wu Yueling all popped their eyes and looked at her.
“What does that mean?” Wu Chengyue looked at her with confusion, failing to understand her meaning. Teng and Wu Yueling were even more confused than their father. Teng didn’t believe it, and Wu Yueling didn’t understand what ‘back seven years ago’ meant.
Wu Chengyue knew what it meant but didn’t think it was possible, which was why he looked at Lin Qiao with confusion.
Lin Qiao spread her hands and said, “I don’t know what has happened to her exactly. According to Lin Feng, she went back seven years ago and brought back a big amount of uninfected fresh catmint from the past. She has already sent a part of the catmint to your base. That’s why I asked you to send your men back there to tell Xiao Yunlong to speed up the manufacturing, and then send a few samples to me to let me try them.”
Wu Chengyue had a strong mind, so he soon calmed down. But, he still had doubts.
“So, you’re saying that she disappeared because she traveled through the time to the past?” He looked at Lin Qiao and asked.
Lin Qiao believed that he wouldn’t tell anyone else about it, so she told him the truth straightforwardly. He seemed not to want to believe it, but also felt that he had to believe it. The look on his face made her want to laugh. “Yeah. Don’t you believe me? Yeah, it does sound unbelievable. But, once your men return to your base, you’ll be hearing about the catmint,” she said.
Wu Chengyue spent quite a while staring at her, then nodded and said, “It’s not that I don’t believe it. I just needed some time to process it. However, as I’ve learned what has happened to you, I now think that your sister’s story is probably true.”
On hearing his words, Lin Qiao stopped short, then recalled what happened to herself. Exactly, she herself died and then came back to life wearing someone else’s skin. She didn’t know what brought her back to life, but she guessed that Lin Wenwen’s foreseeing power might be what brought her back to the past.
She had even forgotten about what happened to herself. It seemed that she had gotten used to Lu Tianyu’s body.
Teng looked at Lin Qiao and took a tumble. He slightly opened his little mouth, then said, “Oh, so Aunty went back to the past! How amazing! No wonder I felt that she’s fine. She traveled through time! She managed to bring things back from the past? She was still able to use her s.p.a.ce when she was in the past?”
That was such a marvelous skill! She was actually able to bring things from seven years ago to the present!
“Unimaginable, right? I never thought that she’d experience something like that. I guess she was not only able to use her s.p.a.ce in the past, but also her power to see the future. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have brought back the catmint,” said Lin Qiao.
“Oh, Okay. I’ll soon tell Licheng to send some people back to inform the base,” Wu Chengyue nodded.
Speaking of catmint reminded Lin Qiao of something. She narrowed her eyes to look at the outside and found that Duan Juan was still in her room. Then, she quickly stood up and disappeared in front of the kids and their father.
Wu Chengyue and Teng were confused by her movement, having no idea why she left suddenly.
Lin Qiao came out of her s.p.a.ce and said to Duan Juan, “Duan Juan, did Lin Feng send something to me along with the letter?”
Duan Juan smiled as she stood up and nodded, “Yes.” While speaking, she raised a hand and handed her a bagful of roughly packed catmint. She was holding the bag when she came in, but neither Wu Chengyue nor Lin Qiao noticed it.
“I knew it!” Lin Qiao happily took it over and then disappeared in front of Duan Juan.
After giving the bag to Lin Qiao, Duan Juan turned and left the room.
As Wu Chengyue and Teng were still wondering why Lin Qiao suddenly disappeared, she came back while holding a bag.
“What’s that?” Wu Chengyue immediately noticed the bag in her hand.
“The cure for Yuan Tianxing,” Lin Qiao dropped the bag while speaking, then opened the bag and took the catmint out. Then, she found a bowl and poured some water in. Next, she crushed the catmint with her hand and put it in the bowl. After stirring in the bowl with her finger a few times, she put the bowl on the table and left.
“What is she doing?” Wu Chengyue glanced at the bowl, then at Lin Qiao’s back.
“What do you think she’s doing? Didn’t she just say this is the cure for Uncle Yuan? She’s going to get Uncle Yuan out of the lake, of course!” Teng rolled his eyes and said to his father.
Being reminded by the boy, Wu Chengyue recalled that Lin Qiao had put Yuan Tianxing in her lake earlier.
“Tianyi, prepare a bathrobe for me, or a big towel.” On her way out, Lin Qiao said to Lu Tianyi who was pa.s.sing by. At the lakeside, she released a cloud of black mist and took off her clothes, then leaped into the water.
Lu Tianyi stopped walking. After watching Lin Qiao jump into the lake, he helplessly turned around and walked into the house to find her the bathrobe she asked for.
A short while later, Lin Qiao brought Yuan Tianxing out of the lake and threw the naked man out of the mist, straight to Lu Tianyi, who was waiting for her by the lake. He wrapped Yuan Tianxing up with the bathrobe, then carried the man in his arms and walked toward the house.
As Lin Qiao put on her clothes and came into the house, Yuan Tianxing was already put on the couch. Lu Tianyi was standing next to the couch with Teng held in his arms while Wu Chengyue was staring at Yuan Tianxing with his arms folded. Ling Ling was hiding behind her father’s legs, looking at the purple-skinned Yuan Tianxing with fear.
Yuan Tianxing did look a little scary at that moment.
Looking at Yuan Tianxing, Wu Chengyue couldn’t help but twist his lips and look at Lin Qiao as he said with discontentment, “When can people go down into your lake without taking off their clothes? Or, when can you bring the energy in the lake up to the land? Isn’t it a little inappropriate for people to always get into your lake naked?”
“Haven’t you gotten used to it yet?” Lin Qiao gave him a bland glance and said, “I don’t even mind. Why do you mind?”
“Of course, I mind.” The smile on Wu Chengyue’s face was gone, and he looked at her expressionlessly. How could he possibly not mind? He was clearly aware of the condition of her lake, and had been telling himself not to care too much about it. However, watching her bring the naked Yuan Tianxing out of the lake while she herself was naked too, he felt utterly uncomfortable, even though he understood that she had no choice.
How weird was her treatment method! It was reasonable for him to be unhappy about others touching her body. Which man would be happy to let other people see or even touch the body of the woman that he liked? He honestly felt uncomfortable about it. He felt very uncomfortable!
