Chapter 422: Jigsaw Pieces
"Besides this, has he told you anything else?" Bai Sinan's voice suddenly rose, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.
The two were startled by her sudden excitement. Shen Xi hesitated for a moment before answering, "My benefactor did tell me... If someone can pass the test in the future, I will give this to him."
As he spoke, he took out an object that looked like a puzzle piece from his arms and handed it to Bai Sinan carefully. "We don't understand the use of this thing either. We are just following your request."
Bai Sinan stared down at the fragments in his palm, and his fingers tightened unconsciously. "Okay... I understand." Her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.
Seeing this, Zhou Die couldn't help but ask, "Benefactor... is he okay now? Can we see him again?"
"I don't know..." Bai Sinan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I have never seen him since I was born..."
"How can this be?!"
After Bai Sinan told everything he knew, there was a long silence in the air...
"That's the thing... That's why I wanted to ask you about my father."
Shen Xi sighed: "This is all we know, and it happened decades ago... I wonder if this can be of any help to you and your benefactor."
"Even if there is only a glimmer of clue, I will never give up." Bai Sinan looked determined, and suddenly remembered something, "Oh, Shen Xi, the elixir you asked me to refine before..."
"What elixir? Are you refining that elixir again?!" Zhou Die suddenly interrupted Bai Sinan and questioned Shen Xi, her tone full of surprise and worry.
Shen Xi was startled and quickly explained: "Die'er, listen to me, this was not my intention! You also know that my benefactor relied on that pill to help you and me regain our sanity. I just didn't expect Miss Bai to find the source of the basement directly, so..."
Seeing Shen Xi's flustered look, Bai Sinan asked curiously, "Is there anything special about this pill?"
Seeing Zhou Die turning away with a cold face and ignoring him, Shen Xi's shoulders slumped and he whispered in a frustrated tone, "Do you remember the herb called 'Qidi' in the elixir?"
"remember."
"That's actually my heart's blood..."
Bai Si Nan was stunned: "But you have already... Where did the blood come from?"
This time, it was Zhou Die who answered her, still sulking: "Because our spiritual bodies are special now. Although we have no physical body, we still have a heart. And this heart is the key to our maintaining sanity."
After that, she glared at Shen Xi fiercely: "So he is seeking death by using his heart blood to refine the elixir!"
"Die'er...don't be angry...I really didn't mean it..."
"Humph!"
Bai Sinan suddenly felt the pill in his palm burning hot. His fingertips curled up unconsciously and he laughed dryly: "How about you eat it yourself? Maybe you can make up for it..."
"Not for him!" Zhou Die snatched the pill and stuffed it back into Bai Sinan's hands. "He's already refined it, so he deserves to have a short memory. Miss Bai, take this pill. Although it's usually useless, if you really go to the ancient battlefield, this pill can help you stay awake to a certain extent. Consider it a gift from us to you."
“Isn’t this a bit bad…”
"There's nothing wrong with it!" Shen Xi quickly agreed, "You are the daughter of my benefactor, so it's only right for us to repay you. And in the past few decades, you are the only one who found me and refined the elixir. So you can keep it with confidence."
