This master physician had just helped her, and he seemed to have a free-spirited, unconventional personality.
Ji Qingwu felt both respect and a bit of curiosity toward him, so she followed.
Le Xi had something hidden in his right hand. He smiled and said, "Hold out your hand."
Though Ji Qingwu was confused, she still held out her hand, fair and delicate in the light.
Suddenly, a ring was slipped onto her index finger.
The ring was neither gold nor jade, but a pure, matte black. It was made of some special, frosted material. 'It almost seems like a magnetic stone,' Ji Qingwu guessed.
Le Xi said, "This is for you. Hmm..." He paused, choosing his words carefully, and swapped what he was about to say for something else.
"Just consider it a thank-you gift."
'A thank-you gift? What on earth for?'
Ji Qingwu said in surprise, "By all rights, I should be the one thanking you. I haven't done anything to deserve this, and I can't possibly accept such a valuable gift."
