He rubbed his hands in embarrassment:
"Hey, girl, don't be angry. The old man is either stalking you on purpose, or he just feels that the ten thousand taels are too much to earn! Even though we are short of money, we can't bully a little girl like you without conscience, right?"
Chu Liuyue raised her eyebrows.
"If you are here for this, there is really no need, because in my eyes, the red stone is indeed worth ten thousand taels."
Not only is it worth it, it’s simply great value!
But the old man didn't believe it at all, and shook his cattail leaf fan:
"Hey! Girl, don't be so polite! The old man has seen red stones that range from 100,000 to 90,000. That's really not worth 10,000 taels! How about this, how about I give you something else as compensation?"
Chu Liuyue shook her head: "Not interested."
The old man's face suddenly fell.
This girl is too difficult to deal with!
"Why are you here? It's better to tell me directly."
The old man couldn't help but feel even more embarrassed when he saw Chu Liuyue's indifferent expression and her pair of bright black eyes that seemed to have seen through everything.
"Actually... I just want to ask you a question: Who is your master?"
Although there were no Force fluctuations on her body, and those few movements were very simple, he could tell at a glance that they were definitely derived from one or more advanced martial arts!
There must be a top master behind her!
Otherwise, she would never be able to suppress a third-level warrior like Lu Zhitao so easily!
His life has been very boring these years. It would be great if he could learn from each other!
Chu Liuyue narrowed her eyes.
"What good will it do if I tell you?"
The old man scratched his head in distress.
He doesn't have much money on him, and the other party doesn't seem to be short of money either...
After thinking for a long time, he finally patted his head and pulled out a jade pendant.
"Why don't you exchange it for this? This is worth some money!"
Chu Liuyue lowered her head and glanced, her eyes flashing slightly.
It was actually a jade pendant engraved with a mysterious talisman!
And it seems that the grade of the mysterious talisman is not low...
The value of this thing is definitely not low! He actually gave it away so casually
"really?"
"Of course it's true!"
Seeing that Chu Liuyue seemed a little moved, the old man quickly stepped forward and thrust the jade pendant into her hand.
"My old man doesn't really need this thing anyway. If you like it, just take it!"
Chu Liuyue thought about it for a moment, then simply handed the thing over.
Since the other party dares to give it away, she naturally dares to accept it!
"Okay, then I'll tell you the truth - I don't have a master."
Chu Liuyue said simply and frankly.
The old man's expression, originally full of expectation and excitement, froze in an instant.
"What? No master? How is this possible!? Could it be that all of your kung fu is self-taught!?"
Chu Liuyue coughed.
She really couldn't explain this.
"I really don't have a master."
Of course the old man didn't believe it and grabbed Chu Liuyue's wrist:
"You girl, if you don't tell the truth-"
Halfway through his words, he suddenly paused, looking at Chu Liuyue with a look of shock gradually appearing in his eyes.
"you you…"
Chu Liuyue frowned slightly and planned to break away.
"...Are you that girl from the Chu family?"
Chu Liuyue was stunned.
The other party recognized her without seeing her face
But in her impression, there is no such person
When the old man saw that she was silent, he became even more unbelievable:
"Are you really Chu Liuyue? Your original bloodline is not—"
It turned out that he was identified by taking his pulse.
Chu Liuyue breathed a sigh of relief and simply took off the hat.
"I am indeed Chu Liuyue, who are you?"
Seeing the beautiful face appearing in front of him, the old man was stunned for a moment.
"It turns out you are already this big...that's not right, your original veins—"
Halfway through his words, he suddenly paused, and for a moment he really didn't know what to say.
When Chu Liuyue was young, he did check her pulse and repeatedly confirmed that the original veins in her body were naturally incomplete and she would not be able to practice in this life!
But at that moment, he accidentally touched her pulse, and found that there seemed to be a subtle change in her original veins!
Chu Liuyue narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at the old man's changing expression.
She has just begun to repair her original veins now, and ordinary people cannot detect it at all.
But the old man saw it immediately, which showed that he was not an ordinary person.
Most likely - he is a heavenly doctor!
Worst of all, he is also a strong man with extraordinary strength!
"Girl, tell the old man the truth, who is helping you?"
The old man changed his previous casual look and looked much more serious. He let go of Chu Liuyue's hand and looked into her eyes carefully and asked.
Chu Liuyue shook her head sincerely.
"Really not. If you don't believe it, you can go and find out for yourself. Although I am the eldest lady of the Chu family in name, my life has been worse than that of the servants for so many years. Being able to save my life is considered lucky, not to mention What about others?”
The old man was doubtful.
He has not been involved in world affairs for many years and does not know much about many things in the imperial capital.
But Chu Liuyue was born a loser. Just think about it and you can guess what kind of life he has been living these years.
As for someone helping behind the scenes... Neither she nor Chu Ning had any backers, so who could she turn to
"...What the girl said makes sense, but your original bloodline...is really hard to explain!"
The old man thought hard and couldn't guess the reason for the sudden change in Chu Liuyue's original veins. He couldn't help but feel a headache and hit his head with the cattail leaf fan.
Chu Liuyue glanced at the sky.
"If you have nothing else to do, I will go back first."
Although the identity of this old man cannot be determined, Chu Liuyue can be sure that his origin is definitely not simple.
Naturally, she would not take the initiative to offend such a person now.
The old man waved his hand casually, still frowning as he thought about a question he didn't understand.
"What on earth is..."
Chu Liuyue didn't stay long and left quickly.
In the narrow alley, only the old man was left deep in thought.
…
Chu Liuyue returned to the Chu family, and everything was as usual.
The new medicinal materials have been delivered, but she still prepared Chu Ning's medicine first, and then sent it to Chu Ning when he came back.
Chu Ning drank the medicine without saying a word.
The initial doubts had long been dispelled as his health improved significantly.
Now in his eyes, his daughter is an out-and-out genius!
Feeling a warm force flowing along the limbs and bones, Chu Ning sighed softly:
"Yue'er, when daddy recovers, he will take you to become a disciple! Such a talent as yours must not be buried!"
Chu Liuyue asked seemingly unintentionally:
"Dad, how many heavenly doctors are there in Yaochen Kingdom now?"
Chu Ning thought for a moment:
"The conditions for becoming a heavenly doctor are very demanding. Even if some people have a little talent, they will not be able to become true heavenly doctors in the end! Today, there are only seven heavenly doctors in the entire Yaochen Kingdom!"
Chu Liuyue asked some indirect questions. Unfortunately, Chu Ning didn't know much about them, so he couldn't get on with the strange old man in the end.
Chu Liuyue also knew that this matter could not be rushed, so she simply stopped asking further questions. After Chu Ning left, she continued to cook her own medicinal materials.
That night, Xuexue did not come.
…
Three days flew by in the blink of an eye.
When Chu Liuyue started making medicine for Chu Ning again, an uninvited guest came.
It was the old man!
It was obvious that he did not come in through the main entrance. He was still wearing the tattered cotton coat, and a few leaves fell on his head. His eyes were black and blue, and he looked like he had not rested for several days.
Chu Liuyue was a little surprised to see him like this:
"Why are you here?"
The old man looked sadly:
"The old man thought about it for three days and three nights but still couldn't figure it out... I didn't expect-"
Chu Liuyue was shocked: Does this mean - because of her, he hasn't slept in the past few days
He stretched out his hand tremblingly, pointing to the pot of medicinal herbs with strong aroma, as if he had been greatly deceived, and complained bitterly:
"You said no one was helping you! You made the old man suffer so much!"
I have a cold, it hurts so much
