Yu Clan Leader heard that Yu Changkong was bringing Qin Liuxi to pay respects, and he imdiately had them summoned inside. When he got a clear look at the person a step behind his grandson, even his usually stoic face showed a hint of surprise.
So young!
"Grandfather, this is the Junior Temple Master, who is also the Daoist doctor treating my eye ailnt." Yu Changkong remained ever gentle and composed before him.
Yu Clan Leader looked at Qin Liuxi and sighed: "I’ve long heard from Changkong about the master’s extraordinary dical skills, but I didn’t expect you to be this young. I’ve been away from the worldly affairs for so long, I had no idea the world had soone as talented as the Junior Temple Master."
Qin Liuxi cupped her hands, making a Taoist salute: "Clan Leader overpraises ; this humble Daoist has rely learned so superficial skills by chance, just enough to treat Mr. Changkong’s eye condition."
She straightened up, t his gaze, and her eyes flicked over the auspicious energy swirling around. Her gaze unintentionally drifted upwards, noticing the auspicious energy mingled with a trace of blood energy.
Blood energy is ominous.
Qin Liuxi quietly followed Yu Changkong and sat down, taking another look at Yu Clan Leader. Feeling the golden auspicious qi in the room, she felt a sudden chill in her heart.
The two streams of golden auspicious qi intertwined, yet both fell upon the Yu Clan Leader.
Yu Changkong spoke first: "Grandfather, do we have a Nine Revolutions Rejuvenation Grass in our treasure trove?"
Yu Clan Leader was taken aback: "What do you need a Rejuvenation Grass for?"
"The Junior Temple Master is the savior of your grandson’s life. I wish to present it to her as a reward, as she once helped cure my eye ailnt, allowing to see the light again." Yu Changkong faintly smiled and said: "One grass for a pair of eyes for , do you think it’s worth it, Grandfather?"
Qin Liuxi tily added: "I am currently refining a dicine and happen to lack this Rejuvenation Grass. I know it is precious, and if Clan Leader finds it difficult, I can purchase it with Silver."
Yu Clan Leader laughed: "It’s just a piece of dicine, no matter how precious, how could it compare to Changkong’s eyes? If the Junior Temple Master wants it, let Changkong have the treasure keeper find it for you. I’m curious though, how did the Junior Temple Master know that our clan has this herb?"
Qin Liuxi laughed and said: "Clan Leader, I am part of the Mystic Sect and learned the Xuann Five Skills. The most convenient way to find sothing is to calculate with my fingers. The Yu Family is a reclusive clan founded for hundreds of years; what rare treasures do you not have? After calculating the location, and having sothing to discuss with Mr. Changkong, I shalessly ca to ask."
Yu Clan Leader obviously didn’t expect such an answer and laughed out loud: "The Junior Temple Master’s calculation is indeed peculiar; it shows the depth of your magic."
"I can a little, just a billion little!" Yes, that’s it, a billion.
Qin Liuxi said with a smile: "The Clan Leader is generous. I can’t take this grass for nothing. How about I calculate a fate for you in exchange?"
Yu Clan Leader was startled and quickly replied with a cheerful laugh: "No need, I’m already an old man with one foot in the coffin. Old people don’t calculate their fate anymore; the more they calculate, the sooner it’s over. I will just rely on my age to avoid this taboo."
"You are too modest, without any accidents, I’m confident you will live another fifty years without any issues."
Yu Changkong, who was brewing tea, paused with the tea tongs in hand and looked up, asking, "Are you serious?"
Yu Clan Leader also regarded Qin Liuxi with a bright and piercing look.
"I never lie," Qin Liuxi looked at Yu Clan Leader and said: "Clan Leader should know well that I am not joking. After all, one knows their own physical condition best."
Yu Changkong lowered his eyes, a flash of dark light in them.
This—was that a hint?
Yu Clan Leader pointed his finger at Qin Liuxi: "You, I will just take it as the Junior Temple Master trying to bring joy to an old man." Then he said kindly to Yu Changkong: "Young people should be as vibrant as the Junior Temple Master. Your eye condition is cured now, you should have so youthful vigor. Don’t be as gloomy as before, not even smiling for days, looking older than your grandfather."
Yu Changkong laughed, handing him a cup of tea: "You are right."
Yu Clan Leader saw he didn’t take it to heart and opened his mouth but ultimately said: "The past is the past. You must look forward. Being stuck in the past is like trapping oneself in a self-woven cage, hindering yourself. Yu Family’s children shouldn’t mourn all day long."
"Grandfather, I understand I should let go of so things, but every ti I think of that night, I cannot sleep." Yu Changkong pondered and said: "For this reason, I want to ask the Junior Temple Master to help visit my parents."
Clatter.
Yu Clan Leader’s tea cup fell on the tea table, frowning at him: "You still can’t let it go."
"With my parents’ tragic deaths, how could I let it go?" Yu Changkong coldly said: "If I can’t uncover how they died and by whose hands, I fail as their son."
"What if your grandfather forbids you to investigate further?"
Yu Changkong stared straight: "Grandfather knows sothing?"
Yu Clan Leader closed his eyes, his face showing so restraint.
Qin Liuxi raised her eyebrows slightly.
"You shouldn’t investigate this any further, nor should you go." Yu Clan Leader sternly said: "If you still respect as your grandfather, listen to ."
Yu Changkong’s eyes sharpened.
Yu Clan Leader looked at Qin Liuxi, hoping she would leave, but Qin Liuxi just lowered her head, pretending not to notice their conversation, carefully examining the patterns on her teacup.
The Yu Family proudly possessed this teacup made of Jade Glass White Jade, crystal-clear and very beautiful.
She wanted it.
Yu Clan Leader coughed.
Qin Liuxi remained unmoved.
Yu Clan Leader: "..."
Could this child not read the room?
Qin Liuxi raised her head and said: "Clan Leader, is your throat uncomfortable? I can help you check your pulse; my dical skills are decent."
Yu Clan Leader: My heart is what’s uncomfortable!
Yu Changkong, seeing this, said: "Grandfather, if there’s anything, feel free to speak. I intended to ask the Junior Temple Master for help anyway. If you know sothing, just tell her, I trust her."
Yu Clan Leader hesitated for a mont, glanced between them, and sighed: "Changkong, your parents’ deaths were not simple. I don’t want you to investigate further because it’s beyond what we can handle. Your grandfather is old, already has lost your father, and I don’t want to bury you as well. So, listen to your grandfather, and stop investigating, okay?"
His last words carried a hint of plea.
Yu Changkong: "What can’t be solved? If it’s martial power, my mother’s Yun Pavilion can be at my disposal. If it’s that sinister magic, the Junior Temple Master can assist. Grandfather, just tell what you know. As for the solution, I’ll figure it out myself."
Yu Clan Leader looked at Qin Liuxi, who gave him a harmless smile: "Xuann Five Skills, I can do a billion little."
Yu Clan Leader looked down, finished his tea coldly, and said: "Your parents died a tragic death, not by ordinary people, but at the hands of evil spirits and demonic paths. They were dissected, and for a Refining Array, they were chosen simply because their birth dates were selected."
Qin Liuxi’s eyes narrowed: Evil spirits and demonic paths, this question she can handle!
