Chapter 17: Deception
He rubbed his hands in embarrassment:
"Hehe, girl, don't be angry, the old man didn't deliberately follow you, he just felt that the 10,000 taels were too bad!
Chu Liuyue raised her eyebrows.
"If you're here for this, there's no need, because in my eyes, the redstone is worth 10,000 taels. ”
It's more than value, it's great value!
But the old man didn't believe it at all, and shook the fan in his hand:
"Hey, girl, don't be so polite! The red stone that the old man has seen, if not 100,000, but also 90,000, is indeed not worth 10,000 taels!
Chu Liuyue shook her head: "I'm not interested." ”
The old man's face suddenly fell.
This girl is too hard to!
"Why are you here, it's better to be straightforward. ”
The old man looked at Chu Liuyue's expression indifferently, and his dark and bright eyes seemed to have seen through everything, and he couldn't help but feel even more embarrassed.
"Actually... I just want to ask you a question: Who is your master?"
Although there were no Force fluctuations on her body, and those movements were also very simple, he could see at a glance that it was definitely from one or several advanced martial arts!
Behind her, there must be a top master!
Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for her to suppress a third-order martial artist like Lu Zhitao so easily!
His life has been very boring over the years, and it would be great if he could learn a thing or two from each other!
Chu Liuyue narrowed her eyes.
"If I tell you, what's the benefit?"
The old man scratched his head in anguish.
He doesn't have much money on him, and the other party doesn't seem to be short of money...
After thinking about it for a long time, he finally patted his head and turned out a jade pendant.
"Why don't you exchange this for this?"
Chu Liuyue glanced down, her eyes flashing slightly.
It was actually a jade pendant carved with a talisman!
And it seems that the grade of that Xuan Fu is not low...
The value of this thing is definitely not low! He actually gave it away so casually?
"Really?"
"Naturally, take it seriously!"
Seeing that Chu Liuyue seemed to be a little moved, the old man hurriedly took a few steps forward and stuffed the jade pendant into her hand.
"Anyway, my old man doesn't need this thing, if you like it, just take it!"
Chu Liuyue thought for a moment in her heart, and simply put things down.
Since the other party dares to send it, she naturally dares to take it!
"Okay, then I'll tell you the truth - I don't have a master. ”
Chu Liuyue said frankly.
The old man's expression, which was originally full of anticipation and excitement, froze instantly.
"What? Without Master, how is this possible!? Could it be that you are self-taught in all your kung fu!?"
Chu Liuyue coughed.
She really couldn't explain it.
"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, and a little shock gradually appeared in his eyes as he looked at Chu Liuyue.
"You... You..."
Chu Liuyue frowned slightly, intending to break away.
“... Are you that girl from the Chu family?"
Chu Liuyue was stunned.
The other party didn't see her face, but they actually recognized her?
But in her impression, there is no such person?
The old man saw that she didn't speak, and became more and more incredulous:
"Are you really Chu Liuyue?
It turned out to be recognized by checking the 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 that appeared in front of him, the old man was stunned for a moment.
"So you're that old... No, you're a primordial vein—"
Halfway through his speech, he suddenly paused, and he really didn't know what to say for a while.
When Chu Liuyue was young, he did check her pulse, and repeatedly confirmed that the original vein in her body was naturally crippled, and she would not be able to cultivate in this life!
But at that moment, he inadvertently touched her veins, but found that her original veins seemed to have a subtle change!
Chu Liuyue looked at the old man's changing expression, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
She has only just begun to repair her original vein, and ordinary people can't even notice it.
But the old man saw it at once, which showed that he was not an ordinary person.
Most likely—he's a heavenly doctor!
The worst 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 idle appearance, his expression was much more serious, he let go of Chu Liuyue's hand, stared at her eyes carefully and asked.
Chu Liuyue shook her head sincerely.
"Not really. If you don't believe me, you can ask for yourself. Although I am nominally the eldest lady of the Chu family, I have been worse than my subordinates over the years. It's luck to be able to save your life, not to mention anything else?"
The old man will be skeptical.
He has not been concerned about the world for many years, and he does not know much about many things in the imperial capital.
But Chu Liuyue was born with wastewood, and if you think about it, you can guess what kind of life has been spent all these years.
If you want to say that someone is behind the back... She and Chu Ning don't have any backers, who can they go to?
“... What the girl said makes sense, but your original line... I can't explain it!"
The old man pondered and meditated, but he couldn't guess the reason for the sudden change in Chu Liuyue's original vein, so he couldn't help but have a headache and knocked his head with a pu fan.
Chu Liuyue glanced at the sky.
"If you don't have anything else to do, the junior will go back first. ”
Although the identity of this old man could not be determined, Chu Liuyue could be sure that his origin was definitely not simple.
Such a character, now she naturally will not take the initiative to offend.
The old man waved his hand casually, still frowning and thinking about the questions he didn't understand.
"What the hell..."
Chu Liuyue didn't stay long, and left quickly.
In the narrow alley, only the old man was left pondering.
...
Chu Liuyue returned to the Chu family, and everything was as usual.
The new medicinal materials had been sent, and she still boiled Chu Ning's medicine first, and when Chu Ning came back, she sent it over.
Chu Ning didn't say a word, and drank the medicine cleanly.
The initial doubts had already been dispelled with the obvious improvement in his health.
Now in his eyes, his daughter is an out-and-out genius!
Feeling a warm force surging along his limbs, Chu Ning sighed lightly:
"Yue'er, when Daddy's health is better, I will take you to apprentice!
Chu Liuyue asked as if unintentionally:
"Daddy, how many heavenly doctors are there in Yaochen Kingdom now?"
Chu Ning pondered for a moment:
"The conditions for becoming a Heavenly Doctor are very harsh, and even if some have a little talent, they can't become a real Heavenly Doctor in the end!
Chu Liuyue asked some questions on the side, but unfortunately Chu Ning didn't know much about them, so he couldn't match the strange old man in the end.
Chu Liuyue also knew that this matter was in a hurry, so she simply stopped asking, and after Chu Ning left, she continued to boil her own medicinal materials.
This night, the snow did not come.
...
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
When Chu Liuyue began to boil medicine for Chu Ning again, an uninvited guest came.
It's the old man!
It was clear that he had not come in through the main entrance, he was still wearing the tattered cotton coat, and there were a few leaves on his head, and his eyes were black and blue, and he looked like he hadn't rested for days.
Chu Liuyue was also a little surprised to see him like this:
"Why are you here?"
The old man's eyes were grieving:
"The old man thought about it for three days and three nights, but he didn't figure it out... I didn't expect—"
Chu Liuyue was taken aback: What does this mean - because of her, he hasn't slept for a few days?
He stretched out his hand tremblingly, pointing to the pot of medicinal herbs with a strong aroma, as if he had been greatly deceived, and complained bitterly:
"You still say that no one will help you! You deceived the old man so hard!"
