Chapter 17: Deceive

He rubbed his hands in embarrassment:
"Hey, girl, don't be angry, the old man did not deliberately follow you, but thinks that the ten thousand tael is too bad for you! Even though we are short of money, we can't bully you with a conscience, right?"
Chu Liuyue raised her eyebrows.
"If you are here for this, it is really unnecessary, because in my eyes, the redstone is indeed worth ten thousand taels."
More than value, it's super 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 redstone that the old man has seen is 90,000 for no one hundred thousand. It's really not worth ten thousand taels! How about I give you another thing as compensation?"
Chu Liuyue shook his head: "Not interested."
The old man's face collapsed suddenly.
This girl is too difficult!
"Why are you here, it's better to say it straight."
The old man looked at Chu Liuyue calmly, her dark and bright eyes seemed to have seen through everything, and couldn't help but become even more embarrassed.
"Actually... I just wanted to ask you a question: Who is your master?"
Although there is no force fluctuation on her body, and those movements are very simple, but he can see it at a glance, it is definitely derived from a certain or several advanced martial arts!
Behind her, there must be a top master!
Otherwise, she would definitely not be able to suppress a Tier 3 martial artist like Lu Zhitao so easily!
His life has been very boring these years, if he can compare with each other, that would be great!
Chu Liuyue squinted her eyes.
"If I tell you, what good is it?"
The old man scratched his head in distress.
He doesn’t have much money, and he doesn’t seem to be short of money...
After thinking for a long time, he finally patted his head and turned out a jade pendant.
"Why don't you trade this? This one is still worth a little money!"
Chu Liuyue looked down, her eyes flickering.
It was actually a jade pendant carved with Xuanfu!
And it seems that the level of the Xuan Talisman is not low...
The value of this thing is definitely not low! He sent it out so casually?
"really?"
"Naturally take it seriously!"
Seeing Chu Liuyue seemed to be a little moved, the old man hurriedly stepped forward and stuffed the jade pendant into her hand.
"I don't really need this thing anyway, if you like it, just take it!"
Chu Liuyue thought about it for a moment, and simply handed things down.
Since the other party dared to send it, she naturally dared to pick it up!
"Okay, then I will tell the truth-I don't have a master."
Chu Liuyue said frankly.
The old man's expression was full of expectation and excitement, and he froze instantly.
"What? There is no master? How could this be possible!? Isn't it possible that you are all 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 the conversation, he suddenly stopped, and a look of shock gradually appeared in Chu Liuyue's eyes.
"you you…"
Chu Liuyue frowned slightly, planning to break away.
"...Are you that girl from the Chu family?"
Chu Liuyue was taken aback.
The other party didn't see her face, but actually recognized her?
But in her impression, there is no such person?
The old man saw her not speaking, and he became more and more unbelievable:
"Are you really Chu Liuyue? Your original vein is not—"
Turns out to recognize the pulse.
Chu Liuyue breathed a sigh of relief, and simply took off the hat.
"I am indeed Chu Liuyue, are you?"
Seeing the beautiful face in front of him, the old man was stunned for a moment.
"It turns out that you are so old...it's not right, your original vein--"
He was halfway through, and suddenly paused, for a moment he really didn't know what to say.
When Chu Liuyue was young, he did give her a pulse, and he repeatedly confirmed that the original pulse in her body was inherently incomplete, and that she would not be able to cultivate in this life!
But at that moment, he inadvertently touched her pulse, but found that her original pulse seemed to have a subtle change!
Chu Liuyue narrowed her eyes slightly as she watched the changeable expression of the old man.
She has only started to repair the original veins, and most people can't detect it.
But the old man saw it all at once, showing that he was not an ordinary person.
Very likely-he is a heavenly doctor!
The most unhelpful, but also a powerful man with extraordinary strength!
"Girl, tell the truth to the old man, who is helping you?"
The old man changed his idle appearance before, and looked a lot more serious, let go of Chu Liuyue's hand, staring at her eyes carefully and asked.
Chu Liuyue shook his head sincerely.
"Really not. If you don't believe me, you can ask yourself. Although I am the eldest lady of the Chu family in name, I have not been as good as the people after these years. It is luck to save my life. What's more?"
The old man will be suspicious.
He hadn't asked about the world for many years, and didn't know much about many things in the imperial capital.
But Chu Liuyue was born with waste, and he could guess what he had been all these years by thinking about it.
If someone is behind to help...she and Chu Ning have no support, who can they go to?
"... What the girl said is reasonable, but your original vein... really can't explain it!"
The old man was thinking hard and couldn't guess the reason for the sudden change in Chu Liuyue's original veins. He couldn't help but knocked his head with the cat fan with a headache.
Chu Liuyue glanced at the sky.
"If you have nothing else, the junior 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.
Such a character, now she naturally will not take the initiative to offend.
The old man waved his hand casually, still frowning, thinking about the question he didn't understand.
"What is..."
Chu Liuyue didn't stay much, and then left quickly.
In the narrow alley, only the old man was left thinking hard.
…
Chu Liuyue returned to the Chu family and everything went as usual.
The new medicinal materials have been delivered, and she still cooked up Chu Ning's medicine first, and sent it to Chu Ning when she came back.
Without saying a word, Chu Ning drank the medicine cleanly.
The initial doubts had already been dispelled as his body improved significantly.
Now in his eyes, his daughter is an out-and-out genius!
Feeling a warm force rushing along the limbs, Chu Ning sighed slightly:
"Yue'er, when Daddy's health gets better, I will take you to apprentice! You must not bury your talent!"
Chu Liuyue asked unintentionally:
"Daddy, how many celestial doctors are in Yaochen country now?"
Chu Ning thought for a moment:
"The conditions for becoming a heavenly doctor are very demanding. Some even have a little talent, but in the end they will not be able to become a real heavenly doctor! Now, there are only seven heavenly doctors in Yaochen Kingdom!"
Chu Liuyue asked some questions, but it was a pity that Chu Ning didn't know much about them, so in the end he couldn't match the strange old man.
Chu Liuyue also knew that this matter was in a hurry, so she didn't ask any more, and after Chu Ning left, she continued to cook her own medicine.
Xuexue did not come this night.
…
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
When Chu Liuyue started to cook medicine for Chu Ning again, an unexpected guest came.
It was the old man!
Obviously he didn't come in through the front door, he was still wearing that torn cotton-padded coat, and there were a few leaves on his head. It was black and blue, and it looked like he hadn't rested for a few days.
Chu Liuyue was also a little surprised to see him like this:
"Why are you here?"
The old man looked sad:
"The old man thought about it for three days and three nights but didn't understand it... I didn't expect—"
Chu Liuyue was startled: What does this mean—he hasn't slept for a few days because of her?
He tremblingly stretched out his hand and pointed to the pot of medicinal herbs with a strong fragrance, as if he had been deceived by a huge amount of deceit, and complained painfully:
"You said no one would help you! You fooled the old man so hard!"
