Night fell.
The Yan family was still bustling with activity.
Servants were busy running errands, and the Yan family members were in high spirits recently.
Because the Yan family’s recent business had been booming, even the cultivation resources for the Yan family members were much stronger than before.
This gave them even more conviction to strive for success and cultivate diligently.
“Master, today the Bai family and Zhao family gathered some small family heads at the Jin Hong Tower and held a secret meeting. Our people couldn’t find out what the meeting was about, but it’s not hard to guess that it should be related to our Yan family.”
In front of Yan Botao, a spy from the Yan family was reporting the events that had happened in the Jin Hong Tower today.
“I knew they couldn’t sit still.”
Yan Botao knew that the Yan family’s recent actions would certainly provoke other families, but Yan Botao was not afraid.
This was a world where the one with the bigger fist had the upper hand.
Now, the Yan family’s chief steward was Li Changqing, a master who even Xu Muhai had to respect. What did he have to fear?
Moreover, it was not that Yan Botao was trying to bluff and use Li Changqing to do these things. Yan Botao had discussed this matter with Li Changqing beforehand.
Li Changqing had no objections.
What was wrong with making more money for his son’s cultivation?
It was a dog-eat-dog world.
Li Changqing from his previous life had experienced this before.
Li Changqing had once heard a saying that the best way to avoid being exploited by capitalists was to become a capitalist himself.
Now that he had the opportunity, he naturally wanted to be a person of status.
The Yan family was not afraid of their actions.
Because in Changting Town, the Yan family’s intelligence network was also good, and with Li Changqing here, this was what made Yan Botao feel most at ease.
Any conspiracy and trickery were futile in the face of absolute power.
“Keep an eye on their movements and report back if there’s any news,” Yan Botao said to the spy.
“Yes.” The spy said, then turned and left the study.
Three days later.
Medical King Valley.
Mu Qingge had been back for a while, and the first thing she did when she returned was to find her father, the current valley master of Medical King Valley, Mu Hensheng.
She told Mu Hensheng about her being cursed by the Ghost Resentment.
Mu Hensheng was very shocked when he saw the ghost claw on Mu Qingge’s neck.
As for the wooden carving, Mu Qingge did not mention it, only saying that the Ghost Resentment curse had not erupted for the time being.
Mu Hensheng immediately entered the Forbidden Medical Ancient Cave of Medical King Valley to find a solution.
The Forbidden Medical Ancient Cave was a forbidden place in Medical King Valley. Apart from Mu Hensheng, no one else was qualified to enter.
But it was said that many forbidden techniques of Medical King Valley were sealed inside.
As for the Forbidden Medical Ancient Cave, Mu Qingge had been curious about it since she was a child. Once, she even sneaked to the Forbidden Medical Ancient Cave to see what was inside.
As a result, Mu Qingge was discovered.
Mu Hensheng was very angry. Mu Hensheng, who usually doted on Mu Qingge, grounded her for a month.
Even Mu Qingge’s mother’s plea was useless.
But Mu Qingge never told anyone about it.
That day, she saw.
In the Forbidden Medical Ancient Cave.
There was a child.
It was a boy, about her age, about twelve or thirteen years old. He was someone Mu Qingge had never seen before.
Even until now, Mu Qingge had never seen that boy again, as if he had never existed.
Now that Mu Hensheng had gone to the Forbidden Medical Ancient Cave again, it reminded Mu Qingge of that mysterious child.
Just as she was thinking, a voice came from outside.
“Elder, you have a letter.”
“My letter?”
After hearing this, Mu Qingge was not very interested and said, “It must be a letter from some sect disciple again.”
She had received too many such letters.
They could easily pile up a warehouse.
“Elder, the letter is from a place we’ve never seen before, called Changting Town, it seems to be in Minghong Prefecture.” The person said.
“Minghong Prefecture? Changting Town?” Mu Qingge’s eyes lit up.
She opened the door, and the maid at the door was holding a letter.
Mu Qingge reached out and took it directly, seeing Li Changqing’s name on the envelope, Mu Qingge showed a joyful expression.
“Alright, you can go now.” Mu Qingge said.
“Yes.” The maid’s face was full of curiosity. Who was Li Changqing?
He actually made Mu Qingge so happy.
Was he a young talent from some family?
Mu Qingge didn’t expect Li Changqing to write to her.
Did he miss her?
Mu Qingge quickly opened the letter to see.
Song Fairy, long time no see.
It’s been almost a month since we last parted, I wonder if your Medical King Valley has found a way to remove the Ghost Resentment curse?
Remember, the Bodhisattva of Earth Store must not leave your body.
……
In the middle, there were many words, Mu Qingge read them very carefully, but as she read, Li Changqing wrote about his son, Li Hengsheng, in the letter.Having become Mu Haifeng’s direct disciple and comprehending a new powerful body refining martial art…
And so on.
At first, Mu Qingge was seriously reading, but as she read on, she felt something was off about the letter.
Becoming a direct disciple?
Practicing a powerful body refining martial art?
“Oh, right!” Mu Qingge suddenly realized, her face instantly turning red.
After returning, she had been researching the Ghost Resentment curse and had forgotten that Li Changqing had given her all the heavenly treasures in the cave.
He wanted her to refine a pill for Li Hengsheng.
But she had completely forgotten about it.
“How could I…” Mu Qingge’s face was so red, she felt somewhat embarrassed looking at the letter in front of her.
What should she do?
She was afraid that her image in Li Changqing’s heart had already diminished!
She had promised something but didn’t do it, and even completely forgot about it!
As an elder of the Medical King Valley, it wouldn’t be good to gain a reputation for reneging on her promises.
If she started refining now, it would still take some time to complete, so Mu Qingge directly walked out the door, chose a lot of high-quality pills from the treasure house of the Medical King Valley, and packed a large box in one go.
Then she found someone from the Cangyuan Escort Agency and had them air deliver it to Dao Mountain Ancient Land for Xu Muhai.
After finishing all these, Mu Qingge wrote back to Li Changqing.
Early in the morning.
Changting Town.
Shi Yan Zhai had opened early.
This was the Yan family’s restaurant.
There were three of them in the whole Changting Town.
Although it was still early, it was already full of people.
The mist outside was filled with a sweet scent.
This was the special breakfast of Shi Yan Zhai.
At the same time, the people sitting on the first floor had all ordered a pot of tea while ordering breakfast, listening to the storyteller telling the story written by Li Changqing.
The wooden gavel was struck.
Although the storyteller was over sixty, his voice was loud,
“Today we are going to tell the story of ‘The Legend of Water Margin: Lu Zhishen’s Battle with Nie Xiaoqian’. I hope the gentlemen who enjoy listening will recommend it to others, or buy a monthly pass here.”
“Good!”
The crowd below clapped and cheered.
They had come to listen yesterday, the story had just reached a point where a monk named Lu Zhishen had drunk eighteen bowls of wine on Jingyang Ridge, and then stumbled into a place called Lanruo Temple.
And he met a female ghost from the Ghost Clan named Nie Xiaoqian.
The development of the story today was what they were most looking forward to.
“Brother-in-law, please come in, this is our new specialty in Changting Town, the food is especially delicious.” Outside the door, Xue Hong led a man dressed in brocade into the restaurant.
