Xu Ping’an bowed.
Seeing this, the smile on Li Yu’er’s face gradually faded, and a hint of ruthlessness inexplicably appeared in her eyes as she watched the carriage disappear into the distance.
“The Liu family knows too much.”
Hiss!
These words sent a chill down Xu Ping’an’s spine!
It must be said that those in power are indeed difficult to contend with.
Even someone of Prince Zhennan’s caliber, though the royal family cannot cultivate, still possesses dragon qi.
For ordinary people, let alone harming him, even getting close is arduous.
If a cultivator were to harm him, as soon as an evil thought arose, they would be locked onto by the dragon qi.
Once they made a move, they might be devoured by the Great Qi’s dragon qi before even harming the person.
Each of the thirteen states of Great Qi has a king, who shares the entire Great Qi’s dragon qi.
Besides these thirteen kings, the one with the most powerful dragon qi is the current Emperor.
Don’t mistake him for just a mortal; even when facing top-tier cultivators head-on, he shows no fear.
The dragon qi of this world condensed into one person’s body is terrifyingly powerful!
“I hope Miss Yu’er will not make things too difficult for the Liu family.”
Hearing this, Li Yu’er pursed her lips and smiled, the ruthlessness in her eyes also fading.
“What is Mr. saying? Even if Mr. hadn’t interceded, I wouldn’t make things too difficult for an ordinary family.”
😱
Miss Yu’er, when you said that, did you dare to show that ruthless look from just now again?
If I believe you, I’m an idiot!
You already had murderous intent!
Don’t forget, besides treating illnesses, Xu Ping’an can also perceive auras.
A person’s emotions can be faked, but the radiance emanating from their body will not lie.
Just now, the radiance on her body was clearly mixed with an ominous dark red.
If he hadn’t spoken up to intercede, perhaps tonight, Prince Zhennan’s manor would have received news, and perhaps even before tomorrow, the Liu family might have faced misfortune today.
Although it’s highly unlikely they would directly kill the Liu family, for a king of a state, making things difficult for a family is simply too easy.
“Tomorrow, I will visit the Liu family and give them a warning; it should be fine.”
Although not explicitly stated, that remark just now undoubtedly proved that the old man must have come to probe.
No wonder, no wonder a dignified Golden Core stage cultivator would personally come to this humble farmhouse.
It turns out it wasn’t just to support his great-granddaughter, but also to probe Li Yu’er.
It makes sense.
Prince Zhennan’s heir, Li Yu, came to see a doctor and left, and the next day, a patient named Li Yu’er appeared in this courtyard.
Anyone who isn’t foolish could probably guess a few things.
However, being able to guess is one thing, but personally coming to probe is another.
What’s more, the Liu family has a very strong influence in Liuye County, even capable of overshadowing royal authority in the short term.
Under such circumstances, an elder of the Liu family personally coming to this small courtyard to probe whether the other party is the heir.
This is already considered an infringement on royal authority.
From Li Yu’er’s performance just now, she most likely neither denied nor affirmed.
But for smart people, such silence is already considered a positive answer.
“Actually, Mister needn’t overthink it. I think this old ancestor of the Liu family most likely just asked casually. He might have had a guess in his heart, but he probably didn’t intend to probe, but… knowing is one thing, asking face-to-face is a bit impolite.”
Li Yu’er smiled slightly, Xu Ping’an’s reflection in her peach blossom eyes.
“Mister rest assured, I wouldn’t make things difficult for the Liu family over such a small matter. After all, the Liu family is also considered a cultivation family, and many of their ancestors were prominent figures in the righteous path. However, some reminders are indeed necessary, otherwise some people might truly think that royal power is granted by immortals.”
Hiss, sure enough, getting involved with these people brings endless trouble.
Although he wasn’t directly involved in this matter, on one side was his patient, who was of noble status and could not be offended.
On the other side was the most prominent family in Liuye County, and Liu Yingying was his old friend.
Taking either side seemed not good.
“In that case, I won’t meddle further.”
“That’s how it is. You really don’t need to worry too much, Sir. Right now, your most important task is to treat my illness. As for the rest… please rest assured, Sir, as long as I am here, no one will dare to trouble you.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Ping’an was momentarily stunned.
Seeing Miss Yu’er’s sly look, he also joked in return:
“Then I must thank Miss Yu’er for her protection.”
Although this conversation seemed playful, it was clear that Li Yu’er was serious.
Time flew by, and evening arrived.
The sky had gradually darkened, and Miss Yu’er, who had been energetic all afternoon, began to feel listless again.
After experiencing the feeling of being a normal person, she didn’t want to continue like this for a single moment.
If she had never seen the light, she wouldn’t yearn for it so much.
And she was precisely someone who had always lived in darkness.
Xu Ping’an, with a casual gesture, pulled her out of the darkness, let her see the sunshine, and experience what it truly meant to live.
As dusk deepened, the languid Miss Yu’er immediately sought out Xu Ping’an.
“Sir… are you ready to start tonight’s treatment you mentioned?”
Xu Ping’an was sitting in a rocking chair, reading, with the peacefully sleeping Pei Qingxuan in his arms.
His wife had been clinging to him, and then she fell asleep, nestled against him.
“Oh? Is it that late already?”
Xu Ping’an was reading some of the era’s less explicit storybooks.
Of course, it was impossible for them to be completely devoid of any suggestive content, as a little bit of flirtation is also a driving force, after all.
Casually picking up a bookmark and placing it in the book, Xu Ping’an then looked up and gazed outside.
The dazzling light from before had now turned a warm yellow.
In the distance, on the mountaintops, the setting sun was slowly sinking into the earth, as if the fatigue of a day’s work made it unable to bear the weight anymore and it had to rest.
As for the moon, which was on rotation, it had already appeared early today, hanging in the eastern sky.
“Hmm… Miss Yu’er, how are you feeling now?”
Xu Ping’an massaged his wrist, which had become a little numb from Pei Qingxuan resting on it.
He gently shifted, carefully picking up his obedient wife around the waist and placing her on the arhat couch nearby.
“Worse than death…”
Li Yu’er smiled faintly, her face pale, forcing herself to maintain her composure, but the light in her eyes was fading.
Xu Ping’an nodded slightly, without turning his head.
“Then please return to your room, Miss Yu’er, and wait. I will prepare the medicine now and then administer the acupuncture.”
“Thank you for your hard work, Sir.”
“It’s no trouble. As a doctor, I naturally do what I should do.”
