I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s-Chapter 678 - 677
Liu Hunao saw Little Yu Zhu like this, and of course knew the reason. He immediately scratched his head in frustration. He really didn’t want to appear in front of those younger members, because they would either pester him to teach them or try to get him to stay in the family, which was extremely annoying!
"You must listen to what your great-grandfather says. I’ll go talk to your grandpa." Liu Hunao thought for a moment and decided to speak about it.
Little Yu Zhu nodded blankly, but was happy about it. Her great-grandfather was the first to support her, which made her feel even more fond of him.
"Great-grandfather likes this talisman powder, so Little Bamboo will give it to you." Little Yu Zhu said cheerfully.
Liu Hunao grinned and placed his large hand on top of Little Yu Zhu’s head, "If great-grandfather consumed this talisman powder, it would be wasted. It’s better to leave it for Little Yu Zhu. Great-grandfather will get water for you, you wait here."
Little Yu Zhu nodded obediently.
Liu Hunao quickly returned with a disposable paper cup, dissolved the talismanic water, and did not feel at ease until he saw Little Yu Zhu drink it down.
If he guessed correctly, this talisman powder contained at least over sixty kinds of herbs!
No, perhaps even more, as his extensive experience wasn’t enough to fully discern them, suggesting that the person who made this was truly a reclusive master!
Just thinking of the number, over sixty kinds of herbs, was enough to excite him. Liu Hunao had traveled all over and met some hidden masters. He had seen talisman powder like this before, but it was truly rare and hard to come by. Now, to find it in his own family’s little girl, how could he not be surprised and delighted?
Even though it was often said that the Liu Family would fall and he should go with the flow, being able to see a chance for the Liu Family to rise again, he still hoped to give a hint.
Why say this? Because this talisman powder not only merged with at least sixty kinds of herbs but also had the effect of boosting the spirit!
The combination of these two is simply incredible!
If it weren’t for this talisman powder being with their own family’s little girl, if it were another family’s child, Liu Hunao would find it hard not to covet it, and would definitely go to great lengths to get the medicine, oh, I mean exchange for it!
Liu Hunao did not want to appear before those people and definitely didn’t want them to drag him back. It would be best if he could see Liu Xinghua alone. He’s at such an age, and still so disappointing!
"Hurry back, little girl. Great-grandfather will find a chance to see your grandfather, but before that, don’t tell your grandfather you met me!" Liu Hunao advised her with a few words, and only after watching the little girl leave, turning back every few steps, did he disappear among the Lian Qiao flowers.
With her great-grandfather’s assurance, Little Yu Zhu had a little hope. She only wished this time her grandpa would listen to her great-grandfather.
When Little Yu Zhu walked to her grandpa’s side and looked back among the Lian Qiao flowers, she couldn’t find any trace of her great-grandfather. Since she could remember, her great-grandfather had always been this elusive.
Thinking of her great-grandfather’s admonitions, Little Yu Zhu didn’t mention a word to her grandpa.
Things with the Chaoyun Sect fell through, so Liu Xinghua had to mobilize family members again to find a target. For the past two days, he had been taking Little Yu Zhu around at the gathering, hoping to find some better family.
Actually, the Liu Family didn’t have much of a network. If they had some connections and relationships, Liu Xinghua wouldn’t have to use such a clumsy, passive way to seek a family but would take the initiative to contact and lock onto a target.
Liu Xinghua’s approach was actually emulating those exceptionally talented people. Those with great talent appearing at the gathering for even two days would surely attract a lot of attention, and many would come knocking. But Little Yu Zhu, although full of spirit, wasn’t stunning, so she encountered the awkward situation of being ignored.
Fortunately, Little Yu Zhu was young, and didn’t understand many things, avoiding any hurt to her self-esteem. If it were an older child, once the word spread, going back home would certainly result in loss of face.
For many people, the seven-day gathering is short; for the Liu Family, it’s even shorter. Two days passed, and there was no news at all about family matters. When the competitions start in the last three days, more families would focus on the contests, and no one would notice Little Yu Zhu. Thus, they only had half a day today and one more day tomorrow.
Thinking of this, Liu Xinghua became inwardly anxious. Suddenly, he heard that their old rival Yang Family’s child, Yang Yun, had already found a suitable family, and that family had also taken a liking to Yang Yun, and he became even more anxious.
"What kind of family?" Liu Xinghua frowned and asked.
Little Yu Zhu’s uncle, Liu Zhengfei, replied, "I heard it’s a branch of the Qi Family within the Yunquan School."
Upon hearing Yunquan School, Liu Xinghua sighed inwardly. They were from the same place as the Yang Family, leaving home to attend the gathering in Beijing, each trying to see who could find a better family and seek a path forward.
The Yunquan School is a major sect with a comprehensive strength stronger than even the Wei Family and is one of the event organizers. Although the Qi Family is at the bottom of the Yunquan School, it is still a main component family of the Yunquan School.
"Uncle, don’t be in a hurry, listen to me first. This family, although claiming the name of the Qi Family from Yunquan School, actually has a very distant relationship with the Qi Family. Calling it a branch is somewhat forced. It’s just because they’ve been making offerings to the Qi Family for a long time, and all very good things. Some local enterprises also let the Qi Family have dry shares, so the Qi Family turns a blind eye to them claiming the Qi Family’s name from Yunquan School." Liu Zhengfei said.
Upon hearing this, Liu Xinghua felt somewhat relieved. The two families, being from the same place, have intertwined interests. They’ve been competing for resources all these years, naturally not wanting the other party to do better than themselves.
"Even though they can only enjoy the name of the Qi Family from Yunquan School, not their resources, the family itself still has some strength, and their comprehensive strength probably isn’t lower than that of the Chaoyun Sect and, in some aspects, even surpasses it." Liu Xinghua shook his head.
Liu Xinghua didn’t have the confidence to find a better sect than Chaoyun Sect. A second-rate sect like Chaoyun can’t be satisfied with only twenty thousand a year, let alone other family sects, which would have even bigger appetites.
This is an unwritten rule that everyone knows and accepts willingly.
Because this unwritten rule provides convenience for many, like the Yang Family. Their resources in the Mystic Doctor aspect may be on par with the Liu Family, but they are business people, wealthy. Giving three or four thousand a year as an offering is not a problem, giving them an advantage over the Liu Family.
Little Yu Zhu listened on the side, especially when she heard her uncle mention that the Yang Family had been in contact with this family for a long time and finally reached an agreement. She felt secretly angry; Yang Yun was really insidious. After knowing what kind of future family she had, she kept betting with her, just to see her lose!
