Falling Moons in a Barren Year, the Cub is Idle

Qin Luoluo lived in a daze for over ten years. Then came the drought, and mountain bandits attacked the village...

Qin Luo, a newly admitted college student, experienced the apocalypse. Her p...

Chapter 261 You two look so alike!

After responding to each question, Qin Luo led Qi Yong to the Heavenly Class.

Then I had Lao Wen deliver a small porcelain bottle to each of the "Di" and "Xuan" brands, as a thank you for not deliberately raising the price earlier!

When the head of the Nie family saw the pills in the porcelain bottle, his laughter frightened even Madam Nie.

"This top-tier supplier is quite something! So generous, giving away pills worth millions of taels of silver just like that! This person is impressive!"

Madam Nie never expected that a mere teenager could be so generous.

"They're probably children from some reclusive family. Let's treat them with courtesy and not provoke them!"

The head of the Nie family found her words very reasonable, so he instructed his steward to prepare some gifts and send them over as a gesture of goodwill.

Xuan was overjoyed, as he had long known Huang's true identity.

I never intended to compete for Yushu; I only went out briefly to observe the occasion.

I didn't expect to receive just these two pills. Such a generous person! It seems I should try to befriend him.

The moment Qin Luo brought Qi Yong back, Wu Hua kept staring at Qi Yong.

Qin Luo wondered in his heart if there was something wrong.

Wu Hua didn't answer, but gave her a reassuring look.

But what she said didn't make her feel any better at all.

Wu Hua looked at Qi Yong and asked, "Do you know Qi Yu? You two look so alike!"

Qi Yong was taken aback at first, then suddenly remembered that his nephew's alias was Qi Yu.

That kid's vanished somewhere; he hasn't sent a single letter home.

If he hadn't known that the Emperor had sent the Dark Dragon Guards to protect him, and if he hadn't known that his father was in poor health, he would have gone to find them long ago.

He then looked at Wu Hua and asked, "Do you know Qi Yu?"

Wu Hua nodded her little head

"I know him. He tried to extort money from my donkey and even demanded compensation from us!"

At this moment, Qi Yong felt that Jun Jinyu had completely disgraced the Qi State Duke's Mansion.

Then Wu Hua said, "He's really pitiful. His closest brother spoiled him since he was a child, and when he grew up, he even found a swindler to teach him, but all he learned was wrong!"

Qi Yong was filled with surprise, but before he could finish his surprise, he heard Wu Hua's voice again.

"He didn't want to live anymore. He rushed into the ghost town and almost died. My brother saved him and even gave him silver, but he went to find a master to cultivate Taoism!"

Qi Yong's shock grew with each passing moment.

Is what you said true?

Wu Hua nodded: "Of course, you can ask him later if you don't believe me. He said he would recognize me and my brother as his younger brothers and invite us to his house for a banquet!"

Qi Yong turned his gaze to Qin Luo, who nodded in agreement.

“It’s true. He said his mother passed away a long time ago, and his father didn’t really care about him. He was always sick at home, but he would be completely fine as soon as he went out. He was quite desperate when he first realized this!”

Qi Yong felt a pang of guilt upon hearing this, as they had always focused their attention on the Crown Prince.

Most of the information about Jun Jinyu came from the Crown Prince's explanation.

Everyone in the family knows that Jun Jinyu is obsessed with evil practices and has extremely poor health, making him unfit for any important task.

Therefore, they showed him very little care, but everyone believed that with the Crown Prince protecting him, he would certainly not suffer any harm.

To his utter surprise, the person who hurt him the most was the one he trusted the most.

"I am Qi Yu's uncle. I was negligent before, and I will definitely pay more attention to him in the future!"

Qin Luo smiled at him.

"Qi Yu is a very magnanimous person. He has never blamed anyone. His current master is the chief disciple of Tianyun Temple, a person with real talent and learning. It is very safe for Qi Yu to be with him, so you can rest assured!"

After saying this, Qi Yong bowed deeply to her.

"Thank you for informing me, and thank you both for helping Qi Yu! May I ask your names?"

Qin Luo knew that given Qi Yong's status and position, this would probably be the first thing he did upon entering the auction house.

Having thoroughly investigated her identity, she no longer concealed it, and pointed at Wu Hua.

“Its name is Zaizai, and my name is Qin Luo. I told Qi Yu the alias Qiao Luo. Oh, right! Here, take this.”

She took a packet of pills from her cloth bag and handed it to Qi Yong.

"Take one pill daily, and your family member's illness will be cured in no time!"

Qi Yong took it, pulled out a stack of silver notes from his sleeve, and handed them to her.

"This was originally intended to buy Yushu medicine, but now I'm buying pills from you!"

Qin Luo pushed the silver note back.

"I call Qi Yu 'brother,' and he calls you 'uncle,' so please don't stand on ceremony with me!"

Qi Yongguan wasn't one to feign coyness; after taking back the silver note, he handed her a token.

“Since you call me uncle, then we are family. I think you are aware of Qi Yu’s identity. This is the token of my Qi State Duke’s Mansion. It will save you a lot of trouble, but if you use it to commit crimes, I will definitely come and arrest you myself!”

Qin Luo accepted the gift with both hands and thanked them, saying, "Thank you, Uncle. Don't worry, Uncle! We have always been law-abiding citizens and would never bully others!"

Wu Hua followed closely behind: "Thank you, Uncle! I'll be good~"

Seeing how adorable it was, Qi Yong reached out and pinched Wu Hua's little face, then took out a jade pendant and handed it to her.

"A gift from my uncle!"

Wu Hua took it and looked at it, then took out an even better one from her small cloth bag and handed it to him.

"Uncle, this is a return gift from my brother and me!"

Qi Yong stared in astonishment at the jade pendant in his hand. The clarity and color were so exquisite that even the royal family might not possess many such pieces.

He became even more suspicious of their identities and immediately asked them.

"May I tell you your identities?"

Qin Luo and Wu Hua tilted their heads at the same time, wondering why they were suddenly asking about this.

Does that mean that if I don't have an identity, they'll take back this token and jade pendant?

Then, Qin Luo began to tell her family's situation, half-truthfully and half-jokingly.

“My great-grandfather had a meager fortune, Grandpa You knew some medicine and made the pills, my father and uncle knew some martial arts, the whole family lived in one place, only my younger brother and I came out…”

After listening, Qi Yong was certain: It's confirmed, the two of them are from a reclusive family who borrowed Ping Ming's identity! To be able to make such miraculous pills, and only knowing a little medicine, it seems the others are even more extraordinary!

He also became more friendly towards Qin Luo.

"Young man, the old man is critically ill. I must take the medicine back to the capital today. Do you and Zai Zai want to come with me?"

Qin Luo shook his head

"My brother and I came out this time to travel all over the country and broaden our life experience. When we go to the capital in the future, we will definitely visit the Duke's Mansion to pay our respects to our uncle and all the elders!"

Qi Yong, knowing they had other plans, didn't press them or ask why they wanted to film Yushu.

At their level, what they understand best is that, without infringing upon their own interests...

Never pry into other people's privacy or interfere in their karma; otherwise, you will disrupt your own fortune.

"Good, it's good for young people to go out and explore! But you must also protect yourselves and not act rashly. I will clean up today's mess for you. In the future, when you are in unfamiliar places, do not be so high-profile!"

Qin Luo and Wu Hua bowed to him in gratitude.

"Thank you for your guidance, Uncle! I will remember it!"
