The Liu family of Jiyang is one of the representatives of the five great immortal families. They worship Liu Xian and possess some of Liu Xian's magical arts.
The black egg that Liu Qingmei used to save people just now should have come from Liu Xian's body, so it was sealed with a black water talisman to prevent the demonic power from leaking out.
“That’s right, the Liu family from the Northeast.” Liu Qingmei glanced at Ye Xingchen and smiled faintly: “Scared?”
"Afraid?" Ye Xingchen chuckled dryly. There really was nothing in this world that he was afraid of.
He had never met Liu Xian and did not know her strength.
However, the household spirits whose skills are said to be miraculous in the three provinces of Jiyang must have extraordinary abilities.
The Liu family's ancestral surname was Liu, but starting from the generation of Liu Qingmei's great-grandfather, they established a relationship with Liu Xian, offering sacrifices and acting as Liu Xian's representative in Jiyang.
Because of this identity, the Liu family was able to survive during the turbulent times. Later, they were bestowed the surname Liu by the Immortal Liu, and had a profound influence in Jiyang along with the other four great immortal families.
“I’m not afraid. Now that you mention it, I understand what that porcelain bottle you’re holding is. No wonder it’s so powerful; it’s from a snake demon.” Ye Xingchen continued.
Liu Qingmei's expression changed slightly, and she scolded, "In the three northeastern cities, no one dares to call Liu Xian a demon. Watch your words, or you'll get into trouble."
"Oh, sorry, sorry," Ye Xingchen quickly said. "No offense intended, but in my opinion, a demon is a demon. The locals have a custom of worshipping deities, partly out of reverence and partly out of fear of getting into trouble, so they call them monsters, isn't that right?"
"You..." Liu Qingmei was speechless after being rebuked by Ye Xingchen's words.
Indeed, there is a custom of worshipping deities in Northeast China, but most people do so out of reverence, fearing that these monsters will bring them misfortune. How many people do it out of respect?
And thinking about herself, a young girl, being chosen by her family as a bride and forced to dress like a young married woman.
However, after turning twenty-eight, she faced a tragic fate, and thinking about this, she became somewhat depressed.
"Are you... having some kind of trouble?" Ye Xingchen seemed to sense the change in Liu Qingmei's emotions and asked with some concern.
Although the Liu family represents the immortals, he felt that Liu Qingmei was a good person at heart, and she was unmarried. As for why she dressed as a young married woman, there must be another reason.
"No." Liu Qingmei shook her head, then thought for a moment: "Are you a doctor?"
“Yes, it’s traditional Chinese medicine.” Ye Xingchen nodded slightly.
"How is your medical skill?" Liu Qingmei regretted asking the question as soon as it left her mouth.
Ye Xingchen just saved a boy and cured his long-standing ailment. Does his skill even need further explanation?
"Not bad. If I say I'm second best in the world, no one would dare to claim first place." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly.
Liu Qingmei felt an urge to roll her eyes at Ye Xingchen. How could someone be so narcissistic? Did he think he was second to none?
“My grandfather works in the black market. I’m going to Jinling this time to bring him some medicine. He has a chronic illness. If it’s convenient for you, could you stay overnight in the black market?” Liu Qingmei asked expectantly.
"Okay." Ye Xingchen nodded. "What illness does your grandfather have?"
"It's not an ordinary illness. He's extremely thin and has an enormous appetite; he can eat as much as he wants without gaining weight," Liu Qingmei sighed.
"This is certainly not an ordinary illness," Ye Xingchen said thoughtfully. "Your Liu family possesses some of Liu Xian's abilities and magic. Don't you have any way to deal with this illness?"
“I’ve asked my great-grandfather for help, but he couldn’t solve it either.” Liu Qingmei sighed. “So I really don’t know what to do.”
"Besides being able to eat so much and become extremely thin, are there any other issues?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"Your mental state is getting worse, and your physical condition is getting worse too," Liu Qingmei said. "Can you cure me?"
"I can't guarantee a 100% cure, but I can go back with you to take a look," Ye Xingchen said. "Of course, that's on the condition that you trust me."
"I trust your medical skills." Liu Qingmei looked at Ye Xingchen.
Her sixth sense had always been good, and she believed she wouldn't misjudge people; Ye Xingchen's medical skills were indeed extraordinary.
"Alright, I'll go back with you and take a look." Ye Xingchen nodded.
The plane arrived at the airport on time. After getting off the plane, Ye Xingchen went out with Liu Qingmei.
A Maybach was seen parked at the pick-up point, followed by several Mercedes-Benz S-Class cars.
A man wearing sunglasses and a sharp suit stepped forward and bowed slightly to Liu Qingmei: "Hello, Miss."
Several bodyguards behind her bowed simultaneously: "Welcome home, Miss."
"Let me introduce you. This is Abiao, my grandfather's man. He's here to take me home." Liu Qingmei said, "Abiao, this is Ye Xingchen, a doctor. He's coming with me to treat my grandfather."
Ah Biao nodded and gestured for them to enter: "Miss, Mr. Ye, please."
Ye Xingchen nodded and got into the car.
He couldn't help but be curious. Judging from this setup, Liu Qingmei's maternal grandfather must be from a wealthy and influential family. Ordinary people wouldn't have the means to send so many luxury cars to pick her up at the airport.
However, considering Liu Qingmei's background, he felt relieved. After all, she was from the Liu family, and her mother's family must have been quite well-off.
“My maternal grandfather’s surname is Chang.” Seemingly aware of Ye Xingchen’s doubts, Liu Qingmei glanced at him.
"Surname Chang? I understand." Ye Xingchen nodded. The Chang family in Northeast China is a very famous family with extremely strong connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles.
Moreover, the Chang family had three sons, known as the Three Tigers of Northeast China, who were a dominant force in the black market.
Liu Qingmei's three uncles are no ordinary people.
The car circled around to the north of the city, to an extremely spacious villa.
An elderly man dressed in a Tang suit rushed out, supported by a burly man. He was Chang Zhen, Liu Qingmei's maternal grandfather.
The burly man supporting him was his eldest son, Chang Wentong, one of the Three Tigers of the East.
"Qingmei, you're here, Qingmei! I've missed you so much!" The old man hurriedly walked out, even dropping his cane.
"Dad, slow down, be careful on the steps!" Chang Wentong ran alongside his father, supporting him as if afraid the old man would fall to the ground.
Chang Zhen was extremely thin, almost skin and bones, but even so, it couldn't diminish his love for his granddaughter.
"Grandpa, slow down." Liu Qingmei hurried over, supporting the old man, and said somewhat angrily, "Why are you running so fast? What if you fall? I'm here now."
"Haha, it's been so long since I've seen you! I've missed you so much, sir! Please invite Qingmei inside and have the chef prepare a few more dishes." The old man grabbed his granddaughter's hand, making no attempt to hide his enthusiasm.
It's clear that he truly adores Liu Qingmei; he's closer to her than to any of his own grandsons.
