"Could it be that the Gongyi family is also involved in the research and development of medicines?" Chu Moyin drank half of the slightly cloudy milk tea: "I've never heard of that."
"Unheard of, huh? Well, that was all those years ago. Before I officially decided to become the heir to the Gongyi family, I was studying medicine. I always thought I'd pursue a career unrelated to martial arts—though in the end, the family business weighed me down, preventing me from fulfilling my dream. But I didn't return home to inherit the family business without making a name for myself. I'm not boasting, but my talent in medicine is far greater than my martial arts. I even reached a relatively high position in medicine. However, some destinies are like shackles without keys, impossible to break free from. Something happened, and my dream was shattered."
Chu Moyin said "Oh" and didn't ask any further questions.
Chu Shangli also roughly knew when Gongyi Shuiqing started studying medicine - it must have been before the Xiahou family was eliminated.
As the Xiahou family was eradicated, Gongyi Shuiqing, who had been working for the Xiahou family, had to return to the family.
"But..." Chu Shangli shook the cup. "None of these ingredients are truly medicinal. Of course, according to the theory that everything can be used as medicine, they can be considered medicine. But... what disease does Uncle Gongyi want to cure?"
"Perhaps... a mental illness?" Gong Yi Tianhe whispered, "You might not believe me, but I can read the aura emanating from a person—that's why I was so successful in medicine. Being able to read a person's aura is certainly a very good quality for combat. However, if it can be applied to medicine, at least for me personally, it's actually more useful than in combat. I can sense a strange black aura coming from you, so does the tea I offer you alleviate your gloom a little?"
"But just now you said it was useless and just wanted me to try the hot pot base to see if it tasted good?"
"That was just a joke. I was afraid that if I had said that, your black smoke would affect me... But now it seems my worries were unnecessary. The edges of your black smoke are quite neat, as if it is focused on a certain person or a certain thing, and it won't easily hurt innocent people."
Chu Shangli blinked for a moment.
Is this ability genuine?
Despite Gong Yi Shui Qing's personality, it is probably difficult for him to regard others as enemies and he rarely makes enemies, but it would definitely be very troublesome if he were in a different position from him.
It is definitely more troublesome than Gongyi Tianhe.
Chu Shangli actually admired his brother Chu He for offending Gong Yi Shui Qing in his previous life.
She was even a little curious about how Chu He had angered such a person.
"Uncle." Ouyang Huanshi had already silently cleaned the residue from the corner of his mouth and the water stains on the ground. He asked in a resentful tone, "Then why did you give Tianhe and me that drink?"
"Father probably treats you and me as family. After all, it's not very appropriate to joke like that with guests."
Gongyi Tianhe's words were denied by Gongyi Shuiqing——
"No, the reason is simpler than that. I just think that I should take good care of my eyes, and by the way, I shouldn't easily become enemies in love—" Gong Yi Shuiqing turned around and stirred the water in the jar, making a clear sound.
"The atmosphere between you two is a bit tense right now."
Ouyang Huanshi still had a natural smile on his face and said, "Uncle always makes fun of us." However, behind that natural smile was the greatest unnaturalness.
