No one dared to stand up against Mo Han's words anymore, and Gu Liyan naturally became the commander, which surprised everyone, including Gu Liyan himself.
"Xiao Li, come to my place in a bit, I have something to tell you." Mo Han, with her usual indifferent attitude, looked at the few melancholy old men on the stage and said to Gu Liyan, "I'll go find those old folks and ask them for something. You go back and wait for me." Mo Han thought for a moment before speaking.
Gu Liyan nodded hurriedly, "Okay."
Mo Han walked towards the stage, her eyes fixed on Jiang Xi and the others who were about to leave...
This election ended unhappily for some. Gu Liyan had no right to interfere or influence it, nor could he comment on whether the people on stage who opposed him were right or wrong. He could only silently proceed step by step.
Li Mang squeezed through the crowd and finally reached Gu Liyan, patting him on the shoulder. "Benefactor... ah, no..."
Li Mang released his grip and said nervously, "From now on, you should be called the new commander."
Gu Liyan smiled and said helplessly, "I'm currently undergoing treatment, so I'm afraid I can't take up my post yet. I'll have to wait until I'm fully recovered."
"Don't worry about that. As long as we invite the Liu family's divine physician, he can cure any illness!" Li Mang said with a smile to comfort Gu Liyan. "Before we knew you were Commander Mo's junior brother, we might not have been able to invite them, but if it were Commander Mo, we could definitely invite them!"
Li Qiang broke away from the group and secretly ran over here. Hearing Li Mang's words, he said, "Yes, yes, Commander, don't worry. With Commander Mo's connections, he will definitely be able to get Doctor Liu to treat your illness!"
Gu Liyan frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "Divine Physician Liu? Could it be..."
That familiar face flashed through my mind.
"That's right! It's the Liu family. They're all renowned healers; their medical skills are incredibly advanced!" Li Qiang exclaimed. "It's normal that Brother Mo doesn't know about this!"
Gu Liyan nodded absentmindedly. "Oh, so she has such a powerful background..."
“Who says otherwise! The Liu family is one of the four royal families, and they hold a very important position in this capital city! Even the wealthy and powerful Gu Su family doesn’t dare to offend them!” Li Qiang thought Gu Liyan was referring to the Liu family, and said excitedly, “I heard that the Liu family recently invented an antidote, and now all the families are trying to curry favor with them!”
Gu Liyan smiled bitterly. The antidote must have been made by Liu Changxian using his own blood. Now that the snake people's venom is becoming more and more potent, it's no use without some antidote.
Thinking about how I left Liu Changxian without saying goodbye, I felt a pang of guilt. I wondered how that girl, who had been pretending to be strong, was doing...
Liu Mansion
Liu Changxian, dressed in a black suit, sat in the hall sipping tea. Compared to her own bitter tea, the tea here was several grades higher, but she felt that they all tasted the same and there was not much difference. The only difference was that the tea was hot!
"Mengxian, you suffered in the royal city. From now on, the Liu family will be your home. If you need anything, just ask the head of the family." The woman wore a red cheongsam embroidered with roses, which made her figure look incredibly alluring. Her phoenix eyes made her even more captivating. If you didn't know her age, you would probably think she was just a girl in her early twenties, not a married woman over fifty.
Although she was a married woman, her status in the Liu family was incredibly high; she was none other than Liu Mei, the second head of the Liu family!
As for why Liu Changxian is called Liu Mengxian, we'll have to wait and see.
Liu Changxian put down her teacup and sneered inwardly: What's the difference between what these two families mainly want and what everyone else mainly wants? It seems she's trying to suppress me with this excuse!
“Mengxian will naturally not stand on ceremony with you, but what Mengxian wants is something that only the Second Master can help me with. If Mengxian asks, I wonder if the Second Master would agree?” Liu Changxian said with a smile.
Liu Mei smiled insincerely and said, "You have rendered great service to the Liu family, so naturally we will grant your every request. Just say it!"
"Back then, my father, Liu Yong, was also one of the candidates to inherit the position of head of the Liu family. Who knew that he would cause someone's death due to a misdiagnosis? Because of this, our lineage was expelled from the capital and removed from the family genealogy. Later, we settled in the royal city. After that, my brother, Liu Changxian, went to the capital to take the medical certificate exam. It was personally reviewed by the second-in-command. Do you remember?"
Liu Mei's eyelids twitched, and she nodded with a forced smile. "That's right. I was a mentor in that year's class. Your brother, Liu Changxian... was very outstanding."
"Then why didn't you keep him? Why did you let the Liu family mock him for not being worthy of being a doctor, and even drive him out of the capital!" Liu Changxian asked excitedly.
Liu Mei frowned, took a deep breath, and said, "There are only a limited number of spots left, and there are many people more outstanding than him. Moreover, the medical report showed that he had snake-man sperm in his body. We kicked him out because we suspected his identity. As for what happens to him after that... it seems to be your problem!"
Hearing Liu Mei's explanation, Liu Changxian slumped into a chair, dejected. "How could that be? How could my brother have anything to do with the snake people... It's impossible..."
Liu Mei stepped forward and patted Liu Changxian on the shoulder. "I know that Liu Changxian's death has had a great impact on your family. I have also heard that in order to take over the family business in place of your brother, you even disguised yourself as a man and imitated your brother's behavior in every way. No matter how skilled the Liu family's medical skills are, the dead cannot be brought back to life. This is the law of nature!"
Liu Changxian's eyes welled up with tears. Her real name was Liu Mengxian, and Liu Changxian was her brother. Ever since Liu Changxian returned from the capital, he had been suffering from depression...
She remembered that it was raining heavily that day. Liu Changxian, dressed in white, was wandering in the courtyard. When she passed by, she saw that he was standing on the legs of a snake-man. Thinking that the snake-man had invaded her, she picked up the dagger she was carrying and stabbed him in the heart. But just as the "snake-man" died, she suddenly realized that the snake-man was her brother, Liu Changxian, and the snake body under Liu Changxian returned to its original state.
