Zhao Youtian suddenly understood.
The wisdom of age is in the making. Zhao Qingshan's advice cleared the fog in Zhao Youtian's mind.
As long as Zhao Youtian went to the town to report the case, the letters of introduction that Wang Biyun had taken would become a pile of waste paper. The public security comrades would definitely not allow Wang Biyun to use the letters of introduction to do anything bad.
Whenever Zhao Youtian thought about how Wang Biyun had put so much thought into this plan and it all came to nothing, he felt like the sky above his head was getting brighter.
Only after seeing off the refreshed Zhao Youtian did Zhao Qingshan have time to take care of the household chores.
First, Zhao Qingshan wanted to question Zhou Yuanyuan.
After the little girl fell into a coma last time, Zhao Qingshan took her pulse. From her pulse, Zhao Qingshan could see that Zhou Yuanyuan's "qi" was almost exhausted, but her meridians were automatically absorbing some useful "qi" from the outside world.
Zhao Qingshan was both surprised and delighted. He was surprised by the little girl's condition; she must have been forcibly mobilizing her "qi" to do something beyond her current capabilities, which led to her coma. He was delighted that his Zhao family, in its centuries of history, had only produced one genius like Zhou Yuanyuan. Even the ancestor who founded the Zhao family martial arts might not have been more gifted than Zhou Yuanyuan. Without meditation or intentional breathing exercises, the body could automatically cultivate qi, practicing continuously 24 hours a day. What an incredible thing!
During his time in Qingshan City, Zhao Qingshan would think of Zhou Yuanyuan's peculiarities whenever he had free time. Perhaps he should pass on the secrets of the Zhao family's martial arts to Zhou Yuanyuan. Only a genius like Zhou Yuanyuan could unleash the full power of the Zhao family's martial arts.
For Zhao Qingshan, his son Zhao Guohui was out of his mind? He could just slap him away and let him clear his mind. His daughter Zhao Yunxiang wanted a divorce? That wasn't a big deal. Zhou Zhixin just needed a lesson. Yunxiang's assertiveness would only benefit their future lives.
Only Zhou Yuanyuan's matter was what Zhao Qingshan valued most. The opportunity for the Zhao family's martial arts to achieve new glory might lie in this little girl.
Zhou Yuanyuan looked at Zhao Qingshan, who was smiling silly, and was struggling for the Nth time whether she should remind her grandfather to stay focused and not be distracted.
Zhao Qingshan was acting strangely today. After calling Zhou Yuanyuan into his room, he sent Wen Ziqing, Zhou Zhixin, and the others to Daqing Mountain to hunt pheasants. He said, "How can we celebrate Chinese New Year without eating chicken?"
Zhou Yuanyuan really wanted to complain: Before returning to Zhaojiagou yesterday, the chicken her mother Zhao Yunxiang had just bought from Sanhe Town was still "clucking cluck" happily in the kitchen! Is grandpa's eyes blurry and he can't see?
In any case, the house was forcibly cleared out by Zhao Qingshan. At this time, the only ones left in the Zhao family were Zhao Qingshan and Zhou Yuanyuan, the grandfather and grandson.
"Xiaojiu~! Grandpa wants to teach you a very powerful skill. Do you want to learn it?" Zhao Qingshan smiled like the wolf grandmother who abducted Little Red Riding Hood. Zhou Yuanyuan almost got goosebumps all over her body.
"Grandpa, can I just say I don't want to study?" Zhou Yuanyuan secretly rolled her eyes. Looking at Zhao Qingshan's attitude, could she really say no? If she dared to say no, Grandpa might not even let anyone go home tonight.
"Hehehe... Xiaojiu! That won't do. Grandpa can't let your talent go to waste. Otherwise, our Zhao family's ancestors might be so angry they'll crawl out of their graves." Zhao Qingshan smiled like an old fox and coaxed Zhou Yuanyuan, "Grandpa will tell you a secret. Back then, the first generation of our Zhao family relied on this skill to defeat everyone in the world."
"Grandpa, I'm a girl. I'm not interested in fighting and killing." Zhou Yuanyuan curled her lips in frustration. Grandpa is really something. He claims to be invincible? Do you think she's stupid? In the ancient era of cold weapons, martial artists who practiced to the extreme could defeat a hundred or a thousand people. Now it's the era of hot weapons. No matter how high your martial arts skills are, a cannonball will fly over, and even the most powerful iron vest and golden bell will be nothing but a paper shell. Not to mention nuclear weapons, which are weapons with power beyond imagination... Zhou Yuanyuan shook her head. The scene that followed was too sour. Just thinking about it made Zhou Yuanyuan feel terrified.
That's right! Only boys like to fight. I'm really out of my mind, using my fighting skills to trick a little girl. Or... should I use the useless bonus of Zhao's martial arts?
Zhao Qingshan made up his mind and said with a smile: "Xiaojiu~! Our Zhao family's martial arts have more effects than just this! As long as you learn this skill, you will become more and more beautiful in the future. Hmm... good skin and beautiful appearance. Most importantly, even when you are in your sixties or seventies, you will still look like a girl in her twenties, without a single wrinkle on your face..."
Zhao Qingshan started his endless deception mode.
A person in his sixties or seventies with no wrinkles on his face? Huh? A youthful appearance secret?
Now, Zhou Yuanyuan's interest was aroused.
In a previous life, Zhou Yuanyuan watched a TV series featuring gods and fairies, all young and beautiful, seemingly centuries old yet still looking their teens and twenties. Zhou Yuanyuan, then over thirty, looked more than ten years older than she actually was. Watching the youthful, beautiful men and women on TV, Zhou Yuanyuan felt deeply inferior. She felt guilty about the beautiful appearance her parents had given her, and her life was too tiring and heartbreaking.
Now, Grandpa actually said that practicing his technique could keep one young forever? Does this mean that I can stay beautiful for decades longer in this life? What woman doesn't love beauty? Wow! Just thinking about this result makes me excited! Zhou Yuanyuan's eyes are full of stars.
Seeing Zhou Yuanyuan's mouth drop open in surprise, Zhao Qingshan felt his troubled spirit instantly healed. What little girl doesn't like to be pretty? It seemed he'd found the right approach this time.
"What do you think? Xiaojiu, as long as you practice martial arts, you will be very, very beautiful when you grow up!" Zhao Qingshan was afraid that Zhou Yuanyuan would not agree, so he quickly added fuel to the fire.
"Grandpa, tell me about it! What exactly is it? Is it difficult?" Zhou Yuanyuan was genuinely curious and didn't bother pretending to be cool with her grandfather. She simply grabbed Zhao Qingshan's hand and started shaking it. If Zhou Yuanyuan hadn't tried so hard to control her inner ecstasy, she might have even drooled.
"Xiaojiu, wait a minute. Grandpa's going to get you something." Zhao Qingshan finally felt relieved. He quickly stood up and took down a box-like object wrapped in black cloth from the top of the wardrobe. If it weren't for the ancestral teachings that only those of the Zhao family could practice this skill, and only those who were willing to do so, Zhao Qingshan wouldn't have waited so long for Zhou Yuanyuan's approval before "requesting" the treasure.
