"This is?"
"This is a secret technique."
Yun Qi cupped her hands in greeting: "I was entrusted by someone to find the descendants of the Chu family. The little paper figure just now was used to confirm whether you are the descendants of the Chu family."
Chu Zhengzhou: "Is it confirmed?"
Yun Qi nodded: "It's confirmed, you are the descendants of the Chu family I've been looking for."
"Who is looking for the descendants of the Chu family?"
"I'm not at liberty to say."
"So, what business do you have with the descendants of the Chu family?"
"It's nothing, I just wanted to see how the descendants of the Chu family are doing. If they're not doing well, I can offer any help I can."
Chu Huaiyuan looked at the young woman before him, whose temperament was ethereal and fairy-like: "Are you joking, young lady?"
Yun Qi said seriously, "Do I look like I'm joking?!"
Chu Huaiyuan shook his head: "I'm just curious, what do you mean by 'helping within my power'?"
"Why don't you tell me what kind of help you need?"
Chu Huaiyuan pondered for a moment and said, "From what you've said, young lady, you've been entrusted by someone to find the descendants of the Chu family. That must be due to the blessings of our ancestors. Could you please help me repair the ancestral home and ancestral hall? To be honest, I've been an official for decades and haven't accumulated much wealth. My clan is poor..."
"Understood!" Yun Qi nodded, rummaged through the exquisite little cloth bag at her waist, and took out a stack of silver notes and a token. "Here, see if it's enough. We'll use the money to repair the ancestral home and ancestral hall, and the rest can be used to open a school in the clan and hire a teacher to educate the children in the clan."
Chu Huaiyuan was shocked as he took the silver note: "What is this?!"
Yunqi: "These are my silver notes. They have nothing to do with Prince Chen, so you can use them without worry. There are about 40,000 taels of gold in them. The token is from Qingyun Bank. Manager Liu told me before that these silver notes can be exchanged at Qingyun Banks in various countries."
Forty thousand taels of gold?!
This shocked even Shadow One...
Yunqi looked at the group with a puzzled expression: "...Is it too little?"
"No, no, no!" Chu Huaiyuan quickly waved his hand, "It's too much, we don't need that much!!"
Yunqi waved her hand: "It's up to you and your people to decide. Whether you buy land, buy a house, start a business, or help the poor... it's up to you."
Yunqi had figured it out. For example, the Chu family in Tianzhuang Village might have their bloodline broken over time, let alone their family tree...
Therefore, Chu Huaiyuan's desire to renovate his ancestral home and ancestral hall this time already shows that he is grateful to his ancestors. People who have reverence for their ancestors are unlikely to be bad people. He only hopes that they can educate their descendants well.
Seeing Chu Zhengzhou's clear eyes, and his shock at seeing so much money without any greed, it was clear that Chu Huaiyuan had raised him well. Considering Chu Zhengzhou's military background… Yun Qi reached into her small cloth bag again…
Yun Qi waved to Chu Zhengzhou, calling him over: "Come here for a moment."
Chu Zhengzhou: "What's wrong?"
Yunqi handed him a talisman: "This is a talisman. You will inevitably encounter dangers when you join the army. This talisman can protect you and help you withstand one fatal danger."
Chu Zhengzhou looked at the amulet. A stream of light flashed across its surface, but when he looked again, there was nothing there. Although he didn't believe it, it was still a kind gesture, so Chu Zhengzhou solemnly accepted it.
Later, during a battle, when an enemy's dagger was aimed at his chest, Chu Zhengzhou had no way to avoid it. It was the first time he had ever been so close to death. At that moment, a flash of light streaked across the sky, and the dagger was knocked away... The place where he kept his amulet was still warm. Even after the battle ended, Chu Zhengzhou, still shaken, took out the amulet and discovered it was broken... He remembered when that fairy-like person gave him the amulet, saying it could protect him from one fatal danger... He hadn't believed it then... but it was true! He was incredibly grateful that he had insisted on carrying the amulet despite his disbelief; it had truly saved his life at the crucial moment!! (Of course, that's a story for later.)
Chu Huaiyuan solemnly promised, "Miss, I will definitely use this money for good!"
Yunqi smiled and nodded: "I believe you!"
"Ding... Locate Chu Yunqi's descendants in the human realm and provide assistance to the best of your ability. [Mission Complete]"
Mission accomplished!
Yunqi happily bid farewell: "Then we'll take our leave!"
Chu Huaiyuan urged her to stay for a meal: "Would you like to stay for a simple meal, young lady?"
"No need, I'm staying at Prince Chen's residence for now. I'll be going back to sightseeing in a few days, so I won't bother you any longer."
Yunqi and Yingyi said goodbye and left, and Chu Huaiyuan and Chu Zhengzhou saw them to the door.
"Let's leave it here."
On the way back, Yingyi kept grumbling, "Miss Chu is biased. I've spent these past few days eating, drinking, and playing with you, and you gave him a protective talisman but didn't give me one..."
"My fragile heart..."
"Here you go! I'll give it to you, okay?!"
As she spoke, Yunqi tossed him a talisman.
Ying caught it with lightning speed, her face immediately lighting up with a smile: "Thank you so much, Miss Chu!!"
Chu Zhengzhou may not recognize the value of a good thing, but Ying Yi certainly does. Based on Chu Yunqi's medical skills in saving her master, he was convinced that she was extraordinary. Therefore, her talisman must be a valuable item!
After happily putting away the amulet, Ying Yi asked, "Should we ask the Prince to pay attention to the Chu family?"
"No need!" Yun Qi glanced at him. "Don't talk nonsense in front of Gu Linchen! I was just helping someone out, and now that it's done, you don't need to worry about it anymore."
"That's forty thousand taels of gold! You just took it out like that, don't you feel any pain?"
"What's there to be heartbroken about?! Money is meant to be used, isn't it? Besides, why should I be heartbroken about giving it to my juniors?!"
Yingyi looked at Yunqi with admiration and gave her a thumbs up: "You're awesome!"
