Chapter 849 Finale 28
Quan Jiu stared at the monster that looked like nothing. Compared with the monsters she had seen in the Sky Continent, the demonic energy on it was almost non-existent. With her current strength, she could kill the monster with just a snap of her fingers.
"What are you doing in the Zhou Family Ancestral Hall?"
The monster trembled and shook:
"I was injured a while ago. Seeing that the Zhou family's old house was filled with evil spirits, I thought it would be a good place to recuperate, so I snuck in... I didn't mean to hurt anyone. The old man of the Zhou family was contaminated by evil spirits, so naturally he was more unlucky than others."
The evil spirit is a disaster for ordinary people, but it is a great tonic for demons.
Quan Jiu did not refute its words, but simply said to Zhou Jing:
"It has the sin of killing in it."
Although it was the first time that Zhou Jing encountered a supernatural event with her, he tacitly understood what she said.
"Demons in this world, those who are guilty of murder and haunted by wronged spirits, shall be killed."
"On the contrary, even if they are demons, if they have not committed any evil deeds, their lives can be spared."
An ethereal and clear voice came to mind, and a figure in red stood in the yard with her back to him, with white pear blossoms falling on her shoulders.
Zhou Jing's eyes were hazy, and he wanted to see the man's face clearly, but the scene changed, and the monster with horns was still in front of him.
He moved his fingertips slightly, and his five fingers closed together. A murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and the overwhelming pressure rushed towards the monster madly. Before it could even leave a scream, it was shattered into pieces, turned into particles and dissipated between heaven and earth.
Zhou Jing stared at the scene in a daze, then lowered his eyes to stare at his fingertips. At this moment, he had to admit that he was different from ordinary people after all.
There were too many puzzles left unresolved, and before he could ask, the housekeeper came with the bad news.
"Young Master, the master is vomiting blood!"
………
"The old man is already old, and his body has not been strong in the past two years. Now that the evil spirit has entered his body, it has damaged his vitality, so naturally he is ill like a mountain."
Quan Jiu stood beside the bed and whispered to Zhou Jing.
Zhou Jing frowned: "Is there any solution?"
Quan Jiu: "Don't worry, I promise to give you a grandfather who is a hundred times healthier."
While the housekeeper and others were not paying attention, she took out a few magical herbs from the space and handed them to Doctor Zhang.
"Prepare some medicine for the old man to drink."
Doctor Zhang is proficient in both traditional Chinese and Western medicine. He looked down at the "lush green weeds" and when he looked up at Quan Jiu again, he already wondered if this good-looking young lady was mentally ill.
Although this grass is full of vitality and looks tender and fresh, it is still just a piece of grass!
"What kind of medicinal herb is this?"
The housekeeper obviously didn't expect that she had medical skills. He was shocked and wary.
Quan Jiu casually said a name, and Doctor Zhang frowned even more tightly. He had never heard of the name of this herb. In his opinion, Quan Jiu was completely joking.
Doctor Zhang: "Which medical school did you graduate from, Miss?"
Quan Jiu: "It's just a traditional Chinese medicine recipe."
Now not only Dr. Zhang, but also Zhou Susu and others frowned.
"You come to treat illnesses without having studied medicine. Isn't that ridiculous?" Zhou An looked displeased.
Zhou Suisui was even more blunt, accusing him coldly, "Cousin, what kind of people did you bring back? Grandpa is already so sick, and she's still messing around. If anything happens to Grandpa, can she bear the responsibility?"
Zhou An's face turned cold and he ordered them to leave:
"Let this young lady go. Our Zhou family can't afford someone so ignorant..."
Quan Jiu wanted to open her mouth to argue, but someone grabbed her wrist. Zhou Jing listened to half of her words and indifferently pulled her away, leaving a room full of resentful Zhou family members.
Crossing the corridor, Quan Jiu followed behind him.
"Aren't you going to save Grandpa?"
Zhou Jing stopped and asked instead of answering, "Will you let anything happen to him?"
"Won't."
Quan Jiu answered in the affirmative.
Zhou Jing: "That's fine."
Since nothing will happen, it will save her from having to stay and listen to some unpleasant words.
Having said that, he pulled her out again.
Feeling the warmth coming from his wrist, Quan Jiu's lips curled up slightly.
No one dislikes unconditional trust and favoritism.
………
Seven days later, the old man's condition worsened. The Zhou family invited many famous doctors, but they were all helpless.
At the critical moment, Zhou Jing ignored the opposition and insisted on using the medicinal herbs given by Quan Jiu. Amidst the scolding of being unfilial, the old man's complexion improved visibly. He recovered and got out of bed that day, and his body became healthier day by day.
Not only that, the chronic illnesses in his body seemed to be swept away by a magical force. The roots of the illnesses left over from staying up late and working overtime when he was young also disappeared without a trace. The old man's appetite improved, and when the weather cleared, he got up early and went for a morning run in the garden.
The housekeeper timidly handed over a towel, and Mr. Zhou wiped the sweat from his forehead while speaking.
"You may not believe it, but I feel at least twenty years younger now."
The housekeeper didn't dare to respond, but just took the towel back silently.
Mr. Zhou: "Is Miss Quan still busy?"
After waking up and knowing the truth, he immediately asked to visit Quan Jiu, but she always refused him with the excuse that she was "too busy to spare the time".
The housekeeper sighed: "Miss Quan is still busy..."
It's not that he hadn't thought about asking his young master to act as a middleman and ask Miss Quan for help, but after hearing his request, Zhou Jing only replied indifferently.
"You were the ones who drove them away. What does that have to do with me?"
The words that were not yet finished in his throat were immediately blocked.
………
Quan Jiu wasn't deliberately making fun of Qiao, she was really busy.
The city recently approved a big project and everyone wanted to get a piece of the pie. In order to get the project, she has been busy for a week and even went on a business trip to City B for several days.
Fortunately, the efforts paid off and the project was finally completed.
001 saw her sitting on the sofa, holding a glass of red wine in a daze, and smiled:
"You're eager to go home?"
Quan Jiu glanced at him and added calmly:
"You single guys won't understand."
001 sneered, "Don't worry, I'll pack you up and throw you on the plane tomorrow so you don't have to stay here. It's getting annoying for me to see you."
He stayed in City B because he had some finishing work to do.
Quan Jiu raised his glass in the air and invited him to drink: "Thank you."
001 just smiled, and when he turned his head, he caught a glimpse of a figure walking towards him.
"Mr. Mo."
Zhou An's tone was surprised.
001 just nodded faintly.
His indifference did not affect Zhou An's enthusiasm at all:
"There were so many people around Mr. Mo just now that I didn't have the chance to congratulate him on winning the Jinyun Waterside Pavilion project. This drink is my toast to Mr. Mo."
He raised his glass and finished drinking, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of Quan Jiu sitting behind 001, and his face froze.
Zhou An knew that she had saved the old man. Recalling the scene when he drove Quan Jiu away that day, embarrassment appeared in his eyes.
He wanted to ease the relationship, but as a prominent figure, he couldn't bring himself to admit his mistake to a junior who was the same age as his daughter. In the end, he could only pretend to be calm and nod to Quan Jiu.
"Miss Quan is here too? The old man wants to see you recently. If you are free, please take some time to visit him at the old house."
When he came, he didn't see Quan Jiu talking to 001, and thought they didn't know each other. Tonight was a celebration banquet, and he knew that Quan Jiu seemed to have some small business at home, so he just thought she was brought here by someone.
Zhou An thought that his words gave Quan Jiu enough face, and bringing up the old man undoubtedly elevated her status in front of Mr. Mo.
If she wasn't stupid and understood his subtext, she would naturally feel grateful.
