Chapter 948: Chapter 565: Stubbornness
For others, Liu Yun’s coldness might be a bit challenging, but for Liu Hun, it’s not a difficult matter.
A moment later, Liu Hun brought Liu Yun back inside the house, then used silver needles to stimulate the acupuncture points, enhancing the body’s potential and temperature, while simultaneously driving out the coldness within her body.
After nearly half an hour, Liu Hun finally put away the silver needles slowly.
Seeing Liu Hun with some sweat on his forehead, Liu Yun gently reached out her hand to wipe it away, a slight smile appearing at the corner of her mouth, and said, "The serious look in your eyes when you treat illnesses is still exactly the same as it was back then."
"What kind of look do I have when I treat illnesses?" Liu Hun asked with a smile.
"You have a special kind of charm, I finally understand why so many girls are so enamored with you," Liu Yun thought carefully before exclaiming to Liu Hun.
Seeing Liu Yun bring up this matter again, Liu Hun didn’t respond to Liu Yun. His relationship with Liu Yun was merely one-sided on Liu Yun’s part, but Liu Hun knew that there aren’t many people in this world who genuinely care for you.
Having one more is already very lucky; yet he had nothing to argue against it; after all, what Liu Yun said was a fact.
"What do you plan to do next?" Liu Yun’s beautiful eyes flashed a trace of disappointment as she shook her head and then seriously asked Liu Hun.
"I’ll cultivate a good relationship with your uncle first. After all, my current influence is still too weak, and I must rely on your uncle’s status, otherwise, I fear I may never truly reach that level of affairs." Speaking of this matter, Liu Hun felt somewhat helpless.
"Then be careful," Liu Yun nodded and reminded Liu Hun.
"Hmm, next, you should rest for a day or two. Your body still needs another treatment from me to be completely cured. As for now, I think your uncle and your dad have been waiting impatiently." Liu Hun gently instructed Liu Yun with a smile.
Liu Yun had no objection to this; seeing Liu Hun one more time was already enough for her.
Originally, she thought Liu Hun had completely left this world, but no one expected fate to be so unpredictable.
Just stepping out of Liu Yun’s room, Liu Hun immediately saw Liu Dehai and Liu Deguang, the two brothers, standing worriedly by the door.
"Liu Hun, how is Xiao Yun’s illness?" Liu Deguang asked Liu Hun anxiously.
The coldness every autumn and winter is an extremely difficult time for Liu Yun, leaving her whole body weak, and her body extremely cold, at any moment facing life-threatening danger.
If even Liu Hun couldn’t handle this illness, then probably no one could in this world, thus Liu Hun can be considered their last life-saving straw.
"Uncle Liu, Miss Liu’s illness is no longer a big problem. Going forward, just one more treatment should cure her, so you don’t need to worry." Liu Hun nodded to the two men.
"Bang!" As soon as Liu Hun’s words fell, Liu Deguang rushed inside to show concern for his daughter.
Seeing his brother’s look, Liu Dehai spoke helplessly, "Liu Hun, don’t mind, that old guy only has one daughter, naturally, he’s a bit anxious." "It’s alright, such things are quite common for a doctor," Liu Hun smiled.
"Let’s go, join your uncle for a cup of tea," Liu Dehai nodded after hearing Liu Hun’s words and then said to Liu Hun.
Watching Liu Dehai turn and slowly head downstairs, Liu Hun slightly narrowed his eyes; indeed, apart from the illness, Liu Dehai had other things for him.
Soon, the two of them arrived at a garden downstairs, where there existed a stone table and several stone stools, and on the stone table was already a pot of hot tea and several teacups.
After Liu Dehai sat down on his own, he nodded to Liu Hun, gesturing for him to sit as well, then started tending to the pot of tea.
"This tea is the most authentic ’Da Hong Pao.’ Although it’s not considered excellent tea, the water is snow water from Heaven Mountain, so the taste is quite pleasant," Liu Dehai said as he attended to the tea while introducing it to Liu Hun.
Upon hearing Liu Dehai’s words, Liu Hun couldn’t help but roll his eyes in his heart and said with a hint of annoyance, "If this is still considered passable, then there’s no good tea in the world."
"If I’m not mistaken, this Dahongpao should come from the world’s only ancient Wuzhu tea tree, which produces less than a pound of tea leaves each year. Although the water source is Heaven Mountain’s snow water, finding such unpolluted snow water must require finding it in caves. In the caves, at most only the edges have it, so I guess this snow water was found deep within a cave. With all these factors, it’s not easy to acquire any of them. If Uncle Liu says this isn’t considered good tea, I’m afraid there’s no good tea in the world." Liu Hun calmly explained to Liu Dehai.
After listening to Liu Hun’s explanation, a trace of surprise flickered in Liu Dehai’s eyes. He hadn’t expected Liu Hun to recognize the tea’s origin.
"It seems Liu Hun is truly knowledgeable and talented, but I have a question that has been puzzling me. I wonder if Liu Hun can help clear this up for me. Of course, if it involves your **, just pretend I didn’t ask," Liu Dehai said, the surprise in his eyes quickly fading as he calmly continued questioning Liu Hun.
"Uncle Liu, feel free to ask. As long as it’s something I know, I won’t dare hide anything," Liu Hun replied respectfully.
"I read a report about you before. Back then, you saved a girl by accident and got hit on the head by some thugs, becoming foolish for three years. But after three years, you suddenly woke up and seemed like a different person. Is it really as you said, that it was an ancestral spirit granting you this?" Liu Dehai, full of curiosity, asked as he recalled the event.
After all, such a mysterious event is definitely worth exploring.
"Since there are even cultivators in this world, what else is impossible? After all, in the past, I would have considered the concept of cultivators as a myth," Liu Hun retorted.
Liu Dehai was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. Liu Hun’s words tactfully reminded him of those cultivators under Wenhua’s control.
This also indicated that Liu Hun was already a cultivator, which excited Liu Dehai immensely.
In his view, if Liu Hun could be useful to him, it would be greatly beneficial. After all, Liu Hun was young and capable, with extraordinary intellect and medical skills — qualities that other cultivators lacked.
"Liu Hun, since you know about the cultivators under Wenhua, I won’t keep anything from you today. If Wenhua is willing to follow you, I don’t mind. And whatever you two do, as long as it’s not too excessive, I won’t interfere. It’s just..." As Liu Dehai spoke, he paused.
"You wonder why I would do this, right, Uncle Liu?" Liu Hun finished Liu Dehai’s sentence for him.
"Liu Hun, you’re indeed clever, seeing right through my thoughts, hahaha." Liu Dehai said to Liu Hun happily.
After speaking, Liu Dehai handed a cup of tea to Liu Hun. Without hesitation, Liu Hun drank it all in one go, rather unceremoniously.
Seeing Liu Hun’s actions, Liu Dehai was puzzled.
If Liu Hun had truly changed, he wouldn’t make such a blunder in manners. After all, a cultured person wouldn’t gulp it down.
But this doubt quickly faded. After finishing the tea, Liu Hun smacked his lips and said, "Indeed, it’s good tea. I’ve only heard others describe the taste of good tea before, but this is my first time drinking such fine tea. It truly is extraordinary."
Liu Hun’s words temporarily dispelled the doubts in Liu Dehai’s mind. To Liu Dehai, he didn’t believe in any ancestral spirit nonsense.
His only suspicion was whether the previously foolish Liu Hun had been altered by someone. But at the moment, it seemed there weren’t any significant flaws, as the nature of someone from the countryside is hard to change.
"If you like it, I’ll give you two ounces of tea leaves and snow water later," Liu Dehai smiled and said to Liu Hun.
"That would be too kind, Uncle Liu," Liu Hun accepted Liu Dehai’s offer without reservation. He then paused before continuing, "A man’s life is about choosing what to do and what not to do. Since fate is destined to make my future extraordinary, why should I hide? I moved from the Southeast Province to the Huaihai Province due to an unstable foundation. After all, I understand the reasoning that a tall tree catches the wind. But since I’ve come to Huaihai, I think Uncle Liu knows about my previous grievances with some big families."
"I’ve heard about that. But if that’s the case, why choose Huaihai Province?" Liu Dehai nodded and continued questioning.
He needed to clear this up before recruiting Liu Hun, or it would be like holding a time bomb, something Liu Dehai definitely didn’t want.
"Some things can’t be avoided, so why not face them openly? I plan to live life to its fullest. After that accidental meeting with Wenhua, I intended to help him take over Huaihai Province’s underground forces. Even though this force wouldn’t be mine, at least I’d gain a friend. After all, Wenhua and I have no conflicts of interest, so I don’t need to worry," Liu Hun spoke sincerely, occasionally showing a hint of ** in his eyes.
Seeing Liu Hun’s demeanor, Liu Dehai was very pleased. As long as someone has **, they are easy to control.
