Tang Xiu just smiled at Yang Shi’s contradicting words. This old lady was at least a hundred years old, yet she still wanted to go further. It was truly rare. However, he didn’t hurry to refuse her, but lightly replied instead, “If my guess is correct, you should have a big family behind you, right?”
“Give me three days,” said Yang Shi immediately after hearing it. “I’ll be on my own three days later without being concerned with anything.”
Tang Xiu fell into silence. Yang Shi’s persistence and her determination touched his heart. Back when he was in the Immortal World, he had met countless cultivators and immortals who abandoned their families and jobs just to cultivate and become stronger.
The Great Dao is indeed ruthless and merciless. Of those who had been able to blaze their way through the brambles and thistles to reach the summit of Supremacy in the Immortal World, each of them was someone who always struggled and fought against other beings and Heaven alike before they finally stood above the myriads of races.
Tang Xiu then looked at Xue Yu and asked, “Do you accept her, or not?”
Xue Yue didn’t answer Tang Xiu immediately but asked Yang Shi instead, “Can you tell me what you excel at?”
“I know Chinese medicine and am quite knowledgeable in medicinal herbs as well,” said Yang Shi as she continued, “I also understand Feng Shui, am an expert in finding Dragon Vein, have deep knowledge old objects and antiquities, and I also know a lot of things in other aspects, even some superficial knowledge about the divination technique of Heavenly Secrets from your clan.”
“Do you perhaps know my old ancestress?” asked Xue Yu.
Yang Shi nodded and said, “You should have heard about the Four Imperfect of China: Old Blind, Old Cripple, Old Deaf, and Old Mute. Your ancestress is called Old Blind, whereas I’m called Old Cripple.”
Xue Yu shook and she bitterly smiled, “Senior, you’re from the generation of my ancestress, how would I dare to…”
“No. I finally understand now why Old Blind crossed paths with Divine Doctor Tang,” interrupted Yang Shi with all seriousness. “She now has a deep origin with him because of you. She truly has played her cards well. It’s a pity that I don’t have such outstanding descendants as you. The Great Dao is a ruthless path to take that depends on one’s own struggles. I can go further and soar higher in the future as long as I can seize the opportunity at hand.”
Xue Yu didn’t speak anymore and simply turned her head to nod to Tang Xiu.
“That being the case, then you’ll help Elderly Chang and Elderly Bao to take care of Xue Yu’s business!” said Tang Xiu with a smile. “If you can sever everything from the mundane world that concerns and shackles you, your achievement in the future won’t be worse than Old Blind, regardless of how high she achieved.”
“Great, great, just great.”
Yang Shi said three great words in a row with an excited expression on her aged face.
The handsome young man, Liu Meng, was now incomparably shocked. He never dreamed that his grandmother would actually bow down so humbly just to work for someone else. It must be noted that his Grandma was revered as the Ancestress of the Liu Family, one who held the highest status in his family; even his father, the Liu Family Patriarch, was very obedient in front of her.
It could be said that Grandma Yang was the most important pillar that supported the Liu Family. His family would be losing its backbone with her leaving.
“Grandma! Please think about it again!” Liu Meng sprinted to the front of the sofa and pleaded.
Yang Shi fondly looked at him. But she shook her head and said, “I’ve been married into the Liu Family for eighty years already, helping the family to have many children and grandchildren. It’s been sixty years since I’ve been in charge of the Liu Family, and I’ve brought it up from a small family in the past to a big family today. I’ve already done what should be done. And now, the Liu Family will need to rely on its coming generations like you in the future, whereas I too will pursue my own dream and take the road that belongs to me.”
“Grandmother!” Liu Meng’s heart sank deep into the bottom of the valley.
Yang Shi shook her head and looked at Tang Xiu and Xue Yu, “Divine Doctor Tang, Proprietress Xue, I’m going to the Liu Family to bid my last farewell first. I’ll find Little Chang and Little Bao three days from now.”
“Alright!”
Tang Xiu, Xue Yu, and the rest got up as they watched Yang Shi and Liu Meng leave. Tang Xiu then looked at Chang Pinggui and Bao Anle, “Anyway, I can’t accompany you both for dinner. But Xue Yu perhaps has something to discuss with you, so she’s going to stay.”
“Okay!” Chang Pinggui and Bao Anle nodded with a smile.
A few minutes later, Tang Xiu took Li Qiang out of the restaurant and came to the street outside. He didn’t call Mo Awu to pick him up, but instead took out a cigarette and lit it. He then threw the rest to Li Qiang and said, “You’re the local snake here, so why don’t you take me to stroll around and taste some good food that’s offered by Chang City?”
Li Qiang rolled his eyes and said in a low voice, “I do know quite a good agritourism venue. The venison there is absolutely delicious, but the price… it’s pretty expensive too.”
“Is it far from here?” asked Tang Xiu with a smile.
“More than half an hour of driving,” answered Li Qiang.
After smoking up the cigarette, Tang Xiu then called Mo Awu to drive the car over and said, “You are to point the direction to Awu, Li Qiang. Let’s go to that agritourism venue you told me about.”
Green Lake Agricola.
It was located at a lakeside, surrounded by lush hills with pavilions that gave off an antique flavor. Quaint red lanterns hung high on the building, beautifying the night scenery here. Many patrons were walking in the long corridor, while waiters carrying trays shuttled back and forth from private rooms, leaving behind the appetizing fragrance of delicious meals.
