Repugnant Gateway-Chapter 80

Sometimes, tears could be deceived, but when the stubborn young

maid ran forward with a few taels of silver in her hands, her tears would not be deceiving her.

An Zeng lowered his head to look

at the silver notes in his hand, then turned around and walked to the pawnshop counter and asked, “”Did the people who came

earlier come often?””

The person from the pawnshop replied, “”She doesn’t come very often, but she has come five or six times

already … I know that she’s from Lord Li’s house, but I still have to pretend that I don’t know her to prevent her from being

embarrassed.””

There were two pawnshops on the street where Sir Li’s house was located. The reason she didn’t go there was because

she was afraid of embarrassing Sir Li.

Madam had always been a frugal person. If there wasn’t something troubling her, how could

she possibly treat all of her jewelry like that?

“”Therefore, every time I set a price, it will always be the original price.””

He

looked at the hairpin in his hand and said, “”This hairpin must have been there for at least twenty years. Its workmanship and

materials aren’t considered good, so I guessed that it should be the jewelry his wife brought with her when she married Lord Li

… It’s difficult for her.””

An Zhan said, “”I’ll have to trouble you to give me all of the things that the Li family is in

exchange for redemption.””

That person quickly called for the waiter to fetch it, “”I don’t dare to sell the things from the Li

family. Even though I’ve received them, I’ll treat it as a loss. If I sell them, my conscience will be disturbed.

Logically

speaking, if we were pawnshops, we wouldn’t have been able to keep it to ourselves.

But the matter with the Li family … I can’t

earn this money.

It was said that the late emperor had known of the hardships Sir Li had been living, so he had been deliberately

transferred to the Department Head’s Department for Purging Officials. Everyone had said that the late king was taking care of

him.

But his character is the same everywhere he goes. “”

An Chao nodded. After packing up the items, he gave a bit more in

proportion to the amount of money he earned from the pawnshop. Then, he turned around and left.

On the main street, he met that

man who had gone to the Li family to ask for money. In his hand was the shattered silver that the young maid had exchanged with

the pawnshop.

The doctor sighed as he walked. After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and raised his hand to slap himself.

“”Fuck, how could I want this money!”” 𝒇𝒓eewe𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃𝒆𝚕.co𝘮

He turned around and walked back to the Li family’s residence to knock on the door, then he

passed the silver to Old Zheng, “”Look, I remember wrongly. A few days ago, Lord Li sent people to return the silver. It was my

brain that forgot about it in the blink of an eye. Blame me.””

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Old Zheng stood there

blankly, staring at the back of the man.

An Zeng intercepted the doctor on the way and dragged him into a teahouse.

“”May I ask who

you are?””

The doctor asked cautiously.

An Xin ordered a pot of tea, then sat down and said, “”I am someone that Sir Li has helped

before. Right now, I live a wealthy life, so I want to repay Sir Li. But you also know that Sir Li’s personality is absolutely

unacceptable.””

The doctor let out a long sigh, “”So Lord Li is actually the Fang family’s leader. According to the rules, he

should have been promoted to the Fang family’s Prefect, but the current Prefect, Lord Xu … Forget it, there’s no way to explain

this matter.””

When Lord Li was in the Fang family mansion, he did a lot of things for our people, and everyone respected him in

their hearts.

“”But this person, he’s too scheming … Even if he doesn’t think for himself, he should at least think for his

family.””

An Xin handed over twenty taels of silver to the doctor and said, “”You can keep this. It won’t be easy for you.””

“”Right … What’s wrong with the Li family’s young master?””

Speaking of this, the groom felt even more sad, “”The heavens are

blind. The Second Young Master of the Li family is such a good child. He is clever, sensible, and beautiful.””

However, due to her

weak constitution, she would always fall ill during the new season, and she would spend a lot of money on medicine every day.

“”It’s a pity that I’m useless as well. I can’t cure this illness due to my poor innate constitution.””

“”Well... can you do me a

favor?””

I also know how to use my medical skills. Just say that I’m a friend of yours and take me to the Li Residence for Second

Young Master to see.

“”It would be best if it could be cured, but if it can’t, I will do my best.””

The doctor nodded after a

moment of silence. “”The second young master comes to my shop three times every month. It just so happens that he will come the

day after tomorrow.””

If I take you into the mansion, I won’t be able to find an excuse.

“”Like this, the day after tomorrow you

will come to my medicine store and wait, pretending that you have met me at the right time. Whether you can help or not, it will

all be up to you.””

Ang nodded and said thank you, then said his goodbyes.

When the day came, An Zhe and Qu Liuxi left the sect and

went straight to the medicine store to wait.

The doctor had said that Li Yenian’s wife was a person who cared about her husband’s

honor, so she never brought Second Young Master to see a doctor when there were many people. She always came early in the

morning.

Thus, An Zeng and Qu Liuxi arrived outside the medicine store before daybreak. Lang Zhong also needed two hours to open

the door to wait for the people from the Li family.

The sky hadn’t even lit up yet, when An Zhe and Qu Liuxi entered and waited.

After waiting for a few minutes, a woman in her forties and a maid, who had seen An Ying in the past, came in with a seven or

eight year old boy.

The little boy’s face was very pale, but his features were delicate and pretty.

However, his body was too weak,

so his pace was not stable.

The doctor quickly stood up. “”Greetings, Madam.””

The middle-aged woman was none other than Li

Yenian’s wife.

She didn’t look very old, but the frown between her eyebrows was too heavy.

He was wearing a set of clothes, and

there were even patches on some of them.

People on the street said that the madam lived in seclusion, but in reality, she was

unwilling to change her clothes. Her clothes were too shabby to leave the house, lest she lose her husband’s face.

“”Who are these

two people?””

When Madame Li saw An Chou and Qu Liuxi, she was stunned for a moment, then felt a little uneasy.

She really didn’t

want to see anyone with her current appearance.

“”This is my Junior Martial Uncle.””

The doctor couldn’t find an excuse, so he

could only casually say, “”Although he’s young, he’s a closed door disciple who has extraordinary medical skills.””

“”He just

happened to pass by here. When he heard about Second Young Master’s matter, he specially stayed to treat Second Young Master.””

An

Chou stepped forward and clasped his fists. “”Greetings, Madam.””

The young maid looked at An Zhe. “”Ah … why is it you?””

An Xuan

said, “”I was too rude the day before yesterday, please forgive me.””

The young serving maid whispered something in Madame Li’s

ear, causing her expression to become more and more unsightly.

It was not that she was hostile to the struggle for peace, but that

her embarrassment was known to others and she felt sorry for her husband.

An Zeng did not say anything else as he held the boy’s

hand and came over.

The boy was obviously afraid, but he did not resist.

Qu Liuxi squatted in front of the little boy and said with

a smile, “”Don’t be afraid, this big sister will take your pulse, okay?””

The boy nodded and held out his hand.

Qu Liuxi carefully

examined her pulse, then let out a long sigh. “”It’s not that difficult. It’s just that when I was born, I suffered from a cold

feeling. The cold and moisture in my body were too heavy for any ordinary medicine to penetrate that deep.””

“”If I don’t live

long, I won’t be able to recover for a day.””

“”How long will it take?””

Qu Liuxi replied seriously, “”Two days.””

Even the doctor

was stunned for a moment.

The doctor looked at Qu Liuxi and said in a tone that didn’t dare to question, “”I’m not a genius in the

medical field, but I’ve studied hard for decades.””

“”Second Young Master is indeed too wet and cold. Ordinary medicine can’t be

cured, but he’s not only cold and wet …””

Qu Liuxi replied, “”I know. I didn’t say it just now because I thought Madam and the

others didn’t know.””

The Second Young Master was indeed not only cold and wet, his body also had a disease that was completely

opposite to the cold and damp … It was in the Qi Sea of his Dantian, where the fire energy was too strong, and his physique was

cold and moist, and there was a constant flow of internal fire, causing his body to constantly suppress each other …

The doctor’s

expression changed. “”Good … Your eyesight, your skill. You’ve already seen through so many illnesses just by checking your

pulse.””

Madam Li, who thought that Qu Liuxi was too young to trust her, had her eyes lit up.

She quickly took a few steps forward

and grabbed Qu Liuxi’s hand. “”Miss, may I ask if you can really cure Wei’er?””

Li Yenian’s second son was named Li Pingwei, and

his first name was Vishnu.

Qu Liuxi pulled Madam Li to the side and asked in a low voice, “”Your noble young master’s talent is

extraordinary, why did you use medicine to suppress his talent and not let him cultivate?””

That man’s words were indiscernible,

but it was because he did not know the way of cultivation.

Madam Li’s face paled. “”He … Father, he is not allowed to

cultivate?””

Qu Liuxi was slightly angry. “”So you want to kill him?””

Madame Li was stunned. “”You mean?””

Qu Liuxi said seriously,

“”Your noble young master is born with a fire constitution. If you can’t use cultivation to vent your fire qi, sooner or later

you will die from fire attacking your heart.””

All these years, you have been using cold and wet methods to suppress it. On the

surface, it seems like you have suppressed your internal flames, but in reality, you have suffered great damage.

“”I can only say

this much. If you still want to protect your young master’s life, you better listen to me. I can remove his cold and moisture,

but I cannot remove his internal fire. If he wants to live, he must cultivate.””

Lady Li said miserably, “”Wei’er’s brother’s

cultivation went berserk while cultivating. He’s still paralyzed on the bed …””

Qu Liuxi replied, “”Xingwei Street, Heavenly

Enlightenment Sect, send the eldest young master over. I will treat him.””

If one’s cultivation went berserk, it wouldn’t matter

even if one’s meridians were messed up. A Returning Essence Pill would be able to straighten out one’s bloodline.

“”Second Young

Master, you must return with me now. Give me two days, I will remove the cold and damp energy.””

Madam Li was about to kneel down,

but Qu Liuxi held her back. “”Doctor, saving a person’s life is your responsibility. I don’t need your medical fees. Since I’ve

met you, it’s fate.””

After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Li Pingwei. “”Why don’t you go back with your sister to

treat your illness?””

As she said so, the young girl’s calm confidence gave her a sense of elegance.

Madam Li thanked him profusely

and followed An Zhe back to the Heavenly Avenge Sect.

Qu Liuxi took Li Pingwei to cure his illness, and when he had nothing better

to do, he went to find Du.

At this time, the sky had just begun to brighten and Du was still thin and weak.

An Zhan heard from

several big men that last night, when Du was skinny and wrestled with them, whoever won would drink a pot of wine.

In the end, he

won seven rounds in a row and was so drunk that he couldn’t even walk stably.

An Zaixin said that this scum could only compete in

wrestling with people who couldn’t cultivate, and he even won a round of drinking …

Anjou pushed open Du’s thin door and Du

sprawled on the bed, fast asleep.

An Zeng looked at the messy room and couldn’t help but sigh. He packed up his things and then

used cold water to wash a towel. He then quietly walked to Du’s side … He stuffed the towel into his thin pants.

The thin Dean

suddenly woke up. He glared at Anjou and pulled the towel out from his crotch … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …

… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …

… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …

An Xuan looked at the ground, then asked with a smile, “”What kind of dream

did you have last night?””

“”Let me guess. I guess you must have dreamed of eating an apple last night.””

“”How did you know?””

An

Zeng picked up a potato that looked like an apple core from the ground and placed it beside Du. After a glance, Du’s face turned

red. “”This … is rather awkward.””

“”Get up quickly and come with me.””
