I survive in the weird Liaozhai

Chapter 108 Kindness

He came to the table and sat down slowly, putting the package in his hand aside. Gu Nian'an asked directly, "What do you want to talk to me about? Just tell me."

"Hey! Mr. Gu, aren't you curious about why I know your last name?"

"This inn is your property."

Ye Jinxiu nodded and said, "Not only this inn, but half of the industries in Xinze County are owned by me."

"You're showing off."

Ye Jinxiu shook her head slowly

"No, no, no. What I meant is that although our Yanyue Sect is not very powerful, our industries and influence are spread all over the world. You saved our people, whether intentionally or unintentionally, we must repay you. No matter what you ask, we will do our best to fulfill it."

"I said I didn't need it."

Alas! Ye Jinxiu sighed, "We in the Yanyue Sect cannot do such a thing as ungrateful to Master Gu. And if we do that, how will the world view us?"

"I don't like trouble. Don't come to me again. Don't bother me anymore. That's the best reward for me."

Hearing Gu Nian'an's request, Ye Jinxiu rolled her eyes and suddenly pointed at Shen Qiuxue.

"Mr. Gu, how about I give this girl to you? You see, she is pretty, gentle, and has a good family background. You will definitely not suffer any loss."

Hearing this, Shen Qiuxue's pretty face suddenly turned red. She looked at the smiling master, and then secretly glanced at the indifferent boy. She suddenly became incoherent.

"That...~Uncle...~~I...~you...~you"

……

She tried to think for a long time but couldn't utter a complete sentence. She was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes.

Li Hongyu, who was standing by, couldn't stand it anymore and looked at her uncle with a complaining look.

"Uncle Master, stop joking. You're almost making me cry."

Looking at the girl who was about to cry, Ye Jinxiu felt helpless. Whose temperament did this girl take after? Why was she so soft? She would be bullied to death by her husband's family after she got married.

Shen Qiuxue quickly wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeves, lowered her head so much that her voice was barely audible.

"Obviously... I didn't... I didn't cry."

He straightened his expression and looked at Gu Nian'an again. Ye Jinxiu's words became more serious.

"Master Gu, you don't know the identity of Xue girl yet, right? She is the granddaughter of General Shen Kuo, who guards the border, and also the granddaughter of our Yanyue Sect's great elder. So if you save her, it will be a great favor to both the border troops and our Yanyue Sect. So no matter what you ask, we will do our best to fulfill it."

"I have to repay the favor."

"Mr. Gu, if we can ignore this kind of kindness, we will be laughed at by the world.

And Master Gu, you know that we must repay favors and avenge our enemies. This is the foundation of our Yanyue Sect's survival for hundreds of years. Sometimes reputation is still very important."

Oh! Yes, whether you are in the underworld or in the court, having a good reputation will always help you.

A force that does not have much military power but can thrive in this chaotic world is simply because they have a good reputation, have made friends with enough forces, and have huge interests involved.

"Okay, two requests."

“The first medicinal material.”

Gu Nian'an slowly stretched out his left hand from his sleeve.

When they saw the condition of his left hand clearly, they couldn't help but gasp.

I saw that the entire palm was swollen, the skin was bluish purple, the meridians and blood vessels were clearly visible, and the overall look was a bit scary.

"Mr. Gu, could you please tell me how your hand got into this state? You should not have been injured when we met yesterday."

Ye Jinxiu felt a little confused when she saw the hand that looked almost useless.

"The aftereffects of practicing martial arts."

Looking at the swollen and purple palm, and then at Gu Nian'an's normal expression, Ye Jinxiu's eyes twitched.

"Okay, it's just medicinal herbs. As long as you need them, we can find them for you."

"But Mr. Gu, are you sure you don't need me to find a doctor to take a good look at you?"

Gu Nian'an shook his head slowly. "No, I know medicine. Just help me find some herbs that can invigorate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and treat meridian damage. They don't need to be too precious, but they need to be in large quantities. I will need them for my later cultivation."

"This is a small matter."

Ye Jinxiu picked up a piece of cake from the table and handed it to the child beside her before asking again

"Mr. Gu, could you please tell me which sect you belong to and what martial arts you practice?"

"She is somewhat interested in this kind of self-harming technique."

"Gu Nian'an of Qingyang Temple practiced the skills blindly on his own."

There is nothing to hide. If a force spread all over the world really wants to investigate, there is no way that such obvious things cannot be found.

Ye Jinxiu frowned and thought about it. She had never heard of Qingyang Temple. As for the martial arts, it was understandable that they wanted to conceal it. After all, in this world, the more cards you keep, the more hope of survival you have.

But? It was difficult for Ye Jinxiu to hide what she wanted to know. In a few days, she could investigate the entire ancestry of the man before her.

"Don't worry about the medicinal materials, Master Gu. I will arrange it in the next two days. Is there anything else you want us to do?"

"Um"

"The second thing is to help me find someone, Taoist Priest Qi Heng from Qingyang Temple."

Hearing Gu Nian'an's request, Ye Jinxiu agreed without any hesitation.

"Sure, Mr. Gu, can you tell me what characteristics the person you are looking for has?"

"He is about 60 years old and settled in Anfeng County, Jinzhou 20 years ago."

"Does Mr. Gu have any other information?"

"No, that's all the information I know."

Alas! He was somewhat helpless about this, as his uncle had only written to his master twice.

He told his master twenty years ago that he was going to settle down in Anfeng County, Jinzhou. He reported his safety once ten years ago, and he was not sure about the rest.

This time when he went to Anfeng County, he planned to spend some time looking for it.

It's just a county with a population of one million. Even if he can tell fortunes, without the birth date and personal belongings of the person he is looking for, there is no room for maneuver.

Moreover, Gu Nian'an was not sure whether his uncle was still living in Anfeng County or whether he was still alive.

There are too many unknown factors, so his trip to Anfeng County this time was more about trying his luck.

Ye Jinxiu tapped her fingers on the table lightly, and after thinking for a moment, she spoke

"The information is a little less, but it's not a big deal. As long as the person you find is still alive, we in the Yanyue Sect will find him for you."

"Okay, thank you very much. Whether you found the person or not, I owe you a favor for this."

Ye Jinxiu smiled and said, "Mr. Gu, there is no need to be like this. This little thing is far less than the kindness you showed me by saving Miss Xue."

Gu Nian'an didn't argue much. He just needed to remember the favor and repay it when he had the chance. He never liked to owe anyone anything.

"I will stay here for a few days. Feel free to come find me if you need anything. I still need to treat my injuries, so I will leave first."

"Well, well go and do your thing and don't worry about us."

Seeing Gu Nian'an walking upstairs, Shen Qiuxue's eyes were full of worry. Her palms were in that state, it must be very painful.
