Chapter 679: Chapter 663: A King Emerges with Every Move
Qin Liuxi saw a crowd gathered at her shop’s entrance as soon as she entered the alley, scaring away passersby, which soured her expression.
With many eyes on her, she slowly approached the shop and said coldly, “All standing here like Gate Gods, who are you trying to intimidate?”
The crowd frowned.
Wan Bai, dressed in green and with a high ponytail, stood up, sized Qin Liuxi up, and asked, “Are you the Junior Temple Master called Buqiu?”
Qin Liuxi retorted, “Are you the one who led people to block my shop?”
Chen Pi came out, glared at Wan Bai, and said, “Why haven’t you left yet?” He then moved forward to take the medicine box from Teng Zhao, telling Qin Liuxi, “My lady, these are guards from the Quan family, here to seek medical help.”
Qin Liuxi glared back at him, “Here for medical help? With such an attitude, I thought they came to cause trouble. Blocking the way like this, some citizens are too scared to pass; are you afraid of their power or did you take a bribe to let them block the way like this?”
Chen Pi, scolded, had a bitter face and began to drive the guards away from the entrance, “Go, go, the master is back now, no need to keep guard.”
The guards said in unison, “Sorry, our master is inside, we cannot leave him.”
Qin Liuxi got angry and said bluntly, “Then drag him out and take him away.”
The guards’ expressions changed.
Chen Pi glanced at them irritably and immediately went inside to drive them out; the ancestors of the house were furious, and it all fell on him, he didn’t care who was inside.
Wan Bai was furious, “Opening doors for business, do you have to drive customers away like this? We’ve been waiting here all morning, from the Qin family to here, and you just drive people away without discerning right from wrong, isn’t that excessive?”
“Who are you?” Qin Liuxi glared at her, her eyebrows furrowed, full of toxicity, barking incessantly upon meeting, like a mad dog!
Wan Bai was about to explode.
“My cousin.” When Wang Yuqian came out, he saw the tense atmosphere and felt a chill, quickly stepping forward to salute Qin Liuxi with a pleasing smile, “Cousin, you’re back.”
Qin Liuxi glanced over.
Wang Yuqian said, “I accompanied Mr. Quan here to seek medical help, we went to the mansion first in the morning, but you had already left, so auntie showed us the way and we waited for a long time here, finally, you returned.”
This humble manner, made Wan Bai very unhappy, “Mr. Wang, your cousin really pushes others around, driving away customers while running a shop.”
Wang Yuqian frowned, “Miss Wan, running a shop doesn’t necessarily mean one has to serve everyone, opening for fun is also an option, whether or not we do business doesn’t matter, what’s important is to have fun. Moreover, my cousin’s medical skills are exceptional, giving her the confidence to choose who to treat.”
Wan Bai was shocked by his shameless flattery, “You, you!”
Qin Liuxi looked sideways at Wang Yuqian, smiling wryly, When did I realize that I had exceptional medical skills?
Wang Yuqian grinned obsequiously.
Qin Liuxi stopped looking at them and turned to the gaunt man, wrapped in a large cloak, being helped out from the back hall.
The aura of death gathered around his upper body, not going to live many more days.
Quan Jing was taken aback upon seeing Qin Liuxi, knowing she was young but not expecting her to be this young, probably not even twenty.
“Is this the Junior Temple Master Buqiu of Qingping Temple?” Quan Jing clasped his hands and bowed to Qin Liuxi, “I am Quan Jing, here to seek medical help, I’ve met the Junior Temple Master.”
Qin Liuxi’s gaze landed on his fingers; his nails were black and blue, this man is poisoned, even his blood had turned black, right?
“My cousin, Mr. Quan sincerely seeks medical help, has been waiting since arriving in Li City,” said Wang Yuqian carefully.
Qin Liuxi said, “Mr. Quan comes here covered in the aura of death, yet still stands before me alive and well, with skilled people keeping him alive. Why bother to travel all this way and suffer for nothing?”
Wan Bai heard these malicious words and could not help but scold angrily, “How can a person’s mouth be so malicious, and you are a monk too… Ugh.”
As she spoke, her voice suddenly disappeared.
Wan Bai was shocked. Her mouth opened and closed, but she could not utter a sound. She stared with wide eyes, full of fear, looking at Qin Liuxi, wondering what he had done to her.
Everyone was also stunned.
“Finally, it’s quiet.” Qin Liuxi dug at his ears and said, “My ears don’t work very well, so I can’t stand hearing dog-like barking incessantly around me. Mr. Quan, please excuse me.”
Quan Jing bowed his hands, his voice hoarse: “It is my fault for not disciplining well.” He looked at Wan Bai and apologetically said, “Miss Wan has also waited hard, perhaps you should head back to rest.”
Wan Bai’s eyes widened, she opened her mouth to speak, but her throat still made no sound. In desperation, her eyes welled up with tears, and she gestured to Qin Liuxi: Quickly undo this!
“Quan Song, please escort Miss Wan back,” Quan Jing coughed twice and instructed his subordinates, then said, “Everyone, please leave this alley and wait at the entrance of the street.”
“Yes.”
Quan Song quickly approached Wan Bai and said, “Miss Wan, please.”
Go, go where? What about my voice?
Wan Bai stood still, staring hard at Qin Liuxi.
Qin Liuxi looked over, his gaze carrying a hint of coldness, and said: “In Feichang Dao, speaking disrespectfully can be blamed by the Grandmaster. Miss, you better not provoke taboo and commit verbal sins.”
The Grandmaster: Me, a daily scapegoat!
Wan Bai’s pupils shrunk, her fingertips trembled slightly, her gaze was terrifying, like ice picks.
“Leave. The Silence Technique will wear off naturally after an hour,” Qin Liuxi said, turning his back and walking further inside.
Wan Bai was reluctant, but seeing Quan Jing’s disapproving look, she stomped her foot and left.
Wang Yuqian swallowed nervously, feeling fortunate. My goodness, I never saw her make a move, but Wan Bai suddenly lost her voice, I thought it was poison, but no, it was Magic.
He couldn’t help but feel lucky that he had escaped a disaster, and recalled carefully if he had also been arrogant in his words these past few days?
And this Silence Technique, even more formidable than poison, it silences without a word, just a single spell.
The magic of the Taoist Sect is indeed powerful.
If I could learn it, wouldn’t it silence people imperceptibly?
Wang Yuqian’s eyes gleamed.
Quan Jing was also somewhat shocked; he had seen Daoist divinations but had never seen such a technique. With just one display from Qin Liuxi whether to vent anger, intimidate, or show off her skills, she had achieved her purpose.
She strikes like a monarch; this woman is extraordinary.
“Why are you standing there, weren’t you seeking medical help? Come here,” Qin Liuxi sat behind the desk and gestured Quan Jing to sit down, saying, “Stretch out your hand.”
Quan Jing thought she was going to take his pulse but just as he stretched out his hand, Qin Liuxi grabbed it, and with her other hand, she suddenly took out a small knife and swiftly made a cut.
“Master!” The servant was so scared that he rushed over.
Quan Jing stared blankly at his fingertip being cut, black blood dripping into a porcelain bowl. Is this the Daoist doctor, the unconventional kind?
