Chapter 125: Chapter 125: Lust at First Sight

"These three million are her consultation fee, which should be enough for you to repair the doors and windows,"

Having returned to the living room, Lin Fan placed the bank card Shangguan Min Yue left on the table in front of Li Yizhen.

The fight just now had also damaged the side room.

"How can this be right? Mr. Lin, you helped me save my shop’s reputation. I should be thanking you, not taking your money."

Li Yizhen quickly pushed the bank card back.

"I was just curious about the living dead without a pulse, so I came to join the fun; besides, I’m not a doctor. I can’t take this consultation fee, otherwise, wouldn’t I become a professional doctor?"

Lin Fan pushed the bank card back again.

The last time, Li Qiqi insisted on giving him the five million from the Qi Family.

"Grandpa said to take it, so just take it. Consider it as a dowry,"

As expected, Qi Qi intervened once more.

She tucked the bank card back into Lin Fan’s pocket.

"Hahaha, Qi Qi is right. Take it if you’re told to. At my age, money is no longer important to me. Even this Medicine King House will eventually be left to Qi Qi. With her rudimentary medical skills, how could she possibly take over the family business? So, all this will be yours sooner or later."

Li Yizhen stroked his beard and smiled.

The implication in his words clearly acknowledged the relationship between the two.

"Qi Qi, go out for a bit— I need to have a talk with... Grandpa!"

Lin Fan hesitated for a moment.

But he eventually changed his address.

After all, no matter what,

Qi Qi’s blushing cheeks proved that she was indeed moved.

"Then I’ll go make some food for you guys. You chat slowly,"

Lin Fan’s change didn’t escape Li Qiqi’s notice.

Her cheeks flushed, she quickly turned and walked out.

That smile brimming on her lips was sweet to the extreme.

"These past few days, the lass has been pestering me to teach her the arts of Chinese medicine, when she used to be quite against it. It turns out that a girl’s heart is outward. The water that’s been poured out can’t be taken back."

Watching his granddaughter happily bouncing around, Li Yizhen was immensely gratified.

Especially considering Lin Fan’s change of address, it was an indirect recognition of their relationship.

"Mr. Li, it’s really not right of you. I kindly treated your friend, and you take advantage of my exhaustion to push your granddaughter on me. Let’s have a good talk about the reasons behind this,"

Now that Li Qiqi was gone, Lin Fan could speak his mind.

Although he had overheard a lot of it under the bed,

it was far from as good as getting an explanation from Li Yizhen himself.

"It’s not pushing; I just feel that Mr. Lin is the best place for her. I found her a match because she seems obedient but is actually quite stubborn and needs discipline. I’m reaching an age that’s rare to see, and the yellow soil has almost buried my neck. My foolish son is no good at practicing medicine or in business; all I hope now is that my granddaughter will have someone to rely on after I close my eyes."

Li Yizhen quickly denied it.

After all, Lin Fan and Qi Qi had only just come together.

There was no substantial relationship yet.

This matter wasn’t confirmed, so of course, it couldn’t easily be said outright.

"Mr. Li, don’t even try. You might fool others with that, but not me. With your robust health, living past a hundred isn’t a big stretch. Rushing to bring Qi Qi back from abroad, you dare say it’s nothing?"

Lin Fan smiled faintly, "If I were you, I would have stated it upfront rather than waiting for the creditor to show up and seeking a last-minute solution. I can’t guarantee I’d be able to hold on when that time comes!"

Lin Fan knew very little about the Five Poison Sect.

If he didn’t get things clear in advance,

who knew what might happen if her deranged grandmother returned.

Lin Fan needed to be prepared in advance.

"Since Mr. Lin puts it that way, I have no choice but to tell the whole truth..."

Li Yizhen let out a sigh.

Lin Fan’s mind was meticulous, and he was quite aware of this on the chessboard as well.

Trying to conceal this matter was already meaningless.

"This matter probably has to start from the year I was sixteen. I was born in a rural area of Minnan and made a living by gathering herbs. That year, I went to the cliffs to search for a hundred-year Ganoderma, but at the bottom of the cliff, I found a beautiful girl. She was seriously injured and lay there with breath as thin as a thread, so I kindly rescued her..."

"Don’t say ’kindly’. That’s called being moved by lust."

Lin Fan couldn’t help but laugh.

"Anyway, I brought her back home, nursed her for three months, and she finally recovered. After spending that time together, she became Qi Qi’s grandmother, and she taught me this medical skill. Moreover, I know that this is just a small part, which is why she is truly the soul of Medicine King House. There were no difficult diseases that could escape her eyes,"

Li Yizhen said with an embarrassed smile.

What came next was the same statement as Qi Qi’s.

"I originally thought that after decades, she would have forgotten the hatred. But who knew, just after Qi Qi was born, it ignited her plans for revenge again. As far as I know, to cultivate the Five Poison Goddess, one needs over a hundred types of bizarre poison insects. Over the years, she has not returned, probably because she was collecting and refining those things. Once she has them all, she will definitely come back, and by then, Qi Qi’s fate will be sealed!"

Li Yizhen, with heartfelt sorrow, looked at Lin Fan with eager eyes.

"I know Mr. Lin excels in both medicine and martial arts, and I beg of you to take in Qi Qi. Even if she becomes a servant girl, being alive is more important than anything. I don’t want her to be turned into a poison person by her grandmother."

"She claims to seek revenge, but who exactly destroyed the Five Poison Sect?"

Lin Fan curiously looked at Li Yizhen.

If this were a blood feud, the problem wouldn’t be just with her grandmother.

After all, conflicts among martial cultivators are usually exceedingly brutal.

Tragedies of extermination were common.

"I heard her say it was a faction called the Seven Killings Alliance that has a deep enmity with the Five Poison Sect. Since her parents and friends all died in that catastrophe, I also didn’t dare to ask too much," Li Yizhen said, furrowing his brows.

The root cause of it all was not very clear to him.

"So, the ones tracking Qi Qi might not necessarily be her grandmother’s people. After all, a sixty-year-old woman determined to seek revenge wouldn’t likely be mustering troops or have influence reaching abroad. But now that I know of this matter, I will be on alert from now on,"

Lin Fan said as he picked up his teacup and took a sip of the fragrant tea.

The troubles entwined around Li Qiqi might be even more problematic than those around Ning Mengyao.

"Dinner is ready!"

As the two were chatting casually,

Li Qiqi walked in with a face smudged with soot.

She looked at Lin Fan and Li Yizhen with a beaming smile.

"Good, it’s time to eat."

Lin Fan, who didn’t get enough to eat that morning, did indeed feel a bit hungry.

As he stood up, however, he noticed that Li Yizhen had not moved.

"Mr. Lin, I just remembered I have a chess appointment with Radish head, so I won’t be eating at home. You two enjoy your meal," Li Yizhen hastily stood up.

He said a word to Lin Fan and then hurriedly walked towards the door.

"Do you really need to rush to create a world for two in broad daylight?"

Lin Fan gave a wry smile and shook his head.

Since it was Li Yizhen’s kind intention, he did not refuse.

But when he arrived at the dining room and saw the four dishes, so-called, on the table,

The steak looked like charcoal, the salad was just whole leaves.

The Italian pasta somehow looked like it had been scooped out of a stomach.

He finally understood why Li Yizhen had left so quickly.

"Li Yizhen, you’ve set me up!"

"Try it, this is something I prepared with care,"

Li Qiqi said, holding chopsticks in both hands, looking at Lin Fan with anticipation.

"Miss, if you wanted to poison me, you might as well just feed me poison directly, no need to waste food!"
