CHAPTER 320: CHAPTER 320: IMPERSONATING A HOLY DOCTOR SECT MEMBER

Li Qingqing personally went to Tong City, contacted previous acquaintances and tried to connect with the Xie Family.

However, just after arranging the meeting time with the Xie Family, Wan Yufeng informed her.

He said there was a medical book in the Xie Family, and she must acquire it no matter what.

"What medical book, I haven’t even obtained the token, how am I supposed to get a medical book." Li Qingqing angrily hung up the phone.

But before she hung up the phone, she didn’t say that.

In front of Wan Yufeng, she humbly agreed.

In the afternoon, according to the address given by her contact, Li Qingqing went to the Wan Family banquet.

In the private room, Xie Mingtan sat on a chair, and when he saw Li Qingqing enter, he immediately stood up and ran over with a smile.

"Miss Li, I’m truly your faithful fan. Your retirement from the screen was one of my greatest regrets. I never thought I would have the chance to meet you in this lifetime."

Xie Mingtan held Li Qingqing’s hand, babbling about his admiration.

Li Qingqing smiled radiantly and very politely said, "Thank you, Mr. Xie, for your affection. To have a fan like you is indeed my good fortune."

Although she was over thirty years old, Li Qingqing was well-maintained and skilled at acting.

Every smile and frown contained the coyness of a young girl, which made Xie Mingtan utterly smitten.

"Miss Li, you’re truly beautiful. Even more so than on television."

"Mr. Xie, you flatter me. Actually, I’m here to ask for your help." Li Qingqing said.

Xie Mingtan immediately replied, "Whatever Miss Li needs, just say the word. I will do everything I can."

"Here’s the situation, I heard there’s a young master in your Xie Family named Xie Mingyu, who has been frail since childhood. Coincidentally, I have a remedy that might be beneficial to his health. However, I don’t know Old Sir Xie, and I’m worried that if I approach rashly, they might think I’m a fraud, so I’d like to ask Mr. Xie for help to introduce me and put in a good word."

This Xie Mingtan is also Old Sir Xie’s grandson, Xie Mingyu’s cousin. But he is over ten years older than Xie Mingyu and is very fond of this overly pampered young cousin.

Hearing that Li Qingqing had a remedy for his illness, he immediately said, "Really? That’s wonderful. I’ll take you to meet my grandfather right away. He will surely be pleased to hear this."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Xie." Li Qingqing expressed her gratitude.

Xie Mingtan held Li Qingqing’s hand, caressing it ambiguously: "If Miss Li truly wants to thank me, it can’t just be words."

Li Qingqing maintained a charming smile on her face, but in her heart, she wished she could kick Xie Mingtan out of the hotel.

However, having navigated the entertainment industry for years, she had seen all kinds of situations.

She withdrew her hand and smiled beautifully, saying, "As long as Mr. Xie can help me with this matter, I wouldn’t neglect Mr. Xie’s reward."

"Alright, let’s head to the Xie Family now." Xie Mingtan grandly gestured, leading Li Qingqing into the Xie Family home.

Li Qingqing was overjoyed, never expecting to enter the Xie Family so smoothly—things were going better than she imagined.

"Grandfather, this is Miss Li, Li Qingqing, and Miss Li has a remedy that might treat Mingyu’s illness. That’s why I brought her to see you." Xie Mingtan cautiously reported to Old Sir Xie.

Old Sir Xie had seen people like her countless times over the years, not to mention how many people Xie Mingtan had brought over.

He impatiently said, "You spend your days being unproductive. How many times have I told you, with this energy, learn from your father how to manage the business. You indulge in these useless things all day. Mingyu’s illness isn’t your concern, just focus on managing yourself."

Xie Mingtan was reprimanded, looking embarrassed.

Li Qingqing stepped forward and said, "Old Sir Xie, aren’t you even going to ask what kind of remedy I have before you reject it so hastily?"

"Hmph, no matter what remedy it is, we don’t need it. The Xie Family lacks no remedies." Old Sir Xie disdainfully said.

Li Qingqing smirked, "Does the Xie Family also have a Thousand-year-old Tai Sui?"

Old Sir Xie was taken aback, "Thousand-year-old Tai Sui?"

Xie Mingtan was also stunned.

He indeed acted thoughtlessly, and his grandfather’s reprimand was not misplaced.

Earlier, he had only heard Li Qingqing mention a remedy without asking what it was.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a Thousand-year-old Tai Sui.

Had he known it was a Thousand-year-old Tai Sui, he would have said so long ago, avoiding this unnecessary scolding.

"Sir, does the Xie Family have this remedy?" Li Qingqing smiled and asked again.

Old Sir Xie, with a solemn expression, said, "The Xie Family indeed doesn’t have this remedy, but this gift is too valuable. Since Miss Li is here, it’s surely not as simple as kindly offering a remedy. Whatever Miss Li wants, feel free to ask."

Li Qingqing smiled, "Actually, my purpose today is straightforward. My master previously left two items with the Xie Family; now it’s time to retrieve them. If Old Sir Xie can return these two items from our Medical Sect, I’d happily present this Thousand-year-old Tai Sui to you as a token of gratitude."

"Master? Sect? May I know to whom Miss Li is apprenticed?" Old Sir Xie asked.

"My mentor from the Holy Doctor Sect, Zisu, left two gifts here with Old Sir Xie. One is the remaining half of our Holy Doctor Sect’s token, and the other is a medical book called ’Medical Circle Miscellaneous Records’. Does Old Sir Xie have any recollection?"

"It’s been so long, and I’m old now, my memory’s not clear. Let me go back and search, rummage. She did leave something here with me, but what exactly, I’ve forgotten. As for the two items you mentioned, I’ll look into it. But you say you’re Zisu’s apprentice, how can you prove it? Earlier, she had a young apprentice called Bai Zhi, with whom I kept contact, but I’ve never heard of you." Old Sir Xie said.

Li Qingqing immediately said, "Actually, my name is Shuixian, and this is our Holy Doctor Sect’s token. Since you’re an old friend of my master, you must recognize it. Bai Zhi’s original name was Ye Ningwan, but she has already passed away. I believe Old Sir Xie must have heard about this! Her sudden death disrupted many things, and I was deeply saddened by my sister’s misfortune. Before she died, she called me, asking me to bring the Thousand-year-old Tai Sui to the Xie Family to retrieve the two items left by our master. This was Master’s last wish, and my sister also promised Old Sir Xie to bring the Thousand-year-old Tai Sui."

"Did she tell you to bring the Thousand-year-old Tai Sui to take the items?" Old Sir Xie asked.

Li Qingqing slightly frowned, puzzled: Could there be something else? Did Ye Ningwan not tell her?

But now, she couldn’t possibly drag Ye Ningwan out for questioning and could only bite the bullet and admit, "Of course, the Thousand-year-old Tai Sui can cure Young Master Xie’s illness. Healing Young Master Xie would allow us to retrieve the token. This was the agreement you had with my master; what, wasn’t this the agreement, or is there another issue?"
