Urban Invincible Medical Divine-Chapter 718 - 361: Malicious Intentions_5

Liu Qinglian took it and looked at it, liking it more and more. Her eyes shimmered with a crescent moon-like smile, and she turned to Liu Wentian, saying, "Are you really giving this to me?"

"Yes," Liu Wentian smiled, "It seems you’re admitting that I carve better than you, aren’t you?"

Although carving was not simple, for Liu Wentian, it was not difficult at all.

In the dreams where he received the inheritance, Sheng Tianzhan would sometimes, out of boredom, take up a small knife and carve something.

However, in the inheritance, many aspects were blurred. Sheng Tianzhan’s carvings resembled a woman, but the specific details were somewhat unclear.

It seemed that Sheng Tianzhan only showed parts of his life to himself, not everything in its entirety.

Nonetheless, within the inheritance, there was no doubt about Sheng Tianzhan’s cold and even ruthless character, which is why Liu Wentian also wondered whether he was not carving a woman but possibly something else.

After all, in the dreams, many proud daughters of heaven showed interest in Sheng Tianzhan. Yet, he didn’t spare them a glance, only pursuing his Martial Path with all his heart.

Perhaps, he carved wooden figures purely as a way to hone his temperament.

When it came to understanding Sheng Tianzhan, Liu Wentian should know more than anyone else. Although the faux hundred years seemed real, he was a witness to the other’s life. However, as for Sheng Tianzhan’s innermost feelings, he didn’t understand much at all.

Nobody really wishes to lay bare their innermost feelings in front of another, and Sheng Tianzhan was no different. He only let Liu Wentian understand what he thought should be understood.

Hearing Liu Wentian’s teasing, Liu Qinglian’s face became slightly red. Still, she soon nodded earnestly and said, "Your carving is not only better than mine; it’s even better than my grandfather’s."

She touched the little wooden figure’s cheek with her finger and asked somewhat shyly, "Did you carve me?"

"Yes, ah, someone was so anxious for me to impersonate her Ade Brother; it left quite an impression on me," Liu Wentian teased.

"I did it for your own good," Liu Qinglian retorted, crinkling her delicate nose and carefully placing the figure into her basket.

Then, out of curiosity, she asked, "By the way, why did Long Sister give you the Gu Insect and asked you to find her? What is your relationship with her? Don’t tell me, are you Long Sister’s Ade Brother?"

"Ade Brother? What Ade Brother?" Liu Wentian was somewhat puzzled.

Clearly, the woman was younger than him. If there were to be a misunderstanding, it would be more likely for her to mistake him as her younger brother.

Only then did Liu Qinglian remember that he was a Han, and feeling a bit embarrassed, she explained, "It’s just a term of endearment between lovers."

"Well, I am certainly not that woman’s Ade Brother."

Liu Wentian then realized that this so-called Ade Brother must be equivalent to a ’darling brother’.

He thought to himself that although the woman was so beautiful that calling her a nation’s beauty wouldn’t be an exaggeration, with her temperament, flinging about phrases like ’making one’s life worse than death’ or ’killing you,’ who would be interested in being her darling brother.

"I’ve come here to take care of a matter."

Liu Wentian brushed off the question, then, as something crossed his mind, he continued teasing, "By the way, when you called me Ade Brother earlier, were you asking me to pretend to be your lover?"

Liu Qinglian’s face turned red, and she glared at him, saying, "Ade Brother is Ade Brother, Ade Brother is Ade Brother, they are not the same. For example, right now, I can call you Brother Tian, just because you’re older than me."

"Alright." Liu Wentian smacked his lips, finding these terms of address quite amusing.

Liu Qinglian, confirming that Liu Wentian was not following her and also knew Long Yuanyang, let her guard down. The two then walked together towards the front.

Eventually, after walking another hundred meters or so, the Gu Insect’s direction diverged from Liu Qinglian’s.

Liu Wentian could see a row of unique stilted buildings not far ahead, exuding an ancient air, having withstood years of wind and rain.

That must be the Miao village where Liu Qinglian came from!

Liu Wentian smiled and said, "Alright, let’s part ways here."

Liu Qinglian was just about to nod and bid farewell when she heard him teasingly say, "Goodbye then, little sister."

Instantly, Liu Qinglian’s face turned red, and she glared at Liu Wentian, only to see him walking away.

"Jerk!" Liu Qinglian wrinkled her nose, but eventually, her face broke into a smile, finding him quite interesting.

...

Following the Gu Insect, Liu Wentian had walked for about fifteen minutes after parting with Liu Qinglian and finally arrived at a valley.

The outer part of the valley was surrounded by many trees, like a natural barrier.

The Gu Insect was no longer waiting for him; it buzzed a few times towards him and then flew into the depths of the valley.

Vaguely, he could see a stilted building that looked somewhat old within the valley. If he wasn’t mistaken, Long Yuanyang would be inside that stilted building.

"So many poisonous creatures!" Liu Wentian looked around and, amidst the plants and trees, spotted many poisonous snakes and other venomous beings.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, from a branch beside him, a brightly colored, triangular-headed snake shot towards Liu Wentian.

"Seeking death!" Without even looking, Liu Wentian slapped it away.

Bang!

The snake was sent flying into a tree trunk, dead as could be.

Liu Wentian didn’t linger; he walked straight towards the interior of the valley. Along the way, many snakes and venomous insects attacked him, but they were all effortlessly swatted away or kicked aside by him.

These creatures posed no threat to him at all.

It was only Long Yuanyang’s meticulously raised Poisonous Gu that he had some wariness towards.
