Chapter 664 Thank you Grandpa for not protecting you
"The Xie family is one of the four major families in my Qingmei Empire, and it is located in the capital." Qing Emperor said with a smile.
After solving the problem of Fu'an Pavilion's lair, he felt relieved and his tone became much lighter.
"Then let's go back to the capital together, and I'll go directly to the Xie family." Yan Li said after hearing this.
"That's fine, but this Imperial Congress..." Emperor Qing suddenly realized that the Imperial Congress had not yet been held.
"I will go to the Imperial Palace after I finish dealing with the Xie family's affairs." Yan Li was also a little embarrassed.
After the commotion caused by the Fu'an Pavilion, he had forgotten about the Imperial Conference.
"Okay, we'll wait for you." Emperor Qing nodded.
After leaving Qingmei Ridge, everyone directly summoned flying monsters and headed towards the capital.
After returning to the capital, the Great Elder of the Qingmei Empire volunteered to personally lead Yan Li and the others to the Xie family.
"Thank you very much, Great Elder." Yan Li was naturally very happy to have someone lead the way.
"You are welcome, Emperor Yan. If it weren't for you, we probably wouldn't be able to stand here." The Great Elder of the Qingmei Empire spoke the truth.
"Then let's go." Yan Li looked at the Grand Elder of the Qingmei Empire with a smile.
"Emperor Yan, please come this way." The Great Elder of the Qingmei Empire said as he led Yan Li and the others towards the Xie family.
As for Prince Lanzhe and his companions, they returned to the royal villa to rest.
"Emperor Yan, this is the Xie family." The great elder of the Qingmei Empire said, pointing ahead.
"Great Elder, why didn't you tell us in advance that you were coming so that we could welcome you?" The head of the Xie family came out with a look of surprise on his face.
"Master Xie, this elder just accompanied them here." The Great Elder of Qingmei Empire did not reveal Yan Li's identity.
He didn't know whether Yan Li wanted to hide her identity from the Xie family, so he didn't dare to reveal it easily.
"Who are these people?" Patriarch Xie looked at Yan Li and the others.
"A benefactor? You are the benefactor girl that Ze'er and the others are talking about, right?" The head of the Xie family's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Master Xie, you are too polite. If we talk about benefactors, then Grandpa Xie is my benefactor." Yan Li said with a smile.
"Great elder, young lady, please come in." The head of the Xie family hurriedly led the people into the Xie family.
"You actually found your way here?" Yan Li and the others ran into Wu Qin not long after they entered Xie's house.
Yan Li: ...
It's really weird that I can see this woman even here.
"Miss Wu, this girl is a distinguished guest of our Xie family. Please be respectful." The head of the Xie family said coldly upon seeing this.
"Uncle Xie, she must have a purpose for coming to the Xie family. She must want to get close to the Xie family." Wu Qin pointed at Yan Li and said.
Patriarch Xie: ...
This big-breasted and brainless eldest daughter of the Wu family is really a fool. She even wants to covet my own Ze'er?
No wonder Ze'er looks down on her.
The person who can have the Grand Elder of Qingmei Empire lead the way personally must be of extraordinary status.
Besides, with this girl's alchemy and medical skills, the Xie family also wants to get close to her.
Is she still needed to get close to the Xie family?
"You are right about one thing. I did come to the Xie family for a purpose, and the head of the Xie family also knows this purpose." After Yan Li finished speaking, she looked at Wu Qin sarcastically.
"I know, I know. Ze'er and the others told me as soon as they came back. Miss, thank you so much." Upon hearing this, the head of the Xie family said quickly.
"Uncle Xie, since you know that she came here with a purpose, why do you still..."
"Miss Wu, this is my Xie family's business. Aren't you meddling too much?"
Wu Qin was interrupted by the head of Xie family before she could finish her words.
Wu Qin's face turned pale upon hearing this.
"Master Xie, please take me to see the old man first." Yan Li looked at Master Xie.
"Young lady, please follow me." After saying this, the head of the Xie family took Yan Li and walked towards Mr. Xie's yard.
Only Wu Qin was left standing there gritting her teeth.
She has liked Xie Ze since she was a child, but Xie Ze always ignored her. She tried hard to integrate into the Xie family, but the Xie family tried hard to push her out.
How could she be willing to do this?
It was said that the head of the Xie family brought Yan Li and the others into the courtyard of the old man of the Xie family.
I saw a haggard old man sitting there.
Yan Li recognized at a glance that this was Grandpa Xie who had given her warmth and protection.
Yan Li walked over and sat down opposite him.
The old man opposite raised his head and looked at Yan Li. He was shocked at first, and then smiled.
"Girl, have you encountered any difficulties? It's a pity that Grandpa Xie can no longer protect you in this state, but don't worry, the Xie family will definitely protect you." Grandpa Xie's voice was calm and warm.
"Thank you, Grandpa. How did you recognize me?" Yan Li looked at him with red eyes.
Even though such a long time had passed, the first thing this kind old man thought of when he saw me was to protect me.
"Silly child, no matter how a person changes, his eyes will not change." Grandpa Xie said with a smile.
"When I got the news that you were murdered, it was too late when I rushed over. Child, Grandpa Xie failed to protect you." Grandpa Xie said with tears in his eyes.
"Thank you, Grandpa. It's not your fault. I've just been reborn in a different skin. Just think of it as an experience." Yan Li said as she held his hand and began to examine him.
I didn't expect that I had been hiding my identity in order to avoid trouble for him, but he already knew it but just didn't expose me.
"Child, grandpa is dying. It's enough for me to see you again and know that you are fine." Grandpa Xie looked at Yan Li with a smile.
"It's a demon. The reason why Grandpa Xie became like this is because of the demon." Yan Li said as he put down Grandpa Xie's hand.
"Girl, this evil creature is unheard of. Is there a cure?" Finally, someone diagnosed Mr. Xie's illness, and a glimmer of hope flashed in the eyes of the head of the Xie family.
"Others may not have it, but I must have it. Please wait a moment, I will make the antidote right away." Yan Li said as he took out the medicine furnace and herbs and started to make the antidote.
"This kid is too impatient. He must have been exhausted to come all the way here. He doesn't even know to take a rest first." Seeing Yan Li start to refine the medicine, Grandpa Xie couldn't help but speak.
Seeing Yan Li start to refine the medicine, everyone consciously kept quiet and waited silently for her to finish.
As time passed, a golden antidote appeared in Yan Li's hand.
"Grandpa Xie, take it." Yan Li handed the antidote to Grandpa Xie.
"Okay." Mr. Xie took it and swallowed it without hesitation.
When Yan Li saw this, a dagger appeared in her hand.
She cut a hole in Mr. Xie's wrist, and everyone saw something crawling down Mr. Xie's arm.
Finally, it slowly crawled out from the cut made by Yan Li.
Only then did everyone see clearly that it was a big fat golden worm.
Yan Li picked it up with a dagger and threw it to the ground, and the evil insect shrivelled up and died immediately.
Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, another evil creature crawled out...
Just like that, nine evil insects crawled out of Mr. Xie's body and then disappeared.
Yan Li examined him and confirmed that there were no evil spirits in his body before applying ointment on his wound. Mr. Xie's wound healed quickly.
