I Once Cultivated for Immortality and Eternal Life, My Passionate Blood Roaming Freely

Patrol Prefecture.

Inside the main hall, Lin Chang'an and Zhang Qing sat facing each other, while Qi Feng and Li Han cautiously brought in the two sisters from the Liu family.

"Brother Lin, Liu Yanran and her sister have been brought here."

Lin Chang'an, who was elegantly holding a teacup and chatting with Zhang Qing, didn't even lift his eyelids. He merely nodded slightly to indicate he knew, and Li Han and Qi Feng below respectfully retreated to the side.

Liu Yanran's name sounded like that of a refined young lady, but in reality, she was dressed in a bamboo-green fitted outfit. Her brows were like green peaks, and a light veil concealed her face, yet it couldn't hide her heroic and spirited demeanor.

The other, Liu Feiyu, wore a peach-pink dress. She was about fifteen or sixteen years old, petite, and had a cute appearance. Her eyes, in particular, were filled with a clear, vibrant light.

"Brother Lin, Brother Zhang!"

Even with the veil, Liu Yanran couldn't hide the black thread patterns on her white neck, clearly visible as a sign of the Black Thread Poison's damage. However, she now possessed less of her former arrogance and more composure.

"Junior Sister Liu," Zhang Qing grinned, pretending to be oblivious to everything, clearly there to watch the show.

Seeing this, Liu Yanran took a deep breath. She knew that Lin Chang'an was the main figure today. Moreover, before they came, Li Han and Qi Feng, intimidated by her strength, had mentioned Shopkeeper Wang's visit, so she had already guessed.

"I still haven't finished the Bigu Pills that Brother Lin gave me back then!" The once proud Liu Yanran was now beginning to accept reality. She smiled at Lin Chang'an.

Lin Chang'an was stunned by her words. Looking at Liu Yanran, who was wearing a veil, a glint appeared in his eyes. The former swan had bowed her head and was facing reality.

"Brother Lin," the not-so-old Liu Feiyu also nodded obediently and bowed. Although her sister had protected her well, recent events had also taught her to grow.

Looking at the two sisters, Lin Chang'an immediately smiled, his face full of warmth as he waved his hand, gesturing, "Since you're here, Junior Sisters, let's listen to some music together."

With that, Lin Chang'an was about to call for the musicians to perform. Liu Yanran took a deep breath. A tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs. When the Liu family was in power, these people's gazes were filled with respect, but now she was so lowly.

"Brother Lin, please don't joke."

Liu Yanran smiled calmly. Although her expression couldn't be seen, her composed tone carried a hint of stubbornness and unwillingness to give up. After all, who wouldn't be upset?

Especially since Lin Chang'an had three heavy bags of spirit stones placed before him, which were a stark irony in Liu Yanran's eyes.

"Oh, right, look at my memory." Suddenly, Lin Chang'an slapped his forehead as if remembering something, saying regretfully, "Shopkeeper Wang came earlier and mentioned something about this shop?"

Lin Chang'an calmly sized up Liu Yanran this time. If she hadn't been afflicted by the Black Thread Poison, this woman wouldn't have been abandoned by the Liu family, nor would she have been unable to find a suitable husband through marriage, because this Black Thread Poison was contagious.

As for Liu Feiyu, although she was attractive, Lin Chang'an completely ignored her. Everyone in the market town knew how useless Liu Feiyu's aptitude was.

"This is my family's shop!"

Little Liu Feiyu couldn't help but pouted aggrievedly, but Liu Yanran immediately glared at her, stopping her. After all, bringing this up now would be slapping their own faces.

Of course, there was also the possibility that the sisters were feigning weakness.

However, Lin Chang'an's face broke into a smile. Before Liu Yanran could speak, he exclaimed in surprise, "Your family's shop?"

"I!" Liu Feiyu stammered, her face flushed red. Although she was still young, she knew that saying anything more would only bring further humiliation.

Seeing Lin Chang'an teasing the Liu sisters like this, Zhang Qing muttered to himself, "That's enough. They've already taken the shop, and the sisters are unlucky enough. What if Liu Yanran gets desperate?"

"Brother Lin, this shop was indeed passed down from my mother, but it has been forcibly occupied. The law of the jungle has always been like this in the cultivation world."

Although Liu Yanran had suffered setbacks, she was afflicted by the Black Thread Poison and had nothing to lose. Her strength at the sixth layer of Qi Condensation was not weak.

Lin Chang'an slowly stood up, looked at Liu Yanran, and shook his head, "Junior Sister Liu, you've misunderstood my meaning."

However, Liu Yanran glanced at the three heavy bags of spirit stones on the table with a mocking look. Lin Chang'an, on the other hand, looked completely at ease, not even noticing the subtle glances from Zhang Qing.

"Junior Sister Liu, if someone wants to occupy your family's shop, you should first understand why!"

As he emphasized the last three words, Lin Chang'an spoke each one deliberately. Liu Yanran, standing in the main hall, let out a self-deprecating laugh and asked hoarsely, "Why!"

In everyone's eyes, Lin Chang'an had accepted spirit stones from the Wang family and had specifically come to reprimand the Liu sisters. Even the younger Liu Feiyu lowered her head, afraid she might lose control and show her anger, while Liu Yanran remained calm.

Seeing Liu Yanran's lifeless eyes, Lin Chang'an pointed at her righteously and said, "Because your family's shop is valuable!"

"If you don't let them occupy your shop, you're cutting off their source of income. How can they not deal with you!"

Being lectured with Lin Chang'an pointing at her nose, Liu Yanran, who was once a genius, gritted her teeth and looked up with a mocking smile.

"So it's my fault?"

Liu Yanran clenched her fists tightly. One could imagine how furious she was. Lin Chang'an, however, seemed oblivious to her sarcastic words and patted the table, saying righteously, "It is your fault!"

"Think about it, he occupied your family's shop, and he still had to come to me and openly hand over a large sum of spirit stones so that others would know that his business was legitimate and not forcibly occupied!"

"And he only got a small portion of the shop's actual value." As he said this, Lin Chang'an rubbed his fingers together, indicating that the Wang family didn't gain much advantage by occupying the shop.

"And you, knowing that the Wang family forcibly occupied it, didn't make a sound. If you had sent this portion of spirit stones in advance to explain the situation, I would have done you a favor, and your family's shop would still be yours. This way, you wouldn't need to resort to force, right?"

Under Lin Chang'an's righteous and shameless reasoning, even Zhang Qing quietly lowered his head and drank his tea. Li Han and Qi Feng exchanged glances, feeling that what he said made a strange kind of sense and they couldn't refute it.

Liu Yanran, who had endured the shop being occupied a few days ago, was now so angered that her face turned ashen. She looked directly at Lin Chang'an and said mockingly, "My own family's shop, and I still have to buy it again from Brother Lin. Yanran understands now."

Seeing that Liu Yanran still hadn't grasped his meaning and thought he wanted to extort her again, Lin Chang'an became annoyed. He put down his teacup and stood up, pointing at her, saying irritably, "You still haven't understood!"

Lin Chang'an looked at her as if he hated that she couldn't be molded into steel, laughing in exasperation as he pointed at himself, saying righteously, "I was once a youth who wholeheartedly sought immortality and lived freely with a passionate heart, but later I discovered that passion is not as good as listening to music and refining pills every day."

Lin Chang'an seemed to be recounting his past, then looked at Liu Yanran again, his eyes showing admiration.

"If you want to achieve something, protect your sister well and live here. Come! Learn to listen to music and live freely with me."

Lin Chang'an slapped the table, causing the three heavy bags of spirit stones to shake. He put on an act of genuinely caring for her. Zhang Qing stared blankly at the scene, thinking, "Good heavens! It can be done like this."

Liu Yanran now saw something and a look of suspicion appeared in her eyes.

These words! They seem to have a hidden meaning!

Indeed, the next moment, Lin Chang'an smiled with a firm expression, "Tonight, the two Junior Sisters Liu will listen to music here. It's been a long time since this mansion has been so lively."

With a meaningful glance, Zhang Qing seemed to understand something.
