The Full-Leveled Healer Transmigrates to a Real and Fake Rich Daughter Story

187 Extravagant

Someone also placed a three-legged incense burner in the corner behind the screen…

Their movements were very skilled and well-trained, as if they had done them countless times. In just a moment, Xia Houqing’s surroundings were decorated.

These ornaments were all exquisite and gorgeous. Every one of them was priceless, turning such an ordinary central room into a magnificent palace.

A thin plume of green smoke curled up from the incense burner and filled the air. The fragrance was unique, crisp, and mellow, with a hint of sweetness.

!!

Gu Yanfei was dumbfounded and thought to herself, ‘Does Xia Houqing have to bring everything in the house with him when he goes out?’

“My Lord, have some tea.” A man in black nimbly brewed a pot of tea for Xia Houqing on the spot.

The fragrance of elegant and pure tea wafted over. Gu Yanfei’s nose twitched, and her eyes lit up.

The fragrance of this tea was high and clear, pure and sharp. It was thick and pure, signs of a high-grade tea.

In an instant, Gu Yanfei felt that the cup of plum blossom tea in her hand had become dull.

The silver-haired old man called Old Qi walked silently towards Gu Yanfei and the others. He stood upright and said coldly, “Our Lord likes peace and quiet and doesn’t like noise. Please.”

He naturally gave the order to leave.

“…” Gu Yanfei regretted it. She felt that she should have drawn an additional Lightning Fire Talisman on the paper crane just now and caused the entire house to collapse.

Chu Yi elegantly drank the plum blossom tea in his cup. His movements and posture were as pleasing to the eye as usual. He ignored the actions of Xia Houqing and the others.

After carefully tasting the tea, Chu Yi said indifferently, “Young Master Xia Hou, are you here for Emperor Taizu’s handwritten letter?”

His gentle voice sounded slowly, and a faint smile appeared on his face. His eyes were so bright that he seemed to be able to see through everything in the world, illuminating the room.

After he finished speaking, the room was silent. Other than the sound of boiling water on the small red clay stove, there was no other sound. The men in black brought by Xia Houqing seemed to be silent.

Xia Houqing did not comment. He glanced at the dust on the table in disgust and took out a new handkerchief. Then he slowly wiped his hands and stroked his sleeves.

What was Emperor Taizu’s handwritten letter? This was the first time Gu Yanfei had heard of Emperor Taizu’s handwritten letter. She propped her chin on her hand and looked at Chu Yi on her right.

Her clear eyes seemed to speak, and Chu Yi immediately understood what she meant.

“These are the notes my great-grandfather left behind when he was alive.” Chu Yi smiled at her. His handsome face softened with this smile, and he was as gentle as a spring breeze. “My great-grandfather recorded many ideas that he couldn’t realize when he was alive.”

“My great-grandfather wanted to improve looms, ships, gunpowder, steelmaking… He also said that the wine here is too weak to be called wine at all. He has a way to make real wine.”

Gu Yanfei listened attentively and had an idea.

She felt that some of the things Chu Yi had described were familiar. She seemed to have seen them somewhere before.

Where exactly was it?

Gu Yanfei tried her best to search through her memories.

She had not been reborn for long, so she was sure that it was not in this life. Then it must have been in her previous life… When was it in her previous life?

Chu Yi smiled and said, “My great-grandfather was an interesting madman. He had many wild ideas. He said that people could fly one day, and that cars could reach a thousand miles in two days if they were on track. He even said that there would be a ‘cannon’ that could blow up a city at once…”

As he spoke, he glanced at Xia Houqing, his eyes flickering in the candlelight.

The screen blocked Xia Houqing’s figure, leaving only a well-defined profile.

Behind the screen, Xia Houqing was pretending to drink tea. His demonic red lips curled into a cold smile behind the teacup.

He did not take Chu Yi’s words seriously. Young Master Yi was clearly testing him!

Gu Yanfei thought seriously and tried her best to focus. However, the harder she tried, the harder it was to focus…

Her vision suddenly darkened as a few double images flashed past. Her upper body swayed, and she almost fell.

She quickly held her forehead and heard Xia Houqing’s mocking laughter from the direction of the head of the table.

She regretted it again.

If not for the fact that she really did not have any spiritual energy, she would have drawn a few hundred more Fire Thunder Talismans and blown him up.

Gu Yanfei’s consciousness drifted, and she was in a daze for a moment. Then, she suddenly shivered.

That night, she drew talismans, read fortunes, and fought tit-for-tat. She was at her limit in spirit and stamina, especially since there was a lack of spiritual energy here. She was practically using her life to do divination and was almost hollowed out.

“You should rest.” Chu Yi’s gentle voice was like a spring breeze turning to rain.

Indeed, Gu Yanfei would never force herself. She stood up obediently.

But she was too tired. As soon as she stood up, she felt a strong wave of fatigue sweep over her. Her eyelids were heavy, and her feet began to float again.

Chu Yi quickly caught her. His eyes were filled with a gentle smile, and his eyebrows were beautiful.

His gaze seemed to say that he was there.

Gu Yanfei’s eyes glazed over again. She smiled tiredly at him.

Her heavy eyelids finally lowered, and endless darkness surged over…

The last thought in her mind before the darkness overwhelmed her completely was—

Where had she seen this letter before?
