"Virgin's blood? That's no problem. My daughter is still a virgin, I'll have her prepare some right away."
Xue Xigui turned to Xue Ying and said sternly, "Xiao Ying, quickly bite your finger and prepare some blood for Mr. Li."
"Dad, you're really listening to him!"
Xue Ying immediately showed a reluctant expression, frowned, and said, "He's clearly playing tricks on you, no, he's playing tricks on me."
"Mr. Li is considering our Xue family, how could he play tricks on you? Your body is invaded by evil energy, a little blood won't hurt. Cooperate with Mr. Li quickly." Xue Xigui said seriously.
"But..."
Xue Ying was still a bit unwilling, but seeing her father's firm stance, she couldn't say much more and could only pout, "Alright, I promise."
Immediately, she endured the pain and bit her finger with her clean teeth. Blood flowed from her finger.
However, Li Yang stood still without reacting. Seeing several drops of blood fall, she looked at Li Yang in surprise and asked, "Hey, why aren't you doing anything? My blood will be gone soon."
"Miss Xue, don't forget what you just said!"
Only then did Li Yang turn his head, give her a triumphant smile, and casually grabbed her hand, dripping the blood into the cinnabar.
Xue Ying was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that this guy was playing with her, deliberately delaying time just to make her admit she was a dog.
Truly shameless!
"That's enough, go bandage it yourself."
After Li Yang got enough blood, he threw her hand away in disgust, then quickly mixed the cinnabar, took some cinnabar with his finger, and quickly wrote on the yellow paper.
Before long, a talisman was finished. Li Yang placed it on the antique and, with a surge of true qi, the talisman instantly became invisible and disappeared.
This scene shocked Xue Xigui!
"Master, Mr. Li is truly a master. I didn't expect Mr. Li to be so proficient in this kind of exorcism talisman art!" Xue Xigui exclaimed in surprise.
"I only know a little bit, nothing profound. Uncle Xue flatters me. Today, you should thank your daughter. If it weren't for her virgin blood, this talisman probably wouldn't have been made." Li Yang said humbly.
"Hmph!"
Xue Xigui said nothing, but Xue Ying was so angry her face turned red. She glared fiercely at Li Yang and then left the treasure room to find a band-aid for her wound.
After Li Yang helped Xue Xigui clear the evil energy from the antique, he found several treasures with spiritual energy from the pile of antiques. He was overjoyed. Under the guise of admiring them, he quietly absorbed the spiritual energy within into his body.
After a moment, he felt refreshed all over, as clean as the first breath of air absorbed after opening the window in the early morning.
"Mr. Li, this is a small token of my sincerity. I hope you don't mind!"
After Li Yang left the treasure room with Xue Xigui, he was stopped by him as soon as they parted ways. Xue Xigui handed him a superior century-old ginseng.
"Uncle Xue, this gift is too precious. Please keep it for your own collection." Li Yang saw that the ginseng was very valuable, as it was pure wild ginseng, worth a fortune, and not always available even with money.
However, Xue Xigui was very persistent and shook his head, saying, "Mr. Li, keeping this ginseng is a waste, and I don't need it. If you take it back, perhaps it can be used when treating patients. I heard from Old Bai that your medical skills are also very impressive."
"This... alright, since Uncle Xue is so kind, I'll accept it."
Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Li Yang finally accepted it.
Xue Xigui was overjoyed. This way, he had officially established a connection with Li Yang. If he needed Li Yang's help again in the future, it would be easier to ask him to come.
Seeing Li Yang about to leave, he turned to look at Xue Ying, who was sitting alone on the sofa sulking, and said sternly, "Xiao Ying, Mr. Li is leaving, why don't you come and see him off."
"If you want to see him off, you can. I have no desire to see him off!" Xue Ying said indignantly.
"You ungrateful girl!"
Xue Xigui was furious and was about to scold her when Li Yang stopped him, "Alright Uncle Xue, Miss Xue is in a bad mood, don't try to persuade her further."
"Mr. Lin, I'm truly sorry. I will discipline her properly. When you come again next time, I guarantee she will be polite to you." Xue Xigui quickly said.
"Uncle Xue is too kind. I'll come again when I have time. I'm leaving now."
After speaking to him, Li Yang turned and left.
Xue Xigui smiled and saw Li Yang off. As soon as he returned home, he put on a stern face and reprimanded Xue Ying, "Xiao Ying, get up."
"What is it, Dad? Li Yang has already left, are you still going to scold me?" Xue Ying pouted.
"Do you know how much effort I put into flattering Mr. Li? I'm so respectful to him, and you offend him like this? If Mr. Li hadn't been magnanimous just now, he might not have helped us, and he wouldn't associate with us in the future."
Xue Xigui felt indignant thinking about his daughter's behavior just now.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He sternly ordered, "I'm telling you, you will immediately prepare a generous gift and personally go to Mr. Li's place tomorrow to apologize."
"Dad, I'm not apologizing to him. You don't know how he tricked me just now, he..."
"You shut up!"
Xue Xigui didn't listen to her explanation at all, his eyes cold, and said, "I know Mr. Li's character very well. How could he trick you for no reason? Even if he did, it's because you offended him first."
"Listen to me, I see Mr. Li always rides in others' cars when he goes out. He must be new to the provincial capital and doesn't have a fixed residence or transportation. You go and pick out a villa in the best location in the provincial capital, and pair it with a luxury car. Give it to Mr. Li personally as a token of your apology."
"What? Dad, are you crazy? You want to give him a villa and a luxury car?" Xue Ying asked in shock.
These were things she couldn't even buy herself, and now her father wanted to give them to an outsider.
"What do you know? Mr. Li is no ordinary person. I'm asking you to apologize with sincerity, not just for the apology, but also to get closer to Mr. Li in the future. We will need Mr. Li's help in many ways later on."
Xue Xigui explained very seriously.
He had originally intended to invite Mr. Li to their home as a guest, hoping to use the opportunity for his daughter and Mr. Li to see if there was any chemistry. If it worked out, he would try to set them up.
But he never expected his daughter to be so disappointing. Not only did she fail to develop feelings, but she also offended Mr. Li!
By giving Li Yang a villa and a luxury car now, he was also trying to get ahead of others. After all, if he didn't give it, the other brothers at the antique appraisal exchange meeting today would likely rush to give it.
