It’s obvious Liu Xu truly loves money; Xi Yu silently reaffirmed her sentiment.

The curse of becoming penniless was just a joke.

Hopefully, she rakes in a fortune every day, with endless wealth...

After sitting in the tea house for half an hour, Xi Yu suggested taking Liu Xu to see other places.

Although they hadn’t spent much time together, he could tell Liu Xu wasn’t a deceitful person.

He therefore relaxed his guard.

Still, the point remains, Ah Zhen and Mingzhu aren’t fools; there’s no need for him to worry blindly!

Liu Xu, although wanting to get familiar with Xi Yu, felt a little guilty for always occupying his time.

The two walked downstairs side by side, and Liu Xu said, "If you have urgent matters, you can go first, I’m fully staffed here, so don’t worry."

Xi Yu raised an eyebrow, "Using me and tossing me aside? I thought after seeing other places, Boss Liu would treat me to a meal."

Liu Xu almost choked on his saliva.

Does this person even know how startling his words are!

"Boss Liu wouldn’t be reluctant to spend some silver, would he?"

Liu Xu awkwardly smiled, "The miracle doctor is overthinking."

Since his reputation spread, many people referred to him as the miracle doctor upon meeting him.

He didn’t think much of it before, but now it sounded awkward.

"Don’t flatter me."

Xi Yu said this.

Liu Xu sincerely said, "You’re indeed amazing; that’s praise, not flattery."

Everyone loves to hear compliments, and Xi Yu’s mouth involuntarily curled up.

Fearing Liu Xu would think he was arrogant, he quickly added humbly, "Learning is limitless, and I’m just at the beginning. When I truly can cure all diseases, then you can call me a miracle doctor and I’ll respond." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Liu Xu said, "To cure everything, that would mean you’re a deity. No need to push yourself too hard."

Although Xi Yu appeared laid-back, he came from a family of medicine, influenced by family heritage, and he was very serious about studying medical theories.

He firmly believed that learning is limitless, no matter how skilled he became, there were illnesses he was not good at or could not handle.

To persist in what he believed in, he was willing to sacrifice many things.

Including time and stamina.

That’s why he’s stayed in Yanzhou for such a long time, just to find the herbs he desired.

Xi Yu himself, including his elders, demanded progress.

It was the first time someone told him not to push too hard.

He couldn’t help but laugh aloud.

Xi Yu joked, "Boss Liu’s idea is a bit risky. If I don’t progress, I might lose my skills someday; then how would I support my family?"

Liu Xu’s attention was only on the latter part, with a puzzled look, "I haven’t heard you’ve married..."

Xi Yu felt as though he had been stabbed in the heart.

He and Xie Yunzhen were of similar age, yet neither is married, which is rather unusual.

If not for him rarely being home, his elders might drown him in spit.

He said gloomily, "I haven’t married yet, but that doesn’t mean I won’t ever marry."

This thought coincided with Liu Xu’s.

She was currently well-off. If she finds a handsome young man and he’s of good character, she’d consider marriage.

"Xi Yu, you’re still young, no need to rush."

It was the first time Xi Yu heard someone describe him as young.

However, upon reflection, compared to Liu Xu, he indeed was considered young.

"What about you? Are you planning to never marry, just to earn money for Lan Ci?"

Liu Xu clicked her tongue, "If others heard what you said, they’d think Lan Ci is a leech. Marrying or earning money is my business. I met Lan Ci, and he provided shelter. We get along well, which is why we’re partners."

In this era, wherever you go, you need a road pass.

Moreover, it was unsafe for a woman alone.

Although the Lan family didn’t have good circumstances, they allowed her to peacefully get through the toughest years.

As long as Lan Ci doesn’t do anything outrageous, Liu Xu will treat him like a brother for life.

He needed monetary support, and within her ability, she would try to help him.

Afraid Xi Yu misunderstood and thought she had an unspeakable feeling for Lan Ci.

Liu Xu hurriedly added, "We regard each other as family, without any romantic ideas."

Seeing her anxiety, Xi Yu dared not tease her anymore.

After all, this matter involves Yun Ling, and it can’t be joked about.

With a fist to his lips, he coughed lightly.

"Let’s go, let’s take a look at the west side of the city, there are many businesses there."

His willingness to accompany her indicated there were no urgent matters, so Liu Xu didn’t decline further.

She sent someone back to the General Mansion to relay they wouldn’t return for lunch.

Once the business was done, she would take Xi Yu to the restaurant for a meal.

Due to gender differences, Liu Xu and Xi Yu couldn’t ride in the same carriage, so they had to travel separately.

Out of courtesy, Xi Yu watched Liu Xu board the carriage first.

Suddenly, a skinny and small person darted out and snatched the pouch from Xi Yu’s waist.

Xi Yu had traveled far and wide, having encountered countless dangers, including many experiences of being robbed.

In the past, he either traveled with guards or used his own skills to save himself.

This time the incident occurred suddenly, leaving him momentarily stunned.

Liu Xu hadn’t boarded the carriage yet, so she naturally witnessed Xi Yu being robbed.

Without a second thought, she chased after the thief.

To facilitate movement, she wore lightweight clothes and shoes.

Upon arriving in this time, Liu Xu understood the law of survival of the fittest.

To ensure her personal safety, not only did she not diet for her figure, but she also hired a martial artist when circumstances allowed to teach her martial arts.

These skills, when necessary, can save lives.

Although some people viewed it as fancy boxing.

But for Liu Xu, having some basic skills is far better than none.

Her sprint startled Xi Yu.

The thief was even more frightened.

Upon seeing the guards also giving chase, he was nervously sweating.

With many pedestrians on the road, the little thief was panicking, unable to run far.

Panic leads to mistakes, deciding to use the woman chasing him as a hostage to scare away the guards, he was suddenly kicked in the back and fell flat on the ground.

With Liu Xu stepping on his back, she angrily asked, "Daring to rob anyone’s silver, aren’t you afraid of dying young?"

To Liu Xu, Xi Yu’s silver was earned by saving lives, and should not be a target.

"Spare me, lady!"

Saying this, he raised the stolen pouch high, "Returning it to you, I was wrong; I won’t dare again!"

The guards surrounded them.

Seeing this, they exchanged glances, thinking that Boss Liu was so fierce they were almost unnecessary...

Liu Xu didn’t let the thief off and signaled the guards to retrieve the pouch from the thief’s hand.

"Even if you have a great hardship today, lady will make sure you see the authorities!"

Xi Yu panted as he caught up, seeing Liu Xu’s dominant posture, his mouth twitched.

This Liu Xu, truly isn’t an ordinary person...
