Urban Invincible Medical Divine-Chapter 717 - 361: Malicious Intentions_4

"Originally, the Human Sect thought she wouldn’t live long, but later, an old lady in a cheongsam came and took her away. After that, she didn’t understand how she survived, living with that old lady in a valley not far from the Miao village."

"Later, when the Human Sect went hunting and gathering herbs, they sometimes saw her, but they all said that she never smiled, possibly because she still had some physical ailments."

Liu Wentian was originally somewhat displeased with Long Yuanyang since that woman was too ostentatious and started by threatening him, warning that if he lied to her, she would kill him.

However, he felt some sympathy at this time.

Born only to lose her mother immediately after, then discarded by her biological father, and after that, endured endless pain, refined into a Soul-Exiting Poison Physique.

With such experiences, it was already good that she hadn’t turned into a monster, let alone be cheerful.

After Liu Qinglian finished speaking, Little Mushroom seemed immersed in sadness, her eyes slightly red, remaining silent.

This girl really is adorably kind-hearted. Liu Wentian’s lips curved up, his face revealing a smile.

He glanced at her basket and saw various animal wooden carvings, some semi-finished products, and a small knife.

"Did you carve these wooden figures yourself and then sell them?" Liu Wentian asked curiously as he picked up a small rabbit wooden carving.

Hearing Liu Wentian’s words, Liu Qinglian’s face showed a proud expression, and she nodded,

"Yes, I carved these myself, and many people like them. I can earn some tuition fees by selling these wooden carvings, which helps alleviate some of the burden on my grandfather."

"You’re still studying?" Liu Wentian asked, surprised, thinking she would just live her life in the Miao village, never leaving.

Liu Qinglian, annoyed, said, "What do you mean? Why can’t I go to school! Hmph! You Han people can be really annoying sometimes, always acting like us ethnic minorities are forever backward. In a short while, I will be going to the capital to attend university! Hmph! I’m this province’s top scholar in liberal arts this year!"

Okay, Liu Wentian was genuinely taken aback.

Not only was this girl studying, but she was also the top liberal arts student in the province. Liu Wentian, who had never attended college, had even dared to question her, which was really a slap in the face!

"Hehe, misunderstanding, I didn’t mean that!! Wow, I didn’t expect you to be such a talented girl!" Liu Wentian said, a bit awkwardly.

He reached into the girl’s basket, picked up the carving knife and a palm-sized block of wood yet to be carved, and smiled, "Okay, you’re great at studying, but when it comes to carving, you really can’t compare to me."

Being outdone by a little girl wasn’t his style; he had to regain some face, showing the bookworm the prowess of a book-dodger!

Liu Qinglian, however, curled her lips, her little nose wrinkling slightly, and let out a light "hmph" noise, her demeanor utterly disdainful.

Wood carving wasn’t something an ordinary person could master; she had learned from her grandfather for many years and had only just managed to grasp the basics.

And this guy claiming he could do it too? Liu Qinglian hardly believed it.

In this day and age, there were hardly any young people who knew how to carve.

"Since you say I can’t match you, why don’t you carve a small rabbit and show me!" Liu Qinglian challenged with a snort.

Liu Wentian smiled, did not reply, and started moving his knife; the shape of the wood began to change, and wood shavings fell continuously.

Liu Qinglian watched Liu Wentian’s movements, smooth and fluid like flowing clouds, and was taken aback.

She knew that Liu Wentian was strong, but carving was not just about strength; without knowing the technique, using strength improperly would only result in wasted effort, more tiring and fruitless.

However, Liu Wentian’s current manner was exactly that of an experienced carver.

Could it be he really knew how to carve? Liu Qinglian began to doubt.

However, she then hastily corrected him, "Wrong, wrong, that’s not how you carve a rabbit! At the top, you can’t cut off that part; that’s where the ears are, and at the back, you need to leave some space for the tail."

Liu Wentian just smiled and ignored her.

As the conversation went on, Liu Qinglian’s voice gradually went down; she finally realized Liu Wentian was not carving a rabbit, but something else.

And when the wooden carving in Liu Wentian’s hands took shape, Liu Qinglian was completely stunned.

It was a girl dressed in Miao ethnic clothing, very beautiful, giving a very fresh feeling.

Her mouth was open as if whispering something, a smile on her face, but her eyes filled with anxiety and concern, making her look exceptionally enchanting, like a naive, kind-hearted girl.

"You, you’re carving me?" Liu Qinglian said, somewhat incredulous.

The one Liu Wentian was carving was indeed her, the way she looked when she called him Brother De and asked him to play along in acting!

"Hehe, how do you like my carving? Consider it a gift for your kind help today." Liu Wentian smiled as he handed over the finished wooden carving to Liu Qinglian.

Although he didn’t actually need the girl’s kind help that day, she had indeed been well-intentioned.

Liu Qinglian received it, her face full of disbelief.

It’s crucial to understand that carving people is much more difficult than animals, requiring not just the physical appearance but also capturing the spirit; Liu Wentian’s carving was lifelike, vibrant, a perfect replica of her!!
