Chapter 1453: Chapter 435: [Favor Given, Favor Received] (3)

Aunt Yun’s expression tightened at that moment, knowing that her little thoughts could not escape the notice of someone as astute as Chu Keqing.

Fortunately, Chu Keqing slowly said, “The Liu Family has shown us great kindness, and these medicines are our way of expressing gratitude. As for who gets to drink them, Aunt Yun, you can decide for yourself.

If you drink just one bowl, it won’t harm your body, but the efficacy will be reduced by half. That means the effect of restoring your body’s functions or prolonging your life will also be only half.

Just think it through on your own.”

Then Chu Keqing quietly left.

At this moment, Aunt Yun brought out the remaining half bucket of herbal medicine, fixed her gaze on Ah Ruo, and made her drink it in front of her, leaving not a drop.

“The Heavenly Repair Pill is not something rare, you can easily give her another portion, it doesn’t matter.”

On the phone, after hearing about this matter from Chu Keqing, Chen Yan couldn’t help but sigh, “That Aunt Yun is also scheming for her own daughter. It’s not surprising, as a mother.”

Holding the phone, Chu Keqing listened to Chen Yan and smiled slightly, saying gently, “Chen Yan, do you think that I am a bit too stingy, perhaps lacking in empathy?”

“… Not really,” Chen Yan replied honestly, “I believe that you certainly have your own considerations and intentions in doing things.”

Chu Keqing expressed satisfaction with this answer, and her eyes became much more composed. She smiled and said, “Chen Yan, have you ever thought that the Liu Family has reached the pinnacle of wealth, benefiting from the era’s prosperity, rising with the wind, sitting on such vast Jia Ye and wealth.

For people like that, wealth is no longer the most important thing.

Life is what they value the most.”

“I understand. So in ancient times, when emperors reached the peak of power, they would obsessively pursue those illusory paths to longevity,” Chen Yan responded.

“Hence, the Heavenly Repair Pill may seem trivial to us, a mere trifling gesture. But to the Liu Family, it is the Immortal Pill they would spare no expense to obtain.

Chen Yan, you don’t deal with these powerful people, so there are some things you may not have thought through.

Truly precious things, truly scarce resources, cannot be given lightly!

If you give it casually, then the beneficiary, even if this thing was originally of utmost importance to them, might think that it doesn’t count as a significant favor because you gave it so casually!”

After pausing, Chu Keqing continued, “Last time you helped the Liu Family elder extend his life, saving the Liu Family’s fate and averting a huge crisis. The Liu Family thanked profusely with heavy rewards, so that’s considered even.

This time, the Liu Family lent me two US dollars for turnover, so I gave them two doses of the Heavenly Repair Pill medicine.

Any more wouldn’t be me being stingy but rather shouldn’t be given.

A portion of cause, a portion of effect.”

Chen Yan was silent, but this silence was not in opposition; it was in agreement.

“To ordinary people, anything that prolongs life is the ultimate treasure! Ultimate treasures, therefore, cannot be given too casually.

Otherwise, just talking about human relations, or simply because this thing happens to be in our possession…

Then, if Liu Family’s Miss Ah Ruo receives it, should we give it to other children of the Liu Family?

If the Liu Family has other close relatives or friends, and they encounter serious illness or near the end of life, should we give it?

Grace should not be granted in this haphazard manner.”

Chen Yan agreed with Chu Keqing’s statement.

It’s like, when a person is about to die from hunger, barely hanging on, someone gives them a bowl of rice.

To the one giving the rice, it might just be a bowl of rice; perhaps they have a whole barrel of rice at home and don’t lack this one bowl.

But for the recipient, it isn’t just a bowl of rice; it’s a life!

However, if the benefactor’s attitude is that this is just a bowl of rice.

Over time, the recipient might genuinely assume, I don’t owe you a life; it’s merely a small task with a bowl of rice for you.

Human nature is complex.

Some remember favors, some forget; hence Chu Keqing must guard against potential issues, not wanting to challenge human nature.

Chen Yan then also smiled, “Alright, since these matters are entrusted to you, you can handle them as you see fit.”

He then asked another question, “What are you doing now?”

Chu Keqing laughed, “I’m in the car, leaving the city center of Jinling Prefecture, heading to the airport.”

“Hmm? Just returned to Jinling Prefecture, and how come you’re going away again?”

Chu Keqing laughed again, looking at the highway outside the car window, “Going… to do a large charitable project.”

She didn’t wish to elaborate further, so Chen Yan didn’t ask more questions, knowing this woman has her own ideas.

“As for you, how is your cultivation progressing these days in the mountains… Celestial Human Realm… is your realm stable?”

Chen Yan thought for a moment, his tone very composed, “The realm is stable, but I’ve discovered some interesting things, sort of understanding some matters upon initially entering the Celestial Human Realm.

Hmm, I won’t detail these now; you’ll naturally know them in the future.

But these days you might not be able to contact me; I need to retreat and practice for a while. During the retreat, I won’t be answering calls, entering into meditation and divine travel, the time indefinite, maybe a few days, maybe longer.”

Upon hearing the words “divine travel,” Chu Keqing’s heart skipped a beat, then she reminded him with a few daily words of concern, before they ended the call.

Divine travel… Celestial Human Realm, already powerful to such a degree, capable of legendary divine travel?

Chu Keqing’s gaze turned misty for a moment, but soon a hint of determined light emerged.

Sooner or later, I can catch up to Chen Yan’s pace!

Hmm, this trip is for advancing my cultivation further!

Doing charity, Acting on Heaven’s Will!
