121: I come from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners.

Ye Wuhuan and Bai Junchen both came from wealthy families. Unlike ordinary people, they had encountered magical artifacts. For example, Ye Wuhuan himself had an amulet obtained from the Esoteric Sect in Tibet.

One must know that even for top-tier powerful families like the Ye family, getting a genuine magical artifact was not an easy task. Back then, the Ye Family Head had gone to great lengths and paid a huge price to obtain a few amulets for his younger generation, finally managing to invite a master from the Esoteric Sect to make several amulets for his descendants as he wished.

"Brother Qin, are you alright?"

While everyone was still in shock, Ren Tianxing was the first to react. He saw Qin Shou being repelled by the force of his own punch, his face a little pale, and couldn't help but ask with concern.

"It's nothing!"

Qin Shou waved his hand casually, indicating that he was fine.

Seeing this, Ren Tianxing became even more certain of the bronze plaque's extraordinary nature. He clasped his fists solemnly towards Qin Shou and said, "Brother Qin, this gift you've given is truly too precious. I thank you on behalf of my little sister. Originally, I had planned to ask my master for a protective magical artifact after learning that my sister was assassinated some time ago, but now it seems I don't need to."

"Big Brother, what exactly is this thing? And what was that golden light just now?"

Ren Jing was not like her Big Brother. She had been trained as a future political successor by her family since childhood, and had little exposure to mysterious things like magical artifacts, so she was a bit confused at the moment.

Ren Tianxing looked happy and patiently explained to Ren Jing, "Little sister, you don't know, but what Brother Qin gave you is no ordinary gift; it's a protective magical artifact from the Ancient Era. That golden light just now was automatically generated by this magical artifact to protect me. With it, you won't have to worry about anyone secretly trying to harm you in the future."

"So that's how it is!"

After hearing her Big Brother's explanation, Ren Jing suddenly understood. She nodded thoughtfully, feeling secretly ashamed. She had misunderstood Qin Shou just now; he had not only put thought into her birthday gift but also invested a great deal.

Such a protective magical artifact, capable of saving one's life at a crucial moment, was simply a priceless treasure. Thinking of this, a hint of sweetness welled up in Ren Jing's heart. She thought, "He still cares about me. It seems he's not just interested in my body, but also my heart."

However, what puzzled Ren Jing was Qin Shou's background. Ren Jing had investigated him; his parents were migrant workers, very ordinary, so how could he possess such a rare treasure?

"But Brother Qin, such magical artifacts from the Ancient Era are usually only found in hidden sects with rich historical foundations. Where did you get it, Brother Qin?"

Just as Ren Jing was feeling puzzled, Ren Tianxing couldn't help but ask. After all, he was a Dragon Tiger Mountain disciple and knew much more about magical artifacts than ordinary people, so he was naturally more curious about the origin of Qin Shou's bronze plaque.

"Heh heh, I bet this kid probably got it from grave robbing in an ancient tomb. Otherwise, how could he possess such a rare treasure from the Ancient Era?"

No sooner had Ren Tianxing finished speaking, and before Qin Shou could even reply, Bai Junchen jumped out again, speaking sarcastically. He was determined to oppose Qin Shou and seized every opportunity to mock him.

It was only because Xu Sishi had looked at Qin Shou with new eyes, which made Bai Junchen extremely displeased. In his opinion, his marriage with Xu Sishi was decided by their elders; Xu Sishi was already his fiancée, and he would never allow any other man to touch her.

"It's a family heirloom. It's always been at home, and for Jingjing's birthday this time, I didn't have anything presentable, so I specifically dug this thing out from home. I didn't even know if this thing was valuable or not, so I specifically asked Brother Quan to appraise it. Brother Quan said this item of mine was very authentic and worth a lot of money, even wanting to buy it, so I thought giving this thing to Jingjing shouldn't be too shabby."

Qin Shou activated his Skill, making things up while secretly thinking, "You stupid idiot, you actually guessed right. I did indeed get it from grave robbing, but you don't have any evidence, so what can you do to me?"

"Family heirloom!"

Ren Tianxing couldn't help but frown upon hearing this. Although Qin Shou's Skill was powerful enough to deceive most of the people present, it wasn't foolproof. An ancient magical artifact would have at least tens of thousands of years of history. Whose ancestors could pass down an item for tens of thousands of years?

"Heh heh, I think you're just talking nonsense. An ancient magical artifact has at least ten thousand years of history. Could your ancestors be the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors? Can a magical artifact be passed down for so many generations?"

Sure enough, Ren Tianxing was puzzled, and Ye Wuhuan, being knowledgeable, naturally heard the flaw in Qin Shou's words and immediately ridiculed him.

Qin Shou, however, looked unconcerned, shrugging his shoulders and saying carelessly, "Who said it had to be passed down continuously? Couldn't my ancestors have obtained this item by chance and then it was passed down to my generation?"

"Heh heh, then tell me, how exactly did your ancestors get this treasure? Could it also have been from grave robbing? Is your family a lineage of grave robbers?" Ye Wuhuan sneered, continuing to press, his tone aggressive.

"Oh! This item of my ancestors was also given to them by someone else."

Qin Shou once again activated his Skill, starting to fabricate a story: "The reason is that my ancestor's medical Skills were extraordinary; he once saved the life of an important official. That person gave this item to my ancestor to thank him."

However, Qin Shou's story this time was too clichéd, exactly like those common TV drama plots. Everyone present felt a sense of déjà vu upon hearing it, and many began to have doubts.

"Hahaha, The one surnamed Qin, are you writing a cheesy novel here? Such a clichéd plot, you can't even make up a decent story. You say your ancestors had excellent medical Skills, so how did they get lost by your generation? Why aren't you a doctor?"

Ye Wuhuan laughed heartily, feeling that he had caught Qin Shou's weakness. Today, he could finally expose Qin Shou's lies completely and make him lose face in front of Ren Jing.

"Big Brother Qin, why are you here!"

However, what Ye Wuhuan never expected was that as soon as he finished speaking, a beautiful figure suddenly emerged from the crowd and walked towards Qin Shou with a radiant smile.

The person who arrived was none other than Chu Xiaoxiao, who had been completely impressed by Qin Shou's "medical Skills" yesterday.

Qin Shou was also quite surprised to see Chu Xiaoxiao suddenly appear, not expecting such a coincidence. But on second thought, it was quite normal for Chu Xiaoxiao, as a young talent in the City medical field, to be invited to Ren Jing's birthday banquet.

Chu Xiaoxiao's appearance immediately attracted the attention of all the gentlemen present, each of them envious of Qin Shou, wondering how every beautiful woman seemed to be connected to this guy. What was his background? His luck with women was too strong!

"It's Chu Xiaoxiao, she's the most famous doctor in the City, Chu Xiaoxiao."
