Liu Qingxia quickly entered Liu Honggang's courtyard.

The courtyard was very cozy, and in the pavilion in the distance, two elders of the Liu family were leisurely playing chess.

As for Liu Honggang, he was constantly busy cultivating.

Seeing Liu Honggang practicing martial arts in the courtyard, Liu Qingxia's eyes reddened, and she immediately ran over, calling out, "Grandpa! Grandpa, you're awake!"

Liu Honggang looked up and saw that Liu Qingxia was also teary-eyed, so he quickly went over to her.

The grandfather and granddaughter embraced, and Liu Honggang sighed deeply, saying, "Xia'er, you've really gone through a lot. You have to manage our Liu family's mines and worry about your grandfather's health. You've only just returned to the Liu residence and come to your grandfather's place. It's really troubled for you. Look at the dust on your hair, you've worked so hard, child."

Liu Qingxia quickly said, "That's only right. Grandpa, you've just woken up, so please don't overexert yourself."

As she said this, Liu Qingxia felt a little ashamed.

After all, she hadn't really thought of visiting her grandfather after arriving at the Liu residence. If it weren't for needing to retrieve spirit stones for Chen Yang, she would have already taken a bath.

Liu Honggang was very touched, after all, his granddaughter hadn't even had time to pack her things before coming to visit him.

Previously, Liu Honggang did not particularly like Liu Qingxia, mainly because Liu Qingxia was always quiet, had a rather indifferent attitude in the family, and was immersed in her cultivation all day long.

Liu Honggang's favorite is, of course, his eldest granddaughter, Liu Zhichun.

But at the last banquet, Liu Honggang was really angered by Liu Zhichun.

Upon seeing Liu Qingxia again, Liu Honggang suddenly realized that his second granddaughter was better.

Thinking of this, Liu Honggang's mind started working. He looked Liu Qingxia over and became more and more satisfied. Although Liu Qingxia's strength was slightly weaker than Liu Zhichun's, she was still a rare and monstrous genius.

Although Liu Qingxia was not very talkative and didn't have much experience in running a business, she developed these skills very quickly.

Liu Honggang began, "Qingxia, about your eldest sister..."

At this point, Liu Honggang couldn't help but sigh.

Liu Qingxia quickly comforted him, "Grandpa, don't be too sad. My eldest sister had her reasons for doing that."

Liu Honggang waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about her anymore. Let her be. I can't control her anyway."

Liu Qingxia immediately offered two more words of comfort.

However, neither of them knew that what they were saying was completely irrelevant.

What Liu Honggang was referring to was Liu Zhichun's previous public humiliation at the banquet, his open departure with Chen Yang's hand, and his disruptive behavior at the banquet, which brought shame to the Liu family.

Liu Qingxia thought that Liu Honggang was referring to her eldest sister's secret departure from the Liu family mansion to cultivate in Zhongzhou.

Liu Honggang waved his hand, unwilling to mention Liu Zhichun again. He smiled at Liu Qingxia and said, "Qingxia, now that your eldest sister and third sister are unreliable, you'll have to work harder. Go back and pack up quickly. Tonight, our whole clan will have dinner together to discuss some important matters."

Liu Qingxia nodded and said, "Okay, Grandpa. I'll go back now. Please remember to get plenty of rest and take care of yourself."

Liu Qingxia got up and left quickly.

Liu Honggang nodded with a smile, stroking his goatee.

The anger and frustration he had previously felt from being angered by Liu Zhichun has now subsided considerably.

He smiled, his eyes narrowed, then spoke towards a pavilion not far away: "What do you two think of Qingxia?"

Inside the pavilion, two even older men were playing chess.

They were all elders of the Liu family with high seniority. Although their strength was not as great as Liu Honggang's, their seniority and age were above Liu Honggang's, making them Liu Honggang's cousins.

The two old men laughed, and one of them stood up and said, "What? Are you planning to pass the position of family head to Liu Qingxia?"

Liu Honggang sighed and said, "Among the younger generation of our Liu family, who can compare to these three granddaughters? Originally, Zhichun was indeed the best successor, but you all saw her performance. She really infuriated me because of a blind man. As for the youngest, Liu Nianqiu, although she is more talented, she is still a child at heart, always laughing and joking, and doing things without a clear purpose. She is definitely not suitable to be the head of the family. Now it seems that only my second granddaughter is the most suitable."

Another old man said, "Patriarch, you're not that old, why are you in such a hurry to find an heir?"

Liu Honggang waved his hand and sighed, "This poisoning incident has made me realize that family affairs absolutely cannot be handled by just me. Establishing an heir as soon as possible will help our family grow and prosper. Especially now that our Liu family is the only major family in the entire Qingzhou City, we must be even more cautious in managing the family."

"Alright, you two go and prepare for tonight's banquet. We'll then discuss having Liu Qingxia take over as head of the family. In addition, we should also choose a good husband for her, preferably someone who can assist her in handling family affairs, so that Qingxia has enough time to cultivate. You two should also look for suitable candidates."

The two elders immediately stood up, laughing heartily, and went to make arrangements for these matters.

Liu Qingxia didn't understand the meaning of her grandfather's words. She returned to her boudoir with light steps, and with a wave of her hand, placed 1400 spirit stones in front of Chen Yang.

Liu Qingxia couldn't help but stick out her tongue and whispered, "Don't tell anyone, I brought all the spirit stones in the family this time, and I didn't keep a single one. If Grandpa asks about it later, I'll have to think of a way to cover it up."

Chen Yang looked at the spirit stones on the table, deeply moved. He smiled at Liu Qingxia and said, "Thank you so much, my wife. I will always remember this kindness."

After Chen Yang finished speaking, he immediately grabbed the spirit stones in his hand.

Liu Qingxia didn't care what Chen Yang wanted so many spirit stones for; she simply couldn't stand the dust and dirt on her body anymore.

Liu Qingxia immediately prepared two large buckets of clean water for herself.

They were placed on the left and right sides in the boudoir.

After closing the doors and windows and drawing the curtains, she naturally took off her clothes and went into the wooden tub to bathe, soap up, and wash her hair.

Chen Yang sat by the window and, while his wife was taking a shower, he immediately began to upgrade his "Concealing Breath Detection Technique".

[Ding! 500 spirit stones have been spent; the "Concealing Breath Detection Technique" has been upgraded to the minor completion stage!]

Chen Yang felt his mind clear up, and his five senses became much sharper, especially his perception of aura, which instantly became stronger.

Chen Yang's eyes lit up!

In the beginner stage of "Concealing Breath Detection Technique", one can only conceal one's aura, making it impossible for others to judge one's strength; but now that one has entered the minor mastery stage, one can not only perfectly conceal one's aura, but also detect the opponent's cultivation technique, the strength of their aura, the amount of their spiritual power, and even their breathing fluctuations.

Simply put, reaching the minor mastery stage is like having a CT scanner inside your body, allowing you to accurately perceive all the changes in your opponent!

Chen Yang swallowed hard. Those five hundred spirit stones were definitely worth it! Without hesitation, he immediately continued to level up.

[Ding! Your "Concealing Breath Detection Technique" has reached the Great Perfection stage, consuming 1000 spirit stones!]

The next moment, Chen Yang's mind cleared up, and his application of the "Concealing Breath Detection Technique" was improved once again!

This time, Chen Yang was not only able to conceal his aura and detect changes in the other party's information, but more importantly, he could also perfectly conceal his aura while moving!

In other words, if it is nighttime, one can easily ambush the other party without being detected; one can effectively shield oneself from the other party's spiritual detection.

At the same time, one can easily explore the surrounding environment. Even in the darkness and fog, one can accurately perceive the other party's location, movement trajectory, intentions, number of people, and the strength of each person!

Chen Yang smiled; as expected, the money wasn't wasted! He immediately chose to upgrade again.

[Consuming 2000 spirit stones, your "Concealing Breath Detection Technique" has been upgraded to the peak level!]

Chen Yang sat there, and the next moment, he suddenly had an epiphany!

This time, the "Concealing Breath Detection Technique" has been upgraded to its peak. It can not only detect the location and movement trajectory of the opponent, but also accurately know the opponent's aura, strength, and spiritual power.

The key point is that I can also perfectly sense the other party's spiritual energy flow!

I can easily detect what techniques the opponent uses, what effects they have, including the various weapons and spiritual artifacts they use, the strength of their aura fluctuations, and the changes in their spiritual energy effects!

Chen Yang clenched his fist excitedly. Sure enough, the peak level of the technique was truly powerful!

This is equivalent to when you are fighting a major battle with your opponent, no matter how hard they try to hide it, they can't conceal their trump card! You can easily sense changes in their weapons and the variations in their techniques!

In this world, besides cultivation techniques, there are many powerful magical artifacts and spiritual treasures. If you are not careful, you may be defeated by the weak.

With this "Concealing Breath Detection Technique," Chen Yang can anticipate his enemy's moves and remain invincible!

Chen Yang couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Inside the wooden tub, Liu Qingxia couldn't help but mutter, "Chen Yang, what are you grinning about? You startled me!"

Chen Yang turned around and looked at Liu Qingxia, who was taking a bath. At this moment, Chen Yang could see everything clearly and meticulously. All of Liu Qingxia's secrets were in his eyes.
