Supporting Jiang Wangchuan, Jiang Yuan and the others originally wanted to ask Mu Jinyu why Jiang Wangchuan had previously coughed up a mouthful of black blood. Could it have affected the elder's health?
However, when they saw the scene before them, they were all shocked.
How could so many bizarre insects suddenly appear in that basin of alcohol?!
Could it be... those were the sa insects that ca out with Jiang Wangchuan's black blood?
This thought flashed through the minds of Jiang Yuan and the others, and they instantly felt a chill down their spines, their scalps tingling.
"Sizzle sizzle!!"
The flas continued to burn, and the Gu insects in the iron basin that were frantically writhing and struggling began to slowly cease their movents, one after another, and were eventually burnt to black ashes!
"Hiss!"
After the alcohol had completely burned out, the Gu insects inside the basin were also thoroughly exterminated, leaving behind only so dark brown granular powder.
This was it.
The breath that the Jiang Family mbers were holding was also finally released.
Jiang Yuan looked up at Mu Jinyu, who now had beads of sweat on his forehead, his face changing colors several tis before he couldn't help but ask, "This... Doctor Mu, what exactly is going on here? Those insects just now, how did they appear, could it really be my father..."
Expelling these Gu insects had consud a lot of True Qi from Mu Jinyu, and his complexion had also turned a shade paler. Hearing Jiang Yuan's words, he nodded and said, "Yes, your guess is correct. Those insects were forced out from your father's body by , and that mouthful of black blood earlier was these insects!"
When Jiang Wangchuan heard Mu Jinyu's words, his complexion, which had just gained so color, turned pale again out of fright.
The color also drained from Jiang Yuan's face, and he opened his mouth in shock and disbelief, "But...but I have consulted so many doctors before, and with their most advanced instrunts, none could detect these insects in my father's body!
Mu Jinyu said, "Of course they couldn't detect them, these insects were in your father's body just like blood cells, how could they possibly detect them? There is hardly anyone in this world besides who could detect them, probably just a handful of people!"
Mu Jinyu quickly counted; counting himself as one, the caster of the Gu as another, plus those old demons...
Indeed, there were only a handful of people who could discover the Gu insects inside Jiang Wangchuan's body!
Shen Changchun, who had been observing from the side, finally ca to a realization after hearing Mu Jinyu's explanation, "No wonder those old fellows couldn't find out what exactly was wrong with Old Jiang. So, it was like this all along. Divine Doctor, you truly are miraculous!"
After listening to Mu Jinyu's explanation and Shen Changchun's exclamation of admiration, Jiang Yuan and the others exchanged glances, feeling secretly fortunate. This update ıs available on novᴇlfire
It was indeed very fortunate. If they hadn't asked i Yinxue to invite Mu Jinyu over, and if they hadn't made a prompt decision to let him treat the old master, they might have waited until the old master was killed by the Gu insects without ever knowing what was happening!
Jiang Yuan's face looked troubled, not because of Mu Jinyu, but because of the strange insects that appeared unexpectedly inside the elder's body. He eagerly asked, "Divine Doctor, please check the elder's body again carefully, see if there are any more of these strange insects..."
Jiang Wangchuan, who they were supporting, even though he felt much better, was also afraid that the strange insects hadn't been completely eradicated and looked eagerly at Mu Jinyu when he heard the words.
Mu Jinyu shook his head and said, "There are no more, I have forced out all of the Gu insects from the elder's body."
"Gu insects?" Shen Changchun, standing on the side, heard Mu Jinyu's words and said thoughtfully, "So those strange insects were Gu insects!"
"Gu insects?!" Jiang Yuan and the others, upon hearing this, also had their expressions turn ugly.
Originally, they thought that the old man had eaten sothing bad, which led to those strange insects in his body, but from what Mu Jinyu implied, it seed he had been poisoned with Gu!
Could this be the doing of a nesis of the Jiang Family?!
While they were pondering this.
i Yinxue re-entered the room, holding a freshly washed and wrung out towel. She tiptoed to Mu Jinyu's side and began to dab the sweat from his forehead.
"Hm?!"
Mu Jinyu was caught off guard by i Yinxue's actions, but when he realized it was her, he felt a bit uncomfortable.
i Yinxue was a stunningly beautiful woman with a graceful deanor, and to a certain extent, Wen Rou and Gu Xiyan couldn't compare to her. She completely overshadowed them with her unparalleled charm, making all n bow before her beauty!
But he always felt that i Yinxue was like a blood-stained rose with thorns—gorgeous yet extrely dangerous, which made him reluctant to have too much contact with her.
With an awkward expression, Mu Jinyu reached for the towel in i Yinxue's hand and said, "I can do it myself."
"It's fine." i Yinxue refused, disregarding the large hand that Mu Jinyu laid on hers in an attempt to snatch the towel, and continued to wipe the sweat from Mu Jinyu's forehead, "You've been working hard."
Watching i Yinxue's movents and feeling the touch of her hand beneath his palm, Mu Jinyu eventually caved and withdrew his hand, allowing i Yinxue to continue wiping his sweat.
i Yinxue, noticing his surrender, slightly curved her lips in a small triumph.
Shen Changchun, standing to the side, observed their intimate interaction, and it sparked an idea. He then whispered to his granddaughter, "Shuyao, pay attention and learn from this. If you can win Doctor Mu's favor, perhaps you'll have a chance to beco his wife."
"Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about?!"
Shen Shuyao, already feeling sowhat uncomfortable witnessing the interaction between i Yinxue and Mu Jinyu, turned bright red at her grandfather's shaless suggestion. Then she lifted her foot and gently stomped on the toe of Shen Changchun's shoe!
"Hey, now you're stepping on ! Grandpa is only thinking of your best interest; otherwise, you'll regret it with nowhere to turn!" Shen Changchun said with laughter.
Shen Shuyao ignored him, but then sothing ca to mind, and she looked at Shen Changchun strangely, asking, "Eh? Didn't you want to beco his apprentice last ti? How co you've changed your mind today and want to beco... his wife?"
Shen Shuyao's last three words were as soft as a mosquito's hum, barely audible.
Although Shen Changchun didn't hear her clearly, he roughly guessed what she ant and chuckled softly, "The position of an apprentice isn't as high as a master's wife. If it's possible, you should be his wife, the wife of others' master—that is what it ans to reach the peak of life!"
Patting Shen Shuyao's shoulder earnestly, Shen Changchun said, "That's the best choice. Becoming an apprentice is rely a reluctant alternative. Go for it, my dear granddaughter! Grandpa believes in you, go and win him over to be our grandson-in-law."
He thought to himself, if his granddaughter married Mu Jinyu, then he would have to call him Grandpa as well, and when he sought dical advice from him, he couldn't dismiss him so easily.
Hehe...
"What are you rambling on about, you old rogue? I'm not talking to you anymore!"
Shen Shuyao, her face flushing redder and redder after hearing Shen Changchun's words, gave him a disdainful glance and decided she no longer wanted to speak with him.
