"No, what is this?"
Qin Chuan looked completely surprised.
Seeing this, Gu Yu glanced uneasily at the driver in the front seat, then leaned slightly towards Qin Chuan.
At the same time, she brought her face close to Qin Chuan's ear and whispered, in a voice only the two of them could hear, "As long as you can save Grandpa, I'm willing to spend... a night with you, I've never had a boyfriend, I... I'm still a virgin..."
"Stop, stop!"
Feeling a tickle in his ear, Qin Chuan quickly pulled away: "I didn't mean that, I was just shaking my head because I don't want you to interrupt me, I'm thinking of a way to save him."
Although he and Old Master Gu had only met in passing, and they weren't close, he didn't even know his full name.
But, in any case, Old Master Gu had taught him some moves and given him some guidance.
It was a kindness he wanted to repay.
Qin Chuan didn't like owing anyone. This time he considered it repaying Old Master Gu's kindness.
As for this girl, Gu Yu...
Indeed.
She was very beautiful, with a cold temperament, a curvaceous figure, like an unearthly fairy.
But Qin Chuan wasn't the kind of person who couldn't move his legs when he saw a woman.
Let alone someone who would take advantage of a young girl under the excuse of treatment.
Such things were beneath Qin Chuan.
After hearing Qin Chuan's words, Gu Yu then realized she had misunderstood him, and immediately blushed furiously.
"I'm... I'm sorry, I... I misunderstood." Gu Yu said with deep shame, wishing she could find a hole to hide in.
"It's alright."
Qin Chuan waved his hand, then continued to ponder the method of treatment.
Half an hour later, the commercial vehicle stopped at the entrance of Gu's Martial Arts Hall.
Gu Yu hurriedly got out, bringing Qin Chuan along, and rushed anxiously to the courtyard of the hall.
"Xiao Yu, at a time like this, where are you going? Your grandfather only has one breath left. Do you want him to die with regrets..."
Seeing Gu Yu, Jiang Shutong couldn't help but reprimand her.
As an old friend of Old Master Gu, he knew how much Old Master Gu valued his granddaughter Gu Yu.
If there was anything in the world that tied Old Master Gu, it would be this granddaughter.
However, at such a crucial moment, that girl Gu Yu actually abandoned her dying grandfather and ran off, it was simply unreasonable.
"Who is this...?"
But soon, he noticed a young man following behind Gu Yu.
Thinking of Old Master Gu's words earlier, he blurted out: "Your boyfriend?"
"No, no..."
Gu Yu involuntarily recalled the scene where she misunderstood Qin Chuan earlier, blushing as she hurriedly explained: "This is Qin Chuan, I brought him to treat Grandpa."
"Hmm???"
Jiang Shutong was stunned, eyes widening at Gu Yu, thinking he might have misheard: "Treat your grandfather? Him?"
Gu Yu nodded.
"Nonsense!"
Jiang Shutong's face instantly darkened: "If your grandfather's illness could still be treated, would I just stand by watching this happen?"
"Grandpa Jiang, believe me..."
Gu Yu just wanted to explain, but Jiang Shutong suddenly erupted in anger, "Stop! Young man, what are you trying to do? Stop right now!"
Jiang Shutong took quick strides to Qin Chuan, pulling him away from Old Master Gu.
"Hmm???"
Qin Chuan was bewildered: "No, why are you pulling me away? Do you have a grudge against the old man? Are you just waiting for him to die?"
Hearing this, Jiang Shutong was so angry he was blowing his beard and glaring: "Nonsense!"
"Then why are you stopping me from saving him?" Qin Chuan retorted.
"Old Gu is now only holding on by a thread, and if you remove the needles, you want him to die sooner." Jiang Shutong said furiously.
"Oh~"
Qin Chuan suddenly understood: "So you inserted these needles, didn't you? And the previous medicines for the old man, were also prescribed by you?"
"Nonsense! Old Gu and I have been friends for many years, of course..."
Jiang Shutong was about to explain when Qin Chuan raised his hand to interrupt, then looked at Gu Yu: "Consider whether you want to call the police, half of the old man's condition is due to eating the old man's medicine."
"Hmm???"
Jiang Shutong felt so infuriated he was boiling over.
"Young man, who are you? So young, yet so brash?" Jiang Shutong was beside himself with rage.
But Qin Chuan didn't want to listen to him, saving a life was important, any delay, and Old Master Gu might really pass away.
"Hold him back, don't let him disturb me."
Qin Chuan instructed Gu Yu, then turned and began removing the needles from Old Master Gu.
Seeing this, Jiang Shutong immediately approached, but was stopped by Gu Yu: "Grandpa Jiang, please don't interfere anymore."
"Xiao Yu, you'd rather trust this inexperienced young man than your Grandpa Jiang?" Jiang Shutong was incredulous.
Gu Yu pressed her lips together.
In Jiangcheng's traditional Chinese medicine community, Jiang Shutong had high prestige and was known as Divine Doctor Jiang.
His medical skills were second to none in Jiangcheng.
And he was also a close friend of Old Master Gu, who had treated him for years and knew his physical condition well.
But now, even he was at a loss.
Thus, Gu Yu could only take the risk of letting Qin Chuan try: "Grandpa Jiang, I will bear all the consequences!"
"You!"
Jiang Shutong stomped in frustration: "You're going to infuriate me to death!"
Seeing Gu Yu stubbornly sticking to her path, Jiang Shutong could do nothing, so he could only focus back on Old Master Gu.
By this time, Qin Chuan had removed all the needles from Old Master Gu's body.
When the last needle was pulled out, Old Master Gu's body started convulsing: "Cough, cough, cough..."
The intense reaction caused Gu Yu's heart to clench tightly, as if it were being ground by a meat grinder.
"Just pull them out, in less than five minutes, Old Gu will go down to meet King Yama."
Jiang Shutong was furious at her lack of awareness: "Your grandfather worked hard for this martial arts hall for most of his life, can't you let him go peacefully? Must you torment him?"
By this time, Gu Yu had already become a tearful mess, every cough from her grandfather was like a heavy hammer, brutally crushing her heart.
Her heart wavered.
If Qin Chuan couldn't save her grandfather, wouldn't he suffer due to her momentary impulsiveness?
Gu Yu felt very guilty, but given the situation, she could only place all her hopes on Qin Chuan.
Sigh!
Qin Chuan took a deep breath, focused his mind! Held his breath! His attention was highly concentrated!
Then, from the needles he had just removed, he pulled out nine.
The next moment, the Nine Dragon Creation Skill began to operate frantically, all of his spiritual power gathered on the fingers holding the needles.
The originally ordinary needles suddenly turned crimson in his hand, like red-hot iron.
Jiang Shutong watched, his gaze instantly sharpening.
But even before he could get a clear look, the needles in Qin Chuan's hand scattered like flowers in the sky, landing on Old Master Gu's body.
Seven needles landed on the upper body, while the remaining two landed on the top of the head.
All needles penetrated one inch deep, without exception.
The control over the depth of needle insertion was extremely precise.
And the technique of needle placement was extraordinary.
Jiang Shutong couldn't help but stand on tiptoe to glance at the points where Qin Chuan applied the needles, then his pupils shrank in shock, exclaiming: "Seven-Star Life Extension, Tai Chi Body Protection, this, this is... Nine Lives Mysterious Needle!?"
