Gu An raised her eyebrows questioningly at Mei Jiang.
Mei Jiang explained, “This is my man. The Ganoderma is on him. After all, I’m a weak woman. It’s better not to put such a treasure on me. It’s too dangerous.”
After saying that, she threw a flirtatious glance at Gu An.
Mei Jiang still didn’t want to give up on such a cold man.
Gu An ignored Mei Jiang and did not make a comment about her words.
Mei Jiang lips twitched as she brought contempt upon herself and gave the burly man behind her a look.
The burly man understood the look and took a step forward, taking out a jade box from his chest and placing it on the table.
The moment the jade box was taken out, the entire room turned cold.
Su Yan rubbed her arms and looked at the burly man’s chest with curiosity.
Wouldn’t it be cold if such an ice cube was placed on his chest?
Mei Jiang noticed Su Yan’s gaze and laughed. She explained to her, “We are martial artists, so we are naturally not afraid of this bit of cold. However, people like the young miss who have never practiced martial arts will naturally feel cold.”
Her tone carried the arrogance of a martial artist.
Su Yan rolled her eyes and hugged Gu An’s arm. She said meekly, “Yes, I have never practiced martial arts, so every time I encounter danger, it is Miracle Doctor An who saves me.”
Mei Jiang’s expression froze and turned cold.
She felt that Su Yan was a bit of an eyesore, and her killing intent had already risen.
Gu an blocked Mei Jiang’s gaze and reached out to open the box.
When she saw the crystal clear Ganoderma inside, a hint of familiarity and hatred flashed through her eyes.
In an instant, his breathing became unstable, and the burly man noticed it.
His suspicious gaze lingered on Gu an and Su Yan.
Mei Jiang noticed that something was wrong with the burly man and looked over at him.
She gave off a vague feeling that the burly man was in charge.
The burly man suddenly asked, “Miracle Doctor An, why are you looking for this Ganoderma?”
The burly man’s voice was hoarse and extremely unpleasant to the ears.
Gu An’s expression froze for a moment and she quickly put away all her emotions.
When she raised her head again, she had already regained her cold and indifferent expression.
“A friend needs it to save his life.”
The truth and falsehood in his words were hard to discern.
The burly man continued to ask, “I wonder what is the relationship between this friend and Miracle Doctor An?”
Gu An’s expression did not change. “This has nothing to do with you guys, right? It’s just a consensual transaction. There’s no need for me to answer your questions.”
Mei Jiang saw that the atmosphere was not right, so she quickly tried to smooth things over. “Don’t be angry, Miracle Doctor An. He doesn’t know how to speak.”
She looked at the burly man’s expression and continued, “Since you’ve seen the Ganoderma, can you give me the Nine-turning Needle Manual now?”
Gu An nodded and took out the needle manual from her chest and placed it on the table.
Mei Jiang was delighted and took the needle manual in her hand.
She carefully opened it and flipped through it. Only when she was sure that it was real did she relax.
The burly man, however, pressed down on Gu an’s hand that was going to take the jade box.
Gu An held the jade box in her hand and struggled twice, but she could not break free.
She asked with a dark expression, “What do you mean by this? Are you going to go back on your word?”
The burly man laughed hoarsely and said, “Of course not. Our King of Medicine’s Valley values honesty the most.”
Hearing the other party call themselves the King of Medicine’s Valley, Gu An’s expression became even colder.
Fortunately, her expression was originally extremely cold, so this change was not too obvious.
“Then what do you mean?”
The burly man said, “I’m worried that Miracle Doctor An doesn’t understand the medicinal properties of this Ganoderma, so I wanted to tell you about it. After all, it’s our King of Medicine’s Valley’s most precious treasure. Don’t waste it.”
Gu An pulled her hand hard again, but she still couldn’t break free. She looked straight at the burly man and said, “There’s no need for that. Although I can’t compare to the King of Medicine’s Valley, I still have the title of a Miracle Doctor. I won’t not understand a simple Ganoderma.”
Hearing the mockery in Gu An’s words, the burly man’s face darkened.
The burly man said, “Miracle Doctor An seems to be dissatisfied with our King fo Medicine’s Valley.”
