The Emperor’s Counterattack

In the last life, Qi Zhiheng was a low-level cultivator with poor personal quality in the Xuanyue mainland, which was respected by martial arts. He was expelled from his home and became a small lan...

Chapter 52 The Reason for the Incident

Qi Zhiheng put Gu Qinglin's hand back under the covers.

The whole family looked at him.

Qi Zhiheng said, "I cannot completely resolve my uncle's problem for the time being."

When these words were spoken, everyone seemed to have expected it, but they were still somewhat disappointed.

Qi Zhenhua's eyes reddened. She knew she was just grasping at straws in her desperation. How could she expect her fifteen-year-old nephew to help her husband?

Seeing everyone's dejected expressions, Qi Zhiheng explained, "My current abilities are not enough to completely heal my uncle's meridians. I need to wait until I reach a higher level in my cultivation. Before that, I will first refine some pills for my uncle to temporarily stabilize his injuries."

Qi Zhenhua felt a little relieved after hearing Qi Zhiheng's words.

Qi Zhiheng first refined medicine to stabilize Gu Qinglin's injuries and had him take it. Only after Gu Qinglin's injuries improved did he inquire about the situation.

Qi Zhenhua married into the Gu family in Lin'an Town, which is two towns away from Hushi Town. The Gu family is larger than the original Qi family, so Qi Zhenhua and Gu Qinglin's marriage can be considered a good match.

Why was Gu Qinglin brought to the Qi family after his injury? Did the Gu family not care?

Qi Zhiheng learned about the situation from his family's description, which was somewhat related to his marriage.

When the Gu family heard that Qi Zhenhua's family and the Yang family in Qianshi City were engaged, the Gu family treated Qi Zhenhua with utmost kindness. No matter what they did, right or wrong, they always sided with Gu Qinglin.

Ever since the Gu family learned that Qi Zhiheng had married nothing more than an unloved, mentally challenged girl from the Yang family of Qianshi City, the attitude of the entire Gu family changed drastically!

Gu Qinglin's half-brother was already very dissatisfied with the Gu family's biased attitude towards Gu Qinglin. Now that he learned that Gu Qinglin's backer was no longer a problem, he sabotaged him and had him crippled.

With Gu Qinglin crippled, he lost his value. The Gu family then planned to install their eldest son in the position. As for whether the younger son could be cured, the cost would be too high, and no one even considered trying to treat him.

Qi Zhenhua also felt somewhat guilty towards her husband, as it was indeed related to the Qi family. If the Qi family hadn't gotten involved with the Yang family of Qianshi City, the patriarch wouldn't have been so biased towards Gu Qinglin, and Gu Qinglin's elder brother wouldn't have hated him and even tried to sabotage him.

Qi Zhenhua knew that causing trouble at the Gu family's house wouldn't make a difference; the Gu family couldn't possibly be unaware that Gu Qinglin's elder brother had harmed Gu Qinglin! But so what? Gu Qinglin was already ruined, utterly worthless. Gu Qinglin's elder brother was the most talented person besides Gu Qinglin, and the Gu family would have to rely on him in the future.

Qi Zhenhua went directly to the Gu family patriarch! She demanded firmly that he change Gu Qinglin's status to marry into the Qi family! In the end, she even wrote a letter of severance, refusing Gu Qinglin any further contact with the Gu family.

Old Master Gu naturally disagreed! Qi Zhenhua directly used Qi Wantian as a threat! She was the only female member of the Qi family, and Qi Wantian doted on her, giving her a token made of her own spiritual power that allowed her to contact Qi Wantian directly.

At this moment, she was using this as a threat! The old master of the Gu family was just a spirit master and dared not offend Qi Wantian, a spirit general. So he had no choice but to agree to the matter, change Gu Qinglin's status to marry into the Qi family, and then sign a letter of severance.

Regardless of how shocked the Gu family was, Qi Zhenhua still left with the injured Gu Qinglin. To avoid further trouble, Qi Zhenhua rushed back to the Qi family that same day.
