Chapter 849: The Deal
After introducing the office and laboratory, Gu Yin pressed the communication button, and staff members quickly arrived.
"Take them to complete their onboarding procedures, and then arrange for someone to show them around." After Gu Yin finished speaking, she looked at the two of them and said, "I have to give a report. You two go with the staff first. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I'll contact you later."
The two nodded and followed the staff.
Gu Yin tidied up the things she had brought and then went to Mr. Jin's office.
Old Jin was looking for information when he heard Gu Yin coming over. He then realized, "It's time to get to the base. Why didn't you rest for a bit before coming over? Let her in."
Gu Yin followed the staff in and saw that Old Jin was wearing a uniform that he would only wear in the laboratory, so she figured he had taken some time out to see her.
"Mr. Jin, I'd like to give a work report," Gu Yin greeted him with a smile.
Old Jin nodded: "I know about your husband, Chu Yan. He's had a tough time. It's very admirable that a rich kid like him was willing to bear such infamy and go abroad to develop his career alone! He deserves praise!"
Gu Yin smiled helplessly, "He was indeed scolded quite badly, but it is his honor to be able to contribute to the development of the country. By the way, Professor Jin, I brought two assistants with me this time. They are doctoral students from our Qingdao University. They have been doing experiments with me. They have arrived. I just wanted to let you know."
Upon hearing this, Old Jin nodded: "I know, they have already told me that you can just take it with you. As for your plans after you come back, we will arrange them for you."
Gu Yin already had a plan in mind: "I'll take care of Chi Xing's matter first. After all, Chi Ye has been worried about her. After I've finished dealing with her, I'll see where I should start."
Old Jin also knew that the only condition for Chi Ye to leave was Chi Xing. He nodded and said, "Alright, then go and see her. She doesn't know that Chi Ye has gone abroad yet, but the wound on her tail has almost healed. Your medicine is really effective. I have an idea, and I'll talk to you about it when I have time. You go ahead and get busy."
After Gu Yin left, Jin Lao called the highest-ranking military leader: "Select a group of the best soldiers in every aspect for me, under 38 years old. I don't know if they can make it in time. They will be the first batch to go up. After they arrive, find some outstanding soldiers nationwide for intensive training and then arrange for them to come over again. I want them to come over early to prepare. I don't know why, but when I see Comrade Xiao Zhou, I always feel that our plan will be completed ahead of schedule. Haha, I just have that intuition! I hope that I can see what we have made successfully used in space in my lifetime. Hmm, okay, go and arrange it."
After hanging up the phone, Professor Jin took the documents and went back into the laboratory.
In the frigid land, Gu Yin knocked on the door, and only after hearing Chi Xing's voice from inside did she push the door open and go in.
"Sister Ayin! When did you come back? Where's my brother? Did he come back with you?" Chi Xing emerged from the water, smiling at Gu Yin, tilting her head to look at her back.
Gu Yin walked to the edge of the pool and squatted down: "Let me take a look at your wound."
Upon hearing this, Chi Xing withdrew his gaze, revealed his tail, and said happily, "I'm almost fully recovered! I should be almost done in a few more days!"
Gu Yin looked through them and saw that the uneven, charred wounds had not only been completely covered up, but also had grown tender new flesh. Even the places where the medicine was first applied had grown new scales!
"It seems to be healing well. A few more applications and it will be fine. By the way, I came to tell you that your brother might not be able to come back for a while." Gu Yin looked at Chi Xing with a slightly apologetic expression.
Chi Xing paused for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Did he go on a mission? It's alright, I'll wait for him here." Her brother occasionally went on missions, so this wasn't surprising to Chi Xing.
Gu Yin shook her head, explained Chu Yan's situation, and then said, "So, your brother went to protect my boyfriend, and the time it takes for my boyfriend to complete his mission is uncertain. He probably won't be back for the next three or four years. You probably won't see your brother for the next few years either." Gu Yin looked at her a little embarrassed.
Chi Xing hadn't expected this to be the problem. In the past, Chi Ye would also go abroad, but he would always go to find medicine that could help him overcome his tribulation. Although it took a long time, he would always come back within half a month or a month because he was worried about her. So no matter where he was, he would always come back within that time frame. But now...
"Is it because of me? Did my brother do this because of me? It must be, only I would make him do this... Sister Yin, it's okay, my brother is very capable, you don't need to worry! As for not being able to see him, did he ask you to treat me? Once I'm better, if I miss him, I can go find him myself! You don't need to feel guilty! We're the ones who benefited! Although I'm young, I understand. Your boyfriend is doing this for the country, there will definitely be security personnel. You're not simple either, you must have given him a way to protect himself. My brother isn't really that useful, you don't need to feel guilty!"
Hearing Chi Xing say this, Gu Yin lowered her head and stroked her hair, chuckling softly, "Alright! Sister Yin will listen to Chi Xing, but there's something you're wrong about. Your brother is very important; with him around, I can feel much more at ease! Now it's time for our little sister Chi Xing's turn. This time when I went back, I prepared a lot of medicine, including medicine for your tribulation. So in the next few days, you need to take care of your health first. Once you're ready, we'll arrange the tribulation. I just don't know if you can manage on your own without your brother?"
Chi Xing has been waiting for this opportunity for far too long!
"I can do it! We Jiaoren people have to undergo our own tribulations; no one else can interfere, or we won't grow! Besides, we are favored by the rules, so you don't need to worry, Sister Ayin!" Chi Xing nodded excitedly.
Gu Yin nodded upon hearing this: "That's good. Do you need anything from the place where you're undergoing your tribulation?"
Gu Ran needed to find a suitable place to undergo her tribulation; I wonder if Chi Xing will need one as well.
“I just need to be somewhere with water. I remember my brother telling me that behind the extreme cold lands are endless glaciers, and I can undergo tribulation there. You can talk to Grandpa Jin later and ask him to make arrangements. There are some ships docked there, and we need to move them.”
Gu Yin thought of the glacier; it was indeed very large and very deep. She should tell Elder Jin and ask him to make some arrangements.
"Okay! I'll tell him when I get back that you should take one pill of this medicine a day to strengthen your body. We'll start when you feel ready. You should rest now, I'm going back first."
Chi Xing took the medicine bottle, nodded, and watched Gu Yin disappear through the door before looking down at the bottle full of spiritual energy. She opened the cap, poured out a pill, and swallowed it without blinking.
As soon as the pill entered her throat, the spiritual energy flowed through her meridians. Chi Xing raised her hand and picked up the ends of her hair, which had been somewhat dry before. In an instant, the hair was as if it had been reborn, shining with luster and smoothness! The skin on her hands also seemed to have changed color, gleaming like pearls.
"This is no ordinary pill; it's practically a complete transformation. No wonder my brother made this deal; they're the ones who got the better deal." Chi Xing murmured as he carefully put the pill away.
