Gu Changxuan had never witnessed Qin Sheng hitting anyone, nor could he sense any spiritual power emanating from her, so he didn't take her words to heart.
I just took it as a little girl's angry words.
He nodded seriously, "Okay, cousin will help you fight."
Qin Sheng didn't offer any further explanation, simply nodding and remaining silent.
As they spoke, the group arrived at the main courtyard on the east side.
Gu Changxuan immediately composed himself.
Gu Xiyuan has been the head of the Gu family for over twenty years, and his influence within the family has long been substantial.
Especially in the main courtyard, there are guards, either openly or secretly, almost every three steps, and they are quite strong.
This is one of the reasons why, even after three years, he and his father were unable to rescue their grandfather.
But today is a little different.
As soon as Gu Changxuan entered the main courtyard, he noticed that the gazes that would usually fall on him were gone, and the surroundings were unusually quiet.
He frowned slightly.
But it only took him a moment to realize what was happening, and he chuckled to himself.
Gu Xiyuan was worried that they might use their connections with Lord Ye to harm him, so he probably concentrated all the guards in his grandfather's sickroom right now.
They seem to value their lives quite a bit.
It's just that my brain doesn't work very well.
Putting aside the fact that they did indeed meet Lord Ye by chance, just as he said, they had no other relationship with him.
Even if it really was Lord Ye invited by him or his father, and the other party was there to stand up for them, then even if he doubled the number of his guards, would they be able to stop the other party?
As the most senior, unfathomably powerful, and most prestigious guardian in the ancient martial arts world, Ye Fu is someone that even the entire Gu family could not defeat.
As Gu Changxuan's thoughts raced, he continued walking into the house.
Qin Sheng didn't even pause for a moment, steadily following a step ahead of him.
Gradually, I heard people talking.
"Lord Ye, what do you think of my father's illness... is it still curable?"
Before the bed, Ye Fu's brows were tightly furrowed. After a long while, he released his hand from Gu Dongyuan's pulse point and shook his head slightly: "Difficult."
Gu Yanping's brows furrowed instantly, and he said unwillingly, "Even you can't do anything, then what about my father..."
He was interrupted before he could finish speaking by Gu Xiyuan, who had just breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Xiyuan's eyes were filled with displeasure and dissatisfaction, but it wasn't directed at Ye Fu, but at Gu Yanping.
He glanced at Gu Yanping and said in a deep voice, "Yanping, do not be rude!"
"Lord Ye has already taken time out of his busy schedule to come and diagnose your father, which is already a testament to his old friendship with your grandfather. How can you be so ungrateful and make things difficult for him..."
Gu Xiyuan was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
It was Ye Fu who interrupted him.
Ye Fu looked at Gu Xiyuan with surprise and asked in confusion, "I have a relationship with his grandfather?"
How could he not know?
Gu Xiyuan was stunned.
To be honest, he didn't know either.
But he knew that the Gu family and Ye Fu had no connection.
So it's quite obvious that Ye Fu didn't make this trip specifically for the Gu family.
So what was his purpose?
While Gu Xiyuan was still puzzled, Qin Sheng and his group finally entered the house.
Ye Fu's eyes lit up, and he immediately wanted to go forward, but Qin Sheng stopped him with a look.
He paused before speaking, then quickly realized what he was saying.
His gaze shifted slightly and landed on Gu Yueming, a smile appearing on his face: "Little girl of the Gu family, it's been over twenty years since we last met, and you haven't changed a bit."
Gu Yueming was flattered and quickly stepped forward to greet him, saying, "Greetings, Elder Ye."
Gu Xiyuan asked in surprise and doubt: "Xiao Ming, you... know Lord Ye?"
Before Gu Yueming could answer, Ye Fu spoke first.
He nodded with a smile: "It happened when she was a child. I had just finished my cultivation and encountered some trouble. She happened to be passing by and helped me out. In a way, she was my savior."
"So when I heard that she had come back to visit the critically ill old patriarch of the Gu family, I happened to have some free time, so I came to see if there was anything I could do to help, so as to repay the kindness I had shown her back then."
Gu Yueming's face was practically contorted with embarrassment.
She saw him burn the fish, so she went up to help, and ended up burning the rest of the fish too.
Cough cough cough.
These are not important.
Let's assume she knows Ye Fu, and let's assume she did help him (even though she wasn't able to). But how did he suddenly turn into her savior?
I feel so embarrassed.
However, Gu Yueming is not stupid; in fact, she is quite clever (in her own opinion).
Aside from her daughter, whose strength she still couldn't discern, she was well aware of how difficult their situation was. She also knew that if she wanted to cure her father's illness or get him out of the main courtyard, she could only rely on Ye Fu's help.
Therefore, she accepted the thanks with a smile and said politely, "It's been so long, I didn't expect you to still remember, Elder Ye. It's truly an honor for Yueming."
Ye Fu was even more polite than her: "It's nothing, it's nothing."
Gu Yueming, being of limited intelligence, couldn't detect the shady dealings between Ye Fu and Qin Sheng, and others, unaware of the situation, wouldn't suspect anything in Qin Sheng's direction.
However, Qin Zheng gradually realized his daughter's extraordinary nature through repeated shocks during this period. In addition, he deliberately lowered his presence after entering the Gu family and kept a close eye on the Gu family's situation.
Therefore, he did not miss the fleeting surprise in Ye Fu's eyes and Qin Sheng's cold gaze.
A thoughtful look flashed across Qin Zheng's eyes.
After Gu Yueming and Ye Fu had finished their pleasantries, he stepped forward for the first time and spoke up, "Lord Ye, I think I just heard you say that my father-in-law's illness is difficult to cure?"
Ye Fu nodded: "It is indeed difficult."
The difficulty lies in the fact that Gu Dongyuan has been poisoned, but he cannot discern what kind of poison it is.
It's difficult because it's unknown.
Qin Zheng thought for a moment, then reached out and pulled Qin Sheng, who was standing next to Gu Yueming, forward, and continued, "This is my daughter with Xiaoming. She has some medical knowledge. I wonder if we could have her help you with the diagnosis?"
That would be perfect!
Ye Fu had come specifically for Qin Sheng, and upon hearing this, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
But before he could agree, Gu Xiyuan's cold voice lashed out at Qin Zheng: "Who do you think you are? When did it become your place to meddle in the affairs of the Gu family?!"
"Who is Lord Ye? How dare you point fingers at him?"
"My daughter Yi'er has studied medicine for over ten years, yet she never dared to embarrass herself in front of Lord Ye. Your daughter, who only has a smattering of medical knowledge, dares to ask to make a diagnosis with Lord Ye?"
What a huge face!
Gu Xiyuan cursed inwardly, but his manners as the head of a family forced him to barely hold back his last words.
As soon as he finished speaking, he found the fairly spacious room completely silent, and the air had somehow cooled down by several degrees.
