Chapter 116
He Li knew very well about the poison he had contracted.
He didn’t have many days left to live.
However, after researching that potent poison, he had no regrets even if he died from the poisoning.
However, his son was not resigned to this. Recently, he had concocted some “He Sect” and wanted to seize the Tang Sect’s trấn phái chi bảo (sect’s treasured artifact) to treat his body.
It was said that the Tang Sect, with its long inheritance, not only produced excellent poisons and hidden weapons but also possessed treasures left by their ancestors!
The Myriad Spirits Pill.
Just one pill could miraculously cure the dying and restore flesh to bones.
It was precisely for this reason that the He Sect targeted the Tang Sect.
Although they had hoped to achieve the best outcome through negotiation, after the Tang Sect directly refused, the situation spiraled out of control.
Only by fighting to the death could they compare and determine the ultimate victor.
He Li did not stop this course of action, as who would want to die when there was a chance to survive!
Although the Tang Sect suffered heavy losses.
After repeated failed attempts at treatment, He Li’s son became disheartened with the doctors who spoke with deceitful words.
These fellows had no confidence in curing He Li and were merely trying to stall for time to extort more silver!
Upon realizing this possibility, He Chang directly expelled the doctors who could not cure his father and no longer sought new doctors for He Li. Instead, he focused on attacking the Tang Sect, aiming to seize the sect’s treasured artifact.
In this regard, He Li no longer intervened much, preferring to spend his days sightseeing with his servants.
Within his limited time, he wanted to enjoy himself to the fullest!
However, upon hearing that He Chang intended to target a young man named Gu Yu, He Li became intensely curious… and so, he came to see for himself today.
As it turned out, Gu Yu was truly an extraordinary person!
“That’s right, in our region, there are many people with the surname He! I’m just a useless member of my clan. It’s my son who is capable; he’s earned quite a lot of silver this year. Otherwise… I wouldn’t have money to squander!”
“Is that so? I thought it might be someone I knew! I also know someone with ‘He’ in their name, but they’re not very friendly.”
When He Li spoke, Gu Yu couldn’t be certain if his speculation was correct.
After all, He Li mentioned it was a clan.
Similar to the Wang Clan, the entire clan was surnamed Wang…
He shouldn’t overthink it. He would deal with other matters after receiving the hundred thousand taels of silver!
However, after using a Detoxification Pill, he felt a sense of loss.
“Haha, perhaps after we meet, we’ll become friends instead of enemies!”
“I hope so! However, I don’t know what ailment you’ve been suffering from, Elder He, but under the efficacy of my pill, it has been cured.”
“Cured…”
Upon hearing Gu Yu say that his body was already healed, He Li’s eyes widened. He couldn’t believe that the poison that had tormented him for so long had been resolved by a single pill from Gu Yu.
Was it that miraculous?
But just now, he had felt a surge of vitality within his body. He had initially thought it was an illusion after escaping death itself…
Could it be that he had truly recovered to a normal state?
“If you don’t believe me, you can go see another doctor. However, with Gu Yu’s intervention, I guarantee a complete cure.”
“Is Brother so skilled? This illness has plagued me for a long time. I never thought it could be cured.”
“That’s because you hadn’t met me before.”
Seeing the hesitation on He Li’s face, Gu Yu didn’t get angry. After all, they had only just met, and the other party couldn’t possibly trust a stranger immediately.
Once his body was confirmed to have recovered to a normal state, he would surely be overjoyed.
“Products from the Space are guaranteed to be top-notch.”
“Haha, if my illness is truly cured! Young brother, you’ve achieved something monumental! I will reward you, and it will definitely surprise you!”
Because of Gu Yu’s words, He Li could no longer sit still.
Now, he wanted to find a doctor to examine his body and see if he had truly recovered.
However, only after his subordinate delivered the hundred thousand tael silver notes, which He Li personally handed over to Gu Yu, did he reluctantly bid farewell and stride out of the inn.
Gu Yu looked at the silver notes in his hand, a smile naturally forming on his lips. He thought that another lucrative side income had arrived; it was fantastic!
“Tsk tsk, a hundred thousand taels of silver! I couldn’t earn that much in a lifetime!”
“Let alone you, I can’t either!”
“It’s just a horse. I want to go raise horses.”
“Hmph, do you think you can sell a horse for such a sky-high price just by raising it casually? That young man who sold the horse must have a unique recipe to raise horses so well!”
“Are you sure? I think it’s more likely that the horse was exceptionally outstanding, which is why it caught the eye of a wealthy individual.”
“So much money! Just looking at it makes my mouth water.”
After He Li left, the patrons of the inn who were eating and drinking didn’t stop discussing. In fact, the conversation seemed to be escalating.
Especially some who looked at Gu Yu with ardent gazes, mixed with greed, made Gu Yu realize that his group had been targeted.
However, it was understandable.
If it were him, seeing a combination of one big and two small people suddenly acquire a hundred thousand taels of silver, he too would want to take advantage of the situation to enrich his wallet.
But with the Mengyao Gu siblings by his side, it was inconvenient for Gu Yu to make a move directly.
He would be lectured…
“Brother-in-law, let’s go upstairs quickly! The way they’re looking at you is as if they want to devour you!”
“I saw it too. However, if they really dare to come to us, I’ll let them know… what it feels like to be paraded naked on the street.”
“Pfft! That’s a trick I’ve used before!”
“Didn’t you still leave them with a pair of underwear?”
As they spoke, Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng no longer lingered in their spot. They turned and returned to their room, while Xi Yang, behind them, did not return to his own room but stood guard at the door.
If any foolish individuals dared to appear, he would be the first to deal with them.
“Brother-in-law, is that person named He Li lacking in intelligence? Why would he spend so much silver for just a horse!”
“I think you’re the one lacking intelligence. It’s so obvious, and you still can’t see it?”
“???”
Upon returning to the room, Gu Qingheng immediately asked with confusion, feeling very curious about what had just happened. He didn’t understand what He Li was thinking or why he would spend a hundred thousand taels of silver to buy a horse.
Could it be that he was simply being willful because he was rich?
However, when Gu Yu heard Gu Qingheng’s words, he smiled and shook his head, and then what he said made Gu Qingheng even more puzzled.
“He Li came specifically to see me.”
