Chapter 127 – Really Good!
After dealing with Zhuang Hui, the danger was immediately lifted.
Those who wanted to target the Gu family were quickly subdued by the alliance’s direct intervention and dared not have any further thoughts.
As for the individual stubborn elements, Bai Qian did not hold back and directly had them eliminated.
The action was relatively discreet, and not too many people knew about it.
Even the murdered relatives thought it was just an ‘accident’… However, the accomplices who had previously discussed dealing with the Gu family immediately lost their remaining unwillingness upon hearing the news of someone’s death, and from then on, they lived with their tails tucked between their legs.
The Gu family was not to be trifled with!
When Gu Qing learned of the outcome of the matter, he sighed helplessly, not expecting that he would one day be targeted.
However, it was all thanks to his good daughter and son-in-law who had already resolved the trouble.
Good, really good!
Thinking of this, Gu Qing couldn’t help but smile and raise his hand to stroke his recently grown beard, his eyes full of pride, giving him the urge to boast to others.
With such an outstanding daughter and son-in-law, it would be a pity to keep it a secret!
“Gu Qing, why are you suddenly smiling so happily? What good things have happened recently! Why don’t you tell us!”
Just then, some old friends who came to visit spoke up, which made Gu Qing’s eyes light up, knowing he had someone to confide in!
So, Gu Qing grabbed his friends and talked a lot.
Afterwards, he took out the Longevity Pill given by Gu Yu to show off.
Upon seeing the pills in the exquisite wooden box, those who came to visit couldn’t help but exchange glances, seeing envy in each other’s eyes.
They didn’t know what incredible luck Gu Qing had to have such a capable son-in-law; it was truly enviable.
Gu Yu’s superb medical skills were now known to everyone in the capital.
Even incurable diseases could be easily cured…
This led, upon hearing that the medicine was personally made by Gu Yu, and furthermore, a medicine that increases lifespan, to a desire in several of them to snatch it.
However, fortunately, greed quickly subsided.
This made them all shake their heads with a wry smile, thinking that they were so old yet still lacked self-control like young boys; it was truly embarrassing!
But, it was precisely because of their old age that the Longevity Pill was so desirable.
After all, who wouldn’t want to live a few more years!
“Gu Qing, I say you old fellow are really bad-minded! Taking out such a magical pill like the Longevity Pill in front of us and showing off, isn’t this just making us suffer with longing!”
“Not at all, I just wanted you to see my son-in-law…”
“Alright, alright, we already know your son-in-law is exceptional. His remarkable medical skills alone have left a deep impression!”
As Gu Qing was about to continue, one of the guests spoke first, wanting Gu Qing to quickly put away the Longevity Pill.
Otherwise, they might really snatch it!
When Gu Qing heard his old friend say this, he only thought for a moment before understanding their meaning.
Immediately, a smile hung on his lips, and the pride in his eyes deepened.
This made the others’ hands itch with desire, thinking that if it were their younger days, they would have dealt with Gu Qing long ago.
Unfortunately, they were old!
“It’s just because we’re good brothers that I mentioned this!”
“After mentioning it, are you going to give us this precious Longevity Pill?”
“That won’t do, I only have these few pills!”
“That’s what I mean, you old rascal…”
“Wait a minute, let me finish! Although I can’t give you the Longevity Pills, my son-in-law still has some.”
Seeing his old friends getting anxious, Gu Qing quickly said something to stabilize their emotions.
He remembered being extremely excited the first time he saw the Longevity Pill from Gu Yu, completely unable to imagine that there was medicine that could prolong life.
It was truly miraculous!
After seeing Gu Yu off, Gu Qing turned and directly took one.
Although no effect was immediately apparent, Gu Qing felt in his heart that he had already gained quite a bit of lifespan.
His son-in-law’s miraculous medical skills were beyond doubt!
Gu Yu was also not stingy, directly giving Gu Qing and Gongsun Feifei ten Longevity Pills each, totaling twenty pills.
With a usage limit of five pills, there were still five left for them to use at their discretion.
After receiving the Longevity Pills, Gongsun Feifei immediately sent them to her father, Old General Gongsun Jie, and ate the remaining five herself.
As for Gu Qing, after giving five to his younger son Gu Heng, he used the rest as props for showing off.
However, given his inability to resist eating them, it was estimated that the Longevity Pills would all be gone in a few days.
“To your son-in-law? Such precious pills, he probably won’t agree!”
“It is precious, but it also has a price… As long as you can offer a price that satisfies my son-in-law, you can naturally obtain such precious pills.”
“…”
“If it weren’t for the fact that we’ve known each other for many years, I wouldn’t have mentioned such a good thing… Whether you can obtain it depends on yourselves next.”
At first, several of them were hesitant.
But after hearing Gu Qing’s words, thinking that he was not someone who faked things, and considering Gu Yu’s miraculous medical skills… this made them feel restless, and they did not stay at the Gu family’s place any longer.
Instead, they quickly returned home to count their treasures and see if they could exchange them for Longevity Pills!
After all, no matter how good their treasures were… they were not as good as their lives!
As long as they were alive, they could continue to collect treasures!
But if they died, their treasures would go to others cheaply.
Thinking of this, after returning home, they all called their juniors and stated that no matter what good things they had, they should all be brought out at this time.
The matter was of great importance and not to be taken lightly!
The direct blood relatives who were summoned, although they felt very strange about this, did not dare to question it at this time, but solemnly nodded, indicating that they would definitely bring out the best treasures.
When people get old, they tend to overthink and act rashly. At such times, one should not go against them but follow along.
Anyway, the treasures sent would eventually be returned to them in another way.
Moreover, in Linfeng Kingdom, filial piety was very important.
Especially when the old man of the family was still serving as an official, the younger generation had to be respectful.
After all, with power, they were the pillars of the family, making it impossible to disobey.
However, the reason why they suddenly thought of offering their treasures needed to be thoroughly investigated.
