1351: Chapter 1310: Risking One’s Life 1351: Chapter 1310: Risking One’s Life The words of the Tower Spirit echoed in Lu Chuan’s ears, forcing him into contemplation.
Is it really necessary to take such a risk?
Lu Chuan turned around and looked at the increasingly pale face of Old Master Ye on the bed, letting out a deep sigh.
To save this decrepit old man and end up losing my own life—is it really worth it?
Should I just give up?
This strange Gu is incredibly rare in the world.
While my dical skills are exceptional, this is far beyond my capabilities.
Even if Old Master Ye dies, I won’t feel any guilt.
“Honestly, I only ca here to answer a question.
I’ve already saved him once!
If I couldn’t save him a second ti, am I really to bla?”
“If anyone is to bla, it’s the schers within the Ye Family.
What can I do about that?
I have my own matters to attend to, and people I need to et.
Back ho, countless beauties are eagerly waiting for to return!”
“Even if the Ye Family collapses, what does it have to do with ?
I could just dust myself off and go back to Cloud City, living my carefree life as usual!”
With his eyebrows furrowed, Lu Chuan repeated these thoughts endlessly, trying to convince himself.
“Tower Spirit, aren’t you planning to say sothing?”
“If you wanted to leave, you would have left long ago.
Why are you still here?
Since you decided to stay, why bother wasting words on excuses?”
“…So, you really do understand , huh?”
“I find it rather regrettable myself.”
…
Fine, Lu Chuan truly hadn’t considered leaving, not just for Ye Jiaxin, but for himself as well.
Every ti Ye Jiaxin’s despairing gaze flashed through his mind, Lu Chuan felt a pang in his chest.
The word “give up” simply refused to leave his lips.
With these thoughts lingering, Lu Chuan exhaled deeply, extending his Spiritual Sense to lock onto Ye Jiaxin’s aura.
He conveyed a ssage to her: “Ye Jiaxin, bring a few trustworthy people to Old Master Ye’s courtyard imdiately.”
Ye Jiaxin, receiving Lu Chuan’s transmission, did not hesitate at all.
She imdiately contacted a few absolutely reliable family mbers and hurried to her grandfather’s courtyard, only to run into Lu Chuan sitting in a daze on the steps outside.
“Lu… Mr.
Lu Chuan, how is my grandfather?”
“Not dead yet.
You all stay here.
Ye Jiaxin, follow .”
Without waiting for a response, Lu Chuan grabbed Ye Jiaxin’s wrist.
Seeing this, the other Ye family mbers instinctively rushed forward, only for Ye Jiaxin to stop them in ti.
“Do not show disrespect to Mr.
Lu Chuan!”
“…Understood, Miss.”
Ye Jiaxin had no idea what Lu Chuan intended to do and could only stumble along as he led her away.
The others remained near Old Master Ye’s courtyard to ensure his safety.
The two arrived at Lu Chuan’s courtyard.
Lu Chuan pushed open the door and led Ye Jiaxin inside.
Before she could compose herself, Lu Chuan loosened the belt around his waist, removed his upper garnts, and revealed his toned and aesthetically pleasing physique.
Seeing this scene, Ye Jiaxin froze in place, appearing flustered and unsure of what to do.
She never expected events to unfold like this; her cheeks flushed red as she stamred, “Lu…
Mr.
Lu Chuan, what are you doing?”
“Stop asking questions.
Listen carefully to what I’m about to say because this concerns both your grandfather’s life and mine.
There can be no room for error!”
Lu Chuan spoke with deliberate precision, anwhile placing a dagger on the desk.
“The Gu Poison from this Gu Insect is extrely complex.
Ten days is not enough for to concoct a perfect antidote.
I will have to take a risk.”
“Take a risk… Mr.
Lu Chuan, you wouldn’t dare—”
“Do NOT interrupt !
Listen carefully, Ye Jiaxin.
I’m going to plant the Gu Insect into my body and let the poison spread inside .
When I tell you to remove it, you’ll grab this dagger, slice my flesh open, and extract the damned insect before crushing it.”
“Rember, no matter where the insect’s located, you must not hesitate—a mont’s doubt could cost my life!
If I die, your grandfather won’t live either.
Do you understand?”
“I… I understand.”
Ye Jiaxin swallowed nervously, her pale face still filled with shock.
She didn’t understand—she truly couldn’t comprehend.
Why would Mr.
Lu Chuan go to such lengths?
Clearly, even if he left right now, she wouldn’t hold it against him.
Her grandfather often said, “A doctor cannot save an incurable patient; a Buddha can only guide those with fate.” Risking one’s own life—was it truly worth it?
Yet Lu Chuan gave Ye Jiaxin no chance to object.
Once everything was prepared, he didn’t hesitate for a mont.
He sliced open the skin over his own chest and buried the Gu Insect inside.
In an instant!
Lu Chuan collapsed to his knees, veins bulging on his forehead, his face turning red, guttural animalistic growls erupting from his throat—a testant to his excruciating agony.
Ye Jiaxin watched in horror as the Gu Insect squird under Lu Chuan’s skin, turning the flesh it passed black and purple, spreading rapidly.
Tears began to pour uncontrollably.
“Mr.
Lu Chuan, take the Gu Insect out now!
Jiaxin is already deeply grateful.
This is my grandfather’s destiny—please don’t push yourself any further!”
“Shut… shut up!
Your crying is unbearable!”
Lu Chuan gritted his teeth as the Gu Insect reached his chest, then began crawling up his neck.
Lu Chuan imdiately used his fingers as a sword, wielding Spiritual Power to restrain the insect and prevent it from entering his spirit sea.
If his spirit sea were contaminated, it would truly be beyond salvation!
“Nine Yin Grass… Juemai Flower, Mother-Child Heart-Eating Poison, Thousand Mountain Crane… One more ingredient, what is the last one?!”
The toxins within him continued to spread, and Lu Chuan felt his vision grow increasingly blurry—gray, pale, nearly blind.
From Ye Jiaxin’s perspective, Lu Chuan’s condition had escalated into an unnervingly terrifying state—bleeding from seven orifices, his eyes blood-red.
“Mr.
Lu Chuan…”
“The final ingredient—what is it?
Wait!
Yes, it’s the Tianshan Lotus Root!
Hahaha!
I’ve figured it out—it’s the Tianshan Lotus Root!
Ye Jiaxin, the ti is now!
Remove that damned insect!”
Upon hearing these words, Ye Jiaxin didn’t hesitate for a mont.
She gripped the dagger tightly and plunged it into Lu Chuan’s neck, swallowing her anguish as she sliced his flesh open, extracted the Gu Insect, and crushed it with force.
Dark blood sprayed from Lu Chuan’s wound, staining his magic artifact black and red, yet he showed no concern, laughing wildly instead.
“A re Gu Insect, that’s all it was!
I thought it would be sothing far more profound!
In the end, I prevailed!
Ye Jiaxin, your grandfather… he’s saved.”
As those words fell, Lu Chuan felt his consciousness grow increasingly hazy.
His vision went black, and he completely collapsed.
“Mr.
Lu Chuan?
Mr.
Lu Chuan… Lu Chuan!”
