16: Gu Luoqing fell ill

"Why is my heart so uneasy?"

Su Yuheng, who was caring for Ye Fan in the Heavenly Feather Sect, suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest.

This was followed by an intense feeling of unease that flooded her mind.

"Strange, this feeling is very uncomfortable. Is something wrong?"

She closed her eyes and swept with her Divine Sense.

A Primordial Chaos Realm expert's Divine Sense can detect all living beings within a radius of five thousand li, and at Hunyuan Triple Layer, every rustle within ten thousand li cannot escape their Divine Sense tracking.

Su Yuheng's consciousness space spread out in all directions, centered on the Heavenly Feather Sect.

As soon as her Divine Sense swept over Wushuang City, the collapsed Tianxia Chamber of Commerce and the scattered wreckage immediately fed back into her mind.

"Who dares to destroy my Tianxia Chamber of Commerce!"

At this moment, Su Yuheng's entire body erupted with a terrifying Aura.

In just a single breath, Ye Fan's courtyard instantly collapsed.

Fortunately, Su Yuheng had cast a Barrier in advance to protect Ye Fan, otherwise, under such terrifying pressure, with Ye Fan's current state, he would have long since been unable to bear it and would have been pulverized.

"Senior Sister, you..."

Tang Bao, a Disciple who rushed over, was immediately terrified and at a loss for words when he saw this scene.

"Watch him, I'll be back soon."

At this moment, Su Yuheng no longer cared about Ye Fan, transforming into a speck of spiritual light and rushing directly towards Wushuang City.

Not far away, a small black dog watched Su Yuheng's departing figure and couldn't help but let out a faint roar: "Woof woof woof woof (Third Senior Sister, don't you want me anymore? Don't leave like this!)"

...In front of the Longevity Chamber of Commerce at this time, Shen Lian gently fanned his Folding Fan, calmly standing outside the door, waiting to meet and discuss with Gu Luoqing.

However, after waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Gu Luoqing still did not invite him in, which made Shen Lian gradually lose his patience.

He walked up to the guard and asked sternly, "I'll only ask once, is Gu Luoqing going to see me or not?

Give me a straight answer immediately. I don't have time to play these 'three visits to the thatched cottage' games with her here."

The guard hurriedly said, "Mr. Shen, please wait a moment. Our Young Lord, her hidden illness has flared up again."

"Hidden illness?"

Shen Lian pondered for a moment, then closed his eyes and swept with his Divine Sense.

Indeed, as his consciousness swept through, a power of extreme yin and evil faintly emerged within the Longevity Chamber of Commerce.

"Hmph!"

Shen Lian snorted coldly, then spoke.

"Tell your Young Lord that as long as she agrees to cooperate, I will personally cure her hidden illness."

The guard heard this, his face full of disbelief: "You mean you can cure our Young Lord's hidden illness?"

Another guard immediately sneered, "Don't listen to his nonsense. He's definitely some charlatan who popped up out of nowhere,

trying to use this to catch our Young Lord's Dharma Eye. I've seen too many people like him."

The next second, the guard who made the sarcastic remark was directly sucked into Shen Lian's palm, his throat clutched.

"Ugh..."

"Painful, isn't it? Feeling difficulty breathing? This is the price of speaking carelessly. However, you should be fortunate that,

a trash who judges people by their appearance like you doesn't even have the qualification to die by my hand."

With that, he directly tossed the guard.

Immediately, the guard's body was heavily flung against the courtyard wall, and he fainted on the spot.

The other guard was stunned, then shouted, "How dare you! You actually dare to injure someone in front of the Longevity Chamber of Commerce, no..."

"If you don't want to be paralyzed in bed for the rest of your life, a cripple who needs someone to help you urinate,

then shut your stinking mouth. Not killing you doesn't mean you'll be safe and sound, understood, trash!"

The guard immediately dared not speak again.

At this moment, the main gate of the Longevity Chamber of Commerce slowly opened.

A butler with a face like a toad walked out and immediately bowed to Shen Lian.

"Sir, there was much offense just now. Our Young Lord invites you in."

His attitude was extremely humble, with a deep trace of worry on his face.

However, Shen Lian turned his back directly, closed his Folding Fan, and replied, "Tell her to come out and greet me personally!"

"What did you say?"

The butler seemed not to have understood Shen Lian's words, looking at his back with disbelief.

Have his Young Lord personally come out to greet him?

How dare this fellow even think such a thing?

"Sir, if our household servants offended you, then I apologize to you on their behalf."

"Where is the sincerity of the apology?" Shen Lian slowly spoke, "I came to cooperate with the Longevity Chamber of Commerce, not to look at your expressions.

Now, before the cooperation has even begun, I am treated like this. Do you think a mere apology from a servant can solve the problem? Don't you think that's too naive?"

The butler's forehead immediately bulged with veins.

He had lived for so many years and had never seen such an arrogant person.

Gu Luoqing was, after all, a peerless beauty on par with Su Yuheng. How many men yearned to meet her but couldn't?

Unlike this arrogant scholar in front of him, who actually demanded that she personally come out to greet him?

If it were in the past, the butler would have already made a move.

But for some reason, seeing Shen Lian's unperturbed Aura, the butler actually felt a strong sense of oppression.

"I will only wait for half a quarter of an hour. After half a quarter of an hour, if I still haven't seen Gu Luoqing standing outside the door, then the cooperation will be void.

You can relay a message to her: if she wants to cure her headache, she'd better appear before me within half a quarter of an hour."

"What? You... can cure our Young Lord's hidden illness?"

The butler was immediately shocked. His Young Lord's hidden illness had persisted for a full century.

Since she entered the Primordial Chaos Realm, it would flare up almost every day around noon, and each time it would be so painful that she would almost smash her head open before it would stop.

Even after visiting famous doctors across the land and exhausting Heaven And Earth Treasures, this headache showed no signs of improvement.

This arrogant scholar, whose bone age was almost the same as the Young Lord's, actually claimed he could cure this headache?

Could this be true?

"Time is ticking now. You can continue to waste it; I don't care."

Shen Lian's reply instantly made the butler make up his mind.

He might as well try a desperate remedy.

He immediately said to Shen Lian, "Please wait a moment, Sir. I will be right back."

With that, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, instantly transforming into light and disappearing from the spot... "Ah~~"

"Su Yuheng, I'm going to kill you~"

"Ah~ so painful, so painful, ah~"

In the Longevity Chamber of Commerce, Gu Luoqing was clutching her head in her courtyard, constantly rolling back and forth on the ground.

This heart-wrenching pain had accompanied her for a full century!

When she was Undergoing Tribulation back then, she was ambushed by Su Yuheng, and a bolt of extremely evil lightning struck her mind. Although she successfully entered the Primordial Chaos Realm, she also suffered from this terrible illness as a result.

Every day after noon, her illness would flare up, and each time she would experience an ordeal akin to a life-and-death Tribulation.

Several times, she wanted to commit suicide, but thinking of the face of the person who harmed her, she endured for a hundred years.

However, as time went on, this headache grew more and more severe, showing no signs of recovery, and the entire Gu Family was helpless against it.

After enduring a century of torment, Gu Luoqing was finally on the verge of collapse.

"Enough, Su Yuheng! You win. Don't you just want me dead? I'll grant your wish!"

With a deep shout, Gu Luoqing directly condensed Spiritual Qi in her palm, intending to smash her own skull and completely free herself.

"Young Lord, you mustn't!"

Just then, the butler arrived.

"Young Lord, please don't do anything foolish. There's a divine doctor outside the mansion gate, who says he can cure your headache, but he requires the Young Lord to come out and greet him."

"Cure my headache? Is that true?"

"Young Lord, let him try it, at least."

Gu Luoqing didn't hesitate, decisively transforming into a green streak of light and speeding towards the mansion gate.
