Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife

"How is Old Master Bai's health now?"

Qi Shan changed the subject and asked.

Song Yun pinched his shoulder, waved his hand to signal Qi Shan to lower his head, and whispered in his ear, "Heart-Piercing Gu!"

"Heart-Piercing Gu!!!"

Qi Shan nearly shouted out the name; he covered his mouth, his face full of disbelief!

Immediately after, he fiercely speculated whether someone was secretly manipulating things, recalling that some time ago, Ouyang Shu also fell victim to being poisoned by a Gu...

"Time's up, you stand guard for me, and don't allow anyone to disturb me while I remove the needles!"

Song Yun took a deep breath, his eyes determined as he looked at the thirteen needles.

Inserting needles is easy, but removing them is difficult, not only because it requires double the effort, but also because the silver needles are extremely hot at this point. Any carelessness could directly burn the skin and lead to deviation in needle removal. Although the consequences for the physician are minimal, the patient could die on the spot!

Song Yun gently gripped a needle, immediately feeling a burning sensation in his fingers. He used a clever twist to rotate the silver needle, seizing the right moment to pull out the first one.

The second one!

The third one!

The fourth one!

All were orderly removed.

By the time he reached the twelfth needle, as soon as Song Yun's fingers touched it, a "hiss" sound erupted and the smell of burning flesh entered everyone's nostrils.

Song Yun endured the pain, steadying his hand, but as he was pulling out the needle, he discovered that inside Old Master Bai's body seemed to be a pulling force, wrapping around the silver needle, preventing its removal.

"Huff!"

Song Yun took a deep breath in and out, adjusting his body to optimum condition. When the moment was right, veins on his fingers bulged, and he extracted the needle with brute force!

"Uncle Master, the thirteenth needle is going to be tricky..."

Seeing Song Yun's fatigue, Qi Shan was somewhat worried.

If Old Master Bai passed away due to natural causes, then everything would be fine, and the aftermath would be dealt with accordingly!

But if it was due to a deviation in Song Yun's treatment, extinguishing the hope that Old Master Bai had to survive, the consequences would be unthinkable!

"Go and prepare the medicine according to the prescription. You must be back within half an hour!"

Song Yun, weak, picked up a pen and wrote down the instructions before handing them to Qi Shan.

Qi Shan looked at the prescription and realized it was a very strong medicine. At this point, could it be intended for Old Master Bai to drink?

Such a medicine is highly damaging to the body, especially for an elderly person; Old Master Bai might just pass away as soon as he swallowed it!

But with trust in Song Yun, Qi Shan nodded and dashed out with the greatest speed.

Twenty minutes later, Qi Shan brought a steaming bowl of medicinal soup to Song Yun. Without changing his expression, Song Yun directly drank it down.

Instantly, his face turned red and his skin quickly became flushed, visible to the naked eye.

Only then did Qi Shan realize that Song Yun was somewhat exhausted and was using this external substance to stimulate his body's potential!

But Song Yun had also just been punished yesterday!

He too was injured!

Song Yun closed his eyes to assimilate the power of the medicine, and a few minutes later, when he reopened them, his eyes burst with sharp light.

He grabbed the last needle on Old Master Bai's body and roared as he yanked it out!

All thirteen needles had been removed, and Old Master Bai's previously swollen skin suddenly deflated back to its original state.

Song Yun couldn't care less about his groggy brain; he directly hammered down on Old Master Bai's heart!

"Fuck! What the hell are you doing!!!"

Bai Haoxue jumped up from his seat, his fist flying toward Song Yun's face, but was directly caught by Qi Shan on its way.

"Bai Laotian, sit quietly in your own seat!" Read new adventures at empire

Qi Shan's eyelids drooped as he spoke faintly, yet anger could be heard in his tone.

After struggling free, Bai Haoxue was still determined to interrupt Song Yun. However, with Bai Jingbing's full attention on him after the first attempt, he could only circle like a wild beast around his prey, unable to do anything!

"Damn it! Bai Jingbing, just screw things up! I bet Dad will end up dead by your hands sooner or later!"

Bai Haoxue huffed, pulled his wife, and stormed out, slamming the door behind them.

"Cough... cough cough cough..."

The old master of the Bai family coughed violently, then turned over and lay face down on the bed, opening his mouth to vomit a clump of black mucus.

"What is this?"

Bai Jingbing was stunned, is this even something a human body can produce?

Why does it feel more and more ominous the more he looked at it!

"Number Two, call in a couple of people. Carry the old master to another room to rest."

Song Yun supported herself by the bed to prevent from collapsing.

Bai Jingbing hastily opened the door and signaled for a few of the Bai Family members to carry the old master out. When he returned alone, he found Song Yun and Qi Shan stirring with small sticks in the mucus.

"You… ugh…"

As Bai Jingbing approached, a nauseating smell hit him, and he leaned against the wall, retching.

"Eating grains inevitably leads to accumulation of such substances in the body. Today, my master uncle has played the role of a plumber, clearing out all these years of accumulation from your father's body."

Qi Shan seemed unaffected by the smell of the mucus, casually stirring without changing his expression.

"Then... ugh... why don't you dispose of it rather than... ugh..."

Bai Jingbing asked while retching.

Because to him, the two in front of him didn't seem human at all!

Now it was the height of summer, and since the old master often felt cold due to his weak constitution, the room had never been air-conditioned.

Just imagine, in a sealed space, a nauseating odor intensified by the blazing sun...

"Found it!"

Song Yun used the stick to pick up a little worm, barely two centimeters long.

This was the Heart-Piercing Gu!

The tiny worm squirmed, trying to fall off the stick and return to the mucus.

But Song Yun wouldn't allow it, picking it up with the stick and dropping it into a glass of water.

The Heart-Piercing Gu rose and fell in the water, eventually sinking to the bottom of the glass with a stream of bubbles, falling into a deep sleep.

"Is this also part of a person's body?"

Bai Jingbing asked with a grimace.

He just felt uncomfortable all over, as if there were many little worms crawling around inside him!

"Your father has been poisoned with Gu."

Qi Shan helped Song Yun to sit down on a chair, then opened the windows and the air conditioning, dispersing the unpleasant odor in the room.

"Poisoned with Gu???"

Bai Jingbing was stunned, disbelief written all over his face, for such things sounded to him like fairy tales, akin to mythological stories.

But Hua Country's history of thousands of years had nourished many extraordinary people, and although one may not usually see their true faces in ordinary life, this does not mean they do not exist.

Bai Jingbing punched the white wall and said darkly, "So that means my dad didn't fall ill naturally, but someone wants our family pillar to break?"
