Chapter 189: Chapter 189: She Begged Me to Hold Her!

Inside the Medicine King House.

Suddenly, a chilling breeze swept through, filled with a murderous aura.

Lin Fan, sensing something amiss, quickly turned around.

He saw an old man with white whiskers, steadying Gong Tianao who almost stumbled to the ground.

Dressed in black robes, he had the bearing of an immortal or a sage.

However, his eyes were filled with a cold and icy light.

"Gu Changqing, stop him quickly, otherwise Min Yue will be violated by him."

Gong Tianao said anxiously to the old man.

"Young master, rest assured. With me here, no one will be disrespectful to Miss Shangguan."

The old man, who was Gong Tianao’s personal bodyguard, spoke with a cold and merciless voice: "Boy, quickly put Miss Shangguan down, or I will not be polite to you."

"Who the hell do you think you are? Let’s see you be impolite to me!"

Lin Fan frowned and retorted coldly.

"Calm down... everyone, please calm down!"

Realizing that things were about to spiral out of control.

Luo Jiuying quickly intervened and said, "Mr. Gong, you might be misunderstanding. Miss Shangguan is currently afflicted with the Five Poison Palm and is critically endangered. Lin Fan is about to treat and detoxify her. If we delay any further, I fear Miss Shangguan’s life will be at risk."

"But... but that can’t be done by him... there can’t be physical contact between men and women, and that’s such a private area. If he, a man, does that, isn’t it just hooliganism? Anyway, I can’t let him see, I don’t agree!"

Gong Tianao’s face turned red as he shouted.

"Mr. Gong, the Five Poison Palm is a strange toxin, and here only Lin can treat it. Doctors must be compassionate, and saving a life is the priority. How can we be concerned about gender at this time? If we delay further, something bad might really happen to Miss Shangguan."

Li Yizhen explained from the side.

"This... this..."

These words left Gong Tianao at a loss for what to say.

He could only seek help with his eyes from Gu Changqing standing beside him.

"Nonsense, Miss Shangguan is an unmarried lady; how can we allow a man to deal with such private matters? Life and death are minor; losing one’s virtue is major. If this gets out, where will the Shangguan Family’s face be? How can Miss Shangguan face anyone!"

Gu Changqing stroked his beard.

He certainly knew that Gong Tianao was deeply in love with Shangguan Min Yue.

And this talented young lady would surely become a martial cultivator expert in the future.

The Gong Family had long wanted to arrange a marriage with her to jointly resist the Leng Family.

They had already proposed marriage several times.

Just yesterday, the Shangguan Family had already accepted the marriage proposal.

So, in the eyes of Gong Tianao, Shangguan Min Yue was already his wife-to-be.

How could another man be allowed to look at such private areas?

"I don’t know if the Shangguan Family cares about their face, but your Gong Family truly has no shame. You’re just a playmate, at most a bootlicker. What right do you have to decide her life or death?"

Lin Fan sneered while glaring at the two of them.

"And you, old thing, better understand that this is Medicine King House, not your Gong Family’s territory. If you dare to show killing intent towards me again, today I’ll break your bones and bury you here!"

"That’s outrageous, how dare you speak to me like that!"

Lin Fan’s arrogant words enraged Gu Changqing.

For years, everyone who came by had treated him with great respect.

And now, he was being threatened by a young upstart.

This was something he could not accept.

"Speaking to you is already more than you deserve. When I stop speaking, that will be the time of your demise!"

Lin Fan knew that he had to be completely focused while treating her.

Any disturbance in the middle could potentially ruin everything.

If he had to fight, it might as well happen beforehand.

After dealing with these arrogant people, he could then concentrate on saving her.

"What arrogance, the last person who spoke to me like this is now without a trace!"

Gu Changqing sneered coldly.

But unbeknownst to him, a figure had walked over from behind.

"You mean to say you’ve got a number of lives on your hands?"

Zhao Jiaqi, who had returned late from a phone call, although unsure of what had happened,

But from the standoff between the two parties, they were enemies, not friends.

"What’s the matter, you’re not convinced either?"

Gu Changqing gave Zhao Jiaqi a glance.

His face was full of disdain, not taking her seriously at all.

"Convinced, of course I’m convinced."

Zhao Jiaqi once again took out her work ID.

She shook it at the two of them, "I’m Dragon Teeth leader Zhao Jiaqi, and I now suspect you of violating the Martial Artist Management regulations by venting anger and killing people. You may choose to remain silent now, but if you speak, anything you say may be used as evidence and submitted to the Martial Artist Management Committee in the future. Come with me now!"

"This..."

The previously disdainful Gu Changqing suddenly gasped in shock.

The existence of Dragon Teeth held significant authority in martial artist circles.

After all, Dragon Teeth had its own hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

With the Three Emperors as its backing, even the prestigious clans had to comply obediently.

Especially since he was just a bodyguard.

If he really ended up in Dragon Teeth’s hands, the Gong Family would only think of ways to get rid of him.

Not to save his life.

After all, every martial cultivator family had more or fewer murder cases to their name.

It all depended on whether Dragon Teeth wanted to pursue the matter.

"Impossible, he has been in secluded cultivation year-round and has not displayed any bad behavior; I can guarantee that."

Gong Tianao might have been a martial cultivator failure.

But his mind was meticulous, and he reacted quickly.

Even admitting that he was boasting was better than provoking Dragon Teeth.

"So you were just boasting just now? You’re already old enough to have a beard, and yet you find it amusing to boast all day long?"

Zhao Jiaqi snorted coldly.

From the beginning to the end, she had no intention of arresting anyone.

However, this taunt instantly caused Gu Changqing’s old face to turn red.

Yet he did not dare to speak and could only hang his head in humiliation.

"Mr. Zhao, Old Gu was just spouting nonsense, but this young man harbored ill intentions. Don’t tell me Dragon Teeth is not going to handle this?"

Gong Tianao quickly pointed at Lin Fan, asking aloud with urgency.

"Which eye of yours saw him harboring ill intentions? Do you have evidence?"

Zhao Jiaqi asked with a cold laugh, hands on her hips.

"Do we really need evidence? Shangguan Min Yue is gravely injured and unconscious, yet he has been carrying her along the way and even wants to treat her. This is clearly taking liberties with a young lady of good family. Can Dragon Teeth just turn a blind eye?"

Although he was a martial cultivator failure, Gong Tianao had plenty of cunning.

To preserve his position as the primary heir,

Marrying Shangguan Min Yue was a crucial step.

Having a wife with the rare Three Mysterious Vessels,

Even if he wasn’t a martial cultivator, he could still smoothly obtain power.

Therefore, he absolutely could not allow her to be dishonored.

"All your speculations are unfounded. What’s wrong with healing and saving people? Besides, the person being saved has no objection, so what are you even arguing about here?"

Zhao Jiaqi said coldly as she put her work ID away.

"The person in question is unconscious; who can tell if she truly has no objections? Without someone to vouch, it’s not acceptable."

Gong Tianao immediately retorted with his neck stiff.

"I am the witness. I heard with my own ears Shangguan Min Yue say that she didn’t care what the cost was, she didn’t want to die, and she asked Lin Fan to save her at all costs. Moreover, apart from my testimony, there’s physical evidence — an audio recording of Shangguan Mingyue begging Lin Fan to save her, available for anyone to check. However, that will have to wait until after the situation has been resolved."

Prepared Zhao Jiaqi took out a recording pen from her small bag.

In it, one could clearly hear Shangguan Min Yue’s plea to Lin Fan.

"Besides, it’s not like it’s the first time the two have been in close contact. Everything that should and shouldn’t have been seen has already been seen. Maybe they could get married tomorrow for all you know. Who are you to come here and butt in?"

Zhao Jiaqi suddenly looked at Lin Fan with a mischievous grin.

This time, she was determined to max out his hatred towards her.
