Chapter 961: Nine hundred and fifty-six, catalyst.

Gu Chen did not know this fellow very well.

But if Gu Chen were to know the things the Ye Family Patriarch had done,

he would certainly hold a certain degree of admiration for the Ye Family Patriarch in his heart.

To attain such a position, no one was a fool, and the Ye Family Patriarch was no exception.

He was intelligent and very sharp.

He had sensed something was off but had not spoken up.

A very simple rationale was that if Gu Chen were really so ordinary,

how could he possibly have accumulated so much wealth in such a short period?

So, he did not believe Gu Chen was as simple as the information appeared.

When the next day came, Gu Chen once again visited the Ye Family.

This time, the looks Gu Chen received from everyone clearly were no longer as hostile as before.

This time, it was as if they were assessing Gu Chen.

Even their faces were filled with curiosity,

as if they wanted to see how Gu Chen was going to treat the illness.

The day before, no one had come to observe the entire treatment process.

But today was different; when the old master was taking his medicine, quite a few people surrounded him.

All were watching, as if they had discovered some treasure.

No one wanted to miss out, and Gu Chen, upon seeing this scene,

also felt incredibly uncomfortable, as if his secrets were being spied upon at this very moment.

"Family Head, could you ask these unrelated people to leave?"

At this time, Gu Chen calmly made such an inquiry to the old master.

He hoped for a simple and quiet environment,

not like now, where it felt as if he were under surveillance.

After hearing this, the old master did not show any strange reaction.

On the contrary, the Old Master seemed very calm at this time,

as if he thought Gu Chen’s words were very reasonable.

Subsequently, the old master cast his gaze around,

and then, with an unpleasant expression, he spoke to them,

"What is there for you people to see here, circling around? Do I need you to supervise me taking my medicine?"

At that moment, he spoke in a tone and attitude that was quite authoritative,

demonstrating an air of indubitability.

When they heard the Old Master’s words, even though some of them were somewhat reluctant in their hearts,

they dared not go against the Old Master’s wishes; at that time, they could only obediently leave.

Only Gu Chen and the old master were left in the room, and Gu Chen continued to inquire,

"Family Head, this is already the third day. Do you still not feel any response?"

He asked the old master with great curiosity at this time.

Because he felt that no matter what, at this stage,

the situation should have improved somewhat.

But, curiously, over such a long period,

there was no visible improvement in the old master’s physical condition.

On the contrary, it seemed like there was no difference from before.

This time, the old master’s answer to Gu Chen’s question was a bit more formal.

No longer was it as if he was joking with Gu Chen at all times.

"If you want me to be serious,

I can still feel some changes in my body.

"This feeling is very strange, it’s as if my condition is improving, yet it doesn’t seem to be."

At this time, he actually didn’t know how to explain his current physical condition to Gu Chen.

Because his condition was indeed a bit too complex.

So complex that he didn’t know how to describe it.

And when Gu Chen heard what he said,

his face also showed a look of affirmation.

He wasn’t afraid of a weak effect, only of no effect.

As long as there was some effect, it meant there was hope, so he also seemed more relaxed.

"If it’s like this then that’s the best. Make sure to stop the medication if there are any adverse reactions."

Gu Chen continued to say this to him at this time.

For Gu Chen, if there was even the slightest discomfort,

the medication must be stopped immediately, no longer to be endured.

Life is not a joke, and the Family Head nodded upon hearing this.

He then directly addressed Gu Chen.

"I’m not a child, would I not understand this simple truth?

There’s no need for you to remind me.

Rest assured, my body is quite well, I can feel it," said the Family Head to Gu Chen.

He was quite serious when he said these things, not appearing to be lying.

Gu Chen, having heard this, felt somewhat relieved and did not continue to ask the Family Head other questions.

At this time, the Family Head also continued to maintain his condition.

Doing his best to prevent any unexpected issues with his body.

One could say that he was putting a lot of effort into it.

During the treatment, Gu Chen once again inquired of the Family Head.

"I’m actually a bit curious. Do you have any strange reactions when you are not taking Chinese medicine?"

He asked the Family Head.

He was genuinely curious about the Family Head’s situation.

Because he could not understand what exactly the Family Head was thinking when not taking Chinese medicine.

He had noticed that the Family Head seemed uncomfortable whenever he did not take his herbal medicine.

So, he decided to ask the Family Head about it.

When the Family Head heard the question, he was taken aback for a moment, seemingly unsure how to answer Gu Chen’s query.

He thought about it carefully for a long while before finally giving Gu Chen this answer.

"I can’t quite explain it, but it’s as if my body knows I am sick,

urgently wanting me to take the medicine quickly.

Every time after taking the medicine, I feel as if my blood has been changed.

I feel refreshed, and my whole state seems somewhat different."

After hearing the Family Head’s response, Gu Chen became even more puzzled.

He really couldn’t understand why this sounded so strange.

What does it mean to feel uncomfortable without the medicine?

Could it be that the body really experiences a special reaction after the medicine is taken?

Gu Chen wasn’t sure, but he had learned something from past experiences.

That was, the sensation of taking Chinese medicine was completely different for ill patients compared to healthy individuals.

If a healthy person were to take Chinese medicine, they would find it extremely bitter,

but if a sick person took the same medicine,

they might find it quite palatable instead.
