Chapter 342: Chapter 342: Frustrated and Defeated_1

"What’s the matter?"

Given that he had already accepted a favour, it was difficult for Su Chengyu to refuse.

"My father-in-law was a soldier in his youth and was injured in battle, leaving him with a lingering illness. Although he’s been taking medicine over the years, he’s been getting sicker as he grows older. His chronic illness has recently flared up and he has been bedridden for a month. Famous doctors from Jiangdong, even from across the Longjiang Four Provinces, are powerless to help him. I wonder if Mr. Su has a way to cure him?"

"I’ve heard there’s a divine doctor in Jiangyang named Wu Taisheng, whose medical skills are remarkable. Can’t he cure him?" Su Chengyu asked nonchalantly.

"Doctor Wu’s medical expertise is indeed exceptional; if not for his prescriptions, my father-in-law wouldn’t have lived this long. But now that the chronic illness has worsened, even Doctor Wu has declared himself powerless," Chen Yuanheng explained.

"After the auction ends, I can find time to see him. But I must tell you, I’m not a professional doctor and I might not be able to cure him. You could bid for the Yuan-increasing Pills for him to consume. Although the condition will not be cured, he should be able to live for another two or three years."

Su Chengyu had very little interest in becoming involved. Chronic diseases were difficult to cure. To him, it was not really challenging, but he would need to use mana.

Su Chengyu did not want to reveal his Cultivator identity directly.

"Indeed, the Yuan-increasing Pills can prolong life, but if we could cure his chronic illness and then give him the elixir, my father-in-law could live for several more years. If Mr. Su has a viable medical treatment, I will definitely do my best to meet your reward demands."

Chen Yuanheng did seem to care about his father-in-law quite a bit, and Su Chengyu nodded silently in response.

After Chen Yuanheng left, Su Chengyu quickly put away all the ingredients. He planned to take the two remaining spiritual herbs at the auction that evening, then he would consider his trip to Jiangyang City successful.

Upon returning, he could immediately start alchemy. His abilities would advance to the ninth level of Qi-Refining, giving him enough power to stand against lower-ranked Great Grandmasters.

But the situation with Su Xiaoxiao had not been resolved. Even if Su Chengyu managed to make Xuanling Pill, he dared not consume it. He would undoubtedly turn into dust under the heavenly tribulation, dying without trace.

Having stored all his ingredients, he received a call from Gu Ying, and Little Shuang’s voice could be heard through the phone.

"Godfather, didn’t you promise to take me out? Why haven’t you come yet?" asked Little Shuang in a cute voice.

"I will be there in no time," Su Chengyu replied with a smile.

"Do hurry then, I will be waiting for you at home," Little Shuang cheerfully replied.

After hanging up, Su Chengyu got ready to leave for Gu Ying’s house. As he was about to step out the door, he heard a knock.

Su Chengyu sent his Divine Sense to see who was outside. Recognizing it was Fang Yue, he went to open the door and asked, "Why are you here again? Has it not been 24 hours yet?"

"Why do you have to be so indifferent, Mr. Su? I haven’t offended you, have I?"

Fang Yue was taken aback by Su Chengyu’s cold reception, especially because she had specifically come bearing gifts. She felt wronged.

"How did you know my surname is Su? Have you been investigating me?" Su Chengyu asked with displeasure.

"No, no! Don’t misunderstand! I own this hotel. Since you weren’t willing to disclose your name, I had to check with the front desk. The Demon Slayer Department inquired about you yesterday, but I didn’t tell them anything," Fang Yue hurriedly explained.

"You’ve met representatives of the Demon Slayer Department?"

"Yes! I’ve taken the Detoxification Pill. I’m fine now. They told me that if you hadn’t suppressed the toxin for me, I’d be dead by the time they arrived, and the Detoxification Pill wouldn’t have worked," said Fang Yue hastily.

"So now that you’ve been cured, why do you still come around?" Su Chengyu continued, maintaining his aloof demeanor.

"Mr. Su, you’re very unapproachable. I’ve come bearing gifts; won’t you at least invite me in?" said Fang Yue.

"I’ve said there’s no need for gratitude. I have things to attend to, so please keep it short."

Given that Su Chengyu was in a rush to take his god-daughter shopping, he didn’t have the time or patience to engage any further with Fang Yue.

Fang Yue’s attempts to approach Su were met with indifference, which left her feeling awkward. However, her mind did not work like that of an ordinary woman.

She had no interest in men who were completely devoted to her, but instead, a man who treated her with indifference intrigued her even more.

"Could I invite you to lunch today?" Seeing Su Chengyu becoming increasingly impatient, Fang Yue quickly asked.

"No," Su Chengyu flatly refused.

"Why not? It won’t take too much of your time, and it’d be a small favor for you, but to me, it’d repay a life-saving favor. I promise, it wouldn’t feel like a burden to me," pleaded Fang Yue, unable to let it go.

"I’m busy this afternoon."

Exasperated, Su Chengyu thought to himself, ’What about back when I saved your life? I don’t remember you being this eager. You’re being too damn two-faced. I just won’t give you the satisfaction, then!’

"What about this evening?" Fang Yue asked persistently.

"Busy again tonight, I have to attend the auction. Alright, I’ve accepted your gift, and your gratitude. You may leave now," Su Cheng replied indifferently.

Snatching the gift from Fang Yue, he shut his door, effectively shooing her away. Fang Yue, the mistress of the Fang family, and a renowned beauty in Jiangyang, had never been treated so rudely by a man.

"You... Humph!"

Unable to contain her rage, Fang Yue stormed off with a huff.

Having entered the elevator, Fang Yue fumed, stomping her feet and cursing to herself, "What’s so special about you! I’ve got my pride too, you know! I was being so polite, but look how you treated me! Infuriating, infuriating!"

Through his Divine Sense, Su Chengyu caught a glimpse of Fang Yue’s petulant tantrum, and he chuckled. Seeing Miss Fang losing her temper did provide some amusement, after all.

Su Chengyu took the gift left by Fang Yue to his car. Starting the car, he headed straight to Gu Ying’s house.

As soon as he entered, Little Shuang jumped up and landed a kiss on his cheek, calling him "godfather" sweetly.

"Little Shuang, you are so kind. Let’s go; your godfather will take you shopping for gifts."

"You’ve already brought a gift, a very valuable one at that. You don’t need to spoil us further," interjected Gu Ying.

"Not a problem, let’s go." Su Chengyu replied with a smile.

"Then I won’t go. You take Little Shuang. I bought some groceries this morning. If you wouldn’t mind, why don’t we have lunch at home for today?" Gu Ying had bought quite a bit of food from the market in the morning, planning to cook Su Chengyu a meal to show her appreciation.

"There’s no need to go through such trouble, we can eat out," replied Su Chengyu.

"Godfather, my mom’s cooking is really delicious, you should try it," Little Shuang chimed in.

"Alright then, thank you for the trouble."

"No trouble at all, I just hope you won’t find my cooking displeasing," Gu Ying was thrilled that Su Chengyu had accepted her offer.

Hosting a home meal was an intimate gesture, and it’s generally not offered unless the relationship is very close.

Su Chengyu left with Little Shuang, while Gu Ying busied herself in the kitchen. She had not cooked for a man in many years, so she put a lot of effort into this meal.

The sweet and unfamiliar feeling it gave her made Gu Ying very happy.
