Clearly, this information must have been leaked by Mr. Ouyang himself, but Chu Ge had no intention of holding it against him—after all, he wasn’t planning to hide anything to begin with.

"So, Miss Man Sha’s appearance on this cruise is solely for me?" Chu Ge said with a smile.

"Exactly!" Nangong Man Sha nodded, "I initially planned to go directly to Shanghai to find Mr. Chu, but according to Xia Tian, you insisted on coming to the cruise. I had no choice but to follow."

As she spoke, Nangong Man Sha gave Chu Ge a coquettish look, "But Mr. Chu, you really are quite willful. Xia Tian and the others must have warned you, right? There’s a mixed bag of people on this cruise, and chaos might ensue. Why did you still choose to come?"

Her tone and demeanor were akin to a wife chiding her husband, a mix of feigned annoyance and anger.

While saying this, Nangong Man Sha had already walked over to Chu Ge and casually took a seat at the table.

Chu Ge stood up from his chair and retreated a few steps without a trace, "Since we know it’s dangerous aboard, Miss Man Sha, you could have just waited for me in Shanghai. Why bother falling into danger with me?"

However, Nangong Man Sha didn’t respond to his question and rolled her eyes at him, "You heartless man, I’m willing to die with you, and yet you still speak so impolitely. Plus, what are you evading for? I’m not going to eat you!"

It had to be said, the pose that Nangong Man Sha struck, along with her tone, would have made any other man unable to restrain themselves by now, yet there remained a trace of clarity deep within Chu Ge’s eyes.

"Haha, Miss Man Sha is jesting. Your two bodyguards are right outside the door. If I did anything improper, I believe they would rush in instantly," Chu Ge said with a laugh, seemingly offhand.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Man Sha’s expression subtly changed, but she no longer behaved as before and stood up, "No more jokes, to tell you the truth, my purpose on this cruise is indeed for Mr. Chu."

Chu Ge let out a cold laugh, "For me? Then why did you arrange that gambling game before?"

"People are unpredictable!" Nangong Man Sha said with a light chuckle, "I just wanted to see Mr. Chu’s skills. Now it seems that Mr. Chu’s skills are even more formidable than the rumors suggest. Of course, if I’ve left Mr. Chu with any unpleasant memories, I apologize here and now, and please don’t take it to heart!"

This woman was like a vibrantly colored poisonous snake—she appears incredibly beautiful, but conceals a lethal danger!

"Speaking of which, all I did was cure Mr. Ouyang’s hidden malady, such a minor skill hardly seems worth your family’s attention?"

"How can it not be worth it?" At this point, Nangong Man Sha had already sat back in her seat, lifted her wine glass, and smirked, "It seems Mr. Chu is still unaware of the value of your medical skills. Let me offer a little reminder, does Mr. Chu have any idea how many families there are in Beijing?"

"I’m afraid there are no less than a hundred!"

"It seems that Mr. Chu has some understanding as well." Nangong Man Sha spoke softly: "Does Mr. Chu know that the reason our great families can be so splendid is partly because our families have old patriarchs at the helm. As the saying goes, having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. The merits and connections the old patriarchs have accumulated over decades are an incredibly powerful force. It is this force that sustains our families."

"What Miss Man Sha means is..." Speaking up to here, Chu Ge already had some inkling of what she was implying.

Indeed, Nangong Man Sha took a deep breath: "But as times change and the years pass, the heroes of yesteryear are now in their twilight years. Moreover, they all have survived through that era of war and, to some extent, have hidden ailments in their bodies. These issues were manageable in their youth and strength, but now that they are old and frail, those hidden ailments have turned into fatal dangers!"

Speaking to this point, even Chu Ge showed a fleeting complexity in his gaze.

How many families are there in Beijing? In these families, almost all have the presence of an old patriarch. Once people reach old age, they will inevitably suffer from various diseases. If Chu Ge could cure these hidden ailments in the bodies of these elders and restore their health, He would thus accrue an incomparable network of terrifying connections!

"What do you think, Mr. Chu? Do you now realize your worth?" Nangong Man Sha drained the remaining red wine in her glass in one go and looked at Chu Ge: "I have come this time with the authorization of the old master, which means, I represent the entire Nangong Family, wanting to form a partnership with Mr. Chu."

"Partnership?"

"That’s right." Nangong Man Sha nodded: "To be honest, even if Mr. Chu possesses divine medical skills, the safety of the patriarchs is far too crucial. Thus, those families would probably not dare let you try. However, our Nangong Family is willing to be the stepping stone for Mr. Chu, persuading the other families!"

"There is no such thing as a free lunch. What do you want to gain from me?" Chu Ge did not immediately agree, instead he asked.

"Quite simple, we just hope that Mr. Chu can first cure our family old master’s health issues, and, at the same time, establish a friendship with our Nangong Family!"

It must be said that Nangong Man Sha’s move was extremely clever. Establishing a relationship with Chu Ge meant also connecting with other families. And her Nangong Family would undoubtedly use all efforts to facilitate Chu Ge’s networking with other families. After all, the more connections Chu Ge had, the more they could share!

Moreover, it was only about establishing relations, without forcibly asking Chu Ge to do anything, so there wouldn’t be any hard feelings.

"However, although Mr. Chu has shown off his gambling skill, people have yet to witness Mr. Chu’s medical skill." Nangong Man Sha suddenly looked at Chu Ge, smiling.

"Medical skill?" Chu Ge chuckled: "Miss Man Sha quite charmful, but as of now, you are still a virgin, aren’t you?"

"What?" Nangong Man Sha’s pretty face blushed, but a flash of shock crossed her eyes as she covered her mouth and laughed: "Mr. Chu is really so indecent, to bring up such an embarrassing subject in front of me. But still, that’s not enough!"

"Not enough?"

Chu Ge murmured to himself, gazing at Nangong Man Sha, and then suddenly said: "You have a problem with your body... Someone has performed acupuncture on you, right? Moreover, it was someone from the Ancient Martial World who used their Inner Strength to do it!"

"Hmm." Nangong Man Sha hesitated for a moment but ultimately nodded. Yet she quickly laughed again: "That doesn’t count. The nearby major families all know about this. Maybe, Mr. Chu just happened to hear about it from Mr. Ouyang?"

"The person who did the acupuncture for you must have said that you wouldn’t live past twenty-five years old!"
