Chapter 464: Chapter 0466: Physical Examination

Chu Ge gently shook his head, "I’m not sure whether he truly understands you, but at least he understands you better than I do."

Mu Qing snorted coldly, set down her teacup, and did not discuss this matter further with Chu Ge.

She picked up a piece of paper from beside her that only had the words "No. 4 Box Reserve Price" written on it, placed it in front of Chu Ge, and asked somewhat sternly, "I didn’t invite you here just to decide directly to auction the secret manual to you, instead, I want to know what you mean by handing over this blank paper?"

When she saw this blank paper, her first reaction was that this secret manual is worthless to him!

But now she was no longer the impulsive young girl she used to be; she had learned to calmly think and analyze.

Compared to the other papers with numbers, this blank paper intrigued her more.

A blank paper could mean it’s worthless or it could mean it’s priceless.

Either way, she was curious to meet this Chu Ge.

Chu Ge chuckled lightly, picked up the blank paper from the table, which apart from those six words, only bore fold marks.

"What does madam think this represents?" Chu Ge asked softly, his tone somewhat serene.

Mu Qing slightly narrowed her eyes at Chu Ge, and from the moment he entered, she began sensing his capabilities, not unaware of the rumors about him from the outside world.

She had also heard about the duel between Chu Ge and Elder Gui in Su City; a person capable of annihilating the Ghost Poison Sect must possess unfathomably deep martial arts. But since he entered, she couldn’t sense any True Qi within him, as if... he was just an ordinary person.

"I think what it represents doesn’t matter, what matters is what you are trying to convey?"

Chu Ge raised his eyes to meet hers, their gazes locking in mid-air, Chu Ge distinctly felt that her eyes were somewhat different from ordinary people’s.

Even though she was over forty years old, her eyes were still as clear as crystal, devoid of any impurities.

This surprised Chu Ge greatly.

Mu Qing, under the scrutiny of Chu Ge, did not feel any displeasure; her gaze remained calm as she voiced the doubts in her heart.

"Mr. Chu has been assessing me since you entered the room, but what have you discerned?"

Chu Ge smiled, "Madam, you are different from what I imagined."

"Oh?" Mu Qing smiled with restrained amusement. She wasn’t interested in how Chu Ge viewed her; her main interest was why she couldn’t sense any Spiritual Power from him.

"But, Mr. Chu, ever since you entered, I have been unable to sense any Spiritual Power from you, as if you are an ordinary person. However, your battle with Elder Gui in Su City was even talked about in Dang City."

Chu Ge did not shy away; since he assessed her, it was only fair that she assessed him in return.

Chu Ge had no intention of concealing anything because he still hoped to find an opportunity for Mu Qing to help him see if he could restore his martial arts.

"I’ve been poisoned, and all my martial arts have been sealed, so it’s normal for madam not to sense any True Qi in me," Chu Ge said nonchalantly, as if discussing a very ordinary matter.

Mu Qing was surprised, which she hadn’t anticipated. She narrowed her gaze slightly, locking her eyes on Chu Ge, slowly sweeping from his forehead downward as if extracting something, filtering Chu Ge from head to toe.

Afterward, Mu Qing furrowed her brows.

"I just scanned once and couldn’t sense any presence of poison. What kind of poison is this?"

Chu Ge gave a wry smile, and said, "If I knew what poison this was, I could have concocted an antidote myself."

Now he didn’t have any martial arts prowess, even if he wanted to use True Qi to expel all the toxins from his body, it would be futile.

Mu Qing slightly narrowed her eyes, "I understand, well, this isn’t why I called you here. What is your explanation for this blank paper?"

Chu Ge spread his hands, smiling self-deprecatingly, "Actually, there are two meanings."

"Two meanings?" Mu Qing was puzzled.

Chu Ge coughed lightly, leaning slightly forward, gave a soft chuckle, and sighed, "Because I currently lack any martial arts, like an ordinary person, this secret manual is worthless to me, because it’s useless."

After Chu Ge finished speaking, he saw Mu Qing’s face suddenly darken, her lips pressed tightly, showing her anger.

Chu Ge’s lips curled into a slight smile, then he continued, "But if I hadn’t been poisoned today, then this secret manual would be priceless to me."

Mu Qing looked in his eyes, noticed the sincerity therein, and her angry expression somewhat eased.

"Previously, I was also an Ancient Martial Artist, and martial arts are supreme in my life, absolutely not to be insulted by anyone."

This seemed to strike a chord in Mu Qing, who somewhat approvingly nodded her head. Like them, Ancient Martial Artists, their lifelong pursuit was to elevate their martial arts skills to achieve higher realms.

If not for her current special circumstances, she definitely wouldn’t auction her most cherished secret manual.

"That’s the reason for my handing over the blank paper," said Chu Ge, shrugging his shoulders and explaining to Mu Qing.

Mu Qing pondered for a moment, looked at Chu Ge somewhat appreciatively, and laughed lightly, "I must say, young man, you’re really remarkable. I was quite angry because of your blank paper, but your speech has quite cleverly taken the sting out of my anger. If you still had your martial arts, I would indeed have liked to see how proficient you really are."

For people like them, one thing was common: the challenge.

But now, since Chu Ge was undeniably like an ordinary person, Mu Qing had to temporarily suppress this thought.

"Come here," Mu Qing waved to Chu Ge, signaling him to sit beside her.

Chu Ge paused, somewhat puzzled, and subconsciously murmured internally, "Fuck! She couldn’t possibly want to..."

Seeing Chu Ge’s misunderstanding, Mu Qing’s expression darkened slightly, "What are you thinking? I just want you to come over so I can check your pulse!"

Chu Ge cleared his throat awkwardly, scratching his head with an embarrassed smile, "I didn’t think anything, I just felt as a younger person, getting too close to you wouldn’t be very polite."

"Come over here! Why so much nonsense?"

Mu Qing’s tone was slightly irate.

Chu Ge obediently walked forward, only then noticing the heavy plaster on Mu Qing’s foot.

"Madam, your foot..."

"It’s fine, just an old problem. Come over and sit down, let me check your body."

"..." Chu Ge was somewhat speechless, always finding something odd about the phrasing.
