Chapter 606: Chapter 0608: The Poison Reaches the Marrow

Mr. Nangong sensed a whiff of decay akin to love as he scrutinized Chu Ge. By this time, he had already misconstrued the relationship between Nangong Man Sha and Chu Ge.

Chu Ge knew that Nangong Man Sha’s intention was simply to drive Shao Gang away, so he didn’t push her away or dodge when she drew close, but stood his ground without moving.

He quietly watched Shao Gang, a smile on his face.

Nangong Man Sha winked at Shao Gang, "Doctor Shao, please go ahead."

Since Nangong Man Sha had put it that way, he had no choice but to leave.

Shao Gang took a deep breath and said to Mr. Nangong, "Old Master, you rest well, we’ll come back this time tomorrow to treat you."

Mr. Nangong’s entire mind was now focused on the relationship between Nangong Man Sha and Chu Ge, he was particularly curious about it. So, when he heard what Shao Gang said, he didn’t react much, just nodded and hummed in agreement, letting him be.

Shao Gang was already feeling the imbalance, but he couldn’t show it now, especially not in front of Mr. Nangong.

He glanced resentfully at Chu Ge, then turned and left.

For a moment, only Chu Ge, Nangong Man Sha, and the Old Master remained in the hospital room.

Even after Shao Gang had left for a while, Nangong Man Sha still hadn’t let go of Chu Ge’s arm, which only confirmed the Old Master’s speculations.

Mr. Nangong looked at Nangong Man Sha with a chuckle, pointing at Chu Ge, "Man Sha, why don’t you introduce us?"

Noticing the smile on Mr. Nangong’s face, Chu Ge realized that Nangong Man Sha was still clinging to him. He subtly moved to the side, putting some distance between himself and Nangong Man Sha.

Nangong Man Sha realized that her actions were inappropriate, so she quickly stepped back and said with a laugh to the Old Master, "Grandpa, what are you talking about? There’s nothing like what you’re thinking between Mr. Chu and me."

"Oh?" Mr. Nangong played along with the pretense, "Nothing like what?"

Nangong Man Sha gave Mr. Nangong a reproachful look, huffing, "Grandpa, you’re bad! Teasing your granddaughter again!"

"Ha ha ha," Mr. Nangong laughed heartily. Nodding, he honestly found Chu Ge’s appearance to his liking, just unsure about what Chu Ge did for a living.

Nangong Man Sha knew her grandfather had misunderstood, and fearing that he might say something embarrassing in front of Chu Ge, she quickly interjected, "Grandpa, this is the Chu Ge I’ve often mentioned to you. The two bottles of Spiritual Liquid I brought you were gifts from him."

Mr. Nangong had already guessed Chu Ge’s identity but was more interested in his other role.

"Is he really just someone you brought to see to my illness?"

Nangong Man Sha nodded emphatically, "Of course, he really is just here to treat you, Grandpa."

Mr. Nangong thought Nangong Man Sha was just being shy, so he decided to not tease her further—there would be plenty of time for that.

Putting aside his playfulness, Mr. Nangong turned serious and said to Chu Ge, "Man Sha told me of your abilities, but are you confident you can cure me?"

Chu Ge nodded, "To cure the stubborn illness in your body, it will only take a few minutes."

He had assessed the situation through the glass earlier, objectively evaluating the Old Master’s condition. Now, without the glass barrier and after probing once more, he made a new determination.

Admittedly, Shao Gang did possess skills, and he almost certainly approached the Old Master with ulterior motives.

The treatment Shao Gang administered earlier had in fact restored quite a bit of the Old Master’s health, whereas previously, the Old Master’s condition had been markedly weaker.

This clearly indicated that Shao Gang had held back when treating the Old Master, perhaps not exerting full effort at all.

However, Shao Gang’s intentions had no bearing on him; his goal was to cure the Old Master’s illness.

Mr. Nangong frowned upon hearing Chu Ge claim it would only take minutes, obviously thinking Chu Ge was boasting.

"Man Sha, are you sure about the person you’ve brought in?"

Nangong Man Sha, seeing her grandfather suddenly get upset, hurriedly explained, "Grandpa, he’s telling the truth. I’ve seen with my own eyes how he regrew someone’s arms in just a few minutes."

Mr. Nangong remained doubtful. "Doctor Shao is known as a Divine Doctor in the world of martial arts; even after treating me for so many days without full certainty of curing my stubborn illness, can the person you brought really cure me in a matter of minutes?"

Easier said than sung!

"Mr. Nangong, not having seen something before doesn’t mean it won’t happen. Since you are skeptical, why not give it a try?" Chu Ge spoke up.

"As for why Doctor Shao hasn’t cured you after so many days of treatment, yet I say it will take only a few minutes, perhaps contemplate that question after I truly cure your illness within a few minutes?"

Chu Ge approached Mr. Nangong’s bedside, extending a hand.

Inner doubt lingered in Mr. Nangong’s heart, but his fervent desire for health was strong; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been seeking expensive medical treatments.

Watching her grandfather hesitate, Nangong Man Sha stepped forward to persuade, "Grandpa, think of it as just giving it a try, what if it really works?"

After a moment of consideration, Mr. Nangong seemed to gather his courage and lifted his hand to place it in Chu Ge’s.

Before long, he felt a warm current flowing gently from the palm of his hand, distinctly different from the sensations during Shao Gang’s treatments.

This warmth trickled into his body, bringing a sense of comfort like he’d never experienced before.

Mr. Nangong closed his eyes slowly, beginning to enjoy the sensation quietly.

However, the comfort didn’t last too long before he felt a jab at his heart, prompting a frown from the sudden pain.

Subsequently, various parts of his body experienced a similar pain to differing degrees.

The pain was bearable; it made him feel extremely uncomfortable rather than being too intense.

The True Qi Chu Ge injected had the effect of Bone Marrow Cleansing; he feared that lingering toxins would have penetrated deep into the Old Master’s bone marrow due to his prolonged illness.

The brief pain Mr. Nangong felt was the side effect of the True Qi extracting the toxins from his body.

Three minutes later, Chu Ge withdrew his energy, placing Mr. Nangong’s hand back on the bed.
