Chapter 238 Disrespectful to elders, what a scumbag!

"Yue'er," Gu Yuanen said, stepping out of the room after hearing that Yue Ling had left. He looked at Gu Qingyue and asked, "How is Uncle's injury?"

Gu Qingyue turned around and went back into the room.

Hey, what do you think?

Gu Qingyue never expected that her impromptu act would save her uncle; what a coincidence!

"It hurts," Qin Muning grimaced, showing no awareness of being an elder.

Gu Qingyue remembered that there was a beautiful woman next door, and suddenly lowered her voice, her gossip-loving nature taking over.

"Hey, who's that pretty girl next door? I kept hearing her call you Brother Qin. You got hurt saving her, right? She's very important to you?"

Hearing her words, Qin Muning's lips twitched. She was so gossipy on their first meeting!

Maybe we shouldn't acknowledge this niece as our own!

"Oh? Really? What about your fiancée?" Gu Yuanen also came closer, his eyes sparkling.

"Ouch, that hurts, I'm dizzy," Qin Muning said, and then spectacularly 'fainted,' lying flat with her eyes tightly closed.

Oh no! The 90-degree mummy has turned into a 180-degree mummy!

It's not fun!

At this moment, Qin Muning thought to himself: This pair of clowns doesn't respect their elders, I don't want to acknowledge them anymore!

Gu Qingyue and Gu Yuanen: Disrespectful to elders, scumbags!

After Gu Qingyue settled Qin Muning in, she went to the next room.

Gu Yuanen did not go this time to avoid suspicion!

Boys and girls should not sit together after the age of seven, especially since the person in question was someone he didn't even know.

"Who are you?" the woman in yellow asked weakly, leaning against the bed.

Gu Qingyue looked her up and down, and thought, "Tsk tsk, she really is a sickly beauty!"

She's so badly injured yet still manages to maintain her delicate and beautiful appearance; she's truly stunning!

"Who are you, the one who saved you?" Gu Qingyue asked casually.

Although I roughly know her identity through my conversation with Xiaoyue, I still need to ask her in person.

"Where is Brother Qin? Is he alright?" The woman ignored Gu Qingyue's scrutiny; she was eager to know how Brother Qin was doing.

Brother Qin saved her twice, and even if she were to die, she would make sure that Brother Qin was safe and sound.

“He’s good, better than you,” Gu Qingyue said, raising an eyebrow.

Hearing this, the woman felt relieved.

"I am Wen Qing, the only daughter of Elder Wen of Medicine Valley. I came down the mountain to find my cousin."

Wen Qing remained silent for a long time before speaking.

“My cousin Wen Lan is kind and lively. Because she was playful, she ran away from home a few months ago. I came down the mountain to find her, and she found me, but she didn’t recognize me anymore.”

As Wen Qing spoke, her eyes reddened, and tears welled up in them.

Gu Qingyue's heart sank. She didn't recognize her? What did that mean?

"I used a sleeping potion to knock my cousin unconscious before I could steal her away, but..." Wen Qing's tears finally flowed.

Gu Qingyue: "Where did she steal it from? Who arrested her?"

"Liujintang," Wen Qing's eyes, which had just been fragile, revealed hatred.

Gu Qingyue: !!!

She knew it! That Liujintang was no good!

"And then?" Gu Qingyue naturally knew that she had also been captured by Liujintang and had been whipped by that Eagle Master, but she didn't say, and couldn't say.

Wen Qing wiped away her tears and continued, "I had my junior brother take her away, but we didn't go far before the people from Liujintang caught up with us. My kung fu is only so-so, but I fought desperately to help my junior brother and the others escape, but I was captured myself."

At this point, a hint of fear flashed in Wen Qing's eyes.

“Liujintang…is terrifying,” Wen Qing said at the end.

Seeing that she was so weak that she could barely lean against the cushion and was about to slide down, Gu Qingyue didn't ask any more questions.

She helped Wen Qing lie down, checked her pulse, and then left the room.

Gu Qingyue was now certain that Liujintang had a big secret!

However, I heard Mu Yun Chu say that the Liu Jin Tang is a powerful force that cannot be easily dealt with.

Therefore, we must wait for the right opportunity and not act rashly.

Who is behind them?

With this question in mind, Gu Qingyue returned to her room, quickly entered her spatial dimension to wash up, and only then did she have time to look at the Iron-Eating Beast.

Lift the felt cloth, and it's still asleep.

I wonder how much sleeping potion those Thunderbolt Hall guys were given, that they're sleeping so soundly!

Gu Qingyue went back to the pharmacy, rummaged around, found a bottle of Western medicine she had stored away before, and gave the little guy an injection.

Soon after, the iron-eating beast woke up.

Looking at its adorable little face, Gu Qingyue couldn't help but smile.

If the little fox were here, it would probably be very happy to have a companion!

Gu Qingyue heated up a box of goat milk for the little guy, but seeing how happily it drank it, she hesitated again.

What to eat? She had no idea, and there was no bamboo in the space. What should she do?

Fruit should be fine... right?

Gu Qingyue went to the fruit grove and picked two pears and an apple. She tried to feed them to the little guy, but he wasn't interested at all. He only took one bite of the apple and then threw it away.

She left the space dejectedly, thinking that she should find a suitable bamboo forest later and release the little guy back into the wild. Wild animals are more resilient when they live in the wild.

Gu Qingyue was racking her brains to recall where there were bamboo forests in the mountains she had visited when she was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Who?"

"Moon, it's me," Gu Yuanen called from outside.

"Come in," Gu Qingyue said, opening the door before it was time for bed.

Seeing Gu Yuanen standing under the eaves stamping his feet, the snow had not completely melted and the weather was very cold.

She quickly pulled Gu Yuanen into the house and closed the door.

"Little sister, this is not right," Gu Yuanen said, still not having reacted when she saw her close the door.

"Just consider me still Doctor Gu," Gu Qingyue said, sitting down casually in the chair.

It was amusing to see Fourth Brother standing there, looking somewhat helpless.

"Sit down," Gu Qingyue said, handing him a cup of hot tea. "Why do we siblings need to be so formal? We can talk about it on more important occasions later."

Gu Qingyue hadn't said yet that the two of them had slept together since they were little sprouts, until they were born naked by their mother, a total of ten months.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuanen suddenly laughed.

He's being old-fashioned. They used to share a room when they were kids, hahaha.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuanen sat down in the chair next to Gu Qingyue, the two of them very close.

Without realizing it, the slight sense of distance that had been there when they first recognized each other had completely disappeared.

"Moon, Uncle said he rescued Miss Wenqing from the caravan of Liujintang."

"Liujintang Motorcade?"

"Well, my uncle originally came to Nanchong Pass to inspect the shops in Zhucheng. However, he saw a caravan outside Qihe Town. He didn't pay much attention to it at first, but as he passed by, he heard a woman's sobbing coming from the carriage. He thought it sounded familiar, so he rescued her. During the fight, he found out that there were women in three carriages, seven or eight of them. In the end, he only managed to save Wen Qing."

"What about the other women?"

Gu Yuanen shook his head. "My uncle said that they were outnumbered. After rescuing Miss Wen and the other girl, they retreated into the mountains. His guards held off the others. Later, they encountered a pack of wolves in the mountains, and then they met you. I don't know anything else."

After hearing this, Gu Qingyue felt even more heavy-hearted.
