Just by thinking about it, one can tell that all of this was probably the work of someone under one's control.
He truly deserves the title of a miracle doctor.
Chu Jiangli smiled to himself, thinking that it seemed he had made the right bet.
It is said that the Yu family is wholeheartedly good-hearted, and even if someone commits a heinous crime, they cannot bear to let him die right in front of them.
This practice, which he used to ridicule, now saved his life.
Despite his turbulent thoughts, the general from Chu did not loosen his grip on Yu Tang's waist.
He lamented that the doctor's physique was far too frail.
If he hadn't woken up just now, this person would probably have drowned in the hot water in the bathtub.
Normally, even if he discovered something like this, he wouldn't bother to care.
But this man is his savior after all. If he is willing to submit to him in the future, he will have won the title of the number one doctor in the martial arts world by leaving the Moon Palace.
There are only benefits and no drawbacks.
so……
"The miracle doctor must have mistaken you for someone else." Chu Jiangli held Yu Tang's waist, lifted him out of the bathtub, and placed him on the bed.
Then he took a few steps forward, as if measuring the distance. After measuring, he walked steadily back to the shelf next to the wooden barrel, grabbed a cloth and handed it to Yu Tang: "I am Chu Jiangli, the Palace Master of Liyue Palace, not some Yuan'er."
Knowing that Yu Tang was right in front of him, Chu Jiangli did not open his eyes again.
After all, it made no difference to him whether his eyes were open or closed. It was just that he didn't want outsiders to see his empty eyes.
Yu Tang had stopped coughing by this time. He took the dry towel and wrapped it around his body, and his drowsy head cleared up a bit.
The system cat jumped onto the bed, snuggling against him, its meows trembling with tears: "Host, you scared me to death! And even though I'm right here, I can't save you. I... I'm so useless..."
Hearing this, Yu Tang's heart softened, and she reached out to ruffle the system's fur: "I'm sorry, Xiao Jin, I made you worry."
"Little Jin?" Chu Jiangli asked in surprise, "Are you talking to that cat?"
Yu Tang hummed in agreement before raising his eyes to look Chu Jiangli up and down.
The man was upright, even though his face and lips looked terrible from being tormented by the poison.
But her eyebrows resembled distant mountains, her nose was high and straight, her lips were perfectly shaped, and her exposed neck was long and fair. Even the loose white undergarment couldn't hide her excellent figure.
His waist-length black hair was slightly messy, but it only made him look more charming and captivating, making it impossible to look away from him.
Suddenly noticing the conspicuous bite mark on the other person's neck, and thinking of last night, Yu Tang immediately looked away uncomfortably.
He asked tentatively, "How did you know I was a miracle doctor?"
"Because it is said that the only person living in Wulian Mountain was Yu Tang, the eldest son of the Yu family, a family of divine doctors."
Chu Jiangli pointed to his well-bandaged wounds and asked half-jokingly, "The divine doctor truly has the heart of a healer. He can even save someone like me. Aren't you afraid of being hunted down by my enemies?"
Yu Tang stared at Chu Jiangli's face.
It is said that the eyes are the most direct indicator of a person's emotions.
But now Chu Jiangli's eyes were closed and the corners of his lips were slightly curved, and Yu Tang could not see through what he was thinking at this moment.
“I have many enemies outside,” Yu Tang said. “Palace Master Chu should still remember the massacre of the Yu family thirteen years ago, right? There are plenty of people who want to eliminate me completely. If I can keep you here now, and make you, the Palace Master of Li Yue Palace, the number one martial arts master, owe me a favor, wouldn’t you have another powerful backer in the future?”
The Chu general felt a chill run down his spine.
He then smiled and said, "The idea of the divine doctor is quite unexpected."
He had thought this miracle doctor was just too kind, but now it seems he's not so stupid after all.
He said, "That's perfect, I don't want to owe anyone favors either."
"After I recover from my injuries, I will help you take revenge. You will come back to Liyue Palace with me and become my personal physician."
As he spoke, he formed his fingers into a knife shape, channeling his inner strength into his fingertips. In front of Yu Tang, he tore off a strip of evenly wide cloth from his undergarment, tied it behind his head, and asked Yu Tang, "From now on, let me protect you."
Are you willing?
Yu Tang landed on his fingers and saw through Chu Jiangli's thoughts.
This guy was deliberately showing off his skills, and he used an unyielding tone.
It seemed like he was repaying a debt of gratitude, but in reality, Chu Jiangli himself was the biggest beneficiary.
As for the basis for this thinking...
Yu Tang glanced at the system cat beside him.
The system immediately understood and replied: [Host! His favorability rating is still 0! It hasn't increased at all!]
Yu Tang thought to himself, "Just as I thought," and he wasn't annoyed.
After all, that's how he'd gotten through the previous worlds. Besides, he'd always wanted to stay with Chu Jiangli, so agreeing to this request wasn't a big deal.
Furthermore, the original owner's lifelong wish was to avenge his family, but he was hampered by his frail health and lack of powerful influence.
If Chu Jiangli is willing to help him take revenge now, it would fulfill the original owner's wish.
He countered, "This deal also benefits me quite a bit, so why wouldn't I agree?"
Chu Jiangli's smile deepened.
Suddenly remembering something, Yu Tang tentatively asked, "Does Palace Master Chu still remember what happened last night?"
"Last night?" Chu Jiangli was slightly taken aback, then shook his head and said, "I have been in a daze and do not remember what I did last night."
He frowned and asked Yu Tang, "Could it be that I have done something to offend the divine doctor?"
Looking at his clueless expression, Yu Tang twitched her lips, unsure whether to laugh or cry.
She sacrificed herself to help him detoxify, but when she woke up, not only did her affection level not increase, but she also forgot all the atrocities she had committed.
Yu Tang felt that he really owed Chu Jiangli a debt.
But actually, it's probably better that you don't remember.
To avoid embarrassment.
Just as he was about to reply to Chu Jiangli that nothing had happened, the door was suddenly broken open by Yu Qi.
A tall, somewhat dazed-looking bodyguard rushed in nervously, shouting, "Young Master, I heard a conversation! Has the Great Demon awakened?"
The two people in the house were both taken aback.
Yu Qi saw Chu Jiangli standing by the bed, his clothes disheveled, and then he saw Yu Tang, who was completely naked except for a cloth wrapped around his body.
Veins bulged on his forehead instantly, and he drew his heavy sword, slashing at Chu Jiangli: "Chu Jiangli, you scoundrel! How dare you bully my young master! I'll kill you!"
Chapter 6
Died for the villain for the sixth time (06)
Yu Tang:
He was so bewildered that he didn't even have time to stop it before Yu Qi's heavy sword slashed towards Chu Jiangli.
It arrived with a whoosh, carrying enough force to split a person in two.
But the next moment, the heavy sword was firmly held between Chu Jiangli's two jade-like fingers.
It was stuck on his shoulder and above his face, unable to fall any further.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was deathly silent.
System meows: [Host, is he...is he a monster?]
"Divine Doctor, I heard him call you 'Young Master' just now. Is he one of your men?"
Chu Jiangli's white cloth, used to cover his eyes, fluttered gently in the breeze. His fingers steadily gripped the heavy sword, which was more than half his head wide, as he asked the question.
Yu Tang understood instantly.
If he dares to say that Yu Qi is not one of his people, Chu Jiangli will definitely kill him!
“Yes, he is my man.” Yu Tang gestured to Yu Qi not to act rashly, and explained to Chu Jiangli, “I offended the Palace Master just now, please do not blame me, Palace Master Chu.”
Because the cloth covering Yu Tang was too short, Yu Qi saw many wounds on his body and subconsciously attributed them to Chu Jiangli. He shouted, "Young Master! Why are you apologizing to him?! If we hadn't picked up this blind man, you wouldn't have..."
"Yu Qi!"
Yu Tang's shout came too late. With a metallic clang, Chu Jiangli broke the heavy sword in two with two fingers, holding the other half tightly against Yu Qi's neck.
The crimson light rippled outwards; if Chu Jiangli pushed the blade forward just a little further, Yu Qi would surely be beheaded!
"Palace Master Chu!"
Yu Tang's voice finally brought Chu Jiangli back to his senses.
The man dissipated his inner force, pinning the broken sword to Yu Qi's feet, and said, "Divine Doctor, if I were you, I probably wouldn't keep such a disobedient dog by my side."
“Palace Master Chu, your words are excessive.” Yu Tang frowned: “Yu Qi is my savior. If it weren’t for his companionship back then, I certainly wouldn’t be alive today.”
Even with the villainous filter from previous worlds, and knowing that Chu Jiangli is a fragment of Wei Yuan's soul.
But Yu Tang still didn't like Chu Jiangli's way of speaking.
"Please remember, Palace Master Chu, Yu Qi is my benefactor who has been with me for thirteen years."
And you, to me, are just an ordinary patient.
He said, "Although you are highly skilled in martial arts and have a powerful background, that cannot be a reason for you to insult my benefactor."
Chu Jiangli frowned, his tone unfriendly: "Does the divine physician mean that I should apologize to him?"
He inexplicably disliked Yu Tang speaking to him in that tone.
And this Yu Qi, he's also very annoying.
There is no one left alive who dared to call him blind.
He had already spared the man's life out of respect for Yu Tang, but now he was being forced to learn a lesson.
How can one swallow this fire?
"An apology isn't necessary." Yu Tang was initially a little angry, but seeing Chu Jiangli's previously composed demeanor and awkward expression, she couldn't stay angry anymore.
"After all, you were both wrong, so now it's considered that you've evened things out, cough cough cough..."
