Chapter 194: Who’s Miss Gu?

The problem was that he himself couldn’t see Gu Xiqiao even if he wanted to!

Zhu Yuan glanced at Rong Feishuang. “Don’t you always go around doing medical checkups for free around this time of year?”

“It’s because I’m about to leave that I want to see her before I go...” Rong Feishuang sighed softly as he looked at the lively youngsters in the lab, coming to a sudden realization that he truly was old and past his prime. “Not only did she save Baili Bin, but I’m also indebted to her too.”

His decision to let Hua Jingya try to treat Baili Bin almost caused irreversible damage, and if it weren’t for Gu Xiqiao, how could he face Baili Qu?

“Master, this isn’t your fault. The Hua family had always been renowned for birthing generations of good doctors, and anyone else would have believed in them too if they were in your shoes.” Zhu Yuan knew what Rong Feishuang was thinking. “Miss Gu probably doesn’t even care about it.”

She had always been relaxed and nonchalant about everything, or else he wouldn’t have gotten that cell fusion patent.

At the end of the day, all she cared about was the patients’ well-being and health more than anything else.

Rong Feishuang looked back at him seriously. “That might be the case, but I can’t take advantage of her.”

“I know.” Zhu Yuan glanced at his phone. “She probably won’t be coming today, but I’ll try my best to convince her to come tomorrow.” Hopefully she won’t be lazy when the time comes!

Rong Feishuang nodded and breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could leave, he saw two foreigners enter the lab in a rush. “Why are there foreigners here?”

“Miss Gu created a small research team, and these two are the only foreigners in it.” Zhu Yuan replied. “Master, give us a couple of years, and this lab and research team will definitely shock you!”

Many people in the International Medical Association wanted to get in the team to no avail, but these two were picked out by Gu Xiqiao herself. Even though no one knew why she did this, everyone believed in her so they didn’t hold any prejudice toward the two foreigners.

Even without Zhu Yuan saying so, Rong Feishuang knew that it was just a matter of time before this research team created by Gu Xiqiao would impact the entire world.

After escorting his master out of the laboratory, Zhu Yuan was met with the two foreigners. “Mr. Zhu, CIOMs just released news that they had a breakthrough in cell fusion technology and that they are about to create a research team too! Many people are heading there as we speak!”

“Do the two of you want to go back?” Zhu Yuan asked with raised eyebrows.

The duo immediately shook their hands in refusal. “Oh goodness no! Of course not!”

After all, not only have they already completed research on cell fusion, but were researching more advanced technologies with each passing day!

“It’s just that Miss Gu gave us something earlier...” The other foreigner showed Zhu Yuan a few sheets of paper with a bitter expression. “She says to practice according to these instructions...”

Perhaps only Gu Xiqiao would have the bright idea of having two foreign doctors practice Chinese kung fu.

Zhu Yuan took a quick glance at the papers before patting their shoulders. “If that’s what she said, then you two have to practice even if it makes you cry! Doctors need healthy and strong bodies too, good luck.”

Thank goodness he didn’t have to practice anything like that since he was originally from the ancient martial arts world!

He had no idea that he would get a special parcel from Gu Xiqiao that night.

[Beauty Qiao, is your goal to create the medical team with the most battle prowess in the world?] The system spirit asked, ducking back into the void as if to say that even it didn’t know how to follow Gu Xiqiao’s train of thought anymore.

Gu Xiqiao stood in front of the canvas, deep in thought. “The medical team with the most battle prowess in the world...” She was greatly enthused by the idea.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang, and upon opening the door there was a fit-looking young man in a black suit and sunglasses.

The young man stood there nervously at the door, and was startled when the one that opened the door was a young lady that seemed to have an air to her that was both alluring and cold, and it was hard to even look straight at her.

He finally knew what the dubious stare Yi Tong gave him before he came here meant. “Hello, Miss, I’m looking for Boss...Boss Jiang.”

Gu Xiqiao nodded and opened the door wider to let him in, and as she was about to turn around and call Jiang Shuxuan, the man in question had already made his way down the stairs.

Jiang Shuxuan looked at Jiu Tong with a cold stare. “Jiu Tong, what are you looking at?”

A shiver immediately ran from head to toe, and Jiu Tong immediately snapped his gaze away from Gu Xiqiao.

‘F*ck! Why is Boss so scary?!’

Gu Xiqiao took out a pot of tea from the kitchen before resuming her work on her painting, while Jiu Tong sat on the sofa, and if one didn’t know better, they would have thought that it was made of needles instead of cloth from his expression.

At the same time, he was greatly surprised that Jiang Shuxuan didn’t have any indication of having the girl leave anytime soon as he gave his report.

“Qiao Qiao,” Jiang Shuxuan called out. “Come look at this.”

Gu Xiqiao broke out of her artsy world and looked over in Jiang Shuxuan’s direction, seeing a black cube.

[Ding! Chain Mission Activated: Resolve the problems that the black cube has brought to the ancient martial arts world!]

[Mission Accomplishment Reward: 10000 points!]

[Mission Failure will result in death!]

Gu Xiqiao listened calmly to the mechanical system notification that sounded in her head as she walked toward the table, sending her mental power surging toward the black cube as she did.

Jiu Tong stared in confusion at Jiang Shuxuan, not knowing why the latter called Gu Xiqiao over before he felt a large and encompassing mental pressure that almost suffocated him, and he had only felt mental power of such a degree from Jiang Shuxuan!

Jiu Tong broke out in a cold sweat as he looked at the thin girl, his eyes widening uncontrollably.

“Oh, sorry.” Upon seeing Jiu Tong’s pained expression out of the corner of her eye, Gu Xiqiao rubbed her nose sheepishly and retracted a portion of her mental power. “Brother Jiang, can you let me keep this so that I can research it?”

Such mental power and control...

Half-dead Jiu Tong: I thought Boss was already scary enough, but this girl doesn’t lose to him at all in that department!

Murong Miaoxue had already started her ascent in the ancient martial arts world and was currently battling nonstop with the demon girl.

If those people knew that such a scary, mysterious girl was by Boss’ side, would they cry to death?

Jiu Tong immediately respected Gu Xiqiao.

“Alright, but make sure to prioritize your safety.” A jade container appeared in Jiang Shuxuan’s hand out of nowhere, and he put the black cube into the box before handing it to Gu Xiqiao. “I’ll be heading to the site where the incident happened, you want to come with?”

It was a rare event that Gu Xiqiao was so interested in something, so he plotted to bring her there with him.

There were a lot of ‘strangers’ in the housing area lately, so he couldn’t let her out of protection with peace of mind.

She wanted to go, but she remembered that she had something else to do so she declined with a sigh. “I’ll go when I have the chance, I have to fetch Little Hua later.”

Jiang Shuxuan: ...I should have thrown him away from I had the chance!

Hua Youlin suddenly sneezed and glanced over at his deskmate. “Are you making fun of my golden turtle?”

Deskmate: “...Why would you think that? Your gold turtle is beautiful!”

Hua Youlin: “...” He didn’t think it at first, but now he was even more suspicious!

After the bell rang, Hua Youlin kept his things and walked down the stairs together with Dalin, who was quite surprised. “Sister Gu came to fetch you today?”

Gu Xiqiao had always had Luo Wenlang bring fetch Hua Youlin together with him, after all.

“Yeah.” Hua Youlin nodded. He didn’t know the reason she did so, but he was still quite happy.

The two split at a fork in the road.

Hua Youlin walked toward the other road that wasn’t as jammed with vehicles as the main entrance of the school was, and where people were sparse.

He actually breathed a sigh of relief when she told him that she would fetch him there.

It would have been fine if she had come with Jiang Shuxuan, but if she came by herself, she would definitely drive that pink atrocity...Pink car. What? Who talked smack about her car? Not him!

At the same time.

Jiang Shuxuan had already returned to the ancient martial arts world. He was actually quite cautious of the black cube that appeared out of nowhere and didn’t really want to hand it to Gu Xiqiao when she asked for it. He knew that she was strong, but he couldn’t help worrying, but at the same time he didn’t want to refuse her, so he gave it to her along with a jade box of seals.

That way, it could protect her from the black cube and summon him there whenever an accident might occur.

Upon thinking of this, he rubbed the jade pendant hanging on his neck to calm himself down.

Jiu Tong came back together with Jiang Shuxuan, and he was about to return to his base before he was stopped by the butler. “Mr. Jiu Tong, Madam would like to invite you in.”

“Butler Jiang, please call me Mr. Jiu.”

Butler Jiang: “Alright, Mr. Jiu Tong.”

Jiu Tong: “...” And so he wordlessly walked into the Jiang Manor.

“Madam Jiang.” He bowed his head politely. Jiang Shuxuan was their boss, so they weren’t confined to the rules and customs of the ancient martial arts world.

As a member of the Special Defense Force, they even had more power than the general populace of the ancient martial arts world.

To put it another way, other than getting on the good graces of the Jiang family, many people would also try to butter them up because they had access to Cyberspace too.

Of course, the members of the Special Defense Force answered to no one but Jiang Shuxuan, and even if it were Madam Jiang that were questioning them, they wouldn’t even bat an eyelash.

Madam Jiang already knew of this, of course, so she didn’t bother much on his attitude and only asked: “Did you see anyone else when you went to Shuxuan’s place today?”

“No, I did not.” Jiu Tong replied without even a change in expression.

“Are you sure?” Madam Jiang squinted slightly, her sudden cold demeanor the spitting image of Jiang Shuxuan.

But what was it when compared with Miss Gu’s mental pressure? Jiu Tong didn’t waver in the least. “Yes, Madam.”

“Fine, you can go now.” Madam Jiang waved him away, knowing that she couldn’t make these underlings of Jiang Shuxuan budge...But that was a good thing, at least.

Jiu Tong stepped out of the door and pat his sleeves, mulling over whether he should ask Boss for praise later on.

Jiu Tong finally got to where Yi Tong and the others were, but before he could return, he was blocked by someone that he recognized immediately. “Miss Tong.”

“Mr. Jiu.” Jiang Tong was quite respectful of Jiang Shuxuan’s underlings, and she smiled sweetly. “Did you come back with Bro...I mean, Young Master Jiang?”

Ever since that incident, she didn’t dare to call him Brother Jiang anymore.

Jiu Tong looked at her before shaking his head. “No, I haven’t seen Boss in days.”

Jiang Tong’s eyes darkened before she mustered up a smile and replied, “Thank you, Mr. Jiu.”

Jiu Tong waved off her thanks and watched as she left.

“Apparently she’s about to make a breakthrough to Fleet Foot, and she beat Murong Miaoxue with just a few moves yesterday, are you sure about tricking her?” Someone asked.

“She’s about to level up to Fleet Foot?” Jiu Tong glanced at him, before whispering by his ear. “Jiu Bing, if Miss Gu came to the martial arts world, those two wouldn’t even have a chance, even if they worked together!”

Miss Gu? Who was that?
