Chapter 758: Cui Hong’s Doubt
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It seemed like they were not all people who could not tell right from wrong.
Gu Man came to Old Master Cui and sat beside him.
Jia Ling originally thought that Gu Man had come to take care of Old Master Cui after hearing the news, but when she saw Gu Man putting her hand on Old Master Cui’s wrist, she said in surprise, “Could she be here to treat Dad?”
Cui Hong frowned and did not speak. Although Gu Man had always been the one treating Ah Mai’s illness, Old Master Cui’s illness was different from All Mai’s. Could Gu Man really do it?
Moreover, if Cui Lin could not treat it, what ability did Gu Man have to treat it?
It was not that he looked down on Gu Man, but age was a prerequisite for Chinese medicine.
Cui Lin might be an exception, but not many examples would appear, so he still remained suspicious of Gu Man.
Actually, there was another reason. He was worried that something would happen during the treatment, causing Gu Man to be implicated.
It involved Old Master Cui’s health. At that time, even if he wanted to help Gu Man, he was helpless.
“Manman, 1 know you have some skills. It’s already very impressive that you can treat All Mai’s illness, but Old A/Iaster Cui’s illness is not as simple as you think.” Cui Hong tried his best to be tactful, hoping that Gu Man could understand the twists and turns and leave.
Gu Man ignored anyone behind her. She had already fallen into Old Master Cui’s inner world.
Spiritual energy entered Old Master Cui’s body through her fingertips and revealed the situation inside.
After investigating, she realized that Old Master Cui’s condition was much more serious than Guo Guo’s.
His body had long been eaten by insects until it was tattered, and it was very difficult to recuperate.
Moreover, she could sense that the Gu worm was becoming more and more restless. It kept squirming and eating the internal organs inside.
She could only continuously inject spiritual qi. As she filled those gaps, the Gu worms she controlled did not gnaw so hard.
When the Gu worm felt the threat of spiritual power, it calmed down slightly and stayed a few centimeters away from his heart.
This position was very dangerous. If he was triggered again, the Gu worm would directly attack the heart.
At that time, even she would be helpless.
When Gu Man opened her eyes, she heard Cui Lin’s voice.
“I thought that I was old enough to prove that age is not the prerequisite for Chinese medicine. I didn’t expect you to have such prejudice. From what you said just now, Ah Mai’s illness was also treated by Miss Gu. Isn’t this enough to prove that she’s capable?” Cui Lin was aggressive and his footsteps gradually approached.
Cui Hong felt guilty when he heard his words. He opened his mouth to retort, but he did not know what to say.
He clenched his fists and looked in Gu Man’s direction. What Cui Lin said made sense. He was too prejudiced. Since Gu Man had the ability to treat All Mai’s illness, she might really be able to treat Dad’s illness.
After thinking it through, he did not dwell on that anymore. “I was too prejudiced. Since you invited Gu Man, it proves that she must have the ability. I was too cautious.”
If Gu Man had another identity, there was no need to say anything. It was just that her identity was too sensitive. He was subconsciously worried about the consequences if Gu Man’s treatment was unsuccessful, but he did not think about Gu Man’s strength. Perhaps there was really a possibility of her treatment succeeding.
Gu Man looked at the two of them and could roughly understand Cui Lin and Cui Hong’s thoughts.
Cui Hong’s kindness after knowing her identity did not seem to be fake. The reason why he questioned her was probably because he had too many concerns, but he did not know that she did not care about this at all. Moreover, she had the strength to treat Old Master Cui’s illness, if nothing unexpected had happened before this.
“It can be treated.” Gu Man looked at everyone.
Cui Lin’s eyes revealed an expression that was indeed so. He smiled in relief. “I knew you could definitely do it.”
Gu Man looked up at Cui Lin. “Thank you for your praise.”
When Cui Hong heard this, the worry in his heart relaxed a lot. His brows finally relaxed.
Jia Ling looked around and realized that now was a good time to suck up to Gu Man. “Miss Gu is really young and promising. She cured Ah Mai and Dad’s illnesses one after another..”
