Chapter 645 - 643: Yufan’s Grandfather
Chen Tianlong smiled bitterly, but it was rare for a woman to be so affectionate towards him, and he felt touched. Although he didn’t know if it was true love, at this moment, the only thing Chen Tianlong wanted to do was to hold her.
"Yufan, come over here for a moment," Chen Tianlong said with a gentle smile.
"Huh? What is it, Chen Tianlong?" Jiang Yufan didn’t know what Chen Tianlong wanted, but seeing him say this, she had no defense and sat directly at the side of Chen Tianlong’s bed.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong sat up and gently wrapped his arms around Jiang Yufan’s waist. Then, with some force, he pulled her into his embrace. Jiang Yufan froze for a moment; although she had stolen a kiss from Chen Tianlong earlier without feeling that nervous, now she was trembling, experiencing an unprecedented sensation, like being electrocuted.
In the next moment, Jiang Yufan didn’t move, but quietly felt the tenderness of this moment. The two held each other tightly and didn’t let go for a long time.
Chen Tianlong didn’t let go, and Jiang Yufan saw that he didn’t let go, thinking he liked holding her this way, so naturally she didn’t let go either.
"Yufan, it’s time to eat."
After seeing Zhao Bing off, Wan Qi arranged a table for a meal, preparing Jiang Yufan and Chen Tianlong to eat. But upon entering the room, she saw such a beautiful scene. After being stunned for a moment, she quickly walked out, saying, "Oh, I forgot to wash the dishes, I’ll do that first. You two carry on."
"Huh? Grandma, we..." But before Jiang Yufan could continue speaking, Wan Qi had already walked out the door, covering her mouth and laughing.
Jiang Yufan quickly broke free from Chen Tianlong’s embrace, her face flushed, and stood up. After taking a few steps, she suddenly turned back and said, "Chen Tianlong, let’s go eat."
"Oh, okay." Chen Tianlong’s injuries were temporarily under control. After running the Heart Method Mantra, he regained his strength and Powerful Qi, basically looking no different from a normal state.
However, Chen Tianlong knew the poison could act up at any time, and when it did, it would be deadly.
Therefore, he had to find a way to neutralize this poison, or else he would be tortured to death by it in the end. Chen Tianlong didn’t want to die so soon; he still had many things to do and hadn’t enjoyed enough of the good life yet.
The two walked out of the room and came into the hall.
It was called a hall, but it was actually a small room less than twenty square meters, with a round table in the center. There were some dishes placed on the table, and Chen Tianlong noticed that most of them were vegetarian.
But this was understandable; young girls liked eating light food. Although Wan Qi looked young, she was actually already sixty years old, and couldn’t eat much high-protein food.
"You young people should pay attention, be careful in everything you do, take some safety measures." Suddenly Wan Qi said this out of nowhere, but Jiang Yufan didn’t understand. Only the innocent Chen Tianlong gave a bitter smile, as he obviously knew.
"Grandma, what are you talking about? I don’t understand at all," Jiang Yufan said with an innocent look.
"Ahem... Yufan, eat more greens to grow strong," Chen Tianlong quickly interrupted Jiang Yufan’s questioning, deliberately shifting the topic.
"..." Wan Qi was speechless. These two were teasing her, pretending not to understand. Wan Qi gave a playful scold, but didn’t know Jiang Yufan really didn’t understand.
The three started eating, and after a while, Chen Tianlong suddenly raised his head and asked, "Grandma, do you have a way to neutralize the Heart-Eroding Gu Poison?"
Wan Qi paused, thought for a moment, walked into the room, and then took out a wooden box, placing it on the dining table. She opened it and took out a thick notebook, saying:
"Chen Tianlong, whether there’s a way depends on this thing. This is a medical notebook my family’s old man brought back from a friend. I remember he talked about this poison, and they were researching the antidote back then. Although it wasn’t continued, they found the method, but no one has verified if it really works."
"Really?"
Chen Tianlong seemed to see hope. Although it was faint, he finally saw a glimmer of light, and his mood clearly improved a lot. He didn’t care about eating and directly took the old notebook and started flipping through it.
However, when he opened it, three shiny characters caught his eye in the preface, which surprised him greatly because it said: Chen Tianxing’s Medical Notebook.
"Damn, isn’t this my family’s Old Chen’s notebook? How did it end up here?" Chen Tianlong thought to himself. Who exactly was Wan Qi? Not only did she have heaven-defying power, but she also had a connection with Old Chen. Were they old friends?
Thinking of this, Chen Tianlong smiled and said, "Um... Grandma, do you know the author of this?"
"Oh, sort of know him. He came over a few times, but that was many years ago," Wan Qi didn’t hide and directly revealed the truth, "To be honest, this was given by Yufan’s grandfather’s good friend, and then he left it with me, and I’ve been keeping it all along."
"Huh? Yufan’s grandfather?" Chen Tianlong rarely saw Old Chen with other people in Lotus Village and had heard Old Chen mention that there was an old man who was his good friend.
"Yes, Chen Tianlong, what’s wrong? Is there something wrong?" Jiang Yufan also didn’t know what Chen Tianlong wanted to ask, and asked back puzzledly.
"Nothing, I just noticed the author’s name in the notebook is exactly the same as my family’s Old Chen, so I was curious."
"What?"
Suddenly, Wan Qi stood up, somewhat agitated. If what Chen Tianlong said was true, then he might know about Jiang Yunhe.
"Chen Tianlong, are you saying that this... the book’s author is your Old Chen?" Wan Qi was a bit excited and began to speak haltingly.
"Yes, he’s my family’s Old Chen. Also, I just looked at the content, and the language is almost identical, and he’s still a doctor, so it’s almost certain," Chen Tianlong nodded and explained.
"Wait... Is your Old Chen in a place called Lotus Village, is he? Tell me!" Wan Qi’s emotions were a bit unstable, and she hurriedly ran to Chen Tianlong, grabbing his shoulders as if demanding an answer.
"Grandma, you’re hurting Chen Tianlong. Let go quickly."
Jiang Yufan was shocked. It was rare for her to see Grandma in such a state. Perhaps she hadn’t seen Grandpa for too long, and her thoughts had accumulated for a long time. Now suddenly there’s news, and of course, she’s excited.
Wan Qi was snapped out of it by Jiang Yufan and immediately let go, smiling apologetically. Then she softened her tone and asked, "Ahem... Chen Tianlong, is it Lotus Village?"
"Yes, Grandma, I come from Lotus Village, in Sanketan Town. Is this the address you’re looking for?" Chen Tianlong didn’t mind; that grip hadn’t hurt him.
