The room fell quiet, all eyes fixed on Luo Xiu.
Sun Gaozhi slowly sat up in bed, his gaze sharpening as he watched Luo Xiu.
To the layman, what just transpired might seem like a simple hand on the shoulder, then withdrawn. But to those in the know, it was evident that it was a contest of Inner Strength.
And the result of this contest was A Gui being completely dominated!
A Gui had been through thick and thin with Sun Gaozhi from a young age, surviving life-and-death situations together. In all of Sea City, there were no more than five people who could be considered his opponent. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him one of Sea City's top masters.
But now, an obscure young man had completely humbled A Gui!
This was truly unbelievable.
Sun Li stared at Luo Xiu's profile, her lips slightly pursed and a hint of admiration in her eyes. I really did bring back a remarkable person this time.
At that moment, Luo Xiu spoke. "The Elder surely experienced many life-and-death struggles in his youth, accumulating chronic injuries in his channels over the years. He was also poisoned, which led to this hereditary channel exhaustion disease."
Hearing this, Sun Gaozhi came to his senses and glanced at A Gui, signaling him to withdraw.
"Young man, what should I call you?"
"Luo Xiu."
"Mister Luo, can you truly cure it?"
After witnessing Luo Xiu overpower A Gui with his Inner Strength, Sun Gaozhi no longer dared to underestimate him. The young man's medical skills aside, his powerful Inner Strength alone marked him as a master among masters. While the Sun Family was influential, they dared not provoke or offend such an individual.
Luo Xiu said indifferently, "If I couldn't cure it, what would I be doing here? The Elder should think about what to offer as my reward."
Sun Gaozhi, somewhat admiring Luo Xiu's forthrightness, smiled. "If Mister Luo can cure this old man, you need only ask for anything you want."
"What I can give, I will. What I can't, I will risk everything to obtain for you."
Luo Xiu wasted no more words. He looked at Sun Li and Su Shenyun and said, "You two, please step outside for a moment."
After the two women left, only Luo Xiu, Sun Gaozhi, and A Gui remained in the room.
Luo Xiu made no attempt to be discreet. He took out Silver Needles directly from his Jade Pendant and said, "I will need the Elder to remove his clothing."
Sun Gaozhi and A Gui exchanged a glance, then both stared at Luo Xiu with wide, disbelieving eyes.
This Jade Pendant... could it be the legendary Storage Magical Treasure?
To carry such a Divine Object... who exactly is this young man? What a terrifying background he must have!
At this thought, the two old men looked at each other again, sharing an unspoken agreement. We must build a good relationship with this powerhouse.
「A moment later.」
Luo Xiu looked at Sun Gaozhi, who was covered in Silver Needles, and quietly infused a wisp of energy into him.
The drowsy Sun Gaozhi jerked, his complexion turning pale instantly as he spat out a mouthful of dark, congealed blood.
However, the elder's heart was filled with barely contained excitement. He gaped at Luo Xiu, wanting to say something but unable to utter a word.
After a long while, Luo Xiu said, "The Elder is advanced in years. A full recovery in one treatment would be too much for his body, so we'll wait a couple of days before continuing."
Sun Gaozhi lay in bed, weak but smiling broadly. He could naturally feel the changes in his body, as if he had become ten years younger.
"Young Luo is truly a Divine Doctor!"
"I will never forget your great kindness for as long as I live!"
Luo Xiu smiled, put away the Silver Needles, and turned to leave. A Gui followed closely, escorting him out of the room.
Just as he stepped out, Sun Li and Su Shenyun, who had been waiting outside, hurried over to greet him.
A Gui nodded approvingly to the two women. "Mister Luo's Medical Techniques are unparalleled. The old master is no longer in any serious danger." With that, he returned to the room.
Luo Xiu said to Su Shenyun, "Now it's your turn."
Sun Li, elated, linked arms with Su Shenyun and looked up proudly. "See? Didn't I tell you Luo Xiu was a Divine Doctor? And you didn't believe me."
Su Shenyun smiled apologetically at Luo Xiu.
"My apologies for the trouble, Mister Luo."
Sun Li pushed Su Shenyun toward another room. "Hey, don't delay, hurry and let Luo Xiu give you..."
Mid-sentence, she suddenly thought of something. Her pretty face flushed, and she felt a pang of jealousy. She turned back and shot Luo Xiu a threatening glare, even waving her small fist.
"Luo Xiu, if you dare get handsy with my aunt later, I won't let you off!"
Because she had experienced it herself, she knew that the treatment required undressing.
Luo Xiu shrugged. "Let's get on with it."
「At the same time.」
In Sun Gaozhi's room, A Gui began, "Master, this Luo Xiu..."
"He's a divine being! We must establish a good relationship with him!" Sun Gaozhi cut him off, his face alight with excitement.
A Gui nodded in agreement.
A broad smile was plastered across Sun Gaozhi's face. "Did you feel it just now? The energy Mister Luo infused into my body was Spiritual Energy!"
Hearing the words "Spiritual Energy," a look of deep longing spread across A Gui's face.
Cultivating Spiritual Energy was the lifelong dream of every Martial Artist!
"Indeed, some people are just beyond comparison! To think Mister Luo has already cultivated Spiritual Energy at such a young age. A Gui, what realm do you think he's in?"
A Gui pondered for a moment, then shook his head.
"To be honest, I can't see through him. However, based on our earlier contest of Inner Strength, I can say with certainty... that even ten of me would be no match for him."
Hearing this, Sun Gaozhi's gaze flickered with shock.
After a long pause, he said, "A Gui... do you think it's time for Xiao Li to get married?"
"..."
「At this moment.」
In Su Shenyun's room, she proved to be far more straightforward than Sun Li. She followed Luo Xiu's instructions to the letter, even undressing completely right in front of him.
Luo Xiu gazed at the exquisite sight before him and momentarily lost his composure.
If I could stay calm in this situation, I wouldn't be a man!
For a moment, he felt as if all the mantras he had memorized on the mountain were for nothing.
For some reason, Su Shenyun is even more enticing than Sun Li.
But he managed to keep his expression neutral, feigning composure as he said, "Get ready. We're about to begin."
Su Shenyun lay on her side on the large bed, propping her head with her hand as she smilingly sized up Luo Xiu. He's quite handsome.More importantly, I can feel an overwhelmingly potent Yang Energy emanating from him. Such robust Yang Energy... for someone like me, it's irresistibly attractive.
Suddenly, she asked, "Luo Xiu, what's your relationship with our Sun Li?"
Luo Xiu was taken aback. This woman is completely different from the dignified and elegant image she projected earlier. Perhaps it's because she's undressed, but right now, she's like a Fox Spirit, oozing a seductive power that could charm any living being.
Luo Xiu steadied his mind, averted his gaze, and replied indifferently, "There's no particular relationship. We just met. If you must classify it, it's a partnership."
"Then do you like her?" Su Shenyun asked.
Luo Xiu shook his head slightly. "I'm already married."
Su Shenyun's eyes narrowed into a meaningful smile. "Is that so? Well, that just makes things easier for me. I'm married, too. Would you like to try?"
Startled, Luo Xiu asked, "Try what?"
Su Shenyun suddenly rose and wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing her soft body against his. She parted her red lips, exhaling a fragrant breath by his ear.
"Let your big sister teach you how to be a man."
