Lying in the coffin, Hu Shaoyou's face grew increasingly ashen, yet his expression remained motionless, without even the slightest frown!

This made Ren Tianye gasp in surprise.

Holy crap, that's hard!

However, they quickly realized that this guy must have taken some kind of drug that made him appear to be dead. The drug also contained some anesthetic, which is why he was able to be fearless and remain calm even in the face of any storm.

But this really left Ren Tianye at a loss.

Killing Hu Shaoyou like this wouldn't be in his interest, but he couldn't "wake up" Hu Shaoyou for the time being.

"Lord Duke, Lu Shuang requests an audience."

Ren Tianye turned slightly and saw Lu Shuang rushing over. He first whispered something to Zhang Shi, who was surprised. Then, with a flick of his finger, Lu Shuang came straight over.

Looking at Lu Shuang dressed in hemp clothing and seeing her extremely capable appearance, Ren Tianye knew that Su Jin had indeed recommended another talented person to the Demon Suppression Division!

"My lord..."

Lu Shuang leaned closer and whispered in her ear.

He repeated the details of what he had just reported to Zhang Shi to Ren Tianye.

"really?"

"Absolutely true, I cannot be mistaken."

"it is good."

Ren Tianye turned around again, facing Gu Qing, Hu Shaoyou's corpse, and Hu Shaoyou's parents who were crying their eyes out, and said calmly, "This matter can be considered settled."

"Actually, what you said is not wrong. Even if Hu Shaoyou is immortal in a thousand ways and deserves to die in ten thousand ways, he has already atoned for his sins with his death."

"In that case, I will not make things difficult for him any further."

"Zhang Shi!"

"Your subordinate is here!"

"Get people to help deliver Hu Shaoyou's body to his parents, so they can take it back and give it a proper burial!"

"yes!"

Zhang Shi accepted the order and carried it out.

Overwhelmed by the immense emotional impact, Hu Shaoyou's parents forgot even the basic words of thanks. They wept uncontrollably as the crowd carried Hu Shaoyou's body and led the way.

They took Hu Shaoyou away.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to glare fiercely at Gu Qing.

The meaning in those eyes was probably... resentment!

They resented Gu Qing for not paying off the debt sooner, causing their son to suffer such torment even in death.

Gu Qing saw this and felt even more pain in her heart.

Kneeling before Ren Tianye, she respectfully said, "Thank you, Duke, for sparing my husband. I, Gu Qing, will keep my word and dedicate the rest of my life to repaying my husband's debts."

As he spoke, Gu Qing kowtowed several times.

"Thank you, Your Excellency!"

"Thank you, Your Excellency!"

"Thank you, Your Excellency!"

This is to express my gratitude to Ren Tianye.

Whether it was genuine or not, Ren Tianye accepted it all.

After his personal guards brought him a chair, Ren Tianye sat down casually and remained silent until most of the people in the hall had left, mainly Hu Shaoyou's parents. Only then did Ren Tianye finally smile.

"I'm afraid you'll thank me even more in a little while!"

"Huh?" Gu Qing asked in surprise.

"Get up. You haven't eaten in a long time, have you? Eat something, rest for a while, and then I will..."

"I'll give you back a lively and energetic husband!"

"What?" Gu Qing's body trembled violently.

……

"Alright, alright, you've delivered my son's body, so hurry up and leave. We still need to prepare for his funeral."

"Yes, you guys should hurry up and leave!"

Hu Shaoyou's parents practically chased Zhang Shi and the others away before closing the door and looking at their son Hu Shaoyou's body.

They immediately rushed over.

Each one of them cried their hearts out.

"My son, how could you be in such a miserable state!"

"It's all that bitch Gu Qing's fault! If she hadn't stopped you from being with Wan Qing, none of this would have happened. It's all that bitch Gu Qing's fault; she deserves to carry this burden for the rest of her life!"

The two cried for a while before remembering that their son, Hu Shaoyou, had taken medication and was now unable to open his eyes, speak, or even breathe very weakly. Only a renowned doctor could make a clear diagnosis.

They quickly sent one person to find the doctor that Xiangsi Pavilion had prepared for them, while the other person took good care of them.

The doctor was trained by the Xiangsi Pavilion. His business was turning the living into the dead and then bringing the dead back to life. With years of practical experience, his medical skills were superb.

When the time came, the silver needles were laid out, and the lost technique was immediately used. With a few swift movements, Hu Shaoyou, who had been lying there as if he were dead, began to groan.

As the doctor applied the acupuncture needles faster and faster, Hu Shaoyou's groans grew louder, more and more miserable, and more and more collapsing...

Until I fully woke up.

"what……"

The earth-shattering sound resounded throughout the sky.

The pain, which I only realized belatedly, surged wildly throughout my body.

"what!"

Hu Shaoyou sprang straight up from the bed with a somersault, a motion as smooth as a zombie getting up, but the expression on his face was far more vivid than that of a zombie.

Pain, collapse, despair...

go Ape!

"Doctor, doctor, save me, save me..."

The doctor shook his head and said, "There's no way to save him!"

"No, we have to save her, we have to save her!"

"But I really can't save them!"

"But if you don't save me, how can I face Wanqing? I went through so much trouble, put on such a grand show, and now it's like this, how can I face Wanqing?"

"No, help me! Help me!"

The doctor was in a difficult and distraught position. He tried to suggest, "How about I prescribe some tonifying herbs for you, such as goji berries, donkey penis, deer antler, and angelica?"

"Wouldn't that just make him die even faster?" Hu Shaoyou jumped up, wanting to hit someone, but then remembered that the doctor was from Xiangsi Pavilion, and he stopped himself.

But people are even more devastated.

What should I do?

What should I do?

How am I supposed to see Wanqing like this?

He and Wanqing had gone through so much trouble and walked for so long to finally reach this day, and the sexual happiness they had been looking forward to was right in front of them.

That's all?

Gone!

Gone! ! !

He really wants to die right now!

"I really can't do anything about this. However, as far as I know, there are many martial arts techniques hidden in the Xiangsi Pavilion. One of them is very powerful and is said to have been passed down from the palace. Since you are a military general, General Hu, your martial arts skills will definitely improve a lot after practicing it."

"Becoming a top-tier military commander is just around the corner!"

"The old saying 'a loss may turn out to be a blessing in disguise' perfectly illustrates this point."

Unfortunately, despite the doctor's good intentions, Hu Shaoyou didn't appreciate it and angrily shouted, "Get out! Get the hell out of here! Get as far away as possible!"

"Fine, I'll get out!" The doctor had already bandaged Hu Shaoyou's wound. The job was done, and he had fulfilled the task assigned by Xiangsi Pavilion. He immediately replied defiantly and turned to leave.

He turned around, his face now showing disdain.

If it weren't for the pressure from the Xiangsi Pavilion, his excellent medical skills could have saved countless lives, yet he was forced to do these despicable things.

They've almost completely lost their medical ethics.

I thought he wanted to!

The doctor left, leaving only Hu Shaoyou and his parents in the room.

Seeing Hu Shaoyou like this, Hu Shaoyou's parents were also worried and scared. However, they had a deep-seated concern for their son and knew they had to comfort him when he was on the verge of collapse to ease his pain and inner turmoil.

"Son, what's done is done, and there's no point in being angry anymore. But no matter what, we still have a lot of money left, right? With this money, our future will be much better. Staying away from women and getting so much money is worth it, so don't be too sad."

"Yes, son, she's just a woman. Wanqing may be good, but there are so many women in the world. If you have money and Wanqing dares to be disrespectful to you, you can just replace her. There are plenty of women like Wanqing in the world!"

……

The two men's attempts to comfort him only made Hu Shaoyou more unable to hold back.

money?

What's the use of having so much money?

He will abstain from women from now on.

He couldn't even protect Wanqing anymore. He might as well have been beaten to death by Ren Tianye with three punches.

"Oh right, Wanqing, Wanqing... Wanqing is still waiting for me, I have to go find Wanqing, I have to go find Wanqing..."
