Chapter 73 Lin Youcai, Zhou Zhiyao

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking.

Gu Guanqi had just finished breakfast in the inn's lobby and was slowly sipping his tea when he heard light footsteps outside the door. He looked up and saw Lin Yourong, dressed in a light purple dress, walking in with a smile, followed by her maid, Meihua.

"Good morning, Young Master Gu." Lin Yourong walked up to him, bowed slightly, and had a special look in her eyes.

Gu Guanqi put down his teacup, stood up, and cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "Miss Lin, what brings you here?"

Lin Yourong said, "I've come to pick you up. Didn't you promise me yesterday that you'd help me find the best clinic? Young Master Gu, you haven't forgotten, have you?"

Gu Guanqi quickly replied, "I haven't forgotten. Miss Lin sent someone to tell me the location. I can go by myself. You're so busy, there's no need for you to make the trip yourself."

Lin Yourong smiled and said, "What could be more important than meeting Young Master Gu?"

As she spoke, she turned to the side and gestured for him to enter: "Young Master Gu, the carriage is already waiting outside."

Gu Guanqi nodded and left the inn.

A black ebony carriage was parked in front of the inn. The carriage was exquisitely decorated, and a coachman was sitting on the frame. When he saw them come out, he quickly jumped down and respectfully lifted the curtain.

Gu Guanqi stepped directly onto the carriage.

At this moment, Lin Yourong walked to the carriage, tilted her head to look at Gu Guanqi, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said softly, "Young Master Gu, aren't you going to help me into the carriage?"

Gu Guanqi was slightly taken aback.

The morning light shone from behind her, casting distinct light and shadow on her face. Today she wore a pale purple dress, with a moon-white silk sash tied around her waist, outlining her exquisite figure beautifully. At this moment, she tilted her head slightly, a faint smile playing on her lips, her bright eyes filled with anticipation.

Gu Guanqi hesitated for a moment, then reached out his hand.

Lin Yourong looked at the outstretched hand, a smile flashing in her eyes. She gently placed her hand in Gu Guanqi's palm and then grasped his hand.

Gu Guanqi was slightly taken aback.

Lin Yourong had already stepped onto the bench, her skirt gently brushing against Gu Guanqi's hand, carrying a faint fragrance.

But just as she was about to step onto the carriage, her foot suddenly slipped—

"oops""

She gasped and threw herself into Gu Guanqi's arms, her chest pressed against his, her cheek brushing against his chin, her hair brushing against his neck, carrying a sweet floral scent.

The space at the carriage door was already narrow. Gu Guanqi was pushed back half a step by her, and his back hit the carriage frame. With nowhere to retreat, he could only catch Lin Yourong steadily.

Lin Yourong pressed herself against Gu Guanqi, placing her hands on his shoulders, and looked up. Their eyes met, though they were only inches apart.

Her eyelashes were long and trembled slightly, her eyes glistening like pools of spring water. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, her nose almost touching Gu Guanqi's chin, and her warm breath brushed against Gu Guanqi's neck.

Gu Guanqi could clearly feel the softness of her chest. Through the thin fabric, the touch was soft and elastic, like a warm ball of cotton, pressed tightly against his chest.

The air seemed to freeze.

The coachman beside the carriage turned his face away, pretending not to have seen anything. Meihua covered her mouth, her eyes wide, a smile appearing on her face. She suddenly realized, muttering, "No wonder Miss only sent one carriage; she's waiting here!"

Inside the carriage, Gu Guanqi asked in a low voice, "Miss Lin, are you alright?"

Lin Yourong didn't rush to get up from Gu Guanqi's arms. Instead, she looked up at Gu Guanqi with bright eyes and a voice as soft as melted sugar water: "It's nothing, I just slipped."

Gu Guanqi's lips twitched slightly as he said, "Miss Lin, if I remember correctly, the Lin family's lightness skill is renowned in Qingzhou. Your slipping is a bit inappropriate."

Lin Yourong blinked, then suddenly smiled brightly, saying, "Oh, Young Master Gu saw right through me. Actually, I did it on purpose!"

Gu Guanqi looked down at the face so close to his own, and was speechless for a moment.

Lin Yourong looked directly at him without flinching in her bright eyes. "I just want to get closer to Young Master Gu!"

Gu Guanqi was momentarily at a loss for words, so he could only cough lightly and say, "Miss Lin, you should stand still for now."

Lin Yourong said "Oh," and slowly straightened up from Gu Guanqi's embrace, reaching out to straighten the wrinkles on Gu Guanqi's clothes that she had pressed against her chest.

Gu Guanqi subconsciously looked at Lin Yourong's chest.

Then, Lin Yourong suddenly raised her head.

Gu Guanqi instantly felt a pang of guilt, immediately averting his gaze and saying, "I—I'll go in first!"

With that, he got into the carriage.

Lin Yourong watched Gu Guanqi's slightly disheveled figure, covered her mouth and chuckled, then gently lifted her skirt and entered the carriage, the hem of her skirt fluttering gently in the morning breeze.

Then, Meihua also got into the carriage, but she didn't go inside; instead, she sat on the outside of the carriage frame.

The carriage started slowly, its wheels making a dull thud as they rolled over the cobblestones. The interior was dimly lit, with only a few rays of morning light filtering through the curtains, casting indistinct shadows of the two figures.

Lin Yourong leaned against the cushion, her hands folded on her knees, and looked at Gu Guanqi with her head turned to the side.

The space inside the carriage was not large, and the distance between the two was no more than two feet. Gu Guanqi could clearly smell the faint fragrance on her body.

However, the awkwardness between the two seemed to have faded.

The carriage traveled south, passing through several bustling main streets before turning into a relatively quiet alley and stopping in front of a house.

Gu Guanqi got out of the car and looked up.

The courtyard gate consists of two vermilion-lacquered wooden doors, with a brand-new plaque hanging above the lintel bearing the four large characters "Jinxiu Medical Clinic".

Lin Yourong walked to Gu Guanqi's side and said softly, "Young Master Gu, let me show you around. Please give me your feedback and tell me what I could have done better!"

"it is good."

Afterwards, Lin Yourong led Gu Guanqi on a tour.

After walking around, Gu Guanqi got a feeling that the Jinxiu Medical Clinic was luxurious in every way, whether it was the variety of medicinal materials, the staffing, or the various functional departments.

It gave Gu Guanqi the feeling of seeing a model of a hospital from the future.

In other words, we don't know the actual skill level of those doctors.

However, considering the overall facilities of this magnificent medical facility, it would definitely be considered high-end in this era.

However, Gu Guanqi did offer Lin Yourong some suggestions based on his advanced hospital management model from his previous life, which greatly impressed Lin Yourong.

"I never imagined that Young Master Gu would have such profound insights into business!" Lin Yourong exclaimed in admiration.

Gu Guanqi shook his head slightly and said, "Miss Lin sees this as business advice, but everyone has their own expertise. In my opinion, it's about making the best use of a doctor's talents. I don't know much about business."

"Perhaps this is the difference between geniuses and ordinary people. Even if you offer a few pointers in a field you're not good at, it can be an eye-opener for others," Lin Yourong said.

"Miss Lin, you flatter me."

As they chatted, Lin Yourong led Gu Guanqi to a large courtyard at the back.

This courtyard was specially designed, and it feels very tranquil as soon as you enter. A row of lush bamboo grows in the courtyard. Under the trees, there is a stone table and benches.

The courtyard was surrounded by several side rooms, with their doors and windows tightly closed, making it impossible to see what was inside.

Lin Yourong said, "Young Master Gu, this was prepared especially for you."

Which one?

"all."

Gu Guanqi was slightly taken aback.

Lin Yourong said, "Young Master Gu, didn't you want to prepare medicine? This courtyard has almost all common medicinal herbs, as well as the tools needed for preparing medicine."

As she spoke, Lin Yourong opened the doors to those rooms, each of which was filled with rows of tall medicine cabinets, densely packed with all kinds of medicinal herbs.

In the very center room stood a large, long table, upon which were laid out various medicine-making tools such as mortars and pestles, grinding stones, pestles, and sieves. To the left was another room, the alchemy room, complete with all the necessary equipment, including alchemical furnaces, medicine bottles, and bellows, each piece of which was exquisitely crafted and made of top-quality materials.

There's also a study, a bedroom, and so on. Gu Guanqi felt that this whole set was far too extravagant.

"Miss Lin, this—" Gu Guanqi turned around and looked at Lin Yourong, "I'm just preparing some medicine, I don't need so much stuff, this is a bit wasteful of you."

"Young Master Gu, let me take you inside."

Lin Yourong smiled slightly and came out to invite Gu Guanqi in.

Gu Guanqi followed him inside.

Lin Yourong said, "Young Master Gu, don't feel it's a waste. If we are destined to be together in the future, it will be a matter of decades and a lifetime. There will always be a time when it comes in handy."

If we are not destined to be together, then our acquaintance and friendship is also a kind of fate. I will always keep this courtyard ready for you; you can come here whenever you need to.

Gu Guanqi cupped his hands and said, "Miss Lin, um—thank you!"

Lin Yourong smiled slightly, then took out a white jade bottle from her sleeve and handed it to Gu Guanqi.

The jade bottle was pure white, with a faint bluish-green hue visible through the inner wall, and a hint of warmth emanated from it.

Lin Yourong said, "This is a jade bottle made of thousand-year-old warm jade, called the Mysterious Spirit Jade Bottle. It naturally possesses a special spiritual energy that can ensure the efficacy of medicines does not diminish over the years. Pills placed inside will not spoil for three to five years. Moreover, wearing it on your body for a long time can also nourish your meridians and regulate your qi and blood."

This was a relic left behind by the renowned physician Tang Shengqi of Qingzhou. His descendants fell into poverty and sold it, which was then purchased by my family. It has been sitting there unappreciated, waiting for the discerning eye of Young Master Gu!

As a doctor, Gu Guanqi had naturally heard of the Xuanling Jade Bottle's great reputation. It was even more wondrous than Lin Yourong had described. Not only did it have the effects Lin Yourong mentioned, but even more miraculously, this bottle also had the effect of enhancing elixirs, making it a rare and precious treasure.

"This is too valuable, I can't accept it." Gu Guanqi immediately declined.

Lin Yourong grasped Gu Guanqi's hand and placed the jade bottle directly into it. She took a half-step forward, her soft bosom pressing against Gu Guanqi's arm, and said gently, "Why refuse, sir? Although we have just met, we can discuss marriage. I am extremely fond of you and wholeheartedly want to entrust everything to you. This mere jade bottle is nothing special. I just wanted to express my feelings!"

Lin Yourong was very close, and Gu Guanqi could smell the faint fragrance on her body.

For a moment, he could only look straight ahead, not daring to lower his head at all.

"Ms. Lin, could we slow down our pace a bit?"

"I think we can speed it up."

Lin Yourong pressed herself even closer.

Gu Guanqi was at a loss for words, only feeling that the weather was rather hot today.

The two of them stood close together, neither of them saying another word.

Gu Guanqi felt that the weather was getting hotter and hotter.

"Get out of the way!"

Just then, a man's shout came from outside the courtyard.

Immediately following was the voice of Meihua, Lin Yourong's personal maid: "Second Young Master, you cannot go in. The Eldest Miss gave the order—"

"Let me tell you, Plum Blossom, how dare you, a mere maid, stop me? Believe me or not, I'll sell you to a brothel!"

"Second Young Master, the Eldest Young Lady is meeting with distinguished guests, you—"

"Get out of here!"

The noise outside instantly shattered the atmosphere between Gu Guanqi and Lin Yourong.

Gu Guanqi quickly took a step back, pulled his hand away from Lin Yourong's, and looked towards the door. He instantly felt that the temperature had returned to the coolness of autumn.

Lin Yourong also turned her head to look at the door, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

Immediately afterward, a carefree young man barged in through the moon gate.

The young man was about eighteen or nineteen years old. He wore a bright red brocade robe, with a gold ribbon tied around his waist and jade pendants and sachets hanging from his waist. He walked with a swaying gait, exuding the arrogance and frivolity of a spoiled young master.

His eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Lin Yourong's, but his eyes were cloudy and lifeless, with puffy eye bags, clearly showing that he had been ruined by excessive drinking and womanizing.

"Sister, I asked you for some money and you wouldn't give it to me, but you turned around and gave that Xuanling Jade Bottle to that pretty boy, you—"

Before the young man could finish speaking, Lin Yourong took a step forward, her figure seemingly transforming into a streak of light, instantly flying to the young man's front.

Before the young man could react, Lin Yourong had already slapped him.

"Snap—"

—

A crisp, loud bang rang out in the quiet courtyard.

The young man was spun halfway around by the slap and fell to the ground, his face and mouth swelling up at a visible speed.

As soon as he got up, Lin Yourong pressed his head down.

Immediately, Lin Yourong turned around, a smile on her face, and said to Gu Guanqi, "Excuse me, Young Master Gu, this is my younger brother, Lin Youcai. He's always been a bit slow-witted. I'll take him outside to wake him up!"

Before Lin Youcai could react, she reached out and grabbed his ear, twisting it sharply.

"Ouch—it hurts! Sis, be gentle! My ear's going to fall off!"

Lin Youcai's arrogance was instantly crushed by the pain. He bent over, tilted his head, and staggered out, following Lin Yourong's grip.

Soon, they were outside the courtyard.

Then, an even more piercing scream came from outside the courtyard, one after another, without end.

"Ah! Sister, I was wrong! I was really wrong!"

"Stop hitting me! Ah! Don't hit my face! I won't listen to anyone anymore!"

"ah"

The screams echoed in the courtyard, gradually fading into the distance.

Gu Guanqi felt a pang of sympathy for Lin Youcai upon hearing the screams.

After a moment, Lin Yourong returned, looking apologetic. "Young Master Gu, I'm so sorry, I've upset you."

Gu Guanqi quickly said, "No, no, um, your younger brother, he—"

Lin Yourong said, "Don't worry about him. My younger brother has been spoiled since he was a child. He's a brainless good-for-nothing. He must have been provoked by someone just now."

Although my invitation to meet you was a personal matter, those with ulterior motives can always find out. There have always been individuals with malicious intent, both within and outside the Lin family. They don't want to see me with you; they can't even defeat me, so if I were to be with you, it would be a devastating blow to them.

Therefore, someone will try to sabotage things, and my foolish brother, after being swayed by a few words, actually dared to come and spout nonsense. Hmm, this plan won't work, and those people will surely have other schemes. If anyone says anything to you, young master, please don't believe their instigation!

Gu Guanqi nodded slightly and said, "I have my own judgment." Then, Gu Guanqi pointed to the medicinal herbs and tools in the room and said, "Um, Miss Lin, may I use these now?"

"certainly!"

Lin Yourong rolled up her sleeves and said, "Young Master Gu, medicine and martial arts are inseparable. I have practiced martial arts since childhood and have also done some research on medicine. I will assist you."

"Okay, thank you!"

Meanwhile, outside a restaurant in the southern part of the city.

Lin Youcai, bruised and battered, limped inside and went straight upstairs to a private room.

Sitting in the private room was a handsome young man, Zhou Zhiyao, a renowned young talent in Qingzhou, known as the Green Bamboo Swordsman. He was a leading figure among the younger generation of the martial arts world in Qingzhou and the eldest son of the Zhou family, one of the two major families in Qingzhou.

His father is Zhou Jinyuan, the current head of the Zhou family and one of the four sects of the Three Venerables and Four Sects, also known as the Swift Wind Divine Leg.

For many years, Zhou Zhiyao had been the leader of the younger generation of martial arts practitioners in Qingzhou, and was widely recognized as the most promising candidate to be listed on the Qilin Ranking. He did indeed make it onto the Qilin Ranking after the last ranking change, albeit in last place—

There is a significant gap in the number of talented young people under the age of thirty in Qingzhou.

Three months ago, Zhou Jinyuan brought Zhou Zhiyao to visit the Lin family patriarch. Zhou Zhiyao fell in love with Lin Yourong, the eldest daughter of the Lin family, at first sight and then publicly expressed her love.

This incident became a popular topic of conversation in Tianping City. One was a leader of the younger generation of martial arts in Qingzhou, and the other was a heroine, Lin Fenghuang'er. Many people felt that the two were a perfect match.

However, Lin Yourong consistently rejected Zhou Zhiyao's advances.

But Zhou Zhiyao refused to give up and pursued it relentlessly.

Upon seeing Lin Youcai's appearance, Zhou Zhiyao was immediately shocked and asked, "Brother Youcai, what happened to you?"

Lin Youcai hugged the young man and cried, "Brother Zhou, this was my sister who hit me. She hit me so hard! I was only trying to help you!"

Zhou Zhiyao gave an embarrassed smile and quickly said, "You've suffered so much. I will always remember your kindness." "No need to remember, just give me some money. My sister is angry and won't even give me my monthly allowance next month. I'm only suffering like this because of you, Brother Zhou!" Lin Youcai pitifully stretched out his hand.

Zhou Zhiyao's lips twitched. She untied the purse from her waist and reluctantly handed it to Lin Youcai, asking, "So, what do you think of that person compared to me?"

Lin Youcai looked at Zhou Zhiyao, waved his hand and said, "Brother Zhou, we're in a bit of trouble. That pretty boy's martial arts are better than yours, there's no doubt about that. He was ranked tenth on the Qilin Ranking released by the Tianji Pavilion a few days ago."

Zhou Zhiyao nodded slightly and said, "I know that. Tell me something else!"

Lin Youcai thought for a moment and said, "As for appearance, it's similar to yours."

As he spoke, Lin Youcai took a sip of tea and continued, "It's obvious my sister really likes him." He pointed to his pig-like head and said, "I just called him a pretty boy, and my sister beat me up like this. Brother Zhou, if you want to pursue my sister, you'll have to think of other ways!"

Zhou Zhiyao frowned.

Lin Youcai said in a low voice, "However, Brother Zhou, I have another way. We can take a roundabout route. That pretty boy is only after my sister's money. As long as we let him know there's no profit to be made, he will definitely leave. But this operation will come at a great cost to me. I'm afraid my sister will break my legs. So, as for the expenses—"

A fawning smile appeared on Lin Youcai's pig-headed face as he tugged at his hands and said, "You'll have to give me more, hehe!"

Zhou Zhiyao was silent for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. I guess You Rong and I are not meant to be. She has already met her soulmate, so there's no need for me to pester her. It would only make me look bad. So, I wish her happiness!"

"what?"

Lin Youcai was slightly taken aback and said, "Brother Zhou, are you just giving up like that?"

Zhou Zhiyao stood up, smiled and said, "My father is right. Fate cannot be forced. In fact, I know in my heart that there is not much hope, but I just didn't want to admit it. Now that things have come to this, I can no longer deceive myself."

"Brother Youcai, thank you for your help these past few months. Now it's time to say goodbye. I should return to reality. Now that I've ascended to the Qilin Ranking and achieved my goal, it's time to follow my family's arrangements. I'll get married and have children as I see fit. Farewell!"

"Brother Zhou, there's still a chance to try!"

"Brother Zhou————"

Zhou Zhiyao didn't hesitate at all and left immediately.

Lin Youcai couldn't catch up and could only watch Zhou Zhiyao leave. He sighed deeply, his face full of sorrow, and muttered, "Alas, what a pity, what a pity. With a real brother-in-law, I've lost a sucker who gave me money to spend."

After Zhou Zhiyao left, he walked through two streets and two alleyways to a small courtyard.

In the middle of the courtyard is a small pond, where a middle-aged man is sitting and fishing.

Zhou Zhiyao walked over and said, "Father, I've worked for nothing. I've just made a wedding dress for Gu Guanqi."

The fisherman was none other than Zhou Jinyuan, one of the four great masters of Qingzhou, known for his swift and powerful legs.

Zhou Jinyuan tilted his head slightly and asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhou Zhiyao sat down next to Zhou Jinyuan and said, "Didn't I ask the Black Robe to ambush Lin Yourong in Youyang County before? His true energy can restrain the Lin family's Great Calamity Finger True Energy, which Lin Yourong couldn't resolve. I also arranged for someone to lure away the old doctor Wu, putting Lin Yourong in a desperate situation."

I'll wait in Xiushan County, ready to step in when the time is right. I'll use the Qingfeng Force of our Zhou family to neutralize the foreign true energy in her body. That will inevitably lead to physical intimacy. Then I'll create some accidents so that Lin Yourong and I can be completely honest with each other. Then I'll marry her. Wouldn't that be a natural thing to do?

As it turned out, when I was about to show myself, I discovered that Lin Yourong had actually recovered. To avoid being exposed, I didn't dare to appear. Later, I inquired and learned that a passing doctor had saved Lin Yourong. Only today did I learn that the doctor was Gu Guanqi!

Zhou Jinyuan put down his fishing rod, slowly turned around to look at Zhou Zhiyao, and asked, "Then Gu Guanqi must be dead."

"There's no need for that," Zhou Zhiyao said. "Although I quite like Lin Yourong, it's not worth provoking a powerful enemy for a woman."

Zhou Jinyuan shook his head slightly and said, "It's not because of Lin Yourong, but because he can neutralize the black-robed man's alien true energy. In our plan, the black-robed man's alien true energy is a very important part. If someone can neutralize the black-robed man's alien true energy, then our chances of success will decrease by at least 30%."

Furthermore, after planning for so many years, I have finally made you appear on the Qilin Ranking. You should have been unparalleled in your prominence and become the number one person in Qingzhou, gaining immense fame by taking advantage of this momentum.

But now, at this critical juncture, Gu Guanqi has appeared, completely overshadowing your brilliance. Even when people mention your place on the Qilin Ranking, they say you owe it to Gu Guanqi. You're already twenty-nine; you have no chance. If he doesn't die, you won't become the number one in Qingzhou, and the world will never remember the second.

"this----"

Zhou Zhiyao pondered for a moment, then continued, "Gu Guanqi is quite strong. You can't reveal your strength now, so you can't personally attack him. If someone else attacks, they might not be able to kill him, and they might even expose themselves."

Zhou Jinyuan smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, that kid is indeed a prodigy, but he's still young. If given ten years, he'll definitely become a grandmaster. But right now, he's not a grandmaster yet, and there are many people who can kill him. I have my own people in mind. Just as you said, it's inconvenient for me to take action personally for the time being, otherwise I could kill him in one move!"

Zhou Zhiyao asked in surprise, "Father, is there really such a big difference between a Grandmaster and a non-Grandmaster?"

Zhou Jinyuan waved his hand and said, "Until you reach the Grandmaster level, you simply cannot understand the difference between a Grandmaster and other martial artists. In the eyes of a Grandmaster, whether it's a first-rate expert or a top-tier expert like the Eight Heroes or Ji Xianyun, there is no difference. Once a Grandmaster unleashes their ultimate technique, there's no escape but death!"

Zhou Zhiyao frowned and said, "Father, then I—"

You still have a long way to go.

After saying that, Zhou Jinyuan waved his hand and continued, "Alright, let's talk about this later!"

Zhou Zhiyao nodded and asked, "Father, what should we do now? This path with Lin Yourong is a dead end."

Zhou Jinyuan said in a deep voice, "I told you before that I wanted you to marry Lin Youfeng from the second wife, but you wouldn't listen and insisted on marrying Lin Yourong. Who is Lin Yourong? She is the most talented businesswoman in the Lin family for generations. Wouldn't she be wary of someone trying to control the Lin family by marrying her? How could she possibly agree to marry you?"

Zhou Zhiyao nodded and said, "I was thinking too simply. The main thing is, Lin Yourong is really beautiful, much prettier than Lin Youfeng."

"She's beautiful, but what can you do if she doesn't agree to be with you?" Zhou Jinyuan said. "We still have to follow my original plan. You go and marry Lin Youfeng."

"Once Lin Huaiyuan and Lin Changqing are dead, we can openly and legitimately intervene in the Lin family's affairs through Lin Youfeng's family. Although it will cause more trouble, it's the easiest and quickest way."

"Yes, Dad, I understand."

Zhou Zhiyao nodded and asked, "But Father, I've been openly pursuing Lin Yourong for so long, and now I'm going to marry Lin Youfeng right away. Will she agree?"

"Yes, don't worry, I'm confident!" Zhou Jinyuan said.

"If only it were Lin Yourong," Zhou Zhiyao sighed.

He then pondered for a moment and asked, "Father, who exactly is the man in black? Is he really confident he can take down Lin Huaiyuan?"

Zhou Jinyuan said, "I can't tell you who he is for now. But don't worry, he really can take down Lin Huaiyuan. You've seen his unique true energy; it can not only restrain the Lin family's Great Calamity Finger True Energy, but it can also neutralize it!"
