The Daughter Of Destiny Broke Off The Engagement? I Married Her Sister Instead.

青怜 was speaking alone.

Chu Qianqiu suddenly realized why this girl had come to him to buy medicine.

It turned out that the medicine was not for her own patients, but for her relatives.

But this also confirmed that her grandfather's illness had long been beyond help.

"Ah, Miss Qing, even my medicine can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause."

"Your grandfather's illness is very serious. We must remove the root cause before we can treat it. Besides that, no matter how good the medicine is, there is no other way."

Chu Qianqiu reluctantly spoke out, telling the two of them this cruel reality.

The old man surnamed Qiu sighed, having long anticipated the truth, so his expression showed a hint of relief.

"This young man, thank you for speaking these words for me."

"I have been suffering from this illness for so many years. Even a discerning person can see that there is no cure."

"I was originally a physician, saving the lives of people, but in the end, I was defeated by the disease."

"This girl has been interested in medicine since she was young and has grown up to become a physician now, all because of my illness."

"Now, she has learned all my skills, and she surpasses me. But she still can't find the root cause and has been comforting me..."

"I really hope that Qing'er can let go. After all, she still has to live a good life on her own in the future and not be held back by these things."

The old man's words had a sense of settling his affairs.

Qinglian kept shaking her head, clearly unwilling to accept the fact that her grandfather's time was running out.

Chu Qianqiu, who had been observing silently on the side for a long time, now spoke up, interrupting the sorrowful atmosphere between the two.

"Both of you, when I said my medicine only treats the symptoms, I didn't say that I don't know the cause."

"If we can eliminate the cause, perhaps there is still a chance to save this illness."

After he finished speaking, it was as if he was a Buddha descending, shocking the two of them.

In an instant, the young man in Qinglian's eyes seemed like a saint, and tears welled up, causing her knees to involuntarily bend down.

"Young master, do you have a way to cure it?"

"Please, save my grandfather!"

Before she could finish her sentence, Qinglian knelt down on the street.

Chu Qianqiu reacted quickly, helping the delicate and boneless Qinglian up, not allowing her to display such an ugly state.

"Come with me, let's go to my house to talk in detail. It's too noisy on the street."

With a serious tone, Chu Qianqiu and Qinglian supported the old man, heading towards the nearby Chu family.

The old man expressed his gratitude and insisted on resolving it on the street, fearing that his "contagious disease" would spread to other members of the Chu family.

Unable to persuade him, Chu Qianqiu had no choice but to speak openly on the street.

"Old Qiu, is there something particularly evil on your body?"

"It's that thing, causing your illness to be incurable."

Directly confessing, Chu Qianqiu explained the suspicion in his heart.

The cause of this old man's illness was too similar to the situation with Old Mu back then, so he had to make this judgment.

The evil energy on both of them was the same. He had felt the aura of that black bead and couldn't be mistaken.

Therefore, he now suspected that this old man also had a black bead on his body.

"Ah, wise one."

Upon hearing his words, the old man felt a sense of relief in his heart and sighed.

Qinglian was surprised to see her grandfather's expression because she had never seen him show such an expression before.

"To be honest, there is indeed something extremely evil on my body. It's this thing, which has been devouring my life."

Old Qiu sighed and finally explained the beginning of the story.

It turned out that he had known the reason behind his current illness for a long time but had been hiding it from Qinglian.

He knew that this illness was incurable and didn't want to make her sad, so he made this decision.

In his early years, Old Qiu was a well-known physician in Yuefeng City. He had saved countless patients on the brink of death.

Once, he accidentally saved a cultivator. This cultivator had an unknown origin but was extremely weak, with a complexion like a dead person and a severe injury to his abdomen.

Temporarily saving the cultivator's life, the cultivator had no way to repay him, so he gave Old Qiu a black bead.

At first, Old Qiu thought it was some kind of immortal treasure, so he graciously accepted it.

Afterwards, the injuries of the cultivator gradually improved, and he soon bid farewell.

The two never saw each other again, as if they had never met.

Years later, Old Qiu gradually realized that the black bead given to him by the cultivator was not a treasure of the immortal path, but a disaster.

Unfortunately, when he discovered it, it was already too late.

He had been wearing the bead on his body for years, and one day it suddenly disappeared, merging into his body.

After the bead invaded his body, Old Qiu's physical condition rapidly deteriorated, until now.

....

After listening to Old Qiu's account, Chu Qianqiu's brows furrowed even tighter.

His guess was indeed correct.

The other person also had a black bead similar to Old Mo's.

However, this old man's situation was more special, as the bead entered his body directly.

This gave Chu Qianqiu a warning that this bead was extremely dangerous and could easily be attacked if he didn't have any protective treasures.

Now, Old Qiu in front of them was a case in point, and he may have reached an irreparable stage.

"How could it be? Has the bead already entered his body..."

Shaking his head, upon hearing this news, Chu Qianqiu naturally felt somewhat helpless.

Qinglian looked at the two of them, then hugged her grandfather with trembling hands, asking why they didn't tell her such an important matter earlier.

"Xiaoqing, you were just a child back then, you shouldn't have known about these things."

"Now that the truth is revealed, this young master also shook his head and regretted. The situation is beyond saving. Let's go back."

Every word fell like raindrops on Qinglian's heart.

Although Old Qiu spoke with a heavy heart, his expression was smiling, step by step.

For him, being able to say these words had a profound meaning, signifying a kind of relief.

In the past, he had to constantly consider Qing'er's feelings, take care of her, and avoid making her sad, so he silently endured.

Now, he saw this kind-hearted young master in front of him, and something gradually melted away, slowly disappearing.

...

"Old man, although I currently don't have a way to help you, I will study it when I go back. Maybe there is still hope."

"Don't give up yet."

"By the way, I have some medicinal formulas to strengthen the body's vitality. Take them back and try them. They might make you feel better."

Taking out a storage ring, Chu Qianqiu handed several valuable medicine packets to Qinglian.

Feeling a bit flustered, Qinglian was grateful and moved to tears, but she didn't dare to accept them.

"This scent... is it the Rejuvenation Powder?"

"This is made from several rare and precious medicinal herbs. Its value is immeasurable..."

"Young Master Chu, I can't afford it..."

Her eyes fixed on the elixir that the young master handed over, then glanced at the medicine formula she had just bought.

Qinglian was well aware that the effects of the two were incomparable.

The one in Chu Qianqiu's hand was a treasure made from top-grade medicinal materials, something she couldn't afford even if she tried to raise money.

"It's alright, just accept it. It's my gift to you."

"You introduced so many customers to me, we have already established a cooperative relationship, haven't we?"

"And since it's a cooperation, I can't owe you any favors, so you must accept it!"

With a polite smile, Chu Qianqiu forcefully handed over the medicine.

As for this so-called "elixir," it was nothing to him.

What kind of medicinal herbs, what kind of elixirs, in his backyard, they were all just a pile of weeds.

Were they really that rare?

"Young Master... what I said before was just my side of the story. Currently, no one can testify for me. I can't bear to deceive you like this."

Qinglian still hesitated, not to mention the gratitude in her heart, but her sense of morality was restraining her, telling her that she didn't deserve such grace.

"Qinger, just accept it."

"This is the young master's sincere intention. If you don't accept it, you're not giving him face."
