Chapter 12

Liu Qingyuan started practicing Tai Chi.

His movements were graceful, flowing like clouds and water, exuding a sense of gentleness, and within this gentleness, a powerful force was hidden.

Gu Fan could sense that there was a flow of energy within Liu Qingyuan's body, permeating his entire being, but it was concealed and under perfect control!

This is a practitioner of ancient martial arts!

However, this was just the surface. What truly caught Gu Fan's attention was Liu Qingyuan's Tai Chi.

The more he watched, the more he felt a familiar presence.

"How was it?" Liu Qingyuan asked, after completing his set of movements, looking at Gu Fan.

"I also felt some familiarity!" Gu Fan said, "It seems to share the same origin as mine!"

Tai Chi has many schools, and among these schools, the Immortal Physician Sect is also one of them.

The Immortal Physician Sect is rooted in medicine, but in reality, it involves many other aspects.

It encompasses spells, martial arts, and a wide range of knowledge.

In the past, the Immortal Physician Sect would accept these things as payment for consultations, and combined with the research and improvements made by the sect's ancestors, a unique tradition of the Immortal Physician Sect was formed.

Some of these traditions have become unique to the Immortal Physician Sect.

This tradition, like those of other sects, has significant restrictions. Non-disciples are absolutely not allowed to practice.

Gu Fan is the only successor of the Immortal Physician Sect in this generation, and this is absolutely certain.

However, it seems that Gu Fan once heard his master mention that during his travels to find a successor, he had sown many 'seeds,' but none of these 'seeds' met his requirements, so they could only be considered nominal disciples.

Could this Liu Qingyuan in front of him be one of those 'seeds' sown by his master?

"Who did you learn this Tai Chi from?" Liu Qingyuan's expression was a bit excited, and his eyes were filled with intense enthusiasm as he looked at Gu Fan.

Just as Gu Fan was about to speak, his phone rang. Gu Fan could only give Liu Qingyuan an apologetic smile, "Sorry!"

"Sister Chen!" The call was from Chen Wanqing.

"Gu Fan, I'm sorry for disturbing you so early!" Chen Wanqing said apologetically.

"It's fine, Sister Chen, I've been up for a while!" Gu Fan smiled and asked, "Is there something you need?"

"Yes, I'm about to leave. Can you come over earlier to keep Xinxin company?" Chen Wanqing said.

Trusting someone can be very simple.

One is intuition, and the other is hope. When both are present, actions that seem unbelievable become normal.

Chen Wanqing didn't think it was dangerous to entrust her daughter to a young man she had only known for a day. This is called trust.

"I'll come over right away! Rest assured, I'll take good care of Xinxin, and nothing will go wrong!" Gu Fan said seriously.

Chen Wanqing's trust made Gu Fan feel a sense of responsibility. This was not just the responsibility of a tutor but also involved many other things.

"Thank you!" Chen Wanqing said, "I'll wait for you to arrive before I leave!"

"I'll be there soon!" Gu Fan was envious of Chen Jiaxin, who had such a loving mother.

"Where do you live? I'll send a driver to pick you up, it will be faster!" Chen Wanqing said.

"Well, I can take the bus!" Gu Fan scratched his head.

"There are very few buses now... I'll send a driver to pick you up!" Chen Wanqing insisted.

Gu Fan had no choice but to give his address and end the call.

"Sorry, old man, I have an urgent matter to attend to, I have to leave first!" Gu Fan said apologetically to Liu Qingyuan.

"When can we meet again?" Seeing Gu Fan's anxious face and knowing that his question couldn't be answered in a short time, Liu Qingyuan could only look forward to the next opportunity.

"If you have time, let's meet here again tonight!" Gu Fan also wanted to confirm whether Liu Qingyuan was one of the 'seeds' sown by his master.

These are considered outer disciples of the Immortal Physician Sect.

For Gu Fan, who had changed his mindset and no longer wanted to be a solitary person, adding some fresh blood to the Immortal Physician Sect was something he was very willing to see.

"I'll wait for you here tonight!" Liu Qingyuan said solemnly.

"Okay!" Gu Fan waved and ran off.

When he got home, Gu Fan brought back a cup of soy milk and some fried dough sticks.

Seeing that Chu Xiaowei's door was still closed, he placed them on the dining table, wrote a note, changed his clothes, and prepared to leave.

From a distance, Gu Fan saw three people loitering at the entrance of the residential area. Upon closer inspection, they were Zhu Kun, Liu Zi, and Gouzi.

Gu Fan smiled, not feeling surprised by Zhu Kun's presence. On the contrary, if Zhu Kun didn't come, it would have puzzled him.

Seeing Gu Fan approach, Zhu Kun's face flashed with anger and fear, but it quickly turned into respect.

Liu Zi and Gouzi were even more so.

However, if one looked closely, one could see that their bodies were trembling slightly.

"Sir!" As Gu Fan approached, Zhu Kun and the others quickly bowed their heads, not knowing his name, they could only call him 'Sir' to show respect.

"How did you feel yesterday?" Gu Fan glanced at Zhu Kun, knowing that if he didn't truly control him, it would be a constant threat.

Zhu Kun's body trembled, and he hurriedly said, "Sir, whatever you need me to do, I will do it as you command!"

"I don't require you to do anything, just go back where you came from!" Gu Fan waved his hand. Zhu Kun was a smart person and would understand without further explanation.

"Sir..."

"Come see me in a month!" Gu Fan said calmly.

"Thank you, Sir, thank you, Sir!" Zhu Kun said gratefully.

Although controlled, at least he had a goal. Thinking about the pain that would be a hundred times worse than last night, Zhu Kun didn't dare to think further.

Zuo Xiaolan watched Gu Fan get into the car, her eyes still glancing at Zhu Kun and the others standing respectfully at the entrance of the residential area, her brows slightly furrowed.

However, she didn't say anything, didn't look at Gu Fan, and didn't intend to talk to him, quickly starting the car and driving away.

Gu Fan smiled bitterly, naturally understanding why Zuo Xiaolan was like this, probably because she saw him with Zhu Kun and the others. Who knew it would be so coincidental that Zuo Xiaolan would see them.

"I hope it doesn't affect Sister Chen's trust in me!" Gu Fan still needed this job. If he lost it because of this, it would be too unfair.

However, since Zuo Xiaolan ignored him, Gu Fan also had no interest in talking to her.

Although Zuo Xiaolan was a beauty from the side, she was slightly inferior to Huang Lele and Chu Xiaowei, only her figure was a bit more curvaceous.

This attracted Gu Fan to look a few more times, but that was all.

The journey was silent, and Gu Fan arrived at Chen Wanqing's house.

"Sister Chen!" Gu Fan's eyes lit up. Today, Chen Wanqing was dressed formally, but this formality was different from her professional attire at the company, it had a more elegant touch.

In this situation, Chen Wanqing's demeanor presented a new side.

Like a versatile beauty, she could present different beauties in different outfits.

"Here, Xinxin hasn't woken up yet. If she's not up by eight o'clock, wake her up, and I'll leave first!" Chen Wanqing smiled, everything was ready, waiting for Gu Fan to arrive.

"Okay, I'll take care of it, Sister Chen, you can go with peace of mind!" Gu Fan said seriously.

"Okay!" Chen Wanqing nodded slightly and hurriedly left.

"Xiaolan, let's go!" In the car, Chen Wanqing said solemnly, today she had to resolve the club's difficulties.

"Ms. Chen, when I went to pick up Gu Fan, I saw him talking closely with three hooligans!" Zuo Xiaolan was Chen Wanqing's driver, secretary, and assistant, sometimes even a housekeeper, so she didn't plan to hide what she saw from Chen Wanqing.

Chen Wanqing frowned slightly.

"I feel that Gu Fan is very mysterious and dangerous... A person who can associate with hooligans is not suitable to take care of Miss!" Zuo Xiaolan said worriedly.

"Drive!" Chen Wanqing thought for a moment and then said.

"Ms. Chen!" Zuo Xiaolan looked at Chen Wanqing in surprise.

She had only just met him yesterday, yet Chen Wanqing trusted him to such a degree?

"I trust Gu Fan!" Chen Wanqing's tone was very firm.

Zuo Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, then said nothing more, focusing on driving.

"Being able to make such a big change in Xinxin on the first meeting, Gu Fan, you deserve my trust." Chen Wanqing murmured to herself, "And I trust my intuition, you are worthy of my trust to take care of Xinxin!"

Sitting on the soft sofa, Gu Fan was very happy.

Chen Wanqing didn't return, which meant that what Zuo Xiaolan saw didn't change her mind. Gu Fan's job was still secure.

Gu Fan became even more dedicated to the task of transforming Chen Jiaxin.

With Chen Wanqing's trust, Gu Fan couldn't say he would go all out, but at least he had to show results to Chen Wanqing.

So after watching TV for a while, Gu Fan went upstairs before eight o'clock.

"Sleep is good for girls, but if it's too long, it can actually harm their appearance. I'm doing this for her good!" Gu Fan muttered to himself, then knocked on Chen Jiaxin's door.

"Who! Don't disturb my sleep!" After a while, Chen Jiaxin's muffled and angry voice came from inside.

"It's me, Gu Fan. It's time to get up!" Gu Fan made his voice sound serious. Strangely, when facing Chen Jiaxin, Gu Fan seemed to instantly switch to another role, no longer the shy and bashful boy.

Was it because he was older than Chen Jiaxin? Or because of his role as a tutor?

Gu Fan wasn't interested in exploring this question. As long as Chen Jiaxin cooperated, everything else was irrelevant.

"You, you're so annoying! What time is it now? I'm not getting up!" Chen Jiaxin was almost driven mad. It wasn't even seven o'clock yet, was it?
