Chapter 62

"Shume, thank you!" Qin Muyu said gratefully upon hearing Cheng Shume's words.

"I should be a bit older than you, Muyu... Be a bit stronger, I believe that with Mr. Gu here, your life won't be taken by fate." Cheng Shume reached out to hold Qin Muyu's hand and squeezed it tightly.

Feeling the kindness conveyed by Cheng Shume, Qin Muyu felt a warmth in her heart and said softly, "I will definitely strive to live, for a very, very long time!"

Gu Fan smiled and said, "Muyu, you should first take care of Shume. She can't absorb right now. Wait until she feels the hunger to absorb before we conduct the experiment. In the meantime, I will give you another treatment!"

"Okay!" Qin Muyu nodded.

Cheng Shume had no objections; she would just follow Gu Fan's instructions.

Gu Fan reminded Cheng Shume to rest well and not to meet Chu Xiaowei and Chen Jiaxin, then he and Qin Muyu went to the original room.

Actually, it would be safer in the underground secret room, but Gu Fan thought that if he were to absorb the innate yin energy again, and if there were still so many ashes, it would be terrifying if he couldn't clean up in time.

"Do you need to rest a bit?" It was already late at night, and Gu Fan had hardly rested at all.

"No, I have plenty of energy! Every second of your time is incredibly precious, so try not to waste it!" Gu Fan said seriously.

The more he felt the total amount of innate yin energy in Qin Muyu's body, the more uneasy he became...

Having a firm belief is a good thing, but in this world, just having a firm belief doesn't mean you can do anything.

What if Qin Muyu can't hold on...

Well, that would damage the prestige of the Immortal Doctor Sect!

Qin Muyu was deeply moved by Gu Fan's words. Of course, if she knew that Gu Fan was only thinking about how her inability to hold on would damage the prestige of the Immortal Doctor Sect, she might have a different reaction.

Qin Muyu quickly took off her clothes and stood naked before Gu Fan.

She wasn't embarrassed the first time, so she wasn't this time either.

And Gu Fan seemed to have adapted; although his blood still surged, everything was under control.

After experiencing the pain of refining the innate yin energy, Gu Fan's willpower had greatly improved.

Willpower can't be seen or touched, but it can be felt... When faced with the same temptation, your self-reaction can determine whether your willpower has strengthened or weakened.

Of course, with stronger willpower, one's self-control also increases. Gu Fan found himself appreciating Qin Muyu more. She was truly a work of art, full of allure.

Women are truly a masterpiece of heaven.

Qin Muyu's face was slightly flushed; she could clearly feel where Gu Fan's gaze swept over, as if scanning her body.

Although she had already decided on Gu Fan, being scrutinized so thoroughly while completely naked still made her blush out of instinct.

However, when Gu Fan focused his mind and took out the silver needles, the feeling of being scanned disappeared... For some reason, Qin Muyu felt a bit of disappointment.

"Actually, no matter whether I can hold on or not, I want to become a real woman before I turn 22!" Qin Muyu sighed slightly, her eyes filled with tenderness as she looked at Gu Fan.

With the experience from the last time and the increased physical strength, Gu Fan's overall quality had improved. The initial acupuncture went more smoothly.

When the second array of the Immortal Doctor was formed again, and Gu Fan's spiritual energy surged, Qin Muyu, like last time, formed another defensive line with her own spiritual energy.

The two didn't need any words; they were well-coordinated, as if they had默契 (a tacit understanding).

But the next part wasn't so simple. Their expressions became more serious.

Of course, compared to the last time, they had more experience. For example, they knew how to control the amount of innate yin energy 'activated' to minimize the danger!

As the innate yin energy surged through the silver needles into Gu Fan's body, the pain Qin Muyu endured during the process was greatly reduced.

"Xinxin, look, there's another reply on this forum!" Chu Xiaowei called out to Chen Jiaxin, "This person says they have a vague memory!"

Chen Jiaxin, who was typing on a computer, quickly rushed to Chu Xiaowei's side and stared at the computer screen.

"Xiaowei, reply to him immediately, and hope he can provide more specific information!" Chen Jiaxin said, "Give him some virtual coins; a reward will surely bring out the brave!"

"Okay!" Chu Xiaowei immediately started typing.

After dinner, the two entered the room and, feeling depressed, began chatting. The conversation eventually turned to Chen Jiaxin.

Since Chen Jiaxin was eager to check if there were any new messages on the forums, she explained everything to Chu Xiaowei.

Chu Xiaowei finally understood that Chen Jiaxin had this side to her.

Despite her excellent academic performance, she had hidden it, all to get back at her mother. This was truly bizarre.

But after understanding the reason, Chu Xiaowei could somewhat empathize with Chen Jiaxin.

After all, every child has the right to know about their father.

But Chen Jiaxin knew nothing. Every time she asked, she would get either Chen Wanqing's anger or cold rejection.

Over time, this formed a strong rebellious attitude in Chen Jiaxin, which was understandable.

Now that Chen Jiaxin had the heart to seek the truth, perhaps out of sympathy, or to help a friend, or out of curiosity, Chu Xiaowei joined in, helping Chen Jiaxin be active on various forums.

Interacting with people on the forums.

The most important aspect of online communication is interaction.

The more interaction, the more active the netizens become.

Moreover, Chu Xiaowei, who had done academic research and was active on academic forums, told Chen Jiaxin that netizens actually valued virtual coins a lot. If they could get some virtual coins, it would greatly boost their enthusiasm.

Chen Jiaxin immediately praised this idea and recharged on various forums, spending tens of thousands of yuan to get a large amount of virtual coins.

With the stimulation of virtual coins, the activity of the posts and the content of the replies changed immediately.

Money can't change everything, but it can change a lot.

"How about it? Did he reply?" Chen Jiaxin had already run to her own computer, as she needed to monitor other forums as well.

"No! This person seems to be gone, and he didn't even thank me for the virtual coins!" Chu Xiaowei frowned.

Chen Jiaxin's face showed undeniable disappointment.

"Don't worry, there are so many netizens, spread across various places. As long as we continue to search, we will eventually find some clues!" Seeing Chen Jiaxin's disappointed face, Chu Xiaowei tried to comfort her.

Nothing can be achieved instantly.

Chu Xiaowei, who had done research, understood this deeply.

A research project may not seem difficult when the results are presented, but starting from scratch, you would realize how challenging it is.

Just like anything else, when you are in a situation with no clear path, what you need is exploration, and the most important thing in exploration is patience.

"Okay!" Chen Jiaxin nodded.

However, it was getting late, and the active netizens were becoming fewer. Chen Jiaxin and Chu Xiaowei, feeling very tired, had no choice but to turn off their computers.

"Let's sleep. Maybe when we wake up tomorrow, there will be valuable clues on the forum!" Chu Xiaowei smiled, as she was an outsider and had a relatively relaxed attitude.

"Okay!" Chen Jiaxin was very depressed but could only nod in this situation.

They had booked a large room with a big bed, so they didn't sleep separately but together!

After washing up, they got into bed, but suddenly found it hard to fall asleep.

"Xiaowei, are you asleep?" Chen Jiaxin gently touched Chu Xiaowei and asked softly.

"Not yet!" Chu Xiaowei replied softly.

"Do you think Brother Gu Fan can save Sister Muyu? Sister Muyu is so pitiful!" Chen Jiaxin murmured.

"I don't know!" Chu Xiaowei shook her head lightly. She didn't understand martial arts, inner strength, or innate yin energy, so how could she judge? Without a basic understanding, she was completely in the dark.

"I hope Sister Muyu will have a stroke of luck!" Chen Jiaxin sighed, admiring Qin Muyu for facing death with such a positive attitude.

"Good people don't always live long; I wonder how fate defines human nature!" Chu Xiaowei murmured. "But there is something mysterious between Muyu and Gu Fan. The conclusion made 14 years ago, and their meeting in the last three days, is like a myth, making it seem incredible. Perhaps Gu Fan can really bring a miracle!"

"If he can, can Sister Lele's mother also be treated?" Chen Jiaxin suddenly asked.

"I don't know!" Chu Xiaowei's heart stirred; this was something worth trying.

"I hope so. Sister Lele is so cheerful, optimistic, and kind. This kind of blow is really unfair to her!" Chen Jiaxin said, a bit troubled. "I've found that growing up isn't good either! There are so many worries..."

Chu Xiaowei laughed and couldn't help but hug Chen Jiaxin, saying softly, "Life is always full of ups and downs. Although I'm not much older, I have a few more years of experience. We may not be able to change much, but we can make our hearts stronger. Whether it's up or down, we should face it calmly; that's the right attitude towards life!"

"Xiaowei, I don't fully understand, but what you said sounds very reasonable!" Chen Jiaxin laughed.

"You little thing, go to sleep!" Chu Xiaowei said helplessly.

"Okay, good night!"

"Good night!"
