And Tempering An Unsullied Body - Chapter 212

Fang Qingshan almost choked on her words. Looking at Fang Qinyu’s slightly red eyes, his heart softened a little and he could not help but sigh.

“Forget it. It’s also my fault for spoiling you since you were young. That’s why you have such a lawless character. What if you get married in the future?”

Fang Qinyu held onto Fang Qingshan’s arm and said coquettishly, “I won’t get married. I want to accompany Father for the rest of my life.”

When she said this, it was unknown whether it was intentional or not. Her gaze fell on Gu Xi. The tip of her snow-white ears quietly turned a little red, as if she had applied some rouge on her snow-white face. However, it was hidden in her hair and was not easy to be discovered.

“Nonsense! How can a girl not get married when she grows up! If you stay with me for the rest of your life, won’t you just become an old lady?!”

“So what if I become an old lady?!”

Fang Qinyu’s words made Fang Qingshan burst into laughter.

Seeing that he had no intention to pursue the matter further, Fang Qinyu struck while the iron was hot, “Father, don’t believe the one-sided words of Senior Brother and the others. It was this Young Master who saved me.”

Fang Qingshan had long noticed Gu Xi by the side. Seeing that his daughter was actually extremely protective of him, he immediately snorted coldly and did not have a good expression.

It was obvious that Gu Xi was seriously injured.

…

“He’s no different from a cripple. How can he save you?”

Fang Qinyu could not explain the situation at that time. After all, the feeling at that time was too wonderful. Even she herself could not tell if it was reality or an illusion when she swung that sword.

“Father, please believe in your daughter. I’ve never lied to you since I was young, and I’ve never begged you for anything. This time, I’m begging you to save him and treat his injuries.”

Seeing Fang Qinyu’s serious expression, Fang Qingshan was stunned on the spot.

“Please, Father, I beg you.”

Unable to resist Fang Qinyu’s request, Fang Qingshan had no choice but to reluctantly agree. He sent out a wisp of his spiritual sense, but it was as if he had crashed into an endless sea. He could not find out anything.

One had to know that this kind of situation was unprecedented, not to mention that the person in front of him was only a heavily injured ordinary person who had lost all of his cultivation.

Fang Qingshan’s expression immediately changed drastically.

“Who exactly are you!”

Seeing Fang Qingshan’s sudden change in expression, the killing intent released from his eyes startled Fang Qinyu, and she subconsciously stood in front of Gu Xi to protect him.

“Father, what are you doing!”

Looking at Fang Qinyu, Fang Qingshan said bitterly, “Qinyu, get out of the way. This kid’s origin is unknown. Don’t fall for his trick!”

Fang Qinyu asked in confusion, “Why is his origin unknown? Although Big Brother Gu came from a remote place, he definitely has no evil intentions.”

Fang Qingshan held Gu Xi tightly, as if he wanted to see through him.

“Just now, my spiritual sense wanted to check his injuries, but found nothing. There are only two situations. Either he has a top-grade magical artifact on him that can block anyone’s prying eyes, or he is hiding something and is not injured at all.”

Either way, it proved that Gu Xi was not a simple person.

“Where on Earth did you come from? Why did you get close to my daughter and sneak into Moyu Tower?!”

Spiritual energy gathered in Fang Qingshan’s hand. It seemed peaceful, but in fact, it felt like a storm was coming. The invisible pressure made the temperature drop by a few degrees, making it hard for people to breathe.

Faced with such pressure, Gu Xi’s expression did not change. “I think Tower Master Fang might have a misunderstanding. I don’t have any purpose.”

Fang Qingshan sneered, “Misunderstanding?”

Fang Qinyu hurriedly explained at the side, “Father, we were the ones who found him in the Phantom Forest. Seeing that he was heavily injured and worried that he would be attacked by demon beasts, we brought him along.”

Seeing Fang Qinyu’s anxious expression, her words and words were all excuses for Gu Xi. She was a typical example of someone who was trying to help others.

“Qinyu, you’re muddle-headed. How would you know that this isn’t a ploy to harm you?”

“If it’s a trick, you wouldn’t risk your life.”

Seeing how stubborn Fang Qinyu was and how she protected Gu Xi, Fang Qingshan could not do anything.

“Father, please take a look at him. Brother Gu’s injuries are really serious.”

Fang Qingshan looked at Gu Xi coldly. “For Qinyu’s sake, I’ll treat you. If I find out that your injuries are fake, I won’t let you off.”

After all, catching a thief required getting dirty. Seeing that Fang Qinyu trusted Gu Xi so much, it was impossible for her to believe him without some real evidence.

A transparent thread flew out of Fang Qingshan’s sleeve and connected to Gu Xi’s wrist.

Sensing that Fang Qingshan had no intention of harming him, Gu Xi did not resist.

“You–”

Fang Qingshan frowned slightly. The creases between his brows seemed to be able to squash a mosquito. This time, his expression was even more surprised. Even though he was well-informed, he could not help but be surprised by this chaotic pulse.

Fang Qinyu was a little anxious. “What happened, Father?”

Fang Qingshan lowered his vigilance. The person in front of him had indeed lost all of his cultivation and spiritual power. There was absolutely no possibility of faking his pulse.

Most importantly, his meridians seemed to have gone through some kind of violent force and were completely crushed. It was a terrible sight to behold. Moreover, this mysterious force was still rampaging inside his body, destroying the few remaining intact meridians.

“If it was an ordinary person who had suffered such serious injuries, they would have died long ago. However, this kid’s life was extremely great. His body was like a leaky bucket. Coincidentally, because of this, he had reached an extremely ingenious balance.”

Fang Qinyu was instantly stunned on the spot. He did not expect Gu Xi’s injuries to be so serious.

“Then, then is there any way to cure it? Father, your medical skills are brilliant. You will definitely have a way.”
