I Have MedicineCh6 - Threatening the Patron

The only place to exploit an opening…

Gu Zuo looked up and stared at a wall that was no less than ten meters tall, and silently pulled his gaze away. dcFypo

This villa was Tianheng’s private quarters, and this perimeter wall was what stood between him and the patron he so desperately needed to find.

It was such a pity that this wall was like a natural moat. He absolutely couldn’t cross it.

…At this critical juncture, why did it have to become so difficult!

After hiding for a while in the bushes beside the wall, Gu Zuo reluctantly retreated and walked back to the hilly crags behind him. sR1yfI

He was at an impasse. His funds were now lacking. After buying some steamed buns, he traveled to this desolate place using the local gossip.

He didn’t know why Gongyi Tianheng’s residence was so remote. Though these crags didn’t offer any places one could call home, there were still places that were somewhat suitable.

In fact, he found a cave to temporarily live in.

However, no matter how Tianheng selected his guards, their numbers patrolling the villa were not small. Gu Zuo currently had a good-for-nothing body. Were he to infiltrate the villa to hastily recommend himself, he would be instantly treated like a troublemaker and arrested — He didn’t have extravagant hopes for discussing human rights with those guards.

So Gu Zuo had been wandering around for two days and hadn’t found an opportunity.

Similarly, that night he habitually looked for a dog hole in the area around the wall, and still came up empty-handed.

Gu Zuo couldn’t help but complain in his mind: Why did this system always issue missions, but never gave rewards? If you gave me an invisibility pill or a wall penetrating pill, would I still have to exert myself to such an extent?

The system’s reply was as straightforward as ever. EoCU2j

[This system only provides a channel for technical learning, which is a form of “early rewards and late fees”. The item books obtained by the host are listed here to prevent the host from becoming lazy and spoiled, and walking down the wrong path in life.]

Gu Zuo: “…”

He asked one question and the system retorted with a hundred answers. Why not simply state that the storage space was empty?

Fine, that was reasonable. zbNuGk

Going back to the cave, he sat down cross-legged and his expression was a bit bleak.

During this month, ten days had quickly passed… Now, apart from practicing the three hand seals and developing his proficiency, he couldn’t do anything else.

Even after living for fifteen years, Gu Zuo never experienced so much hardship. But thinking about his goal made him clench his teeth and endure. Fortunately, during this time, his comprehension of the cultivation method unexpectedly deepened. The ambient qi energy of heaven and earth smoothly entered his body and his perceptions sharpened a little bit. He knew that his practice with the hand seals would gradually improve.

Somehow, his fumbling actions slowly bore fruit and through it all, he had a small hope. JsuzPS

After half an hour, Gu Zuo steadily spat out dark gases — Those were the impurities extracted from his body after cultivating. He now knew the profound power of the <<Divine Medicine Cultivation Method>>. Within just a few days, he could already sense that his body had gradually lightened… It seemed like his body was slowly purifying. This process was truly mysterious. What’s more, when he practiced those seals, the cultivation method automatically operated. By multitasking, he saved a lot of time.

Afterwards, Gu Zuo continued to practice his hand seals.

At this moment, his fingers rapidly fluttered, and his solemn expression unexpectedly gave him a dignified appearance. His smooth and beautiful motions seemed like floating clouds and flowing water. If he had some medicinal ingredients on hand, he could’ve given onlookers quite the impression.

Gu Zuo shot up. AdZwbt

This was a good time to fish in troubled waters!

No time to lose! While being as quiet as possible, he dashed to his destination.

When he got closer, he slowed down and hid between the trees to observe the situation.

Indeed, there was a good deal of martial artists dashing about and around the courtyard. b rjfu

They kept fighting each other with massively strong blows, and it didn’t look like the fight would be over any time soon.

So at this moment, if he was careful…

Gu Zuo detoured and, under the cover of night, avoided the attentions of both sides. He quickly circled around the wall for cover.

He held a long rope with a stone tied to the end. If he used enough force, he could tether the rope like a grappling hook to a tree in the rear courtyard. Then he could take this chance to infiltrate. YEeAg4

But as Gu Zuo stationed himself at the base of this tree, he suddenly discovered something hidden beneath the shrubs around the tree. He glanced down to peek and saw — He understood in an instant!

He said he’d never found a dog hole, but it was here under the tree all along. It was already blocked up… Well, there was no need to brave dangers with that other option.

Gu Zuo quickly brushed past the grass and plunged in.

He was very excited because after days — Days! — He’d finally entered the inner compound. uiSG9y

Next, he should search for traces of Gongyi Tianheng…

Gu Zuo carefully hid while sneaking around.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Outside, the fighting continued. Those assassins were all over the place. He listened closely and heard that the guards pursued any signs of activity. Apparently, Gongyi Tianheng was within the innermost courtyard and was peacefully admiring the full moon, even though the outside was still full of chaos. The guards wouldn’t let any assassin enter and disrupt the young master’s quiet… Plus, it was said that Tianheng preferred solitude. So, didn’t that mean that he was the only one in there right now?

Wasn’t this a great opportunity? Or rather, wasn’t this the only opportunity? QJ8Pdz

Gu Zuo became resolute. His fast movements were very quiet.

His search went smoothly as the guards were preoccupied fighting on the periphery, far away, since they absolutely didn’t want to disturb Gongyi Tianheng. At this time, Gu Zuo found an open space that had a clear view of the night sky.

Time flew by neither slow nor fast. He took in the view of this sole courtyard and when he saw a man sitting away from him, bathed in moonlight, his heart began to throb.

Stay calm, stay calm… h3sxcV

Gu Zuo took out a dagger hidden in his boot and slowly approached.

Then, he suddenly leaped ahead with his fastest speed. Gu Zuo rushed against the figure’s back and used one hand to restrain his shoulder and the other to grip the dagger against his neck!

At that time, Gu Zuo discovered that he was holding his own breath.

His voice trembled: “Young Master Gongyi, don’t think about moving! I, I won’t hurt you. I only want to make a deal with you.” nE4C5f

After that, a rather low and magnetic voice spoke: “Oh?”

This tone was very steady.

“What deal do you want to make?”

The voice of this terribly attractive man distracted Gu Zuo. Yet, he quickly regained his bearings and said: “I’ll cure your illness and you’ll provide me with medicinal ingredients!” IpUcs3

He said this and felt that it was a little unyielding. He supportingly added: “En. How about it?”

The person in front leisurely opened his mouth: “So, you’ve come just to recommend yourself.”

Gu Zuo: “…You could say that.”

There was some doubt in the man’s voice: “Since you’ve recommended yourself, why choose this method?” omhJS5

Gu Zuo sucked in a breath.

After he muttered: “I’m too young…”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Yes, age was also a big problem. Who could be convinced that such a young teenager had any skill? What’s more, he only started studying recently, and had a huge secret.

He could only think of underhanded methods like this. qyvNe9

After a moment of silence, Gu Zuo’s heart began beating faster and faster.

In the end, was this okay? Really, was it good or not? Say something! Don’t just hem and haw like an old grandma!

Finally, the young man spoke again, and his speed was slow and measured: “If I refuse, do you want to kill me?”

Gu Zuo blurted out without thinking: “How could I?” oYiEz9

Business was not a matter of righteousness, but it was disadvantageous to harm this person’s life. He couldn’t do it. Moreover, if he dared to do this, he wouldn’t be able to escape and would certainly be beaten to death!

“Then?”

Gu Zuo took a deep breath: “…Then, I can only ask Young Master Gongyi to accompany me for a little trip to ensure my safe escape, and let you return home.”

After hearing this, the young man smiled. 30nZXx

He seemed so happy that he trembled a little bit, but then he coughed softly.

Between his laughter, he intermittently said: “Then, I accept.” He gasped for a few mouthfuls of air, “Let’s make a deal.”

Gu Zuo took a breath.

Your mother! He really agreed! Excellent, this young master was really awesome. He had such an open heart! x9j5kg

With great difficultly, that person slowly reined in his laughter, and tranquilly said: “Since I agreed, won’t you lay down your weapon? When we hash out this deal, shouldn’t we do it face to face?”

Gu Zuo knew that this person’s reputation was as good as gold. His impression of Gongyi Tianheng was likewise impeccable. But his secret was too important, so he firmly spoke: “First, we’ll set a contract.”

The person in front paused: “You don’t trust me?”

Gu Zuo didn’t hesitate: “I will trust you more in the future!” eQzTVu

He knew that Tianheng also held some doubts and quickly explained, “Rest assured, this is to give both of us safeguards. This contract is definitely one that’ll benefit us both. This one would prevent us from harming the other and is very simple to sign.”

After, he didn’t wait for his response. His left hand lifted in front of Tianheng’s face and performed a complex gesture. It was so fast that faint ripples of air flowed through his fingers. In the wake of this gesture, a mysterious and obscure power gathered.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

To avoid Tianheng’s refusal, Gu Zuo’s mouth was not idle: “Through this testimony on this day — You, Gongyi Tianheng, shall become my, Gu Zuo’s, path protector. To our respective partner in this contract, we shall do no harm, and we shall administer aid…”

After that quick oath, there was still a trace of shame in his heart: “If you agree, then place a drop of your blood in my hand.” 0jDdlm

The person in front moved and extended his hand. He slowly grasped the dagger being held at his throat and gave himself a small nick.

Blood flowed into Gu Zuo’s outstretched hand, and Gu Zuo cut his own finger to drip blood into the same place, mixing them together thoroughly.

At last, the contract was sealed!

Gu Zuo immediately withdrew his dagger and pivoted around the man to face him. In a cheerful mood, he spoke: “Now we can properly discuss—” MGqxO5

When he got a clear view of Gongyi Tianheng’s face, his mind blanked.

Long, slender eyebrows extending under his fringe. Pupils that shone like twinkling stars. A strong nose that hinted at a courageous figure… Thin lips that were slightly pursed.

Although he was sickly, his skin was a lustrous white, like pearls or jade. Beneath the moonlight, his whole body seemed to glow.

After Gu Zuo’s reaction, he blinked a few times. CUB934

Simply put, this newly appointed patron’s handsome features were out of this world.

If you were a scholar, you could say his beauty was divine. If you were an average guy, you’d shout that this was just the public enemy of all men!
