The moment Gu Jin stepped into the room, her Heavenly Eye had already opened.

Lying on the bed, Wanqi Heyang’s internal organs were failing, and his cultivation had regressed.

Even his life force was gradually dissipating.

A heavy light appeared in her eyes as she quickly moved to the bedside, using her Phoenix Spirit Technique to swiftly seal several of his major arteries.

"He was ambushed, his cultivation already completely destroyed. It’s a miracle he’s still alive,"

Gu Jin turned and said to the members of the Wanqi Family.

"Who could be so ruthless, repeatedly using such vicious means on my Wanqi family members!" The Family Head’s face was full of anger and heartache for his youngest son.

Gu Jin’s eyes showed contemplation: "That’s for you to find out. Investigate all those who were with him last night thoroughly." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"We’ve checked, and there’s no suspicious person. Those with Xiaoyang last night were all friends he’s known for many years."

It was Wanqi Jingyi who said this.

Gu Jin: "Remember, last time the Sixth Young Master was attacked by people from the Short Country. Could they be involved this time too?"

"People from the Short Country?!"

"People from the Short Country?"

The Wanqi family members were all shocked.

They really didn’t know that last time Wanqi Yihai was schemed against, it involved people from the Short Country.

Although they went to investigate in Wanhai City afterward, they didn’t find any trace of people from the Short Country.

Gu Jin nodded slightly at them: "It was the people from the Short Country. They are very discreet, you could even say they are imperceptible."

When Immortal Wanqi heard of people from the Short Country, her eyes showed intense killing intent.

She tightened her grip on her cane, gazing deeply at Gu Jin: "Miss Gu, can Xiaoyang be rescued?"

"Yes."

Gu Jin replied decisively and crisply, and amidst the relieved looks of the Wanqi Family members, she added a turn of phrase: "However—"

A "however" represented various twists and turns, and everyone’s hearts were suddenly on edge.

"However what?" The Family Head’s expression was tense.

With a calm demeanor, Gu Jin said, "Even if the Fourth Young Master is saved, he will become an ordinary person, with no cultivation whatsoever."

"As long as we can save his life!" Although Immortal Wanqi was heartbroken, nothing was more important than her grandson’s life.

The Family Head also looked deeply pained, knowing well his youngest son’s obsession with cultivation.

Otherwise, how could he be so young and yet have cultivation equivalent to his father’s?

"There is another option."

As everyone was coming to terms with the fact that rescuing Wanqi Heyang meant he would become a waste, Gu Jin offered another choice.

Still sunk in distress for his brother, the eldest of the Wanqi Family asked, "Master, what option?"

Gu Jin pushed the silent An Mingji, who had been standing by her side, in front of everyone: "Let the Fourth Young Master become an apprentice to little An. With his cultivation of the Mystic Sky Technique to restore yang energy, after a year of nurturing, not only will his cultivation suffer no loss, but it will become even more stable."

"..."

"..."

The emotions of the crowd were as thrilling as a rollercoaster ride.

"Then let Xiaoyang apprentice to Young Master An!" Immortal Wanqi’s attitude was the quickest and most decisive.

Gu Jin smiled but did not immediately nod in agreement.

Instead, she turned to An Mingji, gently asking: "Little An, do you want to take the Fourth Young Master as your apprentice?"

An Mingji didn’t expect this matter to involve him.

He calmly gazed into Gu Jin’s beautiful eyes, and asked back: "Ajin, do you want me to take him as an apprentice?"

Gu Jin laughed, saying only: "You and Wanqi Heyang have a connection."

"Okay." The young man nodded.

He did not even ask what kind of connection, just agreed so.
