Chereads / IMMORTAL UNIVERSE / Chapter 26 - GU FENG

Chapter 26 - GU FENG

Today was the day he prepared to visit Gu Jian's father and cure his serious illness.

Gu Jian was waiting for Xu Yuan's arrival, and he was waiting under the peach tree near Xu Yuan's residence.

Xu Yuan himself only brought a few tools and immediately went to see Gu Jian.

"Come on! We're leaving now!" He said calmly.

There was a shiny brown horse carriage not far from them, and it was the horse carriage that Xu Yuan would use to get to Gu Jian's hometown.

During the trip, they occasionally chatted and even joked with each other.

Until they reach their destination, Gu Jian's hometown itself is close to the city of Heiyan but even deeper.

Xu Yuan looked around, and he saw many trees lined up. This personal guard's hometown was like an uninhabited forest.

A few tens of meters in front of them, a simple house stood firmly with a clean yard, as often cleaned by the house owner.

"Young master, sorry if the place makes you a little uncomfortable, we can't buy houses in urban areas because taxes are high and house prices are also higher..." He said in a guilty tone.

Gu Jian was a little worried that Xu Yuan would feel uncomfortable in his environment. However, Gu Jian and his father's home environment was not like most houses in urban areas.

Xu Yuan smiled faintly, then he said, "You don't need to be like that, instead you choose a good place, the air here is very clean, it's calmer too. Your father will find it easier to rest in an environment like this."

Seeing that simple house made him remember when he was still living a life full of hardships in his previous life when he was a bad boy.

At that time, his mother and father would be delighted when they caught wild chickens, Xu Yuan would help his mother cook the food, and his father would help start the fire.

Even though they were experiencing economic hardship, a family of three was delighted until Xu Yuan got a scholarship to attend a prestigious school thanks to his intelligence.

He managed to enter high school when he was 13 years old, and he only carried out his junior high school for a year. At that time, the Beijing government was amazed by his talent and allowed him to study at Harvard University, which paid 100,000 dollars per semester.

Time slowly eroded, both of his parents died, and he was given many titles until he had 20 titles in his previous life. It was all because of his genius brain, some people even feared, that Xu Yuan had the same IQ as Albert Einstein or Graham Bell.

Gu Jian immediately brought Xu Yuan into his simple house, and Xu Yuan could see that there were some items or home decorations that looked quite old.

Meanwhile, in the room of the modest house, a middle-aged man who was older than Xu Liang was lying limply with a cough that he kept coughing out.

"Father!" Gu Jian walked over to his father, Cave Feng.

Xu Yuan also saw Gu Feng lying on a fragile plank, and his wrinkled face looked ashen. Xu Yuan, who saw that, became a little worried about Gu Feng's condition.

"Jian'er… Cough! Cough! Shouldn't you be in town?" Gu Feng asked his son with difficulty.

Gu Jian took Gu Feng's hand and replied, "No father, I'm no longer a bodyguard of the Xu family, I'm resigning… Now this unfilial son of yours will accompany father..." He said sadly.

Gu Feng, who heard his son's words, widened his eyes and tried to get up from sleep, but his body was still too weak. He couldn't move much.

"You brat! Why did you resign? Cough! Cough! You know how hard it is to be a bodyguard of a noble family, go! Take back your words! Your father is fine."

Gu Feng didn't want his son to be unemployed just because of him, he had been suffering from a serious illness from several years ago, and he had not recovered.

During that time, he rarely smiled. Gu Feng could no longer display his mighty side as he used to when he was healthy.

Ten years ago, Gu Feng was Xu Liang's bodyguard, Xu Yuan's father. His cultivation level was also practically on the same level as Xu Liang's, but he was forced to quit his job and live his days in torment because of his illness.

Xu Liang had tried to help Gu Feng recover from his illness. All the healers in city Xianjin tried to cure him, but the result was unfortunate. None of them knew what type of illness Gu Feng was.

From that day on, Gu Feng placed his hopes in his only child, Gu Jian. Xu Liang also entrusted gu Jian to look after his son, Xu Yuan. Gu Jiang was also why Gu Feng was still willing to live his life even though it was harrowing and torturous for him.

Gu Jian shook his head vigorously, "No, I won't leave father alone anymore… After all, young master doesn't need me anymore, he can take care of himself, now my only job is to take care of dad."

Xu Yuan, who saw that became moved, the spectacle in front of him like the drama scene often he watched when he was on earth, a child who regretted his actions.

Xu Yuan stepped forward, no longer standing behind Gu Jian, "Uncle Gu, I am Xu Yuan the son of Xu Liang, I heard about the greatness of uncle when uncle was still guarding my father, my father also respects uncle very much. I'm here to see how uncle is doing, who knows if I can cure him," He said politely.

His arrival took Gu Feng by surprise, and he didn't notice Xu Yuan's whereabouts.

Xu Yuan was indeed planning to help cure Gu Feng's illness. However, this Gu Jian's father had saved his father's life in the past, and Xu Yuan would not let Gu Feng go just like that.

After all, with the system in place, it was very likely that Gu Feng's illness would be cured practically.

"Young master doesn't have to be like that… Cough! Cough! My death is in sight, young master really doesn't need to waste energy just to save me, even Master Xu can't do much about my illness."

What Gu Feng said was true. Xu Liang alone couldn't do much about it. His illness, let alone Xu Yuan, he wasn't even sure that Xu Yuan would be able to detect what kind of illness he had.

Xu Yuan, who heard that, just chuckled, "Uncle Gu, that is my father, and I am me. We're both different, maybe we used to be, but with me here nothing is impossible." He said confidently.

His words made Gu Feng sigh softly, and he thought this Xu Yuan was too proud of himself.

Gu Jian, who had seen how severe his father's illness was, did not believe Xu Yuan's words. He had heard from several doctors that his father's illness was impossible to cure when he had money.

Xu Yuan, who noticed Gu Feng and Gu Jian's doubts, just chuckled. He understood the reaction of the two people in front of him. After all, he used to be just a useless kid who couldn't do anything and now suddenly said that he could easily cure Gu Feng's illness.

Of course, Gu Feng and Gu Jian wouldn't believe it that easily.

"Alright alright… It's fine if you two don't believe me, but allow me to check on Uncle Gu's condition, how about it?" he said.

Gu Feng just smiled a little and said, "Alright, young master can check my state."

Xu Yuan directly asked the system, and the system immediately gave him a very satisfactory answer.

Gu Feng's condition was indeed terrible, even less than 10% of his life energy remained, but with the system in his brain, Xu Yuan could easily take care of it like turning the palm of his hand.

Xu Yuan smiled slightly, he knew how to cure Gu Feng, and it only required 50 exchange points.

Gu Jian asked him, "So how is young master? Can young master cure him?"

Even though Gu Jian knew that Xu Yuan couldn't cure his father's illness, he still had hope in Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan recently shocked him. The only person he had to look after had a disability who couldn't do much and desperately needed his protection.

But now, that crippled figure had suddenly turned so powerful, and even Gu Jian wasn't his rival. Xu Yuan was now a genius among geniuses, a monster among monsters.

Xu Yuan looked at Gu Jian, then chuckled, "Hey, are you kidding me? Healing Uncle Gu is as easy as turning my palm."
