Xiao Han narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Do you know that old fellow?"
Taken aback, Su Quanzhong had not expected Xiao Han to refer to his master in such a way. He nodded and said, "Indeed, I had the fortune to meet the elder once. He saved me, which is why I am still alive today."
Hearing Su Quanzhong's words, Su Muqing suddenly widened her eyes. She had once heard that her second uncle nearly died from an illness, but then a highly skilled person appeared and cured him in a very short time. Ever since, Su Muqing had held great admiration and respect for that skilled individual.
Now, realizing from their conversation that the skilled person was Xiao Han's master, she wondered how a disciple of such a revered person could behave so poorly. Su Muqing had not thought about the fact that Xiao Han was actually not bad at all; otherwise, she would not have taken a liking to him at first sight, even leading to some confusing events between them.
Realizing it was his master who had once saved the man, Xiao Han smiled. He glanced at Su Muqing and said, "That's great then. Just make it official and let Qingqing be my wife. She's been a bit rebellious lately, not wanting to acknowledge me as her husband."
"Qingqing, what exactly is your relationship with Xiao Han?" Su Quanzhong asked with a beaming smile.
Seeing her second uncle's expression, Su Muqing knew well that the old man was definitely not thinking anything decent. She felt a shiver down her spine and quickly denied it, saying, "Second Uncle, he and I just have a normal teacher-student relationship, nothing more. Don't listen to his nonsense."
Xiao Han was not satisfied, he bluntly said, "Then what was the deal with us playing 'have a baby' that night? "
"Shush."
Su Muqing's face turned completely red. She had not expected Xiao Han to actually bring that up. How could he think of such a phrase?
Su Quanzhong was momentarily stunned. He clearly understood what Xiao Han meant. In fact, he was completely willing to have his niece associated with the disciple of the Evil Doctor.
"So you both are that close already. But Qingqing, did you forget about the marriage your father arranged for you?" Su Quanzhong looked at Xiao Han and spoke out.
Su Muqing turned pale, biting her lip fiercely, she said, "I will never marry that trash."
"Who dares to compete with me for my wife? Second Uncle, who is this guy? Tell me, I'll finish him off," Xiao Han was upset, to find out his wife had an arranged marriage; he wanted to kill someone.
Su Quanzhong was also choked up by Xiao Han's words. How could this guy be so quick to resort to killing?
"Actually, there's no need to kill anyone. You just need to win over my elder brother's approval and get him to cancel the marriage," Su Quanzhong quickly said.
"Alright, I'll go find your elder brother. If he doesn't agree, I'll finish him off," Xiao Han said boastfully.
Su Muqing, glaring daggers, could not believe Xiao Han would dare to speak about killing her own father. Unable to hold back, she gave Xiao Han a knock on the head and yelled, "Shut your mouth."
Xiao Han covered his mouth, looking like a wronged little wife.
"Pfft."
Su Muqing collapsed in laughter. This man was just too ridiculous.
Su Quanzhong was also torn between laughter and helplessness. The Evil Doctor was known for being severe and detached, yet his disciple turned out to be such a character.
"Taking out my elder brother definitely won't do, you should try your best. As long as Qingqing's health is restored, my brother will surely agree to your relationship, because the condition offered by the other party is also to cure Qingqing's body." Su Quanzhong glanced at Su Muqing, a trace of tenderness in his eyes.
Su Muqing, puzzled, furrowed her beautiful brows and could not help but ask, "What's wrong with my body?" She looked utterly bewildered. Having lived so long, she had always thought herself perfectly healthy.
"Innate Pulse, you have at most two more months to live. Have you been having nightmares lately? Constantly seeing ghosts coming to catch you?" Xiao Han glanced at Su Muqing and asked indifferently.
Su Muqing's eyes widened in shock as she exclaimed, "How do you know?"
Clearly, Xiao Han had hit the mark, and his description matched her current state. Initially, Su Muqing had thought her mental distress was due to her father forcing her to marry under immense pressure. Now, it turned out to be something called Innate Pulse, and the dowry proposed by her fiancé was to cure her body.
"Nightmares may not just be nightmares. Your life is not yet at an end, and your fate is not yet fulfilled, so it's only a dream for now. After some time, it might not be a dream anymore." Xiao Han's voice wasn't loud, but it sent chills down Su Muqing's spine.
If it wasn't a nightmare, could it actually be real ghosts? She shivered.
"Don't scare me." Casting a glare at Xiao Han, Su Muqing forced herself to calm down.
Shrugging, Xiao Han said to Su Quanzhong, "Tell your elder brother that in ten days, it will be the 15th day of the lunar month when Yin Energy is at its peak. That night, I'll treat my wife and get rid of that wretched toad. Let him stay far away. Innate Pulse can only be cured by the lineage of the Evil Doctor."
"Alright," Su Quanzhong answered without any hesitation.
The two left the principal's office together. Su Muqing cast a glance at Xiao Han, wondering if this guy really had such abilities.
Even then, she found it hard to believe the diagnosis about her condition. Innate Pulse, as if this were some TV drama.
Su Muqing didn't speak, and neither did Xiao Han. They just followed behind Su Muqing, continuing on their way.
Many students, upon seeing this, couldn't help but be astonished. The goddess teacher had a man following her, and although they weren't talking, their proximity suggested an unusual relationship.
"What did you say? A man is following Su Muqing?" In a villa-like dormitory, a young man suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with gloom.
"Exactly, their relationship seems unusual. I went to our sister-in-law's office to listen around, and I heard that the man's name is Xiao Han, a student of our sister-in-law's, but he was calling her 'wife' yesterday," a student-looking young man reported respectfully.
The young man's face turned slightly sour as he took a deep breath and said, "Let's go."
He stood up, taking the student with him and leaving the villa.
"Wife, I'm so bored, let's have kids," Xiao Han finally couldn't resist and blurted out to Su Muqing after walking for a while.
Rolling her eyes at Xiao Han, Su Muqing replied tersely, "If you have nothing else to do, go to class. I remember you have class today."
"I don't feel like attending class," Xiao Han insisted, staring at Su Muqing with a naked longing that made her shiver.
She knew what Xiao Han had in mind, but naturally, she wouldn't agree while she was sober.
"Qingqing, you're here," a calm male voice rang out, and Su Muqing breathed a sigh of relief.
