”One hundred and fifty thousand for a set of golden needles. The current Young people really can spend money!” Some people in the crowd sighed. Although they were all businessmen and were able to attend the banquet, they were still willing to spend so much just to get a set of 10 grams and not look too good.

”Can't you see that this is a competition between Young people s? However, that little fellow from the Ling Family, has lost face this time.” The one who spoke was more or less a schadenfreude.

An Zhixuan stood beside Ling Feng, extending his hand and patting him on the shoulder: ”Young Master Ling, it's just a set of golden needles, forget it, it'll still be there for a long time.”

Rather than calling it consoling, it would be better to call it taking the opportunity to provoke them.

As expected, when the enraged Ling Feng heard An Zhixuan's words, his eyes turned blood-red and his teeth clenched tightly. From within his teeth, he forced out a few words, ”I'll definitely teach him a lesson!”

”I believe that.” An Zhixuan said softly from the side, a trace of malice was hidden deep within his eyes. ”He couldn't possibly have been hiding in the Chu Clan all this time, right? In my opinion, I don't know what methods this bumpkin used to make Chu Clan happy, but if something really happened to him, Chu Clan wouldn't stand up for such a person.”

”This matter will not end just like that.” Ling Feng shot a cold glance at Liu Du, and hatefully said: ”However, this matter, is related to you. When the time comes, you must help me.”

An Zhixuan's brows furrowed slightly. He smiled and said, ”Alright. I'll definitely stand on your side.”

An Zhixuan did his best not because of his cousin Chen Yong, but more importantly, he himself also liked Meng Yuqing. In the past, it was just not easy to compete with his cousin, but now that cousin withdrew, he had a lot of ideas.

After beating Liu Du, he would naturally clear the obstacles when he pursued Meng Yuqing. Thinking of this, An Zhixuan smiled proudly. A bumpkin, even if he hugged Chu Clan's thigh, he would still be a bumpkin.

Liu Du did not know about all this. He had obtained the set of golden needles and was extremely happy. This time, he had a higher chance of winning against Chuchu's illness.

He gently took out a long needle from his needle bag and held it in his hand. He wanted to take a closer look, but when he held the needle in his hand, an indescribable feeling rose from the bottom of his heart.

It was as if there was some sort of connection between this golden needle and his Yin-Yang Formula. The two streams of energy, one hot and one cold, suddenly became extremely active, causing him to be extremely astonished.

What was going on? Could it be that this set of golden needles had some sort of connection with the small cauldron that he had obtained? It was just that this set of needles were newly made, there was nothing abnormal about it, and on the needles, although there were some engravings with mysterious patterns, Liu Du could not understand either.

”Liu Du, what's wrong?” Chu Zhengxiong was also a little depressed in his heart, how could he forget about this gold needle? It seemed that he did not give it to him, but he was still unhappy, and thinking about his granddaughter's illness, Chu Zhengxiong could not sit still any longer. This was why he walked over, and when he saw that Liu Du's complexion was not good, he could not help but feel apprehensive.

Hearing Chu Zhengxiong's question, Liu Du suppressed the dry aura in his body and forced a smile: ”It's nothing. I just want to, with this set of golden needles and Chuchu's illness, I have an 80% certainty of success.”

”Oh.” When Chu Zhengxiong heard this, he was stunned, his face revealing an unconcealable joy: ”Alright, alright, then I'll be troubling you, when will you begin the treatment?”

Actually, what he was most concerned about was still his granddaughter's illness. On the other side, when Chu Tiange saw that the old man was together with Liu Du, he immediately thought that it was because of his daughter's illness. Naturally, he walked over as well.

”Right now.” Liu Du replied softly, yet he was thinking about the [Gold Needle]. Since he could not understand it, then forget it.

Of course, the father and son wanted to see Chuchu recovered more so they said in unison, ”Alright, I'll take you there right now.”

”You stay behind and accompany the guests. I will accompany Liu Du there.” Chu Zhengxiong held out his hand to stop his son, and personally led Liu Du to the backyard.

The surrounding guests naturally saw this scene, and only regained their senses after Chu Zhengxiong led Liu Du out.

”If this Young people is someone without a backer, I wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death.” Everything spread very quickly, and these guests naturally heard about Liu Du being just a bumpkin. But in front of the facts, they still chose to believe the truth.

”But I heard that Miss Chu Clan is sick. For this person to be able to obtain the acknowledgement of the Chu Clan, she must be here to treat his sickness, right?” Those with nimble minds naturally thought of this possibility.

”Impossible, this Young people is just an intern. I also heard that this Young people has never learned medicine before.”

”Perhaps he would just say that he cheated the Chu Clan's letter.”

”Yi, if it's really possible, then it's really because he's been ill for a long time that he randomly came to the aid of a doctor. Maybe this Young people is really good with his words, so …”

”Hmph, to dare lie to Chu Clan, he must have died a terrible death!” There were naturally many guests who looked down on Liu Du. After all, in their hearts, they were the ones who were lofty, allowing such a young lady to sit on equal footing with them. To the point that they had even more face than them, their hearts were unbalanced.

”Hee hee …” The few of them lowered their voices and laughed maliciously.

…

”Liu Du, someone is looking for you outside.” Just as Liu Du returned home, before he could even say a few words to his father, he saw his father hiring a nurse from his clinic walk in.

Liu Du walked out, and upon seeing the person, he immediately threw out a punch, ”Kid, you're willing to come and look for me?”

The person who came was Li Chen, Liu Du's best friend. He had gone from primary school to high school, and then to the famous university, Hua Qing. His family also moved to the capital to live, so they hadn't seen each other much.

”Didn't I come back to see you right away?” Li Chen pressed on the shoulder that was smashed by Liu Du, chuckled, and then quickly lowered his voice, leaning towards Liu Du with ill intent: ”This nurse your father invited, does not look bad, you haven't tried it?”
