Chapter 2242: Chapter 2237: Suspicious and Paranoid

He Meijuan nodded: "Mm, I think the same. Big brother, I’ll prepare some medicine powder for you. With that, you’ll feel better after a meal."

"Kind people, both of you are truly kind people. I will repay you."

Guo Muye raised his head to look at Guo Cunhou.

Guo Cunhou looked at Guo Muye with a bit of surprise, in Guo Muye’s eyes he saw confidence.

Yet, out of a strategist’s instincts of alertness and suspicion, Guo Cunhou didn’t ask anything.

On the contrary, He Meijuan shook her head and said: "Big brother, I’m saving you not for any repayment. I’ll go prepare the medicine powder. Later, prepare some wine and dishes, and you can have a couple of drinks with my husband."

Guo Cunhou nodded, drinking a little of his wife’s prepared medicinal wine during dinner was a habit of his for many years.

After Guo Muye had some food, his body slowly recovered. His previous weakness was due to Tang Ming administering an elixir to him.

This elixir, after supplementing one’s body will quickly restore its functions. Although his complexion still looked somewhat bad, his body had already returned to its normal state.

"Old brother, you’ve come from Tianpo City. Let me ask you about a person, do you know?"

Guo Cunhou squinted his eyes after drinking a cup of wine.

Guo Muye, who had just picked up a dish, was startled, then said: "You ask, you ask, whatever I know, I’ll tell you everything."

"As far as I understand, some events happened in Tianpo City in the past. The Hall Master of the medical hall was vacant for years, then a man named Tang Ming took up the position of Hall Master there. Brother, you’re from Tianpo City, do you know this Tang Ming well?"

Guo Cunhou smiled and looked towards Guo Muye.

Guo Muye raised an eyebrow: "Could it be that I’ve exposed myself, what should I say now."

Thinking as he sighed, he then said: "To be honest with you, brother. I used to work at the medical hall in Tianpo City. Tang Ming, the Hall Master, indeed is a capable man. But capable men are often envied, both the Tower Master and the Commander kept him as a thorn in their side. As for me, I’m just a small figure, not valued at all, yet once during the hall’s prime, I was honored to be received by Hall Master Tang Ming."

"Oh. Brother, do you know, Tang Ming is also in West Desolation now. If you intend to join him, I can arrange someone to send you over. My relationship with him is quite good."

Guo Cunhou laughed heartily, if Guo Muye didn’t act cautiously, he would really think Guo Muye was a good friend of Tang Ming.

Guo Muye feigned a troubled face, coughed twice, then said; "Brother, I’ll stay at your house for two days, no, I’ll leave tomorrow morning. It won’t be necessary to trouble you to send me to Hall Master Tang Ming."

"No problem, no problem, I was just casually asking. If you don’t want to go, staying at my place is fine, after all, my family consists of just three people. You’re also in Elixir Cultivation, chatting with my wife about cultivation occasionally would be quite nice. My wife is naive, I hope you wouldn’t mind imparting your teachings."

Guo Cunhou glanced softly at the entering He Meijuan.

"No problem, no problem. The little skills I’ve got, after dinner, I’ll write some things I’m proficient in for your wife, as gratitude for her life-saving kindness."

Guo Muye smiled, slowly standing up, and walked outside.

He Meijuan glared at Guo Cunhou; "You, always suspicious, now see, you’ve upset him. The secret recipes of Elixir Cultivation are the most guarded, your words just now are the most taboo."

"Alright, wife, we saved his life, letting him repay us a bit is normal. I see he’s not ordinary. As I know, the elixir cultivators in Tianpo City’s medical halls either have close relations with Tang Ming or the Chu Family.

But this person, when I mentioned Tang Ming, his expression didn’t look well, and having escaped from Tianpo City controlled by the Chu Family, he must be a man of secrets."

Guo Cunhou began analyzing.

He Meijuan nodded, then said: "I agree with this point you made. He certainly is someone with secrets. From his expression, you can tell, and it seems someone is pursuing him."

"Hmm. Though West Desolation City isn’t quite stable now, not just anyone can provoke it. Rest assured, I’ll speak with the City Defense Army, urging them to pay attention to the security issues within the city."

Guo Cunhou snorted.

He Meijuan handed the prepared medicinal tea to Guo Cunhou: "This is something I learnt recently; try the taste."

"Anything prepared by the wife is naturally excellent."

Guo Cunhou chuckled loudly.

The next morning when Cuiling and the mansion’s cook Madam Weng came to the kitchen, they found Guo Muye standing at the kitchen door.

Seeing Cuiling, Guo Muye’s face showed a slight smile: "Young lady, thank you for yesterday."

"Why thank me? You should thank madam. My madam has a reputation as a kind heart, she’s saved countless in the city. I’m just a servant, merely passing on a message for you."

Cuiling smiled at Guo Muye.

Guo Muye nodded, then said: "I’m here to repay madam. I’m planning to help her make breakfast. May I ask, does your lady and husband lack offspring?"

Cuiling’s eyes tightened, she exchanged a glance with Madam Weng beside her, then cautiously said; "Why do you ask this?"

"Nothing, nothing. I’ll help make a meal for madam, to repay her life-saving kindness. Please, you two, assist this old man."

Guo Muye extended his hand, a yellow light gleamed, Cuiling felt her world spinning and fainted in the courtyard.

Cuiling was awakened by the enticing aromas of food; when she awoke Madam Weng did too, they exchanged glances and rushed into the kitchen, but found it empty, only two food boxes placed within.

On the food boxes, laid a jade scroll.

Madam Weng inhaled deeply and said: "Don’t move anything here, go report to the master and madam."

"Mm."

Cuiling agreed and ran to the back courtyard. By the time she arrived, Guo Cunhou and He Meijuan were already up.

Seeing Cuiling’s anxious demeanor, He Meijuan raised her eyebrows: "Cuiling, what’s wrong, looking flustered, in this way."

"Madam, there has been an incident. That old man we rescued earlier, he is a villain. He previously made Madam Weng and me faint."

Cuiling, breathless and angry, described how Guo Muye had knocked them out, saying he’d make a meal for Guo Cunhou and He Meijuan.
