Chapter 211: Prophecy

Mu Zong came back earlier than Luo Wenlang because his objective had been achieved even though the meeting wasn’t over, and he rushed over immediately upon hearing that Gu Xiqiao was here at Nine Heavens.

In the office, Gu Xiqiao had already finished reading all the documents and was typing up a storm on the computer.

When Mu Zong pushed the door to enter, she had just finished typing everything out and was in the middle of printing.

“Uncle Mu,” she greeted with a smile.

“Qiao Qiao, why did you suddenly change your plans?” Mu Zong looked at Gu Xiqiao strangely. They had conflicts with Fu Enterprise and were even competitors, but now Gu Xiqiao asked him and Luo Wenlang to work together with them?

Gu Xiqiao didn’t reply, instead handing him the papers that she had just finished printing. “I wanted to discuss it with you, but since you both weren’t here, I printed everything out. Look over it carefully, yeah? I have plans, so I’ll be leaving.”

The papers were on a collaborative plan, and even though he couldn’t read as fast as Gu Xiqiao could, he was completely stuck to the document as soon as he started reading, to the point where he even forgot to sit down.

Upon seeing his current state, Gu Xiqiao rubbed her nose and left.

When Luo Wenlang came back to this scene, he looked over at the papers curiously and froze up in an instant.

He could read much faster than Mu Zong, but after he got the papers from him, he looked over the entire stack again and again, not willing to put it down.

“Where is she?” Luo Wenlang was raring to discuss with Gu Xiqiao after reading through everything, but he didn’t see the girl anywhere in the room.

Mu Zong sighed. “She left when I came.”

Luo Wenlang: “…” He wanted to fight her!

Meanwhile, Gu Xiqiao had already made her way to Hua Youlin’s school, and upon seeing that there was still some time until school let out, she went to a random milk tea shop and sat down by the glass-pane window with a fresh cup of milk tea, scrolling down her phone as she did.

She tapped open her Weibo, and she was quite surprised to see that she had already gotten more than twenty million followers!

When did that happen?

It was only after she scrolled through the top replies in her newest post that she realized why this was—Not only were there fans of her beauty and her acting, but there were also many new followers that came to her page because of her achievements in art and medicine.

There were fans from China, America, England, and all across the world.

Gu Xiqiao rubbed her chin thoughtfully before tapping on her phone again.

Barely a second later, the replies section exploded.

“I thought it was a selfie, but what in the world is this?”

“What do all of these symbols and words mean? I failed my science subjects in school!”

“Ah! So that was what it was! I know what I did wrong now!”

“No wonder we failed our experiments where we tried to recreate this virus, it was because of the molecular formula for the last protein!”

“+1, but we didn’t even get to that point before we failed!”

“I almost thought this virus was Ebola, with a 50%~90% mortality rate! How could such a virus cause rapid cell division?”

“,,,”

“Why can’t I understand a word of what they’re saying? Am I dumb? Am I the abnormal one?!”

“All hail our goddess, but I can’t understand anything either… I want to cry QAQ”

“… Is it just me, or are the top comments all renowned doctors? :O”

“There are also renowned artists too!”

“The top comment is the head of the People’s Hospital in Imperial Capital, one of the members of the WMA! He’s the one that performed surgery on my grandfather!”

“… Not to mention all the people from the second to fifth top comments… Just click into your profiles, you’ll see what I mean…”

A lot of people clicked on the profiles of these top commenters, then came back with terrified expressions.

“It’s so scary to be uneducated these days, and now we have to vie for attention with all of these people?!”

“I feel kinda unworthy to be fans of someone together with all these people…”

“Me too!”

“Me too!”

“…”

Gu Xiqiao read through some of the comments, before replying to one seriously, “The Ebola Virus isn’t as terrifying as it sounds! In fact, this virus is actually a mutated strain of the Ebola Virus, and we’re actually undergoing research on its ability to spread, and it’s already a great achievement for you to be able to crack the molecular formula of the Ebola Virus, keep on the good work!”

She didn’t know how this comment was pushed up to the top comment immediately, causing heated debate in the medical world.

At that time, her gaze was attracted to the road outside.

[Ding! Daily Good Deed mission activated: Save the mission objective!]

[Mission completion reward: 20 points!]

This area was close to both a middle school and a primary school, and it was around the time when school let out, so there were a lot of primary school students walking around the pavement.

In the middle of the road was an extremely petite girl, and in front of her was a car that was barreling in her direction, seemingly having lost control.

The next second, Gu Xiqiao disappeared from her position in the milk tea shop, and at that moment everyone closed their eyes in fear of witnessing what was about to happen.

With a bang, the black car bumped into the rails by the road, and judging from how the front of the car was completely crushed, it was easy to see how strong the momentum was. If that car drove into a human being, they would undoubtedly be killed on the spot!

Gu Xiqiao stood there and looked down at the girl in her arms. The girl had blonder hair and pale skin, and was staring at her with those doe eyes of hers that were filled with curiosity.

From the looks of it, she seemed like a mixed-blood child.

“Where’s your family?” Gu Xiqiao looked around, not seeing anyone that seemed to be the girl’s parents.

The girl stared at Gu Xiqiao, before exclaiming, “You are gorgeous*¹!”

“… Thank you.” The edge of Gu Xiqiao’s lip twitched before she set the girl down and asked again, “Do you know where your family is?”

The girl pouted cutely, before pointing at another direction. “My brother’s coming!”

Gu Xiqiao looked over at the direction which the girl was pointing at and squinted a little in an effort to remember who this familiar person was. “Be careful the next time you cross the street, okay?”

After she said that, she turned around and left.

***

The girl hadn’t expected Gu Xiqiao to leave just like that, and she reached out to catch her sleeve, but even though it seemed like she was right in front of her, she couldn’t even touch it! The girl looked on as Gu Xiqiao left the scene, and then looked down at her own pudgy fingers in disbelief.

“Yin Aoxue, why did you run off by yourself?” A figure walked over and carried the girl into his arms, quite displeased.

Yin Aoxue rolled her eyes, before replying, “Shi Haizhe, you’re the one that’s late okay? I was almost run over by a car, thank goodness a gorgeous big sister saved me!”

“Almost run over by a car?” Shi Haizhe looked over at the car that was crumpled beside the road with an aghast expression. “You were almost run over by that?!”

“Yeah! Thank goodness the pretty big sister was there to save me!” Yin Aoxue nodded, looking over in the direction in which Gu Xiqiao left with a regretful expression. “I forgot to ask for her name!”

At that moment, an ambulance came rushing onto the scene, and the driver was carried out of the car, his entire face covered with blood, and Shi Haizhe looked on at this scene with furrowed brows.

He was about to go check on the situation and ask about who the pretty big sister Yin Aoxue talked about was, but then his phone rang.

Fishing the phone out of his pocket, he accepted the call and set the phone to his ear as he held Yin Aoxue’s hand, and after he heard what the person on the other end said, he was greatly astonished and tried to drag Yin Aoxue away immediately, to no avail.

“Brother, you have to help me find the pretty big sister!” Yin Aoxue stood there with a pout, and as if she were an unmoving mountain, Shi Haizhe couldn’t even drag her away even if he tried.

Upon remembering her special ability, he crouched down and looked into her eyes, talking with a patient tone, “I’m going to take you to see your Uncle Wanqi! Doesn’t our little Xue’er like him the most?”

Yin Aoxue was only six years old, but she was actually part of the looks committee¹, and she adored people that looked good. Wanqi Jue was one of the most handsome people that she ever met, and hence her most favorite, and every time his name was mentioned she would get very excited.

He had expected the little girl to be excited at the prospect of meeting the handsome man, but it was as if she was a completely different person. “No, I have decided! That pretty older sister is my favorite person in the world from now on!”

Shi Haizhe: “…” So who was it?!

“I promise you that I will help you find your pretty big sister, but Uncle Wanqi is sick, you see? Don’t you want to go visit him?” Shi Haizhe asked with a serious expression.

Yin Aoxue: “Well… If you say so…”

And so the girl was dragged along by Shi Haizhe, looking back at the place where she stood with Gu Xiqiao every three steps and sighing as if she had suffered a great loss.

Shi Haizhe: “…” How would Wanqi Jue feel if he saw this?

***

Wanqi Jue was someone that knew how to enjoy life, and even his temporary living place was a villa with its own flower garden, and it was clear with a single glance that every piece of furniture was extremely expensive.

When Shi Haizhe got there, both Rong Feishuang and Zhu Yuan had already arrived on the scene.

“Divine Doctor Rong?” The man was quite surprised to see that even the divine doctor was there!

In any case, if he was there, then there was no need to be worried about Wanqi Jue’s injuries. He looked towards the bed, and even though the man laying there was a little more sickly-looking than usual, he seemed to not have gotten any serious injuries.

At that time, Zhu Yuan had just finished applying silver needles to him.

“Would it be hard to treat this in a short time?” Wanqi Jue looked at Rong Feishuang with his amethyst eyes that looked like whirlpools that drew people in.

Rong Feishuang shook his head. “Mr. Wanqi, you should know that you were injured to your organs.”

Wanqi Jue looked down at his own hands with a cold expression. He knew better than anyone that he was hurt very badly because that international criminal didn’t have any plans of leaving him alive in the first place.

When he was injured, his subordinates quickly sent his medical records to England, and after their headquarters looked over them, they came to the conclusion that his injuries were untreatable.

He had thought that he was about to become a cripple for the rest of his life, but he hadn’t expected Jiang Shuxuan to get the elusive divine doctor Rong Feishuang to help him, and most important was that the man would be able to heal him completely!

The only prerequisite to his recovery was only that he did not use any of his ancient martial arts for one year.

If it were any other time, this would be more than easy to achieve, but…

“The ranking battles are coming up in two months.” Wanqi Jue looked at Rong Feishuang. “You should know the importance of these ranking battles, and its prize, the Cyberspace. You know how important this is to the survival of my clan.”

Rong Feishuang was silent for a moment. “Your body needs at least half a year to recover by itself before it can take any more chi flowing through it, or you will become irreparably crippled!”

Even though he already knew the answer, Wanqi Jue lowered his head in despair, the whirlpools in his eyes turning into dead pools of water.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered Gu Xiqiao’s words to take care of his safety before the next day came.

Then, he laughed at himself. How could someone predict the future?

What she said probably came true just by chance.

Zhu Yuan looked at Wanqi Jue’s despaired expression and mulled over his words, before speaking, “… Well, there’s one way we could try…”

Wanqi Jue raised his head expectantly, knowing that this student of Rong Feishuang’s was one of the best doctors in the world too. “What is it?”

Rong Feishuang looked over at Zhu Yuan. “Do you mean…”

“Yes.” Zhu Yuan nodded. “If it’s her, there might be a way to let him recover.”

“Who?” Wanqi Jue looked in confusion at the charades that were going on in front of him, but seeing as both doctors in front of him came to the same conclusion without speaking, there must be hope.

Zhu Yuan looked back at Wanqi Jue with a mysterious smile. “Someone that might be able to let you take part in the ranking battles.”
