Chapter 79: The More She Looked, The More She Liked (3rd Update)

"Zhou Lang, you also know Medical Skills? But I have chronic cold legs; I've seen many doctors, and none of them were of any use."

Gu Xiuzhi asked curiously. She had seen Zhou Lang's martial arts, but she didn't have much confidence in his Medical Skills. Her Physique had never been good; she had been born with a cold constitution, and after giving birth to Zhao Xiaorou, she developed rheumatism, leaving a chronic ailment. Over the years, she had been treated by many famous doctors, but there had been no significant results.

Recently, her rheumatism had flared up again. Her knee joints would ache faintly when she walked, and at night, she would even wake up in pain from cramps.

"Auntie, if you trust me, give me half an hour," Zhou Lang said confidently.

"Mom, you know Elder General Qin, right? He used to be confined to a wheelchair, and so many famous doctors in the capital were helpless, but now he is no different from a normal person. This is all thanks to Zhou Lang," Zhao Xiaorou said from the side.

"Then I'll trouble Little Zhou to take a look," Gu Xiuzhi nodded.

She didn't truly realize the weight of Zhao Xiaorou's words, but Governor Zhao Cang was different; at this moment, he was completely shocked.

As a vice-ministerial level official, he naturally knew about the situation regarding Elder General Qin. The old general's leg injury was severe, and he was originally about to retire completely. However, during this period, the old general's legs had miraculously recovered, and he had advanced further in his position, entering the Military Commission and becoming one of the most core bigwigs in the military.

It could be said that without Zhou Lang, Elder General Qin would have had to resign and return home.

Therefore, Governor Zhao Cang's perception of Zhou Lang changed once again.

After everyone entered the living room, Governor Zhao Cang arranged for tea to be made, but Zhou Lang said, "Uncle Zhao, there's no need for formalities. Let me take a look at Auntie first."

Immediately, Zhou Lang began to take Gu Xiuzhi's pulse.

"Auntie, this is a case of rheumatism, but you have a cold constitution by nature, and your Meridians are slightly blocked."

About a minute later, he said to Gu Xiuzhi. Although his Cultivation level was not yet very high, he had learned all the Medical Skills in the Dual Cultivation Manual. It could be said that his Medical Skills were already at the Peak of the current world.

"Little Zhou, my illness can be said to have been brought from the womb. Is it incurable?" Gu Xiuzhi asked. Many doctors had expressed helplessness after examining her, and she had become somewhat used to it.

"It's not difficult to cure, not difficult at all. Once I perform Acupuncture on you and then use True Qi to clear your Meridians, it will be fine," Zhou Lang said with a faint smile. After becoming a Cultivator, his aura had changed significantly, and he was full of confidence.

To make Governor Zhao Cang believe he was a Cultivator and make him feel more at ease, no longer fearing retaliation from the Shangguan Family, he showed off a little.

He reached out his hand and made a summoning gesture out of thin air. An antique-looking box appeared in his hand. Immediately, he opened the box and took out nine silver needles.

Governor Zhao Cang, Old Zhao, and Gu Xiuzhi saw this scene and their eyes widened. Although they knew that Cultivators existed in this world, this was the first time they had seen someone conjure an object out of thin air.

"Uncle Zhao, Old Zhao, I am going to start the Acupuncture now. You can go out for a while; Xiao Rou can just stay here," Zhou Lang said.

After Governor Zhao Cang and Old Zhao left, Zhou Lang moved with the speed of lightning. He thrust the nine silver needles out, piercing them through her clothes into nine acupoints on Gu Xiuzhi's body. Using the "three lifts, three presses" method, he channeled True Qi, which permeated Gu Xiuzhi's Meridians to drive out the cold Qi in her body.

…

"Old Zhao, what is this Zhou Lang's background? He actually has such abilities. That trick of conjuring items out of thin air just now must be a Cultivator's method, right?"

Outside the living room, Governor Zhao Cang was asking Old Zhao.

Old Zhao's real name was Zhao Yunting, and he was the bodyguard of Governor Zhao Cang's father, Zhao Yide.

Zhao Yide was a military man with the rank of Major General. Later, after Zhao Yide retired, Zhao Yunting continued to follow him. After Zhao Yide died, Zhao Yunting began to assist Governor Zhao Cang.

It could be said that he was the number one expert of the Zhao Family and a weapon of mass destruction, because in the entire Dianxi Province, the number of Grandmaster-level experts could be counted on one hand.

In the officialdom, the Zhao Family had the towering tree that was Governor Zhao Cang, and in the business world, besides Governor Zhao Cang's two younger brothers, Zhao Ziyu and Zhao Zitian, Zhao Yunting had made significant contributions. Because of his existence, even if the Zhao Family did not use their political power, ordinary figures in the underground world dared not easily provoke the Zhao Family.

Zhao Yunting had assisted two generations of the Zhao Family. Everyone in the Zhao Family respected him very much and respectfully called him Old Zhao.

"Zhou Lang is probably not an ordinary Cultivator. According to my estimation, he should have an object similar to a Storage Ring, and his silver needles are kept inside that object. For him to have such a Cultivation level at such a young age, I believe there is an expert behind him. As long as Zhou Lang truly wants to help our Zhao Family, we need not fear the Shangguan Family."

Old Zhao said after some contemplation. He was a Grandmaster-level expert and had heard a thing or two about the Cultivation world, so he knew a little bit.

In reality, Zhou Lang's ancestral copper coin was a magical object, incomparable to an ordinary Storage Ring. One had to know that it contained its own world, and even the artifact spirit Xiao Xi was at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"Now that our Zhao Family has completely fallen out with the Shangguan Family, we can only rely on Zhou Lang," Governor Zhao Cang sighed.

"Family Head, since things have come to this, we might as well release the news that there is an expert behind Zhou Lang, making the Shangguan Family feel wary. Perhaps in this way, they won't dare to act rashly."

Old Zhao suggested. Although he was old, his thinking was still agile, and he was still very courageous and unconventional. Of course, these were all things he had learned from Governor Zhao Cang's father, Zhao Yide.

"Hmm, this is indeed a method. The Zhao Family and the Shangguan Family will become enemies from now on, and I'm afraid it will be a long-term battle of wits and strength!" Governor Zhao Cang thought for a while and felt that Old Zhao's method was feasible.

…

Inside the room, Zhou Lang quickly finished the Acupuncture, then used True Qi to clear Gu Xiuzhi's Meridians once more.

"Auntie, try standing up and walking around," Zhou Lang said immediately after ending his technique.

Gu Xiuzhi stood up as instructed and walked a few steps in the large living room. Soon, a look of joy appeared on her face. Her pace quickened, and in the end, it almost turned into a light jog.

"Little Zhou, your Medical Skills are truly amazing! I feel so comfortable all over now," Gu Xiuzhi praised Zhou Lang after stopping. In all these years, her body had never felt this comfortable.

As the saying goes, a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law and likes him more the more she looks. Zhou Lang had defeated Young Master Shangguan Yu, saving Zhao Xiaorou from the tiger's den, and now he had cured her chronic ailment. It would be strange if she didn't like him!

"Auntie, tomorrow afternoon, I will perform Acupuncture on you once more to consolidate the results, and your chronic ailment will be completely cured," Zhou Lang said.

"Then I will trouble you. It's getting late, I'll arrange a room for you to rest," Gu Xiuzhi was increasingly satisfied with Zhou Lang.

After Governor Zhao Cang and Old Zhao came in and saw that Gu Xiuzhi's stubborn rheumatism had improved by ninety percent, they felt even more that Zhou Lang was unfathomable.

…

What Zhou Lang didn't expect was that Gu Xiuzhi had arranged for him and Zhao Xiaorou to stay in the same room. Through this, he knew that this prospective mother-in-law had completely accepted him.

"Brother Lang, thank you so much for today."

In the bathroom, Zhao Xiaorou hugged Zhou Lang from behind. Both of them were completely naked. Originally, Zhou Lang was embarrassed to take a bath with Zhao Xiaorou at the Zhao residence, but Zhao Xiaorou said that the door was locked from the inside, so even if they did something in there, no one would know.
