Chapter 3183 Shen Tianyu 583

Master Mao usually dislikes meeting outsiders, but he still has to give face to Gu Beixian and Gu Jinyao.

After listening to Gu Beixian's words, Master Mao Jun slowly stroked his beard and said, "You two are too impatient. Young people are bound to have some setbacks. How can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain?"

Upon hearing the words "wind and rain," Gu Beixian's mind immediately tensed up.

He opened his mouth and asked, "Does the real person mean that Fanfan will still face setbacks?"

Master Mao burst into laughter, “Who can have a smooth life from beginning to end? Unless you die and lie in a coffin. Even lying in a coffin, there’s no guarantee that your body won’t be gnawed by snakes and rats, or even robbed. Even if you’re cremated, there’s no guarantee that your ashes won’t be switched, and only a portion of the ashes will be taken. Who can achieve true perfection? I’ve cultivated for many years, and I still face constant setbacks. King Ying Zheng of Qin was so mighty in life, yet in death he was placed among salted fish.”

Gu Beixian and Gu Jinyao came sincerely for help, but were given a real lesson by Master Mao Jun.

Master Mao waved his hand and said, “It’s not easy for you two to come all this way, so please stay here for the night and return tomorrow.”

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Gu Beixian and Gu Jinyao got up to take their leave.

The two were taken to the Bamboo Garden by the disciples of Maoshan to rest.

Gu Beixian felt increasingly uneasy.

He stopped pacing, picked up his phone from the table, dialed Shen Tianyu's number, and repeated Mao Junzhen's original words.

After a moment's thought, Shen Tianyu said, "It's not a big problem. If it were, Master Mao wouldn't have said so much nonsense."

Despite saying this, Shen Tianyu frowned slightly.

Master Mao's Taoist cultivation surpasses his.

Listen to what he's saying; there's a hidden meaning in his words.

We have no choice but to take it one step at a time.

That night, Shen Tianyu brought some tonics and went to Gu Chufan's house.

The tonic is for nourishing the kidneys and strengthening essence.

Shen Tianyu placed the red-glazed porcelain bottle containing the tonic on the coffee table and said, "Take two pills every night before bed for a week, and then tell me the results."

As Gu Chufan gazed at the red-glazed porcelain vase, his eyes gradually dimmed.

Is it that serious?

He's only twenty-six years old, and he already needs to take tonics?

Shen Tianyu reached out and grabbed his wrist, placing his index and middle fingers on his pulse, which was normal.

Why did Mr. Mao's words have a hidden meaning?

Withdrawing his hand, Shen Tianyu parted his thin lips slightly, "Take the tonic first. I'll take some time these next few days to go up the mountain to collect some herbs that replenish Yang energy, and then I'll refine them."

Gu Chufan's brows furrowed involuntarily. "Brother, am I really not good enough?"

Shen Tianyu said, "Long-term emotional distress has led to stagnation of liver qi and obstruction of qi flow. Prolonged stagnation can turn into fire, which rises and attacks the lungs. In addition, your smoking and drinking have caused deficiency of both kidneys and lungs. The car accident damaged your foundation, and you were possessed by a spirit, which depleted your yang qi."

Gu Chufan originally thought he had already returned to normal.

After hearing his words, Gu Chufan suddenly felt like he was just like Lin Daiyu.

But when he looked in the mirror, the man in the mirror was tall and strong, and because of the many happy events that had happened to him recently, he was radiant and full of energy.

Shen Tianyu stood up. "Let's go."

Gu Chufan quickly got up and saw him out.

Back in the living room, Shi Shi came downstairs after taking a shower.

Seeing the red glazed porcelain bottle on the coffee table, she unscrewed the cap, smelled it, and said, "It seems to contain deer antler glue, rehmannia root, and alisma rhizome, and it also seems to contain agarwood, schisandra fruit, and codonopsis root. Is this for tonifying the kidneys?"

Gu Chufan felt as if his clothes had been stripped off in public.

His masculine pride was shattered.

After a long pause, he finally spoke, "Aren't you a Western doctor? How do you know about Chinese medicinal herbs?"

Shi Shi walked over to him, sat down next to him, put her arm around his waist, and said, "Our ancestors started out as traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. Later, the environment deteriorated, and the quality of medicinal herbs also deteriorated. Many rare medicinal herbs grow on deep mountain cliffs, making it more difficult to collect them. Moreover, some medicinal herbs are prohibited from being harvested. It's not that traditional Chinese medicine skills are inadequate, but that the medicinal herbs are no longer good. We had no choice but to switch to Western medicine. However, I still know a little bit about some basic Chinese medicine knowledge."

Gu Chufan sighed inwardly.

Shi Shi reached out and grabbed his neck. "Did Brother Tianyu send this medicine?"

"Correct."

"Brother Tianyu is so good to you."

Gu Chufan nodded.

He didn't have much contact with Shen Tianyu, but he was clearly much nicer to him than to Gu Jinzhou, and also more enthusiastic towards him than towards his other brothers.

Gu Chufan looked at the beautiful woman in his arms, wanting to give it a try, but also afraid of repeating the same mistake.

That kind of thing can easily leave a man with psychological trauma.

Alright, let's take the tonic for a few days first.

He took out two tonic pills and swallowed them with warm water.

Shi Shi wiped the water from his lips and comforted him, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. A few minutes is enough."

Gu Chufan closed his eyes and remained silent.

How many minutes?

She exaggerated.

He would... the moment he touched her.

She remains a virgin to this day.

He felt an overwhelming sense of guilt.

He hugged her tightly, rested his chin on the top of her head, and whispered, "I'm sorry."

Shi Shi gently stroked his handsome cheek and said in a doting tone, "Why are you apologizing? Just looking at your face is enough to make my adrenaline surge and my brain involuntarily release dopamine and endorphins. That thing isn't that important. Really, I find that thing troublesome, painful, and uncomfortable. It's more worthwhile to stay with my handsome husband. He's pleasing to the eye, and I'm happy to hold him."

She reached out and hugged him, burying her head in his chest.

She murmured, "Senior, I love you, I love your soul, I love your character, I love you as a whole person. You're 1.9 meters tall, your soul is noble, your character is perfect, which one accounts for more than that? Less than one ten-thousandth."

She is a comforter.

However, Gu Chufan remained depressed.

They'd been together for so long, finally got married, even registered their marriage, but then he...

He lowered his head and kissed her hair, saying, "If I continue to be impotent, I will set you free. The shares in the pharmaceutical group will be your compensation, and I will also give you extra money and a villa."

Shi Shi suddenly looked up at him, her eyes gradually reddening.

Anger flickered in her eyes.

Gu Chufan quickly kissed her eyes, "Don't be angry, I was just saying, for example."

Shi Shi pushed him away.

She jumped to her feet, her voice trembling with tears, and glared at him. "Even analogies won't work! Am I, Shi Shi, that vain and shallow person? Did I marry you to make money? I...you, you don't understand me!"

Gu Chufan felt a sharp pain in his heart.

He quickly stood up and hugged her.

He lowered his head and kissed away the tears welling in her eyes, coaxing her gently, "Don't be angry, I know you didn't do it for the money, I just..."

Shi Shi bit her lip, interrupting him, "You probably don't know how much I like you. I like you more than you can imagine. I used to like you so much that if you dared to marry someone else, I would dare to die for you. But later, when I saw you in pain, torment, and self-blame, I withdrew. To put your mind at ease, I got engaged to Xiao Xiao. Brother Fanfan, you probably don't know, but I love you far more than I love myself. That little thing isn't as important as you think."

A feeling of both pain and gratitude welled up in Gu Chufan's heart.

This has never happened before.

He hugged Shi Shi tightly and said in a deep voice, "Shi Shi, I'm sorry, I won't say such hurtful things to you again."
