(Quick Transmigration) Small Cannon Fodder Has Great Power

Gongsun Jing was quite tempted by the first part of what he heard, but when she heard the old doctor suggest that Gu Yunyun become Qi Shaoyu's concubine, she immediately objected. "Grandpa! How could you..."

The old healer waved his hand knowingly at her and said with a smile, "Jing'er, I know what you want to say, but you still don't understand men. Men, the more they can't get something, the more they think about it."

If you insist on driving his mistress away, even if he doesn't say it, he'll definitely miss her and will inevitably resent you. He and that woman seem to have a good relationship; his previous rejection of you was probably because he couldn't bear to part with his mistress. If you just give in a little, you'll have no trouble winning him over.

Gongsun Jing pouted unhappily and said resentfully, "But I get angry just looking at that woman. She's got a lot of bad intentions. Besides, I'm the granddaughter of your esteemed medical master, Grandpa. Why should I share a husband with another woman!"

The old physician looked smug. "So you're still too naive. When I was young, I served as the emperor's physician for a few years and witnessed firsthand the power struggles among the concubines in the harem. Tsk tsk, the battles between women are no less bloody than those in the imperial court. They're all honeyed words and daggers, killing without a trace."

He stroked his beard repeatedly, speaking with great enthusiasm. "Back in the day, I was the most skilled physician in the Imperial Medical Academy, and many empresses secretly sought my help for medicine. As long as you told me what kind of medicine you wanted, I could make it for you."

They ask me about all sorts of medicines, from things that cause rashes to sores on the body to things that cause sores on the face—those are minor issues. Hehe, there's really nothing they won't ask for, only things you can't imagine.

The old healer was lost in memories, shaking his head and saying, "However, it really did provide me with a lot of inspiration, and it was quite interesting." When it came to the sinister medicines that harmed people in the harem, the old healer showed no resistance, but rather great interest.

Gongsun Jing's eyes lit up, and her gloomy expression vanished. All the frustration and depression of the past few days disappeared.

Seeing that his granddaughter's mood had clearly improved, the old healer said lovingly, "Go ahead and show that boy your magnanimity and virtue, and say you don't mind him taking a concubine. That little girl can't cause any trouble. They all have to live off our kindness in Healer Valley. The valley is full of our people. It's not difficult to give them some medicine if we want."

"When the time comes, Grandpa will make several kinds of poison. You can give her a different one every day, depending on your mood. Daring to anger my precious granddaughter, she deserves to suffer a fate worse than death! When you're tired of playing with her, you can make her die a sudden, unexpected death."

Gongsun Jing tried hard to suppress the excitement on her face, and grabbed the old doctor's arm and said coquettishly, "Grandpa is the best to me! Grandpa is so thoughtful!"

"Hmph, you actually know that Grandpa is the best? I think your soul has been stolen by that brat!"

Gongsun Jing quickly resorted to acting coquettishly and charmingly, which made the old doctor beam with joy.

"Alright, alright, I'll have someone bring that kid over right now, and we'll talk to him about your marriage."

Gongsun Jing said shyly, "Grandpa, why are you more anxious than I am?"

"Alas, it's a pity. Ever since you accidentally bumped your head more than a year ago, you've forgotten many things, even the medical skills I passed down to you from childhood. It seems your former interest and talent in medicine have also disappeared." The old doctor changed the subject and said with a smile, "Now, Grandpa only hopes that you will give me a great-grandson soon, so that I can pass on all my medical skills to him!"

Gongsun Jing felt both guilty and shy. She stamped her foot and said coquettishly, "Grandpa, why did you say that... I'm ignoring you!" With that, she lifted her skirt and ran away. It wouldn't be appropriate for her to be present later when the Old Doctor was going to ask Qi Shaoyu to marry her.

When the visitor asked Qi Shaoyu to go to the old doctor's place, Gu Yunyun was a little worried.

After all, Gongsun Jing had just left them in tears not long ago, and the old doctor sent someone to find Qi Shaoyu. Both of them guessed that he was going to interrogate them.

After Qi Shaoyu followed the person who came, Gu Yunyun paced back and forth in the room, unable to put her mind at ease. She dressed, tied her hair up haphazardly, and went out.

Qi Shaoyu was prepared to be reprimanded, but he didn't expect the old doctor to tell him to marry Gongsun Jing as soon as he opened his mouth.

"This... Senior, this is probably inappropriate..."

The old healer narrowed his eyes, a sharp glint in them, and said unhappily, "What, is marrying my granddaughter beneath you?"

"Of course not, it's just that this junior only feels gratitude towards Miss Gongsun, and has no romantic feelings for her..."

Before he could finish speaking, the old healer slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Don't be so ungrateful! My granddaughter taking a liking to you is a blessing you've accumulated over several lifetimes, and you still dare to be so disrespectful! My granddaughter is young and beautiful, and you don't like her? Unless you're blind! If your eyes are useless, I'll help you to be completely blind with poison!"

Qi Shaoyu quickly bowed humbly and said, "Miss Gongsun is beautiful and kind-hearted. It is truly a disservice to her to be with a criminal like me who is wanted by the righteous path. Besides, I already have someone I love. Miss Gongsun deserves someone better to cherish her."

The old healer forced a stiff smile. "If you're referring to the little girl who entered the valley with you, you can take her as a concubine after you and Jing'er get married. Our Healer Valley isn't unreasonable, and Jing'er is a rare virtuous woman, so naturally we won't stop you."

Qi Shaoyu bowed even deeper, "I am truly sorry to have failed to live up to your kindness, senior and Miss Gongsun..."

The old doctor thought he had already made a big concession, but Qi Shaoyu still firmly refused. He was so angry that his hand was trembling as he pointed at him. He said furiously, "Fine, very well. So you just look down on Jing'er, don't you?"

The old healer's expression was sinister. "Since your worthless life was saved by the Valley of Healers, now return it! But you've been eating and drinking for free in the valley for so long, it would be too easy for you to die like this." He seemed to have forgotten that he had asserted that someone had rescued Qi Shaoyu in the Valley of Healers before.

After the old doctor finished speaking, he flicked his hand and sprinkled a cloud of medicinal powder at Qi Shaoyu. Qi Shaoyu inhaled it without any warning and felt a sudden weakness. Startled, he tried to circulate his internal energy, but found that his dantian was completely empty and he could not sense anything at all.

The old healer gave a shout, and a disciple came in to follow his instructions, binding Qi Shaoyu hand and foot and pushing him towards the depths of the Immortal Healer Valley, in a secluded direction with few people.

Qi Shaoyu was filled with sorrow. He felt that his life had been saved by the Valley of the Immortal Physicians, and even if they wanted to take it back, he would owe them a debt. Moreover, he was currently under the influence of some unknown drug, his internal energy was sealed, and his limbs were weak, so even if he wanted to resist, he couldn't.

He sighed deeply. He never imagined he would die in the Valley of Healers, instead of being hunted down by the righteous sects. It was a pity he hadn't yet found the real culprit or cleared his name. And what would happen to Yunyun if he died? Where could she go? What would the people of the Valley of Healers do to her?

In the final moments, Qi Shaoyu's lament about his own fate was gradually replaced by worry and reluctance for Gu Yunyun. He wanted to beg the old doctor to release Gu Yunyun from the valley, but he worried that speaking up might anger the old doctor and cause him to harm Yunyun. He was conflicted and anxious, deeply hating himself for being so weak and unable to protect her.

Meanwhile, Gu Yunyun had already searched all the way here. She saw Qi Shaoyu being escorted forward by the old doctor's men from afar, and she silently followed not far behind them.

They stopped in front of a house. The old doctor took out a key from his pocket, opened the door, and turned back to give Qi Shaoyu a sinister yet triumphant look. "This will be your residence from now on. Don't worry, I will definitely 'treat' you well." After saying that, he went in first.

Qi Shaoyu was pushed inside by the disciples behind him. As soon as he entered the room, he smelled an unpleasant, pungent medicinal odor. The room was not well lit. He could see several people sitting silently inside. Some were lying on the bed, some were sitting against the wall, and some were soaking in a bathtub. The pungent smell mainly came from the water in the tub.

These people were all motionless and lifeless. If it weren't for their eyes still open and occasionally blinking, Qi Shaoyu would probably have thought they were all dead. He looked at them more closely and saw that their faces were all tinged with an ominous bluish-black, their lips were purplish-black, and some of them had many silver needles stuck in their bodies.

"What is this...?" Qi Shaoyu was horrified when he saw this bizarre scene.

The old healer smiled smugly, looking quite proud, and pointed at them with a good mood, explaining, "These are all my medicine people."

Qi Shaoyu gasped. He had thought that the cruel method of creating "medicine-manipulated people" was just a fictional tale from the martial arts world. He never expected to actually witness such a cruel method that turned people into something neither human nor ghost.

He was horrified and angrily rebuked, "I thought you were a respected elder, but I never expected you to do such a despicable thing! How can you be worthy of the name of the Immortal Healer?!" Even if the Valley of the Immortal Healer had been kind to him, such behavior was still intolerable to him.

The old healer scoffed disdainfully, "My medical skills are superb, but it's just a mere empty title. How can it be unworthy of me? Heh, you'll soon be just like them."

After he finished speaking, he went to the cabinet to retrieve a needle case and medicine. The disciples beside him, quite perceptively, held Qi Shaoyu down tightly. They had disliked this kid for a long time. With just his looks, he had his junior sister completely infatuated, unable to see anyone else.

Marrying Gongsun Jing would be tantamount to inheriting the entire Valley of Healing Immortals. The disciples had long been secretly eyeing her, each vying to curry favor with their junior sister. Before this young man entered the valley, Junior Sister Jing would occasionally respond to them with a smile, but ever since he arrived, all her attention had been focused on him. How could the disciples of Valley of Healing Immortals not resent this?

Moreover, this young man not only has the charming and lovely Gongsun Jing pursuing him wholeheartedly, but he is also accompanied by a beautiful woman whose stunning beauty is evident even though she is masked, making him the envy of many. Therefore, seeing Qi Shaoyu in such a bad situation, his handsome face soon turning as sinister and terrifying as the other drug users, they all felt a great sense of satisfaction and roughly restrained him.

Qi Shaoyu struggled angrily, but was powerless to do anything and could only watch as the old man approached step by step with silver needles in his hand.

Suddenly, something flew through the air, piercing the window paper and striking the old doctor's wrist with deadly force, causing him to cry out in pain as the silver needle fell to the ground.

He clutched his wrist and roared, "Who?"

The wooden door shattered with a crash the next moment. The sudden loud noise and unexpected turn of events startled several disciples of the Medicine Immortal Valley, who stared at the doorway with suspicion and uncertainty.

Gu Yunyun walked in step by step, backlit and filled with anger. "Dare to touch my people...did you even ask me?"
