<h4>Chapter 640: Chapter 0642: Blood-colored Eyes</h4>


    Chu Ge squinted his eyes, pulled out a handkerchief, wrapped up the stone, and set it aside, then took out a silver needle threaded with silk to sew up Qian Youquan’s wounds.


    After the stitching, Qian Youquan’splexion had greatly improved, no longer as pale as before, and his calf, after being pale for a while, seemed to be replenished with fresh blood and gradually regained a healthy color.


    Gently extracting the silver needles from Qian Youquan’s body and neck, Chu Ge put away the needles and began to study the thing absorbed by the stone in his handkerchief.


    The "stone" he held was only stone-like in appearance; in fact, it was a creature from the deep sea, which possessed a spiritual nature that could detect living things or parasites within the human body.


    However, this creature was usually extremelyzy, reluctant to move, always curled up in a round shape, so one might mistake it for a stone upon a cursory nce.


    Previously, when Chu Ge ced it on Qian Youquan’s leg, it detected something inside the leg and moved in response to that object.


    Not only could it sense objects, but it could also devour things smaller than itself, thus the stone now appeared ck because it had swallowed the thing inside Qian Youquan’s leg.


    After a close examination, Chu Ge condensed a me in his hand, a fire not ordinary in nature, for anything scorched by it would never recover.


    He picked up the stone, gently squeezed it, and the stone automatically expelled the ck substance it contained. Chu Ge wastes no time in tossing the ck substance into the mes, and with a sizzling noise, Chu Ge knew that thing was destroyed.


    On closer inspection, he discovered that it was a Gu Worm, exclusive to the ck Witch Sect. But given the severe damage the sect had suffered, it was unlikely to have the energy to wreak havoc again.


    Could it be that Qian Youquan previously had a dispute with the ck Witch Sect?


    When Qian Youquan fully awoke, it was already six o’clock in the evening. At first, he looked at Chu Ge in bewilderment, then he nced at his calf, where a thin scar now rested.


    Feeling the change in his body, Qian Youquan knew he waspletely healed. The rumors were true; Chu Ge indeed possessed the miraculous ability to regenerate flesh and bring the dead back to life.


    At that moment, Chu Ge was sitting nearby, meditating with his eyes closed, so Qian Youquan did not dare to rashly disturb him. He slowly sat up, tried to touch the ground with his feet, preparing to stand up.


    When he could truly stand on both feet and even felt a surge of strength in his calf, he couldn’t hide the excitement in his heart, his eyes gleaming with the excitement of looking at Chu Ge.


    As if sensing the movement, Chu Ge slowly opened his eyes. Their gazes met, and he asked, "How are you feeling, Mr. Qian?"


    Overjoyed, Qian Youquan excitedly stepped forward, grabbing Chu Ge’s hand, "Thank you, Mr. Chu, for saving my life. If there’s anything you need in Beijing, just ask. Although my influence in Beijing isn’t significant, I am a local authority. Whatever Mr. Chu needs, I will do my utmost to assist."


    Chu Ge smiled softly and replied, "If I indeed require Mr. Qian’s help in the future, I will surely ask. But currently, I have a more urgent question for Mr. Qian."


    Qian Youquan nodded, "Mr. Chu, please ask."


    "Do you know the origin of the Gu Worm in your body?"


    Chu Ge asked, having Lin Dong inquire about it, Qian Youquan had some influence in Beijing for sure, but he had no apparent ties to Ancient Martial Artists. If he had a conflict with the ck Witch Sect, they wouldn’t bother cing a Gu Worm in an ordinary person who was of no use to them.


    The Gu Worm fed on Essence Blood, and to cultivate it thoroughly or restore it, the host’s body had to meet stringent requirements. However, during the treatment, Chu Ge had also roughly assessed Qian Youquan’s body, which did not fit the standards preferred by the ck Witch Sect.


    Moreover, the ck Witch Sect itself was struggling to survive; how could they have the energy to seek other hosts?


    Chu Ge spected that Qian Youquan might collude with the ck Witch Sect.


    But the truth wasn’t as he had thought.


    Bringing up the matter, Qian Youquan felt a surge of anger, and with a sigh of fury, he said, "Speaking of it, I get angry. My condition became like this because of one person."


    As it turned out, Qian Youquan ended up in this state because he had a conflict with someone over a Jade te and a Jade Buddha some time ago.


    "I’m just an ordinary person, or rather a businessman, so I care too much about profits. When he demanded the Jade Buddha and Jade te for free, I rejected him without a second thought, only for him to predict I would regret it and even assured that I would eventually go to him, begging with the Jade te and Jade Buddha in hand."


    With a bitter smile at the corners of his mouth, Qian Youquan continued, "At first, I didn’t take his words seriously, but in the end, I gradually felt my legs getting weaker and that’s when I realized I had fallen into his trap."


    Qian Youquan knew of the Ancient Martial Artists and quickly understood his predicament. Although he did not immediately consider taking the Jade te and Jade Buddha for help, he did promptly send out inquiries about any famous doctors in the world of martial arts who could treat him, until he learned of Chu Ge.


    That brought about the ensuing events.


    "Do you remember what that person looked like?" Chu Ge asked curiously.


    A fierce light shed in Qian Youquan’s eyes, and he gritted his teeth, "I will never forget the appearance of that person in my life. Though I never saw his face, those blood-red eyes and the Evil Energy emanating from him, I will never forget!"


    Blood-red eyes?


    Chu Ge keenly seized a few key words from Qian Youquan’s statement and asked in surprise, "You haven’t seen that person’s face?"


    The masked man he had encountered always wore a mask and had a pair of blood-red pupils—could they be the same person?


    Thinking of the confrontation with the masked man over the Jade Buddha, Chu Ge felt even more certain.


    This idea was confirmed by Qian Youquan, who nodded and told Chu Ge, "The man always wore a mask that hid his face and features, but those blood-red eyes were too conspicuous, impossible to forget at a single nce! Oh, and he was also always dressed in ck, acting like some sort of night vignte."
