PATGFM Chapter 41: Yu Xin and Yu Qing
Yu Xin looked at Lu Chuan in disbelief.
Lu Chuan smiled, feeling a sense of satisfaction.
Yu Xin pointed at him, "You... you did this on purpose!"
Lu Chuan chuckled, "What's it to me? You insisted on learning from me."
Yu Xin, full of anxiety, grabbed Lu Chuan's arm and said, "You're a divine doctor, right? You must have a way to cure this poison, right? Hurry up and help me. I feel a burning sensation in my throat and I'm almost unable to speak. Please help me!"
Lu Chuan shrugged, "Didn't you hear what the boss just said? The poison from the son grass can only be neutralized by the mother grass. I can't help you."
"You!" Yu Xin felt despair and helplessness. The next moment, she found that she couldn't speak anymore.
She grabbed her throat with her hands, jumping up and down in front of Lu Chuan.
Lu Chuan sighed, "The world is finally quiet."

Inspectorate.
Xiao Yun, holding a briefcase, sat politely next to Yu Qing.
Yu Qing poured two cups of tea and handed one to Xiao Yun. "Xiao Shao, have some tea."
Xiao Yun immediately smiled, "Lord Yu, you're too polite."
Yu Qing asked, "I wonder what Xiao Shao is here for?"
Xiao Yun said, "I heard about a guy named Lu Chuan who offended Lord Yu's daughter. Such an ungrateful fellow must be quite annoying to you, right?"
Yu Qing was taken aback, giving Xiao Yun a scrutinizing look, and tentatively asked, "Is Xiao Shao here for this Lu Chuan?"
Seeing that Yu Qing didn't deny his words, Xiao Yun felt that the other party must be displeased with Lu Chuan. So he openly said, "To be honest, I won't hide it from Lord Yu. This Lu Chuan injured one of my men last night, disabling his dantian. Your daughter happened to encounter this incident, saying she wanted to intervene for us and punish Lu Chuan."
"Since Lord Yu also dislikes this Lu Chuan, and now there's a ready-made opportunity, why not take advantage of it and punish Lu Chuan more severely to rid society of a troublemaker?"
After saying that, he brought up the briefcase, opened it, revealing stacks of banknotes inside.
Yu Qing frowned, feeling a sense of unease rising within him.
He glanced at the money and asked, "I wonder why Lu Chuan would injure your subordinate?"
Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Since we've already laid our cards on the table, I won't hide it from Lord Yu. Actually, it was Lu Chuan who provoked me. I sent someone to deal with him, but unexpectedly, we were countered. However, that's not important. What's important is that we can take advantage of this opportunity to punish Lu Chuan."
Yu Qing clenched his fists, his face full of anger, muttering to himself, "Yu Xin, this foolish girl. She causes trouble without understanding the consequences, she's really infuriating me!"
Xiao Yun looked puzzled, "Lord Yu, what's wrong?"
Yu Qing coldly snorted, directly pushing the bag of money off the table, "Xiao Shao, do you know you're openly bribing me?"
Xiao Yun was stunned, "Lord... Lord Yu, I didn't say the money was for you. I just opened it to let some air in."
Yu Qing snorted, "Then you directing others to retaliate against others is also unforgivable. Take him away! Detain him for half a month for now!"
"Yes!"
Two inspectors came in and restrained Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun was suddenly flustered, "No, I just came for tea. Why are you arresting me?"
Yu Qing coldly said, "Take him away. Don't let him contact anyone. Let him reflect in the detention room for half a month!"
"Yes, sir!"
The two inspectors took Xiao Yun away.
Yu Qing looked at Xiao Zhang, "Go and call Yu Xin for me!"
Xiao Zhang turned and left the office.
After a while, Xiao Zhang returned, looking embarrassed as he said to Yu Qing, "Lord, Miss just sent a message saying she's encountered some trouble at the Antique Street. Should we go over there?"
Yu Qing slammed his fist on the table, "This silly girl. If she causes trouble again this time, I'll cut off ties with her!"
Then he quickly got up and rushed to Antique Street with Xiao Zhang.
Antique Street.
Yu Xin sat on the ground, her eyes red, crying while typing on her phone.
She couldn't speak at all now, crying without making any sound.
Many people gathered around to watch the excitement.
Lu Chuan, disguised as an onlooker, stood in the crowd, cracking open the sunflower seeds handed to him by someone nearby.
In a short while, Yu Qing and Xiao Zhang hurried over.
As soon as Yu Xin saw them, she seemed to gather some courage, quickly ran over, opening her mouth but unable to utter a word, gesturing with her hands in a pitiful manner.
Yu Qing furrowed his brows, scanned the crowd, and when he saw Lu Chuan, he quickly walked over, expressing apologies, "Dr. Lu, I'm really sorry. My unruly daughter has caused you trouble again. Can you tell me what happened? Why can't my daughter speak?"
Lu Chuan recounted the whole story truthfully.
Xiao Zhang dispersed the crowd that had gathered to watch the excitement.
Feeling blackened in the face after hearing Lu Chuan's account, Yu Qing turned his head and glanced at Yu Xin, shouting, "You brought this upon yourself by becoming mute!"
Yu Xin was full of dissatisfaction as she typed on her phone: "It's clearly that bastard who crippled someone else's dantian. I just wanted to uphold justice!"
Yu Qing suppressed his anger and said, "That guy, A Cai, was sent by Xiao Yun from the Xiao family to deal with Lu Chuan, but unfortunately, he was killed by Lu Chuan. Today, Xiao Yun wanted to bribe me to increase Lu Chuan's punishment. I directly detained him. You were used as a pawn by others, yet you're pretending to be righteous here. How can I have such a foolish daughter like you?"
Yu Xin was dumbfounded after hearing this.
She quickly typed: "So, can't I apologize to him? Every time something bad happens, it's always me. He can't really let my voice go mute, right?"
Yu Qing coldly snorted, not wanting to deal with his daughter.
He called Lu Chuan aside and asked with a pleading tone, "Dr. Lu, is there really no way to cure my daughter's voice? I know she's been quite annoying lately, but she hasn't gotten married yet. If she becomes mute, it'll be a burden on me in the future..."
Lu Chuan sighed helplessly and said, "There is a way to cure it... Oh, that fifty-year-old Lingzhi in the shop over there looks really good... But this whole thing was caused by your daughter herself."
Yu Qing immediately said, "Dr. Lu, please wait a moment."
He then ran to the nearby shop and bought the fifty-year-old Lingzhi for 350,000.
"Dr. Lu, this is just a token of appreciation. Please don't hesitate to accept it," Yu Qing handed the Lingzhi to Lu Chuan.
Lu Chuan took out a bottle of Hundred Resolutions Pills from his pocket and poured out a pill, "This pill can neutralize the poison from the mother and son grass."
Yu Qing's eyes lit up, "Let me first thank Dr. Lu for my disobedient daughter."
He reached out to take it, but Lu Chuan retracted his hand.
"I can give you this pill, but I have a request."
Yu Qing hurriedly asked, "What request?"
Lu Chuan glanced at Yu Xin and said, "Let her be mute for a month first. After all, I'm only willing to give the pill because of your seniority. If it weren't for your plea, I wouldn't care about her."
Yu Qing nodded, "I understand. Rest assured, I won't let her easily get this pill."
Lu Chuan said nothing more, handed the pill to Yu Qing, and then left with the fifty-year-old Lingzhi.
Today, Yu Xin went from being a high-profile inspector to a janitor without spending a penny.
After Lu Chuan left, Yu Qing returned to Yu Xin.
Yu Xin quickly typed, "Dad, is there a solution?"
Yu Qing glared at her, "There is, but I don't want to give it to you now."
Yu Xin immediately became anxious and typed, "Dad, I'm your own daughter!"
Yu Qing coldly snorted, "I'd rather not have a daughter like you!"
"When you go back later, report to the cleaning department. Work there for a month. If you perform well, I'll tell you how to cure your voice. If you don't, then you'll be a mute for the rest of your life!"
Yu Xin pouted and cried silently again.
She couldn't imagine that in just a few days, she went from being a high-profile inspector to a janitor.
Life was so unfair!

Lu Chuan returned home with the Lingzhi and immediately began refining the Rongling Pill.
Thanks to his previous experience, he succeeded in refining the Rongling Pill in just two hours this time.
Then, without wasting any time, he hurried to the Eastern Park.
The effect of the Rongling Pill was astonishing, and all the spiritual energy in the surrounding area converged towards Lu Chuan.
At nine o'clock in the evening.
A ripple spread out from Lu Chuan's body, shaking the trees around him, and the leaves rustled.
Lu Chuan opened his eyes, then suddenly slapped the ground.
Bang!
A large pit about a meter deep appeared, and Lu Chuan's body was pushed into the air by the reaction force, then fell heavily to the ground.
A excited smile appeared on his face. "It's only been a day, and I've reached the fourth level of Qi training. Even in the cultivation world, I'm considered an extraordinary talent."
Of course, he knew that the reason for his rapid progress was the true dragon's energy. However, even with the true dragon's energy, it wouldn't be possible to break through so quickly without talent.
"Now, my strength should surpass that of martial arts experts below the ninth stage of internal energy. I wonder how the martial arts realm is divided above the ninth stage of internal energy."
At this moment, he suddenly felt a slight disorder in the power within his body, and his brows furrowed.
After quickly suppressing the source of the disorder, Lu Chuan muttered to himself, "Why did a disorder suddenly occur? Could it be because I broke through too quickly and my foundation is unstable?"
He took out a few Peiyuan Pills and swallowed them.
After leaving the park, Lu Chuan stretched lazily.
He looked around and saw the bustling city with lights everywhere.
"My sister-in-law's bar is nearby. It's all because of Ning Xin that I couldn't ask for her forgiveness in the morning. Why don't I go to the bar now and find her?"
He arrived at the bar where Mu Nanqing worked.
Lu Chuan stood across the street, looking at the bar.
The sign of the bar read "Tipsy."
At this moment, the door of the bar was pushed open, and Mu Nanqing walked out.
However, she looked drunk, swaying as she walked, with four tall young men by her side.
They were talking and laughing.
Lu Chuan muttered to himself, "Are those her friends?"
Just as he was about to go up and say hello, the four young men looked at each other, smirked simultaneously, and led Mu Nanqing into a dark alley nearby.
