Chapter 1754 — Wait for Me to Come Back! "This..." Divine Doctor Kang Was Stunned, and So Was Kang Zhaoming...

"If I had known that was the prescription they wanted, I would never have let You Shisan help you. I never imagined Wei Zhao would be such a daredevil. If You Shisan hadn't made the decision to withdraw at once, then even if he had managed to kill Wei Zhao, he would have ended up crippled himself!" After hearing what had happened, You Zhentian could not help shaking his head. He truly had not expected Wei Zhao to go that far.

"Exactly. Luckily Wei Zhao didn't come earlier and obediently hand over the formula for the Longevity and Detoxification Pill. Otherwise, if he had come ready to fight us to the death, we might have ended up with nothing." After understanding what had happened, Kang Zhaoming was shaken as well.

At the time, he had been puzzled as to why You Shisan had fled after gaining the upper hand. Now he understood that there had been another reason.

"Young Master You, what exactly did you mean just now?" Divine Doctor Kang asked cautiously.

"Our You family has formulas for wound medicine and analgesics too!" You Zhentian declared bluntly. "Those are the most basic alchemical formulas there are. Was it really worth taking such a risk? You should have said so earlier. I could simply have given them to you. Why go to all that trouble?"

"You have them?" Divine Doctor Kang stared at him, then immediately lit up with delight.

"Of course. We martial artists are constantly treating injuries and relieving pain." You Zhentian nodded.

"But the wound medicine and analgesics from Guan's Pharmaceutical are not only highly effective, they're inexpensive too!" Kang Zhaoming protested. "Our Kang family has a formula for golden wound medicine as well, but it's expensive to produce. It can't compete!"

"That's easy enough to solve. You want something cheap, don't you? We also have formulas for golden wound medicine that are slightly less effective, but the production cost is extremely low. A bottle would cost only a few dollars. The analgesic is the same; a few dollars would be enough to make it. Of course, the effects won't be as miraculous as yours. Your golden wound medicine stops bleeding within seconds, whereas mine takes several dozen seconds. Their analgesic takes effect immediately, while mine needs a few minutes. Will that be a problem?"

"No problem! Absolutely no problem!" Divine Doctor Kang was overjoyed. "Who could tell the difference between such a tiny gap in efficacy? And even if there is a difference, our lower prices will still let us capture a share of the market. This time, we must take back the market share we've lost!"

"Thank you, Young Master You!" Kang Zhaoming hastily expressed his gratitude as well.

"It's nothing, just a small matter. Besides, since you're in the pharmaceutical business, we can entrust you with selling some of our pills in the future. That way, you'll gain prestige as well as money." Having obtained the formulas, You Zhentian was naturally generous toward the Kang family.

"Thank you so much!" Kang Zhaoming said excitedly. "From now on, our Kang family will be relying on the You family for support..."

As far as the You and Kang families were concerned, this cooperation had ended in everyone's delight. Both sides had obtained what they wanted.

Meanwhile, Wei Zhao and the others were preparing to set out on their journey once more.

"Old Guan, Xinxin, we're leaving now. We won't trouble you any longer. If anything comes up, give us a call anytime." After finishing their boxed meals, Wei Zhao and the others prepared to say goodbye.

"All right. Take care on the road!" Guan Xuemin reminded them.

Guan Xin stood to one side, wanting to say something but hesitating. With Tang Yun, Gu Mengyao, and the others present, she found it difficult to speak.

"Xinxin, is there something you wanted to say?" Wei Zhao noticed the unusual look on her face and asked.

"I..." Guan Xin pressed her lips together, unsure how to begin.

"Heh, Yunyun, Yaoyao, Xiaoshu, why don't you wait for me in the car?" Seeing that Guan Xin did not want to speak in front of the others, Wei Zhao instructed them to leave.

"All right." Tang Yun was not jealous in the slightest. Wei Zhao's willingness to risk himself to save Guan Xin was enough to show how important she was to him. But the two of them had still not become lovers. If they were ever going to develop that kind of relationship, it would have happened already; nothing was likely to change in this one moment. And if it really did happen, Tang Yun could not stop it anyway. There was no point in making trouble for herself.

Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu said nothing either. In their eyes, Guan Xin must simply have wanted to offer Wei Zhao some private words of thanks, so they followed Tang Yun to the car.

"There, now you can tell me, can't you?" Wei Zhao said with a smile.

Guan Xin's face flushed, and she looked a little embarrassed. "I'm about to resign and go study more advanced medical knowledge. When the time comes for me to leave, I may not get a chance to see you, so I wanted to say goodbye in advance..."

"Oh? You've made up your mind?" Wei Zhao already knew about Guan Xin's situation.

"Yes. I'll be leaving in the next few days," Guan Xin said.

"Study hard and keep improving every day." Wei Zhao wanted to encourage her, but that was the only thing he could think of.

Hearing this, Guan Xin could not help smiling. "I'm not a child anymore. Of course I'll work hard..."

"It's a good thing. It's also one of Grandpa Guan's wishes," Wei Zhao said.

"Yes... Wei Zhao, my studies may be extremely demanding. I probably won't have time to come back often... We won't be able to see each other very much..." At this point, Guan Xin lowered her head awkwardly. After a moment, she seemed to summon an immense amount of courage and said, "When I return after completing my studies, I'll definitely become your assistant..."

Wei Zhao paused for the briefest moment, then smiled. "All right. I'll wait for you!"

Medical skill was merely an auxiliary pursuit for Wei Zhao, not the goal he truly sought. But Guan Xin had set her heart on this, and he did not want to dampen her enthusiasm, so he agreed for the time being.

"Yes!" Guan Xin nodded. "Then goodbye. I hope you have a safe journey!"

"All right!" Wei Zhao said no more and turned to get into the car.

Tang Yun and the others did not ask what Guan Xin and Wei Zhao had discussed. Everyone had their own privacy, and asking too many questions would have seemed as though they did not trust Wei Zhao.

Before leaving, Gu Mengyao called Gu Pengzhan. They had returned this time without going home first. Although they had turned back halfway through their journey, they still ought to let their family know.

"Hello? Yaoyao, what is it? Why are you calling Daddy?" As soon as the call connected, Gu Pengzhan's voice sounded unusually excited, as though he had encountered some great piece of good news.

"Daddy, something came up unexpectedly while we were on the way, so we came back for a while. We're in Songshan City now and haven't set out yet. Where are you? Should we come see you?" Gu Mengyao asked.

"I'm at the company, and I'm very busy. Don't come over. Go out and have fun. Daddy's been too busy lately and can't get away to spend time with you!" Gu Pengzhan said. From the other end of the call, they could also hear someone speaking to him.

"All right, then. Daddy, please take good care of yourself. Don't work too hard..." Gu Mengyao urged him.
