But then again, the escape of the Blood Demon was actually a huge hidden danger. It was undeniable that it was rather difficult for the Blood Demon to pick a body that he wanted to control.
At first, he didn't want to give up my body, but at the last moment, he had no choice but to give up. Otherwise, Grandmaster Chen would have made up his mind to kill me.
Compared to the previous state of remnant consciousness, the Blood Devil had become a lot stronger. However, if it wanted to completely awaken, it would still need a steady stream of sacrifices. To some extent, Guan Ruolan's cultivation had become a sacrificial offering.
Although this process wouldn't happen too quickly, they couldn't just let it go, and they couldn't let their guard down.
Curator Du and Grandmaster Chen had discussed this and decided to track the Blood Demon as soon as possible. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that once the Blood Demon completely awakened, it would be a disaster for Hua Xia!
"Uh, how should I address you?" I noticed Curator Du's strange expression. This old man seemed to be very powerful.
"I'm Guan Wenshan," he answered with a smile.
Curator Du couldn't help but explain, "Xiao Zhuang, he's Guan Ruolan's grandfather. He gave you acupuncture this afternoon."
He was afraid that I would become arrogant after hearing Elder Guan's praise, so he didn't hide it from me.
"Ah!" I was stunned. Guan Ruolan's grandfather!
No wonder they looked so similar. Furthermore, this old man was emitting an extraordinary aura.
When I mentioned Guan Ruolan, I felt very guilty and uncomfortable. Sigh, since it had come to this, I could only think of a way to make it up to her. When Curator Du said that Elder Guan had given me acupuncture, I suddenly had an impression of it. At that time, I felt as if I was in a maze, and I couldn't get out of it no matter how hard I tried. At that time, I was panic-stricken. It was the rays of light that had awakened the central nervous system in my brain. Otherwise, I wouldn't have woken up so quickly with my weak nervous system.
He was my savior and also Guan Ruolan's grandfather. Previously, I thought that he wanted to test my bottom line, so I was on guard against him. I didn't expect that he would deeply shock Elder Guan.
Furthermore, the moment I found out his identity, I instinctively panicked. I had caused irreparable harm to Guan Ruolan. Could it be that Elder Guan was here to punish me?!
But looking at his appearance, he had always been amiable, without the slightest bit of anger.
If I didn't guess wrongly, Guan Ruolan probably hid this secret on purpose. Sigh, I did something wrong to her. She could have made things difficult for me, but she didn't.
"Cough! Cough! I'm sorry, Elder Guan. I didn't know it was you." I couldn't help but feel awkward and apologetic. I didn't dare to look at him.
Elder Guan didn't care about it. He said with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay. You are so young, but you already have a godly acupuncture technique. It's natural for you to be a bit arrogant."
I was embarrassed by his praise. If he knew the truth, he might turn against me on the spot.
"I don't deserve it. If it wasn't for you, I might not have woken up. Thank you sincerely."
I cupped my fist. This was my heartfelt gratitude. Hearing me say that, Liu Jie felt a bit guilty.
"Grandpa Guan, I'm sorry. I was too anxious and said some ignorant things. Please don't take it to heart."
Liu Jie stuck out her tongue, paused for a moment, and then added, "But don't worry, I promised to give you a house, so I'll definitely give it to you. When you're free, I'll accompany you to the hot spring town anytime. You can choose anything you like."
Liu Jie wasn't a stingy girl. In her eyes, I was the sky. If I didn't wake up, then the sky would collapse. No matter how much money she had, she wouldn't be able to get the happiness she wanted. Instead, with Elder Guan's help, I woke up. This kind of joy was indescribable.
Elder Guan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You little girl, you're quite interesting. This old man isn't the kind of person who pursues fame and fortune. I don't need any medical fees. Being able to get to know the young divine doctor is fate."
To him, money was just a number. It wasn't that Elder Guan was rich, but that he was a very casual person. If he met someone he didn't want to treat, no matter how much money he gave, it wouldn't change his mind. On the contrary, if he met someone he liked or really pitiful, even if he didn't take a single cent, Elder Guan would still help them. He was used to living a frugal life. His biggest hobby was to study medicine.
Now, he had finally met someone who could truly subdue him. Not to mention collecting money, even if he had to spend money, he would be 100% willing.
"Grandpa Guan, don't be angry. Otherwise, if my wrinkles grow, I won't be so energetic." Liu Jie pouted, acting like a spoiled child.
Her cute appearance made Elder Guan laugh. Even Shang Guan Guoqiang couldn't help but laugh. This little girl was very likable to the old man.
It must be said that at the beginning, when I had a few female confidantes by my side, the commander-in-chief was quite opposed to it. With Wan 'er's status in Nanyun Province, she was truly a golden branch and jade leaf. Compared to other girls, she simply paled in comparison. If it was any other man, he should know how to make the choice.
However, my attitude was firm. Even when faced with the Commander-in-Chief's angry questioning, I didn't change my mind. If this matter were to spread out, people would definitely think that I was a fool. But from this point alone, it could prove that I was a loyal person.
Just think about it, if I abandon my former confidantes because I want to curry favor with the rich and powerful, from a certain point of view, even if Shangguan Guoqiang achieves his goal, it would not be glorious. Moreover, I can abandon them for Wan'er now. Perhaps in the future, I can abandon Wan'er for another woman with even more power and status.
How could the commander-in-chief not understand this logic? So, he didn't make things difficult for me. As long as Wan 'er was happy, there was no need to deliberately pursue perfection.
Moreover, when I first met Liu Jie and my sister-in-law, I felt that they weren't bad. One was cute and playful, while the other was reasonable. From certain details, I could see the two women's personalities.
The most important thing was that Wan 'er got along well with them. Previously, my promise was one thing, but now that I saw it with my own eyes, it was another feeling. Shang Guan Guoqiang truly felt that I was outstanding. I was brave and smart. I was not arrogant or impetuous. I was very much to his liking. The only problem was the matter with the Blood Demon not long ago.
