Chapter 627 - 0629: Change of Attitude
Chu Ge said, it would be best to blur the lines between truth and falsehood, making them truly believe his illness had not yet abated.
Mr. Nangong, unaware of the machinations going on inside Chu Ge’s mind, had his own considerations. Being old, shrewd and calculating, he believed this was the best way to root out the internal spy within the Nangong Family.
Especially when he heard that Chu Ge had brought the precious Earth Ganoderma, something that could strengthen the body and even prolong life—not just for the average person.
As the patriarch of the Nangong Family, someone whose influence could shake the ground with a mere stomp, power and status had long become as insignificant as clouds to him.
Especially after several life-threatening illnesses, he had come to treasure life’s worth even more. Now all he desired was to live well and make the most out of his life.
Old Master Nangong gave Chu Ge a glance, feigning indifference to the medicinal herb he offered.
"Pfft!" Shao Gang saw the herbal medicine in Chu Ge’s hands and immediately sneered, saying, "Chu Ge, I know you want to show off in front of Old Master Nangong, but you don’t have to do this. I have been treating the Old Master’s illness all along; am I not clear about his condition? You think a mere Earth Ganoderma is enough to completely cure the Old Master’s illness? Hmph! It’s utterly nonsensical!"
Towards the end of his remark, Shao Gang’s face showed anger, seemingly offended by Chu Ge’s attitude, while the wise ones in the room, in an awkward atmosphere, chose not to get involved, each focusing on minding their own business, as if they hadn’t seen the confrontation.
Facing Shao Gang’s ridicule, Chu Ge remained unruffled. He calmly took the Earth Ganoderma out of the box, approached Old Master Nangong, and asked, "I wonder if Old Master Nangong could trust Chu Ge this once. I assure you, with this Earth Ganoderma, I can cure all the ailments you suffer from!"
As Chu Ge spoke, his gaze was firm, and he didn’t show a trace of unease—it was as if he was filled with confidence, as though he never intended to cure the Old Master’s illness before.
