29 -29: Can you get up as I wait?
Before the pain could subside, his arm was abruptly seized, sending acute pain shooting through it.
Before he could react, another jolt of pain came from his elbow, quickly followed by strikes to both his knees.
“Bang”
In the midst of spinning skies and rolling earth, it felt like he had collided with numerous obstacles, until finally, his back slammed hard against something.
While groaning in agony, Gu Chengan opened his eyes to gaze at Gu Zhiqi.
Through a blurry vision, he saw they were separated by more than a dozen steps, and there she stood against the light, high upon the staircase, towering above and looking down at him with disdain, “I’ve told you before, touch me less, and the same goes for my stuff.”

The already unappealing complexion of Gu Chengan’s face suddenly turned uglier as he struggled to rise, only to be greeted with even more intense pain.
He managed a pained hiss and said through gritted teeth to Gu Zhiqi, “You just wait.”
Gu Zhiqi let out a light snort, her brows filled with unrestrained amusement, “I’ll wait, but can you even stand up?”
The clear mockery in her tone lingered.
After finishing her words, she did not spare Gu Chengan another glance and turned away, leaving with an air of nonchalance.
Gu Chengan’s face grew darker and darker as he continued to lie in the corner of the stairs, trying to alleviate the pain before attempting to rise again.
He took his time, and it was quite a while before Tang Yun came out from the kitchen with the freshly prepared meal, yet the pain lingered on.
The staircase was directly in line with the kitchen door, and upon exiting, Tang Yun could see everything at a glance.
The words that were supposed to call Gu Zhiqi down for the meal morphed into concern for Gu Chengan, “Chengan, what happened to you?”
As she spoke, she hurriedly jogged upstairs.
“It’s nothing, just took a fall.” Gu Chengan felt an overwhelming pain and with Tang Yun’s arrival, he tried to get up, but the attempt to move only caused his body to be ravished by excruciating pain, forcing him to cry out in agony and give up on standing.
Rushing to Gu Chengan’s side, Tang Yun reached out to help him, but the moment she touched him, he winced in pain, “Aunt Tang, don’t move me.”
Seeing this, Tang Yun stood helplessly beside him, anxious, “Can’t you get up?
I’ll… I’ll go get Grandpa Yue to take a look at you, just stay still for now.”
It took her a moment to realize she needed assistance.
After speaking, Tang Yun hurriedly ran out the door.
Gu Chengan initially wanted to say it wasn’t necessary, but after a second thought, he held back his words.
Gu Zhiqi had struck him hard this time, and he was unsure when the pain would subside.

Gu Chengan thought Gu Zhiqi had used excessive force, oblivious to the fact that she had already restrained herself greatly to avoid killing him.
Carrying a basket full of various plants, Gu Zhiqi returned to her room and locked the door behind her.
She casually placed the basket on the nightstand, removed her shoes, and sat crossed-legged on the bed.
Raising her hand, she took the Crushed Ice Rain Mist from the basket, her gaze lowered as she stared at the flower for a few seconds before murmuring softly, “I hope this works.”
After speaking, she tore off a few petals and placed them in her mouth to chew carefully.
She returned the rest of the flowers to the basket, closed her eyes, and began to meditate.
In a realm invisible to the naked eye, the air around Gu Zhiqi began to swirl rapidly, centered around her.

Downstairs, Tang Yun had already brought Grandpa Yue.
Grandpa Yue was the village’s barefoot doctor, a respected elder accustomed to treating the minor ailments of the locals.
Gu Chengan’s frequent brawls often resulted in injuries, which would lead him to Grandpa Yue for treatment, making them quite familiar with each other over time.
Upon hearing that Gu Chengan had taken a fall and couldn’t get up, Grandpa Yue followed Tang Yun over without hesitation.
But as soon as he stepped into the Gu Family’s house, Grandpa Yue’s expression changed dramatically as he stopped in his tracks and murmured softly, “Such a powerful energy.”
