Xuanxia

Chapter 400 Open the way

Gu Jinchen opened the secret compartment in the bookcase in the study and took out a small brocade box.

The brocade box was opened, revealing a small, round, dark-colored pill inside, which filled the room with fragrance.

This Qiyuan Pill was sent by Lan Hongjun's aunt.

Gu Jinchen knew that his aunt was no ordinary person.

Even the master Lan Wanxiong was full of awe when he mentioned his sister... No one knew what she was doing or where she was, but they all knew that Aunt Lan Hongjun was a big shot.

Just like this time, when Lan Hongjun was seriously injured, his aunt immediately sent him this Qiyuan Pill.

What kind of pill is this?

This is the pill that can cure Lan Hongjun's paralysis.

Along with the pill came a sentence - after half a month of recuperation and when your qi and blood flow smoothly, you can take this pill. There is a 90% chance that you can recover immediately after taking it, but there is a 10% chance that you will need to rest for several days before you can get out of bed.

Having said that, no matter what, after taking this pill, the serious and disabling injuries will be healed immediately!

Of course, right now, Lan Hongjun can’t wait for half a month of recuperation to restore his qi and blood circulation.

The fact that he attacked Yue Heng with a weapon was about to be exposed.

Although he did not hurt Yue Heng, and the incident of stealing the book was shifted to Lan Shaozhong, he might not be convicted in the end, or might even be accused of false accusation, but... his father would not let him go.

Lan Wanxiong is not stupid, and he doesn't need evidence if he wants to punish his son.

"Give me the pill."

Lan Hongjun said in a deep voice: "I want to eat now."

Gu Jinchen held the pill in his hand and said in a trembling voice, "Sir, this pill requires a smooth flow of Qi and blood..."

"It's too late!" Lan Hongjun gritted his teeth and said, "We all know that there is a secret passage in this study, but do you want me to go through it in a wheelchair? Hurry! The Mingjian Pavilion should be here soon!"

Gu Jinchen sighed helplessly and brought the Qiyuan Pill to his young master's lips.

Lan Hongjun opened his mouth impatiently and swallowed it. The moment it entered his mouth, the pill dissolved.

Seeing him swallow the pill, Gu Jinchen's expression quickly calmed down. He took two steps back and stood still, as if waiting for something.

Soon, Lan Hongjun's entire body began to tremble violently.

A thick white mist rose from him, his expression kept switching between pain and comfort, his eyes opened and closed.

During this process, his ten fingers, which had long lost sensation and ability to move... began to move little by little, and his feet also began to tremble slightly!
“Haha…haha!”

Lan Hongjun couldn't help but let out a delighted groan, then his whole body shook and he kicked his legs straight.

"I can feel it!" He was overjoyed. He supported himself on the wheelchair armrests with both hands, slowly put his feet on the ground, and stood up little by little.

Gu Jinchen quickly stepped forward and supported him.

"Okay, okay, aunt is really amazing!"

Lan Hongjun was overjoyed: "As long as I join her, no one can do anything to me!"

Gu Jinchen asked in a low voice: "But sir, do you know where your aunt is?"

"Humph, of course I know!"

Lan Hongjun sneered and rolled his eyes at him: "Why are you asking so many questions? Just follow me! Quick, help me to the secret passage!"

"Yes……"

Gu Jinchen responded, and then seemed to remember something: "By the way, sir, you'd better take this with you."

As he spoke, he took out something from his clothes and stuffed it into Lan Hongjun's hand.

Lan Hongjun looked down and was immediately shocked!

What was stuffed into his hand was the dagger that was originally hidden in his boots!
"you?!"

He suddenly looked up at Gu Jinchen, but saw only a pair of extremely cold eyes.

The next moment, Gu Jinchen stretched out his two hands, covered Lan Hongjun's mouth with one hand, and pushed Lan Hongjun's knife-holding hand with the other hand, and stabbed the dagger into his heart!

Lan Hongjun had just recovered and had no strength left, so he was immediately pushed back into the wheelchair. The wheelchair was pushed back a few steps and hit the wall.

His mouth and nose were covered, so he could only make grunting sounds as he struggled. He could only stare with wide eyes as the tip of the knife got closer and closer to his heart.

"Son..."

Gu Jinchen said coldly: "You have become so miserable, why don't you just commit suicide out of fear of punishment?"

The tip of the knife slowly pierced through Lan Hongjun's clothes and his skin, and blood began to seep out bit by bit.

He struggled feebly, uttering a few words vaguely from between his fingers: "Why... why..."

"Why?" Gu Jinchen sneered: "Don't you know? You really don't know what a waste you are? If you can pass the exam, can you pass it if it's not because someone leaked the questions in advance and I wrote the essay for you?"

"You... you really don't have any brains at all."

As he spoke, the dagger had already slowly pierced into Lan Hongjun's chest. The tip of the knife sank into his flesh bit by bit, and blood began to gush out.

Lan Hongjun's eyes widened, and blood began to flow from his mouth and nose. The blood flowed down from Gu Jinchen's fingers, thick and bright red.

"I lied to you, saying that Yue Heng had learned magic and that I might not be able to defeat him without a dagger, and you actually believed it?"

Gu Jinchen smiled faintly and said, "Have you never thought that from the moment you pulled out the dagger, either you seriously injured or killed Yue Heng, or Yue Heng seriously injured or killed you. No matter which outcome, you will definitely not be well?"

"..."

Lan Hongjun's eyes widened, but his body's struggles became less and less, and the light in his pupils gradually faded.

The tip of the knife had already sunk deeply into his heart.

The handle of the knife was still in his own hand. Gu Jinchen simply pushed his wrist, pressing the knife deeper and deeper.

"My lord..."

Gu Jinchen looked directly at the pair of pupils in front of him that had lost their luster and smiled, "I have served you for so many years, can you also open a way for me?"

……

"Ah! Sir!"

Suddenly, a scream pierced the night sky in the quiet courtyard.

Liu Xingyuan and Wang Dahai, who were searching through the drawers in the bedroom, were both shocked.

After they looked at each other, they flashed at the same time and chased after the sound!

Soon, they followed the faint crying sound and found a small study... The moment they opened the door, a strong smell of blood hit their noses.

Lan Hongjun was seen slumped in a wheelchair, holding an ornate dagger in his hand, stabbing it straight into his heart, with blood gushing out of his mouth and nose.

Gu Jinchen's hands were covered in blood. He knelt in front of the wheelchair, banging his head on the ground and crying bitterly.

"what happened!"

Liu Xingyuan asked in surprise.

Gu Jinchen raised his head, his face full of tears: "Sir... The young master took advantage of me not paying attention... took a pill, pulled out the dagger hidden in the wheelchair, and committed suicide!"

"I, I can't stop him at all, I can't, I can't stop him at all..."

As he spoke, Wang Dahai quickly checked Lan Hongjun's body.

"His broken cervical vertebra has recovered."

Wang Dahai said in a deep voice: "There is a pinch mark on the wrist."

"It's... it's me..." Gu Jinchen said in a sobbing voice, "I wanted to stop you, but, but it's too late..."

Liu Xingyuan frowned deeply: "What kind of medicine did he take?"

"It's the pill his aunt gave me..." Gu Jinchen said as he started to cough because he cried so hard. After coughing for a long time, he said in a hoarse voice, "It seems to be called Qiyuan Pill."

“Qiyuan Pill!”

Liu and Wang looked at each other, and they seemed to understand something.

"As expected of a descendant of the Lan family, he was able to obtain such a miraculous medicine."

Liu Xingyuan squinted and looked at Lan Hongjun's body: "But he took such a pill just to commit suicide?"

"Haha, I heard that his father, Lan Wanxiong, is very harsh on his son." Wang Dahai laughed and reached out to touch the dagger on Lan Hongjun's chest: "This kid doesn't fear the laws of Dayan, but he is scared to death of his father."

This dagger was exactly the same as the one Yue Heng had described in the classroom, and it now appeared on Lan Hongjun's chest, which was enough to explain many problems.

Liu Xingyuan looked back and forth between the corpse and the crying Gu Jinchen: "What?"

"Then don't bother."

Wang Dahai and his colleagues exchanged a glance, both with an inexplicable look in their eyes. Then he stretched himself and said, "You've been busy all day, aren't you tired? We can settle this case now."
