Inheriting a security escort agency, the game begins with escorting the eldest princess.

Chapter 41 Gu Jingchen's Past

After a clash of internal energy, Gu Jingchen staggered backward, only managing to regain his footing after several seconds. His astonished gaze fell upon Chu Sheng, whose internal energy was actually stronger than his own.

Chu Sheng frowned.

"Sir, you are injured and no match for me."

Gu Jingchen was slightly taken aback, not expecting that Chu Sheng could see that he was injured. "Chu Sheng, I did underestimate you. Your cultivation is enough to make you stand out among all the heroes in the world."

"However, even though I am injured, I can still defeat you. I am not as vulnerable as you say."

"You are injured, so defeating you would be dishonorable," Chu Sheng said. "If the toxins in your body are not cleared soon, they will attack your heart, and then even a god could not cure you."

"When you fight me, every time you activate your true energy, the poison intensifies. You must be aware of that."

Gu Jingchen naturally knew that Chu Sheng was absolutely right, but he had no other choice.

Only by obtaining the treasures on Chu Sheng's body can he exchange them for the antidote.

Some people might find it strange that a grandmaster could be poisoned.

This story begins thirty years ago when Gu Jingchen infiltrated the Great Qian Imperial Palace and stole the national treasure. In that battle, he was besieged by the nine Grand Masters of Great Qian. Although he managed to escape, he was also poisoned by the most potent poison gas in Great Qian.

Deadly Soul-Eating Powder.

This poison ranks among the top ten on the list of all poisons in the world, and even grandmasters cannot withstand it.

If he hadn't used his internal energy to suppress the toxins all these years, he would have died from the poison attacking his heart long ago.

Because he had to use his true energy to suppress the toxins, his cultivation level had not improved at all in the past three thousand years. As a result, his strength had even declined.

"I can help you detoxify yourself. Why don't you sit down and have a chat?"

Gu Jingchen stared at Chu Sheng in shock and disbelief, asking, "Can you really help me detoxify?"

"Do you know what kind of poison is in my body?"

Chu Sheng said, "No matter what kind of poison it is, I can help you get rid of it. It just depends on whether you want to get rid of it or not."

Gu Jingchen pondered for a moment, knowing that there's no such thing as a free lunch. Since Chu Sheng offered to help him detoxify, he must have ulterior motives. "Young Master Chu, tell me, what do I need to do to help me detoxify?"

"It's actually very simple. You just need to join the Zhenyuan Escort Agency."

"It's that simple?"

"That's right, it's that simple!" Chu Sheng said confidently. "If you join, I will immediately detoxify you, and you will be fully recovered in an hour."

"The decision is yours."

Hearing that he could be cured in an hour, it would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted. The toxins in his body had plagued Gu Jingchen for thirty years, and every time the toxins relapsed, he had to suffer the pain of being devoured by the gods.

The kind of pain that makes your soul tremble can only be known by those who have truly experienced it.

"If Young Master Chu can help me detoxify, I agree to join the Zhenyuan Escort Agency."

"Come with me!"

Chu Sheng's figure floated down from the mountain peak and walked towards the Cloud Inn, with Gu Jingchen following closely behind.

Seeing this scene.

Ye Yun frowned slightly, her face showing confusion. What was wrong with her master? Why didn't he just kill him?

Watching them chat happily, Ye Yun suddenly felt that her master was somewhat unfamiliar.

"Master, I'm here, save me!"

Gu Jingchen looked in the direction of the voice and sternly reprimanded, "Stand still!"

Night Rhyme: "?"

Chu Sheng looked at Li Anlan, Nie Kuang, and Ling Shuo and said, "We will set off in an hour. During this hour, do not let anyone disturb me and Elder Gu."

Nie Kuang said, "Young master, rest assured, with me here, not even a fly can get close."

Chu Sheng walked towards the room. As he walked, a thought struck him, and he spent 1,000 escort points to exchange for a Detoxification Pill in the shop. Instantly, all his escort points in the shop were cleared.

One detoxifying pill can cure all poisons.

Although it is unknown whether the Deadly Soul-Eating Powder can be completely removed from Gu Jingchen's body, it can at least remove about 70-80%. In addition, with his internal energy helping him expel the poison, the toxins in his body will definitely be completely cleared within an hour at most.

inside the room.

Chu Sheng raised his hand and handed the Detoxification Pill to Gu Jingchen, "Take this pill, and it will clear most of the toxins from your body. I will use my true energy to force out the remaining toxins."

Gu Jingchen took the pill and put it in his mouth. The powerful medicinal effect instantly flowed through his body. He could clearly feel the toxins in his body rapidly weakening, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

Such a miraculous elixir exists in the world.

Over the past thirty years, he has traveled to many places and visited hundreds of renowned doctors, all of whom were helpless against the toxins in his body.

Who would have thought that Chu Sheng could reduce the poison so much with just one pill? It's simply unbelievable. Such a powerful pill can be called a divine medicine.

Chu Sheng gestured for Gu Jingchen to sit down. "Elder Gu, I'm a little curious. You're already a Grandmaster, so how could you be poisoned? It doesn't make sense."

Gu Jingchen sighed softly, "This is a long story. Thirty years ago, during a battle with the nine elders of the Great Qian Dynasty, one of them was a Grandmaster-level poison master. I was accidentally poisoned by him."

"To be honest, the reason I came here to seize the treasures from you, young master, was because I was threatened by the Great Qian Dynasty."

"They sent me to seize the treasure, to exchange the treasures on your person for the antidote to the Life-Stealing God-Eating Powder. If it weren't for the antidote, I wouldn't have come."

"It's not their threats; no one else can persuade me to do it."

Chu Sheng nodded. "So that's how it is!"

Gu Jingchen continued, "The Great Qian Dynasty is determined to obtain the Nameless Heavenly Book. They certainly don't trust me to come alone, so they will send others as well. Young Master, please be careful."

Thanks for reminding me!

"I'll start helping you detoxify!"

Chu Sheng slowly raised his arm, and a continuous stream of Nine Yang True Qi flowed into Gu Jingchen's body. The latter was completely unsettled. How could a young man have such terrifying internal strength?

He could clearly feel Chu Sheng helping him expel the poison, which was incredibly taxing on his internal energy, but his internal energy remained as vast and undiminished as ever.

Incredible.

One hour later.

Chu Sheng and Gu Jingchen walked out of the room. It was obvious that Gu Jingchen's aura had become stronger. He looked at Ye Yun, who was standing with her head down, and said, "Young Master, my unruly disciple overheard our conversation. In order to prevent me from being controlled by Da Qian, he took it upon himself to attack you. He is truly ignorant."

I hope you, sir, can spare her life.

Old Master Gu, now that you've joined the Zhenyuan Escort Agency, that girl is one of us. I won't lay a hand on her.

Thank you for giving her this opportunity, young master.

Gu Jingchen bowed deeply, then turned to look at Ye Yun, "Aren't you going to thank the young master for sparing your life?"

"Thank you!" Ye Yun said reluctantly, "Could you please release my pressure points?"

Chu Sheng casually waved his hand, and powerful true energy landed on Ye Yun, instantly releasing her pressure points.

Ye Yun hurried forward to Gu Jingchen's side. "Master, why did you join the Zhenyuan Escort Agency?"

Gu Jingchen's face darkened. "How dare you question your teacher's decisions!"
