A moment later, the other principal figures of the Mu family departed.
In the hospital, only Mu Jianling, Qin Hanchu, and eight guards remained.
After the guards left the ward, Qin Hanchu said, "Chairman Mu has miraculously survived, but the opponent is likely to make another move. You must be careful."
Mu Jianling nodded, "Yes, but we still don't know who the opponent is!"
"They will eventually reveal themselves," Qin Hanchu replied.
"I'll have someone drive you back. We still have a long wait ahead!"
Qin Hanchu nodded, "Then I'll be going. I can't be of much help here."
"I'm already very grateful that you could stay this long," Mu Jianling said sincerely.
After bidding farewell to Mu Jianling, Qin Hanchu left the hospital under the protection of the Mu family guards.
"Pull over by the roadside, I want to take a walk."
Looking at the scenery outside the window, Qin Hanchu said to the driver.
"I have other things to do, no time to go shopping with you."
Although Qin Hanchu was Mu Jianling's "friend," the Mu family guards did not hold "Ye Jiangliu" in high regard.
Even though Ye Jiangliu was no longer a fool, in the eyes of martial artists, Ye Jiangliu without martial arts was no different from "trash."
Mu Jianling had only asked him to send Qin Hanchu home, not to protect him continuously.
Was it not a waste of his time for Qin Hanchu to go for a walk?
"You don't need to follow, just drop me off and leave."
"Whatever happens is none of your concern."
In this world, no one could threaten Qin Hanchu, so he was absolutely safe.
Any danger that could threaten Qin Hanchu was not something a seventh-grade guard could obstruct.
Seeing Qin Hanchu say this, the guard promptly pulled over.
He truly didn't want to waste time on Qin Hanchu.
After Qin Hanchu got out of the car, the guard immediately drove away.
With nothing else to do, Qin Hanchu strolled along the roadside.
If Ah Xiang and Baili Cai Xia were not in seclusion, Qin Hanchu would have definitely called them out to have some fun together.
Following the roadside, Qin Hanchu walked into a park.
The greenery and design of this park were excellent.
Walking through it felt very relaxing.
As he walked, Qin Hanchu let out a soft exclamation.
Directly in front of him, an old man was strolling towards him.
This old man looked to be only in his sixties, but his actual age was over a hundred.
Qin Hanchu was surprised primarily because this old man's strength had reached the peak of the Grandmaster realm.
He was just a step away from entering the Martial King realm.
In this world, such strength was enough to be peerless.
This person was definitely someone of great renown.
However, it was a pity that the old man's vitality had begun to wane.
If he could not make further progress in martial arts, what awaited him was death from old age.
The old man sensed Qin Hanchu's gaze and smiled, "Young friend, why are you looking at me like that?"
Qin Hanchu pondered for a moment, a smile appearing on his lips, "Shall we sit down and talk?"
The old man was slightly surprised but quickly smiled and nodded, "Certainly."
The two walked together to a nearby pavilion and sat down.
The old man asked, puzzled, "What would you like to talk about, young friend?"
"Old sir, how long have you been at the peak of the Grandmaster realm?" Qin Hanchu asked with a smile.
Hearing this, the old man's expression changed drastically, "How do you know my martial arts realm? Do you know me?"
Qin Hanchu shook his head, "No, but I can see through your condition."
"That's impossible, unless your realm is even higher than mine!"
"Young friend, don't try such deceptive tactics on me."
"Deceiving a Grandmaster, are you tired of living?"
The old man's eyes held a hint of disdain.
He believed Qin Hanchu must have known about him beforehand.
Qin Hanchu smiled, "How about I tell you a secret that no one else knows, only you?"
The old man looked at Qin Hanchu in surprise, "For example?"
"For example, the circulation path of your internal energy cultivation!" Qin Hanchu said without further ado, directly reciting the old man's internal energy cultivation method.
As Qin Hanchu recited it, the old man's eyes were filled with astonishment!
This internal energy cultivation method had been passed down through his family for generations, and only true direct descendants knew it.
How did the young man before him know it?
Could he truly see through him?
How was this possible?
"You... how do you know?" the old man exclaimed.
Qin Hanchu smiled, "If you still cannot break through, you only have three years left to live."
"What do you mean? Can you help me?"
The old man was shocked again!
As his martial arts grew stronger, a martial artist had a certain understanding of his own body.
Although he didn't know how long he had left to live, the old man knew his time was short.
In the eyes of outsiders, he was still robust and powerful, but he knew he was at the end of his strength.
Qin Hanchu not only knew his internal energy cultivation method but also knew he was nearing his end, indicating Qin Hanchu was a person of great ability.
"Helping you is not impossible, but what can you give me?"
The old man's heart trembled!
Qin Hanchu's words had implicitly confirmed that he could help the old man achieve a breakthrough.
Seeing this, the old man endured his inner excitement, "As long as you can help me break through, I, the Chen family of Yandu, are willing to pledge allegiance to you!"
If Qin Hanchu could truly help a peak Grandmaster advance, such a powerhouse would absolutely be worthy of the Chen family's submission.
In this world, there were only three Martial Kings!
If he could advance to Martial King, his Chen family would reach a higher level.
Despite his inner shock, Old Man Chen still harbored some doubt.
Could Qin Hanchu, being so young, truly help a peak Grandmaster advance?
He had never heard of such miraculous methods in this world, and for them to be in the hands of a youth.
Qin Hanchu: "Raise your right hand!"
The old man, with a hint of suspicion, raised his right hand.
Under his astonished gaze, Qin Hanchu suddenly condensed an ice needle in his hand.
This scene shocked the old man.
Elemental power, this was a technique only possessed by those in the Martial King realm.
He could hardly believe that the young man before him was a Martial King!
Which of the three Martial Kings in this world was not an old man over a hundred years old? When did such a young Martial King appear?
Could there be stronger individuals in this world that they were unaware of?
While the old man was in shock, Qin Hanchu's ice needle had already pierced the old man's right hand, followed by a cool force entering the old man's body.
Under this force, the old man felt comfort throughout his body.
At this very moment, his body suddenly let out a booming sound.
Immediately after, a powerful surge of energy spread outwards.
However, with Qin Hanchu's intervention, before the surge of energy could spread, it vanished without a trace.
There were other people in this park, and Qin Hanchu did not wish to attract attention.
The old man looked at Qin Hanchu in shock, feeling as if he were dreaming!
The realm he had desperately sought was so easily elevated by Qin Hanchu?
This method was definitely not something an ordinary Martial King could achieve!
