| The Paternity Guard (PATERNITY) |

The appearance of the white-haired youth surprised a few people but they quickly realized that Master Zou did not specifically instruct them about Gu Weijing’s age and appearance, so they automatically thought that it must be a senior of similar age to him. But there’s no rule stating that reclusive seniors must live alone.
Xing Beiming completely ignored the youth’s cold gaze and stepped forward while saying, “I’ve come to request an audience with Master Gu, please inform him.”
The white-haired youth’s expression remained unchanged and he responded with the expected refusal, “Master has already retired from the Jianghu and will not treat anyone anymore. Please leave.”
Ignoring the cold response, Ke Weiqing finally encountered someone who could match the icy demeanor of Xing Beiming. He couldn’t help but feel some interest in this youth. Stepping forward with a smile, he said, “Little brother, we were introduced by Master Zou and we have a letter from him. Shouldn’t we ask your Master first?”
After staring coldly at them for a moment, the youth took the letter handed by Ke Weiqing and walked away after saying, “Please wait here. I’ll go ask Master.”
Watching the youth disappear into the woods, Ke Weiqing expressed his admiration, “He looks like a fairy. Do you think Gu Weijing is actually a fairy? Only a fairy could raise such a disciple.”
This earned him Xing Beiming’s disdainful glance.
Shortly after, the youth returned still cold, but bringing good news. “Just follow me as there’s a mechanism in the woods.”
It seemed this child was not bad. Perhaps he only came out to stop innocent people from triggering the mechanism.
Gu Weijing’s residence was a simple farmhouse courtyard but it was tidy. Instead of medicinal herbs, vegetables were grown in the courtyard. The lush green of the radishes was pleasing to the eye. The renowned physician, Gu Weijing, was casually picking something in front of the fence with Master Zou’s letter placed aside. Upon seeing them, he just glanced casually until his gaze landed on Shi Qi and his expression suddenly changed. After examining him closely, he hurriedly stood up and grabbed Shi Qi’s hand to drag him into the house.
Shi Qi reflexively wanted to use his internal energy to shake off Gu Weijing’s hand but suddenly remembered the purpose of this visit, so he endured it.
However, Xing Beiming intercepted Gu Weijing’s action and questioned angrily, “What are you doing?”
“If you still want the child in his belly then release him immediately!” With sharp phoenix eyes on his ageless and beautiful face, Gu Weijing made Xing Beiming subconsciously let go. He wanted to follow them into the house but the door slammed shut in front of him!
“Si Fang, don’t let anyone in.”
Xing Beiming clenched his fists tighter and tighter, almost breaking through the door with a palm strike. Ke Weiqing sighed admiringly, “Gu Weijing’s temper is really fiery, not at all like someone around forty years old. A physician like him must have good self-care! Hey, little brother, does your Master get particularly excited when it comes to medical matters?”
The white-clad youth ignored him and only guarded the door, not letting them in. Ke Weiqing persisted, “Your name is Si Fang, quite strange. Did your Master give you that name?”
Finally, when Xing Beiming couldn’t resist breaking in, the door opened. Xing Beiming quickly stepped inside and inside, Gu Weijing was glaring at him, while Shi Qi sat aside while pale.
Having a favor to ask, Xing Beiming suppressed his emotions and asked, “How is he?”
Gu Weijing erupted in anger, “How dare you, his lover, let him travel knowing he’s pregnant? Not only did you get him covered in injuries but he’s also poisoned! If you don’t want this child, you should say it now. It’s safer to remove it earlier, rather than risking both the child’s and the adult’s lives!”
Xing Beiming frowned, growling, “I never wanted to not have this child!”
Shi Qi stood up while anxious, “Master…” He had never seen his Master with such a terrible complexion.
Gu Weijing’s expression eased slightly, “Enough. Shi Qi has explained everything to me just now. I can see you value him by bringing him to me. If it weren’t for me, whether he could safely deliver the child would still be uncertain, especially with those inexperienced doctors. Moreover, he’s poisoned with two types.”
“Two types?” Xing Beiming and Ke Weiqing’s expressions changed drastically.
“Yes, one is the poison from the people you encountered and the other is something I’ve never seen before. However, these two poisons coincided. As they say, fight poison with poison. So, he’s not in great danger now. But if we don’t remove all the poison, it won’t be good for him, although it won’t harm him much. However, the child might not be as lucky.”
“Master,” Shi Qi pleaded urgently, “You must find a solution. This child must be safe!”
“Of course!” Gu Weijing glared at him displeasedly. “There’s no disease in this world that I, Gu Weijing, can’t cure and no poison I can’t neutralize. Rest these days and let me adjust your body.”
Ke Weiqing, for once, looked at Shi Qi in a different light.
Has this wooden block finally become insightful?
As for Xing Beiming, his gloomy mood of recent days finally lifted a little and he even started drying herbs without complaints.
Yes, as part of their stay here, Xing Beiming and Ke Weiqing had to do some farm work, taking over all the chores that Gu Weijing and Si Fang used to do every day.
While chopping wood outside, Ke Weiqing sighed to the sky, “I’m the most unlucky and aggrieved one!”
Even though Shi Qi was feeling guilty and wanted to help, but he was ordered by Gu Weijing to stay on the sun lounger and bask in the sun. The warm silk quilt brought by the Shadow Guards was wrapped around him but his gaze never left the person who was earnestly listening to Gu Weijing’s explanations and handling herbs.
It seemed a bit foolish.
Gu Weijing noticed it and snorted, “What’s there to pity? Did you ever think about pitying yourself when someone did you wrong?!”
Hmm?
Shi Qi gave him a puzzled look, clearly not understanding. Gu Weijing gritted his teeth.
This fool was so clueless, no wonder he ended up giving birth to someone else’s child!
In the evening, Gu Weijing stopped Xing Beiming, who was about to enter the house and secretly handed him a box while whispering, “From today onwards, let him use this. Ideally, don’t take it off unless necessary.”
Xing Beiming was surprised and was about to open it when Gu Weijing forcefully closed it shut. Looking around and seeing Si Fang wasn’t there, he pulled him into the shadows, “What are you looking at? It’s just that thing, same as what you usually do. Do it more and it’ll loosen up. When it’s time for him to give birth, it won’t be so painful. Um… If he feels uncomfortable, then he doesn’t have to use it often. Using fingers is just as good, so…”
“Doing that… using fingers…” Xing Beiming’s mind was filled with these words flying around.
When he realized what they meant, his whole body heated up.
What should he say? Should he say that they hadn’t actually done it before?
Neither of them couldn’t even remember the first time.
Xing Beiming couldn’t help but think of that woman named Bai something and wished he could strangle her again.
Gu Weijing noticed his odd expression and thought he was thinking about those sensual matters, so he scolded disdainfully, “Although engaging in some intimate activities is beneficial for his body, but it’s still important to remember not to exert too much force and not to press on his stomach while doing it.”
Discussing intimate matters with a man felt strange, even though he was a physician and it was just routine advice.
Xing Beiming entered the room with a bewildered expression while holding the box. He saw the person sitting on the bed looking towards the door and quickly approached, placing the box on the bed, “Why aren’t you lying down?”
Shi Qi’s eyes were fixed on the box, “I thought something was wrong when I heard you and Master Gu talking outside. What’s inside this box?”
A strange light flashed in Xing Beiming’s eyes as he pretended to be nonchalant, “Master Gu asked me to give it to you.”
“For me?” Shi Qi took the box and thought that it was just ordinary medicine or something, but his face instantly turned red when he was inside.
Inside the box were a lifelike jade object (dildo).
Even without much experience, he knew what these things were used for. And now, they were meant for him?
“Master Gu said it’s best to use it every day, so it won’t be painful when you give birth.” Xing Beiming leaned close to Shi Qi’s ear with his voice low and malicious to repeat what Gu Weijing had told him.
His fingers brushed over the protruding abdomen which sent a shiver down Shi Qi’s spine, “He also said that if you’re not comfortable, he wants me to use my fingers instead.” His nimble fingers lingered on the abdomen for a moment before sliding towards the hidden seam between Shi Qi’s legs.
“To help you.” The last two words were accompanied by a hot breath blowing into Shi Qi’s ear
