1924 Treatment 1
Duan Feng and the others at Haitian Auction House were highly skilled, but they were unable to solve the problem. Despite receiving numerous pills from Haitian over the past few years, none of them had the ability to cure his master.
Some of the pills would even worsen his masterâs condition. Gradually, his master lost interest in trying them, and the matter was dropped altogether.
However, he never asked anyone to investigate further.
BecauseâŠ
The person behind Haitian Auction House was not a magical practitioner, and he was severely injured. This fact could not be revealed. If it became known, Haitianâs reputation would suffer greatly. It would be tarnished beyond repair.
And so, for these past few yearsâŠ
That was how his master had been living.
But thanks to his masterâs promise, nothing had changed.
At least, thatâs what Lady Chaoyan had said.
Duan Feng wasnât worried either.
For one thing, Lady Chaoyan didnât possess magical abilities, so she wouldnât be aware if his master did. Moreover, Lady Chaoyanâs pills were already exceptional, on par with those from Haitian Auction House. She didnât need to control the auction house.
For some reason, Duan Feng had an instinctive belief that Lady Chaoyan would undoubtedly cure his master before completing the treatment.
It was a subconscious trust.
After the delivery was finished, Duan Feng bid farewell to Gu Chaoyan and the others. The masked man didnât come out; he retreated back to the upper floor.
He rarely left his seclusion and spent most of his time alone upstairs. Fortunately, there was plenty of work to be done within Haitian, which occupied much of his time. Days passed by swiftly, and after more than a decade, it seemed that he hadnât faced too many difficulties.
As Duan Feng was leaving with his men, he instinctively made a move to step outside. However, in that fleeting moment, he snapped back to reality and hastily returned to the upper floor.
His heart had remained dormant for so long that he had grown numb to it.
Even if someone extraordinary barged in, he didnât want anything to change.
The next dayâŠ
He rose early in the morning and settled downstairs. He didnât particularly enjoy tea or have any preferences whatsoever. So, even though he was waiting there, he remained idle.
Noting that it was still early, Duan Feng was about to remind his master when he stopped himself.
It was a rare sight to see his master with a hint of expression on his face, and Duan Feng didnât want to disrupt his masterâs current state of happiness.
Gu Chaoyan arrived promptly, just as she had promised the day before.
She handed something to Duan Feng with a smile, instructing him to bring it to his master. âJust drink it directly. Iâve also prepared some more. You can have some in a couple of days, and youâll get better.â
âMiss Chaoyan, youâve been working hard. Your eyes appear swollen. Could it be because of the pills?â Duan Feng inquired as he observed Gu Chaoyan.
In the past, Duan Feng wouldnât have spoken so much.
But today was different.
He understood why his master was so elated, and he was willing to contribute more.
