Imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel. Hearing Xu Maohaiâs words, Xiang Zuo did not make a move but instead fixed his gaze on Ye Luo and said, "Mr. Ye, I didnât know you were here earlier. This matter is a misunderstanding. Why donât we just let it go..."
"Considering Mr. Xiangâs face, we can let this matter go, but this guy must receive some punishment. Please, Mr. Xiang, disable this fellowâs limbs."
Ye Luo said nonchalantly.
Yet Ye Luoâs words caused Xiang Zuoâs face to change, and Xu Maohai shivered, his eyes revealing deep fear as he quickly spoke out, "Young Master Xiang, please donât..."
"Mr. Ye, donât you think this is a bit excessive? Mr. Xu is my friend. I hope we can let this matter drop."
Xiang Zuo looked at Ye Luo and said with a stern voice, his icy eyes flickering with a cold light.
"Sorry, but he is your friend, not mine. Since you donât want to do it, then Iâll do it myself."
No sooner had the words fallen, Ye Luo walked towards Xu Maohai, but just then, Xiang Zuo swiftly stepped in front of Ye Luo.
"Mr. Ye, I am speaking to you this way only because you cured Wen Yu. Please donât be too arrogant."
Xiang Zuoâs expression darkened, and his body exuded a chilling aura as he tapped into his Late Houtian Level strength.
"Actually, this is something I should be saying to you. If it werenât for Miss Wen Yuâs sake, I would have thrown you all out a long time ago, instead of wasting my time talking to you."
Ye Luoâs lips curled into a disdainful smile as he glanced at Xiang Zuo dismissively.
Suddenly, a cold and chill aura burst forth from Xiang Zuo, his right hand striking like lightning towards Ye Luo. His hand moved swiftly as a claw, with a fierce energy contained within, ripping through the void and creating a hissing sound.
"Be careful!"
Lin Xiaoyan and Du Huixian both couldnât help but exclaim, while Lin Tianhai sat in his wheelchair looking very composed, his eyes reflecting profound light.
Bang!
A muffled sound arose as Xiang Zuoâs claw hadnât even touched Ye Luoâs body when Ye Luo struck him. He was sent flying like heâd been hit hard, flying out of the room and landing in the hallway.
Then Ye Luo swiftly threw the group out one after another, leaving Xu Maohai last, neatly disabling his limbs and discarding him like a dead dog.
With a bang, the security door closed again, and Ye Luo sighed, "All right, itâs quiet now. Uncle, aunt, letâs continue our meal."
Witnessing Ye Luoâs formidable strength, Lin Tianhai smiled faintly. As for Du Huixian, her eyes sparkled with admiration and surprise as she looked at Ye Luo. Lin Xiaoyanâs admiration for Ye Luo deepened once more.
"Little Ye, I didnât expect you to be not only skilled in medicine but also in martial arts."
Linâs mother said to Ye Luo with a smile.
"I learned a few self-defense moves from my master in the past."
Ye Luo simply replied, and Linâs mother and Lin Tianhai exchanged glances, their eyes revealing a touch of surprise.
Outside the residential building, Xiang Zuo, clutching his chest, walked out, pale-faced, his eyes glinting with coldness like a hawkâs, his fist clenched tightly, nails digging deep into his palm, his whole body seemingly emanating a terrifying aura.
"Ye... Luo..."
Xiang Zuo ground out through clenched teeth, his tone filled with cold menace, giving one the chills.
After finishing the meal at the Lin Family, Ye Luo began helping Lin Tianhai activate the dead cells in his other leg, followed by applying a unique set of massage techniques.
It made the blood in his legs circulate thoroughly, restoring sensation completely. The withered legs also returned to their original state, and now only one last step remained: reconnecting the leg meridians. Then, Lin Tianhai would truly be able to stand up.
However, because the task of reconnecting meridians was immense and not too simple, Ye Luo was prepared to wait until the next day to help with the recovery.
Having been confined to a wheelchair for over a decade, Lin Tianhai naturally did not mind waiting another day.
"Mom, Iâll escort Brother Ye Luo out!"
Lin Xiaoyan said to Du Huixian and then escorted Ye Luo out.
Meanwhile, Du Huixian sat in front of Lin Tianhai, looking at him as she started to speak, "What do you think Ye Luoâs identity is?"
"Iâm not sure, but the way he effortlessly sent a Late Houtian Level martial artist flying before proves his formidable strength. Plus, he has such powerful medical skills, Iâm afraid heâs no ordinary person from this secular world."
Lin Tianhaiâs eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke in a calm tone.
"Could he be from that place? He wonât pose a danger to us and Xiaoyan, will he?"
With a hint of worry in her eyes, Du Huixian spoke, her expression somewhat anxious.
"No, his gaze is clear and bright, he definitely wonât pose any danger to us. As for whether heâs from that place, I canât be certain, maybe yes, maybe no. I never expected that in my lifetime I would have the chance to stand up again," Lin Tianhai said, his deep eyes shifting as he sighed.
"Yes, perhaps it is heavenâs pity on us. After this, you wonât need to continue staying in this wheelchair. If it werenât for these past years you spent in this wheelchair, perhaps by now your strength would have already stepped into the Saint Realm."
Regret filled Du Huixianâs face.
Lin Tianhai smiled faintly, his hand tightly gripping Du Huixianâs small hand, saying, "Having you and Xiaoyan by my side is already enough for me. As for the Saint Realm or not, I donât care at all. I just want to spend the second half of my life with you and our daughter."
Elsewhere, Lin Xiaoyan accompanied Ye Luo to the residential building. It was already past eight oâclock, and the holy moonlight poured down, enveloping the land of Zhonghai.
"Xiaoyan, you can go up. Thereâs no need to see me off."
Ye Luo said, looking at Lin Xiaoyan.
Lin Xiaoyanâs small, fair hands were interlocked, her expression complex, her eyes looking at Ye Luo with hesitation.
"Xiaoyan, whatâs wrong? Is there something on your mind?"
Ye Luo looked at Lin Xiaoyan, curious and puzzled.
A few seconds later, Lin Xiaoyan walked up to Ye Luo, her delicate and beautiful face slightly flushed, her bright, large eyes blinking their long lashes.
"Brother Ye Luo, thank you!"
"What are you thanking me for?"
"Thank you for giving my dad the hope to stand up again, and thank you for standing up for me today. Although weâve only known each other for two days, you have done so much for me, I really donât know how to repay you."
Lin Xiaoyanâs sincere expression was fixed on Ye Luo.
"Donât be so formal, Iâm always happy to help a beauty."
Ye Luo smiled lazily, then added, "Of course, if you really want to repay me, why not repay me with your body? How about it?"
"Brother Ye Luo, youâre so naughty!"
