Death… and me

After listening to Chu Feilong, Ye Wubo frowned. One could almost scrape off a layer of frost from Ye Wubo's face.

"Chu Feilong, are you kidding me?" Ye Wubo looked at Chu Feilong ruthlessly with ghastly fires beaming in his eyes, saying, "You said… a child who had his cultivation abolished, hadn't been at home for 18 years, and didn't have any foothold in the clan, have become an obstruction of your plan? Do you think that I'm a fool?"

Chu Feilong sighed deeply and said helplessly, "Thirteenth master, I know you won't believe, but… the truth is so."

Ye Wubo frowned tightly, and the ghastly fire in his eyes started to flicker. After a long time, he then asked, "That kid… is your nephew? He's called Chu Yang?"

Chu Feilong nodded and said, "That kid is really… cunning. And he's merciless and refuses to recognize his relatives!"

Ye Wubo smiled wickedly, saying, "He had wandered outside for 18 years. So it's normal for him… to not recognize his relatives. I like this kind of person!"

Chu Feilong smiled bitterly.

"His teacher? His background?" Ye Wubo asked.

Chu Feilong shook his head, saying, "I don't know anything. But, from his looks, he wasn't taught by a reputable teacher; and when his cultivation was abolished, I don't see anyone standing up for him…"

These words were said with profound significance.

The corners of Ye Wubo's mouth curled up. Revealing a scornful look, he said, "Chu Feilong, I pinned great hopes on you. You must know that to be successful, one must not bother about trivial matters… Only by being merciless and decisive could one become a hero of the times."

Chu Feilong revealed a hateful look and said, "But I've now become the focus of the Chu clan, and… that kid was seemingly guarding against something and he was always by fourth brother's side… It's difficult to lay my hands now."

Ye Wubo snorted and the ghastly fire in his eyes flickered again. After groaning for a while, he said, "Old Third Ma, go to check on Chu Yang's background and see… how good he is. If you're convenient… kill him on the spot!"

Very obviously, he was suspicious of what Chu Feilong had said. But, while he was suspicious, he had to take a look at Chu Yang personally, and prevent Chu Feilong from being wronged. After all, Chu Feilong took a very important role in his plan.

And, among the four servants that he had brought here, Old Third Ma was the weakest in his cultivation; he was a third stage Martial Monarch. But he was witty, knew how to observe people, had a glib tongue, and resourceful. When they were out, with Old Third Ma's accompany, Ye Wubo basically had nothing to worry about. Old Third Ma was really an exceptional assistant.

But Chu Yang was only an ordinary person who had his cultivation wasted.

Old Third Ma would definitely capture the kid.

The thin and haggard Old Third Ma behind Ye Wubo agreed. He asked Chu Feilong about the appearance of Chu Yang in detail, and in the end, even asked Chu Feilong to draw him Chu Yang's portrait.

It must be admitted that Chu Feilong drew really well. The portrait almost resembled perfectly with Chu Yang's actual appearance, as if it could come to life.

After having two glances at the portrait, Old Third Ma revealed a sinister smile at the corners of his mouth. He rolled up the portrait and said confidently, "Thirteenth Master, don't worry!" With a big laugh, he turned around and flew off.

Chu Feilong was a bit worried and said, "Thirteenth master, that kid is very sly. And he somehow has some relations with Sha Xinliang from the Law-Enforcement Hall… It's a little unsafe to let Old Third Ma deal with this kid…"

The ghastly fire in Ye Wubo's eyes flickered. His fingers knocked softly on the table and he said softly, "I've come here this time around to watch over the South-East region. What I need are capable people! If Old Third Ma can't even deal with a person who had lost his cultivation… Then why would I keep him?"

As he said, Ye Wubo's sinister and chilly eyes swept past Chu Feilong's face, knowingly or unknowingly. The flames in his eyes flickered once.

Chu Feilong's heart shuddered and he dared not to talk.

These words were obviously a slap on his own face. Because he… didn't even settle a person who had lost his cultivation…

…

Chu Yang stayed for three whole days in the secret chamber. On the third day, he was cultivating the Thousand Phantom Technique.

After drinking large amounts of Vitality Spring Water, the damage on his meridians had more or less recovered; but he needed a reason for the restoration of his cultivation.

But Chu Yang didn't know what reason to fabricate. So, he simply used the Thousand Phantom Technique to cover up the aura of energy in himself.

With his current cultivation of a fourth stage Sword Sovereign, he cultivated the technique very quickly. Not in a day's time, he was already very flexible in using the technique and had already reached the third layer of this technique: Varying the aura of energy.

Although he couldn't vary the level of cultivation as he wished, he could already completely cover up the energy in his body.

Sha Xinliang and Qin Baoshan had been anxious for long. In these three days, the duo only had a feeling that they had been passing days like years!

In the end, these two Martial Monarchs couldn't help but start praying: Our medicines… must, must be refined successfully. They are our only hopes now…

Finally, the door moved. The duo hurriedly rushed forward.

Inside, heavy and slow footsteps sound reverberated. As if the person was using all his strength to walk.

Finally, the door was opened. The duo's hearts started palpitating, and they extended their necks to peer inside.

Chu Yang finally made his appearance.

The duo was shocked at the instant they saw Chu Yang, and they even couldn't help themselves but feel their hearts aching: The current Chu Yang was definitely 'unsightly'!

He had ragged clothes, pale face, blank eyes, messy hair, streaks of blood on the corners of his mouth and blood spots over his body. For every step that he walked, his two legs would twitch as if they had no bones at all…

He almost 'crawled' to the door!

The duo looked stunningly at Chu Yang and was speechless.

Seeing the duo, Chu Yang's eyes, which were utterly exhausted now, sparkled once, and he revealed a comforting smile. He muttered with a soft voice, "The medicine is… finally… finally… done…"

His body turned soft and was almost going to collapse.

Qin Baoshan quickly took a step forth and held Chu Yang in his arms. Then he called anxiously, "Little brother… Little brother…"

Chu Yang opened his 'blank' eyes 'feebly' and 'forcibly', then he said in a manner as though he was about to faint at any moment, "Quickly… quickly… quickly take out… the medicines… in my arms… Otherwise… If I pass out… I'll… I'll…"

Sha Xinliang hurriedly took out the three packets of medicines and held them tightly, while asking in a concerned manner, "Little brother, you've suffered so much for us… Are you alright…"

Chu Yang sank into a semi-coma state. His arms drooped down and he muttered, "We're… open and sincere with one another… For my two brothers… it's worth…"

After talking, he really 'fainted'.

The duo was moved to tears.

Such a good little brother! For the sake of themselves, he had put in so many efforts… He's so affectionate! He's so righteous! He cares so much about friendship! He…

The duo simply didn't know how to describe him. Holding Chu Yang carefully, they rushed into Sha Xinliang's bedroom and put him carefully on the bed. Chu Yang started snoring the moment they put him down.

"He's really tired…" Qin Baoshan exclaimed emotionally, "I really don't know how much pain did he suffer and how much efforts he took these few days. Looks like it was really not easy for him to refine these medicines…"

Sha Xinliang agreed and said, "I heard that thousands of years ago, pharmacists frequently died from refining medicines… I only know now that such a rumor was completely true."

Qin Baoshan nodded heavily.

Afterward, Sha Xinliang made a series of instructions for his subordinates to go to the best pharmacists and get the best and most nutritious medicines for Chu Yang…

Sha Xinliang's instructions instantly stirred up the entire Law Enforcement Hall!

…

It was already very late when Chu Yang 'slowly woke up'. As if he had recovered a lot, Chu Yang praised, "Which divine doctor had treated me? I thought I would have to lie here for many days… I didn't expect to recover so quickly…"

Then he said gratefully, "My two big brothers have definitely wasted a lot of efforts?"

Sha Xinliang and Qin Baoshan felt honored and guilty at the same time. They rubbed their hands and said, "As long as little brother is good, we ought to do whatever we can."

Chu Yang's eyes flashed as if he was pondering. He smiled, saying, "I'll remember your words."

The duo nodded.

Then without delay, he instructed the duo in detail on how to serve the medicines and what were their effects and also told them to find himself for treatment after they had those effects…

…

It was already the next morning when Chu Yang walked out of the Law Enforcement Hall.

Actually, the duo had completely recovered by midnight, and Qin Baoshan had abruptly increased his cultivation that was worth 20 years of his practice. His cultivation had finally broken through the bottleneck of the sixth stage Martial Monarch that had stayed with him for many years, and he had successfully advanced into a seventh stage Martial Monarch.

Even Chu Yang was taken aback by such advancements. Due to the great strength flowing incessantly within Qin Baoshan's meridians after he had broken through his bottleneck, his cultivation actually advanced by a fold.

Chu Yang also finally understood why advancements became more difficult for experts after they had cultivated to a certain level. Because at higher levels, one's energy had to double just to advance one stage. It was already an inconceivable matter that Chu Yang could have his cultivations advanced by so many stages in such a short time!

Qin Baoshan's face was awash with tears.

His chronic illness was eliminated, and his cultivation had advanced by a stage! Such a thing that he dared not even dream of had been realized by Chu Yang. At this moment, Qin Baoshan felt that it was worthy to do anything for his little brother!

Similar attitude went for Sha Xinliang, who had his illness cured. He attended upon Divine Doctor Chu as though he was attending upon an elder. Seeing that it was already late at night, Sha Xinliang wouldn't let go of Chu Yang and wanted to let him stay overnight. It was only till the next day dawn did he send Chu Yang out of the Law Enforcement Hall respectfully.

As Chu Yang walked and looked at clear dewdrops on the wild grass next to the path, he pondered deeply.

He had exploited these two people. These two people were really not considered good guys, but as he interacted deeper with them, he suddenly discovered a problem: Regardless of good guys or bad guys… many people had sentiments!

At least, the resilience as a martial practitioner, the splendidness as a human, the basic knowledge of returning favors…

Chu Yang didn't know what he was thinking as he pondered his way back home. He shook his head, smiled bitterly, and wanted to hasten his pace.

At this moment, his divine spirit suddenly shuddered. An extreme sense of danger made Chu Yang's hair stood up. He abruptly stopped walking and maintained his previous position of lowering his head to think…

But his divine sense cast out like a gigantic net.
