Chapter 704: Maintain a Sense of Awe

~8 min read 1,406 words

Looking at Zhang Yan covered in blood and injuries, she could hardly believe she had done this herself. She hurriedly stood up: "Yanyan, I'm sorry, I, I didn't mean to harm you like this, I completely lost my reason."

"No, no, it's not your fault, this is my retribution." Zhang Yan hurriedly shook her head: "I'm truly sorry, I will treat you all well from now on."

"Young lady, it is my Zhang Yan who is in the wrong. We will definitely compensate you. If anything had really happened to you, we would have personally sent this girl to the police station," said Zhang Zheng.

"That's right, from now on we will absolutely not spoil her." Zhang Lao also spoke up, realizing he had been too indulgent toward Zhang Yan in the past: "Zhang Yan, from now on, close your livestream channel and study properly. If you dare to act like this again, I will drive you out of the Zhang Family."

"Grandfather, I understand, I will change in the future." Zhang Yan nodded obediently. After these successive events, she was truly terrified.

"Why don't you come over and thank Mr. Chen? Mr. Chen saved you twice," Zhang Peng said from the side, glaring at her.

"Mr. Chen, thank you. I didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth before; please don't hold it against me." Zhang Yan hurriedly thanked Chen Yu.

"There's no need for thanks, but I will remind you of one thing: regarding matters of ghosts and gods, one must always maintain a sense of awe. You don't have to believe, but you must not be disrespectful." Chen Yu took out a Brocade Pouch: "Your constitution is yin-dominant and your Eight Characters are on the lighter side, so you are naturally prone to seeing ghosts. You broke the previously consecrated Amulet; take this one to use for now."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen." Zhang Yan was overjoyed and hurriedly took the Amulet from Chen Yu's hand.

After giving Zhang Yan a few things to note, he left amidst the profuse thanks of the Zhang Family. Checking the time, it was already ten in the morning, and Chen Yu decided to go check on Tang Xue's condition.

It had been three days since she was burned by Tang Xue, and Chen Yu needed to check her condition and adjust her medication.

Although the Tang Clan was also one of the Six Great Noble Families, they had been dedicated to charity in recent years, so the performance of their parent company, White-robed Onmyoji Group, had declined severely. If this continued, being kicked out of the Six Great Noble Families was only a matter of time.

"Brother Chen, you're here." Chen Yu happened to run into Tang Xinyi, who had come to visit her sister, outside the ward. Seeing Chen Yu, she hurriedly ran over.

"I've come to check on Tang Xue's condition and adjust her medicine by the way. Are you off work?" Chen Yu smiled.

"Yes. Last time I was so worried about my sister that I didn't get a chance to thank you. Let's exchange contact information," Tang Xinyi smiled: "When I'm not busy later, I'll thank you properly."

"It's nothing, just a small favor." Chen Yu smiled, left his contact information, and the two went to the ward together.

When they saw Tang Xue, the bandages on her body had all been removed. The newly grown skin on her body was almost identical to her original skin tone; unless one looked closely, one couldn't tell the difference from before.

However, this was only the first stage of medication. Chen Yu would adjust the medicine later, which would ensure that Tang Xue's body and skin would recover exactly as they were before.

"Brother Chen, you're here." Tang Xue's hair was quite short. Previously, her hair had been burned away completely, and her scalp had also suffered large-area burns. However, thanks to Chen Yu's miraculous healing, in just three short days, her hair had already reached her earlobes, and in a few more days, she would have a full head of ear-length short hair.

Seeing Chen Yu, Tang Xue put down the book in her hand and ran toward him without even having time to put on her shoes. She gripped Chen Yu's hand tightly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Chen Yu, unable to look away.

"I've come to see you." Chen Yu smiled: "You need to rest well, don't run around barefoot."

"I, I saw you come, I'm very happy." Tang Xue's face was flushed, and she said excitedly: "Last time I was unconscious and didn't even have time to say thank you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have already passed on by now."

"It is because you and your sister are kind-hearted, and the Tang Clan is devoted to charity, so it is fated that you will have noble people to help you. Even if I hadn't come, there would have been others. Sit down first." Chen Yu helped her sit on the bed and then took her pulse.

"Your body is recovering well, but the medicine still needs to be taken internally. The fire last time injured your five viscera and six bowels, and your constitution is fire-dominant; if you don't recuperate properly, you will have big problems with your body in the future." Chen Yu said as he took out paper and pen, writing the prescription while speaking: "Have you been sweating frequently these past few days?"

"Yes, Brother Chen, I've been sweating very severely. When I wake up, the sheets and my clothes are all wet." Tang Xue looked at Chen Yu, her beautiful eyes full of smiles.

"This is due to Qi deficiency and excessive Yang. I will adjust the prescription, and it will be better soon." Chen Yu stopped his pen.

"I'll give it to the nurse and have them come back in a moment." Tang Xinyi took the prescription and went out to give it to the nurse outside the door.

"Brother Chen, are you living in Shengjing long-term?" Tang Xue asked, then she explained: "I don't mean anything else, I just want to chat with you and get to know you a bit better."

"Yes, living in Shengjing long-term. My hometown is in Fengling," Chen Yu said.

"Then we will be able to see each other often in the future." A glimmer of light in Tang Xue's eyes gradually widened: "Brother Chen, I will remember this life-saving grace for the rest of my life."

Tang Xue's tone was firm, and there was a distinct look in her eyes.

Every girl has a hero in her heart. Chen Yu had saved her from the Ghost Gate, and in her eyes, Chen Yu was her hero, and at the same time... her true Heavenly Child.

Tang Xue and Chen Yu had endless things to talk about, until Tang Xinyi returned from her errand and interrupted her: "It's almost noon, Xue'er, I'm taking Brother Chen to eat."

"Sister, I want to chat with Brother Chen." Tang Xue said somewhat reluctantly.

"Brother Chen needs to have time, too," Tang Xinyi said crossly: "You also need to rest."

"That's right, you also need to rest. I'll come to see you next time." Chen Yu stood up and said.

"Alright then, Brother Chen, when I'm better, I'll visit you to thank you properly," Tang Xue said with lingering reluctance.

"Good, get well soon." Chen Yu smiled slightly and walked out the door with Tang Xinyi.

"Brother Chen, I'm really sorry. She's been bored to death these past few days and finally found someone to talk to. Plus, you saved my sister, so she's very grateful to you. After she woke up, she asked a lot about you," Tang Xinyi said somewhat embarrassedly.

"It's fine, your sister has a very good personality and is very kind," Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"Let's go have a meal together. You've helped us so much and saved my sister; I don't know how to thank you," Tang Xinyi smiled.

"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony." Chen Yu nodded and smiled.

The two were talking as they went downstairs. Just as Tang Xinyi was about to go to the parking lot to get her car, a voice came over: "Xinyi, is your sister alright now?"

As the voice fell, a young man carrying a flower basket and followed by six bodyguards walked over.
