Chapter 780: Exchange

"Dad, you can't do this, Dad. Jingye is your son," Zhao Mei'e cried. "Lianxin, I know this isn't fair to you, but your older brother is a man. You losing one arm to trade for his two legs—no matter how you calculate it, it's a bargain."

"All these years, our Liu Family has never treated you as an outsider. I beg you, think of a way to save your older brother."

Zhao Mei'e's wailing made Liu Lianxin feel somewhat disheartened. No matter how much these people kept saying she was a member of the Liu Family, when a real crisis hit, she was the first one to be abandoned.

So be it. Severing an arm to use her supreme Green Lotus Jade Bone to reattach Liu Jingye's legs would be considered repaying the Liu Family for their years of raising her. From this moment on, she would no longer owe the Liu Family anything.

She curled her hand, and a Green Lotus slowly emerged. The temperature in the room dropped sharply. As Liu Lianxin moved her right hand slightly, the Green Lotus condensed into a sharp blade, hovering above her arm.

She gritted her teeth and guided her hand; the blade in mid-air was about to fall. With the Green Lotus Jade Bone, an ordinary blade could not possibly harm her, so only her own Green Lotus could hurt her.

Just at this moment, a figure flashed into the room. His form turned into a blur, and he pulled Liu Lianxin away in one motion.

The sharp blade in mid-air fell at that instant. With a *crack*, a deep fissure appeared on the floor where Liu Lianxin had just been standing.

This fissure was extremely deep, even exposing the steel reinforcement bars underneath. Liu Lianxin was startled. She looked back and discovered that the person who had pulled her away was Chen Yu.

"The Green Lotus Jade Bone is a heaven-sent Immortal body. It doesn't matter if you sever your own arm, but you would be severing all the Karma of your entire life," Chen Yu said. "You aren't just giving up your arm; you are throwing away your very Life."

"Chen Yu, what are you doing here?" The few people in the room were furious at once. Although they had never met Chen Yu, his file had long been placed on their desks. They had not expected Chen Yu to appear here now.

"What are you doing?" Liu Lianxin broke free from Chen Yu. The Green Lotus floated beside her, and she watched Chen Yu vigilantly.

"Don't worry, I didn't come here to kill anyone," Chen Yu said with a smile. "Let's make a deal."

"What deal?" Liu Lianxin looked at Chen Yu, puzzled.

She remembered clearly the situation last time when she saved Liu Jingye from Chen Yu's hands.

He had said, "From now on, we are enemies." This sentence had pierced Liu Lianxin's chest like a knife, and she still hadn't recovered from it.

"I will save Liu Jingye and restore his legs to their original state. You help me save someone. How about that?" Chen Yu said.

"You found Yu Sichen?" Liu Lianxin was quick-witted and immediately knew who Chen Yu wanted her to save.

"Yes, I found her," Chen Yu nodded. "But her consciousness is being controlled. I think with your supreme Buddhist Dharma, you should be able to save her."

"I cannot save her, only suppress it," Liu Lianxin shook her head and said. "I have seen the people she turned into puppets. The thing occupying her body should be a very dark and filthy entity. It feeds on human Seven Emotions and accumulates Resentment. Therefore, I can only suppress its consciousness, but not expel it."

"Is there no other way?" Chen Yu's brows furrowed slightly. He had known this might be the result when he came, but hearing Liu Lianxin say it, he still felt a little disappointed.

"But I can suppress that thing's consciousness and seal it with the Green Lotus Dharma Seal. Unless it encounters a major catastrophe, that thing's consciousness will never be able to break free from its shackles," Liu Lianxin said.

"That will do. I save Liu Jingye, you save Yu Sichen. What do you think?" Chen Yu said. "Your older brother's legs were also caused by Yu Sichen. After this matter, we will owe each other nothing, and our grudges will be wiped clean."

"Who wants to wipe the slate clean with you? Do you think our Liu Family is afraid of you?" Liu Qinghai said angrily. "Si Chen, take him down."

"If you want to take me down, you'll have to see if you have the strength to do it," Chen Yu sneered, looking coldly at Liu Qinghai.

The moment Chen Yu looked at Liu Qinghai, Liu Qinghai felt a buzzing sound in his mind. He couldn't help but take a few steps back, his face deathly pale, and large beads of cold sweat rolled down his forehead.

"Shut up." Liu Zhangshun reacted faster. He stepped forward and said, "Chen Yu, we agree. As long as you cure Jingye, the grudges between us will be wiped clean from now on."

"Old Liu is still the one who understands reason," Chen Yu smiled. He walked up to Liu Jingye.

"Chen Yu, don't think I'll be grateful to you for this," Liu Jingye gritted his teeth and looked at Chen Yu. "If I have the chance, I still won't let you off."

"And don't think that just because I saved you, you can provoke me without limit next time," Chen Yu sneered. "I can save you and pull you ashore, and I can just as easily cast you back into Hell. And next time, it won't be as simple as just breaking two legs."

Liu Jingye closed his eyes and said nothing more. He was in pain.

But he was unwilling to show his painful side in front of Chen Yu. If it weren't for Chen Yu, he wouldn't have ended up like this. He swore that if he had the chance, he would tear Chen Yu into ten thousand pieces.

Chen Yu took out his needles, made Liu Jingye fall into a deep sleep, and then began to set Liu Jingye's bones.

Chen Yu had been ruthless last time; the guy's knees were shattered, and Chen Yu had also channeled a trace of Original Power into them, making the guy endure that kind of pain every single moment.

Therefore, it was quite troublesome to treat, but fortunately, after half an hour of work, he had reattached the guy's broken bones.

"Rest for half a month, and he will recover like a normal person," Chen Yu said. "The wound must not touch water for half a month. Change the medicine I prescribed every three days."

"My task is done. What about yours?" Chen Yu turned his head and looked at Liu Lianxin.

"Let's go." Liu Lianxin took one last look at Liu Jingye and walked out with Chen Yu.

After Chen Yu left, Liu Zhangshun and the others in the room finally breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Qinghai said hatefully, "This brat is too arrogant. Our Liu Family has never encountered someone so arrogant before."

"The reason he is arrogant is because he has the strength to be arrogant," Liu Zhangshun said coldly. "Do you really think Dharma Cultivators are pushovers?"

"But I can't swallow this anger," Liu Qinghai gritted his teeth. "Sooner or later, I will kill him."

"Thank you," Liu Lianxin said softly to Chen Yu after they stepped outside.

"Why thank me?" Chen Yu said indifferently. "I have a request of you myself."

"You have a request of me, but if it weren't for you, I would have severed my own arm. As you said, my Green Lotus Jade Bone is a heaven-sent treasure. If I damage it myself, that is an act of disrespect. What I would have severed was not my arm, but my own Karma," Liu Lianxin said quietly. "The people of the Liu Family are my family, but they never care about what happens to my Karma. They only care about whether their son's legs can be cured."
