Chapter 823: Seeing the Light Again

"The purpose is to control you one day in the future. When your Life Appearance reaches completion, you will inevitably become an emperor. You will hold the great trends of the world in the palm of your hand, and since he is the master behind the scenes, it is equivalent to saying that the person who controls the world is him."

Xu Lao let out a long sigh and said, "But who exactly possesses such heaven-defying ability, capable of defying the heavens and changing fate, to cultivate a person into the Life Appearance of the Ziwei Emperor Star?"

Chen Yu inserted the final needle. He clenched his fists tightly; today, he finally understood why Chen Tianming had gone to such great lengths to manipulate his fate.

So he possessed the ambition to control the world. Heh, what a pity; he probably never expected that after his rebirth, he would have other fortuitous encounters. He is destined to be disappointed.

Heh, old man, if we meet one day, I must have a good talk with you about life and ideals.

"Xu Lao was born with heterochromatic eyes, capable of seeing a person's past and future, and capable of peeking into a person's Karma and Life Appearance. But because of this, you leaked too much of the Heavenly Mystery, which is why you became blind."

Chen Yu said, "I have now restored your vision, but from now on, Xu Lao must remember clearly: never leak too much of the Heavenly Mystery."

After Chen Yu finished speaking, he began to remove the needles. The dozens of Silver Needles on Xu Lao were removed one by one by Chen Yu, and then Chen Yu took out a verdant leaf.

This leaf was the size of a walnut and shaped like a heart. The leaf was entirely verdant, and a faint green glow radiated from it. This was a Yuan-grade medicine, named: "Tianxin Leaf."

This kind of leaf can clear the heart and brighten the eyes, allowing blind eyes to see the light again. Xu Lao's condition was a blindness caused by leaking too much of the Heavenly Mystery, so using this leaf was truly the best choice.

Chen Yu held the leaf and brushed it lightly over Xu Lao's eyes. The leaf turned into countless green specks of light and then vanished between Xu Lao's eyes.

Xu Lao's hollow eyes suddenly gained luster in that instant.

The places his eyes saw changed from a patch of darkness to a blur, from a blur to some shadows, and then the light in this world was restored once more. Finally, the original colors of this world appeared before his eyes.

"I... can see? I can finally see again?" Xu Lao's expression was agitated.

He was originally the Pavilion Master of the Dragon Breath Five Elements Pavilion, and his mastery of arts was profound; he was a true master living apart from the world. Having cultivated for over fifty years, he had long since developed a state of mind unmoved by honor or disgrace.

But his eyes had been blind for thirty years. Although he had been able to walk through the world like a normal person for these thirty years by relying on his extraordinary Spirit Sense and perception, the darkness before his eyes still left him helpless.

But because he had leaked too much of the Heavenly Mystery in the previous decades, his blindness was a Heavenly Punishment bestowed by the heavens. Regarding this, he was also helpless and believed he could only be content with his current situation.

But he never dreamed that he would actually be able to see the light again. To him, this was simply a gift.

"Mr. Chen, for being able to help me see the light again, this old man is deeply grateful." Xu Lao cupped his hands and bowed deeply to Chen Yu: "I never expected Mr. Chen to have such profound mysterious arts and such powerful Medicine. If Mr. Chen could join my Five Elements Pavilion, it would be the fortune of my pavilion."

"Xu Lao, joining the Five Elements Pavilion is out of the question; I cannot stand being bound by so many rules and regulations." Chen Yu smiled and said: "Dragon Breath is a special department of Huaxia. If the Five Elements Pavilion needs any help in the future, just call me."

"Then thank you, Mr. Chen. It is truly a pity that you won't come." Xu Lao sighed slightly, feeling some regret.

"Old Xu, where are your glasses?" When Xu Lao walked out, Zhou Lao saw that his eyes were bright and spirited, and the sunglasses he had worn for years were gone. He could not help but be startled.

"Heh heh, I used to leak too much of the Heavenly Mystery, which led to my blindness, and my eyes were chaotic. I was afraid of scaring people, so I wore sunglasses. However, Mr. Chen just performed Acupuncture and administered medicine to cure my eyes. From now on, I will never need to wear sunglasses to appear in public again." Xu Lao laughed.

"That is truly great. You have been a blind man since I first met you. Haha, from now on, you can properly look at this world." Zhou Lao laughed heartily: "It seems this meal I invited little Chen to was truly worth it. Alright, waiter, serve the dishes."

"Chen Yu, the guy you reported over the phone today has already been brought to justice. He committed a serious crime and will receive at least a life sentence." After the meal, Zhou Xinyan drove Chen Yu back and said to him on the way.

"Oh, that's actually letting him off a bit easy." Chen Yu said.

"But when we arrived, we discovered he had taken an excessive amount of potent aphrodisiac. You didn't do this, did you?" Zhou Xinyan asked Chen Yu.

"Of course not, I am a law-abiding citizen." Chen Yu looked innocent: "That guy was confused and took an excessive amount of medicine himself; this has nothing to do with me."

"I don't believe a single punctuation mark of what you say." Zhou Xinyan could not help but glare at Chen Yu, then continued driving.

"Actually, as a police officer, it is fine for you to uphold justice, but justice cannot always receive a fair trial." Chen Yu smiled faintly: "I do some things that I feel are within my power, and this is harmless."

"But what you are doing is illegal." Zhou Xinyan shook her head and said: "Although I know that sometimes not everything in this world is fair and just, I have no way to change it."

"I am a police officer; my duty is to bring those people to justice. As for the rest, I can only do my best."

"Not everything in this world has fairness to speak of." Chen Yu smiled faintly: "You catch your criminals, I carry out my justice; the two of us do not interfere with each other."

Zhou Xinyan drove in silence. Suddenly, she glanced at Chen Yu: "I have a question I want to ask you."

"What question?" Chen Yu asked.

"Last time... the time we encountered that snake." Zhou Xinyan's face flushed bright red. She gritted her teeth and finally asked the doubt in her heart: "I was so proactive, yet you knocked me unconscious with one palm."

"This... it was an emergency. I didn't knock you unconscious on purpose. That snake venom was extremely potent; I could only knock you unconscious to save you." Chen Yu was stunned and said somewhat awkwardly.

"That's not what I'm asking." Zhou Xinyan said through gritted teeth: "What I want to ask is, I was so proactive at the time, didn't you feel anything at all? I want to know why."

"You..." Chen Yu was left between laughter and tears. How was he supposed to answer this question? Zhou Xinyan's implication was: you aren't moved by a woman, are you even a man?

"Tell me, why?" Zhou Xinyan asked through gritted teeth.
