Chapter 898: Reason

Furthermore, after the Zhou Family was destroyed, those who had the ability to contend with Pei Yuan over these past few years have all inexplicably died or gone missing, and the Pei Family has flourished, leaping to become the wealthiest in Jinling; none of this could have happened without the support of the Tiance Sword Mansion behind the scenes.

"Correct, people in the martial arts world cannot just do whatever they please; there are special departments above that keep them in check, and the people of the martial arts world also have their own rules. Because the Tiance Sword Mansion is too powerful, their reckless behavior has long since attracted the attention of those above," Chen Yu said.

"Then why, why come only now?" A trace of anger erupted in Zhou Yuqing's eyes.

"My family of sixteen was brutally murdered. Even though it was clear that they were the ones who did it, why did no one come out to stop them? And after the incident occurred, why were they still able to remain at large?"

Chen Yu sighed: "The Tiance Sword Mansion's influence is too great; if we were to move against them, it would affect interests on all sides. Moreover, the special departments have more to manage than just domestic affairs; border conflicts, infiltration by foreign forces, and various disputes within the martial arts world all require attention."

"So I can only say I am sorry. At the time, our capabilities were limited, and we lacked direct evidence, so this matter was continuously delayed. However, as the Tiance Sword Mansion's power has grown ever larger, those above have finally steeled themselves to pull out this malignant tumor."

Zhou Yuqing remained silent. She closed her eyes and nodded slightly, large tears falling from her eyes.

"However, I need your cooperation to gather sufficient evidence, because the current Tiance Sword Mansion is not just a Hidden Sect; it is also the representative of the 'Xuanwu Pavilion' in the Jiangnan martial arts world. In a sense, they are the Martial Arts Alliance Leader of the novels."

"Therefore, we must produce enough evidence so that we can convince the people of the martial arts world," Chen Yu said.

"I will cooperate with you. I have been collecting evidence all these years, hoping that one day, I could avenge my parents." Zhou Yuqing wiped away her tears: "Then, my sister's illness..."

"It is not a major problem; she will be able to regain her freedom after the Acupuncture. It is just that she has been paralyzed for too long, so she will need some time to recover," Chen Yu said: "After she is cured, I will send her to Shengjing to recuperate, which will also prevent the events in Jinling from affecting her during this time."

"Additionally, if there are others who have been persecuted by the Pei Family, you can tell me. You can all join forces together to expose these dark secrets," Chen Yu said.

"I know. There are several people whose families were also persecuted; I will find a way to contact them." A glimmer of light finally appeared in Zhou Yuqing's eyes: "Even if I have to risk my life, I will avenge my parents and family."

"Let's go in." Chen Yu nodded: "I promise you, within seven days, I will first destroy the Pei Family, then go to the Tiance Sword Mansion and wipe out their sect."

The two walked into the room, and Chen Yu took out the Silver Needle.

"Mengmeng, Mr. Chen is going to perform Acupuncture for you. Once the treatment is finished, your illness will be gone," Zhou Yuqing said: "After he cures you, I will send you to Shengjing to stay for a few days."

"Why, sister? I don't want to be separated from you." Zhou Mengmeng was slightly stunned.

"Because you need to go to Shengjing to recuperate. I have friends there who will take good care of you," Chen Yu smiled slightly: "Don't worry, your sister has some things to handle. Once she finishes dealing with things here, she will definitely come to find you."

"Alright then, sister." Mengmeng seemed to sense something, and her hand moved slightly.

"Mengmeng, I'm here." Zhou Yuqing hurriedly stepped forward and took Mengmeng's hand.

"You must protect yourself well; Mengmeng cannot be without you," Mengmeng said.

"Don't worry, I will definitely protect myself well." Zhou Yuqing's nose felt sore, and she nearly shed tears.

Chen Yu picked up the Silver Needle and began to perform Acupuncture on Mengmeng.

Mengmeng's problem was not major, but it would have been difficult if the right method had not been found. It was thanks to Zhou Yuqing never giving up on her, massaging her and stimulating her blood circulation every day for all these years, that her muscles did not continue to atrophy.

Half an hour later, Chen Yu removed the needles, and Mengmeng broke into a cold sweat.

She asked somewhat nervously: "Sister, am I better now?"

"You are better, Mengmeng. You can try to move now," Chen Yu smiled slightly: "However, your illness has just been cured, so you must not be too hasty. Take a walk, move around a little, but do not do any strenuous exercise."

Mengmeng nodded. Under Chen Yu's encouragement, she slowly moved her hand and discovered with pleasant surprise that her once-stiff hand could now move.

She increased the range of motion, then slowly stood up. Amidst Zhou Yuqing's nervous and joyful expression, she slowly took a step.

"Mengmeng, you're better! You can stand up?" Zhou Yuqing wept with joy.

"Sister, I'm better! I can stand up! I can get up from now on!" Mengmeng was both surprised and happy. She ran over and hugged her sister. The two sisters embraced, and tears fell uncontrollably.

"Alright, pay attention to resting over the next few days. I will contact people now to have them take your sister to Shengjing," Chen Yu's brow relaxed.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen," Zhou Yuqing said to Chen Yu with gratitude.

"It's nothing; this is what I should have done anyway. I am arranging for people now to take your sister to Shengjing immediately. Don't worry, she will be well taken care of there," Chen Yu said.

"Okay," Zhou Yuqing said.

"Brother Chen." Just then, the door opened, and a girl walked in. She said with an excited face: "Brother Chen, are you really here?"

"Tang Xue, why are you here?" Chen Yu was slightly stunned. Shouldn't Tang Xue be in Shengjing?

"I came to Jinling to participate in an orphanage event and was visiting patients in the hospital. When you came in just now, I saw a back that looked like yours, so I followed. I didn't expect it to really be you," Tang Xue said excitedly: "We really are fated."

Chen Yu felt somewhat suspicious about Tang Xue suddenly appearing here, but he immediately said: "Alright, we'll talk later. I need to handle some things first."

"Brother Chen, what is the matter? Let me see if I can help," Tang Xue said.

"This young girl's legs have just recovered, and I am finding a place for her to recuperate in Shengjing," Chen Yu said.

"Leave it to me. I know many public-welfare hospitals; I will definitely take good care of her." Tang Xue glanced at Mengmeng and then greeted her enthusiastically: "Hello, my name is Tang Xue."

"My name is Mengmeng."

"This... that won't be necessary. I have already contacted people, and they will be here to pick her up in a moment," Chen Yu's brow furrowed slightly.

Tang Xue's personality used to be more gentle and introverted, but now her personality had changed drastically; she was as enthusiastic as fire. This made Chen Yu feel that something was wrong, but he could not put his finger on exactly what it was.

"Brother Chen, do you not trust my ability to handle things?" Tang Xue turned her head to look at Chen Yu, feeling a little aggrieved: "I just wanted to do something for you."
