"Today's meal was really good, and it's about time. Big brother must have finished by now. Let's hurry back, or it'll be trouble if the old man finds out."

A group of people had just left when they ran into Xiao Yadan and the others.

"What's the matter with you guys? Are you letting Luo Chao fall into depravity?" the old man said angrily.

Their faces were awkward. Wasn't he just an outsider? Moreover, an outsider who was about to die. What's the point of big brother going there?

"Such a fuss, old man! But indeed, this wasn't good." They only dared to think those words inside; none of them dared to object openly.

The old man, seeing their expressions, understood their thoughts. He stomped his foot and drifted away.

Inside the house, Jiang Yuanyuan's crying could be heard, surprising and angering him. He was angry because it actually happened.

Surprised because Jiang Yuanyuan's life force was incredibly tenacious; even though he entrusted her to this kid, he wasn't sure the kid could save her.

But how could this kid be so monstrous? Pushing open the door, Jiang Yuanyuan cried even harder upon seeing the old man.

Her body was immobilized; even if she wanted to move, it was impossible.

"I'm truly sorry, girl, for letting you go through this." The old man casually released Jiang Yuanyuan from her immobilization point.

He was stunned by the hickeys on Jiang Yuanyuan's neck. Could it be this kid did it to save her? Had he misunderstood him?

"Luo Chao, you can't die, you can't die!" Jiang Yuanyuan, free to move, rushed over immediately. But her strength was too small; no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move Luo Chao to the bed.

"What a fate." The old man said no more, waved his big hand, and placed Luo Chao on the bed. The poison was deep and entangled with Luo Chao's True Qi, making action unwise.

If he acted recklessly, who knows what kind of danger would arise.

Seeing the old man shake his head, Jiang Yuanyuan felt her heart drop into the abyss. Yet she was still hopeful; if he could save Chen Xiaoqi, why not Luo Chao?

"Are you kidding me? You saved even Xiaoqi from such strong poison, let alone this kind of low-life virus?"

Jiang Yuanyuan was desperate but unaware Chen Xiaoqi still hadn't woken up.

"I truly am powerless, Chen Xiaoqi is only temporarily stable." The old man felt deeply ashamed; after so many years of cultivation, believing himself one of the few masters in the world, he still faced problems.

Now, he saw how far he still had to go, not only failing to save Chen Xiaoqi but now his own disciple as well.

"Boss, old man, how could you be so cruel? Although the boss hurt this girl, it's not a crime deserving death." The few who followed were stunned.

The old man was harsh, doing such a thing. Did he have no compassion, or was he inherently ruthless, undiscovered before?

"Shut up. Watch your big brother; he can only rely on self-rescue now." The old man, angry, said. Later, he needed to thoroughly check the records.

They didn't know why the old man was angry, but knowing the boss was alive, they were relieved. Although unclear what happened there, it probably had nothing to do with the old man, right?

Xiao Yadan and the others went to answer the phone; it seemed someone called from a Jiang surname, not sure what it was about.

"I want to stay and take care of him." Jiang Yuanyuan glanced at the bed-bound Luo Chao. She owed him so much, unsure if she could repay it all.

But no matter what, in this life, she was his woman.

"As long as you wake up, I'm willing to change everything for you, even my lady-like temper. Even if I must be with Xiaoqi... It doesn't matter."

Jiang Yuanyuan blushed, but Xiaoqi was still between life and death, and her heart was about to break, one crisis after another. Couldn't it just stop for a while?

Xiao Yadan saw the old man come and urgently waved at him, sensing it was something big. Although he didn't know what, it surely wasn't small.

"Something happened to the Jiang Family; Jiang Weidong has been isolated for investigation," Xiao Yadan said.

"Jiang Weidong is being investigated?" The old man hadn't anticipated this. The Jiang Group should be a remarkable company, how could something happen?

But now, he couldn't leave; otherwise, more significant issues would arise. Has the Chen Family been contacted?

"Chen Family?" Xiao Yadan asked, puzzled.

The old man slapped his forehead, realizing he hadn't noted the Chen Family's number. Better to ask Jiang Yuanyuan, perhaps she had a solution.

"Did something happen to my father?" Jiang Yuanyuan collapsed to the ground, taking a while to come back to her senses, incredulous. Was it because of her mother's relationship?

Thinking of her mother's abduction, Jiang Yuanyuan felt terrified. If it was due to her, she was afraid to think further.

Luo Chao heard Jiang Yuanyuan's voice, her words right in his ear, clearly. She needed him. How could he just keep sleeping there?

Yet what were these black things appearing around his True Qi, constantly intertwining? Since they were, why not let them become nourishment for his True Qi?

Instinctively, he operated his cultivation technique, and the black True Qi was ground down and integrated into Luo Chao's meridians.

As these black things merged into Luo Chao's meridians, his entire aura changed dramatically.

"How could this be?" Looking at Luo Chao, the old man felt unwell, watching as the poison was absorbed for cultivation.

It appeared he merely absorbed the poison's energy, yet who knew what unforeseen changes might occur. Jiang Weidong apprehended?

A century ago, he would have directly rescued him, but not now. Despite being a cultivator, the looming threat of super-powerful weapons filled him with fear.
