"I'm sorry about today's incident, you guys rest up, see you later." Han Lian courteously ended the call.

Ling Zhenfei also understood that it wasn't right to blame anyone for such an incident; being alive and able to celebrate was fortunate enough, and one shouldn't have too many complaints.

Not long after, the sound of water in the bathroom ceased, and a few minutes later, the glass door opened and Zhuo Yue, dressed in checkered pajamas, walked out.

The moment Ling Zhenfei laid eyes on Zhuo Yue, only one thought flashed through his mind, "It's over, I might do something wrong tonight!"

The provocative atmosphere in the couple's room was already very rich, and under the dim, warm, red light, it became almost irresistible to entertain some inappropriate thoughts.

"Why are you looking at me like that, haven't you seen a woman before?" Zhuo Yue seemed very calm, but her flickering eyes revealed her nervousness, unsure of what to do.

"Nothing, I'm going to take a shower." Ling Zhenfei ran into the bathroom like he was fleeing, washed his body with cold water, and only then did the surge of inappropriate desire subside.

Women are like tigers; one careless move and you're eaten, yet everyone likes to be the tiger's prey, especially when the tiger is beautiful.

Of course, Ling Zhenfei liked Zhuo Yue, but he didn't know how to face her. Although they had known each other for a while, there hadn't been any substantial interactions in life. If something were to happen tonight, he really wouldn't know how to face her the next day or how to face her the next time.

When Ling Zhenfei finished showering and came out, he saw that Zhuo Yue had already fallen asleep on the bed, her breathing light like a baby's, invoking a tenderness that made him reluctant to disturb her.

She may have seemed to sleep, but she had used up a lot of spiritual power that day and needed to replenish it. Moreover, after his fight with Zhu Qiang and Feng Kai, Zhenfei felt like he was on the verge of a breakthrough. Thus, as soon as he closed his eyes, his divine sense entered the Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow to cultivate.

The Northern Spiritual Energy inside the Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow was abundant; with enough time, a breakthrough was certain, and what he needed most now was time.

"Ah, don't come over, don't come over!"

As Ling Zhenfei cultivated, he suddenly heard Zhuo Yue shouting and screaming and hurriedly exited the Emperor Heavenly Essence. He saw Zhuo Yue shouting loudly, apparently having a nightmare.

"Zhuo Yue, Zhuo Yue, what's wrong with you?" It took a long time to finally calm her down, and her face still wore a terrified expression.

"I just had a nightmare; it was so scary."

"What did you dream about? Tell me, you can rest assured with me here, no one dares to bully you."

"I'm afraid I dreamed about you. I saw you shot multiple times, covered in blood, stretching out your hand asking me to save you, but when I rushed to you, you disappeared, and then I searched for you everywhere but couldn't find you at all. Then a lot of people chased after me, and I saw Zhu Qiang aiming at me with a gun, wanting to kill me."

"It's okay, I'm right here, aren't I? No one dares to bully you with me around." Ling Zhenfei embraced Zhuo Yue.

"Don't worry, I won't leave you."

When Ling Zhenfei woke up the next day, it was already bright out. Normally, his internal clock was very precise, but it failed him this morning because he was too tired the night before.

Upon waking, Ling Zhenfei realized that Zhuo Yue was not by his side. He searched the entire room and found no one; moreover, Zhuo Yue's bag and luggage were gone, indicating that she had already left.

Upon receiving a text message on his phone, it was a message from Zhuo Yue: "I'm sorry I've already left, goodbye to Jianghu, no need to worry."

Ling Zhenfei scoffed at her failure to mention last night's events. He hadn't expected Zhuo Yue to be so carefree. Last night's incident was a comedy of errors; neither of them really understood themselves, and he didn't even know how to face her in the morning. But now Zhuo Yue had already left, and she hadn't even mentioned last night at all. He wondered what was on her mind.

Since Zhuo Yue didn't want to bring it up, he couldn't say much either. He sent her a message, telling her to be safe, not to reveal the list carelessly, and to let him know immediately if she ran into any danger.

After eating something, he drove back to the ornamental fish farm. Xishan Manor was essentially closed now, but the ornamental fish farm still had some fish that had been rescued. They were now the top priority; otherwise, he would truly be left out in the cold.

The fish that had been revived were now as lively as they were originally, showing no signs of the previous poisoning. Fatty, fearing another mishap, had already contacted buyers to quickly take the fish away, rather than risking further complications.

That afternoon, he suddenly received a call from Qiu Qian, who said she wanted to meet with him. Ling Zhenfei knew that Qiu Qian wanted to talk about treating her father's illness. He hadn't gone to treat Qiu Qing since he was insulted by Qiu Yun's group last time.

In the eyes of the Qiu Family, Ling Zhenfei must be angry. But that was not the case; ever since that day, too much had happened, and he simply hadn't had the time to treat Qiu Qing. From the fish poisoning to the greenhouse arson, it all happened within those few days.

The two arranged to meet at a coffee shop. When Ling Zhenfei arrived, Qiu Qian was already there waiting for him.

"Divine Doctor Brother, I'm so happy you could come."

Qiu Qian had lost quite a bit of weight in just a few days, her once radiant face now slightly dull, presumably because of her father's leg.

"If you invite me, of course I'll come. To speak like that really seems so distant."

"I thought you weren't going to pay me any mind anymore." Qiu Qian's expression was dim, her usual brilliance faded.

"How could I? I would never ignore you."

"Really? Divine Doctor Brother, you really don't blame me?" Hearing Ling Zhenfei's words, some color returned to Qiu Qian's face.

"Why would I blame you? You haven't done anything wrong to me." Ling Zhenfei obviously knew what Qiu Qian meant, and he had already taken it into consideration.

"It's my family members; I was afraid you were angry about last time and would never go to my house again."

"That's not the case. I'm not that small-minded. Since I've promised to cure your father, I'll keep my promise."

Ling Zhenfei was being honest. Even if Qiu Yun and Jin Zhi said whatever they wanted, he was going to cure Qiu Qing because he had started treating Qiu Qing as a courtesy to Old Master Qiu and Qiu Qian, unrelated to others.

"Divine Doctor Brother, I feel reassured hearing you say that. I came today especially to apologize to you. Those small-minded people, I feel ashamed on behalf of their relatives. After you left that day, my grandfather scolded them thoroughly, and by now they should have learned their lesson. Also, this time I've brought you this."

After finishing her speech, Qiu Qian took a bank card out of her purse and handed it over to Ling Zhenfei.

"What does this mean?" There was undoubtedly money in the bank card; he didn't know what Qiu Qian's intention was by giving him money.

"Please don't misunderstand, Divine Doctor Brother. Grandfather knows you're helping my father for reasons other than money, but this is the bet that man lost to you. Have you forgotten? He said if you could cure my father's illness, he would give five hundred thousand; this is the wager."
