Faced with this unexpected incident, Luo Xiu didn't panic. He guessed that Sun Li's condition was caused by the sound Su Shanyue had just made.

In that brief moment, he had also felt a slight, sharp pain in his own brain.

If even he was affected, an ordinary person like Sun Li would find it completely unbearable.

He quickly removed the Silver Needle from Su Shanyue's neck and went to help Sun Li move back a bit.

"Xiu, my head hurts so much! What on earth is happening?" Sun Li cried out, clutching her head with both hands.

Luo Xiu pressed various acupressure points on her head and said, "It's nothing serious. Go to the restroom and clean yourself up."

After Sun Li staggered away, Luo Xiu stared at Su Shanyue on the sofa, his expression growing more serious.

It seems my initial guess was right. There's no mistake… This must be the Void Zen Sound Master once told me about. Who is this woman? And who sealed such a power inside her body?

Unable to figure it out, Luo Xiu walked over and sat next to Su Shanyue to observe her closely.

With a worried look on her face, Su Shanyue gestured in sign language, asking about Sun Li's condition.

Luo Xiu shook his head and smiled. "Don't worry, Xiao Li is fine. She was just shaken by your voice a moment ago."

"Of course, if your voice had been any louder, she might have gotten a concussion."

Hearing this, Su Shanyue's eyes widened in a mixture of alarm and confusion as she stared at him questioningly.

My voice is that terrifying? Capable of giving someone a concussion?

Luo Xiu met her gaze and asked earnestly, "Do you really have no memory of the power within you?"

Su Shanyue shook her head blankly.

Luo Xiu asked again, "Have you been unable to speak for as long as you can remember? But no matter the examination, you're physiologically normal, just like anyone else?"

Su Shanyue nodded lightly.

Luo Xiu stroked his chin, lost in thought.

If that was the case, then the Void Zen Sound inside Su Shanyue must have been sealed within her by some great master right after she was born.

For a fragile infant to perfectly accept the Void Zen Sound without being harmed could only mean one of two things: either Su Shanyue was born with a special constitution, or the master's techniques were extraordinarily profound.

After a moment of thought, Luo Xiu said, "I won't hide it from you. The power inside you is called 'Void Zen Sound,' and it's considered a highly advanced martial art. I don't know which senior master sealed it inside you."

Su Shanyue stared intently at Luo Xiu, eager to hear more.

Luo Xiu looked at her and said solemnly, "If you want to be able to speak like a normal person, you have two choices."

"First, I can destroy the Void Zen Sound within you once and for all."

"Second, I can forcefully break the seal inside you and then apply my own. I'll control my seal to let the Void Zen Sound seep out slowly, which will allow you to speak."

At these words, Su Shanyue's beautiful eyes lit up, and she looked at Luo Xiu with excitement.

But Luo Xiu continued, "However, your voice can't be too loud. Even if you speak softly, any normal person who hears you within a certain range will be injured, just like Xiao Li was."

"In other words, you would only be able to speak to me, or to others who can withstand the Void Zen Sound."

Su Shanyue fell silent, seemingly considering her options or digesting what Luo Xiu had told her.

In truth, it wasn't hard for her to process his words. After all, her Su Family was a martial arts family, so they were familiar with all sorts of strange phenomena.

Several generations of her elders had been chairmen of the Martial Association, and her family owned more than a dozen martial arts gyms in Sea City. Her grandfather had even invested in a martial arts school in another province and participated in international competitions, winning several gold medals for Hua Country.

Luo Xiu poured her a glass of water and said, "Personally, I lean toward the second option. I suspected from the beginning that you might have the Void Zen Sound, and I've been making preparations specifically for it."

"It would be a shame if the Void Zen Sound, which a predecessor spent their lifetime cultivating before sealing it inside you, were to be destroyed."

Su Shanyue nodded, finding his reasoning sound.

At the same time, her curiosity about Luo Xiu deepened.

Despite his young age, he seems to know more than even my grandfather.

Luo Xiu stood up and smiled. "Alright, that's enough for today. Starting tomorrow, you need to train your body according to my instructions. Afterward, you'll soak in a medicinal bath that I'll prepare."

Su Shanyue looked at him, puzzled.

Luo Xiu explained, "Your body is too fragile. If I were to break the seal inside you and apply my own, you wouldn't be able to handle it."

Hearing this, Su Shanyue seemed unconvinced. Her cheeks puffed out slightly as she threw a small, playful punch at Luo Xiu, as if to show she exercised regularly and wasn't some weakling.

Luo Xiu merely smiled faintly. He casually picked up a stainless steel fruit knife from the coffee table, and with a light squeeze between two fingers of his right hand, he nonchalantly snapped it in two.

Then, with a half-smile, he said to Su Shanyue, "Reaching one percent of my strength should be enough."

Su Shanyue's mouth hung open. She stared at Luo Xiu as if he were a monster, speechless for a long time. Of course, she was incapable of speaking to begin with.

Is this guy even human?

Afterward, Luo Xiu went straight upstairs to sleep. He had been up all night with Su Shenyun and hadn't gotten any proper rest.

「Three days passed in the blink of an eye.」

During these three days, Luo Xiu stayed at home. He wasn't in a hurry to go to the casino, only chatting with Wu Tianhua on WeChat occasionally and telling him to handle things as usual.

For three days, Luo Xiu woke up on time every morning to supervise Su Shanyue's physical training.

The regimen started with a ten-kilometer run with sandbags strapped to her legs, followed by weightlifting, pull-ups, push-ups, frog jumps, horse stance training, and other physical conditioning exercises.

Sun Li, the young lady with nothing better to do, tried to join in. However, she would be exhausted after just a few kilometers and would collapse onto the lawn to give up.

In contrast, while Su Shanyue looked gentle and shy, she possessed incredible perseverance. She would strive to complete every task Luo Xiu assigned her, pushing herself until she collapsed, unable to move.

After the training, she would drink a nourishing soup that Luo Xiu had meticulously prepared with various medicinal herbs. Afterward, she also had to soak in a medicinal bath.

The process was arduous, even cruel, but in just three short days, Su Shanyue could clearly feel her physical condition improving.

She understood that the daily, overwhelming training was secondary. It was mainly Luo Xiu's medicinal soups and baths that were transforming her body.

A normal person training like this every day wouldn't just fail to get stronger; they'd actually injure themselves. So, it must be the soup and the medicinal bath!

That evening, Luo Xiu sat on the swing in the yard and sighed.

Nearby, Su Shanyue and Sun Li were training tirelessly. Both women were dressed in tight yoga outfits with their hair in ponytails, completely drenched in sweat.

In reality, this workout was less than a tenth of what Luo Xiu had endured on the mountain, yet it was already enough to make these two question their existence.

Comparisons really put things into perspective. Luo Xiu genuinely couldn't fathom how he and his three senior sisters had managed to endure their own training back then.

However, he truly admired Su Shanyue's determination and the stubborn streak deep in her bones that refused to admit defeat.

By the time darkness fell, Su Shanyue had fainted from exhaustion.

Sun Li, despite slacking off, was also too tired to move.

Luo Xiu shook his head helplessly, walked over, and carried each woman into the living room. This was the reason he had sighed: he had been playing nanny for three days.

In the bathroom, the full tub was steaming. Luo Xiu skillfully tossed in over a dozen types of roasted herbs in specific proportions. Then he put both women into the water, not even bothering to remove their yoga outfits.

Luo Xiu then left the bathroom, letting them soak while he went downstairs to the kitchen to start cooking.

About three hours later, the two women woke up in the bathtub. They changed their clothes and ate dinner but were once again too exhausted to move, slumping onto the sofa to sleep. Helpless, Luo Xiu had to carry them to their rooms again.

Sun Li's room was a mess, with underwear and stockings strewn about everywhere.

Su Shanyue's room, on the other hand, was clean and tidy.

Such is the difference between people, he supposed.

After placing the women on their beds, Luo Xiu quietly exited and was about to return to his own room when his phone suddenly chimed with a new message.

Looking at the message, Luo Xiu's brows furrowed, and a flash of anger crossed his eyes. He then changed into a suit, left the villa, and rode the small electric scooter that Sun Li had acquired from who-knows-where toward Lan Gui Casino.
