Chapter 358 Jiang Ran Awakens

Liao Shengfeng listened to his accusations, raised an eyebrow slightly, shrugged, and showed no remorse for deceiving him, replying directly, "Who knew you would believe it?"

"You!" Si Youlin wanted to retort, but he didn't know where to begin his accusation.

After all, Jiang Ran's recovery was entirely thanks to him.

A glint flashed in his eyes, and he instantly understood the purpose of his actions. It turned out that he had a strong desire for revenge! He had previously spoken out and questioned him, and his attitude towards him was also very bad, so after dealing with the situation, he deliberately said this to provoke himself.

Thinking of this, Si Youlin's face suddenly turned cold, and his eyes also became colder as he looked at him. He then spoke in a deep voice, accusingly, "What a fox!"

Liao Shengfeng's lips curled slightly, a faint smile playing on his face, but he didn't seem to care about the accusations against him.

Seeing the two arguing back and forth, Jiang Ran's eyes flickered, and a look of doubt flashed across her face. She then asked, "What are you talking about?"

Upon hearing Jiang Ran's question, Si Youlin quietly recounted the whole story.

It turned out that ever since Liao Shengfeng told him to clear his mind and perform the Zi-Wu Mudra, his mind had instantly gone blank, and he was completely unaware of any external stimuli.

When he woke up again, Liao Shengfeng was sitting opposite him, his eyes slightly lowered, his expression full of regret. He then said to him in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, Jiang Ran's soul is almost annihilated, and there is no possibility of rebuilding it..."

Upon hearing this news, Si Youlin was startled. He was initially unwilling to believe it, but he couldn't resist Si Youlin's continued embellishment.

Thinking about all the things that happened in the past, my emotions instantly reached a breaking point. The pressure I had been under these past few days suddenly resurfaced, and I couldn't help but cry.

After saying that, Si Youlin's face showed a hint of unease, and he explained in a deep voice, "It's not that I'm reluctant to part with you, it's just that with all the things that have happened recently, I lost control of my emotions for a moment."

Jiang Ran listened to his evasive explanation, her eyes flickered slightly, and a smile immediately appeared on her face, but she did not expose him.

Then, turning to look at Liao Shengfeng, and confirming that he was the one who had entered her dream, she nodded slightly in acknowledgment, and then said in a low voice, "Thank you."

To be honest, she was only able to be rescued because he rode the Azure Dragon and broke the dream.

What she didn't expect was that he could see through Si Youlin's Azure Dragon aura at a glance, and even extract Azure Dragon power to summon it.

This was something that no ordinary Taoist priest could do, and coupled with his confident and composed demeanor, she found it difficult to fathom his abilities.

Liao Shengfeng, still with his roguish air, replied in a low voice, "It's alright, you just need to repay this favor next time."

"Okay." Jiang Ran did not refuse and readily agreed.

Liao Shengfeng didn't expect her to agree so readily. He raised an eyebrow and asked in surprise, "Aren't you afraid I'll make unreasonable demands?"

Jiang Ran seemed to have expected him to say that, and was not surprised. She slowly replied, "You won't."

The certainty in her tone and the trust she showed surprised Liao Shengfeng. Before he could ask, Jiang Ranfu continued.

"If you were that kind of person, you wouldn't have gone to all that trouble to take on this job."

"As for the compensation, don't worry, just tell me and I will do my best to do it."

Hearing Jiang Ran's assurance, Liao Shengfeng's eyes flickered slightly, and he replied in a low voice, "Okay."

The old man rushed over upon hearing the news. When he saw that Jiang Ran was awake, his face was full of joy. He then quickly stepped forward to ask if she was feeling unwell.

Jiang Ran was momentarily flattered, and then looked to Liao Shengfeng for help.

Liao Shengfeng immediately understood and had no choice but to step forward and say softly, "I need to diagnose her condition, please excuse me."

The implication of his dismissal was clear, and the old man quickly replied, "Okay... I understand."

After offering a few more words of comfort, he turned and left.

When Si Yanxiao heard the news, he was dealing with official business, and the people he had sent out were reporting on those tiny, even negligible, clues.

Upon receiving the call from the old man, Si Yanxiao's face suddenly paled in surprise. He abruptly stood up and exclaimed in astonishment, "Really?!"

After receiving a positive reply, Si Yanxiao picked up his coat and walked outside.

The two people left behind, one reporting on official business and the other on personal matters, looked at each other, unsure of what to do next.

Si Yanxiao drove at high speed all the way back to the villa and happened to run into the old man in the hall.

With a slight nod, and without bothering with pleasantries, Si Yanxiao turned and headed upstairs.

Upon entering the room, they saw a strange man taking Jiang Ran's pulse. Si Youlin sat quietly to the side. When he looked up and saw Si Yanxiao, his brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of impatience flashed across his face. However, he still stood up and greeted him, "Daddy."

Si Yanxiao nodded slightly, then walked towards Jiang Ran. After making sure she was really alright, he turned to look at Liao Shengfeng and asked in surprise, "Who is this?"

The old man pushed the door open and entered, explaining, "He is Liao Shengfeng from the Wudang Sect. We really owe him a lot this time."

Hearing his explanation, Si Yanxiao raised an eyebrow and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh?"

Then, looking at Liao Shengfeng seriously, he thanked him.

While Si Yanxiao was present, the old man stepped forward, gave a few more instructions, and then turned and walked out.

The maid, being very perceptive, followed him out.

Si Yanxiao sat on the edge of the bed, looking down at Jiang Ran, a strange glint flashing in his eyes.

Jiang Ran didn't notice his expression. Her gaze swept around and, seeing that someone was missing from the beginning, she asked in a low voice, "Where's A-Chen?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of unease flashed across Si Yanxiao and Si Youlin's faces. Seeing the two lower their eyes and remain silent, Jiang Ran couldn't help but urge them, "What's wrong?"

Si Yanxiao pursed his lips slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly replied, "He is currently...missing." "Missing?" Jiang Ran was startled, a trace of anxiety flashing through her heart. She quickly asked, "What happened? How could he be missing? I was perfectly fine before I fainted."

One question after another was raised. Si Yanxiao lowered his eyes slightly and then slowly began to recount the cause and effect of the matter.

Upon hearing this, a look of shock flashed across Jiang Ran's face, but only for a moment before she guessed that the person who had been scheming behind the scenes had probably already taken everything into account.

Then, her eyes flickered slightly, and she asked again, "Where is my brother?"

Logically speaking, upon learning of his awakening, he should have come to visit him long ago, but he has yet to appear. Thinking of this, Jiang Ran felt a faint sense of unease.

As expected, Si Yanxiao's gaze darkened slightly, and he replied in a low voice, "They're gone too..."

Then he began to recount to her in detail everything that had happened during this period.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran frowned deeply, never expecting that so many things had happened while she was unconscious...

Then, his gaze sharpened, and he said in a deep voice, "I'll go find them right away!"

He tried to get up, but his long coma had left him weak and he stumbled.

Si Yanxiao quickly reached out to support him, and Si Youlin also looked worried.

"In your current state, who else do you want to go to?" A slightly mocking voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Liao Shengfeng walked slowly closer, his brow furrowed, and coldly rebuked, "Don't you know what the situation is right now?"

"I'm sending you, but how many steps can you even take?"

Si Yanxiao listened to Liao Shengfeng's stern reprimand, but showed no displeasure on his face.

After all, he knew Jiang Ran's personality all too well. Once she made up her mind, no amount of persuasion would work. But Liao Shengfeng's status was different now, and Jiang Ran lowered her eyes, so she had to be more cautious.

"But……"

Jiang Ran was about to retort when Liao Shengfeng interrupted her, saying, "But what? If you insist on being stubborn, there's nothing I can do."

"But stop thinking about dragging others down. You know what the consequences will be. If you're looking for death, I won't stop you."

His words were full of sarcasm. As Jiang Ran listened to his rebuke, her lips pursed slightly, and a hint of hesitation flashed across her face.

Seeing this, Si Yanxiao chimed in, "That's right, the most important thing now is to get your body back in good shape."

"Don't worry, I guarantee that Ah Chen and Jiang Yuechen will be safe from danger anytime soon!"
