The Lang family.
"Ouch—it hurts!"
Chu Chu was unaware that Yan Jiu had used him as a shield. He suddenly opened his eyes, still in pain.
He saw an old man with a goatee, and he was immediately reminded of the old Chinese medicine doctor who had given him acupuncture when he was a child.
He was so frightened that he became expressionless.
Dan Xianren stroked his sparse goatee and said with a serious expression, "It's good that you can feel it. The spellcaster used a rather vicious method. If it had been a few more hours, the little guy would probably have lost his sense of touch permanently."
He looked old and frail, but his eyes were sharp and he exuded a youthful vigor.
Upon hearing this...
Chu Chu instantly snapped to attention: "What about Brother Yu?! Her three senses were sealed even earlier than mine!"
Upon hearing this...
Lang Shuhua smiled thoughtfully: "You mean Zhong Yu? That child is fine too."
Chu Chu breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked around.
He then realized that he was surrounded by a group of strangers.
Only Lang Zongyi was familiar to him.
Chu Chu politely thanked them in turn: "Thank you, Grandpa, Uncle, Aunt, Brother, Sister, and Brother-in-law, my sister is here..."
Before he could finish speaking...
Lang Zongyi narrowed his eyes: "Hmm?"
Chu Chu shrank his neck.
She covered his mouth with her hand.
Oh my god.
Why did he blurt out what was on his mind?!
Will I get secretly stuffed into a sack and beaten up?
Chu Chu didn't notice that everyone else present had a knowing smile on their face.
Just like with this title, no one present had any objection except for Lang Zongyi himself.
Chu Chu tried to get out of bed.
But he was pressed down on the shoulder by the old Chinese medicine doctor he saw.
Without waiting for a reply, Dan Xianren said, "You are not a member of the Xuanmen sect. If you still want these legs, don't try to stand up within an hour."
Chu Chu looked down at her legs, which were covered by gauze: "Is there any hope for my long legs?"
Dan Xianren chuckled: "With me here, I can heal even the most skeletal remains, provided you follow the doctor's orders."
A voice came from the doorway.
"Thank you for your help, Immortal."
Upon hearing this...
Dan Xianren recalled the beard that had been pulled off by the other party.
He shivered.
He hurriedly replied, "No, no, it was nothing at all."
Chu Chu looked at Yan Jiu with surprise: "Sister?"
Yan Jiu placed a bowl of noodles in Chu Chu's arms and patted his hair: "Happy birthday, big boy."
Chu Chu laughed like a fool.
These past few days have been awful.
He was so miserable that he forgot it was his birthday.
Luckily, someone helped me remember it.
Just as Chu Chu was about to slurp his noodles, he glanced behind Yan Jiu but didn't see Jian Zhongyu as he had expected.
He lowered his head.
Like a big dog that has lost its beloved toy.
Yan Jiu explained, "I helped make this bowl of noodles; Zhong Yu made it. She has some things to take care of right now."
If it weren't for Chu Chu's aversion to wood, he wouldn't have been so badly injured in the Thorn Maze and wouldn't have woken up so late.
Having mastered the magic, Jian Zhongyu recovered from his injuries quickly. The moment Chu Chu woke up, Jian Zhongyu was unusually calm, as if he had grown up overnight.
After cooking longevity noodles for Chu Chu, he left the Lang family with the half-dead Jian Wen in his arms.
Yan Jiu knew what Jian Zhongyu was going to do.
She had planned to deliver the noodles, make sure Chu Chu was alright, and then go and support him.
Upon hearing that the longevity noodles were cooked by Jian Zhongyu, Chu Chu instantly regained his energy.
Yan Jiu shook his head at the sight.
She walked out of the room.
Looking at the immortal being surrounded by the crowd.
When Dan Xianren caught sight of Yan Jiu, he subconsciously shuddered again: "Your Excellency Yan, I will come to change the medicine every two days. I guarantee that your brother will be as healthy as ever within three courses of treatment."
Yan Jiu nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."
She handed over two protective charms that she had written in her spare time.
It is considered as compensation.
Dan Xianren was flattered and accepted the gift with both hands.
He is a ginseng spirit born from the foot of Tianlian Mountain.
It has lived for nearly a thousand years.
He has always had an eccentric temper.
Relying on medical skills.
They always treat people differently based on their social status.
If it weren't for the Lang family head inviting him to come out of seclusion, he would never have made a trip for an ordinary person.
Upon seeing Chu Chu and Jian Zhongyu's minor injuries, he turned away with a displeased expression.
They happened to run into Yan Jiu.
They disagreed on a single word.
He was hung up and beaten.
A lot of his beard was pulled off.
He has completely lost face.
But he accepted the fact that he could get two life-saving talismans from a powerful being in addition to the agreed-upon reward, and he would change his bad habit of looking down on people from now on.
After seeing off Immortal Dan.
Lang Shuhua shook his head and sighed: "I've known Dan Xianren for so many years, and I've never seen him so humble. Sigh, I'm starting to feel that my son is not good enough for you."
John Lang nodded in agreement.
Yan Jiu immediately stated her position: "I only admire Director Shi... Director Lang."
She could still make a few jokes when she didn't know Lang Zongyi was her senior brother, but now that she knew, she couldn't make jokes openly anymore, as it would only deepen other people's misunderstandings.
Lang Zongyi, standing to the side, seemed unusually unaccustomed to this.
He glanced at Yan Jiu.
I was inevitably shocked.
This is unlike Yan Jiu.
Is he perhaps plotting something bad?
Just as Lang Zongyi had predicted.
Yan Jiu after the crowd dispersed.
They quietly followed.
After many tiring days, Lang Zongyi didn't want to beat around the bush anymore: "Just say what you have to say."
Yan Jiu obediently replied, "I took the peach wood sword, and I framed the Rose Cross for it."
Lang Zongyi: "..." I knew it.
Yan Jiu then said, "Could you please turn a blind eye, senior brother, for the sake of our friendship?"
Lang Zongyi countered, "Do you think that's possible?"
