But now that Chu Chuyan has consumed the Illusionary Lotus of No Trace, her level has increased by at least one major realm, as can be seen from her palm strike with Shi Lezhi, who is at the eighth rank.
In this way, she surpassed him in strength. The key point is that she is quite clear that the two of them have similar aptitudes, and if there are no other fortuitous encounters, he may never catch up with her in his entire life.
The thought of being overshadowed by Chu Chuyan for the rest of her life filled her with irritation. She glared hatefully at the culprit, thinking, "It's all this guy's fault!"
Pei Mianman's anger level increased by 666!
Zheng Dan, standing to the side, also had a complicated expression. She had been very curious about how Zu An had escaped from Shi Kun's carefully laid trap, and now she finally understood the reason.
I never expected this guy to be such a passionate and devoted lover.
Unlike others, from the very beginning of her contact with him, she sensed that he was not the useless person the legends said he was. On the contrary, he had a lot of mystery about him, and that mystery had a fatal attraction for her.
Now that she has learned that he treated Chu Chuyan this way, she was in a daze for a moment. If her fiancé Sang Qian had obtained the Vanishing Illusion Lotus, would he have saved her?
After thinking for a moment, she shook her head slightly, a self-deprecating bitter smile on her face.
Even Wu Qing looked at Zu An with more admiration, thinking to herself that she had indeed misunderstood him before.
Only Jiang Luofu glanced at Zu An with a strange expression. She was one of the few who knew the inside story and what the Wuzong Huanlian meant to him. This guy actually sacrificed so much just to save a wife in name only.
Noticing the gazes and discussions of those around him, Shi Kun's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Shi Lezhi for help.
Shi Lezhi, having lived a longer life, quickly came up with an idea: "Nonsense! Looking around the world, who has ever heard of someone whose vital energy has been severed being able to recover completely? At most, they can only regain a little mobility, not even as good as a normal person, let alone be as energetic as she is."
"Besides, the effect of the Illusory Lotus is to make people level up, but I have never heard of it having the effect of regenerating the vital energy. If you don't believe me, you can consult the Divine Physician Ji in the city."
Those close to the Shi family all spoke up in support of them.
Jiang Luofu frowned; she also remembered that the Illusory Lotus of No Trace should not have the effect of restoring one's vital essence.
At this moment, Shi Kun was clearly inspired and exclaimed, "Although Doctor Ji is not here, his daughter Ji Xiaoxi is. As everyone knows, Miss Ji has inherited her father's true skills. Let her speak the truth."
Upon hearing him say this, everyone's eyes immediately fell on Ji Xiaoxi.
Ji Xiaoxi was already a little shy, and being watched by so many people made her even more flustered. She opened her mouth several times but couldn't think of what to say.
Shi Kun said in a deep voice, "Miss Ji, everyone knows you don't lie, and your opinion also represents the authority of your father's medical skills. You should think it over before you speak."
Zu An immediately objected: "You surnamed Shi, are you threatening the witness?"
Shi Kun snorted: "There is no threat. I was just reminding her to prevent her from being misled by some cunning people."
He racked his brains but couldn't figure out why he had considered this guy a friend in the secret realm. Now, just thinking about it made him feel nauseous.
He wasn't the only one who felt like vomiting; Zu'an was also having a headache over the 100,000 taels of silver he'd spent—it was all for nothing.
There was also the 100,000 taels used to win over Zhang Han. Although it had some effect, it wasn't enough for him to feel that it was worth 100,000 taels.
It seems I'll have to seriously consider how to use this rather useless skill of "getting close to people with a hundred million" in the future.
At this moment, Ji Xiaoxi suddenly calmed down. Perhaps it was because she heard what the other person said that she realized this was her professional field. Her expression immediately changed: "To the best of my knowledge, there is no medical book or precedent that shows that the Wuzong Huanlian has the effect of reconnecting the primordial meridians."
Shi Kun laughed heartily, looking at Chu Chuyan smugly: "Did you hear that? Even Miss Ji said so, so it's all your slander."
Chu Chuyan frowned slightly. She had indeed lied about this, but how could she tell the truth in front of so many people?
Just then, Ji Xiaoxi said, "I haven't finished yet. Although there's no precedent for the Illusionary Lotus of No Trace healing damage to the Yuan Meridians, such a miraculous treasure might have this function. It's just that it's too rare, and no one has ever given it to a cripple whose Yuan Meridians are completely severed before, so naturally, it can't be proven. If what Miss Chu said is true, then it would be a major discovery in the medical field, and those in the world whose Yuan Meridians are completely severed would finally have hope of recovery."
Chu Chuyan's face flushed. If she had truly misled the knowledge in the field of medicine, then she would have committed a grave sin.
She glanced at Zu An subconsciously, thinking that she would tell Ji Xiaoxi in private that it was useless to find Wu Zong Huan Lian to reconnect her meridians; only he could do it.
Zuan seemed to sense the meaning in her eyes, thinking to himself, "I'm not going to save a man, but if the woman is pretty, then maybe it's not out of the question..."
