Chapter 52 – I must dedicate myself to Young Master Xiao and become the beautiful companion by his side!
Seeing Xiao Chen once again employ his medical techniques, everyone held their breath, afraid to disturb him.
Only Cai Yan showed a hint of confusion, her expression turning somewhat grave.
She remembered that when Xiao Chen was treating Xiao Zhan's injuries, he didn't use these elaborate hand seals.
It seemed this old fellow was seriously injured, enough to make the young master use hand seals!
As the white light burst forth, Murong Bo felt as if he were soaking in the spring of life. His previously damaged and failing bodily functions were now rejuvenated and brimming with vitality.
The sensation almost made him moan, but he managed to hold back.
At his age, it wouldn't do to scare Young Master Xiao.
In no time, Xiao Chen withdrew his palm, the runes on his body fading away.
"It's done. How do you feel?"
Looking at the now much younger Murong Bo, Xiao Chen asked with a faint smile.
"Hiss... It's all better, really all better!!"
Feeling his breathing smooth and no longer having the urge to cough, even regaining sensation in his lower body, Murong Bo's eyes widened. He immediately stood up and moved around.
"Hahaha, I, Murong Bo, can finally stand again!!"
Feeling the ground beneath his feet, Murong Bo laughed heartily and knelt heavily before Xiao Chen.
"I, Murong Bo, thank Young Master Xiao for his great kindness!"
Seeing their elder kneel in gratitude, Murong Fu and Murong Qingxue also dared not remain standing and immediately knelt before Xiao Chen.
"Hey, hey, why are you all kneeling again..."
Seeing this, Xiao Chen felt a bit of a headache.
This family was too courteous, always kneeling, making him feel quite embarrassed.
After all, he hadn't really done much, just waved his hands around, leaving the rest to the System.
Now he had reaped a lot of resources and even gained some fame.
So he was already very satisfied and didn't need more kneeling.
"Your injuries are fully healed now, but you still need to recover your previous cultivation..."
Signaling Murong Bo and the others to rise, Xiao Chen continued with a faint smile.
"Next, I will try to refine a Revitalizing Purple Pill, which should help you regain your cultivation!"
When he thought of the Revitalizing Purple Pill, a bold idea popped into his mind, though he wasn't sure if it would work.
If it did, he could get many Revitalizing Purple Pills, and giving one to help Murong Bo regain his cultivation would be no problem.
"What?!"
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Murong Bo and the others were shocked, clearly unable to believe what they heard.
Xiao Chen had already helped them twice, which was a great kindness, and now he planned to help Murong Bo regain his cultivation.
What had the Murong family done to deserve such favor from Xiao Chen?
"Don't get too excited. It's just an idea. I still need to verify it."
"If it doesn't work, then Old Mr. Murong's cultivation will have to be restored later."
Seeing Murong Bo and the others trembling with excitement, looking like they were about to kneel again, Xiao Chen waved his hand to calm them down.
"Young Master Xiao's intention alone is a great blessing. How could we ask for more?"
Murong Bo waved his hand, still full of gratitude.
If not for Xiao Chen's appearance today, he would have become a cold corpse within three days.
And Murong Qingxue, after being rejected by Nalan Shijie, would have been heartbroken and possibly ended her own life.
Even Murong Fu, losing two close relatives in succession, might have been devastated.
So, Xiao Chen's appearance today saved not just him but the entire Murong family!
"Alright, prepare a quiet side room for me. I need to verify my idea."
Xiao Chen nodded and, without further pleasantries, followed Murong Bo's arrangement to a side room next to Murong Qingxue's courtyard.
Cai Yan, without saying a word, glanced at Murong Qingxue and then followed Xiao Chen, swaying her hips.
If she wasn't mistaken, this was another girl infatuated with Young Master Xiao, likely to be a future sister she would have to get along with.
Young Master Xiao was just too outstanding!
In just two or three days, he had already attracted another infatuated girl.
If she didn't seize the opportunity, she might end up far down the line.
As these thoughts crossed her mind, Cai Yan's gaze on Xiao Chen's back couldn't help but flicker.
"Ahem, they're already gone, and you're still staring?"
Watching Xiao Chen and Cai Yan disappear around the corner, Murong Bo teased the lovestruck Murong Qingxue with a dry cough.
"Grandfather, what are you talking about?"
Murong Qingxue was startled by Murong Bo's words, her face turning a deep red, and she pouted in embarrassment.
"Hahaha, I've lived long enough to see that you've fallen for him."
Seeing Murong Qingxue's rare expression, Murong Bo couldn't help but laugh heartily.
"Young Master Xiao is a rare genius. If you like him, you should seize the opportunity."
"After all, our Xue is a great beauty, no less than anyone else!"
"But Young Master Xiao already has such an outstanding beauty by his side. How could he ever notice someone like me..."
Murong Qingxue lowered her head, feeling inferior despite Murong Bo's encouraging words.
Though Cai Yan wore a veil and said little, as a woman, she could sense that Cai Yan was a stunning beauty, no less than herself.
Moreover, Cai Yan's cultivation was far superior, and she had an aura of a true superior.
Such an outstanding woman was a perfect match for Young Master Xiao.
How could someone like her, who had transformed from an ugly duckling, ever be worthy of him?
"Silly girl, happiness is something you have to fight for. If you like him, go after him boldly."
"A talent like Young Master Xiao, with his extraordinary skills, will surely attract many admirers."
"If you don't have the courage to stand by his side, you might never even get close to him."
Seeing that Murong Qingxue was still trapped in her past insecurities, Murong Bo patted her shoulder.
"You're no less than anyone else now, just lacking confidence."
"Life is short, so be bold. Chase after someone, climb a mountain."
"Don't leave any regrets. Grandfather will always support you!"
"Grandfather..."
Murong Qingxue's body trembled, her eyes reddening as she looked up.
She hadn't expected her feelings for a man to receive such support from her elder.
It was unimaginable in the past.
Murong Fu, watching this heartwarming scene, also felt his eyes redden.
Such a warm moment.
If Murong Qingxue's mother were here, she would be very comforted.
"And you, brat, what's with the sulking? Don't you support your daughter chasing after Young Master Xiao?!"
Murong Fu's sentimental moment was interrupted by a slap on the head.
Looking up, he saw Murong Bo glaring at him, making his head buzz.
"If you hadn't drunkenly arranged that ridiculous engagement for Qingxue, would she have suffered so much?!"
"From now on, Qingxue's happiness is in her own hands. If you mess up again, I'll break your legs..."
Seeing the city lord Murong Fu being scolded like a child by Murong Bo, Murong Qingxue couldn't help but smile, a charming and alluring smile.
The Murong family had truly changed...
It had become more vibrant and joyful than before.
All thanks to Young Master Xiao, so in this life... she must not let him down!
With her spirits lifted, Murong Qingxue made up her mind.
She would give herself to Young Master Xiao and become the beauty by his side!
