Urban Supernatural Medical Saint

Seeing Fang Yu's serious demeanor, the old master was also slightly surprised. This was unexpected to him.

But Fang Yu's reason was far too far-fetched.

The old master asked in a deep voice, "Is this the reason you want to call off the engagement?"

"Yes."

"Could it be that you think Wenjun is not good enough for you?" The old master was a bit angry; he was well aware of how outstanding his great-granddaughter was.

Fang Yu shook his head and said, "On the contrary... Miss Ye is a young graduate from Harvard, admirable, and also the president of the Ye Corporation. I believe there must be countless young masters in Yanjing vying for Miss Ye."

"Then you think she isn't pretty enough?" the old master asked again.

"Miss Ye's appearance is one in a million, a beauty that would put the nation to shame." Fang Yu sincerely praised.

Hearing this, Ye Wenjun slightly furrowed her brows, even more confused about why the marriage needed to be dissolved.

The old master said, "If that's the case, then why still dissolve the engagement?"

Fang Yu slightly turned his eyes and said indifferently, "Old master, it's better for you to ask Miss Ye about this matter."

"..."

The old master seemed to understand.

Just as he was about to ask Ye Wenjun why, Ye Wenjun stood up, her gaze cold, her tone decisive, saying: "If you want to dissolve it, then dissolve it..."

"Wenjun," the old master called out.

Ye Wenjun suddenly felt somewhat frustrated and stormed out.

Seeing this situation, Fang Yu nodded and said, "Alright, my mission is complete, old master, I take my leave."

With that, he started walking towards the outside.

When walking past Ye Wenjun, Fang Yu paused for a moment, but did not speak.

However, just after taking a few steps, Fang Yu suddenly felt a bit unwell and stopped again.

In an instant, he was sweating profusely.

"Consumed too much Inner Essence... truly a headache-inducing issue," Fang Yu muttered to himself.

The sky was getting dark; he needed to find a place to control his breathing and recover his Inner Essence.

Standing not far behind, Ye Wenjun saw this scene and frowned—was he tired? Scenes of Fang Yu inserting needles for the great grandfather flashed across her mind.

Sweating, with nobody to wipe his face.

Thirsty, yet no one to bring him water.

Yet, he complained not at all.

For a moment, she was overwhelmed with emotions.

Whether he was putting on an act or this was his true nature, the fact that he saved the great grandfather was undeniable.

Thus, Ye Wenjun calmly stated:

"My Ye family isn't ungrateful; it's getting dark, you should rest here for the night."

Ye Wenjun then turned her head toward the servant and said, "Prepare the best guest room."

"Yes, Miss."

...

Fang Yu did not object.

Indeed, he needed a room to adjust his Inner Essence. Without speaking or giving thanks, he followed the servant to the room.

Ye Wenjun just stood there calmly; as Fang Yu silently passed by her, she merely glanced briefly and saw a sight that surprised and embarrassed her—

Eyes red with blood vessels, a head full of sweat, a tired face, as if even walking had become difficult!

In that moment, Ye Wenjun felt as if her heart was pricked by something, but she couldn't identify the feeling.

Inside the room.

Fang Yu locked the door from the inside and promptly climbed onto the bed, sitting cross-legged.

Shortly after, his entire body floated above the bed... Inner Essence regenerating rapidly.

...

In the old master's sickroom.

Ye Wenjun saw the great grandfather's good recovery, her face full of smiles.

But as Ye Wenjun's great grandfather, how could he possibly fail to notice that she was troubled?

"Wenjun, what do you think of Fang Yu?" the old man asked.

"He?"

Ye Wenjun didn't pass judgment and, after thinking for a moment, didn't know how to start, so she countered, "Great grandfather, what do you think of him?"

The old man's gaze was profound as he said, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"The truth," Ye Wenjun said.

The old man smiled, sighed, and said, "He is outstanding."

"Great grandfather, can't you see that he was just putting on an act earlier?" Ye Wenjun couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Acting?"

The old man burst into hearty laughter and then said, "In my lifetime, I've seen countless people, some right and some mistaken. But this Fang Yu... I will definitely not misjudge him."

Hearing her great grandfather speak like this, Ye Wenjun chose not to argue any further.

"Great grandfather, let's not talk about him anymore. He saved you, and I will thank him properly on behalf of the Ye Family," Ye Wenjun tried to change the subject, "As long as great grandfather is well, our Ye Family won't fall."

"Little girl, always trying to sweet-talk me, although I am a Martial Artist of the Fifth Layer Heaven... it's a pity I am getting on in years, and most of my Inner Strength has already dissipated," the old man said with a face full of vicissitudes.

Time spares no one, not even Martial Artists.

"At least the Hidden Dragon Team still listens to you," Ye Wenjun said.

"The Hidden Dragon Team?" The old man had been ill for a long time and hadn't gotten involved in family affairs, "Didn't I hand it over to the Zhong brothers long ago? They are high-level experts in the Middle Stage of the Martial Arts Fifth Layer, enough to deter the Hidden Dragon Team."

Ye Wenjun sighed and said, "Among the four protectors of Hidden Dragon, Nie Wu and Nie Ning, have broken through to the Martial Arts Fifth Layer earlier this year."

Hearing this, the old man's eyes flickered with joy and said, "Isn't that excellent? It's time for the Ye Family to revitalize its might!"

"I didn't want to tell you about these things. After Nie Wu and Nie Ning, the two protectors, made their breakthrough, they seem... indecisive," Ye Wenjun said worriedly.

"How dare they! If it hadn't been for my pity back then, would I have saved them? Now that they have grown wings, they turn into ingrates?" the old man's eyes glared fiercely.

Ye Wenjun quickly patted his back.

"The Ye Family has fallen to this state today, most likely involving the four protectors... but it's hard without proof. If it weren't for the two Grandpa Zhongs holding the fort, the Ye Family would have..." Ye Wenjun's eyes reddened as she spoke, "My dad was secretly injured at the beginning of this year, and to seek a breakthrough, he had to go to Jiangzhou..."

The old man sighed and said, "It's been tough on Xing Kong; supporting the entire Ye Family alone is truly not easy."

Unexpectedly, having been sick for so long, the changes in the Ye Family were far more severe than he imagined.

Just then—

From outside the courtyard, a cheerful voice came:

"Cousin, cousin... I'm here to see great grandfather!"

It was Ye Mengmeng!

Ye Wenjun's expression changed slightly, what is he doing here?

While talking, Ye Mengmeng had already reached the doorway, holding some fruit.

"Cousin, I just knew you were here... How is great grandfather today?"

Seeing that great grandfather's complexion was normal and he was sitting on the bed chatting and laughing with Ye Wenjun, a flash of surprise crossed Ye Mengmeng's eyes, but he still happily said, "Great grandfather, you look much better today!"

The old man's tiger-like eyes stared at Ye Mengmeng and asked, "Mengmeng... what are you doing here?"

"Great grandfather, I'm here to see you?"

"See me?"

Ye Mengmeng smiled and said, "Yes. I was actually heading to cousin's company, but hearing that cousin was in a hurry, I feared something might happen, so I came."

Hearing this, Ye Wenjun's eyebrows slightly furrowed; the fact that Ye Mengmeng had a clear grasp of her whereabouts indicated there were quite a few spies close to her.

"Soon, the two Uncle Nie's will also be here," Ye Mengmeng declared surprisingly.

"Nie Wu and Nie Ning?" the old man questioned in confusion, "They should be busy managing Hidden Dragon, what are they doing coming here?"

"Great grandfather, you've been ill for too long. Grandpa Zhong has been keeping a good eye on the Hidden Dragon Team, it's not their turn... He came just to see how you are recovering. Uncle Nie asked me to convey that he broke through to the Martial Arts Fifth Layer at the beginning of this year, and if conditions allow, he would like to have a bout with you..."

"—"

The old man's pupils shrank.

Ye Wenjun's heart sank even more! So soon, they couldn't restrain themselves anymore? What was supposed to come, has finally arrived!
