Hidden Strength
Gong Yi fell silent for a moment, frowning as he glanced toward his son's bedroom door."That Li family boy could barely cultivate properly. How could he suddenly defeat Gong Cu?"He narrowed his eyes."The Herbal Tower isn't a place just anyone can enter. Even Dong Su failed, let alone Li Ye. If his abilities have truly changed, someone must be backing him."Gong Yi's trusted subordinate fell silent for a moment."Does that mean someone is helping that young man?"Gong Yi remained silent before giving a slight nod."It's possible. If what they said is true, I suspect Ma Yuan taught that boy a few tricks to protect himself. Even so, it would be a great disgrace to the Gong family if I had to intervene personally.""Then what should we do now, my lord?""Once he's recovered, let Gong Cu settle the matter himself. Keep an eye on him discreetly. If someone really is secretly helping Li Ye, you know what to do.""Understood, my lord," the man replied, bowing respectfully.Gong Yi nodded s
A Lesson Repaid
Li Ye silently followed Gong Cu and Dong Su. As soon as they arrived at a secluded place, he immediately stepped forward to block their path.Gong Cu smiled in disbelief when he saw Li Ye standing before them."Well, well, who do we have here? We were kind enough to let you go, yet you came to us on your own," Dong Su mocked.Li Ye stared coldly at the burly young man before glancing at the hand he had twisted earlier."Looks like Young Master Dong's hand is doing just fine, despite all the loud screaming you did earlier," Li Ye sneered."You didn't stop us here just to exchange pleasantries, did you?" Gong Cu interrupted, sizing Li Ye up. The young man slowly approached Li Ye, exuding an intimidating air."It seems the lesson I taught you before wasn't enough," he said, moving his fingers as if reminding Li Ye that he had once beaten him until he was on the verge of death."Oh, in that case, let me show you what I've learned from Young Master Gong's lesson," Li Ye replied sharply.W
The Provocation He Wouldn't Ignore
The crowd pressed Bai Lian and Li Ye more closely. Since childhood, Bai Lian had always covered her damaged face because she could not bear the way people looked at her as if she were a monster.Now, as people crowded around them and continued staring at her, those painful memories came flooding back.Bai Lian’s body began to tremble. Their gazes felt like knives.“Bai Lian? Are you all right?” Li Ye asked.The voices around her blended into a deafening buzz. She felt as though everyone was staring at her face and seeing her as a monster once again.Bai Lian’s vision began to spin, and her breathing grew shorter. Anxiety and panic overwhelmed her until she could no longer hear Li Ye’s voice.“Quiet!” Bai Lian shouted, gasping for breath. She covered her head with both hands, as if trying to block out all the stares and voices pressing in on her.“Bai Lian? What’s wrong?” Li Ye asked worriedly. The people crowding around them fell silent in confusion.“Is she crazy?”“Ah, is she scared
Accused in Public
In a private room in the Herbal Tower, Li Ye sat in front of Bai Lian to examine her face. Over the past three weeks, he had regularly monitored the progress of her healing. He smiled faintly when he saw that her skin had returned to its smooth, healthy state.“The results are excellent. Once this thin layer disappears, no one will ever suspect that your face was injured,” Li Ye said, praising the recovery of Bai Lian’s face.The girl smiled faintly. “It’s all thanks to you,” she said happily. Li Ye fell silent as he looked at her.“What is it?” Bai Lian asked in confusion.“Actually, when I first treated you, I thought Master Bai would be furious and come looking for me. But now I understand why he remained so calm.”Li Ye looked at Bai Lian seriously. “You hid the fact that you were receiving treatment from Master Bai, didn’t you?”Bai Lian immediately flinched in shock at his words.“I-I didn’t mean any harm. I, I just...” Bai Lian stammered nervously, unsure how to explain herself
Difficult Patient
The owner of the Thousand Treasures Shop smiled faintly and moved his finger. The ropes binding Li Ye came loose."Remember, a blood oath cannot be undone. If you break it, you could lose your life. I want to know if you're truly willing to take that risk."Li Ye stared at him sharply. Without hesitation, he channeled qi to his fingertip and cut into his other palm, drawing blood."I, Li Ye, hereby swear a blood oath. I will not do anything that could harm the current owner of this place, whoever that may be, as long as he does not harm me or the people around me," Li Ye declared firmly."If I break this oath, my body will be destroyed, and I will die a tragic death on the spot," he continued, tightening his grip.Swish!Li Ye was startled when the blood from his palm transformed into thin fragments that swirled around his body.Suddenly, an invisible pressure spread throughout the room, causing several objects inside the shop to tremble slightly. A few moments later, the blood fragme
A Blood Oath
Behind the shop’s worn-out counter, a man sat leisurely with his eyes closed, fanning himself.Li Ye stopped at the doorway and observed him for a moment. His fingers tightened around the small jar he was carrying before he stepped inside.A faint smile appeared on the Thousand Treasures Shopkeeper’s lips as he heard Li Ye’s approaching footsteps.“I haven’t invited you, yet here you are,” the man said without opening his eyes.Li Ye walked straight toward him and leaned against the counter separating them.“Senior came to visit me, so of course I had to come and thank you,” Li Ye said, causing the shopkeeper’s hand to pause briefly.The man opened his eyes and turned toward Li Ye, who was smiling at him. His eyebrows rose slightly, curious about Li Ye’s relaxed attitude.“My master asked me to give this to you as a gift, Senior,” Li Ye said, casually playing with the small jar in his hand.“A gift?” the shopkeeper repeated, eyeing the jar suspiciously. Li Ye gave a slight nod and hel
