When suddenly!

COUGH! GAG!

Before Uncle Liu could even step back to fetch the physician, Mei Lu's weak body suddenly convulsed in a small spasm. A sudden spray of thick, foul-smelling black blood burst from her mouth, soaking the bedsheets! The young girl's breathing instantly turned paper-thin, as if her life force could extinguish at any moment.

"M-Mei Lu?!" Uncle Liu gasped in horror, his face turning as white as a sheet.

"There's no time left, Uncle Liu!" Wang Chen interjected in a low voic

    Hearing his father's grave warning and killer intent, Wang Chen did not budge in the slightest. Rather than dropping into a defensive stance or cloaking his body in a wave of panicked energy, he merely drew a long breath and let a faint smile curl upon his lips—imperturbable, as though this duel were nothing more than a casual afternoon chat.Wang Chen smoothed out the folds of his robes and casually strolled across the wet grass, closing the distance to Wang Tian."Father..." Wang Chen called out, his tone exceptionally relaxed, yet carrying the weight of absolute sincerity."I deeply appreciate your intent to test me. However... if you intend to suppress your cultivation down to the 5-Star Initial Fighter realm just to match my current level..."Wang Chen halted his steps precisely three meters away from Wang Tian. His pair of golden eyes reflected the glint of the moon, radiating a depth of insight far beyond the limits of ordinary mortals."You will lose in a matter of a few moves

    Wang Chen paused for a moment. The deep, familiar voice from behind the door brought a warmth he had deeply missed, yet it was also laced with a profound sense of bitterness. After ensuring that Mei Lu’s breathing had stabilized and her face had regained a healthy color, Wang Chen straightened his slightly disheveled robes and stepped outside."Very well, Father," Wang Chen answered softly.Wang Tian greeted his son with a complex gaze—a mixture of pride, guilt, and overwhelming worry. Without uttering a single word in front of the residence, Wang Tian merely gestured for Wang Chen to follow him. They walked in silence, cutting through the corners of the Wang Clan territory until they finally arrived at a small hill on the border of the clan estate.Green grass swayed in the night breeze. From the peak of this hill, the entire Wang Clan settlement was clearly visible beneath the star-lit sky."This place..."Wang Chen looked around. Childhood memories suddenly came rushing back like w

Uncle Liu gasped in horror, his face turning as white as a sheet."There's no time left, Uncle Liu!" Wang Chen interjected in a low voice, yet heavy with an imposing authority that instantly rendered Uncle Liu silent.The golden gleam in Wang Chen's eyes flashed with sharp, towering dignity."The clan physicians would never deign to treat a servant branded as a thief by the Supreme Elder. And besides, if we wait any longer, the malicious Qi inside her will destroy her heart within minutes!"Uncle Liu froze in place. Wang Chen's words hit his consciousness like a splash of ice-cold water. The old man swallowed hard, staring at th

    Hearing the stern reprimand from his adoptive father, Wang Chen did not answer immediately. The golden gleam in his eyes, usually calm, now flickered with faint emotions—a mixture of disappointment and unshakeable resolve.Cradling Mei Lu's limp, unconscious body tightly in his arms, Wang Chen tilted his head slightly, looking at Wang Tian while gently shaking his head."Extreme, Father?" Wang Chen whispered, his voice sounding cold and slightly bitter."All this time, you have yielded far too much. Refusing to take decisive action has only allowed the Supreme Elder's faction to run rampant—rampant enough to torture an innocent servant like this." Wang Chen let out a heavy sigh, striving to suppress the surging frustration in his chest."I am not doing this out of blind emotion. But if I do not sever this rotting branch down to its roots, the Wang Clan will never know peace, and you will forever remain their political puppet."Wang Tian froze in his tracks. His adoptive son's words st

    Hearing Wang Ba's impatient and arrogant question, the faint smile on Wang Chen's lips slowly widened into a cold smirk that sent a chill down the spine of anyone who saw it."How do I plan to heal him?" Wang Chen repeated in a casual tone.Sreeeeek...Wang Chen flicked the sleeve of his long robe once more. From his spatial storage ring, a pure white jade box—far more elegant and intricately carved with a golden dragon—slowly floated out, landing right on the palm of his hand.When the lid of the jade box unsealed slightly...BZZZZZZT! WOOOOOOSH!A surge of pure medicinal aroma—many times denser, warmer, and more soothing—suddenly exploded, encompassing the entire square! A blinding golden light soared into the sky, burning away the remaining chilly aura in the surrounding air. Resting inside the box was a fiery red pill adorned with nine pure gold cloud patterns on its surface!"Th-This... The concentration of this medicinal aura..." The clan alchemist who had shouted earlier now so

    Hearing Wang Ba's relentless barrage of threats, Wang Tian's expression flickered subtly with inner turmoil. The threat involving the Main Clan Envoys was no empty bark; that internal political pressure had long been the chain binding his hands.I knew all along he coveted the position of Patriarch... But I never expected him to plot this far just to bring me down—even provoking all the elders so that Wang Chen becomes my weak spot! Wang Tian thought bitterely.However, before tension could tighten its grip over the square any further, a pair of casual footsteps echoed from behind Wang Tian.Wang Chen stepped forward. He now stood side-by-side with his adoptive father, looking at Wang Ba with a subtle smile laced with deep disdain."Becoming Patriarch solely by riding the coat-tails of your son's reputation?" Wang Chen’s voice drifted calmly, yet it instantly cut through the noisy chatter of the elders."You constantly glorify Wang Yu as the 'supreme genius' of this branch clan... You
