Ye Kunlun's calm tone made Cheng Da's heart tighten, as if he had seen through his thoughts.
"Greetings, sir."
Cheng Da adjusted his emotions and saluted Ye Kunlun.
For a moment, he didn't know how to explain to Ye Kunlun.
"Seven years ago," Ye Kunlun chuckled, "my senior sister lived in the Zifeng Villa. You should know about it, right?"
Cheng Da certainly knew!
It was precisely because of this that he had dispatched troops to intercept Gao Hai.
Otherwise, based solely on Nalan Ming's words, Cheng Da would never have fallen out with Gao Hai for Ye Kunlun.
The great figure who appeared at Zifeng Villa seven years ago was only known to the Qingcheng military region; even the Qingcheng Governor's Mansion had not received any news.
Cheng Da also knew that before that person came to Zifeng Villa, he had rendered great service in the Eastern Sea Combat Zone.
That was a meritorious deed that shook the entire nation.
As the commander of the Qingcheng military region, he had keenly sensed that Ye Kunlun's identity was extraordinary, and even had some connection with the great figure from seven years ago.
As expected, Ye Kunlun was that person's junior brother.
Upon hearing Ye Kunlun's words, Cheng Da showed a look of fear on his face and quickly saluted Ye Kunlun again. "Cheng Da greets you, sir. If I had known you were that person's junior brother earlier, I should have come to pay my respects sooner."
"That's enough." Ye Kunlun looked at Cheng Da's obsequious demeanor with amusement.
Clearly, his senior sister had left a fearsome impression on him.
"Alas, I wonder where my ninth senior sister is now."
Ye Kunlun sighed inwardly, remembering his ninth senior sister who often played pranks on him when he was a child.
At that time, his senior sister was only fifteen or sixteen years old.
Thinking about it, she must have grown into a graceful young lady by now.
Recalling his thoughts, Ye Kunlun said to Cheng Da, "Although I've called off the troops, I'll still credit you with a merit. If you have any matters, come find me at Zifeng Villa!"
Hearing this, a flicker of joy flashed in Cheng Da's eyes, and he felt even more relieved. He hurriedly replied, "Cheng Da dare not, cough, cough..."
As he spoke, Cheng Da's wound, severely injured by Gao Hai, was pulled, and he couldn't help but cough violently.
Ye Kunlun chuckled, looking at the somewhat cunning Cheng Da.
In his opinion, although Cheng Da was cunning, he was a friend, not an enemy, and obeying his orders was enough.
"What is there to dare not do? I've always been clear about rewards and punishments. Your dispatch of troops to intercept the Jicheng military region is karma to me."
As he spoke, Ye Kunlun flicked his finger, and a green light entered Cheng Da's chest.
Instantly, the pain in Cheng Da's chest disappeared, and the congestion and difficulty breathing that had been there also dissipated.
"Thank you, sir."
Cheng Da showed gratitude.
Saying this, Cheng Da added, "Sir, Chu Tianxiong is not a magnanimous person. Although he claims it was a misunderstanding, it's still best to be careful."
"Don't worry, sir. If Chu Tianxiong dares to send people to Qingcheng again, I, Cheng Da, will surely fight to the death to repel him."
Cheng Da knew he only had one chance. At his age, whether he could take another step up depended on opportunity and luck.
For him, Ye Kunlun was the opportunity to soar to fame.
He had to gamble, and he had to seize it.
The moment he fell out with the Jicheng military region, he had no retreat.
"Oh? You think Chu Tianxiong, after losing two capable assistants, will still send troops to Qingcheng?"
Ye Kunlun wanted to hear Cheng Da's thoughts.
Cheng Da shook his head and showed a thoughtful expression. "Sir, it's easy to dodge an open spear but hard to guard against a hidden arrow."
"Chu Tianxiong, having lost Qi Xian and Gao Hai, will definitely not deal with you openly. However, with your strength, no matter how many people from the Jicheng military region come, they are still ants."
Cheng Da did not forget to flatter Ye Kunlun.
Ye Kunlun smiled and said, "The Jicheng military region is indeed like ants in my eyes. If Chu Tianxiong doesn't come to me, I will go to him. After handling matters in Qingcheng, I will naturally go to Jicheng!"
"Go back. Chu Tianxiong will not send anyone again in a short period."
At this moment, Cheng Da's phone rang. He glanced at it, then answered.
"Commander, Old Qin's condition has worsened. You must return quickly!"
A hurried voice came from the phone.
"What? How is Old Qin doing now?"
Cheng Da also became anxious upon hearing that Qin Xiao's condition had worsened.
He was an orphan and grew up in a welfare home. When he joined the military region, Qin Xiao personally selected him.
In Cheng Da's heart, Qin Xiao was like a father to him.
"The situation is not good. Old Qin has fallen into a coma. Hurry back."
The voice on the other end trembled, almost crying in distress.
"I'll rush back immediately. Hurry and notify Director Zhang to come over right away."
Cheng Da hung up the phone and looked at Ye Kunlun apologetically. "Sir, I'm sorry, but I have to rush back to the military region immediately."
"Old Qin? Qin Xiao?" Ye Kunlun had heard the entire conversation clearly.
Cheng Da was stunned, not knowing how Ye Kunlun knew Qin Xiao. He quickly replied, "That's right, it is he."
Ye Kunlun nodded and replied, "I can cure him. Consider it settling today's karma. Let's go!"
***
Although Cheng Da did not know that Ye Kunlun could cure illnesses, he did not doubt Ye Kunlun's words at all!
Half an hour later, Cheng Da and his entourage returned to the Qingcheng military region.
Because of Cheng Da's presence, Ye Kunlun was not subjected to layers of checks like last time.
At this moment, Zhang Jingtao had already arrived and was attempting to rescue Qin Xiao, who was in a deep coma.
In the room, Zhang Jingtao was administering acupuncture to Qin Xiao.
Fine sweat had already beaded on his forehead. Unfortunately, despite exhausting all his knowledge, he could not wake Qin Xiao.
"Alas!"
Zhang Jingtao sighed, his face filled with deep sorrow. "Notify Old Qin's family. This old man... is powerless!"
Cheng Da, who had just rushed in, heard Zhang Jingtao's words, his body trembled violently, and his eyes immediately turned red.
"Director Zhang, please, no matter what, save Old Qin!"
Cheng Da's voice trembled.
Zhang Jingtao shook his head, then turned around, only to see Ye Kunlun standing beside Cheng Da.
Instantly, Zhang Jingtao's eyes lit up, as if he had grasped a lifeline.
"Little, little divine doctor, you're here too!" Zhang Jingtao was somewhat excited. "Please hurry and save Old Qin!"
Zhang Jingtao knew that as long as Ye Kunlun used the Taiyi Xuanmen Needle, it would be no problem to temporarily keep Qin Xiao alive!
After all, it was a divine needle said to be able to snatch life from the King of Hell.
Ye Kunlun glanced at the unconscious Qin Xiao, a green light flashed in the depths of his pupils, and his brow furrowed slightly.
"His three souls and seven spirits are in a state of dissipation!"
Ye Kunlun said indifferently, and a golden light flashed in his hand, directly hovering above Qin Xiao's Tianling!
"Stabilize the soul!"
Ye Kunlun uttered a soft cry.
In his eyes, Qin Xiao's dissipating three souls and seven spirits instantly became stable and began to condense slowly.
This move once again stunned Zhang Jingtao.
"The Soul Stabilizing Needle can prevent his three souls and seven spirits from scattering, so there is no immediate life-threatening danger!"
Ye Kunlun said with a calm demeanor.
Hearing this, Zhang Jingtao breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Cheng Da's heart remained suspended, and he couldn't help but ask, "Sir, when will Old Qin be able to wake up?"
