"Grandpa, you're awake?"
A moment later, as the old man's eyes fluttered open, Fang Linfan and the woman beside him were overjoyed.
"Ruolin, Linfan?"
"What happened to me?"
As soon as the old man opened his eyes, he looked at the two familiar faces before him and asked.
"Grandpa, you forgot, you were a guest at the Xu family, and then you suddenly fell ill. If we hadn't met this gentleman on the way, you would have been in danger!"
"Bang!"
"Watch your mouth, Grandpa had a sudden heart attack, not 'fell ill'! I think you're the one who's fallen ill!"
"Grandpa, how are you feeling now?"
As soon as Fang Linfan finished speaking, the woman beside him flicked his forehead again. In pain, Fang Linfan didn't dare to resist, and could only cast a resentful glance at his sister.
"I feel fine now!"
"Young friend, thank you so much!"
"My name is Fang Wanhai, may I ask how to address my benefactor?"
Hearing his granddaughter's question, the old man carefully sensed his physical condition, then slowly stood up and cupped his fists in greeting to Zhou Xuan!
"It's just a small favor, nothing to mention!"
"I have only temporarily awakened you from your critical state. To completely cure your problem, it will take some time!"
"Sir, you mean you can completely cure my grandfather's illness?"
Hearing Zhou Xuan's words, Fang Ruolin was so excited that she almost jumped. She had originally thought it was good enough that Zhou Xuan could awaken her grandfather.
She had never dared to hope that he could completely cure her grandfather's illness, as they knew their own situation. They had consulted many famous doctors for her grandfather's ailment, all to no avail!
The treatment methods given by those famous doctors were only superficial cures!
"Yes, but it will take some time!"
"I need to take my girlfriend home now. If you wish for treatment, you can come directly to the Lu family to find me tomorrow!"
"Alright, sir, thank you for your trouble!"
Hearing Zhou Xuan's words, Fang Ruolin wisely agreed. Although she really wanted to ask Zhou Xuan to treat her grandfather immediately.
However, she was not someone who lacked propriety. It was already very good of others to offer help when passing by. To make further demands would be too greedy.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Zhou Xuan turned and took Lu Ling'er and Hei Hu back into the SUV, and the three of them headed towards the Lu family's residence again.
"Ruolin, this person has such medical skills at such a young age, he is someone worth befriending!"
"After we return, find someone to investigate his background. If his background is clean, we will prepare a generous gift and visit the Lu family tomorrow!"
"Yes, Grandpa!"
Hearing Fang Wanhai's instructions, Fang Ruolin obediently replied.
Staring in the direction where Zhou Xuan and the others disappeared for a long time, Fang Wanhai and his group finally drove their sports car away from the scene!
"Grandpa, I'm back!"
At the Lu family residence, as Zhou Xuan and the others alighted from the car, they saw Lu Mingyuan standing in the courtyard, waiting in a daze.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"
Looking at his granddaughter before him, Lu Mingyuan was filled with emotion. His own end was near, and he had nothing left to care about.
The only thing he worried about was his granddaughter, Lu Ling'er. Fortunately, with Zhou Xuan's help, things did not turn for the worse!
"Zhou Xuan, I really owe you this time!"
"Come inside with me, I have something to tell you. Ling'er, go and brew a pot of tea to entertain these guests!"
After the grandfather and granddaughter had a tender moment, Lu Mingyuan turned to Zhou Xuan and seemed to make a very important decision!
"Okay, Grandpa!"
Hearing Lu Mingyuan's words, Lu Ling'er, being sensible, did not ask any further questions and went straight to the kitchen to brew tea.
On the other hand, Zhou Xuan was stunned by Lu Mingyuan's actions, not understanding what he wanted to say that required him to keep Lu Ling'er out of it.
With a sense of confusion, Zhou Xuan followed Lu Mingyuan into a room. Upon entering, Lu Mingyuan directly locked the door.
"Elder Lu, what is this?"
Seeing Lu Mingyuan's series of unusual actions, Zhou Xuan became even more bewildered!
"Follow me!"
Lu Mingyuan did not explain anything, but simply left a sentence, then turned and walked to a bookshelf, picking up a book from it.
"Click!"
With a strange sound, the bookshelf in front of Lu Mingyuan automatically slid to the left, revealing a closed large door behind it!
"There's a mechanism hidden behind this bookshelf?" Seeing this scene, Zhou Xuan was secretly amazed, feeling as if he were watching a spy movie!
Ignoring Zhou Xuan's thoughts, Lu Mingyuan looked at the door before him, took out a key from his pocket, and opened the door, leading the way inside.
Zhou Xuan behind him hesitated for a moment, but finally, unable to suppress his curiosity, he followed Lu Mingyuan's footsteps through the door.
Upon entering, Zhou Xuan realized that this door led underground!
As Zhou Xuan and Lu Mingyuan walked down a long staircase, what met their eyes was a huge secret chamber.
The secret chamber was filled with many items, gold, diamonds, jade... these things, extremely rare in the outside world, were found everywhere here.
Without time to marvel at the scene, Lu Mingyuan led Zhou Xuan slowly to a stone table in the center of the secret chamber. On this stone table was placed a wooden box.
The wooden box looked ordinary, but Lu Mingyuan's expression became exceptionally solemn at this moment!
"Zhou Xuan, I asked you a question before, and I want to ask you again today."
"I am entrusting Ling'er to you, will you treat her well?"
"I will!"
Hearing Lu Mingyuan's sudden words, although Zhou Xuan was somewhat bewildered, he replied solemnly.
He had already regarded Lu Ling'er as his future wife, so how could he not treat her well?
"Good!"
"Since that is the case, today I will hand over the Lu family's greatest secret to you!"
"This is the Lu family's treasure vault. Everything in here are treasures I have collected from all over the world over the years!"
"This is so that if the Lu family suffers a great disaster one day, the descendants of the Lu family will have something to rely on for survival and the capital to make a comeback!"
"Now, I hand this treasure vault over to you!"
"Don't be too quick to refuse. Ling'er's nature is too kind. If I were to give it to her, I fear she would be exploited by someone with ill intentions!"
"Of course, this is not the main purpose of my conversation with you today!"
"Do you know what is inside here?"
Looking at the wooden box on the table, Lu Mingyuan asked. Zhou Xuan frowned and slowly shook his head.
"This box contains a ring left behind by a super cultivator who once reached the Ascended stage!"
"Although I haven't figured out its purpose since I got it, just thinking about the identity of its former owner tells me that this thing is definitely extraordinary!"
"Now, I am handing it over to you, along with this treasure vault!"
