"Alright then, goodnight to you both."
Seeing Li Mei's excited demeanor, the three women, though reluctant, could only leave.
"Erzhu..."
"Sister Mei, don't misunderstand, I just don't want to sleep in the same room as them."
As soon as the door closed, Li Mei eagerly began to question him, but before she could finish, she heard Er Zhu's reply.
So, it wasn't because he agreed to her, but simply because he wanted to use her as a shield.
Li Mei's excitement vanished instantly, a flicker of disappointment and loneliness in her eyes.
"Mm, alright, if people knew you were sleeping in the same room with three women, it would truly cause chaos in the world."
Suppressing the bitterness in her heart, Li Mei nodded slightly and also left.
Watching Li Mei's lonely retreating figure, a pang of heartache flashed in Er Zhu's eyes. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately remained silent.
Meeting the right person at the wrong time was truly a torment.
After casting a deep look in the direction Li Mei had gone, Er Zhu finally composed himself and began to cultivate.
It was midnight, the time when spiritual energy was at its peak!
With this surging spiritual energy, he was certain to break through to the second level of the Feng Shui Secret Art!
*Hoo...*
The four copper coins emitted a dazzling silver-white spiritual light, and Er Zhu felt a warmth spread through his body. The spiritual energy within him surged as if it were about to burst forth!
*Boom!*
It was like a thunderclap in his mind. The spiritual light from the four copper coins blazed to its zenith, illuminating the room as if it were daylight!
In the blink of an eye, dawn broke. Er Zhu completed a final posture and slowly opened his eyes.
After a night of cultivation, he had finally broken through to the second level of the Feng Shui Secret Art!
Yet, this only signified mastery of the basics!
Even with this basic level, ordinary evil spirits and demons could not harm him!
*Ding-a-ling...*
Just then, the piercing ring of a mobile phone sounded. Er Zhu saw the name 'Zhou Ling' on the screen and quickly answered.
"Mr. Wang, hurry over, Yuchen is spitting blood!"
As soon as the call connected, Zhou Ling's anxious voice, seemingly on the verge of tears, came from the phone!
"Mm, I'll be there soon."
Er Zhu merely nodded slightly, his eyes still unfaltering.
"Erzhu, let's hurry to the Zhou family. Feng called to say Lu Yuchen is spitting blood!"
As Er Zhu was about to open the door, he suddenly saw Li Mei standing at the entrance, looking at him anxiously.
Before Er Zhu could speak, Li Mei grabbed his arm. The three women were just about to invite Er Zhu for breakfast when they witnessed this scene.
"Where are they rushing off to in such a hurry?"
Wang Xiaofeng blinked her large eyes, looking at Er Zhu and Li Mei's receding backs with confusion.
"I don't know, but I have a feeling something's wrong. We need to follow them quickly!"
Wang Xiaomei bit her lip and shook her head slowly. Suddenly, as if she'd thought of something, she quickly followed.
Lin Qingqing and Wang Xiaofeng, though not understanding what was happening, immediately followed at their fastest speed upon hearing the word "trouble."
Er Zhu was their favorite person, and he absolutely could not be in danger!
In the blink of an eye, Er Zhu and Li Mei arrived at the Zhou family's residence. In Lu Yuchen's bedroom, besides the Zhou family, Lu Yuanqing and his wife were also present.
"Liar, didn't you say he would wake up? Why hasn't he woken up, and instead, he's spitting blood!"
Seeing Er Zhu, Lu Yuanqing, in a fit of rage, tried to grab Er Zhu's collar to question him, but Er Zhu was too quick, and he missed!
"Because he's about to wake up, he needs to expel all the stagnant blood from his body."
Er Zhu glanced at Lu Yuanqing, his demeanor as calm as ever.
"Nonsense! Young Master Lu has no stagnant blood in his body. This is all your excuse!"
Just then, Lin Hetian burst in, his eyes filled with indignation, yet a hint of triumph and cunning flickered within them. It was as if he were saying: 'So what if he's a divine doctor? Even divine doctors make misdiagnoses, and today is their day for revenge!'
"Dr. Lin, have you forgotten that Mr. Wang is Elder Feng's adopted son? Are you trying to defy Elder Feng?"
Before Er Zhu could speak, Zhou Ling, with a furrowed brow, stepped forward.
Regarding Lin Hetian, if he weren't Elder Feng's disciple, she wouldn't have tolerated him this long!
"What if he's my master's adopted son? He still has to pay the price for killing someone!"
Lin Hetian sneered, glancing disdainfully at Er Zhu, a faint smile playing on his lips.
As Elder Feng's disciple, Lin Hetian naturally knew that his master always doted on his relatives, but he doted not on the person, but on their talent!
Wang Er Zhu, this so-called divine doctor, had fallen from grace. He was certain that his master would no longer favor him.
Thinking of this, the smile on Lin Hetian's lips widened. He could already envision his master disowning Wang Er Zhu.
"Mr. Wang, do you want to turn yourself in to the police, or shall I escort you?"
Lin Hetian was about to say more when Zhou Feng slowly walked in, a wide smile on his face.
"Cough, cough..."
Er Zhu remained silent. Just as Lu Yuanqing and the others were about to speak, they were surprised by faint coughing sounds.
Instantly, everyone looked at Lu Yuchen, who gazed at everyone with a pale face!
Although he was very weak, he had indeed woken up!
Silence fell upon the room. Everyone's eyes were filled with shock!
A flicker of fear crossed Lin Hetian's shocked gaze. When he heard the news, he thought he could regain some ground, but unexpectedly, he had offended them even more thoroughly!
"Mr. Wang, I... I was just joking. I'll leave now!"
Recalling his master's angry roar that day and seeing Lu Yuchen's eyes, Lin Hetian frantically pleaded for mercy.
"From today onwards, you are no longer Elder Feng's disciple!"
Er Zhu showed him no leniency, and with a mere casual sentence, he cast Lin Hetian into an abyss.
Lin Hetian's current achievements were all due to him being Elder Feng's disciple. But if he were expelled from his master's tutelage, it would mean losing everything!
Lin Hetian clenched his jaw tightly. He wanted to argue, even to complain to his master, but his master's words kept echoing in his mind.
His master would no longer care about him!
"Wang Er Zhu, don't get too smug. I'll see if Master can protect you for your whole life!"
There were so many things he wanted to say, but in the end, Lin Hetian could only utter this one sentence before storming out. Yet, Er Zhu didn't even spare him a glance!
"It was... you who saved me?"
Just then, Lu Yuchen's weak voice came from the bed. He clutched his chest, looking gratefully at Er Zhu.
"Yes, it was Mr. Wang who saved you. If not for Mr. Wang, Uncle Lu would have already buried you."
Before Er Zhu could speak, Zhou Ling, tears welling up, rushed forward. She clasped Lu Yuchen's hand, looking at him with deep affection.
He was awake!
Her Yuchen was finally back by her side!
Heaven knew how exciting this feeling of loss and recovery was!
