Chapter 198. The Pill’s Divine Power Leaves the National Physician Amazed
“Jiang Yichen, can that pill of yours truly completely repair Chu Xingchen’s damaged meridians? Is the Jiang family really willing to part with something like this?”
Qin Feng asked in disbelief.
Naturally, he did not believe that Jiang Yichen could take out such a divine treasure on his own. The only possibility was that the Jiang family had given it to him.
Just how deep was the Jiang family’s foundation? It was simply unbelievable.
Jiang Yichen nodded somewhat speechlessly. “Instructor Qin, does the Jiang family need to be willing to part with something like this? I can decide on my own.”
?!
Those words made Qin Feng even more certain of how terrifying the Jiang family was. They had actually allowed Jiang Yichen, their heir, to control such a divine treasure.
That meant the Jiang family did not care about this thing at all.
This… It was a divine treasure that others needed. No, even Huaxia needed it. Yet in the Jiang family’s eyes, it was handled so casually.
For a moment, Qin Feng’s mind could not process it. He could only first have Yan Zhongjing give the pill to Chu Xingchen and see whether it was truly effective.
The ward door opened, and the five of them gathered around the hospital bed.
Doctor Yan carefully placed the Nine Revolutions Soul-Reviving Pill, which glowed with a deep-blue light, into Chu Xingchen’s mouth.
Chu Xingchen, who was unconscious, made no swallowing motion, yet the pill melted as soon as it entered his mouth. A stream of deep-blue energy began moving through his body.
Yan Zhongjing immediately placed his hand on Chu Xingchen’s pulse, closed his eyes, and carefully sensed the changes in his body.
That deep-blue energy merged into all the meridians throughout Chu Xingchen’s body. As time passed, Yan Zhongjing discovered in amazement that the undamaged meridians had become even tougher, while the severely damaged meridians were being reborn like bamboo shoots after the rain.
A shocked expression slowly appeared on his face. He had practiced medicine for more than half his life, yet this was the first time he had ever seen a pill with such miraculous effects.
Yan Zhongjing slowly moved his hand away, and a smile appeared on his face. “Instructor Qin, he is no longer in serious danger. In at most one day, all of his damaged meridians will be fully repaired, and they will be even tougher than before!”
“The Jiang family young master has truly broadened my horizons.”
When Su Linyu and Tang Long heard that, their tense hearts finally relaxed.
“Brother Yichen, I, Tang Long, have drifted through half my life, regretting only that…”
“Enough.” Jiang Yichen reached out and pushed Tang Long’s chubby face away. “I do not have a foolish son like you.”
Tang Long: “…”
He silently turned toward the corner and began drawing circles.
Su Linyu covered her mouth and laughed quietly. “Brother Yichen, I have discovered that marrying into the Jiang family seems like I am reaching above my station.”
Hm?
Jiang Yichen was puzzled. “Why?”
“It is just a feeling. Brother Yichen gives people too many surprises.”
Jiang Yichen was speechless. He teased her, “So?”
Su Linyu tilted her head slightly and thought for a moment. “In the future, I have to treat Brother Yichen even better and learn more things so that I can become even more outstanding. Only then will I be worthy of being Brother Yichen’s fiancée.”
Jiang Yichen burst out laughing softly, charmed by how adorable this girl was.
Perhaps this was what it meant to be a Warrior of Pure Devotion, willing to become better for the person one loved.
Thinking back to several months ago, in everyone’s eyes, he had still been unworthy of the supremely talented Su Linyu.
Now, the reversal was a little too great. It was understandable that Su Linyu would react this way.
Jiang Yichen rubbed Su Linyu’s hair with a doting gaze.
Qin Feng and Tang Long were forced to swallow a mouthful of public affection from the side.
“Instructor Qin, where is Jiang Feng? Old Chu ended up like this in order to save him, yet he will not even come to see him?” Tang Long changed the subject.
When Qin Feng heard this, he thought for a moment and decided not to reveal for the time being that Jiang Feng had helped Zhou Yu trigger the beast tide.
At most, Jiang Feng would be locked up for five years. He would still need to establish himself in society in the future, so Qin Feng would try to reduce the impact of this matter on him as much as possible.
This was the only thing he could do.
“He took leave and went home. He said he missed home,” Qin Feng said.
However, those words made Tang Long frown, and indignation appeared on his face.
“Does that bastard even have a conscience? Old Chu was injured so badly because of him, yet he ran home comfortably by himself. That is really too much!”
Su Linyu was also a little angry.
A trace of coldness appeared in Jiang Yichen’s eyes.
For Jiang Feng, returning to the Jiang family after encountering an assassination attempt was the safest choice.
But he had left Chu Xingchen, who had been seriously injured and fallen unconscious for his sake, in the hospital and run off alone. Jiang Feng had truly wasted all the care Chu Xingchen usually showed him.
Why should someone like that still be kept around?
“Instructor Qin, I would like to apply to have Jiang Feng transferred to another group. Is that possible?” he asked.
Qin Feng froze, then sighed and smiled. “Jiang Feng no longer has any chance to return to your group.”
“What do you mean?” Jiang Yichen asked in confusion.
Qin Feng shook his head with a smile and deliberately kept them in suspense. “You will know tomorrow.”
Jiang Yichen and the other two frowned slightly, feeling very puzzled.
…
As dusk deepened, the bustling city of Central China was brightly lit.
Jiang Feng, who had changed into a custom suit, stood at the entrance of the Jiang Family Estate for a long time, not daring to step inside.
He was a failure, and no one would welcome a failure’s return.
Only after the sky had turned completely dark did Jiang Feng prepare himself to be scolded by his father and walk through the Jiang family’s gate.
He hesitated for a moment in front of his own home, then opened the door.
Jiang Dongnian, who was about to eat, turned his head at the sound. The moment he saw his son, he looked somewhat surprised.
“Feng’er, are you not doing your Military District Internship? Why did you come back?”
Jiang Dongnian put down the knife and fork in his hands and asked with a frown.
Jiang Feng did not know what to say. After holding it in for a long while, he finally said, “I missed home, so I came back to take a look.”
Jiang Dongnian’s expression turned displeased. “Home? You still have the face to come home?”
He was very dissatisfied with his son’s performance in the military district.
Especially after hearing that Jiang Yichen had used the beast tide Zhou Yu had triggered to obtain the military’s highest honor, the “Special Award,” he became even more dissatisfied.
He also thoroughly understood that the position of the Jiang family heir no longer had anything to do with Feng’er.
That filled him with anger at his son’s failure to live up to expectations.
“Father, I cannot compare to Jiang Yichen. He truly leaves me far behind,” Jiang Feng said with his head lowered.
SLAP!
Jiang Dongnian slammed his palm onto the dining table, startling even the maid at the side.
“You useless thing. I told you long ago that for the things you want, you must be ruthless. You cannot be soft-hearted.”
The things I want?
In the past, he had also thought that the position of Jiang family heir was something he wanted. But over the past month and a half, he had awakened to the truth.
That was not what he wanted. It was what his father wanted him to want.
Jiang Feng lowered his head and walked to the dining table. “Father, I cannot do it. This is not what I want either.”
When Jiang Dongnian heard this, the anger in his heart grew even stronger. After making the maid leave the living room, he glared furiously at his son.
“How did I give birth to someone like you? Your mother died in the hospital to give birth to you.”
“From the moment your mother became pregnant with you, she hoped that you would become the Jiang family’s heir. Now, seeing you so spineless makes me furious. Are you worthy of your mother, who gave her life to bring you into this world?”
“Get out and reflect on yourself properly!”
Jiang Dongnian shouted angrily.
Jiang Feng’s eyes trembled, and for the first time, aggrieved tears welled up in them.
He stood there for a long time, looking at his father’s resolute gaze.
Then he silently turned around and left the only home that had still held any place in his heart.
