A master of both medicine and martial arts, he picked up a beautiful CEO as his wife.

After the family dinner.

Zhu Hongsheng managed to keep Ye Feng with him on his own!

The study was filled with the gentle fragrance of sandalwood incense.

Zhu Hongsheng dismissed all the servants, including Zhu Wanqing, who had always been by his side, leaving only Ye Feng sitting on the round stool on the couch.

"Young friend Ye!"

Zhu Hongsheng's withered hands gripped Ye Feng's sleeve tightly. His expression had never been so serious before. It was a heavy feeling of something he had been hiding for a long time and wanted to reveal. This heaviness was about to burst out. "The old man kept you here today to tell you something, something I have kept in my heart for ten years."

Ye Feng was startled: "Old man, go ahead and tell me."

"This child, Wanqing..."

Zhu Hongsheng said slowly, "You've examined her these past few days. I need to ask you the truth: can you help her get through the ordeal you're in?"

Ye Feng paused, his hand holding the teacup still.

He had been subconsciously avoiding and fearing this matter lately, but when the old man bluntly asked him about it, he had no choice but to answer.

Outside, Zhu Wanqing, who had been kicked out, stood in the corridor with her arms crossed. A night breeze gently blew, ruffling a strand of hair on her forehead. She didn't know why her grandfather wanted to keep her here and then send her away. She felt a vague sense of panic, as if there was something very important being kept from her. Something that happened behind that door was being quietly revealed!

I looked at the door, but still didn't dare to push it open!

These past few days, he's been helping Zhu Wanqing regulate her body. That extremely yin energy definitely exists—a genuine extremely yin constitution! But it's just missing a tiny bit!

too little.

It's not substantial enough.

That's not enough.

Unable to help Zhu Wanqing overcome his extremely fierce and masculine tribulation!

Every time I treated him, I had a feeling that something was wrong, but each time I let go of my doubts.

"Old sir," he said after a long silence, his face solemn, "I've spoken frankly, I'm sorry..."

"Wanqing is indeed a child with an extremely yin constitution, but..." Zhu Hongsheng spoke first, then finished the last half-word, his weathered tone revealing a knowing understanding and a bitterness etched into his bones, "Isn't that right!"

Ye Feng immediately raised his eyes, his eyes filled with surprise.

"Old man... I expected this long ago." Zhu Hongsheng sighed deeply, his cloudy eyes filled with regret and bitterness. "For the past few years, I've been deceiving myself, saying that it's because I'm not ready, that Wanqing is too young, that your cultivation level is too low... But when no one is around at night, I know in my heart that some things are destined from birth and cannot be made up for later."

Those withered hands trembled slightly!

"Young friend Ye, today I'm going to tell you something you've been hiding from me, something even Wanqing doesn't know."

"Ten years ago, when your Zhu family was rescued, your master personally examined Wanqing's body."

Zhu Hongsheng spoke slowly, each word carrying immense weight: "He said that Wanqing is extremely yin, and that she and you, the peak yang, 'seem to be a good match,' so he 'used this...to arrange the engagement!'"

"But... before leaving, he pulled me aside and whispered something for a long time!"

The old man's voice suddenly became very soft, almost inaudible.

"What did he say?"

Ye Feng's heart was pounding in his chest.

"What is it?!"

He shouted it out, and his voice was distorted.

But Zhu Hongsheng closed his eyes in pain, his withered hand pounding heavily on the edge of the bed:

"This old man...doesn't know!"

"I don't know, but he only said one sentence before someone outside the door threw something, abruptly interrupting him. When I asked him again, he suddenly changed his tune, just smiling and saying, 'If we're destined to meet, we'll meet again someday.' From then on, no matter how much I pressed him, my master refused to say another word!"

The old man's eyes were filled with ten years of regret as he spoke.

"That most important sentence has been etched in my mind for ten years." The withered old man gripped Ye Feng's clothes tightly, his fingertips trembling. "Back then, I was terrified that my eagerness for the medicine would push Wanqing and you down the wrong path as well. Young friend, I'm telling you what's been buried in my heart for ten years today, not for any other reason... but simply hoping you can find a solution, so you won't waste ten years like me before you understand its true meaning!"

The study was silent, with only the wisps of sandalwood incense rising and swirling in the light streaming through the window.

Ye Feng lowered his head and remained silent. He had traveled to the ends of the earth and witnessed many people's life and death. His specialty was maintaining a poker face amidst the towering waves of the sea. But now, the hand resting on his knee tightened slightly, and even rubbed the needle pouch at his waist almost imperceptibly. That was a subconscious, habitual action he would take whenever he was emotionally agitated.

His master's words were like gold and jade, and he had believed them as firmly as iron and steel as he had traveled all over the country in recent years. He believed that the one who could help him overcome his tribulation was Zhu Wanqing. This idea had been deeply rooted in his heart for ten years.

"But," Zhu Hongsheng swallowed the rest of his sentence.

But it was like a pebble that shattered the pond he firmly believed in, creating a ripple! For the first time, a crack was carved into the high wall called "Master's Command," even if it was only a tiny one!

"Ordinary Yin... True Extreme Yin..."

Suddenly, as if by some strange twist of fate, a face completely unrelated to him and an utterly absurd thought popped into Ye Feng's mind:

However, before this idea could take shape, it was suppressed by another deeply ingrained thought.

The master knows his people well and never makes a mistake.

The one who can get through this hurdle for him is Zhu Wanqing!

These were the words of my master, spoken with his own words and repeated instructions.

It must be because his mind was in a state of confusion, and the old saying in the last sentence affected his thinking, which is why he came up with such an absurd idea.

Ye Feng shook his head, suppressing his absurd thoughts.

"I've remembered what the old man said." He calmed himself down a little.

Although there was still a slight strangeness in his expression, he eventually calmed down.

As for those thoughts that he couldn't control, they completely disappeared.

That fleeting face left an indelible mark on his heart, one that could never be erased!
