After the Tingtao Pavilion incident, Dongyang finally settled down.

When the Tianheng branch collapsed, its members scattered. The executed assassins brought to justice uncovered a series of old grievances against Tianheng in Dongyang. Although Zhao Hui managed to escape, Tianheng's reputation in Dongyang was completely ruined, and it would be difficult for them to recover.

The Lin-Zhu alliance reached its peak in prestige.

Ye Feng could finally focus on something that had been weighing on his mind for a long time.

On this day, Ye Feng invited Zhu Wanqing back to the Lin family.

"I've adjusted your constitution to the point where it's ready to heal completely," Ye Feng said earnestly, looking at her. "Today, I'll help you completely remove the knot that's causing your premature death!"

Zhu Wanqing was completely bewildered.

Her short-lived condition, "extremely Yin and of mortal descent, will not live past thirty," was a fatal flaw she was born with. It was only in this way that Zhu Hongsheng knelt at the foot of Nirvana Mountain to beg for medicine to save her life and to secure that marriage agreement.

Over the years, Ye Feng had gradually nurtured and conditioned her, and her complexion was in excellent condition. However, she never imagined that the knot that had bound her for half her life would one day be completely untied.

"Really...can it be cured?" Her voice began to tremble.

"Yes!" Ye Feng nodded firmly. "Although your extreme yin is of ordinary quality, your foundation is very good. After these years of nurturing, the deficiency has been almost replenished. Today, I will use my natal true qi as a guide to help you rebuild your meridians and nurture your foundation again. After that, you will become an ordinary person who can live a long life."

Zhu Wanqing's eyes immediately reddened.

Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside. It was Zhu Hongsheng, who was being supported by someone and ran in unsteadily.

The old man must have known that his granddaughter was going to be treated today, and he insisted on witnessing it with his own eyes!

"Young friend Ye..." The old man wept, gripping Ye Feng's hand tightly. His hands were thin and bony, and he could barely hold them. "Ten years, a full ten years... Back then, I knelt at the foot of Nirvana Mountain, praying for this very day..."

Ten years ago, holding his sick and weak granddaughter, the old man knelt in front of the gate of Nirvana Mountain, kowtowing until his head bled, begging that miracle doctor to give his daughter a chance to live.

The miracle doctor agreed, but at the same time, he also arranged a marriage that would cause a huge uproar.

For the past ten years, this matter has weighed heavily on Zhu Hongsheng's heart.

Now, the disciple of the divine healer is finally going to end this matter personally.

"Don't worry, Grandpa," Ye Feng said, taking his hand. "Leave it to me."

The treatment process is extremely dangerous.

Ye Feng inserted dozens of needles, sealing off all the major acupoints on Zhu Wanqing's body. Then, he placed his palm on her back and used the purest of his internal energy, the Peak Yang True Qi, as a guide to gently nourish and rebuild Zhu Wanqing's depleted foundation along her meridians.

That's an even more delicate and demanding task than "the living dead with white bones"! Reshaping a person's innate foundation—the slightest mistake could lead to the loss of all previous efforts and even death. Beads of sweat dripped from Ye Feng's forehead. His brows were furrowed, but his hands, gripping Zhu Wanqing's heart, remained as steady as a mountain, without the slightest tremor.

Lin Yuqing, Zhu Hongsheng, and even Lin Zhenshan, who arrived upon hearing the news, all held their breath and dared not utter a sound for fear of disturbing something.

More than an hour later, when Ye Feng slowly withdrew his hands, he was covered in sweat, his face was much paler, and even his breathing was much heavier. In order to repay the Zhu family for their kindness over the past ten years, he had almost exhausted himself this time!

But seeing Zhu Wanqing on the bed with a rosy complexion and balanced blood and energy, showing no signs of premature death, I smiled with relief!

"Alright." Ye Feng let out a long sigh of relief. "From now on, live a good life!"

Zhu Wanqing slowly opened her eyes and felt an unprecedented sense of ease and comfort throughout her body. The weakness and coldness that had plagued her for her entire life had truly disappeared!

She has been resurrected! Not in the sense of merely clinging to life, but in the sense of enjoying her full life to the fullest!

"Ye Feng..." She looked at him, a thousand words choking her throat, finally turning into two streams of tears and a heartfelt "Thank you!"

This time, she thanked him sincerely without a trace of resentment.

The engagement that was arranged because of her, the love that she had felt for but then generously gave up, finally came to a happy ending.

Ye Feng repaid the Zhu family's debt of gratitude and saved his own life. Zhu Wanqing put aside her love for this man, Lin Yu, and became his friend with whom she had risked her life.

Standing to the side, Lin Yuqing watched this scene, and her last bit of awkwardness vanished!

She had once been jealous and argued fiercely over this woman who was called her fiancé, but now, seeing Zhu Wanqing's pride and magnanimity in letting go of her tears, she truly admired this woman from the bottom of her heart!

Rivals? No! Two women who can live open-mindedly and clearly for the same worthy man should not be rivals!

She stepped forward and helped Zhu Wanqing, who was just able to stand up, surprisingly taking the initiative.

"From now on..." Lin Yuqing began softly, her beautiful face radiating genuine warmth. "Treat this place as your own home!"

Zhu Wanqing paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded. Her eyes, always proud, were also brimming with tears.

Two girls who once fought over a man, one found true love and a better life, while the other was reborn and regained her dignity. From then on, those melodramatic stories were over, replaced by a deep sisterly bond.

The two young girls' relationship ended just like that. One was his wife, destined to share his fate, and the other was their mutual best friend! There was no more melodramatic battle for his husband, no more awkward entanglements; everything was clean and open.

As Zhu Hongsheng watched his granddaughter regain her youth and witnessed the open and genuine affection between the three children, he couldn't help but shed tears. However, he was smiling, smiling happily, because the heavy burden he had carried for ten years had finally been lifted today.

The sun shone into the room, making it warm and cozy. After going through so many trials and tribulations, ups and downs, and life-or-death situations, this moment of peace and tranquility felt truly precious.

However, only Ye Feng knew the truth behind this calm.

The body that he had almost exhausted all his true energy to save Zhu Wanqing still had an unresolved death tribulation. Now, taking advantage of his depleted true energy, it began to stir restlessly, as if it had calculated that it didn't have much time left...

Their gaze turned northward toward the Nirvana Mountains.

"It's time to go back to that mountain." Ye Feng's eyes narrowed slightly. "Let's see if we can find a way to save me from this calamity, based on what happened twenty years ago."
