Xu Yuan woke up in bed and opened her eyes to find herself in her familiar room.

"woke up?"

Zhang Ruonan brought her beautiful face close to his eyes, her eyes filled with joy.

"Brother, I hope you've finally woken up."

Upon hearing the news that he had woken up, Xu Nuo, who was outside the door, rushed in.

Before she could put down her cup, Xu Nuo stared wide-eyed at Xu Yuan's situation.

"Brother, how are you feeling?"

Is there anything that's bothering you?

Xu Yuan sat up and looked around; he had returned to Yunding Mountain Manor.

"How long did I sleep?"

"It's been three days," Xu Nuo replied immediately, handing over the water glass in her hand.

"Have some water."

Without hesitation, Xu Yuan took the water glass and gulped down a mouthful, gradually restoring his strength.

His gaze swept over Xu Nuo and Zhang Ruonan's faces, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"I'm sorry to have worried you."

"So you know how to make people worry?"

A pleasant voice sounded outside the door, and a beautiful figure with waist-length hair slowly appeared before Xu Yuan's eyes.

"Ninth Senior Sister?"

Upon seeing Xiao Qing in her white dress, Xu Yuan couldn't contain her joy.

Xiao Qing was his senior sister on the mountain. She came down the mountain six years ago, and he never expected to meet her here.

"Senior sister, what are you doing here?"

Xiao Qing sat down by the bed, took Xu Yuan's hand to take his pulse, and kept a gentle smile on her face as she stared at Xu Yuan's face.

"You little rascal, you caused such a commotion, how could I not come and see for myself?"

"At first I thought it was just someone with the same name, but it really is you, kid."

"The recovery is going well, there are no major problems now."

Xiao Qing raised her hand and tapped Xu Yuan's forehead, her face full of doting affection.

"You didn't even come to find your senior sister after you went down the mountain?"

Do you know how dangerous this was? How could you be so reckless by yourself?

Xu Yuan chuckled and scratched his head: "I just haven't had a chance to go find my senior sister yet, have I?"

"You."

Xiao Qing brought over a pill and personally fed it to Xu Yuan: "Swallow it, and you'll be fine after a while."

Zhang Ruonan, standing to the side, felt a pang of jealousy seeing this scene. Although the two were senior and junior, their relationship was far too intimate.

She's never been this intimate with Xu Yuan before, even when he personally fed her.

Xu Yuan looked at Xiao Qing and grinned foolishly. In front of his senior sister, he could feel at ease being a child.

A chattering sound came from outside the window, and Xu Yuan curiously glanced outside.

"What's going on outside?"

"They all want to visit you."

Xu Nuo said in a low voice, "Some people sent cars, some wanted to send houses, and some wanted to send all kinds of medicinal herbs, all for you."

She pointed towards the doorway: "Look, the Jin family even sent a maid, saying she's here specifically to take care of you."

Xu Yuan noticed the several respectful women standing at the door, got up, walked to the window, and looked out into the courtyard.

All sorts of sports cars, medicinal herbs, and furniture, along with a constant stream of delivery people coming to the door, were all handled by Uncle Wang.

"Junior brother, your reputation has really taken off in the industry now."

Many people want to see this extraordinary person.

"Senior sister is joking with me. I'm not some kind of superhuman, just an ordinary person."

"If my master hadn't ordered me to go down the mountain for training, I wouldn't have wanted to go down at all."

Xu Yuan looked out the window and called Xu Nuo over to give her some instructions.

"Go and tell Uncle Wang to return everything."

We don't want anything, we just want them to leave me alone.

"Oh, right."

Xu Yuan turned around and pointed to the maids at the door: "They've all left too. There are too many strangers in the house, and I don't feel comfortable."

"Okay, I'll go now."

Xu Nuo turned and left. Seeing that Xu Yuan and Xiao Qing still had things to say, Zhang Ruonan made an excuse and left with Xu Nuo.

The door closed, and Xu Yuan took out the alchemy furnace from his pocket. With a flick of his finger, two white beads appeared inside the furnace.

"Are these the soul beads of Moriji and Genki?" Xiao Qing guessed.

Xu Yuan nodded without hiding anything: "If this alchemy furnace hadn't shielded me, I'm afraid I would have suffered a serious injury."

"Here's one for you."

Xiao Qing looked at the two beads in the cauldron and shook her head: "You need them more than I do right now. Taking them will speed up your recovery."

"This thing is useless to me."

Senior sister refused, and Xu Yuan, without any hesitation, picked up the two beads and swallowed them directly.

As the beads entered his body, Xu Yuan slowly circulated his true energy to temper the two beads. The energy within the beads rapidly spread throughout Xu Yuan's body, repairing the damage within.

"This time, you'll definitely attract the attention of those above. You'd better be careful."

Xiao Qing gently reminded Xu Yuan, "There are good people and bad people up there too, so don't be fooled by their appearances."

"I will try my best to use my connections to minimize the impact of this matter."

"If we can't control those who already know, then we should try to reduce the number of people who know."

"Of course, even if I don't say anything, there will be people above who will intervene and prevent them from spreading rumors."

Too many people knowing might cause panic, and those in power definitely don't want that.

Xu Yuan nodded in agreement. Through the window, he could see Xu Nuo exchanging a few words with Uncle Wang in the courtyard. The people who had come to deliver the items began to leave.

"Alright, now that you're alright, I won't stay any longer."

Xiao Qing turned around to face Xu Yuan and reached out to help him straighten his clothes and hair.

"If you come to the capital, come to the Xiao family to find me."

"Are you leaving now?" Xu Yuan asked, somewhat reluctant.

"Actually, I've been here for several days now. I still have a lot of things to take care of in the capital. I'll come see you after I've finished my business."

Xiao Qing gently patted Xu Yuan's arm: "Don't hurt yourself in the future."

Xu Yuan nodded emphatically, gave Xiao Qing a brief hug, and watched her get into the car and leave.

Xiao Qing left, and most of the people who came to deliver things in the courtyard were also driven away, and the manor gradually quieted down.

Xu Yuan lay relaxed on the bed, exhaled a long breath, and recalled everything that had happened on the ridge.

Looking back now, it's a bit frightening. If the cauldron hadn't blocked the log's desperate attack, it probably would have lost a part. Fortunately, the outcome was good.

"Brother, it's time to eat."

Zhang Ruonan ran up in her home clothes and pulled Xu Yuan downstairs.

"I specially asked the hotel chef to prepare a delicious meal for you to nourish yourself."

She pulled Xu Yuan downstairs, where the restaurant tables were already laden with all sorts of delicious food.

"Brother Yuan, look, this is venison, please try some."

Zhang Ruonan stayed close to Xu Yuan, constantly putting food into his bowl.

"This is soup with ginseng. Have a sip."

Xu Yuan looked at the food on the table; almost every dish contained medicinal herbs.

"Isn't this a bit too much?"

"It's okay, it's too much. I can help you relieve your heat tonight."

Zhang Ruonan chuckled, and Xu Yuan spat out the soup he had just taken a sip of.

This girl is still as mischievous as ever.
