I manage female characters in all the heavens.

He straightened up and added, "However, please don't blame me for being suspicious. During the treatment, I, Sect Leader Wei, and Senior Xie will need to be present to supervise."

"It's not that we don't trust you, but these are extraordinary times, and we have to be cautious. This is for the good of both of us, including the arrangements made by those people outside just now. I hope you understand."

He spoke frankly, his eyes clear, without any attempt to conceal anything.

Looking at him, Gongzi Yu felt a surge of admiration for this great hero of the Southern Sky.

Upright and honest, yet cautious, he is indeed a respectable opponent, but that's all he is—respectable.

"What 'both sides'? We're on the same side now, family, no need for formalities." Gongzi Yu waved his hand dismissively, his tone straightforward. "There's nothing shameful about my treatment process, everyone who wants to come can come!"

"As long as you don't bother me, we can move outside and have the treatment in front of tens of thousands of people."

So be it. Anyway, I really have no intention of harming Master Yan. I have nothing to fear if I am upright. It won't affect Yan Nantian's future transformation into her cultivation resources in a perfect state.

"No, no, it's not that bad!" Lu Zhongyuan refused the suggestion to go outside and treat his injuries in front of everyone.

He breathed a sigh of relief and a sincere smile appeared on his face: "Your Excellency's righteousness is admirable!"

Treatment began quickly.

Gongzi Yu sat cross-legged behind Yan Nantian, his palms pressed against Yan Nantian's back, and a pure and vast stream of true energy slowly flowed into Yan Nantian's body.

The true energy was icy cold but not bone-chilling, domineering yet obedient, carrying a strange vitality. Wherever it passed, the blocked meridians and damaged organs in Yan Nantian's body began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Lu Zhongyuan stood aside, his eyes fixed on Gongzi Yu's every move.

Wei Wuyuan sat in his wheelchair, squinting, seemingly lost in thought.

Xie Guiyuan stood with his hands behind his back, closing his eyes to rest, but the faint sword intent always enveloped the entire room, ready to unleash a thunderous strike at any moment should there be any unusual movement.

There are also dozens of top-tier experts from the Demon Extermination Alliance here. Young Master Yu has already said that we can watch, so why not watch?

Of course, the loyal Second Dragon Head, Mingyue Xin, was also guarding the place to prevent the group from taking advantage of Gongzi Yu's healing time to launch a sneak attack.

We're family, so we don't stand on ceremony. When something happens, we just go for it. No matter what we say, we'll stick together and take precautions.

Time passed by, second by second.

With his unparalleled skill, Gongzi Yu helped Yan Nantian sort out the various problems and injuries in his body. Yan Nantian's condition improved steadily at a visible speed, which made everyone very happy.

An hour later, Yan Nantian's complexion had become noticeably rosier, and his breathing had become steady and strong.

Lu Zhongyuan was overjoyed, but seeing that Gongzi Yu's aura seemed to have weakened, he felt that Gongzi Yu's power might have been almost exhausted, and he couldn't help but worry.

"Sir, you have been practicing your internal energy continuously for an hour. Why don't you rest for a while and recover your strength before continuing? Don't injure your body," Lu Zhongyuan advised.

Gongzi Yu shook his head, his voice tinged with weariness, but his tone was unusually firm: "Time is tight, and the mission is heavy. We have less than a month left before the final battle against the demon. There is no time to waste. Let's continue."

Lu Zhongyuan opened his mouth, wanting to persuade him again, but seeing Gongzi Yu's unquestionable attitude, he swallowed his words in the end.

He nodded to himself, feeling a surge of admiration for the great dragon chief who had devoted himself to the treatment.

Half a day has passed since the treatment began.

Gongzi Yu's aura was noticeably weaker, and fine beads of sweat even appeared on his forehead.

Lu Zhongyuan couldn't sit still any longer and spoke up again, urging, "Your Excellency, you've been practicing your internal energy for half a day now! If you continue like this, your body won't be able to take it! Please rest! I beg you!"

If this treatment continues, Yan Nantian might not cure Gongzi Yu, but instead exhaust him to death. He would never forgive himself for that.

"It's alright." Gongzi Yu's voice was a little hoarse, but his hands did not stop moving at all. "My martial arts are unparalleled and my strength is profound. I can withstand it. There's no need to worry."

Lu Zhongyuan was so anxious that he kept stamping his feet, but he didn't dare to interrupt the treatment for fear of making a mistake.

He could only stand aside, staring blankly as Gongzi Yu's life force gradually faded away.

Another hour or so passed. Gongzi Yu's aura had weakened to its limit, and his body even began to tremble slightly. Suddenly, he groaned, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, dripping down the edge of his mask to the ground.

"Your Excellency!" Lu Zhongyuan was shocked and could no longer care about anything else. He rushed forward, grabbed Gongzi Yu's shoulder, and forcibly interrupted his cultivation.

Gongzi Yu's body went limp, and he almost collapsed to the ground. Mingyue Xin quickly stepped forward to support him.

Seeing Gongzi Yu, who was utterly exhausted and with blood still clinging to the corner of his mouth, Lu Zhongyuan's eyes welled up with tears, and his voice choked with emotion:

"Sir! Why are you doing this? Are you willing to risk your life for the sake of Hero Yan?!"

Gongzi Yu leaned against Lu Zhongyuan's chest, weakly waving her hand, her voice barely a whisper: "It's nothing... I just... expended some energy... I'll be fine after a rest..."

The room was deathly silent.

Everyone was stunned by this scene.

This mysterious dragon head, in order to save a complete stranger, did not hesitate to greatly deplete his own vital energy, even to the point of vomiting blood...

What a noble and righteous act!

Xiao Yu'er, who had been taking care of the unconscious Yan Nantian as a junior, was also deeply moved.

Having grown up in the Valley of Villains and been educated by villains, he had never seen such a selfless hero, all for Uncle Yan.

He immediately knelt down and kowtowed nine times to Gongzi Yu, tears streaming down his face, saying that Gongzi Yu was simply the most benevolent and righteous man in the world. To express his gratitude, he wanted to become Gongzi Yu's apprentice and be filial to him.

Gongzi Yu looked at the young man in front of him, who was calculating with his abacus, and the corner of his mouth under the mask twitched slightly.

God's most righteous and benevolent words are unparalleled; please don't use that phrase, which Jiang Biehe used, on me.

And what a great idea you've got! You want to become my disciple and get all the benefits!

He weakly raised his hand and gently patted Xiaoyuer's shoulder: "Get up... A man's knees are worth gold... Don't kneel so easily..."

He'd be more likely to kowtow to me once Yan Nantian wakes up. You little rascal, don't even think about trying to get a powerful backer out of me!

Little Fish wiped away his tears, stood up, but the reverence in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

He was serious about being witty, but his gratitude was also genuine. Yan Nantian was practically a father figure to him; after all, Yan Nantian had gone to such lengths to save him, so he deserved to be thanked with great respect.

Xie Guiyuan slowly opened his eyes, and looking at Gongzi Yu's weak and frail appearance, a look of emotion appeared on his aged face.

He had lived for over ninety years and had seen too many hypocritical faces and too many people who sought fame and fortune, but this young man in front of him was the opposite. He was scathing in his words but chivalrous in his actions.

Although their faces were obscured, their spirit of sacrificing themselves for the greater good was undeniable.

What an outstanding swordsman!

Wei Wuya sat in his wheelchair, squinting at Gongzi Yu, a complex light flashing in his beady eyes.

He didn't speak, but silently turned his wheelchair and retreated to a corner, feeling ashamed of himself.

No one noticed that his hand, hidden in his sleeve, clenched slightly.

Gongzi Yu's brilliance was so dazzling that even a rat in the gutter couldn't lift its head.

The high-ranking members of the Demon Extermination Alliance were also deeply moved.

They whispered among themselves, their eyes filled with admiration and emotion as they looked at Gongzi Yu.

"Young Master Yu... although he claims to be no good person, his selfless act is truly a model for us all!"

"Yes! For a complete stranger, they were willing to greatly deplete their own energy, even to the point of vomiting blood! I am ashamed of my own lack of magnanimity and courage!"

"With the addition of two peerless masters, Gongzi Yu and Mingyue Xin, and with Hero Yan about to recover, that Demon Lord Yingri is doomed!"

Gongzi Yu, a peerless master, has gone to such lengths for the greater good of the world! I admire him greatly!

Lu Zhongyuan was so moved he almost cried. If Yan Nantian hadn't been unconscious, he would have dragged Yan Nantian to kowtow to Gongzi Yu. This was practically like being reborn!

Little did they know that Gongzi Yu's weakness was all an act, and he had no ulterior motive; he simply wanted to tease them on a whim.

Mingyue Xin supported Gongzi Yu, letting him lean on her shoulder, her voice filled with coldness and dissatisfaction:

"Young master needs to rest, please arrange a room."

Everyone seemed to snap out of a daze, and Xiaoyuer immediately jumped up: "I'll make the arrangements!"

Don't waste your time. No matter how much you try to curry favor, Lord Gongzi Yu won't accept your offer.

For the next two days, Gongzi Yu continued his intensive treatment.

He only rests for two or three hours each day, spending the rest of his time channeling his vital energy into Yan Nantian and regulating his meridians.

His breath grew weaker day by day, and his face grew paler day by day, but he never stopped.

The leaders of the Demon Extermination Alliance saw this and were deeply moved.

They discussed it privately, all feeling that Gongzi Yu was a breath of fresh air in the martial arts world, a true hero and a true righteous man.

Some even suggested that once Yan Nantian recovers, Gongzi Yu should be elected as the honorary leader of the Demon Extermination Alliance to recognize his contributions.

On the evening of the third day, when Gongzi Yu withdrew his palms and exhaled a long breath, Yan Nantian's eyes, which had been closed for three days, finally slowly opened.

What kind of eyes were those? Deep, bright, with a calm and sharp quality that came from years of experience.

He slowly sat up, his gaze sweeping over everyone in the tent before finally settling on the black-robed man in front of him, who was weak and almost collapsed.

He was silent for a moment, then stood up, bowed deeply, and said in a hoarse but powerful voice, "Your Excellency... I have no way to repay your great kindness!"

Although he had been in a coma for several days, he was not completely unaware of the outside world.

He sensed all the painstaking efforts Gongzi Yu made to heal him.

That determination to save him, even at the cost of his own life force, moved even a man as strong as him, who was used to life and death and had a very resilient heart, to tears.

"Yan Nantian will always remember this kindness. If you ever need anything from me in the future, as long as it doesn't violate morality, I will do my duty without hesitation!"

A swordsman's promise is as firm as Mount Tai!

Gongzi Yu weakly raised his head, looked at Yan Nantian's bloodshot eyes, and smiled slightly.

Although he couldn't see it through the mask, Yan Nantian could sense that it was a relieved smile.

"You're too kind, Master Yan. Just focus on recovering your strength to eliminate evil, protect the righteous, and save the common people. Don't worry about my personal favors; it's all for the sake of the world."

Such noble and virtuous conduct earned the admiration of the entire Demon Extermination Alliance leadership.

Yan Nantian clenched his fist and nodded heavily: "Rest assured! I will live up to your trust! Once I have fully recovered my strength, I will personally behead that Demon Reflecting the Sun to repay your kindness today!"

Gongzi Yu gave a weak smile and said nothing more.

He slowly closed his eyes, seemingly adjusting his breathing to recover.

Upon seeing this, Yan Nantian quickly led his men out, giving his own ward to the respected Young Master Yu, leaving only Mingyue Xin in the room to take care of him.

Once outside, he turned around and looked at Lu Zhongyuan and the others.

"Brother Lu, who exactly is this gentleman?" Yan Nantian asked in a low voice.

Lu Zhongyuan sighed and briefly explained the origins of Gongzi Yu and Mingyue Xin.
