Chapter 22: Heaven as the Cover, Earth as the Bed

"Not to mention, he's at the level of a war god, with his palm force being vigorous and overbearing!" As they exchanged blows, it felt like a raging river and surging sea within his body, his breath unable to stabilize for a long time. If it weren't for his Fourth Master, who was also a former war god, teaching him the robust and forceful military fist techniques, he almost couldn't withstand that blow. Even so, with the thunderous force in his palm, he barely managed to fight the opponent to a draw.

"The Great Xia Nine Provinces hides many talents; I still need to work hard!" Just then, there came a knock on the door. After bidding farewell to Li Yubai, Bai Weiyu, still worried, came up to inquire about the situation on Ye Feng's side.

"Ye Feng, are you okay? Did you get hurt?"

"It's fine, nothing serious."

"That's good. I won't disturb you further. Rest early."

Standing outside the door, after inquiring about Ye Feng's well-being, Bai Weiyu finally felt relieved and went downstairs.

"Hoo..." Ye Feng let out a light sigh. His breath still fluctuating, he couldn't continue practicing meticulously. So Ye Feng simply lay down on the floor, coincidentally with the roof above blown away, revealing a sky full of stars and the bright moon. Bathed in the pouring moonlight, Ye Feng slept with the sky as his cover and the earth as his bed.

A night without words.

Early the next morning, Ye Feng was awakened by the noisy sounds of things being moved downstairs. Getting up and looking out the window, he saw that the items previously moved out of the villa by the Cui family had been moved back in. At the same time, maintenance personnel were repairing the water and electricity facilities inside the villa.

"You all better work diligently, even more conscientiously than when you worked for our Cui family, got it!" Cui Youliang personally supervised the work, inspecting each floor. But when he reached the third floor, Cui Youliang was stunned.

"What the heck! How come the roof of this room has been removed?"

"Who's so ruthless, not even sparing this? What a demolition!" Seeing Ye Feng inside the room, Cui Youliang hurriedly explained, "Sir, this really has nothing to do with our Cui family. It wasn't me who did it! The items I moved out before have all been brought back today."

"I know it wasn't you," Ye Feng said seriously. "I did it myself."

"Hmm..." Cui Youliang suddenly had nothing to say. But he was still a little puzzled, thinking, How did he do that? Didn't he blast off last night?

"This repair is a bit troublesome..."

Cui Youliang estimated that they would need to call in a small construction team to fix it.

"No need." Ye Feng decisively refused. "You don't need to worry about this room. Just focus on fixing the other areas."

Ye Feng felt that an open-air room was quite nice.

Later, Ye Feng went to the dining room downstairs for breakfast. Before he could finish his meal, two familiar guests arrived.

"Wow, sir, you really live here? I thought you were joking yesterday!" Hua Guodong brought Zhao Wanting to visit.

"Mr. Ye..." Seeing Ye Feng again, Zhao Wanting felt a little embarrassed.

Because last night, her grandfather had just fallen out with the other party, and today she had to come to ask the other party for her grandfather's sake.

"Sit down." Ye Feng saw Zhao Wanting's worried expression and knew that it was probably related to her grandfather's matter.

"Mr. Ye, I've already arranged Su's job issue properly," Zhao Wanting said as soon as she sat down.

"Hmm..." Ye Feng nodded. "Let's get straight to the point."

"Hehe, sir, Wanting came this time to ask you for some advice." Hua Guodong took the lead.

"Mr. Ye, yesterday when you saw my grandfather, you said something about a dying person. What did you mean by that?" Zhao Wanting felt that there was no reason for Ye Feng to curse her grandfather verbally since they had no grievances, so there must be some hidden meaning.

"It means just what it says," Ye Feng said casually while eating. "He doesn't have long to live, at most three days."

Hearing this, both Zhao Wanting and Hua Guodong were shocked, especially Zhao Wanting, who couldn't accept her grandfather's impending death.

"Why?" Zhao Wanting couldn't help but ask, "My grandfather was fine before, why did he suddenly... become so ill?"

"I already explained the reason yesterday," Ye Feng shook his head slightly, but unfortunately, they didn't believe his words at all.

"What... is it?" Zhao Wanting racked her brains, unable to remember any important clues that Ye Feng mentioned.

"Sir, please don't keep us in suspense," Hua Guodong hurriedly asked, "What's the reason?"

Helpless, Ye Feng said, "It's because of that jade Buddha."

What?

As soon as these words came out, both of them were shocked, suddenly recalling that Ye Feng did mention the problem with the jade Buddha in the car. But unfortunately, at that time, Ye Feng just mentioned it briefly, and they thought it was a joke, so they didn't take it seriously.

"How could it be?" Zhao Wanting broke out in a cold sweat. "That jade Buddha... caused my grandfather's illness?"

The longevity gift she had bought at great cost turned out to be the culprit that killed her grandfather? If that's really the case, she would never forgive herself.

"Your grandfather is old, and his health wasn't great to begin with. Plus, with that jade Buddha, the evil energy entered his body, and he couldn't bear it anymore," Ye Feng explained simply.

"Do you remember last night, when your grandfather's face was flushed? That wasn't a good sign, it was more like a dying glow!"

"So I concluded that your grandfather's death is imminent!"

The more Zhao Wanting listened, the more shocked and frightened she became, realizing that she had missed the opportunity to save her grandfather last night.

"Oh, sir, why didn't you explain clearly such an important matter?" Hua Guodong sighed with regret.

"From the first time we met, I've mentioned it," Ye Feng sneered, "But did any of you believe me?"

Opportunity knocks but once. Ye Feng had kindly mentioned it twice, but unfortunately, no one believed him.

"Mr. Ye, since you know so much," Zhao Wanting suddenly thought of something and grabbed Ye Feng's hand, saying, "Do you have any way to save my grandfather? He's... really not doing well..."

When it came to the painful topic, Zhao Wanting burst into tears again.

"Of course there is a way!"

Ye Feng's Fifth Master was a renowned divine physician. Therefore, Ye Feng also learned from him the superb medical skills of reviving the dead and healing the wounded.

Although Mr. Zhao's condition was not optimistic, it was not difficult to pull him back from the brink of death!

"Really!?" Zhao Wanting's spirits lifted immediately upon hearing this, holding Ye Feng's hand tighter. "Then please, save my grandfather. As long as you can save him, I'm willing to do anything for you."

Zhao Wanting's hand was soft and delicate, but Ye Feng remained calm, slowly withdrawing his hand and saying seriously, "Saving lives is certainly possible."

"But my master once said that our rule of saving lives is: to save one person, one must simultaneously kill another."
