"Um..."
Slowly opening his heavy eyes, Ye Tian finally woke up after three days of unconsciousness.
Strong sunlight streamed in through the window cracks, somewhat blinding.
Frowning slightly, Ye Tian turned to look inside the room.
By the bedside, a delicate figure was nestled, with long hair like silk cascading over her shoulders, exuding a faint fragrance. However, her face, which was as delicate as a flower, appeared somewhat pale, clearly showing signs of fatigue.
"Xiaoshuang..." Seeing Cold Frost's appearance, Ye Tian felt a warm current rise in his heart. He thought to himself, "Xiaoshuang is already injured, yet she still came here to take care of me..."
Ye Tian carefully got out of bed without disturbing the girl who had fallen asleep from exhaustion.
Creak...
The door opened gently with a barely audible sound. Even so, Ye Tian still worriedly glanced back and, upon seeing that he hadn't disturbed Cold Frost, let out a light sigh before stepping into the courtyard.
Outside the house, the sun was warm and gently shining on Ye Tian, the soft warmth making him feel quite comfortable.
"Ah..."
He stretched lazily, enjoying the gentle breeze that brushed against his face. This wonderful feeling brought a comfortable smile to Ye Tian's lips.
Looking back into the room, the girl's lovely face came into view. Although her breathing was relatively steady, her pale complexion made Ye Tian's heart tremble slightly.
"I wonder how much Xiaoshuang has recovered..." After pondering for a moment, Ye Tian bit his lip and thought, "No, I need to go into the mountains to gather spiritual herbs for Xiaoshuang!"
With determination, Ye Tian stepped out of the small courtyard and headed towards the Cold Family's outskirts.
"Xiao Tian!"
After walking a few steps, he heard Cold Boyuan's voice calling out to him.
Ye Tian turned to see Cold Boyuan approaching with a smile, looking radiant as if there was some good news.
"Uncle Leng?" Ye Tian was somewhat puzzled; such an expression was rarely seen on Cold Boyuan's face.
"Xiao Tian, when did you wake up? How do you feel? Is there any discomfort?" Cold Boyuan, usually so composed, asked several questions in a row, his good mood evident.
Faced with the somewhat "uncharacteristic" Cold Boyuan, Ye Tian showed a strange expression and looked at him in confusion, tentatively asking, "Uncle Leng, you..."
"Don't worry about me; tell me how your injuries are healing."
"I'm fine; it's much better than I expected. I don't feel any pain or discomfort at all. Hehe," Ye Tian moved his limbs and smiled.
Upon hearing this, Cold Boyuan extended his right hand and gently reached towards Ye Tian's back. A faint golden light flickered as he used Martial Origin Power to assess Ye Tian's recovery level.
After exploring for a moment, Cold Boyuan nodded, but a look of surprise appeared on his face. He wondered to himself, "Has this little guy practiced some special body technique? How can he recover so quickly after such a severe injury?"
However, despite his doubts, Cold Boyuan did not voice them. Instead, he smiled lightly and said, "Xiao Tian, although you are recovering rapidly, don't think that your injuries are completely healed!"
Ye Tian was taken aback by this remark and thought, "I can move freely now, and my body feels perfectly normal. Anyone would see that I am as good as new. Why would Uncle Leng say that...?"
Seemingly noticing Ye Tian's confusion, Cold Boyuan patted his shoulder and said, "Try to channel your energy and see what happens. Remember, do it gradually!"
"Oh?" Ye Tian exclaimed softly, looking at Cold Boyuan with some puzzlement. However, he did not follow the latter's advice; instead, he sank his arms and forcefully channeled his energy.
Buzzing...
The barely audible resonance of energy echoed, but at the same time, Ye Tian suddenly felt a sharp pain in his meridians as if being pricked by needles. Following that, his energy began to leak out and disperse.
"Hiss..."
Under the stimulation of this pain, Ye Tian gasped in shock and looked at Cold Boyuan with wide eyes, hoping for an explanation.
Cold Boyuan seemed to have anticipated Ye Tian's reaction. He shook his head with a smile and said, "You stubborn kid; you just can't help but be competitive. Looks like you've learned your lesson!"
Ye Tian's face turned red as he awkwardly smiled and asked, "Uncle Leng, what exactly is going on?"
"You were injured internally by Xu Tai, which affected your meridians. That's why you experienced this unusual reaction when channeling your energy," Cold Boyuan explained. After saying this, he looked at Ye Tian with some confusion and continued, "This is normal; resting for about a month should allow you to recover on your own. However, what puzzles me is..."
Cold Boyuan paused again, looking uncertain about whether he should ask.
"What is it?" Ye Tian asked, but he could guess what Cold Boyuan was confused about. His internal injuries would take over a month to heal, yet his external wounds were recovering at an astonishing speed. Anyone would be puzzled by this situation.
In fact, this was not an unusual matter. With Jujutsu, Ye Tian's physical resilience was comparable to that of a Martial Master, which explained why his external injuries could heal completely in just a few days.
"Forget it, I won't ask. What about Xiaoshuang?" After hesitating for a moment, Cold Boyuan ultimately decided to drop the subject and shifted the conversation to Cold Frost's condition.
A hint of concern flashed across Ye Tian's face as he sighed lightly and said, "Uncle Leng, Xiaoshuang is sleeping. I couldn't bring myself to wake her."
"Mm..." Cold Boyuan nodded appreciatively.
"By the way, Uncle Leng, you should let Xiaoshuang go back. Her injuries are so severe, yet she came here to take care of me. I'm worried she might overexert herself," Ye Tian said anxiously.
"Sigh!" Cold Boyuan shook his head at this and sighed, "Xiao Tian, you know Xiaoshuang's personality. She insisted on staying with you; how could I persuade her otherwise?"
Hearing this, scenes of the girl's stubbornness flashed through Ye Tian's mind, and he could only shake his head helplessly and say, "I really can't do anything about her..."
"Hehe..." Cold Boyuan chuckled bitterly and shifted his gaze back to Ye Tian with a serious expression. "Xiao Tian, when Xiaoshuang wakes up, you need to pack your things and leave here overnight."
Ye Tian was taken aback by this and asked in surprise, "Why?"
"The news of your injury has somehow leaked. The informant I placed beside Wu Tianci reported back that he is very likely to make a move against you while you're recovering!" Cold Boyuan said with a grave expression and a hint of anger in his voice.
"This..." Ye Tian was somewhat surprised by the news. Wu Tianci had been silent for a long time; why did he suddenly want to take action?
Seeing Ye Tian's confusion, Cold Boyuan explained, "It might be because the Xu Family has collapsed, and he's feeling a bit anxious."
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian suddenly understood and exclaimed, "Uncle Leng, do you mean...?"
"That's right. This recent plot against Xiaoshuang was also instigated by the Wu Family!" A flicker of anger flashed in Cold Boyuan's eyes as he continued, "Wu Tianci is not only colluding with Cold Wu, but he is also secretly in league with the Xu Family!"
"How despicable! It must be Wu Xiaozhuang again!" Ye Tian had long been puzzled as to why Xiaoshuang and the others were targeted by the Xu Family when they entered the mountains. Now it seemed clear that it was indeed the work of Wu Xiaozhuang.
"However, the sudden downfall of the Xu Family has also made Wu Tianci restless. Right now, he is eager to eliminate anyone useful around me!" Cold Boyuan gazed into the distance, his expression deep.
Who were around Cold Boyuan?
Cold Bo Stone, Leng Bo Feng, Cold Yang, and Ye Tian. Currently, only these four could pose a threat to Wu Tianci. However, both Cold Bo Stone and Leng Bo Feng were powerful Martial Masters, so he had neither the opportunity nor the ability to act against them. Moreover, since Cold Yang lived with Leng Bo Feng, aside from Ye Tian, the others could only grit their teeth in resentment towards Wu Tianci.
But Ye Tian was different. He lived alone in the northwest corner of the Garden, and given that he had just sustained serious injuries yet possessed immense potential, he was someone that Wu Tianci would want to eliminate sooner or later. Why not take advantage of the current situation to get rid of him?
"In recent days, my brother Third Brother and I have been taking turns guarding you nearby. However, family matters are busy, and it will likely take you over a month to fully recover. Continuing like this isn't a solution. After thinking it over, we believe the best course of action is to send you to a safe place for now," Cold Boyuan explained to Ye Tian, seemingly worried that he might misunderstand.
"Oh, so you think I'm a burden, right?!" Ye Tian joked with a glint in his eye.
Cold Boyuan was taken aback by this response, clearly not expecting such a remark from Ye Tian.
However, when he looked at the smiling face of the other person, he suddenly understood and laughed, saying, "You little rascal, you’re actually making jokes about an old man."
"Haha." Ye Tian also laughed heartily, and somehow, the distance between the two seemed to close even further.
"Kid, you should go back and tidy up," Cold Boyuan said as he caught a glimpse of the recently awakened Cold Frost.
Ye Tian nodded and was about to turn around when it seemed he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Uncle Leng, you just said the Xu Family has collapsed..."
"Haha, you just realized that?" Cold Boyuan couldn't help but laugh out loud. Although the Xu Family was much weaker than the Cold Family, due to the presence of Xu Tai, a Martial Master, they could still be considered one of the Cold Family's formidable rivals.
It is important to note that in a small place like Spirit Martial Town, if a family can produce a Martial Master, they can definitely rank among the top families. After all, in the entire Spirit Martial Town, there are only about ten individuals who can reach Martial Mastery.
Among them, excluding Ge Lao Wai, the remaining nine slots are dominated by the Cold Family with five seats. Of course, Wu Tianci and Cold Wu can be disregarded, but even so, with Cold Boyuan, Cold Bo Stone, and Leng Bo Feng as brothers, they are still enough to look down upon Spirit Martial Town.
The remaining four slots are almost monopolized by the Wang family: family head Wang Tianba, his brother Wang Tiankuang, and the highly talented Wang Weiyang are all included.
The last individual is Xu Tai. However, just last night, with Xu Tai's demise, the Xu Family lost their only Martial Master. As a result, it seems that for decades to come, the Xu Family will be unable to recover and will fall into the ranks of third-rate families.
