"Don’t you know I’m Dao Xuzi’s apprentice?" Yang Ruxin frowned.
"I know." Xu Shifei nodded, "But I sought out some famous doctors before, none could cure it completely, so I thought..."
"Heh." Yang Ruxin let out a cold laugh, "I don’t know if you’re smart or a fool."
Xu Shifei touched his nose, her implication should be that he’s a fool, right? freewebnøvel.com
"If it weren’t for me, madam, doing good and meddling in others’ business, Xu Zhengya, that silly girl, would be utterly lost, and you would die with regrets." Yang Ruxin stood up, "Luckily you’re in good health, so before I go to the capital, start coming to me for acupuncture tomorrow, you’ll be cured in about seven days."
"Madam..." Xu Shifei’s eyes were slightly red.
"Alright, don’t look like that; if you’re moved, then serve me well." Yang Ruxin glared at him, "Once you’re well, does it mean you can get married?"
Unexpectedly, Xu Shifei still shook his head: "Even without a hidden illness, I still can’t marry her."
"I’m telling you, Xu Shifei, you’re already a middle-aged uncle, can you be straightforward? Yes means yes, no means give me a reason. Just saying no is useless!"
Xu Shifei bit his lip: "Madam, can’t you refrain from asking?"
"No." Yang Ruxin frowned, "If you don’t have a proper reason, that girl might jump into the river. I can’t bear this responsibility."
"But..." Xu Shifei finally sighed, "Let me tell you a story, madam."
"I love stories the most."
Thirty years ago, in Hanzhong, there was a Leng Family who ran Leng Family Escort Agency. Because of their reputation, their business was very good, but they were envied by others. Twenty years ago, one day, a rival colluded with a group to massacre the Leng Family. Having poisoned the well in advance, the forty-plus members of the Leng Family could only be slaughtered, and blood flowed like a river.
At that time, the Leng Family’s young grandson was with his mother visiting their maternal relatives, thus narrowly escaping the disaster.
After that, the mother took her son and went into hiding, leaving behind a bloodline for the Leng Family. ƒrēewebnovel.com
However, when the child was twelve, the mother succumbed to depression which led to illness and eventually passed away.
The child was left alone, forced to continue hiding his identity while mastering his skills, hoping one day to avenge his family and kill his enemies. A few years later, he felt ready to seek revenge, so he went to the enemy’s house, but when he arrived, the enemy’s house was engulfed in flames. Just as he was about to leave, he heard the cry of a baby amidst the fire.
Without knowing why, the young man charged into the fire and rescued a newborn baby girl. From that moment, the two of them have relied on each other for life.
The young man adopted the name Xu Shifei and gave the girl the name Xu Zhengya.
"Madam, what I said before was all a lie to her. Given this, do you think I can marry her?" Xu Shifei let out a bitter laugh, "We’re enemies."
"It sounds quite dramatic." Yang Ruxin nodded, "But isn’t that the grudges of the previous generation?"
Xu Shifei frowned as he looked at Yang Ruxin.
"You’ve raised her, which means you haven’t minded whose child she is, right?" Yang Ruxin glared at Xu Shifei, "Moreover, look, the years have flown by in the blink of an eye, you’re past thirty now, how many years do you have to squander? While you can still love, seize the opportunity. Believe your family in the Spirit of Heaven also wishes for your happiness."
