Chapter 745: Chapter 745

When Huangfu Ziyu rushed into Shen Family Manor, the people of the Shen Family were tidying up the things in the hall. This melee had not resulted in many deaths; most people had merely been knocked out by the Bone-Piercing Tendon-Softening Powder. However, the Shen Family's hall had almost completely been dismantled, so it needed thorough renovation.

Huangfu Ziyu charged in, and some Shen Family members saw her approaching but did not recognize her. A man came straight over and said, "Hello, you…"

Before he could finish his words, a red blur flashed before his eyes, and Huangfu Ziyu had already dashed to his front. With one hand, she grabbed his collar; her delicate, jade-like hand astonishingly lifted the man into the air against the forces of nature.

"Has the Southern Fist King returned? He... where is he now?" Huangfu Ziyu's voice trembled, her heart genuinely agitated.

"He... he's in his room…" This man was clearly frightened by Huangfu Ziyu and hastily replied in a trembling voice.

"Which room!" Huangfu Ziyu asked loudly.

The man hurriedly turned and pointed. Without another word, Huangfu Ziyu tossed him aside and ran straight toward the room.

"Hey, what are you doing…" Several men tried to intervene, but Huangfu Ziyu did not pause for a moment. As she approached these men, Huangfu Ziyu suddenly reached out and with one palm for each, she pushed them all away in an instant, running past them directly.

The men were stunned, realizing that together they couldn't even touch the hem of Huangfu Ziyu's garment; they watched her run past them. Looking back, they saw Huangfu Ziyu had already reached the door of the room. Surprised, they quickly turned and chased after her.

"That is a restricted area of our Shen Family; do not intrude recklessly!"

The men shouted loud, but Huangfu Ziyu did not even turn her head, barging straight into the room.

Inside the room, several people from the Shen Family were watching Shen Tianjun treating Ye Qing's wounds. Suddenly hearing the commotion outside, they were all surprised. People from the Western Province and Sha Men had left, so who could be causing trouble at this time?

They all turned their heads, and before they could see clearly, they saw a red blur rushing in swiftly. Their expressions changed, and the closest to the door, Shen Shi, cried out and reached towards the red blur.

Huangfu Ziyu twisted her body and dodged past Shen Shi, making his grasp miss.

Missing his target, Shen Shi's face changed. This was too embarrassing. Seeing that Huangfu Ziyu was still trying to run further inside, he shouted, "Where do you think you're going," and took a step forward, stretching out his hands towards Huangfu Ziyu's shoulders.

This time, Huangfu Ziyu did not dodge but spun around and punched, striking directly into Shen Shi's palms. The powerful forces collided, causing both to step back. However, Huangfu Ziyu only took one step back, whereas Shen Shi took three, making the gap in their strengths quite apparent.

Huangfu Ziyu did not pay further attention to Shen Shi but instead stared blankly at Shen Tianjun, who was treating Ye Qing. After twenty years, Shen Tianjun's hair had turned significantly grayer, but his appearance had not changed, still resembling the master from her memories!

It was only at this moment that the people in the room could clearly see Huangfu Ziyu's appearance, and everyone's expression subtly changed. Although Huangfu Ziyu had left as a young girl, they recognized her identity at a glance, and each of them felt different emotions.

Having been outwitted, Shen Shi was even more furious. He did not recognize that it was Huangfu Ziyu, and he swung his fist to hit her again. But standing nearby, Shen Er stepped forward, blocking his punch and said, "Tenth Brother, don't be impulsive, she is Zi Yu!"

"What Zi Yu?" Shen Shi still did not comprehend what was happening. However, upon taking a closer look, he finally recognized Huangfu Ziyu, his expression changing again as he said in a heavy tone, "So it's you!"

Huangfu Ziyu did not even glance at him, simply gazing quietly at Shen Tianjun. Always as strong as a demon herself, her face now shimmered with tears. Her seductive demeanor resembled a pear blossom bathed in rain, so delicate and pitiable that one could hardly resist the urge to wipe the tears from her eyes. Every frown and gesture of this woman was captivating, truly a vision of charm in every sense.

Seeing that Huangfu Ziyu ignored him, Shen Shi grew even angrier and said in a deep voice, "Huangfu Ziyu, you actually dared to return to our Shen Family. Could it be that you..."

"Tenth Brother!" Shen Er grasped Shen Shi's shoulder, interrupting his next words, and said solemnly, "Have you forgotten what Mother said?"

Shen Shi clenched his teeth and finally could only sigh in frustration, turning his head away. Back then, Huangfu Ziyu had killed their eldest brother, and that brother had been personally trained by Shen Shi, so his grudge against Huangfu Ziyu remained unforgiven to this day.

Shen Er pulled Shen Shi behind him, then turned to look at Huangfu Ziyu and said with a faint smile, "Ziyu, you're back!"

Huangfu Ziyu did not look at him either, still staring at Shen Tianjun. Shen Er looked at Shen Tianjun, then at Huangfu Ziyu, and sighed softly. He knew that among all the people of the Shen Family, the only ones Huangfu Ziyu truly acknowledged were Shen Qi and Shen Tianjun. Shen Qi was already gone, and now that Shen Tianjun was back, he wondered if it was possible for Huangfu Ziyu to forget the past grudges.

Shen Tianjun, for his part, had not turned his head at all since the beginning, simply placing his hands on Ye Qing's shoulders and slowly using his own inner strength to stimulate the effect of the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill inside Ye Qing's body. Once activated, the pill would swiftly repair the damages in various parts of Ye Qing's body. Most crucially, it could accelerate the regeneration of blood in his body, allowing Ye Qing to recover quickly.

As for transfusions, Shen Tianjun discouraged them. Because Ye Qing's body harbored so much of the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill's medicinal properties, if the blood produced by Ye Qing's body could gradually integrate these medicinal properties, it would be absorbed by the body, which was very beneficial for Ye Qing. However, if blood from someone else was transfused, though it could make Ye Qing recover quickly, it would not facilitate the absorption of the pill's medicinal properties and could waste this spiritual medicine. Everything Shen Tianjun did was aimed at the best methods for Ye Qing's benefit.

The past few times Shen Tianjun had helped Ye Qing were to repay the guilt he owed Third Master Li. But this time was different; now, he was helping Ye Qing because Ye had protected the Shen Family with his life. Had it not been for Ye nearly sacrificing his life and saving everyone with his blood, even if Shen Tianjun had returned, no one in the Shen Family might have survived. For saving so many this time, Shen Tianjun truly saw Ye in a new light, and thus would not hesitate to deplete his inner strength to aid Ye!

Undoubtedly, after this ordeal, although Ye Qing would need some time to recuperate, the benefits he received were immense. Losing so much blood, all needing to be replenished, if these medicinal properties could absorb all of the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill's effects, it could greatly repair the meridians in Ye Qing's body, a blessing rare for ordinary people!

After busying himself for nearly an hour, Shen Tianjun finally slowly released his hands and Ye Qing's breathing gradually stabilized. Although still weak, his breathing was stable, indicating no immediate danger to his life.

Seeing Shen Tianjun withdraw his hands, the anxious Shen Qingyi finally couldn't help walking over, wiping the sweat off Ye's face, and turned to Shen Tianjun with some hesitation and concern, asking, "Grandfather, how is Ye doing?"

Since Shen Qingyi could remember, she had never seen this Southern Fist King Grandfather whom everyone admired. Today, although she knew that this man was her grandfather, when it came to addressing him, she still felt a bit estranged.

Seeing Shen Qingyi, Shen Tianjun's face was filled with guilt and doting. Throughout these twenty years, he had been away with the blind daughter and had not returned to Shen Family Manor nor cared for his granddaughter for a single day, which he deeply regretted.

"Don't worry, he will be alright!" Shen Tianjun said, "He has just lost too much blood, is too weak now. He just needs to rest for a while and eat more to replenish his blood. Moreover, I also helped repair his meridians. Although I couldn't open up all his body's meridians, I laid the foundation. If he finds a way to open up his meridians later, having this foundation will make it somewhat easier!"

"Really?" Shen Qingyi was overjoyed, extremely worried about Ye Qing, so she didn't even care what others thought of her.

What she didn't know was that her actions towards Ye Qing were observed by everyone in the room. People of the Shen Family were both surprised and displeased — in their hearts, Shen Qingyi was their most cherished little niece, this Heavenly Immortal-like girl who had received blessings from everyone in the Shen Family. Thus, their expectations for her were high, and seeing her demeanor towards Ye now made their feelings even more complex. Although Ye had saved them, they all felt he was unworthy of Qingyi!

Huangfu Ziyu looked somewhat pale; she had initially focused on Shen Tianjun upon entering. But before long, her attention shifted to Ye Qing, whom she was actually more worried about.

When Shen Tianjun let go, she really wanted to go over and inquire about Ye Qing's condition. Unexpectedly, Shen Qingyi had asked before her. Moreover, seeing Shen Qingyi's attitude towards Ye, she clearly understood that this girl had feelings for Ye, which made her quite distressed. However, she bit her lower lip hard, forcing herself not to show her discomfort.

"You are the last of the Huangfu Household, carrying the hope of revitalizing the Huangfu family. You cannot be entangled by these personal emotions!" Huangfu Ziyu clenched her fists, shouting to herself inwardly. Each shout pained her heart a little more, but her gaze gradually became firmer.
