Chapter 18

"Girl, what's wrong with you? Your face is very red..." Feng Jueyu didn't realize that the little girl had developed feelings for him. He thought she was daydreaming about some talented young man and teased her shamelessly, "Your expression is all wrong. Do you have a crush? Tell your big brother, and I'll help you vet him."

Li Tong'er's heart raced in panic. Did he notice? After hearing the whole sentence, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Big Brother Feng didn't notice; she had been scared to death.

Teased by Feng Jueyu, her face was still rosy and adorable, but the awkwardness in her heart disappeared. She tiptoed and pretended to be angry, "Pfft, Big Brother Feng, you're talking nonsense. You're embarrassing me. I won't talk to you anymore."

Tong'er, blushing, ran into the inner room, almost bumping into Li Yide who was coming out. The old man swayed to avoid her, looking puzzled and muttering, "This girl, rushing around like this, what kind of decorum is this?"

Shaking his head, Li Yide saw Feng Jueyu and became more spirited. He warmly invited Feng Jueyu to sit down, "Young Master Feng, you've come. Please sit down. Tong'er, bring some tea."

The two sat down, and Li Tong'er soon came out with a pot of hot tea, her cheeks still flushed. She poured the tea and then ran back into the room, not knowing what to do.

Throughout the entire time, Li Tong'er only glanced at Feng Jueyu a few more times and didn't say another word.

"What's wrong with this girl?" Feng Jueyu felt something was off. Yesterday, she was quite talkative, but today she was speechless.

Li Yide was also puzzled, "I don't know. She got up at the fourth watch this morning and has been sitting in the shop, lost in thought. Sigh, I can't figure out what's on her mind."

"Oh." Feng Jueyu sipped his tea, not paying much attention. He chatted with Li Yide for a bit, and seeing it was still early, he began the acupuncture treatment.

Tuberculosis can't be cured by acupuncture alone; it also requires herbal medicine. Feng Jueyu didn't need to worry about this; the pharmacy had plenty of common herbs.

To cure Li Yide as soon as possible and let him manage the pharmacy, Feng Jueyu used the Hongyuan Spirit Qi to subtly help Li Yide clear his meridians and remove his ailments during the treatment.

Li Yide was not a martial artist and was quite old, so he couldn't withstand the cleansing of the Hongyuan Spirit Qi. Feng Jueyu didn't dare to use too much, only injecting a tiny bit during the acupuncture. The white, substantial energy flow unknowingly helped Li Yide disperse the stagnant qi in several major meridians.

Li Yide hadn't felt this good in years. After the acupuncture, he looked radiant, and his gratitude was even more profound.

"Thank you so much, Young Master Feng. Without you, I would have met the King of Hell soon."

Feng Jueyu took a deep breath, his divine sense probing his dantian. His breath was full, and he felt no discomfort. He was overjoyed. It seemed that the Life and Death Unpredictable Divine Technique needed more practice to become proficient. Yesterday, he was exhausted, but today, after another acupuncture session, he didn't feel tired at all.

"Yesterday, you were already very polite," Feng Jueyu's personality was such that he would go to great lengths to help those he wanted to help, even if there was no benefit. He wouldn't agree to help those he didn't want to help, even if a hundred thousand troops forced him. One lived for a breath of air; no one could control his thoughts except himself. That's why he was known as the Evil Emperor in his previous life.

"Have you heard from Xiao Yuanshan?" Feng Jueyu and Li Yide fell silent for a moment before he asked.

Li Yide was very anxious about this matter. Hearing Feng Jueyu mention it, he shook his head, "It's not that quick. The southern part of the city isn't small, and finding one person is very difficult."

Feng Jueyu nodded. Just then, as if on cue, a burly young man barged in. It could only be Xiao Yuanshan.

Tong'er also came out of the room, wearing a bright, youthful floral dress. The little girl, who was worried about the old house, greeted Xiao Yuanshan with a joyful expression, "Big Brother Xiao, you're back?"

"Yuanshan..." Li Yide also stood up, feeling very anxious.

Feng Jueyu remained still, but his eyes showed a hint of surprise. The reason was that he saw the excitement and smile on Xiao Yuanshan's face when he entered, indicating that things had likely been resolved. This guy was quick; he gave him three days, and he found out in one night.

"Did you get it sorted out?"

Before the anxious grandfather and granddaughter could ask, Feng Jueyu spoke first.

Xiao Yuanshan was about to play a little game, but before he could open his mouth, Feng Jueyu guessed it. He was stunned for a moment and then grinned, "Young Master Feng, you're amazing. How did you guess?"

Feng Jueyu took a sip of tea and smiled, "It's all written on your face. Who couldn't see it?"

Xiao Yuanshan raised his large, bear-like hand to touch his face, embarrassed, "Heh, nothing can be hidden from Young Master Feng. I found the person."

Li Yide and Li Tong'er perked up, delighted, "You found the person. Young Master Feng, we should catch him and send him to the authorities. This is clearly fraud."

Li Tong'er spoke with righteous indignation, her chest heaving with anger.

Feng Jueyu swallowed and said slowly, "Catching him won't help. Even if we catch him, the people involved will use various means to destroy the evidence. In the end, the Li family's old house will still fall into someone else's hands."

"What should we do?" The three of them gathered, worried.

Feng Jueyu gave a sinister laugh, "Don't worry. Now that we've found the person, it's easier to handle. I have a plan."

As he spoke, he beckoned the three, who were puzzled, and they huddled together to whisper...

...

At noon, Feng Jueyu didn't return to the Shangguan residence but had lunch at the Li family's old house. The little girl cooked a fragrant white flour bun and a few dishes.

Tong'er had grown up with Li Yide, and she had excellent cooking skills. The dishes were delicious, and Feng Jueyu, the great killer, enjoyed them immensely, praising her cooking.

"This braised tofu is really delicious. Tong'er, your skills are top-notch. Whoever marries you will be very lucky."

Feng Jueyu treated himself like a family member, eating most of the dishes on the table. After eating, he patted his belly and praised Li Tong'er's cooking.

Poor children grow up fast, indeed. Tong'er's cooking skills were on par with the chefs at the Hundred Flavors Tower.

Tong'er, hearing Feng Jueyu's flattery, her round cheeks turned as red as ripe apples. She stammered for a while before whispering, "If Big Brother Feng likes it, I'll cook for you every day."

"Good." Feng Jueyu didn't notice the meaning behind her words and said casually, "Then I'll have to trouble you more often."

Li Yide, an experienced man, watched the two interact and his heart skipped a beat. "Is this girl in love? Oh no, I've invited a wolf into my home. Feng Jueyu is extraordinary, and he and the girl are not a match. If he hurts her, how can I face her deceased parents?"

"Cough, cough..."

Coughing twice, Li Yide saw that Feng Jueyu continued eating, and Tong'er's eyes never left her "Big Brother Feng." The old man sighed, "Girls grow up too fast," and shook his head, feeling helpless.

After finishing the meal, Feng Jueyu, the great killer, patted his belly, satisfied, and said, "Great. If I can eat Tong'er's cooking every day, I wouldn't trade it for being a god."

Tong'er's face turned even redder, and the old man could only laugh awkwardly, silent. What could he say to his benefactor? Could he say no?

After eating and drinking, Feng Jueyu still wasn't satisfied. He looked at Li Yide and said, "Old Master Li, there's one more thing. It's not convenient at home these days. Can I come here to bathe in the future?"

"Um, yes." Li Yide clearly wasn't paying attention and answered absentmindedly, then suddenly realized, "What? Bathe... at my house?"

"Um, once a day."

"Once a day?" Li Yide was speechless. What did this guy mean? Bathe at my house in broad daylight? I have a young, unmarried girl at home.

Looking at Li Tong'er, the girl was actually secretly pleased. Oh no, oh no, something's going to happen.

Seeing Li Yide's silence, Feng Jueyu knew the old man had misunderstood. He chuckled inwardly, "Old Master Li, I'm not trying to seduce your granddaughter. I have a family-secret medicinal bath that strengthens the body. I need to soak in a medicinal tub for half an hour every day. I have nowhere else to go, so I can only ask for your help."

"Ah! I see." Li Yide understood and remembered the toxic herbs Feng Jueyu had bought. He realized Feng Jueyu was a martial artist and felt guilty for thinking ill of such a good person.

Feeling guilty, Li Yide nodded and instructed, "Tong'er, clean out a room and prepare a set of clean supplies. Young Master Feng, if you don't mind, consider this your home in the future." With a hint of guilt, Li Yide prepared a room for Feng Jueyu.

"Home?" Feng Jueyu was slightly stunned, his heart touched. He felt a faint excitement.

Home, for Feng Jueyu, who had a glorious past, was a luxury.

How many times had he wished for a happy family...

With loving parents...

With a loving wife...

With simple meals and laughter...

Unfortunately, in his past life of thirty years and his current life of half a month, Feng Jueyu had never experienced the warmth of a home.

When Li Yide mentioned the word "home," Feng Jueyu's heart could no longer remain calm.

Li Tong'er, who had been silent and demure beside Feng Jueyu, also trembled.

Home, does Young Master Feng mean to live here? What will happen to me? It's good to see Big Brother Feng every day, but he is a dragon among men. Do I deserve him? Will he be good to me?

Li Yide's words made two unrelated people daydream, of course, he had his own thoughts.

Feng Jueyu's Return Heaven Needle was what Li Yide envied. Despite his old age and frailty, his passion for medicine was as fiery as the sun in spring.

In the courtyard, the three people each had their own thoughts, but their nature and intentions were pure.

Feng Jueyu didn't refuse, thanked him repeatedly. Just then, the sound of firecrackers outside caught their attention, drawing their thoughts away.

Why are they setting off firecrackers when it's not a holiday? Feng Jueyu asked.

Li Tong'er smiled slightly, opened the shop door, and saw a bustling crowd. Many elegant young men with fans were heading to the city center, walking in groups, chatting and laughing, looking very refined.
