The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 561: Nothing to Repay

Just as the major families in Capital City thought the Songs’ affair was about to cause a huge uproar in Huaxia Country, an invisible force contained the storm within the smallest possible scope.

In Capital City, many people with a bit of insider knowledge came to roughly guess what was happening, the reason why the Songs’ affair had not blown up on a large scale was because the old men at the top of the pyramid had reached an agreement. They knew that the matter with the Songs would gradually fade away, and the great family that had stood in Capital City for so many years, the Songs, would soon be forgotten in the long river of history.

In a guest room at the Ye residence in Capital City, Elder Bai, Bai Hongfang, poisoned severely, lay on the bed with his eyes tightly closed. With Ye Chenfeng’s current physical condition, he didn’t have the extra Soul Force to eliminate the poison in Elder Bai’s body. First, he could only use medicine to temporarily prevent the poison from spreading further, waiting for two to three days to fully recover before Ye Chenfeng planned to remove the toxins from Elder Bai’s body completely.

Apart from Ye Chenfeng and Bai Xueling, Ye Zhenhong, who had just finished a high-level meeting, and Wu Anguo were also in the room. Bai Yanxin, who was also suspected of embezzlement and bribery and had been taken into custody by the relevant departments, Bai Xueling’s father, was bailed out by Elder Ye and Elder Wu. Upon learning that Elder Bai was at the Ye family, Bai Yanxin followed them to the Ye residence.

"I have temporarily controlled the poison in Elder Bai’s body. He won’t have any life-threatening issues for the next ten days. After my body recovers in two or three days, I’ll completely remove the poison from Elder Bai’s body," Ye Chenfeng said after using his Soul Force to check on Elder Bai.

After Bai Yanxin was bailed out by Elder Ye and Elder Wu, he learned from the two elders about the recent misfortunes of the Bais. If it weren’t for Ye Chenfeng, his daughter Bai Xueling might have been violated, and if it weren’t for Ye Chenfeng, the Bais might have fallen to become dogs for the Songs, until all of the Bai’s power was swallowed by the Songs. Therefore, in his heart, Bai Yanxin was extremely grateful to Ye Chenfeng.

"Chenfeng, Uncle Bai really doesn’t know how to thank you. The last time it was you who cured my father’s terminal illness, and this time you and your Ye family have been so helpful to our Bai family. In the past, it really was our Bais who did wrong by your Yes! If it weren’t for Xueling being stubborn, perhaps you would have been my son-in-law by now," Bai Yanxin regretted deeply. In his view, Ye Chenfeng was exceptionally outstanding, and might even be said to be the best of the young generation in Capital City.

Bai Xueling, standing nearby, blushed slightly when she heard her father Bai Yanxin’s words. Her face showed a touch of embarrassment, and a strange feeling began to grow in her heart. Gently biting her lip, she thought, "Bai Xueling, what are you thinking about? Could it be that you have fallen for Ye Chenfeng? Impossible, absolutely impossible. The man you like is the masked man who saved you in the Taiping Mountain Range. He is the one you like."

As Bai Xueling experienced these unusual feelings, Elder Wu, Wu Anguo, spoke irritably, "Yanxin, you can’t be an ingrate! Haven’t you thought who bailed you out? You Bais better not set your sights on this youngster Chenfeng. Chenfeng is my granddaughter’s husband-to-be."

Ye Chenfeng already had many women by his side, and Elder Wu was worried about his granddaughter Wu Xiaofei. If Bai Xueling, considered the most beautiful woman in Capital City, entered the scene, wouldn’t that create another competitor for his granddaughter? In Elder Wu’s eyes, this was absolutely not acceptable.

"Uncle Wu, I was just speaking my mind! Don’t think too much of it," Bai Yanxin said awkwardly in response.

"Good, good, as long as you don’t have that idea! As long as you don’t have that idea," Elder Wu chuckled and nodded in agreement.

Elder Ye, Ye Zhenhong, was delighted to see his grandson Ye Chenfeng so sought after. There was a time when he had long hoped that Ye Chenfeng would bring honor to the Yes, but now, Ye Chenfeng’s achievements were not merely about bringing honor—they might allow the glory of the Yes to shine a thousand times brighter in the future.

...

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Ye Chenfeng’s internal injuries had mostly healed, and he was able, at least with the aid of medicine, to remove the poison from Elder Bai’s body without severely depleting his Soul Force.

Ye Chenfeng crushed the precious medicinal herbs he had bought from the pharmacy into juice, then mixed it with a special ratio to prepare an auxiliary medicinal liquid. He disinfected five silver needles with alcohol and fire before soaking them in that liquid.

Half an hour later.

Ye Chenfeng finally began the formal treatment of Elder Bai. Today, there were even more people in the room: Wu Xiaofei, Ye Dongjian, Ning Minyan, and Wu Kunming were all present.

Ye Chenfeng lifted Elder Bai’s clothes, revealing that Elder Bai’s lungs, liver, and kidneys had all suffered from the toxin’s corrosion. Therefore, removing the toxin from his body with the minimum consumption of Soul Force was an exceedingly detailed task.

Ye Chenfeng’s breathing was remarkably steady as he began to adjust his body to its optimal state, swiftly inserting five silver needles, soaked in medicinal liquid, into five acupoints on Elder Bai’s abdomen.

One by one, Ye Chenfeng twisted the five silver needles, first using Soul Force to drive the medicinal liquid wrapped around the needles into the acupoints, and then, with the aid of the medicinal liquid, began to expel the toxin from Elder Bai’s body with Soul Force.

As time ticked by, a multitude of sweat beads appeared on Ye Chenfeng’s forehead. Wu Xiaofei hurriedly dabbed at his sweat with a handkerchief, her gentle actions creating a tender scene that Bai Xueling observed with a sense of sourness in her heart. She felt extremely uncomfortable, but why did she feel this way? She couldn’t articulate it at the moment.

Twenty minutes later,

With a "Pfft!" Elder Bai suddenly sat up in bed, expelling a mouthful of black blood. His face, which had been pale during the expulsion, immediately began to regain hints of color.

Elder Bai, who sat up from the bed, had been in a coma for too long and felt groggy.

Ye Chenfeng removed the five silver needles from Elder Bai’s abdomen and used Soul Force to examine his body. He found that all the toxins had been completely expelled from Elder Bai’s system. Despite slight weakness, his body would fully recover after some care and restorative treatment.

"The toxins in Elder Bai’s body have been completely removed. I’ll prescribe a medicinal formula for you. Drink it for a month according to the recipe, and your body will be even stronger than before," Ye Chenfeng told Bai Yanxin and Bai Xueling.

Bai Yanxin, overwhelmed with emotion, grasped Ye Chenfeng’s hand, his eyes becoming slightly moist, and said, "Chenfeng, I truly can’t thank you enough."

A minute later, Elder Bai’s head cleared considerably, and he asked Bai Yanxin in confusion, "Yanxin, how did I end up here? What exactly happened? I feel as if I’ve been asleep for a very long time."

"Elder Bai, you’ve been asleep for more than just a long time. If it weren’t for Chenfeng, you would be at Yama’s Palace by now," Wu Anguo commented happily, seeing Bai Hongfang regain consciousness.

"Dad, the situation is like this..." Bai Yanxin explained everything that had happened during this period in great detail to Elder Bai. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Elder Bai listened with wide-eyed fury, especially incensed upon hearing that his second son, Bai Yanping, and third son, Bai Yanjun, had actually intended to marry Bai Xueling off to the crippled Song Bin, and then how Bai Yanping and Bai Yanjun’s sons had jointly conspired with Song Bin to commit an unspeakable act against their sister Bai Xueling. Elder Bai’s rage was so intense that he almost spat blood again.

Once he had calmed down, Elder Bai turned to Ye Chenfeng with a look of profound gratitude and said, "Chenfeng, you’ve now saved my life twice. Not only did you save me this time, but you’ve also saved the Bais. Our family truly can’t repay this debt."

"The Bais can continue to exist in Capital City only because of you, Chenfeng, and because of the Yes. In the future, even if it means sacrificing all of the Bais’ interests, we will unquestionably step forward to assist the Yes when they need us."

Elder Bai was a man of his word, and by making such a statement, it meant that if the Yes ever faced challenges in the future, the Bais would surely honor this vow. (To be continued.
