after some lengthy bouts of vomiting and diarrhea, guo zhenghe slowly became more alert. the first person he saw was his elder sister, who loved him the most. next, he saw wang yao, the person who he was most unwilling to see and disliked the most.

“zhenghe?”

“sis, i’ve caused you to worry. thank you, sir.” guo zhenghe’s voice was feeble because his body was so weak.

“phew, you’re finally awake.” seeing that he had woken up, guo sirou sighed with relief. “you scared me to death.”

“you didn’t tell mom, right?” he asked.

“i didn’t,” guo sirou replied.

“uncle xu?” he turned his head with much difficulty. he looked around and saw xu xinyuan, who had already woken up, beside him.

“i dragged you into this.”

“saying that would be too polite of you, young master,” xu xinyuan said.

to be honest, he was very moved. after waking up, the young master had quickly thought about his well-being. that he hadn’t followed the wrong person. all of his efforts had been worth it.

“find a quiet place for them to recuperate in peace and come back in two days,” wang yao said. his clinic was only available to temporarily treat the two men. obviously, he did not have the space available for them to recuperate.

“noted.”

guo sirou immediately called someone. before long, their men arrived. it was very simple. this was qi province, which was their father’s territory.

“thank you so much, sir.”

“you’re welcome. have a good rest. don’t tire yourself out.”

“noted.”

they didn’t go to lianshan county’s town center. instead, they went to stay in a villa in haiqu. it was not far away from the mountain village. it was less than an hour’s drive. it was very quiet and suitable for recuperation. moreover, there were specially hired personnel to take care of their daily food and needs.

“zhenghe, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere else?” guo sirou asked.

“i’m fine, sis. i feel better now,” guo zhenghe said. a rosy tinge had returned to his face. he did not look at all like when he had been in the mountain village. he had been so pale that it was frightening. still, his body didn’t have much strength. the severe pain had consumed too much of his spirit and physical strength.

“listen to me this time,” guo sirou said. “leave that place as soon as possible after you go back.”

“oh, alright,” guo zhenghe softly said.

“sis, take a rest too. you’ve been too tired today as well.”

“i’m not tired. take a short nap first. i’ll cook you a bowl of porridge.”

“don’t bother,” guo zhenghe said. “just let those other people do it. go and get some rest.”

at times like this, he thoroughly realized the importance of family affection. only his family members were the ones worth relying on. they were truly the ones most concerned about him.

“you take a short nap. i’ll go out now. call me if you need anything.”

“alright.”

guo sirou had been worried sick. that day, she had traveled all around. she was indeed exhausted. after returning to the bedroom and lying on the bed, she quickly fell fast asleep.

in another room, guo zhenghe was staring at the ceiling. he was fatigued, but he couldn’t sleep. he didn’t want to sleep.

he had suffered serious tribulations that had caused his family to worry and forced his follower to bear the risk of losing his life.

this matter absolutely can’t be forgotten like this!

miao xihe, he must die!

bang! bang! bang! loud knocks were heard from the door.

“come in.”

creak… the door opened. xu xinyuan entered the room. his complexion was pale.

“uncle xu, why aren’t you laying down?” upon seeing the visitor, guo zhenghe sat up with his arms supporting his body. he wanted to get out of bed, but he lacked the physical strength.

“you lie down,” xu xinyuan said. “you don’t have to get up. i just came to see how you were and have a word with you.”

“have a seat,” guo zhenghe said. “what do you want to say? you can wait until you are well to tell me.”

he now regarded xu xinyuan as one of his own. during this period, he grew to understand many things and saw many people more clearly.

“what are you going to do about it, young master?”

“what am i going to do about it?” guo zhenghe turned to look at the direction of the door.

“there’s no one out there. i’ve sent them away.”

“miao xihe must die,” guo zhenghe said. when he said those words, he was eerily calm. it was as if he was talking about doing something as simple as drinking water and eating. xu xinyuan heard the chilly coldness, which was as sharp as a knife, in his words.

“well, we’ll have to plan well for it.”

“uncle xu, what’s your opinion?”

“young master, i haven’t suffered such a big loss in a long time, and it had happened more than once,” xu xinyuan said. “if i still had my previous temper, i would have thought of ways to bomb that valley of thousands of medicine!”

that sentence clearly expressed his attitude and opinion.

“well, we’ll have to think about what to do, but i do have a plan.”

“tell me about it.”

guo zhenghe slowly relayed his ideas. xu xinyuan’s eyes brightened as he listened.

“what do you think?”

“wonderful, it’s simply wonderful!”

“but this man must be reliable,” guo zhenghe added.

“don’t worry, i’ll find this man.”

“alright, the first step is done. i’ll handle the second step.”

in this room, one man who could hardly walk and one man who could hardly stand developed a plan.

in the valley of thousands of medicine, thousands of miles away…

“what’s the situation?”

“they left the mountain village at a very fast speed,” miao qingfeng said. “our men wanted to follow, but they lost him.”

“they lost him?” miao xihe asked.

“yes, two of our men have also been exposed.”

“by whom?”

“i don’t know. they are probably from the guo family.”

“have others been exposed?”

“i don’t think so,” miao qingfeng said.

“alright, i got it.” miao xihe waved his hands.

miao qingfeng retreated.

zhao yinghao, who had stayed outside, rushed up upon seeing miao qingfeng come out. he hurriedly asked, “what’s the situation?”

“the chief doesn’t have any good plans.”

“shall we think about it?”

“how do we do that?”

“i probably know where they went.”

“do you think they went to that mountain village?”

“it’s probably that place,” zhao yinghao said.

“is that man is so terrifying?” miao qinfeng asked.

“yes,” zhao yinghao said. “now that i think about it, even if with my ability now, i wouldn’t be able to survive a round against him. i have no idea how powerful master and the others are, but that man ignites hopelessness in others!”

he is so young, so how did he gain such abilities? miao qingfeng wondered.

“shall we send someone to investigate?”

“to investigate or to die?” zhao yinghao asked.

“to investigate,” miao qingfeng said. “there are several people in the stronghold who have special abilities. it shouldn’t be a big problem. besides, you’re not sure that the guo family even went to see him.”

“it’s better to be safe than sorry!”

“master will not fail,” miao qingfeng said.

two days later, in the mountain village…

guo zhenghe and xu xinyuan received the second treatment. after the treatment, the two of them were able to walk, but their bodies were not completely recovered.

“alright, the poisonous insects have almost been eliminated,” wang yao said. “the next thing to do is to recuperate the body. come back in three days. i’ll do a checkup for you two then.”

“alright, thank you, sir.”
