Ling Zhenfei said, "It's all right, everything is over now. Does anyone know about my injury?"

He Lingxiu replied, "Yes, someone came to ask about you. I told them you've already gone to rest and we could talk about it tomorrow, so no one knows you're injured."

Ling Zhenfei said, "That's good. There won't be any treatment today, so I'll leave everything to you. I'll make some more elixirs and send them over to you."

He Lingxiu said, "Don't worry, Brother Afei, leave it to me here, you go take good care of yourself."

The two of them agreed on a story, saying that Ling Zhenfei accidentally set the roof on fire while refining elixirs, and Ling Zhenfei was willing to compensate for all the losses.

After everything was arranged, Ling Zhenfei called Chen Qian, taking advantage of the fact that it was still early and there weren't many people from the General Administration of Sports, and got Ling Zhenfei out of there early.

After leaving, Ling Zhenfei called the leaders of the General Administration of Sports from the car, explaining the situation. He apologized for the fire last night and was willing to cover the losses.

However, the leader of the General Administration of Sports said, "Dr. Ling, there's no need for compensation. That was a dilapidated building that we've wanted to demolish for a long time but never had the chance.

Your fire actually helped us a lot, besides, you've been helping us with treatment and refining elixirs for the athletes at night, and we're really touched."

Ling Zhenfei said, "It's my duty, but I need to leave for a while now, and He Lingxiu will continue with the treatment."

"Divine Doctor Ling, we know you're very busy, and you've already helped a lot of our athletes. We're extremely grateful, you go ahead with your matters, and we're honored to have the Little Miracle Doctor with us."

As expected of a leader, they really know how to speak well. After expressing his apologies once more, Ling Zhenfei hung up the phone.

From the front, Chen Qian, who was driving, said, "You were really lucky yesterday. My junior sister even said you were in danger and suggested precautions, but you didn't even use them."

Ling Zhenfei said, "They were too devious. I was already being very cautious, but I still fell into their trap."

Chen Qian said, "Forget it, you'll end up dying at the hands of a woman sooner or later."

Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "To die under the peony is to die as a romantic ghost, I'm willing."

Chen Qian said, "You're just all talk, I bet after this incident, your legs will tremble at the sight of a beautiful woman."

Ling Zhenfei sighed and said, "Yeah, this time I really felt it was close. If it weren't for the treasures I carry, I might actually be dead."

Chen Qian said, "Enough talk, where do you want to go to recuperate, the Cao Family, or my junior sister's place?"

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "My junior sister's place is better, it's quiet, and there's a beauty to look at, it's the first choice, but I'm just afraid she'll kill me directly."

Chen Qian laughed and said, "You never know, she warned you so many times, and you still didn't listen, knowing you're hurt, she must be very angry."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I really need to think about where I should go then."

Thinking about it, Ling Zhenfei realized that staying with Cao Xueyi was not an option; he really didn't feel safe with that old fellow Cao Qinglin.

After some consideration, Ling Zhenfei thought of someone, that person was Li Ru, it seemed quite appropriate given their relationship.

Ling Zhenfei gave Chen Qian Li Ru's address and asked him to drive there.

Chen Qian looked at the address and said, "A high-end neighborhood, who is this person?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Why do you have so many questions? I asked you to drive, just drive."

Chen Qian said, "Okay, I won't ask anymore, no wonder my junior sister calls you a flirt."

"Enough already!" Ling Zhenfei said, pretending to be angry.

Chen Qian said, "Fine, I won't say anymore. By the way, the company matter that Ma Long and I were working on is making progress. Ma Long is putting in the money to directly acquire a small company and is about to send troops to Moergawa. Should I go with them?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Are you that free? Going with them would mean neglecting your domestic affairs."

Chen Qian helplessly said, "I knew you didn't have any good intentions."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Once everything's settled, there'll be plenty of time. Now, there's another matter, is that Cao Qinglin wants to contract an island in Moergawa to develop high-end tourism.

I've already discussed with him, I'll provide the island, he'll fund the construction, and we'll split the investment returns fifty-fifty. Keep an eye on this matter for me."

Chen Qian laughed, "That's a good thing, Moergawa has lots of islands, just lying idle. Once developed, it could make quite a bit in a year."

"That's why I wanted you to keep an eye on it and help choose a location."

This was something Chen Qian actually agreed to, which showed that Ling Zhenfei's decision was very much correct at the time.

Chen Qian said, "I've never been to Moergawa, how would I know how to choose, it would be a blind guess, so let's just forget it."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I know you just don't want to go to Moergawa. Once the restaurant in the Capital City opens, we'll go together, okay?"

Chen Qian laughed heartily with a look of having achieved his plan and said, "That's what you said, not me."

As they chatted along the way, they drove towards Li Ru's place.

Ling Zhenfei's phone rang, indicating someone had gotten wind of the fire at Chen Qian's place last night. Both Chen Duling and Lin Xue called to inquire about Ling Zhenfei's situation.

Ling Zhenfei told them he was fine, that the fire was just an accident, and that he had to leave for something and not to worry.

After hanging up the phone, they had arrived at the apartment complex where Li Ru lived.

Although he had called Li Ru in advance, she had gone out early in the morning, so she wasn't home.

Chen Qian escorted Ling Zhenfei upstairs, glanced inside the room, and said, "Clearly a woman's room."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Nonsense, am I supposed to have a man take care of me when I'm injured?"

Chen Qian said earnestly, "Can you really recuperate here? I'm afraid your injuries might get worse."

Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "So what if they do? To die under the peony is to die as a romantic ghost."

Chen Qian laughed, "Then make sure to enjoy yourself. I'm leaving now. Stay in touch if anything comes up."

After giving Chen Qian some instructions, Ling Zhenfei was left alone.

Sitting in Li Ru's home, Ling Zhenfei felt quite emotional; he never imagined he would get seriously injured like this.

Things were fine before, and now he was suddenly injured. It was a bit unbelievable.

But that's just how the Jianghu is, you never know when someone else is going to take your life.

Ling Zhenfei sat cross-legged on the bed and entered cultivation, he came to Li Ru's place to properly cultivate and heal, hoping to make it to the Xishan Manor's opening ceremony in a few days.

But just then, Ling Zhenfei's phone unexpectedly rang. Not just anyone could have his number.

He glanced at the unfamiliar number, but after thinking for a bit, decided to answer the call.

On the other end was a woman's voice, speaking Mandarin with a somewhat off accent and a hint of a Western accent.
