"Yes!"

Two people entered the doorway in response, and Jiang Yi hurriedly ran out of the room.

Buzz!

Wu Qianxun's momentum spread out, enveloping the entire room.

Suddenly, the momentum fluctuated, leaving a slit at the window.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Yan Hu and Gong Lin rushed in through the window.

"Don't let anyone else in, not even Li Wushuang!" Jiang Chen sensed the situation outside the attic and shouted in a low voice.

Buzz!

Wu Qianxun's momentum suddenly became more aggressive, completely shrouding the entire room.

"Young Master!" Yan Hu extended his hand with the needle pack to Jiang Chen and set the medicine box down next to him.

Jiang Chen took the needle pack and pushed Qingyuan Yingzi down harshly, shouting, "Lie down properly!"

Qingyuan Yingzi obediently lay down on the bed.

Swish, swish, swish!

The next moment, the room was filled with a flash of silver light as Jiang Chen's hands moved rapidly, inserting Silver Needles all over Qingyuan Yingzi's body.

"Hu Zi!" Jiang Minglong glanced at Gong Lin by his side and called out softly.

Yan Hu stepped forward beside Jiang Minglong and called out softly, "Master, Great Elder, Second Elder, Miss Gong."

"What's going on here? Chen'er and this girl..." Jiang Minglong looked at Jiang Chen and Qingyuan Yingzi with a puzzled look.

At the moment, both Jiang Chen and Qingyuan Yingzi were wearing pajamas, making it easy for others to think of certain particular things.

However, Jiang Minglong trusted Jiang Chen and thus didn't avoid Gong Lin.

"Ying Zi must have been cultivating. When I sensed it, there was a chaotic energy coming from her room. I came to knock on the door, and suddenly I heard the window break, so I burst in, and the Young Master had already come in. I'm not quite clear on what exactly happened!"

Yan Hu also believed in Jiang Chen and, hence, didn't hold back and recounted what he knew.

Wu Qianxun glanced at Qingyuan Yingzi lying on the bed with a strange expression in his eyes. He sensed the chaotic Soul Power emanating from her!

Jiang Minglong was taken aback and still confused, frowning as he asked, "So who exactly is this girl?"

"She is..."

Yan Hu quietly talked about the medical association matter and explained Qingyuan Yingzi's background.

"From the Qingyuan Family?!"

Wu Qianxun, who was listening to the explanation, showed a look of surprise and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Elder Wu, you know of this?" Jiang Minglong looked up at Wu Qianxun, and everyone else also turned their gazes toward him.

"This... Let's wait until Mr. Jiang is free to discuss it," Wu Qianxun hesitated a bit before speaking softly.

Everyone was slightly stunned, each sensing the solemnity in Elder Wu's words.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Following Jiang Chen's acupuncture, the violent energy on Qingyuan Yingzi's body gradually settled down, and a powerful aura began to emanate from her, climbing continuously!

Innate Grandmaster early stage... Innate Grandmaster middle stage... Innate Grandmaster late stage...

"What... What's happening here?" Jiang Minglong looked at Qingyuan Yingzi with a face of astonishment.

Yan Hu took a step to the side, positioning himself in front of Gong Lin to shield her from Qingyuan Yingzi's surging energy.

"It really is someone from that clan!" Wu Qianxun's eyebrows were tightly knitted, and his eyes flashed with a complex expression!

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Suddenly, a faint golden light burst forth from Jiang Chen's body, with a vast and domineering aura emanating from him, heavily suppressing Qingyuan Yingzi.

Buzz, buzz!

The aura around Qingyuan Yingzi sharply stalled, beginning to become disordered!

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Slap, slap!

Silver light blazed brightly as Jiang Chen's hands turned into phantoms, swiftly inserting needles into Qingyuan Yingzi and incessantly slapping the meridians all over her body while inserting the needles.

With each slap, a golden glow would shine from Jiang Chen's hands.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

As time passed, the aura around Qingyuan Yingzi gradually calmed down, slowly retracting into her body.

Whew!

Taking a long breath, Jiang Chen quickly withdrew the needles and flipped his hand to place the needle case back in the medicine box.

Thud!

A muffled sound rang out as Jiang Chen's hand shook, causing the needle case to drop to the ground. His body began to sway.

"Jiang Chen!"

"Young Master!"

"Mr. Jiang!"

"Chen'er!"

Exclamations rose as everyone rushed towards Jiang Chen. Wu Qianxun, being the strongest, was the first to reach his side and support him.

At that moment, Jiang Chen's face was extremely pale; he was panting heavily, his forehead slick with sweat, his nightclothes thoroughly soaked!

Everyone gathered around Jiang Chen. Seeing his current state, Gong Lin tenderly reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead, saying with concern, "Jiang Chen, are you okay?"

"I, I'm fine, just a bit drained!" Jiang Chen gently shook his head and sat down heavily on the bed.

"Mr., Mr. Jiang, what's wrong with you?" A voice of shock sounded as Qingyuan Yingzi opened her eyes and saw the extremely weak Jiang Chen before leaping up from the bed.

"What's wrong? Isn't it because of you?" Wu Qianxun coldly interjected, glaring at Qingyuan Yingzi with an unfriendly look.

"Me?"

Qingyuan Yingzi was momentarily astonished before sensing something amiss. As she checked her inner Qi, her face lit up with joy, "Innate Grandmaster pinnacle?! Mr. Jiang, I should accompany you to that what's-it-called family this time, right? I can be of help now; let me take on those foes at the Innate Realm and early Semi Venerable stages!"

Everyone fell silent for a moment, their faces awash with astonishment as they turned to look at Qingyuan Yingzi.

Jiang Chen gave a bitter smile and glanced at Qingyuan Yingzi. He lifted his hand to point at the three empty small porcelain bottles on the bedside table, saying helplessly, "You've suddenly consumed so many Soul Nourishing Pills to forcefully enhance your strength, all to help me when we go to the fatty's family?"

"I... Mr. Jiang, Ying Zi is your protector. Although my current strength is meager, I will strive to improve. Please don't send me away; I'll grow stronger quickly! Are you... are you really like this because of me?" Qingyuan Yingzi looked anxiously at Jiang Chen.

"You..."

Jiang Chen was somewhat speechless due to Qingyuan Yingzi, managing a helpless smile and wiping the sweat from his forehead before softly saying, "Ying Zi, since I brought you back here, as long as you don't betray me, I won't send you away. You don't always have to worry about that!"

"I won't, Ying Zi will definitely never betray the master!" Qingyuan Yingzi quickly gestured.

"Let me finish!"

Jiang Chen waved his hand, "Your strength is indeed a bit low compared to mine right now, but how old are you? Only twenty-one or twenty-two, right? To have reached the status of Innate Grandmaster is already quite remarkable! So don't worry that I would send you away. In the future, don't be so reckless with consuming medicinal pills, although..."

Upon saying this, Jiang Chen deeply looked at Qingyuan Yingzi and continued, "Although it seems you have a way to neutralize the medicine's potency, taking so much at once is still dangerous!"

"Also, next time you take elixirs and practice like this, don't control your strength. It would be fine if you were outside, but at home, let your aura spread out so I can protect you. With your method of cultivation, besides me, only Elder Yao could act as your protector; no one else would suffice!"

After saying all of this, Jiang Chen seemed to have thought of something else, but he opened his mouth and did not continue further.
