Chapter 315: Chapter 221: Dragon-Falling Slaying Enemies, Spear Dao Perfection

Pei Guanli’s sobs ceased, and she broke into a tearful smile as she hugged him. "Brother-in-law, you’re okay! You’re okay..."

"COUGH, COUGH..."

Chen Yi tried feebly to push her away, but when he couldn’t break free, he simply let her hold him.

He gazed at the full moon peeking through the gaps in the dense canopy of leaves and thought to himself:

’That was genuinely dangerous.’

’The Five Poison Sect, Liu Zhaoxue of the Jing State Liu Family... This isn’t over!’

But what Chen Yi and Pei Guanli didn’t know was that, on a tree several hundred yards away...

Chen Yunfan was staring at them, dumbfounded.

To be precise, he was staring at Chen Yi lying on the ground, his face and eyes filled with utter disbelief.

’Brother Yi?’

’Is that Brother Yi?’

’Brother Yi has reached Spear Dao Perfection?!’

’Damn it, that’s impossible.’

’How is that even possible?’

’He, Chen Yunfan, had practiced Martial Arts since he was a child. After more than a decade of hard work, his Cultivation had only just broken through to the Lower Fourth Grade.’

’His Sword Dao had only just reached the Great Success Realm.’

’With this rate of progress, the family elders already called him a prodigy.’

’They said he had the greatest talent for Martial Arts the Jiangnan Prefecture Chen Family had seen in a century.’

’But if he was a once-in-a-century talent, then what did that make Chen Yi?’

’He was younger, his Cultivation was a bit lower, but his Spear Dao was immensely more powerful!’

’Father, Mother, Second Uncle, Great-Grandfather, Third Grandpa, Fifth Grandpa, you have to come and see this.’

’Brother Yi has made it big! He... damn it all... he’s reached Spear Dao Perfection!’

’Damn it all, how is that fair?’

’He had toiled and suffered since he was a child to cultivate his Martial Arts, and he couldn’t even show it, all so he could one day make a stunning debut.’

But before he could even make a name for himself among the scholars, before he could dominate the Jianghu, he discovered someone in his own family was already more incredible than him.

’Brother Yi, your Calligraphy Dao is at Perfection, and your Spear Dao is at Perfection too... Talent like yours puts your big brother in a really tight spot.’

A moment later, seeing that the corrosive effects of the Evil Poison in his body had subsided slightly, Chen Yi couldn’t help but speak again.

"Stop crying."

"Help me. Help me up."

Pei Guanli finally snapped out of it and hurriedly helped him sit up. "Brother-in-law, are you feeling any better?"

Of course, she could see for herself how he was doing.

The Evil Poison was still coursing through Chen Yi’s body. Apart from his face, which was relatively unharmed, the rest of his body was swollen and festering.

It was a truly gruesome sight.

But after checking himself with his Qi Observation Skill, Chen Yi sighed in relief.

"It’s fine. They’re just superficial wounds. The Evil Poison didn’t reach my internal organs. I reckon I’ll be fully healed by tomorrow."

Her heart aching for him, Pei Guanli was about to touch his wounds when his words made her freeze. "Tomorrow?"

Chen Yi hummed in affirmation, took out an earring, and began to treat his wounds with it.

As he began Controlling Needle with Qi, he made sure to instruct her, "When we get back, don’t mention anything that happened tonight."

"Your Sister Wan’er is too pure-hearted. She can’t handle these sordid affairs. Plus, her health is poor. It’s better to save her the worry."

"If she asks, we need to have our story straight. We’ll say you ran into some Jianghu People and almost got into a fight..."

Pei Guanli nodded to show she had it memorized, all while watching his actions with curiosity.

"Brother-in-law, is that ’Controlling Needle with Qi’? I remember Ah Ma saying that only the most incredible Medical Saint Hands can use it."

Chen Yi confirmed with a grunt and continued, "Don’t worry about that for now. Just memorize what I told you. Don’t slip up like you did in front of your Sister Jinghong."

"Don’t worry, brother-in-law. I—I promise I won’t give anything away."

"Speaking of which, what happened with you? You were carrying so many vials and jars, and even Gu Insects. How did you get caught by the Five Poison Sect?"

At the mention of this, Pei Guanli’s face flushed with indignation.

"They—they’re horrible! They used a little kid to trick me!"

"I had just come out of the latrine when a child ran up to me, saying he couldn’t find his mother. I offered to help him look."

"But as soon as we entered a small path, someone knocked me unconscious..."

’Knocked unconscious, huh.’

’Being unconscious would be great right now.’

Chen Yunfan wished he were unconscious too.

That way, he could attribute everything before him to a dream, and not reality.

’Brother Yi is also a Medical Saint Hand...’

’Perfection in a Martial Dao, Perfection in the Calligraphy Dao, a Medical Saint Hand...’

Chen Yunfan rubbed his eyes. It wasn’t because his vision was blurry; he was genuinely about to cry.

He racked his brain but couldn’t figure out how Chen Yi had managed to cultivate.

The Calligraphy Dao was somewhat understandable.

Chen Yi had been a diligent student since childhood and had decent handwriting. Even when he was locked in the woodshed, he could still write and paint.

So, Chen Yunfan didn’t find his achievements in the Calligraphy Dao all that strange.

But what about the Martial Arts and the Medical Dao?

Chen Yi had never come into contact with any medical texts, at least not before he came to Shu State.

’In just a few short months, he cultivated the Medical Dao to Minor Success and learned Controlling Needle with Qi?’

What Chen Yunfan understood even less was when Chen Yi had started practicing Martial Arts.

After thinking it over, he could only come up with one possibility.

’All those years, Brother Yi wasn’t actually being punished by my mother. He was secretly practicing Martial Arts.’

’Five years to reach Great Success in the Spear Dao, and then breaking through to the Perfection Realm today when faced with a life-or-death crisis... it’s not impossible.’

’But was his practice of Martial Arts also arranged by my father?’

Chen Yunfan had no way of knowing, but he resolved to find a way to contact his father.

He was determined to ask him and get to the bottom of Brother Yi’s skills in the Martial Arts, the Calligraphy Dao, and the Medical Dao.

’He’s not human. He’s a monster!’

At this thought, Chen Yunfan took a deep breath, shot one last look in Chen Yi’s direction, and turned to head back toward the Prefecture City.

But after walking only a few hundred yards, he abruptly stopped and turned back to look toward Chen Yi, a look of dawning realization mixed with suspicion in his eyes.

’Spear Dao... Spear Technique...’

’The person who knocked me out that night... was it... was it Brother Yi?’

’And then he knocked me out, only to bring people to "rescue" me?’

Connecting the Spear Dao and Medical Dao that Chen Yi had just revealed, Chen Yunfan instantly put it all together, and an expression of profound grievance crept onto his face.

’The West Market Hundred Herbs Hall... Brother Yi goes there often.’

’And that night with Cui Qingwu’s incident, the Xiao Family was framed...’

’Damn it, damn it, damn it! Brother Yi, you’ve really put your big brother through the wringer!’

’You, you, you... You just wait!’

Any thought Chen Yunfan previously had of rescuing Chen Yi had long since vanished into thin air.

’Rescue him?’

’Rescue, my ass! This town ain’t big enough for the two of us!’
