Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 207 - 128 Darling Chen Yi_2

Chen Yi opened his mouth, "That's not what I meant. There's no need to swear such a severe oath..."

Of course, he only added this after Zhao Chengjing had sworn her oath, making him seem not sincere at all.

Zhao Chengjing chuckled: "You, you and your caution, it's... kinda cute."

Chen Yi touched his nose,

Actually, merely good healing power isn't much of a secret. Many of the Wood-attribute and Water-attribute Martial Methods and spells could accomplish it.

It's not a serious issue if someone else knew about it.

Furthermore, Chen Yi had been an outstanding physician in the Zhao Family for many years, renowned for the effectiveness of his healing pills.

Now that Zhao Chengjing knew, it didn't seem too out of place,

Besides, she had taken an oath and Chen Yi was not worried about any mishaps happening within the short span of several decades.

As for after several decades, Chen Yi believed that by then, he would have the power to deal with the cause and effect of having superior healing abilities.

He may even take the opportunity to expose this ability to get resources from the Immortal Cultivation World.

"Forget about it. What exactly happened just now? How did you get attacked by the demon cultivator?"

Chen Yi asked.

Zhao Chengjing's expression became serious, and she detailed what had happened.

Turns out,

She, like Chen Yi, received a note warning her of danger. The note even held traces of Chen Yi's scent. Without thinking, she took it as true,

She rushed out of the market town, and fell into a trap set by Demon Cultivators.

There were two of them. One at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer, another at the peak of Qi Refining.

Being only at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer, she was naturally outmatched. Despite taking the Gold Body Pill, she nearly had her legs severed by the sword of the peak Qi Refining demon cultivator,

Luckily, she fled back. With the market town nearby, the cultivators didn't risk pressing further because of the Foundation Establishment cultivator stationed in there.

Could be assured, though, that they had confidence in their strike. If Zhao Chengjing had been hit by the fatal blow, unless a physician at the Foundation Establishment stage intervened, there was little chance of saving her.

Even if they somehow managed to save her, her legs would be useless, halting her cultivation progress. The cultivator achieved his goal.

This demon cultivator would never have imagined that Chen Yi could possess such expertise, enough to treat her wounds properly.

After hearing what happened, Chen Yi's eyes flashed with anger.

One at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer, another at the peak of Qi Refining. Two demon cultivators.

The one at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer was probably Old Zeng from next door. And the one at the peak of Qi Refining was...

"I understand. You should take some time to heal. Stay in town and don't leave. They can't trick me into falling into their trap."

Finally, having almost completely expelled the evil qi within Zhao Chengjing's body, Chen Yi advised her after exhausting his mana.

"Mhm~"

Zhao Chengjing obediently agreed, a mix of sweetness and shyness filling her as she watched the man before her and thought of her exposed state.

"Darling Chen..."

Hm? Mmm~

As Chen Yi looked up in confusion, he was ambushed. A gentle, sweet, soft scent filled his mouth...

A moment later, Chen Yi gently laid her down on the bed, stroking her pure white shoulders.

"Alright, focus on healing. We still have plenty of time."

...

Having took care of Zhao Chengjing,

Chen Yi went to the restaurant to inform Zhao Chengyu. They spent a while planning before publicly announcing:

[Elder Miss Zhao Chengjing of the Zhao Family was ambushed and seriously injured by demon cultivators near the outskirts of the market town!]

This news stunned the many business people in town.

A demon cultivator appearing in town, going as far as attempting murder on the island, was utterly appalling!

As the town's administrators, they had to address this issue. Otherwise, who would dare to come to Spirit Fish Island?

The Tan Family attached great importance to this, organizing the exorcism team ostentatiously. The team was led by Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators and composed of dozens of Late Stage of Qi Cultivation cultivators.

In the town, as well as the entire Spirit Fish Island, they tirelessly patrolled and searched.

However, because the demon cultivator was well-hidden, they failed to find him,

In the end, they only caught two Early Stage of Qi Cultivation and one Mid-stage Qi Refining bandit cultivators, all of whom had already retired from criminal activities many years before...

Unfortunately, one of them, a peak-Qi Refining bandit cultivator named Jiang Hao, was not caught.

When Chen Yi heard this name, he was slightly stunned. He had met Jiang Hao on the 32nd Island, and unexpectedly, Jiang has reverted back to his bandit activities upon their return to Spirit Mist Marsh.

In the meantime, Zhao Family leader Chen Chongjian, and also Zhao Chengjing's father, arrived at Spirit Fish Island to check on Zhao Chengjing's injuries, and, pressuring the Tan family for a resolution.

In the end, the Tan Family took the initiative to compensate the Zhao Family with two new stores and exempted them from fifteen years of rent. It was only then the Zhao Family let the matter rest.

Soon after, the Zhao family announced that they had managed to treat Zhao Chengjing's injuries at a great cost. And thus, the matter concluded.

In Zhao Chengjing's cave mansion behind the pill store, Zhao Chongjian spoke contentedly:

"Daughter, your injury is so minor and yet the Tan family was willing to compensate our Zhao Family with two shops and fifteen years of rent. These are all worth at least a thousand spirit stones. It seems the Tan family is very sincere. I think we can let this matter go without further investigation."

Zhao Chengjing glanced at Chen Yi, then lowered her head in agreement,

She had promised Chen Yi not to disclose the healing incident. Her father agreed to publicly declare her injuries as severe just to help the family gain more benefits, even though he didn't know her actual condition of injury.

Only she, Chen Yi, and those demon cultivators knew about the whole incident.

In the past few days, the Zhao family head had noticed many exchanges between his daughter and the little alchemist who refused to sign a contract with the Zhao Family.
