Chen Jiuyang returned home and told Yao Zixuan about the Gong family's attack.
Yao Zixuan frowned and said, "The origin of this Gong family is mysterious. Our Yao family hasn't investigated much about them. We only know that there's a martial arts sect vaguely standing behind the Gong family."
"A martial arts sect?" Chen Jiuyang realized, no wonder the Gong family dared not directly attack the Yao family. In Feng Province, the Six Doors was the foremost official power, followed by various enfeoffed Grandmasters, and then sects and cults that controlled cultivation methods and techniques. With the suppression of the former two powerful forces, sects and cults dared not be too presumptuous.
Yao Zixuan asked, "Jiuyang, are you free tomorrow?"
"What's wrong?"
"I want to ask you to save my best friend, Yun Jingbai."
"Yun Jingbai?" Chen Jiuyang looked surprised, "You mean our Dragon Country's super superstar, Yun Jingbai?"
"Yes, that's her," Yao Zixuan nodded.
Yun Jingbai was nineteen years old, a curvaceous and cold-as-an-immortal great star. At fourteen, a photo of her wearing ancient Hanfu went viral online, earning her the nickname "Fairy Sister." She was pushed into the entertainment industry, and at fifteen, she starred in a phenomenal wuxia drama that made her famous throughout the Dragon Country. At sixteen, she filmed a historical fantasy film that won over a dozen international awards, soaring to stardom as a global A-list celebrity, captivating countless people with her ethereal aura. At eighteen, she starred in a film celebrating China's national essence, criticizing those who fawned over foreign cultures, and was promoted by the Dragon Country's officialdom as a cultural ambassador to promote national cultural confidence, gaining countless fans domestically. However, fate is unpredictable. At nineteen, while promoting national culture and criticizing Japan's distorted culture in Japan, she was involved in a car accident, resulting in paralysis of her lower body. Numerous renowned doctors in the country treated her, but none could cure her. Neither medical equipment nor famous doctors could pinpoint the cause of her injury.
Yao Zixuan said, "Jingbai is my best friend, but at the same time, her father is the top official, the Prefect of Fengcheng."
Chen Jiuyang was surprised, "Her father is the Prefect of Fengcheng, a fifth-rank official!"
Yao Zixuan nodded, "The Yun family is a scholarly family, and they are old friends with our Yao family. Our relationship has been close for five generations."
Chen Jiuyang pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, I'll go with you to see her tomorrow." So, the Yao family was backed by the Yun family, the Prefect of Fengcheng. No wonder those people could only resort to underhanded tactics against the Yao family and dared not act openly.
After discussing important matters, Chen Jiuyang told Yao Zixuan about what happened today. "Zixuan, Lin Jiayue Xian and I..." Chen Jiuyang expected Yao Zixuan to be angry, but to his surprise, Yao Zixuan wasn't angry at all. Instead, she smiled and said, "I was mentally prepared for this long ago."
"But if it comes to giving a title, I was the first. She has to call me sister when she sees me, and I'll call her sister." Yao Zixuan hugged Chen Jiuyang, rubbing against him and humming, "I'm happy you didn't hide this from me."
"Since Yue Xian is already your woman, Jiuyang, I'll have to pay her a visit these days and have her set a time to meet our parents." Yao Zixuan and Chen Jiuyang had done everything they could, except for the intimate acts of "插花弄玉" and "乌山云雨." In the eyes of the outside world, Chen Jiuyang's promotion to the Earth Realm and becoming an Enfeoffed Grandmaster was only a matter of time. By then, Chen Jiuyang would have the privilege of seven wives, with her, Yao Zixuan, being the eldest wife, and any other women entering the household would be like sisters. Yao Zixuan believed that in terms of figure, temperament, and appearance, she was second to none. She could confidently be this future eldest daughter-in-law of a noble family. What about a scholarly family? She, Yao Zixuan, was the next head of the Yao family, and the Yao family's hundreds of billions in assets would be her dowry in the future. Which sister would dare to object? Seeing how understanding Yao Zixuan was, Chen Jiuyang happily embraced her and fell asleep.
The next morning, he went to the Prefect's Mansion of Fengcheng with Yao Zixuan. The Prefect's Mansion of Fengcheng was a proper eight-entry, eight-exit large residence. The guards at the entrance were all constables from the Six Doors, fully armed and equipped with live ammunition. In the Dragon Country, only the Six Doors and the army were allowed to possess firearms. Possession of other firearms was illegal and punishable by at least ten years in prison. However, ordinary firearms were ineffective against Xuan Realm Grandmasters. Ordinary bullets might not be able to penetrate a Xuan Realm Grandmaster's protective aura.
Yao Zixuan used her influence to enter the Prefect's Mansion and led Chen Jiuyang to the backyard. There was an artificial lake, and by the lake sat a young woman of unparalleled beauty and ethereal temperament. Just a glance made Chen Jiuyang feel somewhat captivated. She was too beautiful. Her skin was fair, her features were exquisitely perfect, and her frame was petite, making her an ultimate beauty. Her cold and immortal-like temperament prevented any disrespectful thoughts. Yao Zixuan and this woman were equally matched in all aspects. Yao Zixuan had a cold and moving temperament with a touch of contrast, and she was a pure Yin body, which further attracted men's hormones.
"Jingbai," Yao Zixuan called out.
Yun Jingbai, sitting in an electric wheelchair, turned her wheelchair towards Yao Zixuan upon hearing her voice, a faint smile appearing on her lips. Her voice was pleasant and melodious, "Zixuan, you haven't come to visit me in a long time." Yun Jingbai's cold and immortal-like temperament was accompanied by a hint of melancholy in her eyes, evoking a sense of pity. It was evident that the severe injury and subsequent paralysis had taken a great toll on her.
Yao Zixuan giggled, "Don't we chat on WeChat every day?"
Seeing Chen Jiuyang, Yun Jingbai took Yao Zixuan's hand and asked, "Zixuan, is this handsome guy the person destined for you?"
Yao Zixuan's cheeks blushed slightly as she nodded, "His name is Chen Jiuyang. I brought him here today to see if he can treat your injuries."
Yun Jingbai's beautiful eyes dimmed slightly, "I've already given up hope."
"Others might not be able to, but Chen Jiuyang probably can," Yao Zixuan said. "Jiuyang has a way to treat my cold ailment." Upon hearing this, Yun Jingbai's heart skipped a beat. She knew about Yao Zixuan's cold ailment, which was considered untreatable. If this Chen Jiuyang could treat her, was his medical skill extraordinary?
Yun Jingbai's voice trembled slightly, "Then let's give it a try."
Chen Jiuyang said, "Miss Yun, please extend your hand. I need to check your pulse."
Yun Jingbai nodded and extended her jade-like arm. Chen Jiuyang placed a hand on her pulse while simultaneously extending his divine sense.
"Hmm?" Chen Jiuyang frowned. Yun Jingbai's body contained dozens of rare and potent poisons, all of the蛊 poison type. It was normal for ordinary doctors and medical equipment to be unable to detect them. However, with so many poisons in her body, she should have died long ago, even with nine lives. Yet, Yun Jingbai was alive and well, aside from being paralyzed and unable to move.
Continuing his investigation, Chen Jiuyang's body trembled. Within Yun Jingbai's spiritual platform, there was half a golden phantom dragon scale. This dragon scale gave Chen Jiuyang a feeling of supreme, righteous, and immense sacredness. What was this? Even with his inherited medical immortal knowledge, Chen Jiuyang did not know what it was.
