His mentor's eyes lit up green upon hearing the words "Huanyang Dan" (Revitalization Pill), and Cheng Xiaofan knew he was about to ask for such a pill.
After all, he was his esteemed teacher; it would be embarrassing for Cheng Xiaofan if his teacher had to ask him directly.
Before Zhang Heng could speak, Cheng Xiaofan took out a pill from his backpack and handed it over. "Teacher, this Huanyang Dan is for you. I only have three left, and I wouldn't give them to anyone else!"
"Thank you, Xiaofan. Then I won't be polite!" Zhang Heng was overjoyed to receive the Huanyang Dan.
In reality, Cheng Xiaofan had refined far more than five Huanyang Dans.
This type of pill was unique in this world. He treasured it dearly and naturally wouldn't give it away casually.
Seeing that Wu Huijuan was about to wake up, Cheng Xiaofan reminded Zhang Heng, "Teacher, once Wu Huijuan wakes up, please don't mention those people who wanted to buy information from her again."
"I've pretty much figured out who they are!"
Zhang Heng knew that Cheng Xiaofan's eyes were extraordinary, capable of gleaning much information from the qi of others.
He nodded and said, "Alright, I'll listen to you."
Cheng Xiaofan added, "Also, Wu Huijuan is a filial daughter. I hope you'll spare her from severe punishment for my sake."
"In our village, no matter what mistake a person makes, as long as it's out of filial piety and they haven't done anything wicked, the villagers will forgive them."
Zhang Heng sighed and said, "Okay!"
Just then, Wu Huijuan suddenly opened her eyes.
She blinked in confusion, her eyes darting around, murmuring, "Huh? Am I in the underworld? But this place looks so familiar!"
Zhang Heng's face darkened, and he grunted, "Wu Huijuan, this is not the underworld. This is my office. Do you think dying is that easy?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Huijuan scrambled to sit up.
She touched her head and cried, "What happened? Why am I not dead?"
Zhang Heng said, "You did indeed die by hitting the wall. It was Cheng Xiaofan who brought you back to life!"
Wu Huijuan stared blankly at Cheng Xiaofan and asked, "Cheng Xiaofan, did you really save me?"
Cheng Xiaofan nodded. "Wu Huijuan, I saved you because you are a filial daughter. You're fine now."
"Furthermore, I can also help your mother cure her cancer!"
Wu Huijuan knew Cheng Xiaofan was a renowned divine doctor. Hearing him say this, she exclaimed excitedly, "Cheng Xiaofan, if you can cure my mother's cancer, I'm willing to be your servant for life, to do anything you ask, and I'll do it willingly!"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled. "Wu Huijuan, you've just woken up, and your mind is still hazy. You should rest for a while."
"Give me your phone number. I'll contact you this afternoon to treat your mother!"
Wu Huijuan quickly replied, "Okay, thank you, Cheng Xiaofan. I'll give you my phone number!"
Immediately!
She gave Cheng Xiaofan her phone number.
After recording her number, Cheng Xiaofan said, "You can go and rest now!"
Once Wu Huijuan left, Zhang Heng said, "Xiaofan, let's head out too. Come to my place, and we'll have a couple of drinks at noon!"
Zhang Heng knew that no matter how much this young man drank, he wouldn't get drunk.
It certainly wouldn't interfere with treating Wu Huijuan's mother.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Okay, Teacher, let's go to your place!"
They left the office and got into Zhang Heng's car.
As the car drove away from the quadrangle courtyard.
On the road.
Zhang Heng glanced at Cheng Xiaofan's backpack and said with a disingenuous smile, "Xiaofan, you've visited my home many times before, but today is your first time meeting my junior wife. You can't come empty-handed, can you?"
Cheng Xiaofan laughed heartily. "Teacher, don't worry. My gifts are all in my backpack. I won't forget your junior wife."
"After all, I can't embarrass you, my teacher!"
Zhang Heng said, "That's right, that's right. We are truly close as former teacher and student!"
"By the way, after you entered the desert oasis back then, how many treasures did you get? I asked Zhou Zhizheng and the others later, but they said the entire special task force didn't even get close to the oasis gate!"
Cheng Xiaofan sighed. "Teacher, after I went in, I only saw the prehistoric scenery of Earth and encountered some strange birds and beasts. I accidentally found some medicinal herbs, but nothing else."
"After all, it's from prehistoric Earth. I didn't dare to disturb anything casually!"
Seeing his serious expression, Zhang Heng could only agree, "Yes, yes, yes, what you're saying is absolutely correct. I believe you!"
He said that aloud.
But in his heart, he thought, *Do I believe you?*
*I believe in ghosts!*
*This kid is incredibly cunning!*
*But if he's unwilling to reveal the treasures he obtained, you can't pester him endlessly.*
Cheng Xiaofan seized the opportunity to change the subject. "Teacher, how has Ross and her nine non-human cultivators been performing in the special task force?"
Zhang Heng immediately replied, "Good, good, good. It's clear that this foreign woman is truly loyal to China."
"Xiaofan, you are like a god in their eyes!"
Fifteen minutes later.
The car stopped in front of a small courtyard house.
In front of the courtyard gate stood a large osmanthus tree.
It was an ever-blooming osmanthus, and despite it being the depth of winter, the tree was covered in golden osmanthus flowers, filling the air with their rich fragrance.
This was quite similar to Cheng Xiaofan's old house.
Whenever he arrived at Zhang Heng's doorstep in the past, Cheng Xiaofan felt a sense of familiarity.
Stepping into the courtyard, Zhang Heng called out loudly, "Little wife, we have guests! Come out quickly and see who it is!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a petite woman with short, ear-length hair, wearing a form-fitting lake-blue qipao, ran out from the house. She was exceptionally delicate and pretty.
This was the junior wife Zhang Heng had mentioned!
The junior wife approached Cheng Xiaofan, took a look, and immediately stomped her foot. She then smiled, "Old Zhang, isn't this Cheng Xiaofan, whom you often described to me!"
"You've shown me his photos so many times, I recognized him at a glance!"
Cheng Xiaofan immediately bowed and smiled, "Greetings, Junior Wife!"
"Good, good, good!"
The junior wife's eyebrows seemed to fly up with joy. She took Cheng Xiaofan's hand and said, "Xiaofan, come in and have a seat. Oh my, what a handsome young man!"
Zhang Heng laughed heartily. "Little wife, I was quite handsome when I was young too! I could give Xiaofan a run for his money!"
The junior wife glanced at Zhang Heng and chided playfully, "I'm praising Xiaofan for being handsome, are you jealous? Xiaofan is truly handsome. His handsomeness radiates from his very bones!"
"Your handsomeness is superficial. Compared to Xiaofan, there's a world of difference!"
