Pick Up a Killer as Girlfriend Chapter 722 722: Return Journey

"Grandpa? What are you up to?"

"The village chief next door hurt his foot. I'm preparing so herbal dicine for him to apply. It's good timing that you're back, so you can take it to him later, saving him a trip with his injured foot."

"Oh."

Ye Aotian was still the most famous doctor in the surrounding ten miles. Even people from the town or the city often ca to seek his dical advice.

If it were an incurable disease, Ye Aotian might be helpless, but for any other illnesses, no matter how difficult, people who ca to him quickly found relief.

He was very adept at prescribing the right dicine for the condition.

However, the one ailnt he couldn't cure was the one his grandson suffered from.

It didn't take long to deliver the dicine. Upon returning ho, Grandpa again picked up his dical book.

The dical book had long since been worn out from use, yet Ye Aotian persistently searched for clues within its pages.

"Grandpa, still can't find a solution?"

"I've tried all possible redies. It's quite challenging to find a cure." Ye Aotian was at his wit's end. The complexity and vastness of the human body's ridians can't be easily understood.

But this world is a cause-and-effect world; for every cause, there is an effect. Everything is interconnected. The scariest illness in this world is cancer, and although we haven't yet developed suitable dication to treat these harmful cells, the inability to do so now doesn't an we'll never succeed. Ten years, twenty years, even a hundred, eventually, a solution will be found.

However, Ye Aotian didn't have many ten-year spans left to find the cure for Xiaofan's ridians. He was already old and might not be able to move around in a few years, so he had to find the redy while he still could.

"In a couple of days, I'm heading to the Capital City..."

"How's Shen Zuimo doing?"

"Hmm?"

Hearing Grandpa ntion Zuimo's na, he realized that Grandpa still rembered what he had said about her.

"She's doing well. She should be back soon."

"And after she cos back?"

"We'll do nothing..."

"Hmm?"

"First, give you a great-grandchild to play with..."

"Tsk... Haha, you little rascal."

Xiaofan's words amused the usually stern Ye Aotian. Their bond was unbreakable.

"In a few days, I want to visit the Miaojiang Race again."

"Hmm? Going again? I thought you said there were no leads?" Hearing that Grandpa was planning to make another trip for him, Xiaofan couldn't help but frown.

"That's precisely why we have to keep looking."

"If the chances are slim, maybe you shouldn't go?"

"Even a 0.1% chance is worth trying."

"But..."

"We've tried all possible redies, and it's likely that there's no one else in the world like you whose many minute ridians have been destroyed yet still survives. Even if there is, there might be no way to recover. Ordinary redies are ineffective; only the mysterious Miaojiang Cultivation Technique has yet to be tested, and it could be your only chance."

"Then I'll go with you."

"What would you do by following along? Just go about your business. Rember, next year, I want to hold a great-grandchild."

"Uh... How many do you want?"

"How many? You tricky one, why do you have so many devious thoughts?"

"Cough, cough, you're really going?"

"I'll go one more ti. Otherwise, I can't rest easy..." Ye Aotian slowly said.

"Actually, losing my Inner Strength isn't necessarily a bad thing. At least I can live peacefully."

"Not this pessimistic talk again? The Inner Strength in your body isn't just Ren Zhongtian's last testimony as a War God in this world, but it's also the rise of the second War God. Don't think you can now peacefully live your life. When the ti cos, you won't have a chance to regret it. When you're desperately in need of your Inner Strength to help you the most, that longing will drive you crazy."

"The Red Butterfly is gone, surely..."

"But what if the Black Butterfly or Blue Butterfly erges?"

"Ugh, fine, but I can't change your mind. Can I at least co along?"

"You'd just be in the way. Why tag along?"

"I have a car. I can drive you."

"Do you think I can't drive? Renting a car outside doesn't cost much. I can drive myself. Go, go, wash your hands and eat, enough with the chatter."

The conversation ended there.

A War God, huh? I once thought I was nearing the threshold, but now, it's so distant.

After all, what the Miaojiang Race's mysterious Cultivation Technique truly is can't be determined. It might simply be a Martial Arts Manual. Even the most formidable Martial Arts Manual is impossible to learn without Inner Strength.

Two days later, Xiaofan finally had to hurry back to the Capital City.

The two of them made an agreent that any news would be promptly reported to Xiaofan. No matter when, Xiaofan had to recover his Inner Strength as soon as possible. Preparing in advance could only be beneficial.

Unfortunately, despite Ye Aotian's foresight, he still didn't manage to cure Xiaofan's ailnt in ti before things took an unexpected turn.

Returning to H City, Xiaofan picked up ng Ying, and the two boarded the plane back to the Capital City.

"Xiaofan, take good care of ng Ying."

"Yes, Auntie, don't worry. You need to take care of yourself too. We'll co back to visit whenever we have ti."

"Alright. Alright..."

"Mom, go back inside; it's windy out here."

"I know. Study well, and don't overwork yourself when you have a part-ti job."

"Yeah."

When seeing them off at the door, Mrs. Chen was also reluctant. Of course, she began to look forward to seven months from now when the whole family could sit together and have a proper al.

It really made one feel the passage of ti and the changes it brings.

Even though it was only a short month, returning to the Capital City once again filled Chen ngying with so many emotions.

In just a few days, so much had happened, making it feel like life had completely changed. She had a father. It turned out she yearned for fatherly love.

And then there was Xiaofan. Indeed, the hidden secret couldn't be casually spoken out. Once revealed, it was no longer a secret.

As suspected, Xiaofan would never let her go. And Chen ngying couldn't lie to herself and say she didn't love him.

However, if spoken out loud, she would have to face soone she found difficult to confront: Liu Siyan...

The plane soon landed at the Capital City's airport, and after disembarking, they walked out of the terminal together, where Liu Siyan had already arrived to pick them up.

Chen ngying didn't expect that as soon as she arrived in the Capital City, she would have to face the issue she feared the most. As she watched Liu Siyan approach step by step, Chen ngying also made up her mind. No matter how much Liu Siyan might scold her, or even if she ca to blows, she'd accept it. After all, this was her choice, and she couldn't bla anyone else.
