Back at Lin Han's ho, upon learning that Chen Junfeng was willing to accept treatnt, Lin Han was quite surprised, not expecting Ling Chen to actually persuade Chen Junfeng.
"Miss Lin, my ti is very limited, can you cure Sir Chen as quickly as possible?" Ling Chen asked. If it weren't for the incident with Tong Zhentian, Ling Chen would have probably returned by now. But now he couldn't; Tong Zhentian was seriously injured, and Dragon Tiger Hall needed a master to hold the fort. Ji Gang wouldn't do; he was just a puppet. Therefore, Chen Junfeng was undoubtedly the best candidate, which was the main reason Ling Chen stayed in Xianghe Village.
"Sir Chen's issue is psychological, not sothing that dication can cure. It requires a gradual process, finding a quiet environnt to slowly recuperate. Even at the slowest pace, it will take about half a year."
Upon hearing Lin Han's words, Ling Chen felt a bit anxious. Half a year... he couldn't wait that long. "Miss Lin, can't it be faster? Maybe... a week?"
Lin Han stared, speaking with a hint of irritation, "Do you think I'm a deity? This kind of illness can only be cured with long-term care, unless you have a spiritual elixir."
"Spiritual elixir?" Ling Chen's eyes lit up, as if he thought of sothing, muttering to himself, "I understand now..."
"Hey! I was just saying it randomly, don't take it seriously." Lin Han panicked, mistakenly thinking Ling Chen had co up with so dubious idea, hurriedly stopping him, "There really aren't any spiritual elixirs in this world, those are just things from movies and novels."
Ling Chen smiled mysteriously, "Not necessarily."
Over the next two days, Chen Junfeng cooperated well with Lin Han's treatnt. Over the years, due to persistent nightmares, Chen Junfeng lacked rest. Fortunately, he was a Heavenly List expert, his body much stronger than an ordinary person. Otherwise, with so many years of insomnia, he would have collapsed long ago.
To ensure Chen Junfeng could rest well, Lin Han used dication, using sedatives to induce deep sleep in him.
Two nights passed, and after a good sleep, Chen Junfeng's complexion improved significantly, looking much more spirited than before.
That day, just after finishing lunch, Ling Chen received a call from He Ziyun, "Ling Chen, the ti has been set at the Martial Arts Academy, the duel will begin in three days."
"Three days?" Ling Chen exclaid, "That's so soon? Can't you ask them to delay it?"
"I've tried my best, but their attitude is very determined, they refuse to accept our proposal." At this point, He Ziyun's tone carried a hint of worry, "Ling Chen, this is going to be a big crisis for Dragon Tiger Hall. If we don't handle it well, Dragon Tiger Hall will lose everything."
"Mr. He, I understand all of this."
"No, you may not understand completely," He Ziyun said, "Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Academy has notified the entire Martial Arts community about this duel, inviting many martial artists to watch, including the Heavenly chanism Pavilion. You should know their purpose in doing so."
"I know," Ling Chen replied, "They want to humiliate us in front of everyone, completely defeating Dragon Tiger Hall."
"Elder Tong is injured and still unconscious, unable to wake up anyti soon, and Dragon Tiger Hall lacks soone to hold the fort. In the past two days, everyone's mood has been very low, especially those martial artists who joined Dragon Tiger Hall, as well as our newly recruited students. They've lost confidence in Dragon Tiger Hall, and so are already preparing to leave."
"Mr. He, I am very aware of what this duel ans. Rest assured, I will return as soon as possible. No matter the result, I will stand with Dragon Tiger Hall through thick and thin." Pausing for a mont, Ling Chen continued, "If anyone wants to leave, let them go. There's no need to retain them. Their leaving is not a loss to Dragon Tiger Hall, but rather a good thing. What we need are people who can share our highs and lows, not a bunch of fair-weather friends. This is the perfect opportunity to clean up a bit."
"I understand your point. Alright, I have other matters to handle, co back soon, everyone is waiting for you."
After hanging up the phone, Ling Chen exhaled slowly. Although he talked lightly with He Ziyun, his heart felt heavy. To say there was no pressure would be a lie. There was not just pressure, but imnse pressure. Fortunately, he was naturally optimistic; otherwise, such imnse pressure might have been suffocating.
After a short break, Ling Chen went to the clinic. At this mont, Chen Junfeng was sitting on a hospital bed in the clinic, holding a book and reading earnestly.
Ling Chen leaned on the door fra of the ward, looking at Chen Junfeng on the bed, several tis ready to speak but hesitated. At this mont, Chen Junfeng put down the book in his hand, turned to look at Ling Chen, and asked, "Did you need sothing from ?"
"I... nothing, just wanted to see how you're doing," Ling Chen said with a slight smile.
"Really?" Chen Junfeng looked at Ling Chen aningfully, "I'm old enough to see if you have sothing on your mind. Has the ti for the duel been set?"
Ling Chen nodded, "The duel will be held in three days, we don't have much ti."
Chen Junfeng frowned slightly and said, "Three days... too short. Although my body is not a big issue, my skills have deteriorated considerably over the years due to neglect. I don't think I can fully recover and am worried I might not be much help, instead becoming a burden to you."
"Sir Chen, as long as you're willing to help, don't worry about anything else. However, if we want to win the duel, we probably need to leave for East Sea City today."
"Alright, no problem," Chen Junfeng readily agreed.
"Then you get so rest, I'll arrange the flight and let Miss Lin know." With that, Ling Chen turned and left the clinic.
At two o'clock in the afternoon.
At the entrance of Xianghe Village, Lin Han, with Lin Chun, stood in front of a Land Rover, waving goodbye to Ling Chen and Chen Junfeng. Lin Chun, reluctantly looking at Ling Chen, asked, "Big brother, can we et again in the future?"
Ling Chen ruffled his little head, reassuringly, "Don't worry, it won't be long before we et again." After speaking, Ling Chen turned to look at Lin Han, "Miss Lin, thank you for everything during this period. I will forever rember this kindness."
"You're welco, once you return, take good care of yourself and Sir Chen. His recovery requires peace and quiet, you may want to hire so care staff."
"I will." Glancing at the ti, with a flight at four-thirty, it was getting late; if they didn't leave soon, they might miss the flight, "Miss Lin, little one, we have to go now, goodbye!"
"Goodbye, big brother, Sir Chen!" Lin Chun waved his arms vigorously, watching the SUV go off into the distance, tears started rolling down his face. Except for his sister, this was the first ti he felt attached to an outsider.
