Su Changfeng finds Shen Hanxue restored to her former beauty. Her aging symptoms have vanished, her hair returned to black and her skin is youthful. She is overjoyed by her recovery and embraces Su Changfeng. The couple decides to leave for a hotel, while Shangguan Sichen learns of Hanxue's miraculous recovery and sees it as a sign that he may find a way to achieve immortality in Tuo Shi.

Furthermore, Su Changfeng had previously pledged that should his capabilities suffice, he would escort the young man to Tuo Shi. Therefore, for him, the only task remaining was to find an opportune moment to broach the subject.

The subsequent day witnessed the news of Shen Hanxue's complete recovery reverberating throughout Jiang City. Her appearance outside Xianwu Mountain Villa served to irrefutably quash any lingering speculations.

Renowned physicians, upon learning of this astonishing turn of events, converged upon Xianwu Mountain with great haste. Their motivations were twofold: to ascertain the veracity of the recovery and, more importantly, to uncover the methodology behind Shen Hanxue's miraculous cure.

Consequently, this assembly of esteemed doctors harbored an intense desire to meet Su Changfeng, their collective perception of him having been elevated to that of a peerless divine healer.

As the morning light broke, Zhu Lie initiated contact with Su Changfeng.

Su Changfeng found himself in an intimate embrace with Shen Hanxue, enveloped in an atmosphere of profound warmth and beauty, when the jarring ring of his phone rudely intruded, leaving no doubt as to the extent of his vexation.

"Zhu Lie, it appears your audacity knows no bounds. You are in dire need of a stern lesson," Su Changfeng declared, his voice laced with icy coldness.

Zhu Lie, fully cognizant of his transgression, nonetheless felt compelled to apprise Su Changfeng of the unfolding situation, enabling him to prepare accordingly.

"Chang Feng, a veritable multitude of eminent physicians has gathered outside the villa. Exercise caution upon your return; endeavor to evade their scrutiny," Zhu Lie conveyed, steeling himself for the conversation.

"Pray tell, what is the meaning of this sudden convergence? Why have they materialized without warning?" Su Changfeng inquired, his brow furrowed in a distinct frown.

"Word of Hanxue's recovery has spread like wildfire. They now regard you as a divine healer and are clamoring to understand the source of your miraculous methods," Zhu Lie elucidated.

Divine healer?

Su Changfeng found the notion both amusing and irritating. Was he truly a divine healer? He knew full well that without the enigmatic pearl of Yang Ling, Shen Hanxue's cure would have been an impossibility.

"Instruct Shangguan Sichen to escort those individuals away. I currently lack the disposition to engage with them," Su Changfeng commanded.

"Understood. I shall relay your directive immediately."

As the call concluded, Shen Hanxue, nestled within Su Changfeng’s arms, exclaimed, "You are a divine healer now; it's truly astonishing!"

"My dear, I hadn't anticipated you developing such a mischievous streak. A word of warning: cease this playful provocation, lest I be compelled to administer a lesson," Su Changfeng playfully threatened.

Upon hearing his words, Shen Hanxue's expression shifted dramatically. She hastily implored, "No, no! I understand my error; please, do not act rashly."

"Sweetheart, how do you feel at this moment? Are you experiencing any unusual sensations?" Su Changfeng inquired, recognizing he had perhaps overstepped. He had no intention of actually 'teaching her a lesson' now. His primary concern was her well-being, a subtle anxiety lingering about potential adverse effects from Yang Ling's pearl.

"Anything different? No, is there perhaps an issue with the 'medicine' you brought back?" Shen Hanxue inquired.

"Not at all, you worry unnecessarily. I am merely concerned for your health. Rest assured, it is a divine medicine, and there should be no cause for alarm," Su Changfeng responded with a reassuring smile.

Yet, deep within, he harbored a profound certainty. While no outward signs were yet apparent, the pearl would undoubtedly instigate transformations within Shen Hanxue. The legacy of Yang Ling was never one of simplicity; its creations were bound to possess extraordinary properties.

If his own skull could be altered, thereby transforming Chen Qingqing, then the pearl was surely capable of far more than merely curing Shen Hanxue.

"Are you leaving again?" Shen Hanxue's voice suddenly held a note of wistfulness. Though she hesitated to voice the thought, she understood implicitly that Su Changfeng's return was precipitated by her illness. Now that she had recovered, his departure seemed inevitable.

"It should be within the next few days. However, fret not, I shall resolve matters swiftly on the other side, paving the way for my permanent return to your side," Su Changfeng assured her.

The pang of separation had, by unfortunate necessity, become a familiar companion in their relationship. Shen Hanxue had, over time, resigned herself to this reality, especially since Su Changfeng's true identity was revealed, leading to his infrequent presence in Jiang City.

Undeniably, Shen Hanxue possessed the understanding to accept Su Changfeng's departures. After all, life was an intricate tapestry woven with unavoidable obligations and duties. As a married couple, mutual support and reliance were paramount virtues.

"Very well, be safe out there. Niannian and I will await your safe return," Shen Hanxue declared.

Outside the gates of Xianwu Mountain Villa.

Upon Shangguan Sichen's arrival, he efficiently, albeit somewhat brusquely, dispersed the gathered physicians. Nevertheless, their tenacity remained unshaken. The miraculous recovery of Shen Hanxue had profoundly impacted them, igniting an insatiable curiosity regarding the unique methods Su Changfeng had employed.

"Esteemed Mr. Shangguan, we implore you, grant us an audience with the divine healer. Rest assured, we shall not cause undue disturbance; a single meeting is all we seek."

"Indeed, his skill is unparalleled, having reversed the effects of aging syndrome. Should he deign to share his treatment protocols, countless lives could be immeasurably benefited."

"Precisely! This is an unprecedented medical marvel. We are desperate to comprehend the very essence of his healing process!"

"..."

A chorus of voices erupted, the physicians visibly animated by their fervent inquiries.

Shangguan Sichen regarded the throng with a palpable air of disdain. He saw through their pronouncements of altruistic concern, recognizing the underlying currents of self-interest and personal ambition that truly fueled their persistence.

"I’ll give you one final warning. If you don’t depart swiftly, I cannot guarantee the safety of your families," Shangguan Sichen stated with chilling finality.

These individuals were fully aware of Shangguan Sichen’s ruthlessness. Understanding that their presence in Jiang City was linked to him, they didn't question his ominous words.

Upon hearing Shangguan Sichen’s veiled threat, many reconsidered their options, and half of the crowd gathered outside the villa dispersed immediately. Nevertheless, a few, driven by the allure of profit, let greed override concerns for their loved ones' well-being.

"Since you refuse to heed my counsel, do not fault me for employing harsher measures," Shangguan Sichen declared, his gaze piercingly fixed on the remaining few as he reached for his phone.

A few eager individuals rushed forward to intercept Shangguan Sichen.

"Patriarch Shangguan, we harbor no ill intent. We merely seek an audience with the divine healer; kindly grant us this opportunity."

"Indeed, our sole desire is to meet the divine healer. Please, fulfill this request for us."

"Patriarch Shangguan, this matter is of great importance. The divine healer's medical prowess is unparalleled; we only wish to converse with him."

Medical prowess?

Hah.

Shangguan Sichen let out a cold laugh. Su Changfeng’s connection had little to do with healing arts, yet his capabilities were more than sufficient to dominate the medical world. This Tuo Shi region was not only a haven for martial arts practitioners but also harbored unspoken mysteries. In Shangguan Sichen’s estimation, Su Changfeng possessed the potential to ascend to the rank of Squad Leader within Shangyun Pavilion.

Such a position of supreme honor and authority was not for common folk in the mortal realm to casually request an audience with.

"You likely do not comprehend the extent of my influence, and thus are unclear about my methods. However, you will soon discover that defiance against me leads only to a grim conclusion," Shangguan Sichen articulated with icy composure.

They exchanged uneasy glances, never anticipating Shangguan Sichen’s unyielding stance. It was merely a request for a meeting, yet he adamantly refused.

No one was willing to face death pointlessly. Consequently, those who had lingered hesitantly decided to depart as well.
