They had only known each other for a few short days.
Yet Lu Yun was already losing count of how many times this man had stunned her.
"..."
But stranger still was this.
After her brief shock, she somehow felt that all of this made perfect sense!
Of course...
For someone who could finish off those two Heaven-Holding Old Ancestors as easily as slaughtering chickens and dogs...
What was so remarkable about impersonating one of them, the Wang Family Old Ancestor, to deliver medicine?
It was only to her that it seemed as incredible as a fantasy!
"Take it."
Ye Li nodded calmly.
"Consider it payment for keeping watch for me earlier."
He pondered briefly, then added:
"When I sent the Wang Family Old Ancestor here, I didn't deliberately conceal his presence."
"From now on, there probably won't be anyone in this city foolish enough to trouble you two."
"If you ever run into trouble you can't resolve, go to the Kong Family's former estate."
"Just give them my name."
With those words...
Before Lu Yun could thank him, the purple-robed figure vanished on the spot.
Silence returned to the courtyard.
Only the uproar that this important figure's appearance had stirred throughout the city still echoed in the distance.
"..."
Lu Yun gripped the jade bottle tightly.
Her breathing quickened beyond her control.
What this jade bottle held... was far more than her mother's life.
It also held an unfamiliar kindness she had never even dared to imagine!
"Yun..."
Beside her, Lu Yun's Mother had long since recovered from her initial shock.
Now, seeing her daughter looking so dazed and deeply moved...
She suddenly understood.
But along with that understanding came a silent sigh.
...What a shame.
What a shame her daughter's heartfelt affection was.
It was already a miracle
