While on Mount Hua, my mind is at peace!

Chapter 48 A son should be like my nephew Yue!

As the saying goes, "No one knows a son better than his father." Liu Zhengfeng had always been clear about Liu Qin's personality, but he was too old to discipline him strictly.

He had considered entrusting Liu Qin to Master Mo for instruction, but firstly, he had a grudge against Master Mo, and secondly, he really couldn't bear to part with his youngest son, so he kept putting it off.

Now that Mr. Mo had brought it up, Liu Zhengfeng didn't hesitate any longer. After thanking him, he immediately agreed.

Seeing that Liu Qin remained unconscious, Liu Zhengfeng and the other two quickly began to treat her. However, after working for a long time, even the most skilled of the three, Master Mo, could only wake Liu Qin up for a short while.

Liu Qin was fine when she was still asleep, but as soon as she woke up, she started crying and screaming, yelling something like "Do it again!" Liu Zhengfeng was shocked and angry, but there was nothing he could do. Just as he was worrying, a tall figure appeared at the door. It was Yue Feng.

Yue Feng frowned deeply and said immediately upon meeting me, "I was taking a walk in the manor just now when I saw a person dressed in hemp clothing and wearing a mask coming this way, so I followed him. Unexpectedly, that person was extremely vigilant, exchanged a few blows with me, and then fled. Are you all alright, seniors?"

Liu Zhengfeng, Qu Yang, and Master Mo exchanged bewildered glances, finally understanding why the mysterious man hadn't come to the study—he'd been chased away by Yue Feng. Master Mo said:

"Nephew Yue, you've come at the right time. Your junior brother has fallen victim to that mysterious person's schemes, and the three of us old folks are no good anymore. Could you come and see if you have any ideas?"

Yue Feng offered a few words of thanks, then placed his finger on Liu Qin's pulse. Liu Zhengfeng saw Yue Feng's brows furrowing deeper and deeper, and his heart pounded with anxiety. After a long while, Yue Feng withdrew his finger, hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Junior Brother Liu has a wisp of true energy within his body, as thin as a spider's thread. Its nature is unique, and it is extremely difficult to detect. I can try to expel it, but whether I can succeed is still uncertain."

Liu Zhengfeng was overjoyed. He, Qu Yang, and Master Mo had all tried to expel the true energy with their internal force, but they couldn't detect it at all. Yue Feng's words were like the dawn in the long night.

Yue Feng said, "I'm making a fool of myself," and placed his palm on Liu Qin's chest. Just as he was about to use his internal energy, Master Mo stopped him.

"Wait, Nephew Yue, is there something you haven't told us? Won't treating this kid's injuries cause you any harm?"

Yue Feng hesitated for a moment, then said with a wry smile, "To be honest, elders, this is quite taxing on my internal energy. Under normal circumstances, it would be fine; I could recover in a little more time. But..."

Yue Feng didn't finish his sentence, but Liu Zhengfeng and the others understood. Yes, the grand ceremony of washing hands of one's martial arts was just a few days away, and Yue Feng was a pillar of their side. To weaken him at this crucial moment would be tantamount to self-destruction.

Liu Zhengfeng immediately said, "Nephew Yue, I appreciate your kindness, but I think that although your junior brother has this extra true energy in his body, it shouldn't be fatal?"

Yue Feng nodded: "Yes, the person who made the move was probably just doing it as punishment and didn't really intend to hurt Junior Brother Liu."

"In that case, let's wait until the 'washing hands of one' ceremony is over before discussing it further."

Since Liu Zhengfeng had said so, Qu Yang and Mr. Mo naturally had no objections. Just as Liu Zhengfeng was about to order someone to take Liu Qin away and hand her over to his wife, Yue Feng glanced at Liu Jing and said:

"Uncle Liu, I haven't finished speaking. It will indeed take a lot of effort to completely expel the foreign true energy from Junior Brother Liu's body; but if we just suppress it and prevent it from causing trouble, it won't be a big problem."

Overjoyed, Liu Zhengfeng grabbed Yue Feng's arm: "Nephew, is what you say true?"

Yue Feng laughed, "How could I, your junior uncle, dare to deceive you?" Liu Jing, watching the sincere smile on Yue Feng's face, felt her heart inexplicably race, and a faint blush crept onto her cheeks. Wu Shuangxue saw this and secretly snorted.

Liu Zhengfeng released Yue Feng, and Yue Feng immediately placed his palm against Liu Qin's chest, channeling a wisp of Giant Spirit Golden Body True Qi into Liu Qin's meridians, thus imprisoning the barely perceptible wisp of Golden Wind Jade Dew Finger Force. This finger force was elusive to others, but to him, it was readily available and easily dismissed.

After Yue Feng finished restraining Liu Qin, he raised his hand and gently touched the Tanzhong acupoint on Liu Qin's chest with his fingertips. Liu Qin trembled violently, opened his eyes blankly, and saw Liu Zhengfeng looking at him with concern. He weakly called out, "...Father?"

Liu Zhengfeng slapped Liu Qin across the face: "You little brat, how dare you call me father! Who told you to leak Uncle Qu's location! If it weren't for your brother Yue's intervention..." He grew angrier as he spoke, raising his hand to slap Liu Qin again.

Yue Feng quickly stepped forward and pulled Liu Zhengfeng back: "Alright, Uncle Liu, you've slapped my junior brother's face until it's swollen. He just woke up and hasn't recovered yet. Let's talk about it after he's rested."

Liu Zhengfeng sighed deeply, "A son should be like my nephew Yue!" He ordered someone to take Liu Qin away and hand him over to his mother for care. Yue Feng, Liu Jing, and Wu Shuangxue bid farewell to the three and returned to Yue Feng's room together. As soon as they closed the door, Liu Jing couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Wu Shuangxue said coldly, "He lied to your father like that, and you can still laugh?"

Liu Jing smiled and said, "I know Brother Yue's intention in doing this; it's for Qin'er's good and for my family's good. Why can't I smile?"

Wu Shuangxue was very upset and wanted to leave, but she was worried about Yue Feng and Liu Jing being together.

"Miss Liu, it's very late, aren't you going back to your room to sleep?"

Liu Jing glanced at Yue Feng, who was washing up, and bit her lip.

"Hmm...it's time to go back. Sister Wu, why don't you come back with me? Otherwise, if the servants see you alone in Brother Yue's room, and gossip spreads, it won't sound good."

Wu Shuangxue nodded calmly, "That's true, let's go together then." The two women said goodbye to Yue Feng and left together.

Yue Feng had spent the whole night with these people, and although he had achieved his goal of teaching Liu Qin a lesson and earned some Tongda Points along the way, he was really exhausted. He climbed into bed, extinguished the candle, and was about to go to sleep when suddenly the window beside the bed opened by itself without any wind, and a graceful figure silently jumped in.

Upon seeing that familiar figure and smelling that familiar fragrance, Yue Feng said helplessly, "Didn't you just leave? Why are you back again?"

Wu Shuangxue stood at the head of the bed and coldly asked, "Are you interested in that little girl Liu Jing? Do you like gentle and charming women?"

Yue Feng clicked his tongue: "You're overthinking it, sister. Do you think I'm some lecherous man who falls for every woman I see?"

"Even if you're not, what if another woman throws herself at you? Would you refuse?"

"Why should I refuse?" Yue Feng said matter-of-factly. "Give me a reason."

"Fine, you want a reason, right?" Wu Shuangxue gritted her teeth and suddenly threw herself into Yue Feng's arms. "I'll give you plenty of reasons."
