Cultivation Pet Shop

Seeing that Lin Fan wasn't worried, the two girls knitted their brows even more before choosing to leave right away.

After what had just happened, they would definitely have to report back to their respective families and see how they would handle this.

They didn't know why Lin Fan was so important to their grandparents, but he seemed important enough. Now that he was in trouble, they would definitely want to know about this and most likely help him.

If it was said that the two of them didn't want to help Lin Fan either, it would be considered a lie. They had only met Lin Fan for a bit, but they felt like they could be friends with him.

Well, one of them did want to be more than friends, but the other one was still unclear.

But as for Lin Fan himself, he didn't care about any of this. For now, he could see that no one else would be coming into his store today, so there was no need for him to keep this store open for the rest of the day. After all, the videos of what had happened with He Yong would definitely be spreading all over the forums, that meant that almost no one would dare to shop at his store before the matter was settled out of fear of offending the City Lord. It wasn't worth it just to keep his store open for those few people since there was something else that he needed to do.

Since he had already offended the City Lord, it meant that he would have to make his own moves to ensure his safety.

Of course, the top priority would be to obtain information and the only people that he could rely on right now was the Xu Family.

So after closing the store, Lin Fan immediately headed off to the Xu Family.

…

In another part of Harmony City, there was a beast carriage that had just pulled up to a manor when someone rushed out to meet it.

That person completely ignored all the people who had gathered around the carriage, he even ignored the two Child Soul Realm Experts who were sitting inside as he rushed to the side of He Yong.

He knitted his brows the moment he saw He Yong's injuries, but he didn't lose his temper. Instead, he had a cold look on his face that seemed like it could freeze the entire world.

Even the people around him couldn't help taking a step back as a chill ran down their backs.

This person was He Wuji, the City Lord of Harmony City and the father of He Yong.

He was filled with rage that his beloved son was in this state, but he also knew that there was no point in getting angry now without getting the information he wanted.

He looked at the two Child Soul Realm Experts and he could tell that these two had gone all out to protect his son based on their sorry state, but he was still enraged with them because he thought that instead of his son getting hurt, it would have been better for the two of them to die instead.

Still, without knowing the entire situation, there was nothing to gain from getting angry, so He Wuji asked, "What happened?"

When the two Child Soul Realm Experts heard this, they felt a chill run down their back.

They had followed He Wuji since his days as a wandering cultivator and it had been a long time since they had heard this chill in his voice. Of course, they had never heard it directed at them before…

The two Child Soul Realm Experts quickly explained what happened and when they finished, they fell silent as they waited for He Wuji to speak.

He Wuji knew that for these two to not even sense what had happened to his son, it meant that whoever was in that store had to be an expert that might even be at his level. Not to mention that strange force that the two Child Soul Realm Experts mentioned, it was something that he couldn't understand at all.

It was clear that there had to be some kind of expert who was behind this store or his son would have never would have ended in this state.

But for such an expert to appear in his city and for him to not know about it, he couldn't help feeling a bit of regret and a bit of fear.

What if this wasn't just a coincidence, but their goal was to target his family?

Could it be that this was a move from one of the twelve great factions?

After thinking about it, he waved his hand at the two Child Soul Realm Experts to let them treat their wounds. The two Child Soul Realm Experts acted like they had just been pardoned and immediately headed into the manor.

The City Lord stood there in thought for a bit before he also headed into the manor.

For now, it seemed like he would have to collect information first before he made his move since the information that he had on this store was just too lacking. If he were to charge in like this, he would definitely suffer a loss.

He went into the hall of the house that he had set aside for his son and called several subordinates over. After giving them their orders, he started pacing outside of the room that his son was being treated in. To the side, his wife was crying as she kept asking him if their son was going to be alright, but there was nothing that he could say to her.

It wasn't just his son that he spoiled, it was also his wife.

As an orphan, he dreamed of having a family when growing up and that was the reason why he had spoiled his son to such an extent. However, he didn't care since he was strong enough to protect his family, so he gave them whatever they wanted.

He had been confident that he would be able to protect his family from everything with his strength, but now that confidence had been shattered.

After around an hour, the doctor that was inside the room finally came out. As soon as he did, he gave a sigh before shaking his head.

Seeing this, He Wuji knitted his brows while his wife began crying once again.

As soon as he knitted his brows, the doctor immediately felt a chill that froze his back while a piercing gaze hit him right in the front. It was like being frozen on one side while being slashed to a thousand pieces on the other side.

The doctor quickly realized his mistake and came over to report to He Wuji and his wife. The doctor said, "Lord He, it's much worse than it seems. While the left arm seems to be a clean break, the bones in the right arm have been completely shattered. There's just no way to heal it properly now since the bones have already been pushed all around the arm. If we try to remove them, we might ruin his arm comple…"

The doctor swallowed his words when he reached the end because he could see the cold gaze that was aimed right at him. If gazes could do anything, this gaze from He Wuji would have eaten him alive.

He Wuji took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down before saying, "Is there any way to cure him?"

The doctor hesitated a bit before saying, "There's no way that we can solve him with normal medicine, but if we were to use some special herbs, maybe we could cure his arm. However…"

The doctor once again trailed off, but the meaning of his words were clear.

These special herbs that he mentioned were all herbs with special healing properties that could save lives. These kinds of precious herbs were all considered treasures and the ones that were qualified to keep them were peak experts who weren't weaker than He Wuji.

Even if He Wuji were to ask these experts for these herbs, it was very likely that they wouldn't give him any face because these herbs were like another life for them, so how could they give it to He Wuji to use on his son?

He Wuji was silent for a bit before asking, "Then before that, will it affect him in any way?"

The doctor didn't hesitate this time as he said, "His arm will be useless unless we can remove the bone fragments, but at the very least he'll still have one arm that he can use."

He Wuji's eyes became incredibly sharp and his voice was like a glacier as he said, "You're saying that it's a good thing that my son only has one arm left?"

The doctor wanted to say something, but he immediately swallowed his words. He knew that he had made a mistake, but there was nothing he could do here. He could only hope that He Wuji would spare him.

He Wuji silently glared at the doctor for a bit before saying in a low voice, "Scram."

The doctor didn't need any more encouragement as he quickly bowed and said, "Yes, yes, I will scram now."

With that, the doctor ran out of the manor.

The only reason He Wuji had spared this doctor was because he was the best doctor in the city and he would need him to treat his son in the future, otherwise he might have already ripped him to pieces.

However, there was still the problem of his son…

What should he do to help him?
