Chapter 376: Chapter 377: Enemies on a Narrow Path

An ordinary person would have been helpless, but Li Yang was Li Yang.

In Li Yang’s hands, nothing was impossible.

Before long, Li Yang had reconnected all the meridians.

A little over an hour later, Brother Hua got out of bed and walked a few laps around the room.

"This... I’m completely healed!" Brother Hua said in disbelief.

Li Yang sat there calmly, not the least bit surprised.

’It’s not really surprising,’ he thought. ’I could do this in minutes.’

He Zinan was dumbfounded. Li Yang’s medical skills had once again shattered her understanding of what was possible.

Li Yang smiled faintly and said, "You’re fine now. You won’t be a cripple for life."

"Thank you!" Brother Hua said earnestly to Li Yang. "I’m so, so grateful. If I said anything offensive before, please don’t hold it against me."

Li Yang gave a faint smile. "It’s alright. You can go back now. You’re fine."

Brother Hua nodded and hurried out.

He Zinan glanced at Li Yang, then said after a moment of thought, "Your medical skills are truly incredible."

Li Yang just smiled faintly.

Night fell quickly, and Li Yang and the others gathered for dinner.

The people at the meal included He Tianba and his close confidants, as well as Mr. Zhang and Wu Jinshui.

"Your leg..." Just then, Wu Jinshui’s eyes narrowed as he watched Brother Hua walk over.

"It’s healed!" Brother Hua, still harboring resentment, sneered. "I suppose I have you to thank for that."

Wu Jinshui’s face suddenly filled with killing intent. He looked at them and demanded, "Who healed him?"

Instantly, the atmosphere plunged to a freezing point.

He Zinan spoke up. "Mr. Wu, I think we should let this matter drop. Brother Hua suspected you, but he also received a fitting punishment..."

"What right do you have to speak to me?" Wu Jinshui asked coldly, looking at He Zinan.

He Zinan froze, on the verge of exploding with fury.

But just then, Li Yang stood up. "I’m the one who healed him."

"You?" Mr. Zhang turned to Li Yang. "You’ve got some nerve. Do you dare to save someone my apprentice and I have dealt with? Are you looking down on us?"

Li Yang was about to say something, but He Tianba cut in. "Mr. Zhang, I, He Tianba, invited you here, but not to lay a hand on my men."

Mr. Zhang glanced at He Tianba.

He Tianba sat there, his face radiating a murderous aura.

"You crippled my sworn son. The fact that I haven’t settled the score with you is me showing you respect. I invited you here to help me, which doesn’t mean I’m afraid of you. Besides, you’ve taken my money. To act like this—do you have no regard for the ethics of the Jianghu?"

Mr. Zhang suddenly burst out laughing. "Mr. He’s lesson is well-taught. Alright, Jinshui, you crippled the man. If they had the skill to save him, that’s their ability. Let it go."

Wu Jinshui was clearly not convinced. He made a throat-slitting gesture at Li Yang before finally sitting down to eat.

After that, however, the mood soured, and everyone’s expressions turned grim.

They had originally thought the people He Tianba hired would be their backup, not this unruly.

He Zinan was also very displeased. It looked like she wanted to say something to He Tianba, but after a single glance, she said nothing and just continued to eat.

The meal ended quickly. Afterward, everyone returned to their rooms.

After returning to his room, He Zinan found Li Yang. "Don’t wander around tonight."

Li Yang thought for a moment. "Are you afraid that crazy master and apprentice duo will come after me?"

He Zinan’s expression was grim. "It’s clear now that those two are not good people. Don’t go running around, or I’m afraid they’ll really make a move on you."

Li Yang smiled, then finally asked, "This master and apprentice... are they a match for the people Liu Tong has hired?"

At his question, He Zinan’s face grew even more grim. She shook her head. "You don’t need to worry about that. We’ll handle it ourselves. If anything goes wrong, just get yourself out of here. Don’t worry about me."

Li Yang was taken aback.

After a moment, he said, "How could I do that? I came here with you. Since we came together, we’ll naturally leave together."

But He Zinan said seriously, "I’m not joking. This place is dangerous. I already owe you my life. If something happens to you here because of me, how could I ever face that? Alright, get some sleep!"

With that, He Zinan left.

Li Yang sighed to himself.

’They’re clearly father and daughter, yet they’re so different.’

In truth, Li Yang couldn’t sleep either. This was the first time he had encountered a situation like this, and he found it so novel that he couldn’t fall asleep.

Since he couldn’t sleep, he simply left his room.

The villa grounds were quite expansive.

Besides the buildings, there was even a small hill on the property.

Li Yang strolled over to the foot of the hill.

As luck would have it, Wu Jinshui and his master were there as well.

Upon seeing Li Yang, Wu Jinshui gave a sinister smile and walked toward him.

Li Yang raised an eyebrow. ’Looking for trouble?’

"Hold it!" Sure enough, Wu Jinshui stopped in front of Li Yang and said coldly, "You still haven’t given me an explanation for what happened this afternoon."
