Finally, after finishing the treatment for the two, Chu Yang was utterly exhausted, drenched in sweat. He plopped down onto the ground, panting heavily, his face pale. The two of them felt even more guilty seeing how hard he had worked for them.
This young brother is truly an honest person.
Chu Yang weakly rolled his eyes and said, “You two old brothers… cough, cough, cough, there’s something I must remind you, don’t blame me… having shallow ties and deep words…”
The two of them replied in unison, “Little brother, just say what you want. There’s no need for politeness between us.”
Chu Yang gasped, “These two prescriptions… must not… fall into the hands of that quack doctor, otherwise… you two old brothers… I’m really worried… the martial arts world is unpredictable… cough, cough, cough…”
Sha Xinliang and Qin Baoshan both nodded repeatedly, “If you don’t say anything, we understand the risks involved. This matter cannot be known by others. Not to mention that bastard has ulterior motives, we have many enemies in the martial arts world. If they find out about our severe injuries, they will swarm to us… that would be disastrous.”
Chu Yang nodded repeatedly, coughing again, seemingly too tired to catch his breath.
Sha Xinliang and Qin Baoshan each took a side, kindly patting his back to help him breathe, applying just the right amount of force.
“Once the medicines are gathered, hand them over to me immediately… or call me here. I have secret methods… to refine the medicine…” Chu Yang's breathing became somewhat smoother, “Remember, these herbs must be preserved well, preferably freshly picked for optimal effectiveness…”
“Of course, once we gather the herbs, we’ll deliver them to you, little brother.” The two assured him earnestly.
“No need… the Chu Family has too many eyes and ears, it wouldn’t be good to expose your secrets, my old brothers. After all, after taking the medicine, you two will have a period of weakness… as long as the herbs arrive. At that time, I will bring the alchemy furnace here and refine the medicine on the spot.” Chu Yang was very considerate, revealing all the final dangers and avoiding them…
“When the time comes, I will not leave your side until you both recover. Only then will I feel at ease.”
The two of them simultaneously grabbed Chu Yang's hand, shaking it vigorously with tears in their eyes. They didn’t know what to say. This was exactly the concern they had, but Chu Yang had already solved it neatly for himself.
What a good person.
Sha Xinliang suddenly felt ashamed, thinking to himself how inhumane he was, just a moment ago considering killing such a good young brother to silence him and steal back three hundred Amethyst… sigh, compared to his open and upright heart, he truly felt like a beast…
Then Chu Yang began to gasp for breath and rest. Meanwhile, his gaze flickered as if he had something to say but couldn’t bring it out. His expression showed hesitation and a bit of confusion.
Sha Xinliang and Qin Baoshan were seasoned veterans of the martial arts world. How could they not notice Chu Yang’s unusual behavior? Although they were eager to find the herbs, upon seeing Chu Yang’s expression, they felt uneasy and asked, “Little brother, it seems you’re worried about something?”
“Yes. I am indeed worried…” Chu Yang seemed absent-minded, casually saying a sentence before realizing, “No, no, no, I’m not worried, ha ha, not worried at all, ha ha ha…”
The smile was extremely forced, and anyone could see that he was panicking, or rather… extremely apprehensive, with many concerns.
The two were puzzled and pretended to be angry, frowning: “Little brother, since we call each other brothers, do you really have something to hide from us old brothers? If that’s the case, how disappointed we would be.”
“But… this is just my speculation, I can’t be sure, and it’s a serious matter concerning the Law Enforcement Hall… uh, it’s nothing… uh, I can’t say…” Chu Yang expressed his grievance.
