Ling Yan carefully placed the unconscious Ye He on the bed. He extended his right hand and placed it on Ye He's left wrist. A small amount of true essence entered Ye He's body from the fingertips of Ling Yan's right hand.

After a while, Ling Yan, who had his eyes closed, frowned. After which, he opened his eyes.

"Yan-gege, how is daddy?" Ye Chong'er looked nervously at Ling Yan, asking urgently. His hands were tightly clasped together, trembling slightly, afraid to hear any bad news.

Blood attacked his heart and his body turned cold. Originally, Ye He was suffering from the illness mentioned in the books and could only live for a year or two. Now that he had been infuriated by those ingrate, he was afraid that it would not be long …

Thinking of this, Ling Yan tightly clenched his fist. Just a moment ago, he had simply bandaged his right fist a little. In an instant, blood once again flowed out, staining the white gauze red.

Seeing Ling Yan in such a state, Ye Chong'er's face paled, and his delicate body immediately began to totter, his beautiful eyes couldn't help but become misty.

"Wu wu, Big Brother Yan, I'm so scared …" Ye Chong'er could not help but throw herself into Ling Yan's embrace, and burst into tears.

She was just like Ling Yan, who had lost his mother at a young age. Fortunately, his father had always loved her dearly and lived like a little princess, and now, even his only family member had to leave her. She was only a weak little girl, not as resolute as Ling Yan was.

"Yuanyuan'er is not afraid, let's leave immediately for South Tong City. This is the largest city in the country of South Tong, there must be a wise doctor who can save Uncle Ye!" Ling Yan gently patted Ye Chong's head, and reached out his hand to wipe away the tear stains on her cheeks. A flash of inspiration passed through his mind, and he spoke with determination.

"That's right, that's right. South Tongcheng is the capital of our South Tong Kingdom. It's the most prosperous city in our country. It's definitely possible." Ye Chong'er lifted her head. Her eyes were red, but they were shining brightly, as if she saw hope.

Ye He woke up. He looked as if he had instantly aged by several tens of years and didn't even have the strength to speak, only his constantly trembling lips and sunken eyes were fixedly staring at Ling Yan. Ling Yan could feel something as he bent down and pressed his ear against Ye He's mouth.

"Rock..." Yanzi, no need to go … Uncle Ye … Fear... He was afraid that he couldn't take it anymore, as there was a box on the bedside table … Yes... There was one thing, and that was the year before last... I went out to collect the materials, and then I... It fell out of the metal during the forging process, so it should be able to be swapped for something else … . (see note: Uhh@@ Not a small sum of money, you... You take it, my daughter... "Please take care of me, thank you …"

Ye He strenuously chattered on and on. Before he could finish thanking Ling Chen, his body trembled as his voice suddenly stopped. He slowly closed his eyes, and the rough hand that was on Ling Yan's shoulder powerlessly drooped down.

"Daddy!" Ye Chong'er threw herself onto Ye He's ice-cold body, and started wailing, "Wuwuwu, Daddy, don't go. Yuanyuan'er doesn't want you to go, don't …"

The cries of despair were heart-wrenching.

To the side, Ling Yan slightly lowered his head and was silent.

Suddenly, two barely discernible tears slowly rolled down Ling Yan's face, soundlessly falling to the ground.

Uncle Ye, when I was three years old, my father entrusted me to you. In these twelve years, you took care of me as your own son, gave me the best food, and even allowed me to learn your exquisite blacksmithing skills. Later on, with my martial arts talent, I decided to practice martial arts.

"Yuanyuan'er is your daughter, don't worry. Even if you don't say anything, I will do everything I can to make her live a good life. I, Yanzi, promise with my life!"

Ling Yan slowly clenched his fists. After taking in a deep breath, he raised his head with a resolute expression.
