Lin Fan remained unfazed, "What's the rush? I'll fix you up before we go home."
Zhao Jingui shivered all over. Every second felt longer than a year, he couldn't wait any longer!
"My dear little Grandpa Lin, if I wait any longer, I'll be in too much pain, truly!"
He said with a pained grimace.
Lin Fan glanced at him, "It'd be even better if you died of pain, then you wouldn't be able to bully the innocent anymore."
Zhao Jingui gritted his teeth, "If you let me go, my debt with Xue Deyou is cleared, no more grudges!"
Lin Fan pondered for a moment and looked at Xue Ying'er, "Wait for me outside."
"Okay."
Xue Ying'er smiled sweetly and turned to leave.
After she left the small grove, Lin Fan eyed Zhao Jingui coldly, "How much does Xue Deyou owe you?"
Zhao Jingui rolled his eyes, "It wasn't me who borrowed it, it was my brother, Jinfu."
"It seems you're still not in a hurry," Lin Fan said mockingly.
Zhao Jingui quickly corrected himself, "It's mine, all mine."
"The debts my brother collected in the village, I arranged all of them."
"I've had my eye on Xue Deyou's daughter for a long time, so I arranged for him to enter my brother's casino. After he lost all his money, I lent him ten thousand with exorbitant interest, which ballooned to two hundred thousand in three months."
"I just wanted to use this money to force him to marry his daughter to my son, to secretly be my concubine and give me a healthy son."
Zhao Jingui, in his eagerness to end his suffering, could only tell the truth.
"You truly are a beast!" Lin Fan cursed.
Xue Deyou nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, I am a beast, worse than dogs and pigs!"
Lin Fan said coldly, "A debt is a debt, and it must be repaid. I won't stop you from collecting it."
"However, every wrong has its source, and every debt has its owner. Whoever owes you, you go to them."
"If you dare to lay any more plans on Ying'er, I will kill you!"
Lin Fan had already decided that Xue Deyou had to be dealt with.
But he couldn't do it himself, as Xue Deyou was Xue Ying'er's father.
Vipers should be dealt with by vipers!
Letting Zhao Jingui handle Xue Deyou was the best course of action.
"I know what to do, I certainly won't let Xue Deyou off easily!"
Zhao Jingui, the old fox, guessed Lin Fan's intentions.
Lin Fan was still uneasy, and said sternly, "Even if you kill Xue Deyou, I won't care."
"But if you let this mother and daughter suffer even half a bit of grievance because of this matter, I will break your legs and throw you into the mountains to be fed to wolves!"
Zhao Jingui was already scared out of his wits and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I dare not harbor any further thoughts about Ying'er."
Lin Fan felt he had taught him enough of a lesson. He first secretly removed the silver needles while Zhao Jingui was not paying attention, and then proceeded to reset his dislocated limbs.
Zhao Jingui lay on the ground, breathing heavily, the pain on his face finally subsiding.
Lin Fan, no longer interested, stood up and walked out of the grove.
Seeing Ying'er sitting on the motorcycle, he smiled, "The accounts are all settled. He won't trouble you and your mother anymore."
Xue Ying'er's face was filled with gratitude, but she remained silent.
Because words of thanks felt too pale and weak.
Lin Fan got on the motorcycle and smiled back, "Hold on tight, I'll take you home."
Xue Ying'er wrapped her arms around Lin Fan's waist and rested her head on his back, feeling a deep warmth surge within her.
Lin Fan revved the engine, and the motorcycle roared forward.
"Brother Xiao Fan, I don't want to go home," Xue Ying'er said softly.
"Alright, come sit at my clinic for a while," Lin Fan said casually.
"I'll go wherever you take me, whatever you want to do, I'll do it with you..."
Xue Ying'er's hint was obvious, she wanted to be Lin Fan's woman.
Lin Fan felt the softness behind him and managed to suppress his surging desire. He rode the motorcycle to the entrance of his clinic.
Wang Honglian was anxiously waiting there.
She spotted Lin Fan from afar and shouted, "Xiao Fan, quickly, Zhao Jingui took Ying'er away!"
"Mom!"
Xue Ying'er poked her head out and waved at her mother.
Lin Fan brought the motorcycle to a steady halt.
Wang Honglian rushed over, "Ying'er, are you alright?"
Xue Ying'er jumped off the motorcycle and said, "Mom, I'm fine. Brother Xiao Fan saved me."
Wang Honglian carefully examined her daughter, noticing the dirt on her clothes. She frowned and asked, "What happened? Tell me quickly."
"That damned Zhao Jingui wanted to bully me."
"Fortunately, Brother Xiao Fan came back with enough money to save me, and he dealt with him."
"Zhao Jingui just said he won't force us to pay the money anymore."
Xue Ying'er's rosy cheeks were flushed with joy.
Her tone was full of pride, as if a new wife was boasting to her mother-in-law about how capable her husband was.
She had already prepared herself to pledge her loyalty to Lin Fan just now.
Even if Lin Fan had taken her to a cornfield, she would have been willing!
Wang Honglian was both shocked and delighted. She looked at Lin Fan with gratitude, "Xiao Fan, Auntie really doesn't know how to thank you, Auntie..."
Lin Fan quickly waved his hand, "Auntie, I ate a lot of good food at your house when I was little. I don't know how to repay you either."
He pushed open the clinic door, "Auntie, Ying'er, come in and sit down."
Suddenly, something on the ground caught his eye.
Ying'er's hairpin!
The Heaven Mending Needle!
Lin Fan bent down and picked it up, gripping it tightly in his palm.
In less than ten seconds, a large amount of spiritual energy surged into his Dantian!
This familiar feeling was like a part of his own body, lost for a long time, returning at once.
His cultivation realm had returned to the peak of the Divine Realm!
However, his internal injuries had not yet healed.
Xue Ying'er said with a blush, "I came to find you this morning, and when you weren't here, I said goodbye."
"I didn't have anything else to give you, so I slipped this hairpin through the door crack, thinking you could keep it as a memento."
Lin Fan was overjoyed, "This is great!!!"
"Dream on!"
Xue Ying'er snatched the hairpin back and rolled her eyes prettily, "I was preparing to die then. Now that I'm not dying, I naturally can't give it to you."
The moment the Heaven Mending Needle left his hand, Lin Fan felt as though he had lost something very important. A profound sense of loss washed over him, and his face was filled with helplessness.
Wang Honglian smiled kindly, "Silly child, if you want something, just say it openly. Auntie can make the decision and give her to you."
Lin Fan knew the hairpin was Xue Ying'er's dowry, and he couldn't help but give an awkward smile, "I just thought it was novel. I didn't intend to keep it for myself."
Hearing this, Xue Ying'er turned and ran away, weeping tears.
"You child, why are you so rude?"
Wang Honglian gave Lin Fan an apologetic smile, then chased after her daughter.
Unrequited love!
"Alas~"
Lin Fan sighed and closed the clinic door.
He placed the Polygonum multiflorum given by Li Xia into a clay pot.
It was indeed human-shaped, with hands and feet, and a root below!
It looked like it was embracing itself, with a faint smile on its face.
"Wow! This Polygonum multiflorum is almost a spirit!"
Lin Fan said, and then began to refine medicine.
Three hours later, a small red pill was successfully refined.
This was the Dragon Xuan Pill, which could repair internal injuries in a short period of time!
He couldn't wait to swallow it.
Soon, he felt a warm current rising in his abdomen.
Lin Fan quickly channeled his spiritual energy, guiding the warm current to his internal organs, then to the acupoints all over his body, his meridians, and his limbs.
The Dragon Xuan Pill lived up to its reputation as a second-grade spiritual medicine. Its medicinal power was extraordinary, nothing like the Crimson Blood Lingzhi. In just one night, his internal injuries were healed.
