Even with the Su family’s wealth, just sustaining Su Hong’s own needs was already a immense strain.
If he were to take care of the organisation’s members as well, the Su family would likely face bankruptcy.
Now Xu Fei understood why Su Hong, as the head of the Su family, rarely appeared at important occasions.
It was clear now: whether it was the inconvenience of moving in the jade burial suit or the need to frequently replace jade pieces, he had to stay behind the scenes.
“The reason I tested you earlier was because the phoenix-tail jade ring you bought was sold to you by someone from the organisation.”
“They did it on purpose, saying you possess a strange power. Just sitting with you in a café for a while significantly reduced the murky qi in their bodies, which is why I…”
At this point, the pieces fell into place. Su Hong was so frail now that if he discovered Xu Fei’s uniqueness, he would likely go so far as to offer Su Yu to Xu Fei to ensure he stayed.
“I can help you, no problem, but you made a fundamental mistake!”
“What mistake?”
“You absolutely shouldn’t have used the jade earrings to test your own daughter under the pretext of preserving your life, understand?”
Xu Fei was deadly serious, his resolute gaze making Su Hong immediately shut his mouth in fear.
“For Su Yu’s sake, I’ll help you this once. As for the people from your former organisation, we’ll deal with that later.”
With that, Xu Fei gestured for Su Hong to sit down, then placed his hand on Su Hong’s wrist.
As he began, Xu Fei quickly realised Su Hong’s condition was far from optimistic.
Although the homemade jade burial suit could temporarily preserve his life, in reality, every strand of murky qi was insidiously eroding Su Hong’s body, leaving it like a piece of rotten wood riddled with holes.
The situation was so complex that Xu Fei sighed softly, then began to channel the yang energy within him, inserting a silver needle.
The hidden murky qi vanished without a trace the moment it encountered the true qi.
The entire process took only a few minutes.
“It’s done!”
Even without Xu Fei’s words, Su Hong could feel it himself. He was finally free, his body feeling so light it was as if he were twenty again.
“I don’t know how to repay this kindness…”
“No need to rush to express gratitude. After all, people like you often go back on their word.”
Hearing this, Su Hong’s face showed a hint of embarrassment, which he quickly masked with a smile.
“That’s enough, it’s late, go rest.”
Xu Fei then returned to his guest room.
Having expended considerable energy clearing the murky qi, Xu Fei felt somewhat exhausted.
He entered the room without even turning on the light, collapsing onto the bed to sleep.
“Strange… why is this bed so soft…?”
Half-asleep, Xu Fei was startled awake. He quickly got up, only to realise he had been lying on top of the Su sisters.
“Master, get up quick, you’re crushing me…”
Xu Fei hurriedly turned on the light, seeing Su Yu climb out of bed, rubbing her chest, the atmosphere turning awkward.
“Why are you in here?”
