Chapter 387: Chapter 387: The Money House Guild (Part 1)

Looking at Yun Duo’s eager yet exceptionally clear and beautiful eyes, Zhu Fei couldn’t help but sigh softly in his heart.

She felt that Yun Duo was just too innocent. Considering her mother dared to speak those words in front of her own daughter, she must have anticipated Yun Duo’s simple mind and knew she wouldn’t think of anything else.

Such a girl, living in the harsh, survival-of-the-fittest Cultivation World, it’s hard to say whether it’s sad or unfortunate.

"Yun, don’t worry," Zhu Fei pulled his thoughts back and smiled faintly at Yun Duo, then continued, "Although your mother’s illness is somewhat complicated, for me, if I want to cure it, it’s not too difficult."

"Do you have any silver needles here? If so, bring me some, and I’ll start by properly regulating your mother’s condition."

"I do... I do, Brother Zhu, I’ll... I’ll go get them for you right now."

Yun Duo’s face was brimming with joy.

After bowing to Zhu Fei, she hurriedly left the room to fetch the silver needles for him.

Watching Yun Duo’s retreating figure, Yun Mu suddenly grabbed Zhu Fei’s hand with an earnest tone, "Young Master Zhu, I’m sure you’ve seen the situation my family is in by now. May I ask you for a favor?"

Yun Mu’s words immediately put Zhu Fei in a somewhat difficult position.

Because even without asking, he could somewhat guess what kind of help Yun Mu was referring to.

Given the current situation, the help Yun Mu wanted was likely related to taking care of her children.

Although he had a good impression of the Yun siblings, if he were to look after them or even bring them along, it was obviously not realistic.

As if she sensed Zhu Fei’s difficulty, Yun Mu finally realized her presumption at that moment.

A hint of disappointment flashed across her face, and she couldn’t help but bitterly smile and shake her head, "I’m sorry, Young Master Zhu, I was presumptuous just now."

Looking at Yun Mu’s face filled with bitterness, and recalling the innocence of the Yun siblings, Zhu Fei’s heart eventually softened slightly.

After a brief pondering, he finally said, "Auntie, it’s not that I’m unwilling to help you, but the path I walk is not suitable for Yun and the others to follow."

Pausing for a moment, Zhu Fei continued, "How about this? I’ll be staying at your estate for the near future. If you need anything during this time, I’ll do my best to help. What do you think?"

Yun Mu hadn’t expected Zhu Fei to agree to stay at their home. Even though Zhu Fei said he wouldn’t stay long, this still filled her with joy beyond expectation.

"Brother Zhu, I’ve brought the silver needles you asked for."

Just at that moment, Yun Duo reappeared in the room, holding a jade box in her hands.

She handed the jade box containing the silver needles to Zhu Fei, and her beautiful eyes were full of anticipation.

Zhu Fei took the jade box and smiled faintly at Yun Duo, "Yun, rest assured, as long as your mother’s illness is regulated properly in the future, there shouldn’t be any major issues."

After finishing his words, Zhu Fei signaled to Yun Mu.

Once Yun Mu nodded and lay back down on the sickbed, Zhu Fei then picked up several silver needles and swiftly inserted them into her key acupoints.

...

A little over two hours later, Zhu Fei put away the silver needles.

He glanced at Yun Mu, who had already fallen asleep, and then took out a medicine prescription from his own body and handed it to Yun Duo, who was looking on with anticipation. He smiled and said,

"Rest assured, I have now essentially controlled your mother’s illness. This is the prescription I have prepared for your mother. The majority of the ingredients are just common medicinal herbs, so I believe with your means, purchasing them should not pose any difficulty."

Yun Duo gratefully bowed to Zhu Fei after receiving the prescription and then carefully put away the piece of paper.

"By the way, Yun, did your brother tell you about how long he would be away? Why hasn’t he returned yet?"

Zhu Fei asked with a slight frown, his voice filled with a hint of confusion, after seeing Yun Duo secure the prescription.

He felt that Yun Jian had been gone for a little too long. Even if he had gone to sell the materials from the Red Wild Boar, it wouldn’t make sense for him not to have returned by now, would it?

At this moment, Yun Duo also recalled this concern. Her face, which had been joyful, suddenly showed a trace of worry and anxiety.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Just then, a series of urgent knocks suddenly came from the gate of the courtyard where the two were.

This startled both Zhu Fei and Yun Duo.

Yun Duo, not having time to think further, quickly ran out of her mother’s room to the courtyard gate and immediately opened the door.

"Duoduo, it’s not good! When I was coming back from the North Gate, I seemed to have seen your brother quarreling with someone!"

As soon as Yun Duo opened the courtyard gate, she saw a sixteen-year-old girl who immediately began to speak anxiously.

"Huang... Huang Yiyi, my... my... my brother, what... what exactly..."

Upon hearing the words of the girl named Huang Yiyi, Yun Duo became so anxious that her speech became increasingly stammered.

She stammered for a long time, her pretty face turning bright red, but she couldn’t articulate a complete sentence.

"Yun, don’t worry, let me ask about this matter."

At this point, Zhu Fei had come over to Yun Duo’s side. He gently patted her back to comfort her before turning to look at the girl called Huang Yiyi.

He noticed that this Huang Yiyi, although not particularly beautiful, looked very delicate and her cultivation had reached the Qi Refining Second Level.

Huang Yiyi, upon seeing a young man in Yun Duo’s house, was momentarily surprised.

However, when she heard Zhu Fei call Yun Duo "Yun," she immediately felt relieved and her gaze towards Zhu Fei also contained a bit more curiosity.

"You’re called Huang Yiyi, right? Hello, my name is Zhu Fei. I am a friend of Duoduo and her brother. Could you please tell me what exactly happened, the matter you just mentioned?"

Zhu Fei withdrew his gaze from Huang Yiyi and asked in a decidedly serious tone.

"Oh, Brother Zhu, hello. I’m their neighbor, Duoduo’s."

Huang Yiyi briefly explained her relationship with Yun Duo and her brother, pausing for a moment, before continuing,

"Just now, as I was coming back from the North Gate, I passed by the moneylender’s shop and happened to see Brother Yun arguing with the people inside. It seemed like they wouldn’t let Brother Yun leave, saying if he didn’t leave the items behind, they would make him regret it or something."

Huang Yiyi, her eyes showing dissatisfaction, spoke with anger in her voice,

"I wanted to help Brother Yun, but then I saw others who tried to intervene were all driven away by the people from the moneylender’s shop. I decided not to go over since their people tend to be overbearing in their actions. They really go too far!"
