Chapter 356: Chapter 380: Seat Taken

To fully heal Elder Liu’s legs was indeed a formidable challenge for Fang Yi, even to the point of seeming like a fool’s dream.

Yet Fang Yi found it very challenging. If one attempt didn’t work, then he would try several more times, and Fang Yi planned to adopt a long-term strategy, slowly treating Elder Liu’s legs.

After all, Elder Liu had endured ten years; what was a moment more?

As he inserted the silver needles one by one into Elder Liu’s legs, Fang Yi exhaled a breath and also sighed in relief.

Just now, Fang Yi had manipulated the needles with True Qi, and precision was absolutely critical—deviation was not an option, or all his efforts would have been wasted.

Needle insertion wasn’t something to be taken lightly; it required meticulous precision, which was why Fang Yi was so serious and careful.

Looking at the silver needles stuck into Elder Liu’s legs, Fang Yi thought that this set of needles was ruined and that he must find time to craft another set.

Sweat formed on Fang Yi’s forehead. He stood up and took a seat, wiping his sweat with tissues that Fang Yuying handed to him from beside.

"Thank you," Fang Yi said with a smile.

"Do I still need to hear that?" Fang Yuying raised her eyebrows.

Fang Yi just smiled, choosing not to say more, and rightfully used the tissues to wipe off his sweat.

Wu Boqing had already walked up to Elder Liu, looking nervously at his old friend and asking with extreme anxiety, "Elder Liu, how do you feel?"

Elder Liu did not immediately reply to Wu Boqing but instead closed his eyes, his lips curling into a slight smile as if savoring the moment.

After a long while, Elder Liu opened his eyes and sighed deeply, "I can finally stand up..."

Hearing this, Wu Boqing was instantly stunned, then quickly turned to look at Fang Yi, his eyes filled with immense shock.

Elder Liu did not revel in the feeling for long; instead, he looked toward Fang Yi, a smile on his face, and said, "Fang Yi, I can already feel some sensation in my legs. You indeed can do it!"

Fang Yi replied with a smile, "This is just the beginning. It might take one to two months, and it might be painful during this period. Please prepare yourself mentally, Elder Liu."

At that moment, Elder Liu was in high spirits and said, "I’ve been hit by bullets before. What’s a little pain?"

Fang Yi smiled and could not argue.

Suddenly, Elder Liu’s smile slightly receded, and he looked at Fang Yi, saying, "Fang Yi, no one visits without a reason. I’ll remember this favor, Elder Liu."

The implied meaning was that he was reminding Fang Yi that he could state his request.

And that was, in fact, the primary reason for Fang Yi’s visit.

Fang Yi was straightforward and relayed the entire cause and consequences of the matter. When Elder Liu heard the name Lin Jingtian, his eyebrows furrowed sharply, and Wu Boqing beside him also displayed a slightly strange expression.

After finishing, Fang Yi lit a cigarette and waited for Elder Liu to respond.

After a long time, Elder Liu’s eyebrows slowly relaxed, and he said, "Jingtian has been with me for three years, always by my side... However, this time the honor indeed should go to you. It’s yours; others should not interfere. Let’s go to the Dragon Team tomorrow to claim this honor."

Fang Yi stood up, smiled faintly, and said, "Thank you, Elder Liu, for your trouble."

The time was also about right, so Fang Yi and Fang Yuying said their goodbyes and left together, side by side.

The two elderly men watched the young duo’s departing figures, lost in thought.

"This Fang Yi is quite remarkable," Wu Boqing remarked.

"Indeed, he is remarkable. Even those national medical masters couldn’t heal my legs, but this young man can claim he can. He truly has real skill," Elder Liu admitted with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Wu Boqing’s eyebrows suddenly raised as he said, "But having Lin Jingtian by your side for more than three years, if it’s just for this young man, it might dishearten Lin Jingtian."

Elder Liu chuckled and said, "I naturally have my limits. Besides, Lin Jingtian has been following me all along. Even though his family elders intended for him to learn from me, having him here to ’gild’ himself... this matter has somewhat deviated to the unorthodox ways."

Wu Boqing slightly nodded and didn’t say anything further. Elder Liu’s capabilities were not inferior to his.

...

After leaving Elder Liu’s old quadrangle dwelling and getting into the car, Fang Yuying started the vehicle and drove away.

"Lin Jingtian has been with Elder Liu for three years. What do you think, can Elder Liu really be ruthless?" Fang Yuying asked as she drove.

Fang Yi smiled and replied, "I can’t really speculate. That’s Elder Liu’s headache. Whatever he does, I’ll just respond accordingly."

Although that’s what he said, the confidence on Fang Yi’s face clearly revealed his assurance of holding the winning cards.

Everyone has their own motives. In fact, the outcome of this matter could somewhat be guessed; it was only the process that was a bit convoluted.

Today, Fang Yuying had a significant change of heart toward Fang Yi.

Employing such methods to deal with Lin Jingtian was somewhat circuitous, but the overall situation was firmly in Fang Yi’s hands.

"What’s our next stop?" Fang Yuying tilted her head and asked.

"Uh... This is Tianjing, you know it better than me," Fang Yi reminded.

Fang Yuying uttered, "Oh right," and then said, "Fine, older sis will take you to a place that’s bustling with people, beautiful women, and a lot of fun."

Fang Yi was somewhat amused but knew young people couldn’t just go to sleep early, so he agreed to go with Fang Yuying.

But before they went out to have fun, they first stopped at a restaurant to eat. After all, they needed energy to enjoy the night, right?

As night fell, the stars shone brightly and the neon lights glowed green.

In front of a bar, Fang Yuying parked her Rolls-Royce and came out, then made a ’missed call’ gesture.

At the door stood two typical burly men, yet they were almost as capable as the two Blood Dragon Guards Fang Yi had met during the day; they hadn’t made a move, but their strength was formidable.

Fang Yuying took out a gray card, and the burly men glanced at it before inviting them inside.

"This bar... seems extraordinary," Fang Yi remarked.

"It’s extraordinary alright, Song Hongye’s bar. Even the doormen are of the strength of the Blood Dragon Guards; no one dares to make trouble here," Fang Yuying said with a twist of her mouth, seemingly a bit displeased with Song Hongye.

"Song Hongye... Miss Hongye?" Fang Yi thought to himself.

Upon entering the bar, the interior was divided into many areas. Right after they went in, a large LCD screen displayed the different sections of the place: a noisy area, a quiet area, and other recreational spots. Guests could choose according to their preference.

They arrived at a quiet area where the music was elegant and gentle, but Fang Yuying was clearly dissatisfied with this spot and headed straight for the noisy area. As Fang Yuying’s ’little follower’, Fang Yi naturally followed her.

Before long, they reached the noisy area, which was a stark contrast to the outside. The powerful music was vibrant, and on the dance floor, many beautiful women were dancing energetically. Below the stage was a dense crowd of people, buzzing with noise.

Fang Yuying was obviously a regular here and headed straight to the second floor. Reaching the second floor, Fang Yuying looked toward a spot by the railing and immediately frowned.

"What’s wrong?" Fang Yi couldn’t help but ask.

"That’s my designated spot," Fang Yuying said with a slightly eerie tone.

"Uh..."

"Those few people are a bit tough to deal with, though," Fang Yuying added.

Hearing this, Fang Yi immediately looked up.
