Zhou Yu said,

“Miss Hou, don’t worry, let me take a look.”

He immediately came over to Hou Baoguo and began to examine him.

Upon checking, he found that although Hou Baoguo’s injuries were severe, they were all external.

Zhou Yu immediately poured Yi Wood True Qi into his body and began the healing process.

After ten minutes, Hou Baoguo’s injuries had greatly alleviated.

He slowly opened his eyes.

“Zhou…

Zhou Yu?

Why are you here?”

“Mr.

Hou, don’t ask questions now.

How do you feel?”

Hou Baoguo closed his eyes, and after a moment, reopened them with shock filling his eyes.

“My injuries…

they’re almost all healed.”

“Your…

your medical skills, they’re amazing.”

Zhou Yu said with a smile,

“As long as Mr.

Hou is alright, Miss Hou doesn’t have to worry anymore.”

Hou Lanyue threw herself into Hou Baoguo’s embrace.

“Grandfather, you scared me to death.”

“What exactly happened?”

“What occurred just now?”

Hou Baoguo’s face was filled with anger.

“It was Jia Songshan!

He wanted to take you away.”

“What??”

Hou Lanyue’s face changed.

“Him again, I won’t go with him, I would rather die than go with him.” Hou Lanyue was extremely agitated.

Seeing how upset both of them were, Zhou Yu asked with curiosity,

“Who is Jia Songshan?”

Hou Baoguo sighed.

“He is the grandson of one of my brothers, whose name is Jia He.

Thirty years ago, Jia He and I arranged a betrothal between our grandchildren.”

“Later on, I kept an eye on this Jia Songshan’s behavior.

At first, I was very pleased with him, but about ten years ago, he somehow got involved with some powerful influence and began to become reckless, committing adultery, pillage, and all forms of evil.”

“Despite several warnings, he did not listen and instead became even worse, so I canceled the engagement.”

“But unexpectedly, he refused to accept this, came to threaten me multiple times, and wanted to take Lanyue away.”

“I couldn’t stand it any longer and gave him a severe lesson.”

“Yet, he actually mobilized the powerful forces behind him, deploying Innate-level experts to injure me.”

“At that time, Lanyue was young.

He left word that he would come to propose again when Lanyue turned twenty-five.”

“For these ten years, I have been constantly seeking Spiritual Medicine to heal, and thankfully, you cured me a while back.”

“But my cultivation has fallen behind by too much.”

“This morning, that beast Jia Songshan appeared again.”

“He demanded that I provide the entire Hou Family for Lanyue’s dowry.

I refused, and the expert he brought with him injured me.”

“He said to prepare the dowry, for he would come to take Lanyue away in the afternoon.”

At this point, Hou Baoguo’s face was full of helplessness.

Meanwhile, Hou Lanyue had already cried herself into a tearful state.

“Zhou Yu, may I ask you for a favor?”

Zhou Yu was startled.

“Please speak.”

“I would like to entrust Lanyue to you.

If you take a liking to her, marry her.

If not, just allow Lanyue to follow you without seeking any status.

I am willing to give you all of the Hou Family’s assets.

All I ask is for Lanyue to live a happy and joyful life.”

“Grandfather… I don’t want to, I want to stay with you.” Hou Lanyue clung tightly to Hou Baoguo, her tears falling like rain.

Hou Baoguo said helplessly,

“Lanyue, Jia Songshan will come again in the afternoon.

If you don’t leave now, do you really want to spend a lifetime with him?”

“Woo, grandfather, I…”

Hou Lanyue cried even more sorrowfully.

At that moment, Zhou Yu spoke up,

“Mr.

Hou, Miss Hou, you don’t need to be so sad.”

“Since I’ve come across this situation, I will not stand by idly.”

“If that Jia Songshan dares to come, I’ll take care of him.”

Hou Baoguo’s expression hesitated.

“But you can’t protect us forever.”

Zhou Yu thought for a moment and then said with a smile,

“Mr.

Hou, I’ve noticed your cultivation has been stuck at the small Innate realm.

What if I could help you break through to the great Innate realm?”

Hou Baoguo’s body trembled.

“Really?”

He was now at the peak of the small Innate realm.

If he could break through to the great Innate realm,

the strength of his Hou Family would immediately move up a notch, becoming second only to the seven major families of the provincial city.

Thus, if Jia Songshan were to come again, he would not necessarily be able to come out on top.

But having been injured for ten years and using up all his potential to heal, this small step had become an insurmountable barrier to him.

Hearing Zhou Yu’s words, he simply couldn’t believe it was possible.

Zhou Yu said with a smile,

“Of course.”

“However, we will need some Spiritual Medicine.”

“I happen to have some here.”

Zhou Yu took out some of the Spiritual Medicine he had obtained from Elder Jie.

“We’re just lacking a few.”

Hou Baoguo was invigorated.

“In the past few years, I’ve also collected quite a bit for healing.”

“Lanyue, go get them.”

Hou Lanyue quickly stood up, wiped her tears, and ran to get the medicine.

Shortly after, all the Spiritual Medicine was laid out before them.

Zhou Yu looked them over and then smiled,

“We’re in luck, all the Spiritual Medicine we need is here.

It seems that today is destined for you, Mr.

Hou, to make a breakthrough.”

Hou Baoguo was so excited that he was even trembling.

“Zhou Yu, what do we do next?”

“Mr.

Hou, just follow my instructions.”

Upon saying that, Zhou Yu began to prepare the medicinal bath.

As all the herbs were placed in the bathtub and melted with Nether Fire True Qi by Zhou Yu, he immediately said,

“Mr.

Hou, get in now.”

Hou Baoguo, who was already prepared, jumped straight into the bathtub.

The next moment, his figure was engulfed by thick steam.

“Mr.

Hou, circulate your Cultivation Technique and break through the barrier…”

Under Zhou Yu’s guidance, Hou Baoguo began to make an all-out effort to overcome the barrier.

This state lasted for about half an hour.

After half an hour, within the thick steam, a burst of extremely powerful energy suddenly erupted.

Bang!

In an instant, the bathtub shattered.

Cracks appeared on the surrounding walls.

“Haha, great Innate realm, I’ve really broken through.”

Hou Baoguo exclaimed excitedly.

At that time, from outside the villa, a loud laugh was heard.

“Hou Baoguo, are the bride and the dowry ready?”
