After recovering to a certain degree, the Elder of Qingcheng Sect withdrew his Spiritual Power. The remaining injuries were left for Zhao Hong to slowly recuperate.

During the spell-casting treatment, the Elder of Qingcheng Sect discovered a problem—that Zhao Hong's Dantian was gone and there was not a trace of Spiritual Power in his body, so he asked, "Why is your Dantian gone?"

Mentioning this, everyone from the Zhao Family sighed helplessly.

As for Zhao Hong himself, his face bore a mournful expression as he poured out his heartaches: "Elder! You must seek justice for me!"

Since his father dared not provoke Lin Yifan, perhaps the Qingcheng Sect would, so at that moment, he clung to them like a lifeline, refusing to let go.

"What happened? What's the matter?" the Elder of Qingcheng Sect asked with concern.

"My Dantian has been destroyed, and that bastard is still at large!" Zhao Hong recounted the events truthfully, requesting the Elder of Qingcheng Sect to uphold justice for him.

"What? Such a thing happened? They truly don't regard our Qingcheng Sect at all!" the Elder of Qingcheng Sect exclaimed in shock.

To the Qingcheng Sect, the Zhao Family was like a child they had fostered; not valuing the Zhao Family was tantamount to disregarding their Sect, and this was absolutely intolerable.

"Exactly! That bastard is utterly lawless!" Zhao Hong resonated, eliciting the Elder's agreement.

However, this approach was indeed effective. The next moment, the Elder of Qingcheng Sect began to dig for more information on the perpetrator: "Who is this bastard? Where does he live? What is his background?"

"That bastard is a disciple of Medicinal Saint Valley, holding the Medicine Saint Order, acting arrogantly and bullying the children of our Capital Noble Families everywhere. Elder, you must teach that bastard a lesson on behalf of us nobility! Don't let him continue his tyranny and arrogance!" Zhao Hong replied.

"A disciple of Medicinal Saint Valley? Medicine Saint Order!" Upon hearing these terms, the Elder of Qingcheng Sect was greatly taken aback.

The Elder was well aware of how formidable Bright True Master was; offending him meant disastrous consequences, and their Qingcheng Sect was no exception; therefore, disciples of Medicinal Saint Valley were renowned in the Central Plains Cultivation World as individuals not to be trifled with unless they provoked it first; otherwise, they were truly out of line.

So, he sternly inquired, "Who made the first move, you or him?"

"Does it make a difference?" Zhao Hong retorted, a sense of unease dawning on him.

"Nonsense! If there's no just cause, how can I help you seek justice?" the Elder of Qingcheng Sect replied irritably.

"Ah!" Zhao Hong sighed inwardly, recognizing the formidable reputation of Medicinal Saint Valley, feared by everyone, even the great Sects.

Thinking back, he suddenly realized how foolish he had been, for not believing the rumors or his father's warnings, and for rashly provoking Lin Yi Fei.

"Why are you looking so dejected? Answer my question!" the Elder of Qingcheng Sect impatiently urged.

His time was precious, and had it not been for the fact that Zhao Hong was Zhao Tianba's son, he would not have bothered with such trivial matters.

"I was the one who provoked his sister first, and then he sought revenge on me," Zhao Hong answered truthfully.

The Elder had a temper to maintain; he dared not slack off or deceive, as not even his father's intervention could save him otherwise.

"That was your fault. Knowing his identity yet still provoking him, isn't that asking for trouble? Who else can you blame?" the Elder of Qingcheng Sect said helplessly as he scolded.

If Lin Yifan had been at fault first, he would have had a reason to discipline Lin Yifan; but now, he dared not discipline Lin Yifan, especially as Lin Yifan held the Medicine Saint Order, signifying a significant status.

"Ah, Elder, I realize my mistake! I won't dare to be mischievous again," Zhao Hong didn't want to elaborate further.

He had thought this was a lifeline, little realizing it was more akin to a fair-weather grass, adept at reading the situation.

"After graduating, just stay obediently at home and go into business with your father. The path of Cultivation within the Sect is no longer feasible for you," the Elder of Qingcheng Sect informed him mercilessly.

The Cultivation World is a gathering place for cultivators—a place where ordinary people can only be endlessly bullied; thus, remaining in the city is the best option.

"Understood!" sighed Zhao Hong, feeling helpless.

Every family's offspring could actually go to their Sect for "further training," provided they can cultivate.

Now without a Dantian, Sect "further training" really had nothing to do with him anymore.

While sighing with regret, his resentment towards Lin Yifan deepened.

Lin Yifan's action was too ruthless, breaking his limbs, he could still accept; but rendering his Dantian useless, equivalent to destroying his future, thus unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable.

From now on, he could only live under the protection of his family and could no longer act arrogantly and boast openly.

After the crowd dispersed, he went to his elder brother's room to pour out the pain in his heart.

Now, only his brother was willing to help him seek this vengeance, so he could only come here to speak his heart out.

While consoling his younger brother, Zhao Yi promised, "Don't be sad! I will definitely kill that bastard myself, for sure!"

With his brother's words, Zhao Hong felt relieved.

Although he did not expect his elder brother to actually seek revenge for him, at least his words sounded very pleasing, and that was enough.

On the other hand, after returning home, Lin Yifan recounted the morning events to Zhou Jiajia and the others in detail.

Knowing that Lin Yifan had gone to Yanjing University to stand up for his sister, Lin Yifei, Zhou Jiajia and the others were relieved.

They were very worried and anxious when they got up today and found Lin Yifan absent.

When asked, the nanny was vague about the situation and then knew nothing further; attempts to call him failed as his phone could not be reached, they were truly terrified at the time.

Thankfully, it was just a false alarm; otherwise, they wouldn't have known what to do.

"Yi Fei was actually drugged last night, which is truly terrifying. Yifan, have you assigned more people to protect Yi Fei?" Zhou Jiajia curiously inquired.

"I've already asked Yi Chen to protect Yi Fei around the clock, there shouldn't be any problem," Lin Yifan replied.

"That's good, but wouldn't this be very hard on Elder Yi Chen?" Zhou Jiajia was somewhat worried.

One person providing 24-hour protection is very tiring; rotating shifts would make it much more bearable.

"He's a cultivator, he should be fine, and if it really doesn't work, I'll go protect her myself," Lin Yifan answered.

"Right! That's all we can do now."

Sending ordinary bodyguards to protect Lin Yifei was useless, they were no match against people from the Capital Noble Families. And now, having made enemies with the Capital's Zhao Family, only Yi Chen could offer protection.

At least this way, they could hold off for a while.

The morning was filled with tension, and breakfast shifted to lunch.

After eating, Lin Yifan went back to his room to rest.
