Inside Capital City University, there is an artificial lake, sparkling under the sun, with green willows winding around the embankment.

A tall and handsome figure stands on the embankment.

This person has sword-shaped eyebrows and star-like eyes, his face like a carving of jade, exuding an extraordinary aura.

Liang Xu stood behind this extraordinary young man, resentment flashing in his eyes, and said, "Young Master Duan, that's how it is. If it weren't for Chen Lin meddling, I would have already taught Li Fei a lesson. That Chen Lin is too arrogant."

Indeed, standing on the embankment, face like a carving of jade, the extraordinarily handsome young man is none other than Duan Yifeng, the top of the ten young masters in Capital City.

"Liang Xu, if Chen Lin's grandfather wasn't a major figure in the military, I wouldn't have held back until today. But that old man won't remain impressive for long; it's not too late to deal with Chen Lin then," Duan Yifeng said as he looked at the lake's reflection, his voice calm.

Liang Xu showed a look of surprise: "Young Master Duan, have you heard some news? Has something happened to that old man from the Chen family?"

Duan Yifeng nodded: "Hmm, you'll find out what happens in a few days; for now, I'm not sure."

Although Liang Xu was curious about what might happen to the Chen family, he could sense from Duan Yifeng's words that the situation was uncertain.

This suggested the Chen family might not face any trouble.

So he didn't ask further but instead asked Duan Yifeng, "What about that kid Li Fei?"

"Let him be arrogant for a few more days, then deal with him together with Chen Lin," Duan Yifeng said.

A sharp light flashed in Liang Xu's eyes: "Alright, let him live a few more days."

"Let's go, class is about to start." Duan Yifeng said with a suave smile.

Then, the two left the willow embankment of the artificial lake.

Elsewhere on campus, a quiet and shady path.

Zheng Yutong and Su Xiaoyue were sitting on a bench under the trees, and as they saw Chen Lin approaching, both of them stood up.

Chen Lin came up to them and said, "Have you been waiting long?"

Zheng Yutong and Su Xiaoyue shook their heads.

Zheng Yutong asked Chen Lin, "Chen Lin, is Li Fei alright?"

"Don't worry, Li Fei is fine for the time being. I stopped Liang Xu from retaliating against Li Fei, but Liang Xu probably won't just leave it at that; Li Fei needs to be extra cautious in the future." Chen Lin said, looking at Zheng Yutong.

Zheng Yutong and Su Xiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's fine now, you two can go back!" Chen Lin said with a smile to the two girls.

Zheng Yutong, Su Xiaoyue nodded.

Just as the three were about to leave, Chen Lin's phone rang. He took out his phone, glanced at the caller ID, and said to Zheng Yutong, "It's my dad calling."

Then he answered the phone, "Dad, what's going on?"

"What, Grandpa's condition has worsened? Vomiting blood repeatedly?"

"Alright, I'm heading over now!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Lin's brows furrowed, and his face turned a bit pale.

Zheng Yutong and Su Xiaoyue sensed something had happened, and Zheng Yutong asked Chen Lin, "Chen Lin, what's going on?"

Chen Lin said with a heavy expression, "My grandfather was injured recently, and suddenly his condition worsened, vomiting a lot of blood. I'm going to see grandpa now; I have to go."

With that, Chen Lin hurriedly left.

Zheng Yutong and Su Xiaoyue were both stunned. In their eyes, Chen Lin always handled things calmly and composedly, never losing his poise. But today, seeing him so flustered was the first time.

This indicated that Chen Lin's grandfather's condition was very serious.

Suddenly, Zheng Yutong and Su Xiaoyue both thought of something, exchanging a glance.

"Xiaoyue, do you think of Lin Fei's miraculous medical skills?" Zheng Yutong asked Su Xiaoyue.

Su Xiaoyue nodded: "Yes, perhaps Lin Fei can treat Chen Lin's grandfather."

"Hmm, looks like I need to talk to Chen Lin tomorrow, hopefully, he'll agree to let Lin Fei treat his grandfather," Zheng Yutong said.

Capital City, a military base.

Inside the base hospital, in a special ward, doctors and nurses were busy trying to save an elderly white-haired man on the bed.

Outside the ward in the corridor, Chen Lin hurried over and saw his parents, along with Master Deng and Master Liu, anxiously waiting outside the ward.

"Dad, Mom, Grandpa Liu, Grandpa Deng." Chen Lin said to them.

Chen Lin's parents were approaching their fifties, and seeing Chen Lin, his mother said sadly, "Son, you're finally here; your grandfather...he's vomited so much blood!"

As she spoke, her voice began to choke with emotion.

Chen Lin asked his parents in confusion, "Didn't you tell me Grandpa's condition was improving?"

Mr. Chen frowned deeply and said with a heavy tone, "Your grandfather took the Dragon Saliva Pill Uncle Deng brought, and indeed his condition improved; his chest pain also eased, and he was able to get out of bed and walk."

"But today, after taking the Dragon Saliva Pill, his condition suddenly worsened, vomiting blood repeatedly. Later, doctors detected poison in his blood."

Chen Lin exclaimed, "What? How did Grandpa get poisoned?"

Deng Fangzhen said with an apologetic look, "Chen Lin, it's my fault. It was the Dragon Saliva Pill I gave him."

"Grandpa Deng, is the poison from the Dragon Saliva Pill?" Chen Lin seemed to have realized something and asked Deng Fangzhen.

Deng Fangzhen nodded: "Although I'm quite familiar with all sorts of miraculous pills and medicines within martial arts, I didn't expect Marquis Wuying to set a trap with the Dragon Saliva Pill and that one of them was actually poisoned."

"This was a trap set by Marquis Wuying! And I fell for it unknowingly. I'm sorry for your grandfather."

Chen Lin comforted Deng Fangzhen, who was in pain: "Grandpa Deng, you only wanted Grandpa to recover quickly, which is why you brought the Dragon Saliva Pill. Marquis Wuying was just too cunning."

Deng Fangzhen clenched his fists, his voice filled with hatred: "Chen Lin, I must avenge your grandfather. I'll take the elite fighters of the Deng family tonight and go to the Wu family, forcing Marquis Wuying to hand over the antidote."

"Old Deng, I'll also bring my men and join you." Mr. Liu said righteously to Deng Fangzhen.

At that moment, the door to the ward opened, and several doctors in white coats emerged.

Chen Lin's parents, Master Deng, and Master Liu quickly stepped forward to ask them, "Doctor, how is the old man?"

A doctor in his fifties said with a heavy expression, "The situation is very critical. Although Commander Chen is temporarily out of life-threatening danger, he has not yet passed the critical stage. If Commander Chen doesn't wake up tomorrow, I'm afraid..."

At this point, the doctor stopped speaking.

But Chen Lin and the others already understood what the doctor was going to say: if the old man doesn't wake up tomorrow, he may never wake up again.

"You can go in and see him," the doctor said looking at Chen Lin's parents.

Chen Lin's parents nodded.

Then, the group entered the emergency room.

Night, Lin Fei's villa.

Lin Fei was sitting on the couch drinking coffee, Leng Ying looked at him and said, "Hall Master Zhan has already helped you find information on Chen Wuyue."

Lin Fei said, "Speak."

"Chen Wuyue is actually not hard to find because he is the old man of the Chen family, one of the Six Great Families in Capital City. Additionally, his status is that of a military commander, holding the rank of general," Leng Ying said.

Lin Fei's face showed a hint of surprise: "So it's the old man of the Chen family, and he's also a general commander. Unexpectedly, I have a marriage agreement with the granddaughter of a general; truly unexpected."
