226: Chapter 216 Need Your Cooperation_1 226: Chapter 216 Need Your Cooperation_1 Lu Chuan felt a sense of foreboding and wanted to explain, “Indeed, there is such a matter, but…”
Before he could finish his sentence, a powerful coercion descended upon him, nearly forcing him to kneel to the ground.
Surprise appeared on Zhong Tianyuan’s face.
The pressure he exerted was ant to be nearly ruthless.
Below the Profound Realm, it should be that no one could withstand it.
Even a master who had just stepped into the Profound Realm would be shocked and lose their composure upon facing this pressure.
Yet, Lu Chuan held his ground against it, showing no signs of kneeling in submission.
This required not only an extraordinary constitution far beyond that of an ordinary person but also a remarkable willpower.
Anyone who possessed both these traits would definitely not have a low achievent in the future.
“Interesting…” Zhong Tianyuan felt a hint of admiration for Lu Chuan within his heart, though his face still showed no smile.
“I don’t want to hear your explanation, I only need to know that there is indeed such a matter,” he said.
Lu Chuan’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, grumbling inwardly: just when I was praising you for being reasonable, I didn’t expect you to be so protective of your kin.
Clenching his teeth, he said, “Then your granddaughter also colluded with others to fra and entrap .
Such behavior should be punished.
Are you going to cover for her just because she is your granddaughter?”
Zhong Tianyuan laughed and said, “After that Chiang Feng ca to report you, I had soone investigate the truth of the matter and ca to know that she was slandering you.
Ling’er is also clear that you are innocent, but she wanted to vent the resentnt in her heart, so she begged to go along with her act to frighten you.
Regardless of what the Martial Arts Association people say, you would be fine in the end, and that Chiang Feng would be captured as per the rules.
I rely indulged my granddaughter and played along in an act.
How has that turned into covering for her?”
Zhong Ling’er looked at Zhong Tianyuan with a stern face, obviously still angry that their plan hadn’t worked, and said, “Grandfather, why do you even bother telling him all this?”
Zhong Tianyuan indifferently replied, “If I don’t tell him, he might really think my granddaughter is soone vile, constantly thinking of harming others’ lives.”
Zhong Ling’er looked indifferent.
“Hmph, if he thinks that, let him think it.
He’s just a stinky man.
I don’t care about his opinion at all.”
Lu Chuan was full of surprise; he hadn’t expected that all of this was just an act between Zhong Tianyuan and Zhong Ling’er.
At that ti, he truly believed that if the people from the Martial Arts Association did not speak up for him, he would be sentenced to death.
Then, Zhong Tianyuan suddenly started coughing violently, and the oppressive force he had exerted on Lu Chuan had to be withdrawn.
Lu Chuan imdiately felt much more relaxed and took a long breath of relief.
Zhong Ling’er looked at Zhong Tianyuan with concern, patting his back and asking, “Grandfather, is your old illness acting up again?”
Zhong Tianyuan coughed for a good while, his face red as if he might cough out his lungs.
Observing Zhong Tianyuan’s condition, Lu Chuan activated his Divine Sense and soon discovered that this Profound Realm skillful expert’s lungs were accumulating a lot of blood stasis, creating a very serious burden on his body.
After pondering for a mont, an idea ford in his heart.
After a long ti, Zhong Tianyuan finally returned to normal and stopped coughing.
Lu Chuan imdiately said, “Most Honorable Zhong, if I’m not mistaken, you suffered a serious injury at the chest area many years ago.
It wasn’t fully healed at the ti, leading to a hidden illness.
For all these years, you have always had a coughing problem, right?”
Zhong Ling’er turned and glared at Lu Chuan, saying, “So what if that’s true?
Are you trying to take delight in our misfortune?”
Lu Chuan smiled and said, “Miss Zhong, you misunderstand.
What I an is that I can treat this illness.”
Zhong Ling’er’s eyes lit up, “Really?”
Lu Chuan nodded and said, “Of course it’s true.
If you have investigated my background, you should know that I am skilled in dical arts.”
Zhong Ling’er imdiately recalled that when she had investigated Lu Chuan before, she indeed saw the report stating that Lu Chuan had extraordinary dical skills.
She hastily said, “Then what are you waiting for?
Co and treat my grandfather right now!”
Lu Chuan said, “I can take action, but only if, once I cure your grandfather’s illness, our grievances are wiped clean.
How about that?”
Zhong Ling’er glanced at Lu Chuan and huffily said, “Wiped clean, then wiped clean.
I’m not soone who is petty!”
Not petty, yet you’ve troubled so many tis…
Lu Chuan said with a smile, “Then it’s a deal!”
Zhong Tianyuan had not expected Lu Chuan to possess such abilities, but seeing him diagnose an old injury just from a bout of coughing, he could tell the young man had so real skill.
Plagued by this hidden ailnt for years, he had long been fed up with it.
He also vaguely felt that if this issue was not resolved, his life might not last many more years.
So hearing that Lu Chuan could heal his hidden illness, he felt sowhat hopeful.
He was not worried about Lu Chuan having ulterior motives, for even with his old ailnt, he was still a Profound Realm skillful expert.
Subduing a junior would still be an easy task for him.
“Alright, since you’ve offered, I will give you a chance.
As long as you can cure my hidden illness, I will not pursue the matter of you stealing Ling’er’s girlfriend any further,” Zhong Tianyuan said.
Lu Chuan thought about it, then asked, “Most Honorable Zhong, I would like to know, even though your granddaughter likes won, you have no objection to it?”
Zhong Tianyuan replied, “Why should I object?
For Ling’er to have survived for so long in this world has already been incredibly difficult.
If I were to interfere with what she likes, wouldn’t that be too cruel?”
Incredibly difficult?
Lu Chuan was a bit confused by Zhong Tianyuan’s words.
Just by looking at Zhong Ling’er’s lively deanor, it was hard to tell that living so long had been difficult for her.
