Ren Jie took a stroll around the forest and found that the surrounding plants were all the common ones instead of precious herbs. There was nothing much for him to look at, so he unknowingly walked to the front of a wooden hut.
The windows were open and the hut was quite small, so he was able to see everything in it at once.
He saw Ren Tiancong sitting by the side of the bed engrossed looking at the woman lying on the bed. She was very pretty, and upon a closer look, Ren Jie realized that she seemed to be in a deep sleep.
Ren Tiancong was holding the hand of the woman, and while Ren Jie was unable to see through everything like when he watched Gao Ren prepare medicinal prescription or like he was able to with Birdy and Mole Rat’s cultivation techniques, he could see that Ren Tiancong was using his strength to help suppress some issues within the woman’s body.
What shocked Ren Jie the most was that when he took a closer look at the woman, he realized that when Ren Tiancong channeled his strength into her body, many runes and restrains appeared on her. Also, she seemed to be poisoned.
“What’s going on? Why don’t you save her?” Ren Jie said without thinking. Even though he had no idea who was the person lying on the bed, he could tell that the man sitting next to the bed was his Sixth Uncle Ren Tiancong, and this woman must have an unusual relationship with him. He had no recollections of Ren Tiancong marrying or he would have known that that was his aunt. One thing worth noting was that Ren Jie was at a very high realm now, but even then, it was confined to the Divine Power Realm.
He was able to advise Gao Ren on medicinal prescriptions and help the personal guards hone their cultivation techniques, or even understand the smiley old man’s All-Kill Array with no issue, but when it concerned something too advanced, even he was at a loss.
Since he was able to see through the problem at a glance, it meant that it was not too severe, but evidently, this woman’s vitals did not look good. She was merely kept alive by Ren Tiancong’s strength and other substances. Thus, Ren Jie found it very strange.
“Ah… you…” Wan Hong had just finished preparing tea and emerged from another room. He did not see Ren Jie when he got up, but he heard his voice nearby. Then, when he realized that Ren Jie was standing at the window of the hut, his heart nearly jumped out of his chest.
How could he talk?
He had only been gone for a short while, how did he already end up here? Oh no, oh no, it was a huge taboo to interrupt Sixth Uncle now and…
“Boom!” Just as Ren Jie finished speaking, Ren Tiancong had already released the woman’s hand and turned over quickly. His eyes were full of rage as he threw an invisible vigor ball at Ren Jie which forced him back a dozen meters.
Ren Tiancong carefully placed the woman’s hand down on the bed before he slowly got up.
“Sixth Uncle, it’s me…” Wan Hong immediately came forward to admit to his wrongdoings, but Ren Tiancong merely raised his hand and stopped him.
Ren Tiancong looked at Ren Jie who had been blown away by the vigor ball without a trace of fear or guilt, his expression souring.
Feng-er would always occupy a painful spot in his heart, and he did not allow anyone to mention anything about her. This was what Ren Jie had just done. If it was anyone else who said such hurtful words to him, he would have spared no mercy by now.
“I don’t care what you do outside, but you’re not to speak nonsense about your aunt and not to come near this hut anymore…”
“She’s really my aunt? Then all the more I must say it. Sixth Uncle, if you don’t have any grudge against aunty, then why don’t you save her? I really don’t understand it.” Even though Ren Tiancong was exerting immense pressure on everyone around him at the moment, Ren Jie had even experienced a Sage preaching and the Emperor’s aura, as well as that of the smiley old man. Hence, he paid no mind to this and quickly spoke before Ren Tiancong could finish speaking.
“Grudge? I’m not saving her?” Ren Tiancong was really angered now, completely furious. He was willing to give anything to have her awake from her coma even if it meant he had to die for her to do so.
Ren Tiancong grabbed the air before an invisible hand grabbed Ren Jie. While Ren Tiancong had no intention to kill Ren Jie even in his anger, he still exerted a lot of force.
“Please calm down!” Wan Hong knelt down on the floor in a panic when he saw Ren Jie being grabbed by the invisible hand and suspended in the air. At this point, his body had been compressed and even his bones made cracking noises.
“I’m willing to give everything I have for her to regain consciousness, so if you spout any more nonsense, don’t blame me for not showing mercy. Even if your father was around he would not care if I punished you, so leave this place immediately and never return.” Ren Tiancong suppressed his anger as he prepared to have Wan Hong take Ren Jie away.
He had tried various methods all these years, and even Ren Tianxing had racked his brains as well, but none of them worked.
Hence, Ren Jie’s words were utter nonsense to him.
“Even if you mean well, but if you do it the wrong way it’ll be futile. How long do you think you can last by using your strength to suppress the issues in aunty’s body?” Even though Ren Jie was held by the invisible hand and his bones kept making cracking noises, he disregarded the pain as he had been cultivating the Jade Emperor Refinement Technique. Hence, he told Ren Tiancong directly. “If you want to save her, then put me down first.”
Save… her? He can save her?
