The thief's dagger stabbed at Shi Lei's stomach again and again, but Shi Lei seemed to have no senses of it, he tightly grabbed onto the thief's left hand and broke the thief's tightly clenched fist.

Shi Lei snatched the jade pendant away.

The thief ran away!

Chen Yurou rushed over, looking at Shi Lei who was lying on the ground, he was at a loss of what to do. He used his hands to cover the wound on Shi Lei's stomach, wanting to help him stop the bleeding.

Shi Lei felt his body becoming lighter, as if he was going to float.

”Don't die, don't die! I won't let you die!” Chen Yurou shouted as her tears rolled down. It had been half a year, and she had seen Shi Lei's performance. Although she still had some hatred towards Shi Lei, but seeing that he was about to die, Chen Yurou felt like her heart was about to break.

Shi Lei looked at the helpless Chen Yurou and smiled.

This was the first time in the past eight years that Shi Lei had laughed in such a relaxed and carefree manner!

Old Master Chen, you died for me that year, but now I've died for your daughter.

I finally paid you back what I owed you.

I'm free!

Shi Lei heaved a sigh of relief and slowly closed his eyes.

No one realized that an image that was exactly the same as Shi Lei started to float from Shi Lei's body, and floated higher and higher. At the same time, the jade pendant in Shi Lei's hand that was tightly clenched, started to emit a faint golden light.

The shadow that floated out seemed to be attracted by something. It was attracted to the faint golden light, and the golden light soon disappeared.

In the middle of the air, Shi Lei was standing in front of a white-haired old man, at a loss of what to do.

”You … Who are you? ”Where is this place?” Shi Lei asked nervously.

”I am a strand of soul consciousness that the Chen Ancestor left in the jade pendant. Shi Lei, in order to repay your kindness with Chen Family, if you marry into my Chen Family, you can already be considered as the heir to my Chen Family.”

The white-haired old man looked at Shi Lei and nodded his head in satisfaction, ”Eight years of suffering. I shall impart to you this art of profound medicine, and let you re-establish the prestige of my Chen Family. ”

”Bear in mind that you have inherited my skills, and are able to help the world through overflowing cultivation. This is for the benefit of all!”

With that, the white-haired old man transformed into countless points of light and rushed into the center of Shi Lei's brows.

Shi Lei felt as though his head was about to explode, his vision going black.

Three hours later, in the hospital ward of Nanyang City.

Chen Yurou who was dressed in a white gown stood outside the room and looked at Shi Lei who was lying unconscious on the bed.

Even though he had been severely injured and lost consciousness, Shi Lei still held onto the jade pendant tightly. Even when he was trying to save her, the doctor was unable to take out the jade pendant from his hand.

Chen Yurou's mind was in a mess. She had gone out to buy something during the afternoon break, but something like this had actually happened.

Didn't she always look forward to this man, whom she had hated and abused for eight years, to die a horrible death?

Why did he feel so helpless and sad now that he was really going to die?

Chen Yurou calmed her complicated feelings and turned to walk towards the clinic.

The nurse who passed by looked at Chen Yurou's back and pouted, ”Tsk, your husband is actually a trash picker, what are you pretending for.”

Originally, the hospital's colleagues only knew that Chen Yurou had gotten married, but no one knew what her husband did.

His colleagues at the hospital were all shocked. No one would have thought that Chen Yurou's husband was actually a garbage collector.

A few minutes after Chen Yurou left, Shi Lei's pale face was tightly squeezed together, as though he was suffering from a great pain. Suddenly, Shi Lei sat up abruptly, opened his eyes, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.
