Spring breeze, night rain, small town, some happy and some sad.
At this moment, the house on the east side of the street was brightly lit. The people in the house all had different thoughts as they listened to the rain falling from the eaves.
The Tang Family Patriarch, Tang Yunyi, was sitting upright in the hall. A dark cloud had accumulated between his brows for a long time without dissipating, and his deep gaze revealed traces of worry.
Second brother Tang Jingtao, who was at the side, had a face full of regret and self-blame, but anyone could tell that he was already blooming with joy in his heart.
A few days ago, their two sons had held a ”friendly exchange”, but in the end, Tang Yunyi's son, Tang Lichuan, was unconscious. He asked the servants at the scene about it, but got a few words in reply — Young Master fell off the cliff in the midst of the competition, and when they faithfully went down the mountain to save him, he had already fainted.
Tonight was the most dangerous night for Tang Lichuan, so as his father, he naturally had to wait for the final result. As for Tang Jingtao, he also came along with them to make a ruckus, putting up a guilty fake face, but in reality, he was only pretending to run over to see a joke.
Tang Jingtao hoped so much for his nephew to die quickly because the great sect's Profound Dragon Sect had accidentally given them a placing in the sect for Tang Family. From the looks of the conditions set by the Profound Dragon Sect, only his sons Tang Fei and Tang Lichuan were qualified, so once Tang Lichuan died, the precious placing in the Profound Dragon Sect would naturally belong to his son!
Time passed minute after minute, the two who were under the roof could not endure it any longer, even the normally calm Tang Yunyi was so nervous that his back was drenched in sweat.
”Master! He woke up! Young Master has woken up! ” At this moment, a female servant hurriedly rushed into the hall, breathing heavily as she brought back the news that the two of them had been looking forward to for a long time.
”Chuan'er is awake?” Tang Yunyi suddenly stood up, after seeing the servant nod her head affirmatively, the boulder in his heart was finally lifted, and he clapped his hands and laughed out loud: ”Good! Great! Thank the ancestors for their blessing! ”
The smile on his face was extremely forced, but even though the patriarch was suspicious, he still cupped his hands together and congratulated: ”Big Brother, I already said that Xiao Chuan is very lucky, and would definitely be fine, don't you worry too much about that Divine Doctor Fang personally treating Xiao Chuan?”
When Tang Yunyi heard the words that his second brother did not share, he just snorted indifferently, then turned to the female servant and asked: ”Does Divine Doctor Fang have any other instructions?”
The maidservant replied respectfully, ”Divine Doctor Fang did not have any other instructions. He said that he still needed to observe the young master's pulse. He only wanted me to come out and report the news of the young master's awakening so that the old master could be at ease.”
Tang Yunyi was finally able to relax and laughed: ”It's all thanks to Divine Doctor Fang's miraculous recovery technique, I will definitely repay you handsomely this time!”
”Hahaha!” ”There's no need to thank me so much. If it wasn't for the fact that I made young master proud, with this old man's rudimentary skills, I really wouldn't be able to reverse the situation in one go!” At this time, an old man in his sixties, under the protection of a small child holding an umbrella, quickly walked into the hall.
Tang Yunyi waved his hand, and laughed: ”Divine Doctor Fang, you saved my son with your clever hands, how can you thank me for that! Today, my son Fang Xing will not be able to discuss further. Next day, this humble one will personally prepare gifts to thank you! ”
Divine Doctor Fang shook his head and gave a wry smile, ”Master Tang is too polite. Quickly go and see Young Master Tang, this old man will go back by himself later.”
After Tang Yunyi cupped his hands in thanks, he instructed the female servant: ”Go to the accounts room and pay five thousand silver taels. Prepare a carriage to send Divine Doctor Fang back to the manor.”
The female servant replied and left. Tang Yunyi left the hall to visit Tang Lichuan, and the remaining two people in the hall looked at each other in silence. In that moment, the entire world could only hear the sound of drizzling rain.
After a while, the smile on Tang Jingtao's face that he was struggling to squeeze out slowly changed, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a sinister and cold smile from the bottom of his heart, and without any warning, he asked: ”How is it?”
