Chapter 1449 — The First Date

Chen Yuxuan's injuries looked severe, but they were not as grave as General Weiwu's had once been; at worst they were on par with Wu Chengtian's. So Wei Zhaodian healed Chen Yuxuan's wounds quickly enough.
And once Chen Yuxuan's meridians were repaired, his strength naturally returned as well! This injury had cost him almost nothing of his power; his strength was what it had always been. He had never once crossed hands with Yu Feng, so there had been no depletion of strength to speak of.
His meridians had merely been injured, suppressing his power — this was not the same as Wei Zhaodian's own case, when every meridian in his body had been severed. Wei Zhaodian had compressed all the true qi within him and blasted it outward; Chen Yuxuan had done nothing of the sort.
So the treatment took very little time. It lasted only a few hours, and Chen Yuxuan was as good as new.
Qiu Lingshan had long since grown used to Wei Zhaodian's miracles; she had been astonished so many times that astonishment no longer had any hold on her. So she said: "I'd say you've recovered too... See? I told you long ago, Wei Zhaodian is capable of anything."
"I... I just didn't want to cause trouble for Wei Zhaodian, that's all. Who'd have thought my strength would come back so easily." Chen Yuxuan smiled bitterly and rubbed his once-broken legs. There was no trace of discomfort left in them at all.
"Do the other families all know about your injury?" Wei Zhaodian asked.
"Yes, more or less everyone knows. Thanks to the Yu family's tireless publicity, the whole thing has turned into a joke about me overestimating myself..." Chen Yuxuan said, a little embarrassed. "But Wei Zhaodian, I truly have no such feelings for Lingshan anymore. Don't misunderstand..."
"I know. The girl's a bit of a simpleton. It's only natural you'd lose interest in her," Wei Zhaodian said, cracking a joke with a smile.
"..." Qiu Lingshan wanted to kill Wei Zhaodian. Who's a simpleton? You're the one who thinks I'm a simpleton!
"Haha..." Chen Yuxuan could not help laughing, but one glance at Qiu Lingshan's dark face and he promptly shut his mouth.
"In that case, there's no hurry to spread the news of your recovery. When the Great Families Gathering comes, we'll hit back and turn the tables on them — only that will have the stunning effect we want!" Wei Zhaodian said. "Otherwise, it won't do to let them be on their guard. Only, that means your old grandfather will have to suffer a little first — let him grieve for a while..."
"I know what matters and what doesn't. Don't worry. The moment I appear at the Great Families Gathering, as long as Grandfather is happy, that's enough for me!" Chen Yuxuan understood the urgency of the matter, and was in no hurry to tell his grandfather. If by any chance the old man's expression slipped and the Yu family caught on, it could very well throw the whole plan into disorder.
"I'll be going. Guan Xin has something to see me about." Having settled Chen Yuxuan's affairs, Wei Zhaodian made ready to go find Guan Xin.
"So I just keep lying here in the sick ward, pretending to be ill?" Chen Yuxuan asked.
"Yes. I'll have a word with Guan Xin's grandfather. You stay here and wait for me to come back; it won't hold up your cultivation here," Wei Zhaodian said.
"By the way, speaking of cultivation, there's something I've been wanting to ask you..." Rather than fretting over the matter of Guan Xin, Qiu Lingshan deliberately put her out of her mind.
"What is it?" Wei Zhaodian had been about to leave the ward, but at Qiu Lingshan's words he stopped in his tracks and asked.
