The Burning Poison… can it really be completely removed?"
Nalan Jie couldn't hide his surprise. Though he had survived many years, given a choice between life and death, anyone would choose life.
"Judging by the current progress, it seems there's no problem," Ye Chen said with a smile.
"Heh… didn't expect you, so young, to possess such skill. Truly worthy of being Sect Leader Yun Yun's top disciple…"
Nalan Jie nodded quickly, hoarsely laughing, "Then I'll leave it to you, kid."
Ye Chen's fingers curled slightly, and the pale white flame around the bones slowly retreated, finally absorbed back into him.
"Ye Chen, how's it going?"
Seeing Ye Chen pause, Nalan Su stepped forward, concerned.
"Uncle Nalan, that's enough for today. At this rate, it will likely take at least three days to fully expel the poison," Ye Chen said, glancing at Nalan Jie, whose complexion had improved slightly.
Seeing Nalan Jie's slightly revived face, the weight on Nalan Su's heart finally lifted.
Nalan Jie was the backbone of the Nalan family. Without him, the family wouldn't collapse entirely, but the gap with the other two major families would inevitably widen.
"Then for the next few days, Ye Chen, it'll be hard work for you. As long as you can cure the old master, there won't be any objection from my side regarding you and Yanran!"
Nalan Su pulled Ye Chen aside, smiling at Nalan Yanran.
Ye Chen's identity and talent had fully satisfied him. Having saved the Nalan family's fate, he no longer had any objections to this marriage.
Thank you, Uncle Nalan."
Receiving Nalan Su's assurance, Ye Chen couldn't help but let a small smile tug at the corner of his lips. Finally, he had handled the father-in-law.
Now, only the stubborn old master remained.
But Ye Chen still had his trump card.
Even if he had detoxified the old master's body, Nalan Jie still might refuse this marriage.
Ye Chen had also prepared a Dou Spirit Pill.
He wasn't worried—there was no way the old man could resist the temptation of the pill.
Nalan Yanran, hearing her father's words, felt a quiet joy in her heart.
Though Nalan Su had already promised her he wouldn't interfere with her marriage to Ye Chen, hearing it directly from her father was a source of pride. It meant her senior brother had earned her father's recognition.
"Ye Chen, you've worked hard. Why don't you stay for a meal before leaving?"
Nalan Su spoke warmly.
"Another day. I'm exhausted from today and want to rest early," Ye Chen politely declined.
Controlling the Bone Spirit Cold Flame had indeed consumed a lot of his soul force. Tomorrow, he still had to continue treating the old master, so resting now was necessary to stay in top condition.
"Very well," Nalan Su said and didn't press further. Turning to Nalan Yanran, he added, "Yan'er, go see Ye Chen out."
"Yes," Nalan Yanran smiled and nodded, then walked out of the hall with Ye Chen.
"Father, how do you feel?"
Once Ye Chen and Nalan Yanran had left, Nalan Su approached Nalan Jie with concern.
"This kid has some skill… looks like this old skeleton of mine is safe for now."
Nalan Jie sat up, feeling much better, a faint smile appearing on his face.
"Father, this kid from the Mittel family seems pretty decent," Nalan Su said cautiously, testing the waters.
"Don't try to feel me out!"
The sharp-witted Nalan Jie immediately caught on to his son's intentions, glaring fiercely.
"If you hadn't failed to discipline that girl, would she have done such a shameful thing?"
Thinking about Nalan Yanran canceling her marriage without his consent, Nalan Jie was furious.
Father… actually, I do think Ye Chen is really remarkable," Nalan Su said, taking the scolding but standing firm for his daughter's happiness.
