And yet, for Xiao Yifeng, this was nothing extraordinary. The Acupuncture Skills within the Yin-Yang Forbidden Tome were profound and immense, capable of treating various injuries.
In fact, if Xiao Yifeng could concoct elixirs, a single elixir would suffice to completely heal Lin Mu’s hand. The effect of the elixir would be even more powerful, but he was not yet able to concoct elixirs and could only rely on his Acupuncture Skills.
Xiao Yifeng first used acupuncture to reconnect Lin Mu’s tendons and veins. With the assistance of Starforce and acupuncture, the severed tendons and veins in Lin Mu’s arm gradually healed.
Lin Mu also gradually realized that he was regaining sensation in his arm. His eyes revealed a shocked expression. He had not expected that there would come a day when his right hand could actually recover.
After half an hour, Xiao Yifeng reconnected all the destroyed tendons and veins in Lin Mu’s right hand. Then he stimulated a surge of Starforce that flowed into his right hand, began to mix the herbs, turned them into a plaster, and finally, applied it all over Lin Mu’s arm.
This plaster was a kind that could heal broken bones in the human body, very much like the Black Jade Intermittent Plaster featured in the TV series "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".
However, what’s depicted in the TV series is fictional, while the plaster Xiao Yifeng prepared was arranged according to the prescription in the Yin-Yang Forbidden Tome and was extraordinarily effective.
After covering Lin Mu’s entire right hand with the plaster, Xiao Yifeng took out gauze to wrap around the hand completely.
"Alright, now just wait for one week, and then you will witness the full recovery of your right hand!"
Xiao Yifeng said, looking at Lin Mu.
Lin Mu, with a somewhat excited expression, looked at Xiao Yifeng. Although his hand had not completely healed yet, it had given him sensation, and that ignited hope in his heart.
"I helped you heal your right hand, and you’ll become my subordinate, to help me with my endeavors. It’s a fair and reasonable exchange; there’s no need to thank me!"
Xiao Yifeng shook his head.
"As long as my arm heals, I am willing to become your subordinate. However, I must seek vengeance first!"
Lin Mu’s eyes flickered with a cold glint and intent to kill.
"Can you tell me who your enemy is?"
Xiao Yifeng asked, looking at Lin Mu.
"The Yanjing Lin Family!"
Lin Mu’s voice was chilling as he coldly spat.
"What’s your connection to the Lin family?"
Xiao Yifeng’s eyes flashed with a rare light as he looked at Lin Mu.
"Lin Tian’ao, the current Patriarch of the Lin family, is my father. Yet, I am just a bastard he had with another woman outside. It was his son, Lin Feng, the heir to the Lin family, who had my arm destroyed!"
Lin Mu’s eyes were brimming with deep-seated murderous intent. His left fist clenched tightly, and his breath became slightly unsteady.
"And what would you like to do about it?"
"To kill Lin Feng, to thoroughly destroy the Lin family. That man may be my father, but he has never treated me like a son, trampling my dignity underfoot. I want to strip him of everything, to make him know the meaning of ’regret’!"
Lin Mu spoke each word deliberately, filled with endless hatred and killing intent.
"Very well. It is what a man should do; to completely torment someone, you take everything from them and turn their esteemed status into one where they are stepped on by everyone. This is the greatest revenge."
"However, the Lin family has a high standing in Yanjing. Even with your current strength at Great Perfection of Dark Energy, facing the Lin family is practically impossible. It would only be a suicide mission."
"A gentleman’s revenge is not too late even after ten years. You should first focus on your cultivation. With your talent, potential, and my help, I believe that it won’t take long for you to become a Strong One in the Gang Qi Realm. Then you can step into the Lin family’s territory uprightly and reclaim everything you’ve lost."
Xiao Yifeng said solemnly to Lin Mu.
Lin Mu’s gaze flickered as he nodded.
"I’ll take you to a place where you can concentrate on improving your strength."
Xiao Yifeng spoke and then took Lin Mu to Kuang Shi, whose eyes also revealed a shocked expression upon seeing Kuang Shi and the group of War Emperor members.
"Welcome to joining us, to become one of the Young Master’s men!"
Kuang Shi said to Lin Mu in a deep voice.
Lin Mu looked at Kuang Shi and nodded, saying, "What’s your strength?"
"He’s a Strong One in the Gang Qi Realm!"
Lin Mu’s eyes sparked with intensity, and he said in a firm tone, "I will also reach this Realm!"
"Rest assured, that’s a given!"
Xiao Yifeng patted Lin Mu on the shoulder.
Then, Xiao Yifeng’s phone rang. It was Lu Xueqing calling.
"Principal Lu, what has prompted you to call me out of the blue, do you miss me?"
Xiao Yifeng answered the phone with a teasing tone.
Hearing Xiao Yifeng’s teasing voice, Lu Xueqing’s many years of good upbringing and ladylike demeanor completely vanished.
"If you don’t miss me, then why are you calling me?"
Xiao Yifeng quirked a lip.
"Come to the university first, I need to see you about something, immediately—if not sooner!"
Lu Xueqing finished speaking and hung up the phone.
"Wow, is this woman really being so domineering now? She really thinks I’m at her beck and call."
Xiao Yifeng protested indignantly.
Ten minutes later, Xiao Yifeng drove to Tianhai University, where Lu Xueqing, dressed in a white long dress, got into Xiao Yifeng’s car.
"Principal Lu, you look good in that dress today," Xiao Yifeng commented.
"Pervert," Lu Xueqing retorted bluntly.
"How am I a pervert?" Xiao Yifeng looked startled.
"Because you’re oozing with a pervert’s presence!"
Lu Xueqing huffed with insolence.
"You’re slandering my reputation. I clearly epitomize the charm of a handsome man, yet you accuse me of being a pervert. Do perverts really look as handsome as me? Plus, do you think a pervert would stop at just one glance? Today, I’ll let you see what a real pervert is like."
"You’re truly shameless. I can’t understand how Ya Xin could be engaged to someone like you!"
"What’s wrong with me as a fiancé? I can be presentable in the hall and capable in the kitchen. I’m exactly the kind of man a woman needs the most!"
Xiao Yifeng spoke ardently.
