When Lu Chuan jolted awake from the bed, morning had already arrived.
The bright sunlight streaming through the window appeared to him as a murky gray haze, though it cast a warm glow on his face.
Lu Chuan immediately checked his pulse. Thankfully, there were no signs of the Gu Poison invading his heart veins. Before he had completely lost consciousness, he had used his Spiritual Power to seal the Gu Poison within his Spirit Veins, preventing its spread.
"Mr. Lu Chuan, are you alright?"
A choked voice came from beside the bed, making Lu Chuan only then realize that Ye Jiaxin had been sitting there all along.
Lu Chuan found it hard to discern her expression, so he leaned forward to take a closer look. Only then did he notice that the young girl's eyes were swollen from crying.
"What kind of foolish question is this? Do you think I could be alright?"
Lu Chuan rolled his eyes—well, literally rolled his eyes.
