Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law-Chapter 693 - 696 Again

He scooped out a spoonful of porridge, blew on it, and carefully brought it to Han Jiajia's mouth.

"Drink up, Jia Jia. You were so tired last night, so let me feed you breakfast this morning!"

Looking at Liu Ergou, Han Jiajia felt a surge of joy. It seems my place in his heart is quite high, after all, she thought happily. He wouldn't be feeding me otherwise.

With this thought, Han Jiajia happily drank the spoonful of porridge, finishing the rest of her breakfast under Liu Ergou's attentive care. After she was done, Liu Ergou made short work of his own breakfast.

After eating, Liu Ergou wanted to chat with Han Jiajia for a while, but before they could exchange more than a few words, her mind began to wander, and she looked incredibly drowsy. The next second, her head tilted, and she fell soundly asleep. Seeing this, Liu Ergou understood she was simply exhausted from the previous night.

So he decided not to disturb her. He quietly left the room and headed for his car. After some thought, Liu Ergou decided to head over to Lu Xiaoyu's place, since Feng Chunling and Yang Mei were leaving today.

He drove over and quickly arrived at the villa, but once there, he found Lu Xiaoyu and the other two fast asleep. He thought it over and decided not to disturb them. Instead, he turned around, planning to head back to Han Jiajia's place. After all, she was there all alone. It wouldn't be a big deal to just hold her and sleep a bit more, he reasoned.

However, halfway there, he suddenly felt an urgent need to relieve himself. With no public restroom in sight, Liu Ergou had no choice but to pull over, find a dark corner, and prepare to do his business. A moment later, he finished up, feeling thoroughly refreshed.

Just as he was about to return to his car, he suddenly felt a gust of wind behind his head, as if something was flying right at him. Without a moment's hesitation, Liu Ergou ducked. A sharp SMACK echoed through the alley. Looking toward the sound, he saw a smooth, egg-sized stone embedded in the alley's stone wall.

When Liu Ergou saw this, he couldn't help but frown. His entire body went on high alert as he immediately dove behind some cover. Concealed, he vigilantly scanned his surroundings, observing everything carefully. However, after a thorough inspection, he couldn't find his attacker and came up empty-handed.

This made Liu Ergou frown once more. Being ambushed so early in the morning for no apparent reason put him in a foul mood. But what was done was done, and he needed to figure out how to handle it.

Just as he was pondering how to find the person who had attacked him, a dark figure appeared by his side. A deep voice spoke next to his ear. "Tsk, after more than half a month, you've made some progress, but you're still too weak."

"Still, it's not a total loss, I suppose. I'm surprised you passed my little test. I honestly thought that stone of mine would have smashed your skull!"

"Seriously, you need to improve faster. Strive to reach the Innate Realm as soon as possible. Only then will you be able to see some of the truth!"

These words raised several questions in Liu Ergou's mind. However, before he could say anything, the hand on his back vanished. He hurriedly spun around, only to see nothing there.

Liu Ergou understood that his attacker had already left. That person's speed was incredible, he thought. I couldn't even react in time. But what did all that mean? That I can only see the truth after reaching the Innate Realm? What truth? What could there possibly be? My family has been farmers for three generations; what secrets could we have? The biggest secret is probably... that there are no secrets!

With this thought, Liu Ergou let out a hearty laugh. But his laughter faded, and his expression turned serious again. He knew the situation was grave. He had to get back to the village immediately and ask his master, Swallow Li, about this.

As for why he had to ask Swallow Li, the old saying goes, an elder in the family is a treasure. Besides, Swallow Li was his master. Wasn't it his duty to help him solve his problems? Having made his decision, Liu Ergou sped back to Han Jiajia's home and explained what had happened. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

When Han Jiajia understood that he had urgent matters to attend to, she didn't hesitate for a moment, nodding in agreement for him to return to the village. Liu Ergou didn't waste a second. Forgetting all about Feng Chunling and Yang Mei, he sped off toward his village.

A few hours later, Liu Ergou arrived back in the village. The first thing he did was park his car and head straight for Swallow Li's house.

It was barely noon. Swallow Li was lying in his courtyard, leisurely basking in the sun.

When he saw Liu Ergou arrive, he spoke with an air of surprise, "Well, Er Gou, what brings you to see this lonely old man? I thought you'd run off to your girlfriend's place and forgotten all about your poor old teacher!"

Liu Ergou naturally understood the jab was aimed at him, but he wasn't in the mood for banter. He had urgent business to discuss.

"Master, now's not the time for jokes," Liu Ergou said, getting straight to the point. "I was just out for a walk today when someone ambushed me! The guy was incredibly strong. Even going all out, I was completely outmatched. The odds were eight to two against me. As he was leaving, he said some strange things. He said I was too weak to grasp the truth. So, Master, I need you to help me find out who this person is!"

Swallow Li didn't reject his request, simply nodding in agreement. Then he waved a dismissive hand at Liu Ergou.

"Alright, Er Gou. If that's all, you can go now. I need to get back to my sunbathing."

"I'll let you know when I find something. Now, off with you!"

Having said this, Swallow Li lay back down on his chair, closed his eyes, and resumed enjoying his sunbath.
