Forced to Marry a Female Billionaire CEO-Chapter 633: Reapply

The next day.

When Xu Ke left Junyue Residence, Ye Feng was struggling to get out of bed.

"What are you doing?" Xu Ke asked, frowning.

"Just recovering a bit. I feel like I'm almost better." Ye Feng smiled, showing no sign of the sorrow from the day before.

At the Ye Family, he had learned to endure and keep a low profile. The resilience he had developed over the years only allowed him to break down once last night, not to wallow in his sorrow. Besides, he knew his time was running out, and he was desperate for his sister to live freely in the sunlight as soon as possible.

"Don't kid yourself. You call this 'almost better'?" Xu Ke curled his lip. "Your recovery isn't nearly as fast as mine. How could you possibly be better after just one night? Get back on the bed and meditate."

Ye Feng stared at Xu Ke, speechless. Cursing me is one thing, but what kind of asshole praises himself while doing it?

He sat back on the bed without a word, then hesitated. "Can I go and see Xiao Yu?"

He hadn't seen his sister in a year and wondered how she was doing. The thought alone made his heart ache.

"If you think Qin Yu won't notice something's wrong seeing you in this state, then by all means, go," Xu Ke replied, not opposed.

"Forget it then," Ye Feng grumbled. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"And don't even think about ordering takeout. There are instant noodles in the kitchen. Fend for yourself."

Afterwards, Xu Ke waved his hand and left with Tang Yingchang. He needed to go to the clinic and get the medicine from Manager Qian.

Ye Feng's expression changed dramatically. "You son of a bitch! I'm a patient, you know that?"

SLAM!

The only response he got was the heavy slam of the front door.

Ye Feng was left speechless. Fuck!

「At the clinic.」

When Xu Ke arrived, the medicine was already there, but Manager Qian was nowhere to be found, replaced by a young man.

"Where's your manager?" Xu Ke asked with a smile.

The young man bowed slightly. "Dr. Xu, Manager Qian is busy with something else, so he sent me to bring the medicine over."

Manager Qian had gotten the approval of Zhou Qingyong and his son; they didn't care how much was spent as long as they could trap Xu Ke. Even so, Manager Qian couldn't bear to watch the medicinal herbs he had worked so hard to procure simply vanish. It was like having his own flesh carved away, so he decided not to come. He was afraid Xu Ke would aggravate him into a heart attack.

"Alright!"

Xu Ke said, feeling a twinge of disappointment. He had wanted to catch up with Manager Xiao Qian and ask if he could add ten more orders. He never expected the guy to actually flake out on him. If Manager Qian knew what I was thinking, he'd be thanking his lucky stars he didn't come. Otherwise, he really would have been angered to the point of illness.

After confirming there was nothing wrong with the medicine, Xu Ke signed for the delivery and sent the young man on his way.

Xu Ke took out the medicinal materials needed for Hua Xingxue and had Chen Haiming and Dongfang Mingliang help store them. Ever since that "suicidal" sparring session, the two had grown accustomed to working here.

"Brother, where are you going?" Just as Xu Ke was about to head to the Martial Alliance, Xu Yi furiously grabbed hold of him.

Xu Ke knew exactly why she had stopped him. Without blushing or skipping a beat, he said, "I'm going to save someone's life. A house call." If I don't take advantage of my own sister, who will? Where else could I find such good free labor!

"I don't believe you!" Xu Yi snapped. "You're staying here for one hour today, or I'm not letting you leave."

Xu Ke was going too far! From the day the clinic began renovations until its current trial operation, he had never spent any significant time here, making everyone nearby think Wang Qiya was the resident doctor. As a result, with the foundation of the Medical Saint's skills and her recent training, Wang Qiya's medical abilities were improving by leaps and bounds. Even Xu Yi had picked up a trick or two. Strictly speaking, both of them could be considered Xu Ke's apprentices.

"I can't! If you make me stay, the patient I'm going to see will die! Could you live with that?" Xu Ke cried dramatically.

Xu Yi was filled with doubt. "For real?"

Xu Ke shot a look at Tang Yingchang, silently urging him to speak.

Tang Yingchang had no choice but to nod. "Miss Xu, it's true!"

"Then..." Hearing this, Xu Yi was still reluctant to believe him but didn't dare risk actually delaying something so important. She mumbled, "Then you should go..."

Xu Ke grabbed Tang Yingchang and sprinted away. "See you tomorrow!"

Watching Xu Ke's retreating figure, Xu Yi seethed and gnashed her teeth. That guy... he's clearly just using me as a tool!

「The Martial Alliance.」

"Old Hua, are you ready?" Xu Ke asked, placing the prepared ointment on a table next to a nervous-looking Hua Xingxue.

"Ready, ready!" Hua Xingxue was extremely tense, his palms drenched in sweat and his heart torn between hope and fear.

After such a long time, it would be a complete lie to say he wasn't looking forward to regaining his martial prowess. Yet, he was also afraid. If Xu Ke failed, wouldn't all his hopes be dashed? And he wouldn't be able to help Xu Ke deal with the Ye Family either.

"Don't worry, Old Hua, just relax," Xu Ke said with a smile. "This time it's quite simple. I've examined your body. You did indeed disperse your own power, but since you didn't destroy your Dantian, your foundation is still intact."

"So, this time, I just need to help you restore the flow in your meridians. You will see results very quickly, but your strength won't immediately return to the Innate Late Stage. I estimate that the best-case scenario is the Postnatal Late Stage. You should prepare yourself mentally!"

Hua Xingxue hastily shook his head. "It's alright, Dr. Xu! I'll be more than satisfied just to regain my strength. I'm just worried that if my strength doesn't return, I'll no longer be qualified to serve as the Law Enforcement Hall Chief!"

"Then you have nothing to worry about. I'm certain of success," Xu Ke said with a smile.

With that, the last of Hua Xingxue's doubts vanished. He stripped naked, lay down on the bed, and allowed Xu Ke to begin applying the ointment while simultaneously performing the Seven-Star Exquisite Needle technique.

「Some time later.」

Drenched in sweat, Xu Ke walked out of the room.

"How did it go?" Yuan Shang, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, quickly stepped forward to ask. Behind him, Chen Xiong also looked anxious.

They were both deeply concerned that Hua Xingxue's treatment might have failed. It wasn't because they desperately wanted him back as the Law Enforcement Hall Chief, but simply because Hua Xingxue was their friend.

"It went very smoothly," Xu Ke said with a slight smile, seeing their concern.

The two men instantly let out a sigh of relief, then burst into hearty laughter.

「Shortly after.」

A piece of news spread from the Martial Alliance: Hua Xingxue had submitted an application to assume the position of Law Enforcement Hall Chief!

In that moment, Tianhai was once again shaken.

"What is going on these days? The Martial Alliance's actions are too abnormal. What does this mean?" At the Huang Family, Huang Zhendong's face was ashen as he looked at the several people sitting below him.

"Unless I'm mistaken, Xu Ke must be the one stirring up trouble behind the scenes," Huang Sheng said calmly. "Ever since Xu Ke got into cahoots with the Martial Alliance, its demeanor has completely changed. It has shed its former stability, timidity, and passivity, and is now posturing as if it's ready to retake control of Tianhai's order. Xu Ke is, without a doubt, the one pulling the strings!"
