Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 242 — Xi Family Arrival
It took five days for the Chu clan to stabilize the situation, starting from burying the corpses in the clan territory to repairing the damage caused by the battle.
The residents of the Chu clan who were originally hidden in a special place were now allowed to return to their respective residences and be able to move as usual.
During those five days also Zhou Yuan still remained in his room, besides eroding his murderous aura, he also recovered his inner power back.
No one dared to disturb the young man while in the room, Chu Guyu himself did indeed order his clan members not to knock on Zhou Yuan's room for fear of being able to disturb the resting Zhou Yuan.
Every day there was a waiter who would bring food to be placed in front of Zhou Yuan's room door and replaced every eight hours
Zhou Yuan himself did not eat the food because he was still busy to erode his murderous aura.
A murderous aura required a long process as it eroded rather than filling up the power within, Zhou Yuan made sure the aura he managed to hide perfectly.
On Zhou Yuan's third day in the room, he heard the news that many Xi Families were coming to the Chu clan.
Zhou Yuan's keen sense of hearing could hear all the news clearly especially from the whispers of the Chu clan guards.
"So then, the leader of the Xi Family indirectly ordered all of its scattered members to regroup in the Chu clan after several weeks of assaulting their residence. With this strategy, the criminal organizations would not have guessed that they could regroup..." Zhou Yuan opened his eyes for a moment upon hearing the information from the guards chatting outside.
The members of the Xi Family who came to the Chu clan were immediately welcomed by Chu Guyu, Xi Jinxue had already walked out of his room since hearing the news to meet with his brothers and family.
The girl had long since worried about her family and seeing them in such a state of fine made Xi Jinxue feel relieved.
Right on the fifth day, another news was heard and the news was quite surprising that about the arrival of Xi Kai to the Chu clan, the leader of the Xi Family was actually safe from the siege of his enemies.
Although he was still alive, Xi Kai had actually suffered serious internal injuries, the Xi Family leader had even instantly fallen unconscious when he arrived at this clan.
Chu Guyu tried to treat it with the healers with the medicinal plants they had, in fact Xi Kai's condition did not improve even worse until it was declared critical.
Hearing Xi Kai's information in critical condition that Zhou Yuan finally came out of his room.
A servant who daily guarded Zhou Yuan's room door was shocked when the young man opened the door.
The servant was a woman who was still in her teens, she lowered her face when she saw Zhou Yuan and did not dare to look him in the eye.
Almost all the members of the Chu clan knew of Zhou Yuan's actions while the battle was going on, seeing that the young man was so savage as to kill his opponent without the slightest hesitation made anyone who heard or saw him feel fear.
"Sir, is there anything you want?" The servant asked in a soft tone, trying to keep his voice from bothering Zhou Yuan's ears.
Zhou Yuan smiled faintly at the servant's fear. "Can I meet Matriarch Chu? There's something I want to talk to him about."
The waiter nodded. "Sure sir, come with me..."
Chu Guyu who at that time seemed busy with his work became enthusiastic when Zhou Yuan came. Without waiting for time he immediately greeted the young man and invited him in.
"It looks like Matriarch Chu is busy, am I bothering you?" Zhou Yuan smiled faintly seeing that there was a pile of paper on Chu Guyu's workbench.
Chu Guyu smiled awkwardly, those papers are budget reports regarding the improvement of the Chu clan, after the attack, the condition of the Chu clan has indeed begun to improve but the budget of money spent during the repair is very large. Chu Guyu ensured that the financial condition of his clan was in a stable condition.
"Not even Senior Yuan, those papers can be worked on at any time." Chu Guyu smiled awkwardly. "Actually from that I've been waiting for you."
"I happen to be the same, I heard that the leader of the Xi Family came here in a bad condition and is currently being critical, if I may want to check on him..."
Chu Guyu raised an eyebrow, in fact he wanted to discuss that with Zhou Yuan and ask him for help but he did not expect that Zhou Yuan was the one who offered it first.
"Actually I also want to ask for help regarding it, Xi Kai's condition is getting worse, the treatment in the Chu clan can only make him survive but to cure him are two different things."
Without waiting for a long time Chu Guyu immediately led Zhou Yuan to where Xi Kai lay, when there he found Xi Jinxue and his family were there accompanying Xi Kai in a critical period.
"Brother Yuan..." Xi Jinxue was shocked when Zhou Yuan came with Chu Guyu.
Xi Jinxue seemed to be crying out as well as his family, Zhou Yuan saw Xi Kai lying on the bed, his breathing looking so weak.
Zhou Yuan placed his hand on Xi Kai's body to check on his condition, he was so shocked when he learned of the Xi Family's condition.
"It's..."
Zhou Yuan held his breath, he did not expect Xi Kai's injuries to be even more serious than he expected. By using deep power even Zhou Yuan would not be able to heal wounds this serious.
What made Zhou Yuan surprised was how Xi Kai could still survive with internal injuries this severe let alone that he had already traveled far to where the Chu clan was.
Zhou Yuan then took out the fruit from under his cloak which he had actually taken from the space ring. The fruit came from the world of Yun Feiyu who had the most serious inner wound healing properties.
Zhou Yuan squeezed the fruit so that the drops came out, the drops of water Zhou Yuan pointed at Xi Kai's mouth which was immediately swallowed by him.
Even though the fruit juice that came out was only one drop but it was enough to make Xi Kai's condition improve.
Slowly the hue of Xi Kai's skin color returned and did not pale anymore, Zhou Yuan helped with the energy in order for the juice to work faster and spread throughout the body.
Chu Guyu was surprised by this as he and the Chu clan healers had already tried but no one could heal his internal injuries yet Zhou Yuan could with a short period of time recover Xi Kai's condition by almost a hundred percent.
Chu Guyu began to wonder what fruit Zhou Yuan had given Xi Kai because it seemed like the fruit had high healing properties. The fruit was very foreign and Chu Guyu had only first seen the fruit have such a color and shape.
