Li Chuan nodded, "That's right, this witchcraft has already been undone."
"Then, what is my father's current condition?"
Li Chuan: "Old Master Zhou's health is very good. As long as he exercises daily, takes care of his health, watches his diet, and doesn't randomly take medication, he'll have no problem living another twenty or thirty years."
Hearing this, Zhou Wei and his group finally breathed a sigh of relief. They were all very grateful and greatly admired Li Chuan. If Zhou Ruolan hadn't brought Li Chuan back in time, the Zhou Family would have faced a disaster!
Thinking about that terrifying witchcraft just now made Zhou Wei and his group still feel a lingering fear!
Zhou Wei truly admired Li Chuan as he saw in this young man a calm composure, remaining unflinching even when humiliated or doubted by others, proving himself with his strength and shaming those who insulted him!
Most importantly, he truly has real skills!
No wonder Zhou Ruolan trusts him so much.
Compared to him, Ruolan's fiancé Han De seems rather lacking.
Then, Li Chuan and his group walked out of the room. Seeing Old Master Zhou looking spirited, everyone in the Zhou Family was extremely pleased, deeply admiring Li Chuan's medical skills!
A little girl walked up to Zhou Ruolan and whispered in her ear, "Sister, is this handsome guy your new boyfriend?"
This little girl was Zhou Zhimin, Zhou Ruolan's younger sister.
Upon hearing this question, Zhou Ruolan blushed, "What nonsense are you talking about, what new boyfriend?"
Zhou Zhimin giggled, "You have a fiancé, yet you're so close with this handsome guy now. Isn't he your new boyfriend?"
At this time, Han De stood outside the crowd, looking at Li Chuan surrounded by the Zhou Family, feeling utterly helpless inside!
How could you just blatantly bring him home to make me wear a green hat in front of Zhou Ruolan's family! You might as well have been discreet!
The affectionate glances Ruolan and Zhou Zhimin exchanged with Li Chuan further hurt him!
To heck with this marriage!
Soon, the Zhou Family prepared a banquet. Although Zeng Youqian and Han De were also invited, the protagonist of the evening was undoubtedly Li Chuan!
"Mr. Li, I toast to you! Thank you for saving my grandfather and all of us in the Zhou Family!"
Zhou Zhimin approached Li Chuan with her wine glass, smiling.
"It's my duty, no need to be so formal."
Li Chuan downed his drink in one go, knowing he originally came to treat the old master.
Although Zhou Family held him in high regard, as a junior, he couldn't neglect mutual courtesy and offered his toast as well.
Formalities are a must at the table.
After the banquet ended, night had already fallen. Li Chuan planned to deliver clothes to Chen Lu, so he bade farewell to Zhou Ruolan and left first.
As for Zhou Ruolan, who had just arrived home, she needed to reunite with her mother and sister.
When he took a ride to the entrance of Chen Lu's university, the street lights had already lit up, illuminating the youthful figures of students coming in and out of the campus.
Seeing these figures, Li Chuan couldn't help but recall Dabiao and Wang Jun. If not for obtaining the Lingxi Mutual Sensitivity Technique, he would definitely be in university studying, living an ordinary life just like them.
Thinking about it, Li Chuan let out a quiet sigh, realizing that he could never lead an ordinary life again.
After waiting at the entrance for over ten minutes, Chen Lu came rushing out excitedly after receiving his call. Upon seeing Li Chuan, she couldn't contain her excitement, opened her arms, and ran straight into his embrace.
"Ahem, ahem..."
Li Chuan felt a bit shy, recalling that Chen Lu had explicitly declined his proposal of being friends with benefits previously. He wondered why she was now so enthusiastic.
"Dr. Li, you must have something to do in the provincial capital. You even brought me some things, my dad really doesn't worry about inconveniencing you. By the way, have you had dinner? Let me treat you!" Chen Lu, realizing her gesture was overly intimate, blushed.
Her look was both shy and captivating, and dressed in a white floral dress with light makeup, she truly resembled Bai Lu, a TV star.
Seeing Li Chuan, Chen Lu's heart pounded wildly. Even though she previously told Li Chuan she'd never be his lover or friend with benefits, upon returning home, she felt she might have been wrong.
Because once feelings arise, they are hard to control.
She dreamt of being with Li Chuan at night.
When she awoke, thoughts of Li Chuan filled her mind.
Sometimes she thought, if only she could make Li Chuan completely fall for her during their interactions, wouldn't that transform him?
So, she specifically called her father, Chen Yashan, to ask Li Chuan to bring her some clothes whenever he'd return to the city.
Who would have thought the opportunity would come so quickly!
Even fate is on her side!
"Dinner? I've already eaten. No need for the hassle," Li Chuan chuckled. Though he enjoyed dual cultivation with women, he was unwilling to develop deep emotional attachments, knowing he would always come and go like the wind, indifferent to staying.
Of course, if it's just a simple dual cultivation partner, like with Mu Weishuang, Huo Xiuxiu, Yang Xin'Er, or Song Zihan, then it's fine. After all, each flower has its unique charm; the more he experiences, the faster his cultivation progresses.
But Chen Lu wanted to marry him!
That was absolutely out of the question. Despite his flaws, he still had his principles.
"Then… let's go to a western restaurant for some wine!" Chen Lu pleaded, with a hint of unsaid intentions.
Li Chuan sensed something was amiss and curiously asked, "Did something happen?"
Chen Lu hesitated and then admitted, "I recently went for an internship and ended up being pursued by a guy. I've turned him down several times, but he's persistent. Since I came home last time, I've developed feelings for you! So, could you pretend to be my boyfriend to help me reject him?"
Li Chuan: "So, you're using me as a shield?"
Chen Lu teased, "Well, I've already fallen for you anyway. Whether you help me or not, you must help. Originally, I intended to clarify things with him today, but it would be much better if you were with me!"
"Got it!"
With that, Chen Lu tiptoed and kissed Li Chuan on the cheek.
"If you help me with this, I will definitely express my gratitude properly! In a way where you don't have to be responsible."
