Time trickled by, second by second...
Just as the young doctor and the middle-aged man were about to break, a faint cough came from the little girl on the bed.
That single sound caused the middle-aged man, tense as a drawn bowstring, to suddenly go limp and fall to the ground.
"Wuwuwu..."
Tears of joy streamed down his face.
He watched as his daughter's complexion returned to normal and exclaimed, "Rou Rou, you're awake! You scared your daddy to death!"
Rou Rou blinked her bright, black gem-like eyes and said, "Daddy, what happened to me? Why are you crying? Mommy said men don't shed tears easily, so don't cry!"
Her adorable voice filled the air, warming their hearts.
The middle-aged man exclaimed, "Dad... Daddy isn't crying, not crying!"
Meanwhile, the young doctor stood stunned, his mind buzzing.
He couldn't believe the little girl would wake up so quickly.
How...
How was this possible?
Chen Fan left only after confirming the girl was out of danger.
He smiled as he recalled the conversation between the middle-aged man and his daughter, realizing this was perhaps the meaning of being a healer that his master had once spoken of.
By the time the young doctor and the middle-aged man reacted, Chen Fan had already vanished.
...
Chen Fan walked out of the Hundred Sages Hall, and within moments, his expression turned grim.
He was being followed.
He then went to a relatively secluded spot.
The pursuer followed all the way, arriving without the slightest fear of Chen Fan knowing.
"We meet again!"
The person who appeared was none other than the Black Robe Envoy.
Chen Fan frowned upon seeing him, "You again!"
"What, you want to get beaten up again?"
The Black Robe Envoy shook his head, "No, I'm here today to deliver an invitation to you!"
"Invitation?" Chen Fan asked, confused.
The Black Robe Envoy continued, "Join us in the Dark Night. With your strength, you can also attain the position of Black Robe Envoy!"
So that was it.
Chen Fan smiled knowingly, "The people in your organization are truly something else!"
The Black Robe Envoy continued, "Join our organization, and in time, you can enjoy the pinnacle of power!"
A grand promise was dangled before Chen Fan.
Fortunately, Chen Fan wasn't a tender sprout fresh out of the gate; otherwise, he might have been easily swayed.
Chen Fan smiled faintly, "While what you say sounds very appealing, I'm simply not interested in these things!"
"Anything else?"
The Black Robe Envoy said, "Chen Fan, you must think clearly. Not everyone can join our Dark Night!"
Chen Fan narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I'm sorry, no interest. Before I get angry, I advise you to disappear from my sight quickly, or else..."
The Black Robe Envoy persisted, "If you refuse to join us in the Dark Night, then you can only be our enemy. What? Are you sure you want to be our enemy? The Dark Night organization is a colossal entity for you personally! Moreover, the Jianghu pursuit order is already after you. I'm afraid no one dares to take you in except for our Dark Night organization! To be frank, Chen Fan, you should really consider this carefully. This is the authority our Queen gave me!"
He rambled on, saying a great deal.
After a while, Chen Fan's ears grew tired. He said sternly, "Can't you understand human language? I've told you so many times, no, no, why can't you understand?"
"Do I have to beat you up again before you shut up?"
"Also, tell your Queen that even if she begged me to join your so-called Dark Night, I still wouldn't go. That's all, stop wasting my time!"
