Problem Solved?

Seeing the Xiao Clan disciples dispersing, Xiao Lingxi approached him and bowed.

"Thank you Jiao Heng for helping us." 

"Indeed young man." Xiao Lie touched his beard and nodded.

"Xiao Lingxi is my friend. It's normal." Jiao Heng waved his hand.

Xiao Lingxi was touched hearing this.

Xiao Che, who saw that everyone is finally gone, came back to greet his adoptive relatives for the last time.

"Xiao Che…I—!" Xiao Lie wanted to say something but his adoptive grandson beat him up to it.

"Grandpa, although we are not blood relatives. As long as you don't abandon me. I will always be your grandson." Xiao Che kowtowed and said with determination.

"Yes, you're my grandson." Xiao Lie wanted to burst into tears but held himself.

Leaving the three to say their farewells, Jiao Heng was approached by Xia Qingyue and Chu Yueli.

"That was…spectacular." To his surprise, Xia Qingyue spoke first.

Jiao Heng snorted and cupped his fist towards the other girl.

"Greetings to the Fairy of the Frozen Grass." 

Chu Yueli didn't say anything and just nodded. 

He wasn't offended by this. He already knows that most fairies from the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace are statues and talking to trees is more interesting than them.

For some reason, Chu Yueli and Xia Qingyue felt that this guy was thinking something bad about them.

"Did you just think of something rude?" Xia Qingyue asked.

"No? Anyway, I'm gonna go. See ya." Jiao Heng denied and turned around.

"Wait! Brother Heng!"

'Brother Heng?' Curious, he turned around and saw 'Xiao' Che calling up to him.

Seeing Jiao Heng stopped. 'Xiao' Che cupped his fist with a solemn face and said.

"Brother Heng, whether it's saving me or my little aunt. I, Xiao Che, am indebted to you." He looked at him with determination.

"If there's anything I could do to help. I would be glad to help you, my brother." 

Jiao Heng was surprised at this and even felt dumbfounded.

Yes, although Yun Che is a retard, he's not someone who forgets his debts unless it's for a woman.

(*Cough* Long Bai *Cough*)

In the earlier parts of the story, he wasn't as stupid compared when he ascended to the God Realm.

Add that with his current powerless state, it's not strange for him to say this.

"Che'er…" Xiao Lingxi's eyes started to drip.

"Indeed Jiao Heng, you saved my grandson and daughter's life. If there's something I can do, then this old man will trouble you." After knowing the character of this young man, Xiao Like wasn't embarrassed to express his gratitude.

He doesn't have any arrogance despite having great strength. In this world, such people are rare and deserve to be praised.

Xiao Lie looked at his daughter and nodded. If possible, he events to put them in marriage together.

"I won't be polite then." Seeing their insistence, Jiao Heng thought for a moment and nodded.

He needs something from 'Xiao' Che anyway.

Hearing this, Xiao Che sighed with relief. He's not comfortable with having debts and he has a good impression on Jiao Heng.

Xia Qingyue and Chu Yueli looked at the four and decided to leave. This is a family matter, they have no part in this.

Before leaving, Xia Qingyue took a last look at Jiao Heng, the curiosity about his background keeps scratching her heart.

Chu Yueli saw her disciple's action but didn't say anything. She was curious too but due to not having any information beforehand, she wasn't as intrigued as her disciple.

—

"Heng'er, take a seat." Back at the inn of Xiao Clan, Xiao Lie enthusiastically greeted him.

"Heng'er?" Jiao Heng tilted his head. When did he have such an intimate name?

"Hahahaha, is it so strange? You helped my precious daughter and grandson. Just by that, you're already enough to be welcome in our family." Standing beside Xiao Lie is his daughter Xiao Lingxi and his adopted grandson Xiao Che.

Before the two of them leave the city, Xiao Lie wanted to discuss something with him.

"No, it's just a surprise." Jiao Heng shook his head. He was just surprised as he didn't have any families in this world.

Xiao Lie smiled hearing that.

"So Elder Xiao Lie, what could this junior do for you?" Jiao Heng took a sip of the tea that was placed on the table by the servants. Although he felt grateful about his gesture, he wasn't interested in making any relationships in this city.

Especially someone like Yun Che who might become his enemy in the future.

"What are your plans Heng'er?" Xiao Lie wasn't bothered by his formal address and asked.

"I want to explore the continent. Go from city to city and improve my strength." He replied.

Xiao Lie nodded in understanding. Jiao Heng is young and vigorous. Young man his age wants to see the world.

"I could see that but young man, do you have any resources that will accompany you on your way?"

".... What do you want to say, Elder Xiao?" 

Jiao Heng could see what this guy wanted.

Xiao Lie smiled and replied, "As a token of my gratitude. I would like to help you solve this problem."

"This junior won't be polite then." Jiao Heng agreed readily. He's in dire need of items so this is just what he needs.

Seeing this, Xiao Lie secretly sighed in relief. 

"Could I make another request?" 

"Oh?" 

Xiao Lie was intrigued. 

"It's not much. I just want to ask if you know any doctor— medical saints?" Jiao Heng asked.

"Are you sick?" Xiao Lingxi, who was quiet on the side asked with a worried tone.

Xiao Che, who heard this, was curious. He didn't see any symptoms of sickness.

"There's no sickness. It's about my profound veins instead." Jiao Heng explained the problem. 

He knows that Yun Che is listening. It doesn't matter whether Xiao Lie recommends someone or not.

Hearing this, Xiao Lie frowned. He knows some people who sell medicines but a medical saint who can check profound veins? 

The only person he's aware of who can do that was the medical saint in the Blue Wind Empire.

"I'm afraid I don't know how to deal with this. The only information I can give you is that there's a medical saint in the Blue Wind Empire." Xiao Lie sighed in pity.

"Unfortunately, I don't think you can get him to check your profound veins. He's very well respected, even by the emperor." 

Jiao Heng thought for a moment and nodded. He does remember such a person.

Xiao Che who was listening to this suddenly intervened.

"Grandpa, there's something that I want to tell to Brother Heng." After hearing it, Xiao Lie was surprised but quickly nodded in understanding.

Dragging the confused Xiao Lingxi, the Elder of the Xiao Clan left them alone inside the room.

"What's the matter Xiao Che?" Jiao Heng pretended to be confused and asked.

"Brother Heng, you said that you have problems about your profound veins right?" Xiao Che asked.

"Indeed. What about it?" Jiao Heng took a sip.

"As payment for saving me, can I help brother Heng in that problem?"

Jiao Heng's eyes widened slightly at that. 

He didn't think that Yun Che would outright help him. 

"Then I'll trouble you." He didn't refuse.

"It seems that Brother Heng has a lot of trust in me." Xiao Che said in surprise.

After all, he was but a cripple, he was expecting some sort of doubt from him.

"I'll take my chances. Even if you can't do it, it wouldn't hurt to try." Jiao Heng shrugged. 

Xiao Che nodded slowly at that.

"Then let's begin." 

"Here?" 

"Yes brother Heng." Xiao Che brought out needles from somewhere.

Jiao Heng raised his eyebrows but didn't ask.

"What should I do now?" 

"Please turn around and show me your bareback." 

(So sussy ngl when I wrote this)

Jiao Heng can see what he wants so he did.

Seeing Jiao Heng undoing his clothes, Xiao Che was surprised. 

He can't believe someone could be so masculine yet feminine.

In terms of skin texture that is.

Pushing those strange thoughts aside. Xiao Che quickly inserted a few needles in his back.

This feeling made Jiao Heng pleasantly surprised. As a modern person, he hasn't experienced any acupuncture treatment.

Xiao Che looked at his back and observed something before a green flash appeared on his palm.

A few moments later, Xiao Che's heavy breathing resounded to the room.

Although he knows that it wasn't what he thought it was, Jiao Heng couldn't help but shudder a little.

Can you make it a little faster? 

As if he heard his inner voice, Xiao Che removed the needles from his back and layed down while covered in sweat.

Jiao Heng's aura skyrocketed signifying his breakthrough. It seems that the accumulated energy has been released to his body.

Restraining the aura, Jiao Heng dressed himself and looked at Xiao Che who was panting.

"Xiao Che you…"

"Hahaha, don't worry about it Brother Heng. With this, we are even." 

Jiao Heng shook his head and got something from his pocket.

"No, that was my good will." He handed a couple nails sized of Purple Veined Divine Crystals, "This is my payment."

Xiao Che was about to refuse but after seeing the purple crystal, he swallowed the lump on his throat and accepted it.

In normal circumstances, he would already cross it as even but seeing the big payment, Xiao Che couldn't refuse.

This is a Purple Veined Divine Crystals! Once he has repaired his Profound Veins, this will be a huge help for his cultivation.

Looking at the crystals and looking at Jiao Heng again, Xiao Che was dumbfounded. Is this guy that rich?

Jiao Heng saw his expression and made a 'shh' gesture.

Xiao Che nodded and hastily hid the crystals before cupping his fist.

Jiao Heng responded in kind and did the same.

—

"What happened?" Seeing the two of them come out, Xiao Lingxi asked in curiosity.

Jiao Heng looked at Xiao Che, seeing the former, Xiao Che coughed and said.

"I just helped brother Heng, little aunt."

"Is that so…?" 

Xiao Lingxi squinted her eyes with suspicion. 

Seeing her daughter, Xiao Lie eased the atmosphere with a laugh.

"Well Heng'er, when are you going to leave?" 

"By tomorrow if possible." 

"Don't worry, I can help you with it. Che'er?" 

Xiao Lie nodded and looked at his adopted grandson.

"I think I'll also follow Brother Heng's path and…"

Xiao Che touched his necklace subconsciously.

Seeing this, Xiao Lie sighed.

"Che'er, your true family, your true surname is Yun. I do not know where they are unfortunately." 

"I see…." 

"Then grandpa, please forgive this unfilial grandson. I'll be changing my surname to Yun." Xiao—no, Yun Che said with conviction.

"It's alright. I knew it would happen the moment the truth came out." 

"Grandpa…" 

Jiao Heng just looks at the two with a melon eating expression. 

Can I go now? 

He's not in a rush per say but he still needs to cultivate. 

Aside from his secrets, he doesn't have any noteworthy legacy and he hasn't found what elements he has.

Thinking of the Heretic God Legacy, Jiao Heng couldn't help but sigh. 

It's really lucky to have such a legacy and plot armor.
