Just as Ye Renxin was pondering how to obtain a precious Great Restoration Pill from Dai Chengfeng for his granddaughter…

At this moment, Dai Chengfeng's gaze swept over Ye Lingling and Ye Renxin. "Elder Ye and Lingling, hold out your hands…"

"You each get one."

Instantly, Ye Renxin and Ye Lingling thought they were hearing things, instinctively exchanging glances.

Their eyes were filled with disbelief.

Although their relationship with Dai Chengfeng was close, they weren't blood-related, and the Great Restoration Pill was incredibly precious.

Ye Renxin had even mentally prepared himself to pay any price necessary to secure one for his granddaughter…

And yet, Dai Chengfeng was saying that they would receive one too?

Thinking about it, Ye Renxin looked at Dai Chengfeng, his voice trembling with barely concealed excitement and a hint of uncertainty. "Chengfeng, you're saying… me and Lingling both get one?!"

"Of course. We'll all be family soon."

Dai Chengfeng's lips curled into a confident smile as he nodded firmly.

Although Dai Chengfeng knew how valuable the Great Restoration Pills were, he couldn't consume a second one in such a short time.

After setting aside two pills for Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, and deducting six more for himself, his father, mother, uncle, the high priest, and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, four pills remained.

Giving one each to Ye Renxin and Ye Lingling was no trouble for Dai Chengfeng.

Even if there were no pills left, Dai Chengfeng would still unhesitatingly give one each to Ye Renxin and Ye Lingling.

If the Great Restoration Pills ran out, he could always refine more.

At worst, he could persuade the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, who roamed freely in the core region of the Star Forest, to become his worker beast and help him find more Youlan Grass.

After all, during his last visit to the core region of the Star Forest, Dai Chengfeng had only explored a small portion due to time constraints.

Where there was one Youlan Grass, there might be more.

But there was only one Saint of Medicine, Ye Renxin.

His martial spirit and medical knowledge were invaluable—not just to Dai Chengfeng, but to the Star Luo Empire as well.

Far more precious than the Great Restoration Pills.

As Ye Lingling gazed at Dai Chengfeng's decisive demeanor, her eyes brimmed with gratitude. Unconsciously, she twisted the hem of her clothes, her heart pounding wildly.

"Th... thank you, Chengfeng."

Ye Renxin, on the other hand, first looked at Dai Chengfeng, then at his granddaughter, his eyes flickering with complex emotions.

There was shock and gratitude for the generous gift, as well as consideration for his granddaughter's future…

Finally, he slowly nodded, his voice carrying a hint of solemnity. "Then, I'll humbly accept!"

Dai Chengfeng kept smiling. "Elder Ye, there's no need to be so formal with me."

Ye Renxin shook his head, his tone sincere. "It's not about being formal. I'm truly grateful to Your Highness, given how precious the Great Restoration Pills are…"

Here, he paused.

"Sigh~!"

Ye Renxin took a deep breath.

His gaze drifted toward the distance, seemingly toward the direction of Tian Dou City.

When he turned back to look at Dai Chengfeng, his eyes held a newfound sense of relief. "So be it…"

With a smile, Ye Renxin said, "Chengfeng, I've long noticed your intention to recruit me."

"But I've spent nearly my entire life in the Tian Dou Empire, and the Ye Family Clinic is my life's work, so I've deliberately pretended not to notice."

"However, today, this Great Restoration Pill not only greatly benefits Lingling's future but also shows me your sincerity."

"I'm willing to agree to accompany you to the Star Luo Empire and see for myself…"

He then turned to Ye Lingling. "If Lingling can adapt to the living and teaching environment in the Star Luo Empire, I wouldn't mind staying there for a long time."

"What do you think?"

"Really?!"

A flash of surprise instantly lit up Dai Chengfeng's eyes.

Though he had indeed entertained such thoughts, he had never voiced them outright. He certainly hadn't expected Ye Renxin to make this decision at this moment.

"These two Great Restoration Pills are worth every bit of it!"

What's most important in the competition for dominance on the Douluo Continent?

Talent!

Whether it's Ye Renxin, an 81st-rank Soul Douluo, or Ye Lingling, who possesses the Nine-Heart Begonia and has the potential to become a Title Douluo in the future—they are talents Dai Chengfeng desperately wants!

As these thoughts crossed his mind, Dai Chengfeng quickly made a promise to Ye Renxin. "Elder Ye, rest assured!"

"The Star Luo Empire will provide you and Lingling with the best treatment. The legacy of the Ye Family Clinic will also flourish even more in the Star Luo Empire."

"You will not regret your decision today!"

Ye Renxin gave a slight nod, saying nothing more. He simply looked at Ye Lingling, his eyes full of affection.

Feeling her grandfather's gaze, Ye Lingling lifted her head and gave him a gentle smile.

Then, she stole another glance at Dai Chengfeng, her eyes brimming with shyness and anticipation, as if dreaming of her future life in the Star Luo Empire…

At this moment, Zhu Fan, who had been quietly observing everything from the side, now smiled and stepped forward.

"Elder Ye, Chengfeng will not disappoint you!"

Ye Renxin glanced at Zhu Fan, his eyes scrutinizing, then nodded. "I hope so."

Though Ye Renxin had visited the Star Luo Empire before, those trips had always been brief…

Now, choosing to settle there permanently, he still harbored some concerns about the unknown.

After all, who could predict how the higher-ups of the Star Luo Empire would treat him?

Next—

Dai Chengfeng and Ye Renxin engaged in an in-depth discussion regarding the relocation and preparation matters of the Ye Family Clinic's heritage.

Prince Dai Chengfeng proposed providing ample manpower and resources to ensure the safe and complete transportation of the clinic's precious books and medical equipment to the Star Luo Empire.

Regarding the timeline, the Saint of Medicine Ye Renxin provided a reasonable estimate based on the actual situation.

Prince Dai Chengfeng expressed that his side would fully understand and respect this…

Throughout the detailed discussion, the exchange between the two flowed smoothly, showcasing their sincerity and trust.

Ultimately, the conversation concluded in a pleasant atmosphere.

That's all for today's news broadca—

Ahem, in short, everything went smoothly.

Once all discussions were finished, Dai Chengfeng tilted his head slightly, gazing at the crescent moon hanging high in the sky.

"Elder Ye, it's already very late. You and Lingling still have to take the Great Restoration Pill tonight, and we'll be traveling again tomorrow, so I won't keep you any longer."

Ye Renxin nodded slowly. "Very well."

With that, he prepared to leave with Ye Lingling.

Ye Lingling walked hesitantly behind her grandfather for a few steps before suddenly stopping and turning around.

Her cheeks were faintly flushed under the moonlight, her eyes filled with shyness and gratitude.

"Chengfeng…"

Seeing Ye Lingling like this, Dai Chengfeng offered a gentle smile.

"Lingling, what is it?" he asked softly.

Ye Lingling bit her lip lightly. "Um… thank you for today. I'll remember it forever. Goodnight."

"You should get some rest too. Goodnight, Lingling."

"Mm…"

She softly replied, then couldn't help but steal one last glance at Dai Chengfeng before turning around and happily skipping off to catch up with her grandfather.

Dai Chengfeng stood where he was, watching as Ye Lingling and Ye Renxin's figures gradually disappeared into the night.

"Chengfeng, I'll go back and take the Great Restoration Pill now."

At this moment, Zhu Fan stepped forward, a smile on his face. As he spoke, he unconsciously rubbed his hands together, his eyes gleaming with excitement…

The allure of the Great Restoration Pill had him eager to return home.

Seeing Zhu Fan's impatience, Dai Chengfeng's lips curved upward slightly, a mysterious glint in his eyes. "Uncle, wait a moment. There's something else I need to tell you…"

"It's extremely important!"

Zhu Fan's eyebrows twitched slightly, curiosity flashing in his eyes as he instinctively stopped in his tracks.

"You brat, what are you hiding from me?!"
