A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Han's eyes, and he said with a smile: "Really, you didn't even tell me you were fine. I was worried for a while. Where is she now? I have to go over and have a good chat with her later."

"Uh... Oh, Miss Chen just woke up and may still be resting. She needs to rest well. It wouldn't be a good idea to disturb her now. Brother Chen, you should not go for now."

Chen Han frowned upon hearing this, a hint of doubt in his heart. He said anxiously, "I know that. I won't disturb her for too long. I'll just go take a look, say hello, and confirm that she's okay. Brother Xiao, don't keep me in suspense. At least tell me her location!"

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Chen Han, Xiao Feng sighed helplessly and said, "Well... fine, I know I can't stop you. Miss Chen has been settled in the wing room in the east courtyard. But you must remember! Just take a look, don't stay there too long, don't let her get tired."

Chen Han listened to Xiao Feng's repeated instructions, and he felt increasingly strange. He felt as if Xiao Feng was deliberately hiding something, but he couldn't put his finger on the specific reason. But at this moment, he was so focused on seeing Chen Yue as soon as possible and confirming her condition that he didn't think much about it.

He nodded and replied, "I understand, Brother Xiao. I'll take my leave then."

After saying that, Chen Han turned around and walked towards where Xiao Mengyue was, thinking in his mind that he would first deliver the food in his hand to Xiao Mengyue, settle the little girl, and then rush to the east courtyard room to visit Chen Yue.

After Chen Han delivered the food to Xiao Mengyue, he ate with her and played with her for a while. Only when he saw that Xiao Mengyue looked satisfied did he put her down. Then, Chen Han walked towards the east courtyard wing without stopping for a moment.

As soon as he reached the East Courtyard, he heard the scattered voices of some disciples talking.

"Originally, I really wanted to meet that woman whose battle was so well-known, but I didn't expect she was a lunatic."

"That's right, she's always refused to see anyone. Before, someone went to deliver something to her to take care of her, but she kept yelling that she didn't want to see anyone. There was nothing we could do, so we just put the things in front of the door and left!"

"Yeah, and she kept yelling that she was a monster and didn't want anyone to see her. But from the sound of her voice, she should be a very beautiful woman. How did she become like this? I really don't understand."

Chen Han's brows furrowed as he heard this, his heart skipping a beat. Could they be talking about Chen Yue? How could this be possible? How could Chen Yue be associated with the word "madman"?

But he suddenly remembered Xiao Feng's unusual words just now. His evasive and hesitant manner clearly showed that he was deliberately hiding something. Combined with the discussions of these disciples, Chen Han was suddenly shocked. Oh no, something must have happened to Chen Yue!

Thinking of this, Chen Han couldn't help but quicken his pace, almost jogging towards the room where Chen Yue was.

Arriving at the door of the wing room, although the surroundings were very quiet, Chen Han's heart was particularly heavy, as if a huge rock was pressing down on him. He walked forward slowly, took a deep breath, and knocked gently three times. The knocks were particularly clear in the silent atmosphere.

At this moment, the originally charming figure in the room trembled violently, and then came Chen Yue's panicked and resisting voice: "Didn't I tell you? Don't come in, get out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Han felt a surge of energy coming out of the house, sealing the door tightly.

Chen Han quickly calmed himself down, trying to make his voice sound as gentle and smiling as usual, and said, "It's me, Chen Han."

At this moment, Chen Yue in the wing shuddered violently, as if deeply moved. She slowly raised her head, a flicker of surprise flashing across her face, but it was fleeting, quickly returning to a desolate and gloomy expression. Her eyes once again became empty and filled with deep fear.

Although there was a door between them, Chen Yue still turned her head and tried to make her voice sound calmer. "It's you, Chen Han. I...my injury hasn't healed yet. I don't look well right now. Please don't come in for now. I'm afraid to scare you."

There was silence outside the door for a few seconds, and then Chen Han's voice, filled with concern and persistence, came: "Chen Yue, I'm worried. After all, you helped me so much in the previous battle. I just want to see how you are doing now. Really, I'll just take a look and leave. I won't disturb you any further."

Chen Yue's voice suddenly became agitated, and with a bit of panic and determination, he shouted, "No! You'd better leave. I don't want you to disturb me now. Hurry and leave."

Chen Han's brows were furrowed, his eyes filled with confusion and worry. He said anxiously, "Chen Yue, I rescued you from such a dangerous situation before and nothing happened. What does this matter now?"

As he spoke, Chen Han knocked gently on the door again, trying to let Chen Yue feel his concern and anxiety. He really couldn't bear to watch Chen Yue shut himself up and endure unknown pain and fear alone.

"No matter what you say, you can't disturb me today, do you hear me?"

"If you have anything to say, you can tell me directly. I've actually heard what those people are saying outside...Chen Yue."

Chen Yue felt a tightness in her chest when she heard this, and she subconsciously covered her chest, as if those unbearable comments had turned into real sharp blades, stabbing straight into her heart.

But even so, her tone remained firm, with a hint of stubbornness and determination as she said, "Since you already know everything, why did you come to see me? You should just go. You already know the general idea, so don't pretend to care about me here. I don't need it!"

Chen Han shook his head outside the door and sighed heavily, "Why should I leave? If I simply wanted to laugh at you, I would have broken in and laughed at you, right? I respect you, but now, I think I'm more worried about you."

"After all, we've been through hard times together and supported each other. Now I'm thinking how much I would regret it if I hadn't saved you. I'm grateful for my kindness back then. How could I have looked at you differently?"

Chen Yue in the room trembled slightly when she heard Chen Han's words. She was silent for a long time before she said in a tearful voice:

"Chen Han, please stop asking. Please go. I... I really don't want you to see me like this. Others don't mind seeing me like this, but you're my only friend. I don't want to leave any bad impression on you. Even if I beg you..."

Chen Han's eyes were heavy. He couldn't bear to leave like this and watch Chen Yue struggle alone in pain. At that moment, he suddenly gathered his energy, and the energy wrapped around his hand like a substance, and then he touched his hand to the door.

"In that case, I'm sorry Chen Yue." Chen Han gritted his teeth and said in a low voice.

Chen Yue was stunned when she heard this. She had never expected Chen Han to do such a thing. The next second, there was a loud "bang" and the door exploded under the impact of Chen Han's energy, sending wood chips flying everywhere.

Chen Yue's eyes suddenly widened, filled with shock and panic. Her once lively pupils now revealed a deep sense of helplessness. She abruptly turned her head away, facing the door, hiding her face, as if this could ward off this sudden change and give her a sense of security.

She clasped her hands tightly against her chest, her body trembling slightly, like a frightened deer, huddled in the corner.

Chen Yue had indeed undergone some obvious changes at this time. Her figure was still as slender as before, but her hair, compared to her previous long, shiny black hair, had now turned black and white. The mottled hair color was particularly eye-catching in this slightly dim room.
