After some time, Yae Rin gradually woke up from her coma, and at this moment she felt that her body had never been so energetic.

"Sister!!" Without time to think, Yae Rin hurriedly looked around and found Yae Sakura and another unfamiliar little girl lying on the bedding next to her bed, seemingly still fast asleep.

"Sister..." Yae Rin called softly, her voice trembling slightly. She slowly climbed out of bed, walked to Yae Sakura's bedside, and gently touched her cheek. Feeling her sister's even breathing, her heart calmed down a little.

"Yo! You're awake?" Just then, a voice came from outside the door. Yae Rin turned her head and saw Xiao Shi walking in with two plates of food in her hands. "You guys are really lucky. You get to eat Master Chen's cooking on your first meeting with him!"

Upon hearing this, Yae Rin's heart tightened, and she instinctively shielded Yae Sakura behind her, watching Xiao Shi warily. "Who are you? And who is Master Chen?"

"Don't be afraid, we're not bad people." Seeing this, Xiao Shi quickly put down the vegetables in her hand, straightened her chest, and said proudly, "It was Master Chen who saved your health."

Upon hearing this, Yae Rin felt her body was completely different from before, and her guard immediately lowered. After all, no matter what, her body was indeed fully recovered, just as Xiao Shi had said.

"Rin?" Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, Yae Sakura woke up behind them. Looking at Rin standing in front of her, her previously dazed mind instantly cleared. "Your body..."

"Sister!" Hearing the voice behind her, Yae Rin forgot all about Xiao Shi and turned around to rush into Yae Sakura's arms. "Thank goodness, you're alright, I was so scared..."

"What's going on here?" Yae Sakura gently patted Yae Rin's back, her gaze sweeping around the room before finally settling on Xiao Shi at the door. "Who are you? Why are you here?"

"Who I am is not important, what matters is Master Chen." Xiao Shi picked up the food again, walked to Yae Sakura, and put the food down. "Eat up, this was specially made by Master Chen."

"Dust Master?" Yae Sakura frowned. The name sounded familiar, but she couldn't quite place where she'd seen it before; her memory was hazy. "Where is he now?"

"He's gone to prepare the meal and will be back soon." Xiao Shi pointed to the door, her tone tinged with pride. "Master Chen's cooking is excellent; you'll all love it."

Yae Sakura and Yae Rin looked at each other, both seeing a hint of confusion in each other's eyes, but being children, they quickly accepted reality.

"Alright, you guys stay here for now. I'm going to prepare some food for Master Chen. Honestly, such a big shrine like yours doesn't even have a decent meal..."

Xiao Shi grumbled as she left the room, leaving Yae Sakura and Yae Rin inside. The room was quiet except for the rustling of leaves in the breeze outside the window.

Yae Sakura looked at Yae Rin, her eyes filled with tenderness. She gently stroked Rin's hair and whispered, "Rin, what happened when you woke up?"

“I don’t remember very clearly either…” Yae Rin shook her head, gripping Yae Sakura’s hand tightly, a hint of fear in her eyes. “I only remember that when I was waiting for my sister to come home, that girl carried my sister and another unconscious girl in.”

At this point, Yae Rin hugged Yae Sakura tightly and began to sob, "I was so scared at first, I thought you were dead, sister... but thankfully, thankfully you're still alive..."

"Why are you crying? It's not good for a little girl to cry all the time~" Before Yae Sakura could comfort Yae Rin, Xiao Shi came in with two more dishes.

“They’re just kids after all.” But this time was different. Chen Yuan also came over, gently patted Xiao Shi’s head, and focused his gaze on Yae Sakura and the other girl. “Alright, it’s time to eat. You must be starving…”

"You are Master Chen?" Yae Sakura raised her head, her eyes filled with wariness as she stared intently at Chen Yuan before her. For some reason, the moment she saw him, a deep sense of fear began to spread from the bottom of her heart.

"You don't need to call me Master Chen. My name is Chen Yuan. You can call me brother or just my name."

“Mr. Chenyuan…” Although Chenyuan’s voice was gentle, Yae Sakura still felt an indescribable sense of oppression. She instinctively shielded Yae Rin behind her. “My name is Yae Sakura, and this is my younger sister, Yae Rin.”

“Chen… Brother Chenyuan…” Unlike Yae Sakura, Yae Rin felt a surge of warmth upon seeing Chenyuan. Their first meeting was mainly due to Chenyuan’s sudden growth into a large adult, which had a significant psychological impact on the little girl.

"Don't be nervous. Xiao Shi and I have no ill intentions towards you. We are just doctors traveling the world and happened to be passing by this treasure land."

Chen Yuan coughed twice, continuing his lie without blushing. "When I passed by this sacred place, I saw you and another girl lying on an altar. Out of a doctor's compassion, I couldn't just stand by and do nothing."

“It just so happens that my apprentice, Xiaoshi, knows what Ms. Yae Sakura is wearing, which is why he brought you and another girl to the shrine on the mountaintop.”

Yae Sakura and Yae Rin listened quietly, while Xiao Shi was completely stunned. Chen Yuan's ability to speak so eloquently truly broadened her horizons, especially considering his handsome face, which doubled his credibility!

Didn't you see how Yae Sakura completely abandoned her hostility and looked at Chen Yuan with adoration after just a few words? Although she had her own reasons for it, there's no denying that Chen Yuan is really good at persuading people.

Having once again experienced the destructive power of Chen Yuan, Xiao Shi felt that the title of Herrscher of Knowledge seemed more suitable for Chen Yuan.

"So, Mr. Chenyuan should be able to cure my younger sister's illness." Yae Sakura took Yae Rin's hand and walked to Chenyuan. "Mr. Chenyuan, Yae Rin has been frail and sickly since childhood, you see..."

"Miss Yae Sakura need not trouble herself. I already know about Miss Yae Rin's condition and she has already undergone the first round of treatment. However, her body is too weak, so she still needs a few more courses of treatment."

Chen Yuan wasn't lying about this at all; Yae Rin's health wasn't a big deal, and Chen Yuan could heal her directly if he wanted to. But Yae Rin was too young, and Chen Yuan was afraid that if he exerted too much force, he might make her mentally impaired.

“Then…then thank you so much, Mr. Chenyuan.” Tears welled up in Yae Sakura’s eyes as she tightly grasped Yae Rin’s hand, as if afraid of losing her. “If we could, we would do anything for you.”

Two symbiotic entities reached out from his hands to help Yae Sakura and Yae Rin to their feet. Chen Yuan smiled. "There's no need for that. A healer's duty is to treat the sick and save lives. I will do my best to help you."

"Ahem, let's eat, or it'll get cold." Seeing that Chen Yuan was getting more and more excited, Xiao Shi coughed twice and interrupted the conversation.

"That's true." Chen Yuan nodded, gesturing for everyone to sit down. Seeing this, Xiao Shi placed the food in the middle of the group, then happily sat down next to Chen Yuan. "Hehe, this is my first time eating Master Chen's cooking!"

"Delicious!!!" Xiao Shi picked up a piece of food, put it in her mouth, chewed it carefully, and swallowed. Her eyes lit up. "Don't just look, everyone eat together!!!"

Seeing Xiao Shi's expression, Yae Sakura and Yae Rin also started eating. It must be said that Chen Yuan's cooking skills were quite good, and the group praised the food highly.

After the meal, Chen Yuan let Yae Rin rest in her room, and then went to the middle of the courtyard with Yae Sakura and Xiao Shi. "The treatment will take some more time, but Miss Yae Sakura, please rest assured, Yae Rin's health is fine."

After hearing this, Yae Sakura nodded and bowed deeply to Chen Yuan. "Thank you, Mr. Chen Yuan. I... I really don't know how to express my gratitude."

"You're welcome, it's my duty. However, Miss Yae Sakura, there are some things I'd like to discuss with you."

Yae Sakura was taken aback, a sense of unease rising within her, but she forced herself to remain calm and nodded. "Okay, please tell me. If it's possible, I will definitely agree."

Chen Yuan looked at Xiao Shi, gesturing for her to leave for the time being. Xiao Shi understood, stood up, and said softly, "You two chat, I'll go for a walk." After saying that, she left the courtyard.

"Yae Rin's constitution is very weak. Even if I heal her here, one day, something will happen that will cause her body to have an accident again."

Without batting an eye, Chen Yuan began his deception again. Seeing that Yae Sakura's expression was starting to tense up, he coughed twice and continued.

"Miss Yae Sakura may not know that the disease Yae Rin suffers from is called 'possession of demons' in China and 'Honkai' in other countries. It is a very troublesome condition."

"It's alright now, I can cure it, but in the future... I'm afraid even I won't be able to help..."

At this point, Chen Yuan sighed dramatically, and Yae Sakura's face instantly turned pale. She glanced at Yae Sakura, who was resting in the room, and knelt down in front of Chen Yuan with a 'thud'.

"Please, Mr. Chenyuan, find a way to save Rin! I'm willing to give anything for her, even be her slave!!"

'It's all settled!' Chen Yuan thought to himself, overjoyed, but outwardly remained calm as always. 'Miss Yae Sakura, there's no need to be like this. Since I said I would see it through to the end, there's no need to worry.'

"Have you ever heard of someone, the guardian of China, the Crimson Iris Immortal?"
