Insufficient balance

  As the door opened, a man of similar age and build to him was standing outside. He had an extraordinary air about him, and his attire was clearly not ordinary at first glance. Upon seeing him appear, the man subconsciously took a small step back, his face revealing a mix of excitement and tension.

  "Who are you?" Ling Chen asked, sizing him up. He had seen this person before... when he was returning with Shui Ruo, he had caught a glimpse of this person. Although Shui Ruo was only 16 years old now, she was already stunningly beautiful and would always be the center of attention wherever she went, so at that time, he hadn't paid much attention to it. But now, this man had inexplicably come looking for him.

  "Ling...Ling Chen, hello, ah...I know you're Ling Chen..." As soon as the words left his mouth, Yunfeng couldn't help but want to slap himself twice. He had interacted with countless big shots before, and even when facing the highest leader of Huaxia, he had never been nervous, but in front of this man who was about the same age as him, he was unexpectedly tongue-tied.

  Yun Feng suppressed the excitement in his heart at the fastest speed, and then said seriously: "You must not know me. This time I came is indeed very abrupt, but I really have something important to say. Right, let me introduce myself first, my name is Yun Feng, that... can I come in and talk to you?"

  Ling Chen stared into his eyes for a second before saying expressionlessly, "My house is full of Isoloka virus everywhere. Do you still want to go in?"

  "It's okay, I just got vaccinated last month." Yunfeng said hastily.

  "Everyone knows that the current Isloka virus vaccine is not perfect and cannot guarantee 100% safety... So, are you sure you still want to come in?"

  "Confirmed, confirmed and confirmed!" Yunfeng nodded without any hesitation.

  Ling Chen looked at him for a moment, remained silent for a few seconds, then turned around and walked back to the living room: "Come in."

  The sound of the wind was like a celestial music, and with a joyful heart, he walked in. Then, with a very light movement, he closed the door behind him. At the moment the door closed, he couldn't help but secretly smile at himself: It seems that I'm still too young, for when I see the person I admire most, my heart still beats faster and my behavior becomes uncontrollable.

  The living room was simply decorated, but exceptionally clean. Yunfeng's footsteps were careful and gentle, and when Lingchen sat down, he also sat down in front of him, first saying: "Let me introduce myself again, my name is Yunfeng, I am..."

  "What brings you here?" Ling Chen interrupted him rudely.

  Looking closely at Ling Chen, Cloud Wind's heart beat faster as he gazed into his eyes, and he became even more certain that this was the person. Because those were the most piercing eyes he had ever seen in his life, sharper than a knife edge. Under Ling Chen's expressionless gaze, Cloud Wind felt slightly suffocated, and after taking a deep breath, he said: "I've come to propose a deal with you... don't refuse me just yet, I'm sure you'll be very interested in this transaction."

  "Trade?" Ling Chen's eyebrows furrowed slightly. He had let this person in because he hadn't sensed any malice or danger from him. As for trade, he never easily made deals with people, because...

  "Right!" Yunfeng nodded, then began to say: "The day after tomorrow is the opening day of 'Divine Moon', you must know this matter, I think...". Yunfeng's voice became somewhat excited: "I want to invite you to join a game workshop... no, it's a game guild, it's just temporarily still quite small."

  "Not interested. I don't have time for that sort of thing, you can leave." Ling Chen rejected him without any hesitation, and even revealed a hint of impatience in his eyes. However, he was also slightly puzzled as to why this person would go out of their way to invite him to join a gaming guild.

  Is this a virtual game world...... Now my world only has Shui Rou, anything else, don't even think about taking away the time I spend with Shui Rou.

  "Wait... just wait, let me finish speaking! Cloud Wind hurriedly waved his hand and quickly calmed down, saying: "Since it's a transaction, I will of course offer you satisfactory conditions. I know your sister has been suffering from Isloca disease, and you've been running around trying to cure her all these years. There's something that should interest you." Cloud Wind's expression turned serious as he slowly spoke out a name: "13223 medicine!"

  Sigh...

  Ling Chen, who had been as calm as a still pond, was suddenly pricked like being stabbed by a needle. He abruptly stood up from the sofa and stared at Yun Feng with his eyes fixed on him: "You... repeat that!"

  Before, Ling Chen's affection for his sister was completely visible in his eyes. Now, the reaction is also entirely within his expectations. He stood up, staring straight into his eyes and said in a clear voice: "Medicine 13223! This is the transaction condition!"

  "That medicine, there are only 13 bottles in the whole world!"

  "No, that was the initial batch. 10 bottles have been used up and now there are only three left in the world. One of which is right here in my hand." Yun Feng's gaze was unwavering, allowing him to see clearly into his eyes without any hint of deception.

  "Who... are you?" It wasn't until now that Ling Chen started to truly size up this person. His body was slightly trembling, and his hands were shaking even more violently. There were very few things in this world that could thoroughly disturb his heartstrings, but the name "13223 medicine" was like a thunderbolt thrown into his heart. Because it was currently the most effective special medicine for treating Iseloka, and as long as patients with Iseloka took it, the Iseloka virus inside their bodies would fall asleep, and would sleep for a whole ten years. Within these ten years, the patient would no longer be affected by the Iseloka virus, their immune system and vitality would gradually recover, and their body would also gradually regain its health... until it relapsed again after ten years.

  But its significance is by no means just a ten-year extension of life. With the increasingly advanced medicine on Earth, it's highly possible that in ten years, a complete cure for the Isoloka virus will be found. At that time, even if infected again, it won't be so desperate and terrifying.

  There are only 13 bottles of this medicine in the world. The doctor who made this medicine was assassinated before he could make the 14th bottle, and the ingredients of the 13223 medicine also became a mystery. Few people know the name of this medicine, and Ling Chen is one of them. In all these years, he has never stopped searching for the 13223 medicine, but no matter how hard he tries, he has nothing to gain. After all, there are only thirteen bottles in the world.

  "Yun Feng... the first in line to inherit the Yun Corporation. I wonder if my identity qualifies me to get one of those 13223 medicine bottles." Yun Feng said seriously.

  Ling Chen: *silence*

  "At first, my family went through great difficulties to get that bottle of 13223 medicine, it was to save my grandfather who suddenly contracted Isloca. But when we finally got it, Grandpa had already passed away. My father, in his grief, casually handed it over to me... Now, it's in my hands. If you agree to my request, I will hand over that bottle of 13223 medicine to you very soon."

  "I agree!" Ling Chen, who had previously rejected Yunfeng's offer with a single word, now responded with an even more resolute tone. As long as he could save Shui Ruo, any effort was worth making and any price was bearable.

  Having obtained Ling Chen's consent, Yun Feng was so excited that he almost jumped up. He pressed his own excited chest and said: "Hehe, you can agree, it's really great, great... Uh, speaking of which, you must be wondering why I came to find you for this transaction?"

  Ling Chen nodded slightly, his surface calm, but his heart was deeply stirred... 13223 medicine, the thing he had been dreaming of, now it was actually delivered to his doorstep. But, such a precious thing, would its trading conditions really be simple?

  Yun Feng straightened his body, slightly raised his gaze, and the scenes that made him unforgettable appeared in front of him. He said slowly: "Three years ago, Yun Tang Mountain, you, me, Xia Wa."

  Ling Chen's eyes widened slightly, and then the scene he had deeply buried in his memory resurfaced in his mind. A deep astonishment appeared on his face: "You... are the reincarnation of the one who witnessed my battle with Xia Wa back then?"

  "Ah! Ah! It's me, it's really me!!" Seeing Ling Chen remember his name from back then, Yun Feng became thoroughly excited. "You don't know, although I didn't get to see who won or lost in the end, but after watching that battle, I couldn't sleep well for three whole days... That was truly an epic, legendary, and the most pinnacle of battles! I never could have imagined before then that our Huaxia country actually had someone who could fight with Ye Xiu for so long without falling behind. And even more fortunate was that your mask was knocked off by Ye Xiu, allowing me to see your face... Ah, but don't worry, although I've been trying to find you ever since, I absolutely haven't told anyone about you. Although I also mentioned to some friends before that our Huaxia had someone who could rival Ye Xiu... But they didn't believe a single word. If it wasn't for me being lucky enough to witness it with my own eyes back then, if others were telling me this, I probably wouldn't have believed it either."

  Ling Chen sat back on the sofa, a sigh in his heart. He finally understood why Yun Feng's gaze towards him was so fervent. Unexpectedly, three years ago in the "Tian Tu" world, that swordsman who climbed up Yun Tian Mountain and stumbled upon his battle with Eve, had recognized him three years later and even took the initiative to find him, presenting him with something he had been dreaming of.

  Is this the arrangement of fate? Is heaven taking back its cruelty and no longer letting him be separated from Shui Ru?

  "As long as you can bring me 13223 medicine, I will agree to your terms... However, you have to tell me first what exactly do you want me to do?" Ling Chen said.

  "Don't worry, you're the only person I've ever admired in my life. I absolutely won't use 13223 medicine to coerce you into doing something that goes against your conscience. Actually, I'm doing this for the same reason as you," Yunfeng sat back down in front of Lingchen and let out a faint sigh: "For the sake of our own sisters."
