Chapter 1120: Chapter 1147: Back from the Dead 6

The crowd that had gathered to watch the drama weren’t willing to leave, standing off to the side and chattering away.

Nianyang crouched down, looked at the little young master in front of her, and gave him a sweet smile. "Thank you, little friend, you’ve helped your big sister a lot."

"I’m not a little friend, I’m already a grown-up who goes to preschool."

The little young master corrected her, holding Nianyang’s hand and saying in a crisp, clear voice, "I still remember, last time you saved me. You’re my benefactor, big sister. My name is Jian Chengguang, you can call me Chenguang. This is an honor only my family has—now I’m giving it to you."

Obviously he was just a little brat, yet he was talking so solemnly and with that chuunibyou flair—it was unbearably cute.

"Alright, little Chengguang." Nianyang rubbed his watermelon haircut, finding him more and more adorable. "Are you part of this family? Who are your relatives at home?"

This little boy looked a bit like Shi Nuan. Maybe he was from Shi Nuan’s side of the family?

Jian Chengguang was just about to answer when a gentle but anxious call came from over there: "Chenchen, my Chenchen, where did you go?"

"Mom." Jian Chengguang’s bright eyes turned, he let go of Nianyang’s pant leg and spun around, throwing himself into the arms of a richly and elegantly dressed woman.

Nianyang followed his movement with her gaze. Beside the woman stood a couple, and behind them were two youthful, pretty girls. Without needing to ask, this had to be the master of the Ouyang Family and his wife, along with their two daughters.

Nianyang also saw that following behind them were Ming Yue from Divine Doctor Hall, and the second elder who had withdrawn from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Family.

The fact that these two were here made Nianyang feel a little strange, though she kept her expression neutral.

Zhang Mingyue and that second elder—oh no, he was no longer the second elder.

His surname was Hu, so let’s call him Elder Hu. They had both served the old madam as her doctors, and had come today to pay their respects. Seeing Nianyang approach, both of them felt a bit uneasy, especially Elder Hu, who had been the one treating the old madam for an entire month toward the end.

His guilty conscience flared even more. Had Nianyang noticed something?

"Mom, I found my benefactor." Jian Chengguang’s tender voice rang out. One arm was wrapped around his mother’s, and with the other he pointed at Nianyang.

"It’s this big sister. She was the one who saved me last time. We need to thank her."

"Alright, alright." The woman held Jian Chengguang with indulgent affection. Her gaze fell on Nianyang, gratitude plain on her face. "Thank you, miss."

There were too many people and too much gossip around, not a good place to talk about those matters, so the woman kept it brief.

Nianyang understood, gave a slight nod and let it pass. Ouyang Madam’s hoarse voice sounded, "Didn’t they say someone from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Family was coming?"

Nianyang stepped forward. "You must be Madam Ouyang. Hello, I’m Chu Nianyang, Sect Leader of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Family. When I heard what happened to the old madam, I came to take a look."

Zhang Mingyue’s eyelid twitched. How had this brat become the Sect Leader of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Family? Had Elder Wen gone mad?

He’d actually handed such a large Traditional Chinese Medicine Family over to Chu Nianyang, this greenhorn brat!

After Elder Wen passed away, a change of Sect Leader in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Family was a must. Everyone on the outside had assumed the position would go to the highly respected Grand Elder.

No one expected it to be such a young girl.

For a moment, there was a collective sigh.

The old lady of the Ouyang Family had just died. To them, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Family was the murderer who had harmed their loved one.

Upon hearing Nianyang’s identity, the expressions on everyone’s faces turned particularly ugly.
