Chapter 51: Perfection
Nan Yun and Nan Zhen quickly stepped to either side of Nan Yu, carefully supporting his arms.
Having just completed the purification, Nan Yu immediately felt dizzy and lightheaded.
He had consumed a bit too much mental power, but it didn't matter. As long as he hadn't overdrawn it, there wouldn't be any problems.
“I'm fine. I just used up a little too much. I'll be alright after resting for a while.”
Nan Yun helped him over to a chair.
“Rest first. No need to rush out.”
Nan Yu narrowed his eyes and leaned back in the chair. In his hand was the Nianshen Grass. He slowly poured the little mental power he had left into it, and the Nianshen Grass returned even purer mental power back to him.
In this situation, cultivating together with the Nianshen Grass was actually the best choice.
After exhausting a large amount of mental power, very little remained inside him. The mental power returned by the Nianshen Grass was purer than before, so when he recovered to his peak state again, the purity of his mental power would be at its current level.
Rather than reverting to the previous level.
This was how his mental power gradually improved little by little.
The Nianshen Grass was the greatest aid for increasing efficiency.
At this moment, standing off to the side, how could Nan Yun and Nan Zhen still not understand?
What their little brother held in his hand was the legendary Nianshen Grass that all Mental Power Users dreamed of obtaining!
Who knew when he had gotten it? He had hidden it for so long.
It had probably been acquired before he went to the military to carry out his mission.
They simply weren't strong enough.
They weren't working hard enough.
Otherwise, why would Little Brother not tell them about something so important?
In truth, they understood what Nan Yu was thinking.
The two exchanged glances and saw the same determination in each other's eyes.
From now on, they had to become strong enough to be a source of support that would leave their little brother with no worries whatsoever.
Otherwise, they would truly have failed as older brothers.
After recovering for about ten minutes, the dizziness had completely disappeared.
Although his mental power had only partially recovered, this wasn't a suitable place to recuperate.
Home was the safest place.
Slowly standing up, Nan Yu put the Nianshen Grass away into his space button.
Just as he was about to speak, a faint and painful groan came from Zhou Kunyao on the bed.
Naturally, it hurt.
Nan Yu hadn't completely dispelled his mental contamination.
He had only reduced the contamination that had been one step away from S-rank down to B-rank.
Having his consciousness restored and being able to think and live like a normal person was enough.
“Big Brother, Second Brother, let's go out. It's time. His mental contamination should be around B-rank now. They can handle the rest themselves.”
Nan Yun naturally had no objections.
“Alright. Then let's head home first.”
Just as they opened the door, Zhou Yunmei had only just sat down after being comforted by the butler.
The moment she saw the door open, she shot to her feet.
Suppressing her emotions with all her strength, she quickly walked over.
Her voice trembled with excitement.
“He directly called Nan Yu Master—”
Nan Yu frowned slightly and interrupted immediately.
“You absolutely must not address me like that. I'm only a Mid-Tier Mental Power User. The title of Master belongs only to High-Tier Mental Power Users. Don't make such an obvious mistake again.”
Zhou Yunmei froze.
Then she realized her mistake.
“My apologies. That was my mistake. But I promise no one will spread it, and even if someone does, I can testify that it was my own error.”
Nan Yu nodded.
“As for Zhou Kunyao's mental contamination, I've already dispelled most of it. There should only be B-rank contamination left now. I believe you can handle the remaining treatment yourselves, so I won't interfere any further.”
He had really done it!
In Zhou Yunmei's eyes, B-rank mental contamination wasn't a problem at all.
She could simply spend some money and hire an ordinary Mid-Tier Mental Power User to finish the job.
“Of course! Of course! For me, that's just a minor problem. Thank you so much! Truly, thank you so much!”
Considering Zhou Yunmei's age, she could easily be Nan Yu's grandmother.
But this world worked that way.
People with ability were respected regardless of age.
Nan Yu no longer refused her respectful tone.
“Alright. My own consumption was pretty high, so we'll head back for today. We can talk again when there's another opportunity.”
At the moment, Zhou Yunmei's heart was entirely occupied by thoughts of her son.
Naturally, she agreed enthusiastically.
She repeatedly promised that she would properly repay him.
Gritting her teeth, she restrained herself from immediately entering the room to see her son and instead left the butler behind while personally escorting the three of them out.
Nan Yu nodded inwardly.
This Zhou Yunmei truly handled every interpersonal relationship perfectly.
By the time the three of them returned to the aircraft, Nan Yu had only leaned back in his reclining seat for a short while before falling asleep.
Nan Yun and Nan Zhen exchanged smiles and made sure not to disturb him.
Only after watching their aircraft disappear beyond the gates of her estate did Zhou Yunmei eagerly turn around and run back into the house.
She rushed into the room as quickly as possible.
“Son... A'Yao, are you alright? Are you awake? Do you recognize me?”
The young man lying on the bed weakly opened his eyes. His face was pale, and his brows were tightly furrowed.
“Mom...”
The moment Zhou Yunmei heard that single word, tears streamed down her face.
No matter how she wiped them away, they kept flowing.
After wiping away the previous tears, new ones immediately followed.
“Son...”
Perhaps it was also Zhou Kunyao's first time seeing his strong, capable, elite mother cry like this.
He became somewhat flustered and didn't know what to say.
It was also the first time he realized that his mother was a woman too.
She needed the protection of her son.
In truth, he had regretted it long ago...
He had regretted it immediately after leaving home in anger.
It was only because of his pride and so-called dignity that he had stubbornly held on.
But now, thinking about it—
What were pride and dignity compared to family?
Especially compared to a mother who genuinely loved him.
“Don't cry...”
When Zhou Yunmei heard that, she cried even harder.
But the words she spoke were completely different from before.
“How could you be so stupid and useless? Weren't you pretty capable when you were arguing with me? Why is it that when you go outside, people treat you like an idiot and fool you, and you don't even realize it? If I'd known your IQ was only this much, I never would have let you leave the house...”
Zhou Kunyao painfully closed his eyes and stopped looking at her.
He wondered whether it was too late to take back his previous thoughts.
Despite her scolding, Zhou Yunmei quickly instructed the butler to hire another Mid-Tier Mental Power User.
At the same time, she spread the news—
Her son had successfully recovered!
The condition of Zhou Yunmei's son wasn't exactly known by everyone on the Capital Star, but anyone who should know about it knew.
Especially those families with members in similar situations.
They knew very well just how miraculous this recovery truly was.
