"Is the medicine all ready? Go and rinse him off."

Xiao Yi slowly raised his head, looking at everyone with a somewhat weary gesture, lifted his hand, brushed his forehead hair, and wiped the sweat off his face, he said to Qian Fuyu and the nearby nurses.

"Alright, alright... quickly, help the third brother in for a wash."

Qian Fuyu hurriedly woke up as if from a dream and told the nurses nearby, pointing at Qian Fuchen on the bed.

After watching them help Qian Fuchen into the bathroom, he finally let out a sigh of relief and finally remembered Xiao Yi beside him; he turned his head, with an awkward expression, and said to Xiao Yi, "Doctor Xiao, are you alright?"

"I’m fine."

Xiao Yi waved his hand, but the weariness on his face could still not be concealed.

"Doctor Xiao, would you like to rinse off as well?"

Mr. Ma carefully looked at Xiao Yi, saying with concern.

"No need, thank you, Mr. Ma, heh, I’ll just sit for a bit."

Xiao Yi shook his head, declining Mr. Ma’s kind offer, and found a chair to sit down and softly closed his eyes.

Seeing Xiao Yi’s expression, Mr. Ma and Elder Mr. Ma exchanged glances, and both seemed to gradually understand the words Xiao Yi had said earlier; it appeared that treating this illness was indeed extremely strenuous, even exhausting him to this extent.

Even when he treated Elder Mr. Ma, he had not shown such an expression.

Seeing that Xiao Yi had closed his eyes, they no longer spoke to avoid disturbing his rest.

Unexpectedly, this "Seven Needles" was so domineering, even more assertive than he had initially thought.

With his eyes closed, Xiao Yi slowly circulated the "Carefree True Scripture" mantra to recuperate the True Qi in his body, a wry smile involuntarily formed in his heart. He had thought that since his breakthrough, his cultivation power had advanced tremendously, with his current strength, performing the Seven Needles should have been easy, but it turned out not to be the case; the dominance of the Seven Needles was beyond his expectations.

Even with his current True Force, he felt an indescribable tiredness after the procedure.

It seemed that his previous performances of the Seven Needles had indeed severely exceeded his capabilities!

No wonder he felt incredibly exhausted every time after performing the acupuncture, as if all his energy had been drained!

After circulating his True Qi twice, Xiao Yi finally felt his energy restored and reopened his eyes, looking at Qian Fuyu in front, "Mr. Qian, could you bring me some paper and a pen, I’ll prescribe a formula for Mr. Qian."

"Okay, okay, thank you, Doctor Xiao."

Qian Fuyu quickly nodded his head in gratitude, then swiftly turned around, found the paper and pen, and passed them to Xiao Yi.

"Follow this prescription, restrain yourself for a week, I’ll come back after a week. Remember, do not eat greasy food, avoid raw and smelly food, no fried food, no spicy food, do not take any other medicines, and you must go to bed before ten at night. The specific method for the decoction is written on it, just let the professional Decoction Master here do it."

Xiao Yi took the paper and pen from Qian Fuyu and began writing rapidly; soon, an A4 sheet was densely filled. After finishing, he directly tore the paper off and passed it over, reminding him again.

"Alright, no problem, don’t worry, I’ll make sure to follow Doctor Xiao’s instructions precisely."

Qian Fuyu took the paper from Xiao Yi’s hand, carefully placing it safely, nodding repeatedly.

"Your life is your own, it’s up to you whether you follow these instructions or not."

Xiao Yi said softly, then stood up and said to Elder Mr. Ma and Mr. Ma nearby, "Elder Mr. Ma, Mr. Ma, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

"No more, truly, thank you for today, Doctor Xiao, I’ll see you out."

Mr. Ma looked at Xiao Yi’s expression and did not hold him back any longer, hastily speaking up.

"No need to be polite, Mr. Ma, if anything, I should be thanking you for giving me an opportunity to earn money, heh."

Xiao Yi smiled, then turned and walked towards the ward’s doorway.

Although Xiao Yi had repeatedly said there was no need to walk him out, both Qian Fuyu and Mr. Ma still insisted on accompanying him to the entrance of the hospital. They even offered to take Xiao Yi back to school multiple times, and they only reluctantly gave up when Xiao Yi said he wasn’t going back to school and had some other matters to attend to. They watched as he got into a taxi and then returned to the hospital.

"Mr. Ma, do you think this Xiao Yi can really cure my third brother?"

Looking at Xiao Yi departing and walking back to the ward, Qian Fuyu’s expression was somewhat uneasy as he asked Mr. Ma beside him.

"Rest assured, since he spoke so clearly and even set a price, he definitely wouldn’t aimlessly assert such claims."

Mr. Ma frowned, paused his steps, and had initially not wanted to entertain such questions. However, seeing Qian Fuyu’s uneasy expression and recalling how he had knelt in front of Xiao Yi earlier for his brother, his expression softened a bit as he spoke in a mild tone.

"I also think that since he has quoted a price, he must be confident, but..."

Qian Fuyu nodded, and hearing Mr. Ma’s words felt like he had received an answer to the confusion in his mind, bolstering his confidence. Yet, the thought that the cure would last only three years dismayed him again.

"Life and death are ordained by fate; wealth and honor are dictated by heaven. Don’t be too saddened. Being able to extend life by three years is surely a good thing. Who can be sure about what will happen in three years? The human body is the world’s most miraculous; maybe after three years, his illness will inexplicably heal by itself. Isn’t it true in this world that many who have been diagnosed with cancer and deemed terminally ill by doctors still miraculously recover?"

Mr. Ma looked at Qian Fuyu’s expression, aware of what he was thinking, and sighed softly. Thinking of Qian Fuchen’s condition, a trace of sorrow appeared in his eyes, but he was not a man driven by sentiment. Considering he was not particularly close to Qian Fuchen, he quickly recovered his composure, gently patted Qian Fuyu’s shoulder, and comforted him.

"Sigh... That’s true."

Although he knew Mr. Ma’s words were more comforting than certain, speaking of so-called miracles that might be one in a million, Qian Fuyu still felt a bit relieved, nodded, and managed a strained smile on his face.

"Don’t think too much about it, let’s go and see how your third brother is doing."

Mr. Ma patted Qian Fuyu’s shoulder again and took the lead, quickly walking towards the ward.

Hearing Mr. Ma’s words, Qian Fuyu hastily followed, walking towards the ward filled with boundless hope.

.........

Sitting in the taxi, after Xiao Yi reported the address of Azure Waterfront, he immediately closed his eyes to continue meditating, regulating his breath to recover the True Qi within his body.

Earlier in the hospital, after circulating his True Qi for two rounds, he had slightly restored some strength and energy, but he was still far from recovering the True Qi he had depleted during the previous administering of the Seven Needles.

Fortunately, after his recent breakthrough into the Condensation period, his strength had greatly increased. This time, there was no such peril as had occurred during the previous showing of the needles, and his recovery was much faster.

"Ring ring......"

Just as Xiao Yi had regulated his breathing a few rounds and recovered more than half of his True Qi, the ringing of his phone suddenly erupted from his pocket.

Xiao Yi quickly opened his eyes, temporarily halted his cultivation, and pulled out his phone to look at the caller ID.

"Shen Xiaoxiao."

Seeing the caller ID, Xiao Yi’s face showed a hint of surprise. Wasn’t she recently under the protection of a bodyguard around her villa? She should be able to directly communicate anything. Why would she suddenly call him?

However, he didn’t think too much about it. Regardless, since she had called, he was going to answer. He pressed the answer button, and a slight smile appeared on his face as he said, "Xiaoxiao sister, is there something wrong?"

"Xiao Yi, things are bad!"

As soon as Shen Xiaoxiao heard Xiao Yi’s voice, she immediately became frantic, revealing that this situation was even worse than she had imagined. Xiao Yi had told her about the incident that day, and she could imagine how furious the Liu Family must be. Yet, she had never expected the Liu Family’s fury to be so fierce, that even Old Master Liu had left Glass City and come to G City!

At the moment she heard the news, Shen Xiaoxiao’s face nearly turned white and her legs started to tremble. Being born in Glass City and living within those circles, even though she herself couldn’t cultivate, she knew what kind of entity Old Master Liu was. If he took action, not only the bodyguard she had arranged for Xiao Yi but even ten more such experts would be obliterated without a trace.

Almost instantly, her first instinct was to flee!

Tell Xiao Yi to escape!

"Xiaoxiao sister, what’s wrong?"

Hearing Shen Xiaoxiao’s utterly panic-stricken and even fearful voice, Xiao Yi’s expression momentarily stiffened, his face revealing a hint of confusion as he asked.

"Xiao Yi, don’t ask so many questions right now. Where are you? Ah, it doesn’t matter where you are, just run, quickly get out of G City, go as far as you can. Tell me your bank account number, I’ll wire some money into your account!"

Shen Xiaoxiao spoke in a frantic tone, her voice becoming increasingly panicked. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to qidian.com to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
