Chapter 117: 117 joined forces, successfully rescued! [1 more update]

Being selected for the Su Family Elder Group didn’t depend on age or gender, only on merit and strength, and then these criteria were used for ranking.

If a successor’s abilities were higher than those of the Elder Group, then, after a competition and a family council discussion, they would immediately replace the previous elder.

The current Great Elder and Second Elder were both over eighty years old, while Su Yingxia was still one year short of fifty, which showed her medical skills were indeed profound.

"It’s really a bother so late at night, Sister Yingxia," Ye Wanlan’s fatigue in her eyes dissipated somewhat as she nodded gently, "If there’s anything you need help with later on, I’ll make sure it’s done."

"That’s very kind of you, Ah Lan," Su Yingxia shook her head slightly, smiling, "You’re a friend of Little Yu; of course, I’ll help you all the way. I’ll accompany you for the surgery."

She didn’t ask Ye Wanlan why she knew medical techniques; her sixth sense told her that there was much more to this young lady that was not apparent to the eye.

"Alright," Ye Wanlan turned to the director, "Don’t let anyone come near the fourth floor, wait until Sister Yingxia and I finish the surgery."

"Sure thing," said the director.

He always felt that the seniority seemed a bit strange, but couldn’t pinpoint what was weird about it.

After changing into surgical attire, Ye Wanlan and Su Yingxia entered the operating room.

Ye Wanlan first took out the two medicinal plants she had acquired and began processing them to extract their essence.

"Jasperry and Mountain Spirit Liquid?" Su Yingxia was surprised, "Ah Lan, how did you come by..."

These two herbs sounded ethereal but were actually deadly poisons that even she didn’t dare touch lightly.

Because if mishandled even slightly during the process, one could instantly succumb to the poison and die, let alone using the medicine on a patient.

Su Yingxia watched Ye Wanlan’s movements and instantly understood: "I see, using poison to combat poison, these two combined could actually become a potent medicine that could heal the patient’s legs."

"Yes," Ye Wanlan watched the reagent bottle intently, "Fortunately, it’s still within twelve hours, otherwise, even these two medicines wouldn’t be able to bring them back."

Indeed, the Taiyi Divine Doctor was known in Jianghu as an existence that could vie with heaven for a life, even if someone was one step into the realm of death, but every ailment had its golden period for rescue.

"Yes..." Su Yingxia sighed softly, "Three hundred years ago, our ancestor was just ten seconds late and couldn’t save Marshal Huo’s life; otherwise, we might have had a chance to turn defeat into victory."

Ye Wanlan looked up: "Ancestor?"

"The last Palace Master of Taiyi Palace, Shui Yunqing," Su Yingxia explained, thinking she was unaware of Taiyi Palace and Su Family history, "Back then, she led Taiyi Medical Practitioners to save the Divine Strategy Military on the battlefield, but unfortunately, it was still too late."

Among the Six Great Sects, the Divine Strategy Military was the only Jianghu force that received strong support from the Imperial Court.

Because the founder of the Divine Strategy Military was a Marshal who had helped Great Ancestor Ning conquer the realm; the initial purpose of establishing the Divine Strategy Military was still to defend Shenzhou.

The Divine Strategy Military was like a dragon emerging with a spear; the heavens and earth shook.

Three hundred years ago, when the enemy invaded, the Divine Strategy Military, being on the front line, became the first Sect to be completely annihilated, without leaving any heritage whatsoever.

Compared to Taiyi Palace and Great Purity Sect, which still had descendants, the Divine Strategy Spear Technique was thoroughly lost.

Ye Wanlan kept silent and didn’t speak. After extracting the essence of the Mountain Spirit Liquid and jasperry, she dipped a Silver Needle in the essence and began to perform acupuncture on Lin Woyu.

She inserted a needle and said to Su Yingxia, "Sister Yingxia, could you please follow my treatment for the left leg?"

Su Yingxia was fully focused, inserting a Silver Needle into an acupoint on Lin Woyu’s left leg.

The atmosphere in the operating room solidified until the last Golden Needle fell.

"Whoosh!"

The meridians were instantly cleared, and the congested blood started to dissipate gradually.

With this, Lin Woyu only needed to rest in bed for some time, and the bones would also heal.

"I never thought there would be such a method to treat legs," Su Yingxia murmured, "In my career, I’ve never seen it before."

Although the Su Family lost the latter seven parts of the Taiyi Divine Needle, that didn’t mean they would just live on their old achievements.

Over the past three hundred years, several bright disciples had still invented new methods of treatment.

"The next step requires us to work together to wake up the patient," Ye Wanlan wiped the sweat off her forehead and let out a breath, "I’ll insert the next needle, and then Sister Yingxia, you’ll follow."

"Okay, no problem." Although she said this, Su Yingxia felt nervous for a rare occasion.

After disinfecting the Silver Needle again, Ye Wanlan slowly inserted it into an acupoint on Lin Woyu’s shoulder, and then she told Su Yingxia the location of the next point.

Still, sweat beaded on both their foreheads, clearly running low on energy.

Moreover, Ye Wanlan had regained control of her body for less than two months, and her physical strength wasn’t enough to complete the surgery on her own.

"Ah Lan!" Su Yingxia quickly supported her, and as her hands felt her pulse, her expression changed, "You should take care of yourself first!"

So young, yet so frail.

"I’m fine, just a bit tired," Ye Wanlan’s smile was faint, "There are eighteen more needles; we can’t stop now."

She steadied her mind and inserted the needle once more.

This time, before Ye Wanlan could indicate the next location, Su Yingxia already precisely inserted the next needle right after Ye Wanlan: "It should be here."

Ye Wanlan’s expression relaxed a bit: "That’s right, impressive, Sister Yingxia."

After all, Su Yingxia was an old hand of the Su Family, obviously her skill was above that of Shen Que, the National Medical Sage.

After the previous round of needle insertion, without needing Ye Wanlan to say, Su Yingxia had already figured out the location of the next several needles.

After all, those truly skilled in the Su Family’s medical arts would never appear in any public event to prevent targeting by those with ulterior motives.

It was still last century when two core members of the Su Family traveled far to the Global Center but were murdered on the way back.

That plane plunged into the ocean, and the wreckage could not be salvaged to this day.

And those two core members, at the time, were just in their early twenties.

After that, the Su Family became much more cautious.

When the last needle was also in place, Su Yingxia looked at the several gold and silver needles on Lin Woyu’s body and frowned tightly.

Suddenly, she blurted out, "Is it also the Taiyi Divine Needle?!"

If it wasn’t the first three parts that she had already mastered, then it could only be one of the next few parts!

Su Yingxia immediately recalled something she had once read in a book—

"The Fifth Part of the Taiyi Divine Needle uses silver needles to enter the body, with gold needles as a supplement, to activate the consciousness of the ’Wooden Stiff’ and hasten their awakening."

Su Yingxia felt a jolt in her heart.

This was the fifth part of the Taiyi Divine Needle!

Su Xueqing didn’t know, and the younger generation of the Su Family didn’t know either, that over the years, the Su Family had already figured out the fourth part of the Taiyi Divine Needle and had written a good half of the fifth part.

But the "method for awakening the Wooden Stiff" recorded in the ancient books was something the Su Family still had no solution for.

But now, not only did Su Yingxia witness it, but she also participated in this treatment!

As the wife of Rong Jingqiu, she, of course, knew of that prophecy from the Rong Family.

Could it be... Ye Wanlan was the one to break the predicament?

"Ah Lan, rest assured, I won’t tell anyone about today’s event," Su Yingxia said slowly, "not even Rong Jingqiu or Rong Yu."

She knew the gravity of the situation and that walls have ears.

Now, there was only one thought in Su Yingxia’s mind—

To protect Ye Wanlan firmly, no one should touch her sworn sister!

The hospital director had been anxiously waiting outside the operating room, and it wasn’t until two hours later, when daylight had fully arrived, that the operating room lights finally went off.

The door opened, and Su Yingxia supported Ye Wanlan out.

The director hurried forward, "Miss Ye, the resting room is ready for you, please go and rest."

"I’m okay," Ye Wanlan said with a slight smile, "I need to eat something first, is there food available?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" the director nodded repeatedly, "Please come this way, Miss Ye."

"Miss Ye."

"Student Ye!"

Likewise waiting outside, Yan Tingfeng and Rong Yu stood up together.

Seeing the girl’s pale complexion, Yan Tingfeng’s gaze tightened slightly, and he stepped forward to support her hand.

Her hand was also cold, lacking its previous warmth.

Rong Yu, however, was stunned in place, "Mom?!"

His dad coming was one thing, but his mom too?

Damn it, he wasn’t about to suffer a painful mixed beating in a different place too, was he?

Su Yingxia looked at him, "Why aren’t you sleeping at this hour, what are you doing?"

Without thinking, Rong Yu said, "As soon as I heard that Student Ye’s family had an emergency, I immediately rushed over."

As soon as he said it, he clapped his hand over his mouth, anxiety mounting—was his mom going to beat him up on the spot for wandering out in the middle of the night?

"You do have a conscience," Su Yingxia said instead, "My child is finally growing up, mother is gratified."

Rong Yu: "???"

Something was off with the turn of events!

Yan Tingfeng took out a box of pastries first and watched Ye Wanlan eat, "Feeling better now?"

"A little, but I’m still hungry."

"Mhm, I’ll accompany you to eat some more, and after that, you should get some good sleep."

Yan Tingfeng looked up and saw a damp strand of hair on her forehead; he instinctively reached out to brush it aside.

The next second, he quickly withdrew his hand, "I apologize."

Ye Wanlan didn’t mind it much, "Let’s go."

Ye Wanlan took a full hour to eat her fill and finally replenished her energy.

"Ah Lan!" Lin Huaijin had just received the news and hurried over, "You really scared me to death!"

Ye Wanlan looked up, "Uncle, it’s alright. In a few hours, Auntie will be awake."

"I’m worried about you too! Look at you, staying out all night," Lin Huaijin was panting, "Mom, you should rest as well, I’ll stay with Woyu."

Lin Weilan was indeed tired; she waved her hand and hadn’t said anything when she received a call from an unfamiliar number.

"Mom, it’s me, Bai Jingxue."

Lin Weilan’s expression turned cold, "What is it?"

"Not to say too much, Old Madam, but I am already in Jiangcheng, and I’m here for Lin Yue and Lin Qin’s custody," Bai Jingxue said with a slight smile. "Since their mother has become a vegetative person, she shouldn’t hold back the children’s future, right?"

The entire Lin Family was only fearful of Lin Woyu, but could Lin Woyu even wake up?

She could not.
