Chapter 134: Chapter 134 Recovery, Trouble Brewing (1)_1

"Why should I greet someone who dared to disturb my sleep and now expects me to say hello," muttered Situ Xin to herself, but she still obediently walked over to Old Master Situ.

However, before Situ Xin could even say hello, Old Deng’s eldest son hurriedly said to her, "Xiao Xin, no need for formalities. I’m here on behalf of the Deng Family to apologize to you. I’m sorry, our attitude towards you yesterday was not right, and we’ll definitely change that." The moment Old Deng’s eldest son called her Xiao Xin, she got goosebumps and quietly grumbled to herself, "When did we get so familiar?"

"No problem, your reaction yesterday was normal," Old Master Situ interjected before Situ Xin could speak. "Little Deng, what brings you here today?" The old ginger is indeed spicier.

"Yes, I’ve come to take Xiao Xin to see my father for his treatment," said Old Deng’s eldest son, without beating around the bush.

After hearing what Old Deng’s eldest son said, Old Master Situ didn’t say anything but turned to look at Situ Xin, waiting for her direction. "Oh, that matter," mused Situ Xin. She couldn’t avoid the remaining nine treatments; if she couldn’t escape them, she might as well get them over with quickly. She was not one to procrastinate. "Then let’s go."

"Huh, this isn’t the way to the Elders’ Recuperation Club," Situ Xin remarked, with a great memory. Having gone there yesterday, she had already etched the route into her mind.

"Yes, after the examination results came out this morning, my father requested to return home. You know, with my father’s status, although he’s not staying in the hospital, it’s not very convenient for him to live just anywhere," explained Old Deng’s eldest son before suddenly realizing, "What am I doing, explaining all this to a nine-year-old girl? Even if she has extraordinary medical skills, she wouldn’t understand these political matters."

"That’s true, with the current situation, it’s safer to stay at home," agreed Situ Xin, nodding. Situ Xin’s response petrified Old Deng’s eldest son once again; he didn’t expect her to respond, let alone seem to understand the implications of his words.

"Hehe, Little Deng, don’t mind it. Our baby here has spent so much time with us old masters, she understands these matters," Old Master Situ said, seeing the changing expressions on Old Deng’s eldest son’s face, feeling quite pleased inside while his expression was one of pride.

"Oh, really, hehe, Xiao Xin is quite impressive. Not only is her medical skill formidable, but she also understands the twists and turns of politics," said Old Deng’s eldest son inwardly muttering, "How does the Situ Family raise their children? She’s practically a little genius."

As they spoke, they arrived at their destination. The car had barely stopped when several people came out of the house; Situ Xin could tell at glance they were the same people from yesterday at the hospital who had looked at her with disdain.

However, now everyone was smiling. "Uncle Situ, Xiao Xin has arrived." "Come, come, come inside for a sit, have some tea." Their enthusiasm was worlds apart from yesterday’s, Situ Xin felt uncomfortable inside; she couldn’t help but lean closer to her grandfather.

Once in the living room, the men were somewhat restrained, but the women crowded around Situ Xin, asking this and that, with some even reaching out to touch Situ Xin’s face. They kept saying, "Wow, Xiao Xin, your skin is so nice and smooth."

If it wasn’t for the sake of Old Deng, Situ Xin would have exploded with anger long ago. In the end, she couldn’t stand it anymore, she stood up abruptly. "Wasn’t I brought here to treat Grandpa Deng?"

"Oh, right, we got so caught up talking with Xiao Xin that we forgot about that," Old Deng’s eldest son said, slapping his forehead and standing up. "Xiao Xin, come with me."

"Okay," Situ Xin replied, relieved to finally be away from the group of women.

Old Deng’s room was arranged on the ground floor due to his age. As Situ Xin followed Old Deng’s eldest son into the room, Old Lady Deng was feeding Old Deng. "Xiao Xin has arrived," Old Lady Deng greeted warmly, spotting Situ Xin as she entered; had she not been busy feeding Old Deng, she would have undoubtedly risen to embrace her.

"Xiao Xin has arrived, have you had lunch?" Old Deng inquired kindly, looking at Situ Xin.

"I’ve eaten. How are you feeling today, Grandpa Deng?" asked Situ Xin, smiling.

"Feeling good. All thanks to Xiao Xin," Old Deng signaled to Old Lady Deng that he was full.

"Good to hear. I’ll give you your second treatment in a while, so you can get better sooner," Situ Xin said.

Half an hour after Old Deng finished eating, Situ Xin took out her Seven-colored Divine Needle and began Old Deng’s second treatment. During the treatment, Situ Xin noticed that the Spiritual Energy she had left in Old Deng’s body last time was healing much faster than she had expected.

Not only that, but she also realized that the Spiritual Energy in her own body was denser than it was when she treated Old Deng yesterday, and her control over the Spiritual Energy seemed much more flexible than before. Situ Xin hadn’t expected that treating others could bring her such significant benefits.

When Situ Xin’s own Spiritual Energy was nearly depleted, she withdrew it and removed the Seven-Color Spirit Needles from Old Deng’s body. She took a deep breath, "Huff."

"Are you okay, Grandpa Deng?" Situ Xin asked with concern, looking at Old Master Deng on the bed, who was in so much pain his lips had turned white. Because this time, the treatment involved repairing severely damaged nerves, the pain was more intense than the previous time.

"I’m fine," Old Deng let go of the lips he was biting, and offering a comforting smile at Situ Xin’s worried expression.

Seeing Old Deng like this, Situ Xin sighed and ultimately felt compassion. She took out a small porcelain bottle from her bag, poured out an elixir, broke it in half, and put it into Old Deng’s mouth. "Grandpa Deng, this is a restorative medicine, it’s good for your health."

Situ Xin gave Old Deng only half because her stinginess wasn’t the issue, but rather Old Deng’s body couldn’t withstand the potency of an entire elixir.
