Chapter 135: Chapter 135 Recovery, Trouble Brewing (2)_1

When Situ Xin left Old Deng’s room, all of Old Deng’s children were standing at the door, looking at Situ Xin anxiously: "Xiao Xin, how is my dad doing?"

"Grandpa Deng is recovering very well. He might not even need me to treat him eight times for him to get better," Situ Xin said.

"So you’re saying that after a few more treatments, my dad will be completely cured?" A middle-aged woman, who looked very much like Old Deng, said excitedly.

"Yes," Situ Xin replied succinctly.

From that day on, every day, Old Deng’s eldest son would come to pick up Situ Xin to treat Old Deng. And Situ Xin also took this opportunity to ask her mom, Loo Yaxin, to ask for a half-month’s leave from school. This should be considered the reward for treating Old Deng, I guess.

When Situ Xin’s mom agreed to ask for a half-month leave from school for her, she started planning in her heart what she would do with the remaining time after treating Old Deng. And the result was to go back to sleep and have a good long sleep.

And on the fourth day after going to treat Old Deng, when Situ Xin heard about going to Old Deng’s home, she felt a bit apprehensive because this group of people was just too enthusiastic. Each of them would hold onto her and had endless things to say, which really made Situ Xin feel a bit scared.

However, luckily, today was the last day of treatment for Old Deng, which made Situ Xin breathe a sigh of relief, "Phew, finally I don’t have to see this family anymore." But things don’t always turn out as planned.

After Situ Xin finished applying needles to Old Deng and gave him an elixir, she took his pulse and said, "Grandpa Deng, your illness is now completely cured. Later I’ll prescribe a few nourishing dietary recipes for you, and with some further conditioning, you will be fine."

"Xiao Xin, thank you," Old Deng said gratefully after swallowing the elixir, looking at Situ Xin’s slightly pale face. Today, while treating Old Deng, at the end, when Situ Xin felt that her Spiritual Energy was almost exhausted, there was still a bit of nerve in Old Deng’s body that hadn’t fully recovered, and Situ Xin didn’t want to leave this for next time—how troublesome that would be. So she gritted her teeth, mobilized the last bit of Spiritual Energy in her body, and repaired the nerves in Old Deng’s body completely.

"It’s okay. Grandpa Deng, all you have to do is do more for the people," Situ Xin said while tidying up her Seven-Color Spirit Needles. "Grandpa Deng, shall I call your family in? They are all very worried about your health." With Old Deng’s consent, Situ Xin called the Deng Family members inside.

"Xiao Xin, how is my dad doing?" They couldn’t help asking as soon as they entered.

"Grandpa Deng’s health is fully restored," Situ Xin announced, and the faces of the Deng Family members all showed expressions of joy. Old Lady Deng even cried with happiness, thanking Situ Xin profusely while holding her hand.

At that moment, Old Deng spoke up, "Since you all are here, I’ll tell you about my decision. I want Xiao Xin to be my goddaughter." Then, Old Deng turned to Situ Xin with a loving look and asked, "Xiao Xin, would you be willing to recognize me as your godfather?"

Situ Xin never expected Old Deng to suddenly pull this move; it was quite beyond her expectations. She looked up at Old Deng, then at the smiling faces of the Deng Family around her, and the refusal she intended to voice was stuck in her throat, unable to come out.

"Is Xiao Xin scared?" someone asked as Situ Xin was struggling.

Upon hearing this, Situ Xin cursed inwardly, "Which eye of yours saw that I was scared? I just can’t bring myself to say no."

"So Xiao Xin was indeed scared; it’s okay, don’t be afraid. Xiao Xin, would you like to be Grandma Deng’s god-granddaughter?" Grandma Deng asked, holding Situ Xin’s hand tenderly. And at that moment, how could Situ Xin possibly say "no"?

In the end, while Situ Xin remained silent, the decision of recognizing god-relatives was made. And since recognizing god-relatives is a big event, Old Deng and the others still had to discuss it with Situ Xin’s family.

But there was no need to say anything, accepting Old Deng as a godfather was something Situ Xin’s family wouldn’t be foolish enough to refuse. Such a great benefit—how could they not accept it? And they thought that having more people who cared for Situ Xin was not a bad thing.

But who could understand the inner turmoil of Situ Xin? By recognizing Old Deng and getting closer to the Deng Family, she would be more intimately linked with them. Now, when she thought of the women of the Deng Family, her heart trembled.

However, such aversion disappeared when Situ Xin recalled an event from her past life. For some reason, while thinking of god-relatives, she suddenly remembered something she saw in the organization about related content of the organization itself.

The book clearly recorded the name of the organization’s former manager as Old Deng, and when Situ Xin first truly entered the organization, Old Deng had already passed away, and the organization had a new manager.

The organization’s rule was that a new manager would only appear if the current manager died or was willing to give up management power. If it was the latter case, the newly appointed person had to undergo the organization’s tests and only after passing those tests could they enter the organization. For the former case, there was no need for tests.

While Situ Xin was pondering all this, her eyes lit up. She had thought before about taking that organization that had wronged her in her past life into her own hands. After all, the people in that organization had outstanding abilities, and with them at crucial moments, they could stand toe-to-toe with a nation’s army. If she could tame this organization, it would elevate her personal power by more than just a notch or two.

Although Situ Xin had this in mind for a while, she had not found a way to make contact with the organization—knowing that it was very secretive, typically accessible only to members of the organization. And this was also why, in her past life, when Situ Xin tried to leave the organization, she was hunted down.

But Situ Xin never imagined that now she would be presented with such a great opportunity to get close to that organization—it made her elated. Even Baibai, nestled in Situ Xin’s arms, could feel her good mood.

And with that, Situ Xin no longer felt averse to the idea of recognizing Old Deng as her godfather, and a smile finally appeared on her face.

After the matter of recognizing god-relatives was settled, Situ Xin finally breathed easy. She really couldn’t handle how enthusiastic the Deng Family members were—one by one, they were overly affectionate. On the day they recognized relations, it wasn’t just her; even her brother, Situ Jin, and Xiao Muli, had their faces pinched red by the Deng Family daughters, each remarking "Wow, so cute!" as if they had never seen children before.
