Chapter 1833 - 1894: Spread Out
"According to your logic, sending the old man to the hospital is also a death sentence. Are you going to kill all the doctors who tried to save him just because they couldn’t save your grandfather?" Li Yifei asked coldly.Su Lio’s mouth moved. Of course, she wouldn’t do that, she was just talking. Besides, she never thought her grandfather would die.
Being pressed by Li Yifei, Su Lio took two steps back, saying with a lack of momentum, "I didn’t say that."
Li Yifei said bluntly, "Then what did you mean by those words? If I were narrow-minded, just for what you said just now, even if your grandfather could live, I would still make sure he died!"
Su Lio shouted directly, "No way!"
Wang Chao and Ma Han didn’t really believe Li Yifei would do such a thing. At this moment, they found this young man quite interesting. Either he’s genuinely capable or he’s just a joke. Hopefully, it’s the former.
"Honey, you sit here, I’ll go check on the old man," Li Yifei turned to Song Lianyao and said.
He was truly ready to intervene, not to use this opportunity to gain favors with the so-called Su Family. There was no need for that. Even if nothing happened today and he had to confront Wang Chao and Ma Han directly, Li Yifei was confident he wouldn’t lose, at most it would be a bit troublesome.
The real reason he decided to make a move to save the old man was that Li Yifei felt having a cultivator in Huaxia wasn’t easy. Given his age, preserving one was worthwhile. This kind of compassion was something he learned from Murong Yuanqing and others.
The death of Master Void left Murong Yuanqing so sorrowful. If this old man was familiar with Murong Yuanqing and others, not saving him might lead to future blame.
As for Li Xiang, he had already apologized. Whether he was sincere or not, Li Yifei had achieved his purpose. He’s a man of his word. If he said he’d save someone after an apology, he would.
Wang Chao and Ma Han, seeing that Li Yifei was finally willing to save someone, quickly followed. Su Lio watched Li Yifei’s back, stomped her foot, and also followed with her sword. Only Li Xiang was left, holding his twice-swollen finger, feeling like crying without tears, not knowing whom to tell.
Song Lianyao didn’t just sit there either; she followed as well. She enjoyed watching this kind of excitement.
Huang Zicong and others blinked, secretly wiped their sweat, thinking it’s fortunate they didn’t act rashly. That young man, who seemed to be showy, might actually be really capable. If they had provoked him, they felt they wouldn’t be in a good spot.
At this moment, the sound of an ambulance siren blared outside. Li Yifei looked back and said, "Have the ambulance wait. Even if the old man wakes up, he’ll still need hospital treatment."
"Alright, alright." Huang Zicong quickly turned around, and even Boss Huang personally went to block the door, asking the police car and the ambulance personnel to wait inside.
Su Lio, holding her sword, stood behind Li Yifei, looking at her grandpa lying on the ground with eyes closed tightly, face darkened, and felt like crying. She gritted her teeth and thought if Li Yifei couldn’t save her grandpa, she would indeed stab him in the back, for sure, especially after what he said to her!
Li Yifei walked over, squatted down, and took one of Elder Su’s hands, starting to take his pulse. He didn’t have True Qi, but over the years, he learned a lot from Murong Yuanqing and others. To him, those were useful knowledge, including some medical knowledge. This medical knowledge wasn’t modern Western medicine or so-called modern medicine but the ancient and miraculous Traditional Chinese Medicine passed down in Huaxia, which included the most magical kind of medical technique known as Wishcraft. It’s said to have existed since the time of Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi. Elder Yao Lingfu was a descendant of this technique, which was why she taught Na Yi how to cultivate herbs to help Li Yifei temporarily relieve the worm in his body.
Wishcraft is a legendary technique, and Li Yifei hadn’t learned much of it, but he knew a lot of medical knowledge. Elder Su’s pulse was so faint that it was almost undetectable without careful attention. To describe it metaphorically, if a normal person’s pulse was a hundred units, Elder Su’s pulse was only a few units. The difference was clear, reflecting the critical state of Elder Su’s body.
Although he didn’t know who this Elder Su was, since Li Yifei decided to act, he didn’t hesitate any longer. He switched to another method to check, but it was futile without True Qi in his body; Li Yifei couldn’t directly assess the situation.
After two minutes, Li Yifei raised his head. A circle of people stood around him, Wang Chao and Ma Han, also squatting beside him, faces full of worry. They understood their father’s condition well, knowing the hospital was useless, which was why they pinned their hopes on Li Yifei.
Su Lio still stood behind Li Yifei, her pretty face tense. She always felt Li Yifei was just putting on a show with no real ability. If that was the case, she would definitely kill him for delaying her grandfather’s treatment.
Of course, if the treatment worked, she would thank him, but only after it was successful.
Li Yifei glanced around and said, "Why are so many people crowding around? Scatter."
Most of those people were from the Su Family. Hearing Li Yifei say this, they showed displeased expressions, but Ma Han quickly said, "Didn’t you hear? Go find a room to wait. If something happens to the old man, you’ll also be responsible. Hmph, dragging the old man to Old Camp City like this!"
Once Ma Han spoke, those people naturally wouldn’t linger, each quickly turning to leave. Seeing this, the locals like Huang Zicong also realized it wouldn’t do to stay, so they too quickly found a room to wait in.
For a moment, only Li Yifei and a few others were left in the hall. Li Yifei looked at Li Xiang and tilted his head toward the room. Li Xiang grunted heavily and walked inside.
"You too, go in." Li Yifei said to Su Lio.
Su Lio immediately glared and asked, "Why should I go in? That’s my grandfather!"
"Nonsense, don’t I know he’s your grandfather? But you’re also a woman!" Li Yifei replied.
"I’m his granddaughter!" Su Lio argued, feeling that Li Yifei was particularly rude to her, which was very displeasing for Su Lio, who was always the center of affection.
Li Yifei chuckled and said, "The treatment requires taking off Old Master Su’s clothes. Are you sure you want to stay here?"
"You!" Su Lio felt Li Yifei was insulting her grandfather, so she quickly said, "No way, you dismissed everyone, who knows what you’re up to, what if you have ill intentions towards my grandfather?"
"Are you kidding? I would have ill intentions towards an old man? Even if I had any toward you, it wouldn’t be towards him!" Li Yifei laughed dismissively.
Su Lio immediately raised her soft sword, about to strike at Li Yifei, but Wang Chao reprimanded, "Ali, don’t be ridiculous. If your grandfather needs to take off his clothes, it is indeed inappropriate for you to be here."
"But he can’t talk like that either!" Su Lio fumed, turning her head to see Song Lianyao, and pointed at her, "Why can she stay here?"
Li Yifei turned back to look at Song Lianyao and said, "You can’t stay here either. Apart from my body, you can’t look at anyone else’s."
Song Lianyao nodded obediently and walked toward a room. Seeing Song Lianyao leave, Su Lio had no choice but to stamp her foot and go inside as well.
Once everyone had left, Li Yifei asked, "Do you two have True Qi?"
"Yes, both Ma Han and I do," Wang Chao quickly replied. Although their cultivation wasn’t strong, they still had True Qi. Hearing Li Yifei mention True Qi made them even more pleased, as it indicated that Li Yifei truly had skills; otherwise, how would he even know the term True Qi?
"Alright, go get that crazy girl’s soft sword, and also inform the hospital to prepare matching blood types. Today we’re going to do bloodletting for the old man, otherwise, he won’t survive!" Li Yifei instructed as he said, "I can’t believe whoever did this is so ruthless. Even if the old man was normal, he wouldn’t live long, and yet they still poisoned him!"
Seeing Li Yifei was aware of this too, Wang Chao and Ma Han no longer doubted his abilities. Wang Chao went to instruct people outside, and Ma Han went to retrieve Su Lio’s soft sword, explaining to the young girl until she finally agreed to hand the sword over to her second uncle.
Back with the soft sword, Li Yifei had already stripped most of Old Master Su’s clothing. The old man’s exposed skin was darkened, causing Wang Chao and Ma Han to frown deeply and worry more. Ma Han squatted down with the soft sword and asked, "Sir, are you sure this will work?"
"Of course, otherwise would I have taken this job? If I wasn’t confident, I would have left long ago. Do you think you two could keep me here?" Li Yifei said.
Wang Chao and Ma Han pretended not to hear Li Yifei’s words, as long as he confirmed it was possible, that was enough.
"Seal these points with True Qi!" Li Yifei pointed to the acupoints on both of Old Master Su’s arms, moving to the shoulders. Seeing the two hesitate, Li Yifei added sternly, "Speed up, slow won’t be effective, don’t worry about the force, this old man can handle it."
The two steeled themselves, following Li Yifei’s instructions, pressing down on the acupoints he indicated using True Qi to seal them.
This was just the beginning, as Li Yifei held the soft sword, gripping the tip with both hands. He wasn’t careful, and the sharp sword cut a small slit on his finger, prompting a hiss and a drop of blood to quickly emerge.
Wang Chao and Ma Han shuddered inside, thinking, can this guy really do it? He even nicked his finger with the sword, and now he plans to treat the old man?
"I’m testing the sword." Li Yifei said calmly.
Wang Chao wiped the sweat off his face, watching as Li Yifei gripped the sword’s tip and thrust it downward into the old man’s chest, fast, precise, and fierce. By the time the two reacted, the tip of the soft sword had already pierced into the old man’s chest.
