Xiao Yu finished speaking and turned to walk in the direction of the Song family.
Wang Yuanping, his two comrades-in-arms, and his son were instantly stunned upon hearing Xiao Yu's words. This news was like a bombshell for them, causing them to stand rooted on the basketball court.
The middle-aged man’s face showed hatred; back then Wang Yuanping favored Zhao Lingyun over him, giving all the good food first to Zhao Lingyun and only allowing him to eat afterward. From a young age, he harbored resentment toward Zhao Lingyun.
He believed that everything that belonged to him was taken by Zhao Lingyun. Fortunately, Zhao Lingyun had died early; otherwise, he feared Wang Yuanping would hand over his family’s power to Zhao Lingyun. Sometimes, he even doubted if he was truly Wang Yuanping's biological son or if it was Zhao Lingyun.
This middle-aged man glared with hatred at Xiao Yu as the latter entered the Song family compound. He silently cursed inwardly that since Zhao Lingyun’s death, his son had not been at ease; now even his son Wang Jing has been crippled, making him hate the father and son of Xiao Yu more.
However, Wang Yuanping and his two comrades-in-arms were different. Their minds were blank except for Xiao Yu's words that kept replaying in their heads!
A while later, they finally regained their senses from this shocking news. Immediately after regaining composure, all three of them showed an expression of extreme joy; however, Wang Yuanping’s elation quickly turned to a miserable frown.
From the way Xiao Yu looked at him, he could tell that Xiao Yu hated him deeply. Furthermore, Xiao Yu had crippled his grandson, which was too hard for him to accept.
"Old Wang..." Seeing Wang Yuanping's expression, his two comrades-in-arms called out to him.
"You guys go ahead! I want some quiet time!" Wang Yuanping saw both of them looking at him and instantly understood their intentions. But considering the current state between him and Xiao Yu, he waved his hands to dismiss them.
“Alright… In that case, we’ll go see Xiao Yu first!” Both comrades thought for a moment before saying.
Their hearts were filled with excitement; they had believed their old comrade had no descendants left. They never expected him to have a grandson now. Moreover, the Zhao family hadn’t died out completely, or else they wouldn't know how to account for this to their old comrade after death.
After saying that, both of them walked towards the Song family compound.
"You guys go back first!" Wang Yuanping stood dejectedly in the yard and waved his hand at his son.
"Father..."
"Don't say anything. You guys go back first!"
The middle-aged man, seeing Wang Pingyuan wave at him, took a step forward and tried to speak, but what he was about to say was cut off by Wang Pingyuan.
“Alright!” The middle-aged man nodded his head and walked out. He knew that this place wasn't somewhere he could often stay in.
"Sigh..." Upon seeing his son leave, Wang Pingyuan sighed as he headed towards Song Lao's room. He was well aware of the resentment his son held in his heart. But what could he do about it
Wang Pingyuan walked despondently toward the Song family residence, but no matter what the outcome would be, he would await Grandpa Song’s message.
Xiao Yu and Song Hushan along with the old man came back to the Song family home. Along the way, Xiao Yu kept his head down and didn't speak; Song Hushan thought that Xiao Yu was brooding over Wang Pingyuan's matter. Therefore, they didn’t disturb him, letting him think things through.
Actually, Xiao Yu wouldn’t be worrying about Wang Pingyuan’s matter. Ever since he had spared Wang Pingyuan and let him live, Xiao Yu hadn't been thinking about this matter anymore. The reason why he was brooding over it mainly stemmed from the psychological shadow left by his childhood.
This psychological shadow accompanied him all along; even after obtaining Zhong Kui's legacy, his psychological shadow didn’t disappear until now when he spared Wang Pingyuan’s life. Only then did the mental block dissolve, allowing Xiao Yu's heart to become more refined and mature.
In his heart, the present-day Wang Pingyuan was just a passerby, while the feud between their two families had been settled. Therefore, considering Xiao Yu's mindset, he wouldn't be brooding over anything concerning Wang Pingyuan.
Xiao Yu pondered deeply during this entire trip, not because of the matter regarding Wang Pingyuan but rather thinking about the possibility of his method curing Grandpa Song.
A few people returned to the living room in the Song family residence. Yunxi and Zhou Ruoying were anxiously pacing around like ants on a hot pan. Although Xiao Yu had asked her to return indoors, she was still worried. However, she feared that going out would affect Xiao Yu, so she stayed in the living room with Zhou Ruoying.
"Is Xiao Yu okay"
Upon seeing Xiao Yu walk in, Yunxi and Zhou Ruoying hurried over to him, observing him closely. They only felt reassured when they saw that he was fine.
"Yunxi, Zhou auntie, I'm fine, don't worry!" When Xiao Yu saw the worried look on Yunxi's face, he smiled and said this to her.
Song Hushan and Li Laoshi looked rather surprised when they heard what Xiao Yu had said. None of them had expected that Xiao Yu's golden needles could have such an effect. Initially, seeing those two bodyguards made them very worried.
In their hearts, they thought that Xiao Yu’s strength was similar to Zhang Dahan’s, but these two people were clearly better than Zhang Dahan by a notch. Even if Xiao Yu had some special techniques, it should be difficult for him to win. Moreover, with those two on the other side, it would have been even harder for him to triumph. But they never imagined that Xiao Yu could achieve such a clean victory.
At this point, Song Hushan and Li Laoshi had implicitly formed a new perception of Xiao Yu's strength in their hearts. All of his techniques were definitely much more powerful than the peak Ming Jin realm, and even ordinary An Jin experts should find it challenging to defeat him.
"Xiao Yu, there is a quiet room here!" Song Hushan said this after finishing what he had to say earlier.
"Uncle Song, no need. Let's go up and see Grandpa Senior," Xiao Yu shook his head and said.
After hearing what Xiao Yu said, Song Hushan and Li Laoshi all looked at him in surprise. In their hearts, they were puzzled; hadn't Xiao Yu wanted to find a quiet room before Why was he not wanting it now
But none of them mentioned anything further. They accompanied Xiao Yu upstairs to Grandpa Senior’s bedroom.
In the bedroom of Old Patriarch Song, doctors from the Health Department stood by once again, while Chen Laoshi and Wang Laoshi were standing beside Old Patriarch Song, taking his pulse every now and then to check on his condition. The level of their diagnostic skills was not much inferior to that of Western medical equipment.
Without any machines here, the only way to monitor Old Patriarch Song's physical state was through pulse diagnosis.
When Xiao Yu entered the room with them, both Song Wanting and Chen Laoshi & Wang Laoshi looked at Xiao Yu in a daze. Although they did not go downstairs when Xiao Yu was battling Wang Pingyuan to death, they had heard everything clearly from upstairs.
Seeing Xiao Yu back now...
Thinking of this, Song Wanting and the others all showed an expression of shock on their faces, but at present, what was foremost in their minds was Father's illness. They didn’t have time to care about other people’s matters.
After entering the room, Xiao Yu walked straight over to Old Patriarch Song’s bedside and reached out his hand to take the old man’s pulse.
"Father, how is he" Song Hushan went up to the elderly person beside Song Wanting and asked.
"Ah..." When Song Wanta heard Song Huashan's words, they all sighed and shook their heads.
The Ministry of Health concluded that there was nothing they could do. They believed that the elder Mr. Song's condition was due to aging bodily functions, meaning his death would be natural without any disease. There were no effective treatments for such conditions.
Because Mr. Song himself did not have a specific illness, it made things difficult. If he had an illness, they could treat the affected area, but now what could they do They could only watch helplessly.
The doctors from the Ministry of Health thought that their only option was to enhance all aspects of Mr. Song's bodily functions. However, how long Mr. Song could endure this treatment depended on fate. In other words, they could only prolong his life without any guarantee as to when it would end.
Mr. Chen and Mr. Wang's approach also involved adjustments using medicine to strengthen all of Mr. Song's organ functions.
A moment later, Xiao Yu released Mr. Song’s wrist; currently, Mr. Song’s pulse was gradually weakening.
"Doctor Xiao, is your life-prolonging needle...可行嗎？" (Is your life-prolonging needle effective)
Seeing that Doctor Xiao had finished taking the pulse and frowned, Mr. Chen asked him.
Hearing Mr. Chen’s words, Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "No, using the Five Elements Needle would only accelerate his death!"
"Oh!" Upon hearing Xiao Yu's explanation, Mr. Chen nodded thoughtfully.
He knew a bit about the principle behind the Xiaojia family’s life-prolonging needle technique and understood that when Xiao Yu said this, he was referring to Mr. Song's current situation where it would be counterproductive.
"Xiao Yu, what’s the situation" When Song Huashan saw Xiao Yu approach, he asked him.
"The elder’s pulse is still weakening; at this rate, he can hold on for another ten hours or so!" Upon hearing Song Huashan's question, Xiao Yu said to him.
"However, I’ve thought of a way. Since it’s a new idea, there isn't much certainty. Consider your options: if we use this method and manage to cure the elder Mr. Song, his internal strength would definitely be lost. You decide whether you want to try it or not"
Xiao Yu pondered for a moment before addressing Song Huashan.that Xiao Yu had figured out Li Yonghe’s ailment because they had seen how miraculous Xiao Yu's medical skills were when he treated patients before. As for the Lee Sirong couple, upon seeing Mr. Song'...
