Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, the Tang family members' expressions changed collectively. Although they were mentally prepared for this news, it was still hard for them to accept when Xiao Yu said it.

"Doctor Xiao, are you joking Haven't you cured Marshal Huang’s illness already Why can’t our grandfather be saved"

Tang Qing's uncle asked anxiously after hearing Xiao Yu's words.

"Marshal Huang Well, Marshal Huang is younger than the old man and his body still has some potential to tap into. However, the old man’s body is now depleted, and he has reached the natural end of his life."

After hearing their question, Xiao Yu thought for a moment before answering.

A person's body differs from another's. The same symptoms may appear differently on different people, and this old man’s age is already advanced. Moreover, he isn’t suffering from heart disease because of an attack but due to his body failing to support his heart, which led to the recurrence of heart problems. Although it sounds like a reversal in order, it’s fundamentally different.

"Damn you quack! Do you even know how to diagnose illnesses If not, get lost!" A young man around twenty years old beside the Tang family suddenly roared at Xiao Yu upon hearing his words.

"Snap... Tang Hui, who gave you permission to speak Get out of here immediately and go meditate in your room!"

The sudden roar startled the Tang family members. Although they felt that what Xiao Yu said wasn’t quite right, they didn't stop Tang Hui; instead, they glared at him fiercely. But Tang Shouyi was different. Knowing more about Xiao Yu's background than others did, he reacted strongly when hearing Tang Hui’s words and roared, slapping him.

Not only Tang Hui, but the rest of the Tang family members were shocked by Tang Shouyi's action too. They knew that Xiao Yu lived in an extraordinary place, but they didn’t know his exact background. In their view, as a doctor, he shouldn't have much influence; hence, they just glared at Tang Hui without expecting Tang Shouyi to act so decisively.

"Grandpa..." Tang Hui was stunned and looked at Tang Shouyi blankly when he called out.

He was Tang Shouyi's grandson. Although he wasn’t very responsible now, being the oldest great-grandson, he was still favored by these elders, so he never expected them to hit him.

"Get lost immediately!" Seeing that Tang Hui stood there in a daze, Tang Shouyi roared again before turning around and saying to Xiao Yu, "Doctor Xiao, I apologize. He's just a kid who doesn’t understand things. Please don't take it to heart. Is the old man really beyond help Can you think of another way"

Tang Shouyi's attitude towards Xiao Yu left all the Tang family members confused. If they hadn't known there were other factors at play, their family might have been obliterated in the high-level power struggles!

Tang Hui just had the temper of a spoiled official’s son, and since Xiao Yu was merely a doctor, he dared to act so brazenly. However, Tang Hui wasn’t stupid; upon seeing Tang Shouyi's attitude towards Xiao Yu, he knew that this doctor wasn't an ordinary person.

Who was his grandfather His grandfather, the eldest son of the Tang family and a former vice-national-level leader, had spoken so politely to a man in his early twenties. If Tang Hui couldn’t deduce anything from this, it would have been pointless for him to be born into such a political family.

Therefore, after seeing how respectfully his grandfather treated Xiao Yu, Tang Hui covered his face and obediently walked towards the ward behind them.

The incident didn’t stir any emotions in Xiao Yu’s heart; he remained very calm.

He had been pondering over this old man's illness, and a spoiled brat’s rant hadn’t concerned him at all.

"Uncle Judge, you must think of a way to save my grandfather!" At this moment, Xiao Tang Ran also approached and tugged at Xiao Yu's arm.

Xiao Tang Ran had always appeared very mature in Xiao Yu’s eyes, like an adult. But now he was finally showing his vulnerable side, with tears glistening in his eyes as he looked pitifully at Xiao Yu.

"Tang Ran, it's not that Uncle doesn't want to help; it’s just impossible. The old man is nearing the end of his life, and there’s nothing human intervention can do!"

Upon hearing Tang Ran’s words, Xiao Yu sighed and told him.

He had no way of helping in such a situation; otherwise, why would people die He could only save those who weren’t destined to perish. As for someone like the old man, even deities wouldn't be able to help, which was why there were so many high-ranking immortals choosing to 'sit death' or 'ascend to heaven'.

These terms of 'sitting death' and 'ascending to heaven' essentially meant passing away naturally due to old age.

"Sigh..." When the Tang family heard Xiao Yu's words, they all heaved a long sigh. Although they had known this outcome for a while now, they simply couldn't accept it.

However... As everyone in the Tang family sat dejectedly on chairs, Xiao Yu suddenly thought of something and frowned as he said, "But...

Sitting family members of the Tang clan were startled and looked at Xiao Yu after hearing his words, waiting for him to continue.

Xiao Yu hesitated about how to explain this situation to them. Doing so seemed rather cruel, so he was indecisive.

"Doctor Xiao, what's wrong Please state your requirements! If our Tang clan can do it, we won't decline!"

Waiting for a long time without any response from Xiao Yu, the third uncle of Tang Qing, one of the current Nine Elders of the country, stood up and looked at him seriously.

The statement made by the current head of the Tang clan was stronger than any assurance. It also represented the whole Tang clan.

Hearing their words, Xiao Yu only laughed lightly without responding. He really had nothing he needed the Tang clan to do for him.

So Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "It's not about that. I can't save the old man, but I can make him conscious for three days. After those three days pass, everything will vanish. However, it would be rather cruel. When a person knows he'll die in three days and is fully aware during these three days, this is an extreme test of one's willpower. Sometimes this isn't good for someone, so it's better to let him go through it dazedly!"

"Of course, this is the only thing I can do. How you want to deal with it is your decision. The old man still has two hours left now. If a decision isn't made within those two hours, then even if I wanted to make him conscious for three days, it wouldn’t be possible anymore!"

Making the patient conscious for three days was the only method Xiao Yu could think of at present. This was also something he could do after obtaining the herbs from the swamp. Without them, there would be no way even to achieve this.

After saying that, Xiao Yu walked over and sat down on a chair nearby, closing his eyes and meditating quietly.

The Tang clan family members gathered together to discuss the matter. They were extremely conflicted in their hearts. If they didn’t save the old man, he would die right away, but if they did, he could only live for three days, and these three days would be very clear-headed ones. At this time, the old man was like a criminal sentenced to death who knew exactly when his execution date was. This was an ordeal, regardless of whether one had good or poor mental fortitude.

So the Tang clan family members were all at a loss and didn’t know what to do.

After discussing it among themselves, they finally decided that there were still other doctors; they would first find another doctor for treatment. If successful, that was great. But if not, Xiao Yu would be their last resort since in their view, every extra day the old man could live counted.

The matter of having only three days to live had to be concealed as much as possible, so the old man wouldn’t find out about it.

However, the best doctors from this Capital City Hospital were all inside the ward, and within two hours, it would be impossible to find other doctors from afar; they could only seek nearby ones.

Hence, Tang Qing walked over to that part of the ward, gestured at Director Zhou inside, and called him out again. If he wanted to find a doctor near the Capital City, he could only rely on Director Zhou.

Director Zhou thought for a moment after hearing Tang Qing's words before saying, "Mayor Tang, regardless of traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, there are very few doctors in the Capital who surpass our hospital’s doctors. Do you still wish to find them"

There was nothing Director Zhou could do either; only a small number of doctors in the city were better than those at their hospital.

The physicians inside the ward, for instance, were all renowned masters and not inferior to anyone. This was also what gave them confidence because these doctors ranked among imperial physicians.

"Time is limited; just find a few true national medical saints!" Tang Qing said after some thought. They knew the strength of this Capital City Hospital, so they didn’t need to seek out ordinary doctors.

As time ticked by, Xiao Yu remained in a corner meditating with his eyes closed and ignored their movements.

The flow of people here never ceased; either they were visiting the patient or doctors summoned by the Tang family. However, these individuals came and left quickly, hardly staying for long.

Those who arrived could do nothing about Old Man Tang’s condition.

"Big Brother, Grandpa Zhuo has come over, as well as Elder Zhong!"

The Tang family felt their hopes diminishing when they saw that so many doctors had been unable to help. After all, despite the number of physicians who had examined Old Man Tang's condition, none could offer a solution.

Seeing two hours passing by, the Tang family’s spirits were low. At this moment, a sixty-something-old elder walked over and said after reaching their side.

The Tang family immediately stood up upon hearing him; Grandpa Zhuo was not only highly skilled in medicine but also from the same generation as their grandfather, so they naturally wouldn’t treat him lightly. Elder Zhong had once been a cabinet minister although his clan wasn't as prosperous compared to the Tangs’. Nonetheless, he couldn't be underestimated either.i exchanged a glance and followed him out.When they came to the front door, Liu Yong was standing by a car in the distance, looking towards it."Liu Yong, what's going on" After coming out, Wang Jun as...
