"Old man, I can't give you a definite answer now." At the beginning, I studied medicine just because I didn't want to admit defeat. I never thought that one day I would become a barefoot doctor and encounter difficult and complicated diseases wherever I go. Although I always felt that the subtlety of the matter made him very depressed, Yun Chuxiu still answered in a businesslike manner: "Just like the eyes of the former young master, he was blind due to illness, but his eyes were actually intact, so I replaced his eyes with a pair of eyes, but if his eyes were injured by a sword, or if the meridians were damaged by poisoning, then I guess even the gods would not be able to cure him. A person's condition is always different from person to person, and only mediocre doctors would say they can cure everything!"

Otherwise, he would have healed his master's back and his brother's heart long ago!

The old man was obviously not surprised by this answer, and a slightly disappointed expression appeared on his face: "I understand, even if Hua Tuo were alive, he couldn't bring the dead back to life, so how can we force things in the world?"

"But it's rare that you're here. After the birthday banquet, please stay for a few more days and help take care of the patient. As long as you can save him, I will give you whatever you want!"

Wait! Wouldn't seeing a male doctor mean to see that part? He didn't want it! Yun Chuxiu realized it belatedly, secretly cursing himself for being so mean, and quickly said humbly: "Don't think that I can cure anything just because Young Master Yuan said I'm a miracle doctor. I'm actually just a Mongolian doctor. It was just a blind cat catching a dead mouse that cured him! Every doctor has his own strengths. If someone specializes in this, he must be much better than me. Why do you care so much about my opinion?"

…Although, are there really people who specialize in men’s health?! He did hear that there was a guy who called himself “a living person who doesn’t treat people” who was also very good at gynecology, but it was just a rumor, and he didn’t know whether it was true or not…

"Don't worry, even if he is not cured in the end, it is his fate. I will not blame you, and my promise to you is still valid. Over the years, I have asked almost all the famous doctors in the world, but unfortunately, they can't come up with any solution." The old man said slowly. "In fact, according to my principles, if you don't want to, it's fine, but this matter has really been a concern for me for many years, so... Mr. Yun should stay and be a guest. This way, it will be good for all of us, isn't it?"

He walked over and gently patted Yun Chuxiu's shoulder, without using much strength and in a very gentle manner. But even though he was so close to her, Yun Chuxiu still had no idea what he was thinking, nor could he judge the level of his martial arts. He couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, and swallowed the rejection that was on his lips.

The old man's study was an important place in the Sun Mansion and would never reveal any sound. Yuan Suiyun, who was standing outside, naturally didn't know what they said, but this didn't stop him and Sun Jian from standing outside and chatting.

"...Since I have connections, the matter of finding someone will most likely fall into your hands, Big Brother Sun." Since he had already informed the old man, Yuan Suiyun told Sun Jian about what happened just now in detail. "But, if Big Brother Sun finds someone, for the sake of our brother, please make sure to send Li Zixi to me first."

Sun Jian was a little puzzled: "I told you to find someone yourself, but you didn't do it. Now if you find someone, why don't you send him to Miss Yun right away?"

Yuan Suiyun smiled slightly and whispered in his ear: "Although Miss Yun's medical skills are outstanding, her martial arts skills are really average. I don't know what this Li Zixi is like, but I'm really worried that he can't handle it. It's better for me to take action first."

"Oh——" Although Sun Jian was not married, he was also an expert in the romantic field and understood immediately. "Don't worry, you are my brother. If you want to do something, don't you think I will support you!"

He laughed twice. Yuan Suiyun also smiled back, but thought to himself: Judging from Yun Chuxiu's reaction, that Hu Ju is probably just a cover to confuse people. He already knew where this person was, so he was so sure about his life or death. So... maybe Li Zixi is the person he really wants to find.

He didn't mind someone playing tricks on him, but the other person's level was really low, which made him feel quite boring. Just when he was feeling bored, Sun Jian's expression suddenly changed.

Yuan Suiyun followed his gaze and looked into the courtyard. He saw a young man in white leading a guest towards the study. He was immediately refreshed and thought to himself that this was a good show. As expected, Sun Jian patted his shoulder and whispered, "Suiyun, I'll put it here. As long as this matter falls into my hands, I will definitely help you achieve your wish! But if... this matter does not fall into my hands, then you can go and talk to that person yourself. I can't help anyway."

Yuan Suiyun also whispered, "Brother Sun, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that Lu Xiangchuan is the assistant that the old man trained for you. You really should get along well with him and stop being so mean to him."

Sun Jian knew that he had good intentions, but he and Lu Xiangchuan had never gotten along, so he didn't even bother to say a word. He said he was going back to the hall to greet the guests, and then left. Yuan Suiyun didn't move. He watched Lu Xiangchuan, who was dressed in white, lead a weathered and slightly embarrassed old man to approach him, and then he greeted him with a smile: "Brother Lu, are you here to see me too?"

His tone was gentle, but Lu Xiangchuan did not dare to neglect him at all. He first clasped his fists and bowed to him, respectfully calling him the former young master of the manor, and then said in a serious tone: "I am just leading the way for the old man's guests."

However, the old man and Yun Chuxiu were discussing something in the study, and he couldn't leave the guest alone here, so he could only comfort the old man next to him and accompany him to the reception room. Then, Yuan Suiyun also walked in.

"Old man, you must be my old friend, right?" Yuan Suiyun asked very gently. He was born in a martial arts family, and grew up in luxury. He was so talented and skilled in martial arts. Apart from being blind since childhood, he had hardly suffered any setbacks, but he didn't have a stubborn temper, which was rare. Lu Xiangchuan watched from the side, and noticed his pair of bright and colorful eyes, and his eyes dimmed a little.

He watched Yuan Suiyun take a bunch of grapes from the basket held by Old Man Zhang, picked two and put them in his mouth, then squinted his eyes and smiled: "These are the best grapes I have eaten this year."

No one could refuse such praise, not even Old Man Zhang. Moreover, what he was holding were indeed the best pumpkins and grapes of the year, because only the best things could be presented to the old man.

He straightened his back, and even the wrinkles on his face seemed to be emitting light. Yuan Suiyun stared at his expression intently. This was a new habit he had developed since he regained his sight. In the past, when he couldn't see, he could easily see into people's hearts, but it was not until he could see that he truly understood the joy of observation.

"This is... the gift I brought to the old man! Every year when he grows up, I will give him the best crops from my fields." Under his encouraging and gentle gaze, Old Man Zhang stuttered at first, but soon became fluent, because when a person talks about what he is best at, he always seems full of confidence, even if he is just a farmer.

"My uncle and I came from outside the Great Wall together. So many years have passed in the blink of an eye..."

"So you also came from outside the Great Wall, no wonder you are so familiar with me." Although he said that, Yuan Suiyun couldn't understand the old man's thoughts at all. He only took a glance and knew that the reason why old man Zhang appeared here was not only to celebrate the old man's birthday, but also to ask him for something. He also knew that the old man would not let him down.

The old man never let anyone down. This is why he was born in a poor family, but he was still able to make such a big name for himself in the Jiangnan martial arts world and was respected by many martial artists. However, in the world, people come and go for profit. Saving useful people is for future planning, but why should we save useless people?

The old man wants to help such an old man who has nothing. It can’t be just for these pumpkins and grapes, right?

He didn't move his face, but he couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Yun Chuxiu saw his inconsistency as soon as he entered the door, and couldn't help rolling his eyes. His desire to ask for help faded, but Yuan Suiyun recognized his footsteps, turned around and smiled at him, and asked softly: "Have you finished talking?"

The old man didn't look at him again. All his attention was on Old Man Zhang, and he immediately walked towards him. Old Man Zhang called him loudly, as if calling the gods in his heart, and suddenly cried and trembled all over.
