Online dating backfired? A wealthy heir begged me to continue lying to him.

Grandma Fu also looked reluctant to part with him.

"Grandma doesn't want to die either."

"Grandma wants to see you graduate and get married."

But she still slowly closed her eyes.

"grandmother!"

"Yun Qing!"

"Master, please save Grandma! I beg you to save her!"

Upon returning here, Su Ruan felt such a strong sense of powerlessness for the first time.

She is no longer the newcomer experiencing the world from the outside, nor is she the player with cheat codes who has a part of the storyline in her hands.

She was just a pitiful child who had finally found her family, only to face separation by death.

"Wait! Be quiet!"

Li Wanqing, who had been holding Old Madam Fu's wrist with one hand, suddenly spoke.

Su Ruan abruptly stopped crying.

The surrounding chaos also froze instantly.

Everyone waited quietly.

Li Wanqing waved to Su Ruan.

"Come over here and feel my pulse too."

Su Ruan was taken aback, but still walked over.

This pulse...

The moment her hand touched it, every detail she felt with her fingers entered her mind, and her mind began to automatically match the medical cases she had read before.

Grandma's heart meridians are depleted, affecting her internal organs; she's only holding on by her last breath.

But that initial burst of enthusiasm has clearly waned.

But at this moment, Su Ruan discovered a strong and powerful new life.

Grandma might still be saved!

One of the techniques in the Nine Needles for Rejuvenation is "Withered Trees Come Back to Life".

It tells the story of the tenacious life force within Cui Sheng's withered body, which is used to achieve the effect of bringing him back to life and forcibly prolonging his life.

"Ginseng slices!"

Su Ruan let go of her grandmother's hand, got up, and rushed outside.

She rushed back to her room and rummaged through her bag.

The ginseng she kept as a memento is now lying safely in her bag.

She grabbed the packet of ginseng and turned back.

"This plant is sixty years old; it should be usable."

Li Wanqing's eyes lit up when she saw the whole, fresh, and pure wild ginseng.

Although the age of this ginseng is not very high, it is still sufficient.

Especially since this ginseng is fresh and intact, a pure wild ginseng whose medicinal properties have not been lost.

"With this, I'm even more confident!"

Whether it's the Gu family or the Pei family, they certainly don't lack better ginseng.

But at this moment, it's beyond our reach.

Li Wanqing carefully examined the ginseng and handed it to Wen Yubai.

"Go and deal with it quickly."

Wen Yubai took the ginseng and turned to leave.

Su Ruan stayed by her grandmother's side.

Old Master Gu's gaze fell on Su Ruan, his eyes softening more and more.

Soon, the ginseng slices were cut over.

Su Ruan gave it to her grandmother.

Then I opened the needle kit.

"Master, let's go together."

Li Wanqing nodded.

"Let's do it together!"

Promoting vitality and protecting the heart are both essential.

The silver needles emitted a faint, cold light under the lamp.

The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

This time, Wen Yubai was the one assisting.

He squatted quietly next to Su Ruan.

Su Ruan used the Heart-Protecting Acupuncture Technique, which she had used several times before.

Wen Yubai had already mastered that set of acupuncture techniques.

But he knew that letting Su Ruan take over was the best option at this moment.

All he needed to do was be the senior brother who protected and guided him.

If Su Ruan can't hold on any longer, he can step in at any time.

Su Ruan did not feel tired at all throughout the process.

She focused solely on the subtle feedback transmitted back from each silver needle.

She wanted to save her grandmother!

"alright."

After taking three ginseng slices, Li Wanqing stopped the needlework.

She was already teetering on the brink of collapse.

Looking up at Su Ruan, he saw that her expression remained unchanged.

After she finished her needlework, she calmly removed the needle one stitch at a time.

My heart was filled with complex emotions.

She is a seasoned veteran whose control over each silver needle has reached an extremely precise level, which is why she has been able to persevere until now.

What about Su Ruan?

As far as she knew, there were only a few times in total.

How have they managed to hold on until now without collapsing?

She thought Wen Yubai would take over later.

However, until Su Ruan withdrew the last needle, she did not give Wen Yubai any chance to make a move.

Absolutely monstrous! Absolutely monstrous!

Li Wanqing, who could barely stand with support, was shocked.

But then I saw...

After carefully putting the last silver needle into a bag, Su Ruan collapsed straight down.

Fortunately, Wen Yubai, who was standing nearby, was prepared and prevented her from falling to the ground.

"Softie!"

Everyone was shocked.

A hint of heartache appeared on Wen Yubai's usually indifferent face.

"Master, it's alright, Junior Sister just overdid it."

This isn't the first time something like this has happened to Su Ruan.

When she administers acupuncture, she can easily fall into a state of complete concentration, undisturbed by external things.

So much so that she didn't seem to have any abnormalities until she relaxed.

But once the event is over, all the overdrawn energy, mental and physical strength will explode at once.

He didn't know how Su Ruan was able to do that.

Generally speaking, even the most rigorous training may not be able to achieve this effect.

This requires extremely strong endurance and willpower.

Fu Xiao's eyes also sharpened slightly.

This wasn't the first time Su Ruan had collapsed from exhaustion.

The first time he thought it was an accident, but this time, he watched the whole thing from the sidelines.

Su Ruan relied entirely on her strong willpower and self-control to persevere through the entire treatment.

Such willpower can only be possessed by veterans who have undergone rigorous and cruel training.

How did Su Ruan, a young girl, come to have this?

Shouldn't she be a little girl who cries out in pain at the slightest sign of discomfort?

At most, she's like the female military doctor he knows; when in pain, she can only grimace, but she can never remain expressionless.

Kesu Ruan...

This is illogical.

But Fu Xiao may never understand it in his entire life.

Because no one knows what kind of torment Su Ruan went through before her death during those three years when she disappeared.

It was as if every inch of bone was desperately stimulating the nerves, sending extreme pain to the brain.

Moreover, this pain is not blocked by the brain's self-protection mechanism.

She could only endure it.

He endured the pain for a full month and a half before finally dying from the agony.

So what's a little physical fatigue?

At that time, all she could think about was making the vitality in her grandmother's body stronger, even stronger.

She only felt relieved when she received the acupuncture needles, after reaching a result that she could barely accept and which was also the limit she knew she had reached. Then she fell into a deep sleep.

She knew that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, her grandmother's life was saved.

She was worried.

But don't you still have your master and your senior brothers?

She's just a nobody, so this is the best she can do.

Su Ruan was carefully carried back to her large bed on the second floor by Wen Yubai, who told Grandma Zhou to let her rest well.

Then they went back to the neighbor's yard.

There is still someone Su Ruan cares about there.

The helicopter landed in an open area not far away.

They carried Grandma Fu, whose complexion had regained some color, onto the plane.

Accompanying them were the renowned physician Li Wanqing and her successor Wen Yubai.

Fu Xiao was kept behind.

"Protect Softie!"

"clear!"

Fu Xiao's salute was a military salute, a mission he was willing to risk his life to complete.
