Brother, Thank You!

When Xu Qingyang returned to his senses, Xu Jinhong sighed and said, "Brother Qingyang, I know you want to cure Qingying's cold poison, but you aren't a physician. Why don't we ask one to help?"

Then Xu Juren looked at the determination in Xu Qingyang's eyes and said, "Qingyang, I know you and Qingying have been close since childhood, and you don't want anything to happen to her. But it takes a real physician to cure her cold poison!"

Hearing this, Xu Qingyang glanced at Xu Juren and Xu Jinhong and gave a wry smile. "I understand what you mean. Please give me ten breaths. If I can't cure Qingying's cold poison, we'll invite a physician from Nanyang Prefecture to treat her!"

At that moment, Xu Juren and Xu Jinhong exchanged a glance. Both felt that Xu Qingying's cold poison flaring up had driven Xu Qingyang a little mad.

At the same time, an indescribable sorrow filled their hearts. Perhaps this was simply how deeply Xu Qingyang cared for his younger sister, Xu Qingying!

Seeing Xu Qingyang like this, Li Xunzhou sighed inwardly and remained speechless for a long while.

Yet while the three men were lost in thought, Xu Qingyang opened his palm. The Sky-Swallowing Pattern appeared at once, radiating powerful fluctuations of energy as he pressed his palm directly against Xu Qingying's body.

With a rushing sound, the three men saw the ice covering Xu Qingying rapidly recede.

Could Qingyang really cure Qingying's cold poison?

Xu Juren clenched his teeth, inwardly brimming with delight.

Xu Jinhong's eyes went wide. It seemed Brother Qingyang really might be able to cure Qingying.

"Wha... how is this possible?"

Seeing this, Li Xunzhou rubbed his eyes and spoke in disbelief.

Ten breaths later.

They saw that the ice encasing Xu Qingying had vanished completely.

Moreover, the pallor had disappeared from Xu Qingying's face, replaced by a healthy rosy glow.

At that moment, excitement spread across Xu Juren's and Xu Jinhong's faces.

Xu Qingyang swallowed the cold poison from Xu Qingying's body into his own, and his face immediately turned pale. Still, he was not particularly worried, for he had a way to neutralize it.

The next moment.

Xu Qingyang circulated the Great Dao Primordial Chaos Art. In an instant, he refined the cold poison within him into wisps of spiritual energy that filled his limbs and every bone in his body.

Suddenly, Xu Qingyang's cultivation broke through from the seventh level of Foundation Establishment to the middle stage of Blood Moving.

This time, I not only cured the cold poison that plagued my sister for over a decade, but also used it to break through to the middle stage of Blood Moving. What an unexpected delight.

That was what Xu Qingyang thought to himself.

Just then, Xu Juren looked at Xu Qingyang and said excitedly, "Qingyang, my wonderful grandson, you're truly incredible! You cured Qingying's cold poison so effortlessly!"

"Brother Qingyang, your medical skills are amazing. I admire you more and more!"

Xu Jinhong spoke with a broad smile.

Li Xunzhou stared at Xu Qingyang, his face filled with profound shock. I never imagined Xu Qingyang would actually cure Xu Qingying's cold poison!

It seems he's been hiding his abilities all these years!

With his current medical skills, even a Ninth-Rank Physician would fall short of him!

At this thought, Li Xunzhou made a decision.

Thud.

Li Xunzhou dropped to his knees before Xu Qingyang and said with utmost respect, "Divine physician, please accept me as your disciple!"

"Accept a disciple?"

Hearing this, Xu Qingyang glanced at Li Xunzhou and frowned.

The corners of Xu Juren's and Xu Jinhong's mouths twitched at the sight. Li Xunzhou actually wanted to take Xu Qingyang as his master?

But when they considered Xu Qingyang's medical skills, they smiled.

Had they been in Li Xunzhou's place, they could never have brought themselves to do such a thing.

"Physician Li, I'm sorry, but I don't take disciples!"

Xu Qingyang politely refused him outright.

"Very well!"

Hearing this, Li Xunzhou sighed. He knew that continuing to pester Xu Qingyang would only make him dislike him.

Besides, taking someone as his master was not something that could necessarily succeed on the first attempt. He would have to take it slowly.

Then Li Xunzhou bade farewell to Xu Qingyang and the others and left the Xu Family.

Suddenly, Xu Qingying slowly opened her eyes and woke up. Looking bewildered, she said, "Wasn't I in the Library Pavilion just now? Why am I in Willow Tower?"

"Qingying, your cold poison flared up just now!"

Xu Juren spoke.

At his words, Xu Qingying's expression changed drastically. "My cold poison flared up? Then how am I all right now?"

"Qingying, Brother Qingyang saved you, of course!"

Xu Jinhong smiled.

Hearing this, Xu Qingying looked at Xu Qingyang with astonishment filling her eyes.

Doesn't my brother know nothing about medicine?

How did he cure my cold poison?

Could he have been hiding his abilities all this time?

Xu Qingyang smiled. Xu Qingying cupped her delicate hands and said, "Brother, thank you!"

"Ha-ha!"

Xu Qingyang laughed heartily. "There's no need to stand on ceremony with me!"

Xu Qingying smiled sweetly at that. Having an older brother really was wonderful!

Suddenly, something occurred to Xu Qingyang. A strange gleam flashed through his eyes as he stared meaningfully at Xu Qingying. "Qingying, the physician said your cold poison wouldn't flare up again for at least half a year. It's only been half a month. Why did it suddenly return?"

Xu Qingying froze at his words, while a deep chill flashed in Xu Juren's and Xu Jinhong's eyes.

Clearly, their suspicions were the same as Xu Qingyang's.

Coming back to her senses, Xu Qingying said, "Brother, I only remember looking through a Treasure Art when someone wearing a mask suddenly knocked me unconscious. I don't know what they did afterward!"

Just as I thought!

Someone was trying to harm my sister...

Xu Qingyang said, "Qingying, if my guess is right, they wanted to use the cold poison in your body to secretly kill you!"

Hearing this, fury blazed in Xu Qingying's eyes, and she cursed, "That damned mongrel! How dare they plot against me like this!"

"If I catch that mongrel, I'll cut them to pieces with a thousand cuts before the hatred in my heart can be quelled!"

At that moment, Xu Juren looked at Xu Qingyang and asked, "Qingyang, what do you intend to do about this?"

Xu Qingyang grinned. "Since they want Qingying dead, we'll do the opposite and announce that her cold poison has only been suppressed!"

"I'm sure the culprit will strike again before long!"

"When that happens, we'll catch them like a turtle in a jar!"

Xu Juren could not help smiling. "Qingyang, that's a truly brilliant move. No matter how cunning our opponent is, they'll likely fall into the trap!"

Xu Jinhong and Xu Qingying both gave Xu Qingyang a thumbs-up.
