Peerless Medical Emperor

Chapter 196: Golden Phoenix Thirteen Needles

No father can bear to see his child suffer and be tormented.

"Yes, the Demon Flower Strange Heart Insect. It grows within the meridians, so to clear it out, we must lure it from them."

"However, I have already cleared most of Miss Luo’s meridians, so the pain will be reduced to a minimum."

"You can rest assured on that point."

Chen Qingdi said.

"Good, good, good. Thank you, then."

Luo Tianfeng nodded.

Luo Tianfeng stared intently at Luo Yunyan.

’If anything really happened to Luo Yunyan, he wouldn’t want to go on living.’

"How long do I need to wait?"

"Before my daughter wakes up?"

Luo Tianfeng asked.

"Half an hour."

"That’s when the effects of the Golden Phoenix Thirteen Needles will truly begin to manifest."

Chen Qingdi said.

"Alright, Mr. Chen. I can wait for half an hour."

Beads of sweat now covered Luo Tianfeng’s forehead.

He was just that nervous.

Seeing this, Luo Bin quickly took out a handkerchief and handed it to his father.

"Father, wipe your sweat. I’m sure our sister will be fine."

Luo Bin said.

"Mm, your sister will be fine. I believe that too."

Luo Tianfeng said.

「Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.」

"Half an hour has passed."

"Why hasn’t my sister woken up yet?"

Luo Ke looked toward Chen Qingdi.

Luo Tianfeng also looked at Chen Qingdi.

"Don’t be so anxious."

"Once I remove the silver needles, Miss Luo should wake up."

Chen Qingdi said.

"Alright, alright."

Luo Tianfeng nodded quickly.

Chen Qingdi removed the silver needles one by one.

Just as he’d predicted, Luo Yunyan’s eyes soon fluttered open.

Seeing everyone gathered around her, Luo Yunyan seemed a bit shy.

"Dad, why are you here? And why are there so many people?"

Luo Yunyan asked.

Her voice was weak, but she was conscious.

Overjoyed, Luo Tianfeng immediately walked over.

He briefly explained what had happened.

"My dear daughter, how are you feeling now?"

Luo Tianfeng asked.

"I feel much better. Thank you, Dr. Chen."

Luo Yunyan took another look at Chen Qingdi.

Chen Qingdi gave a polite nod in response.

"Mr. Chen, I will be sure to thank you properly for this."

Luo Tianfeng said, his face beaming.

"It’s too early to celebrate. Miss Luo has only just woken up."

"Look, the Demon Flower on her face hasn’t completely faded."

"This is only the beginning."

Chen Qingdi said.

Of course, Luo Tianfeng knew this as well.

Still, this was the best Luo Yunyan had been in days—or even in the last month or two.

"Dr. Chen, what exactly is wrong with me?"

Luo Yunyan didn’t understand her own condition and was very curious.

"You don’t know about your own illness?"

Chen Qingdi looked at Luo Yunyan.

"I’ve always been very healthy, and I’ve consistently practiced martial arts with the family’s Tributors."

"My constitution has always been excellent."

"My father can attest to that."

Luo Yunyan glanced at Luo Tianfeng.

Luo Tianfeng nodded quickly.

"Yes, my daughter has always been quite healthy. But about half a year ago, she suddenly started to grow weaker."

"We didn’t think much of it at first."

"But later, it gradually became difficult for her to even walk."

"This past month, she hasn’t been able to walk at all. Her mind has grown clouded, and on the rare occasions she’s lucid, she just screams and thrashes about. Moments of peace have been few and far between."

Luo Tianfeng said.

He, too, was very curious about the origin of his daughter’s illness.

"Miss Luo, think carefully. How did you get this illness?"

"Has anything unusual happened to you recently?"

Chen Qingdi said, looking at Luo Yunyan.

"Yes, sister, think hard."

"This strange illness can’t have come from nowhere."

Luo Ke added.

Luo Yunyan sank into her memories, but after thinking for a long time, she couldn’t come up with anything.

"I really can’t remember... About half a year ago, I took a fall, and it seems my health just got worse and worse after that."

Luo Yunyan said.

"I know about that fall. I believe you fell by the little pavilion in the backyard, didn’t you?"

Luo Tianfeng said.

"Mm."

Luo Yunyan nodded.

When Luo Yunyan nodded, Chen Qingdi’s gaze suddenly grew intense.

"Can you take me there for a look?"

Chen Qingdi asked.

Since Chen Qingdi had made a request, Luo Tianfeng naturally couldn’t ignore it.

So Luo Tianfeng nodded immediately.

"Luo Ke, take Mr. Chen to have a look."

Luo Tianfeng said.

"Yes."

Luo Ke nodded curtly.

Soon, Luo Ke led Chen Qingdi into the Luo Family’s backyard. Arriving at a small pavilion, Luo Ke stopped.

"This should be the place. Take a look."

Luo Ke said.

"Alright."

Chen Qingdi nodded and looked around.

He didn’t notice anything unusual.

However, to one side of the pavilion, there was a small pond.

There were no fish in the pond, and as Chen Qingdi approached, he caught a strange smell wafting from the water.

"It seems no one maintains this pond," Chen Qingdi commented.

"That’s right. People don’t usually come to the backyard."

"The structures back here are all old-fashioned."

"So naturally, they haven’t been maintained."

"Father was originally planning to seal off this whole backyard, but my sister is very fond of it and likes to come for a stroll now and then, so he didn’t."

Luo Ke explained.

"I see."

Chen Qingdi nodded slowly.

"It seems Patriarch Luo treats your sister the best on a normal day."

Chen Qingdi said with a smile.

"Of course. My sister has always been the one in control of the Luo Family’s power."

"Father rarely gets involved. My sister is just that capable; she handles everything with ease."

"Plus, my sister is a Master Realm expert now. I bet you couldn’t tell, could you?"

Luo Ke said.

"I really couldn’t tell."

"Now that your sister has fallen ill, your father has to handle many of the family’s affairs. That’s certainly a lot of pressure."

"But from what I can see, you and your brother are ready to shoulder the responsibility yourselves."

Chen Qingdi said with a smile.

"We can’t compare to our sister. She’s been more exceptional than us ever since we were children."

"We both grew up under her guidance."

Luo Ke said with a laugh.
