Top-class Bodyguard

"Then I'll hang up."

"Hey, hey, hey, you little punk, I just said I didn't know, but I didn't say I didn't know how to find this thing." Over the phone, Han Buyan was almost infuriated by Ren Feng. Is this how you treat an old man?

Ren Feng said, "Old man, I knew you were awesome, now hurry up, I'm waiting anxiously here."

"Hmph." A smug hum came from the other end of the phone. Ren Feng could almost picture Han Buyan's mustache twitching, clearly pleased by Ren Feng's words.

"Hold on, I'll get someone to look into it for you."

After hanging up, Han Buyan immediately made a call to the Celestial Medicine Sect.

"Hey, hey, it's me, get your Sect Leader on the phone, yes, quickly, I need to check something."

Ren Feng was still waiting, feeling uneasy inside. That tiny black spot in Mo Yuqi's heart seemed very peculiar, and because it was in her heart, he couldn't handle it recklessly. If he provoked it into a frenzy and it harmed Mo Yuqi, it would be terrible.

Time felt like ages passing, and Ren Feng waited quietly. Finally, the phone rang.

Immediately, Ren Feng answered the phone, and Han Buyan's voice came through.

"There's good news and bad news."

"Usually when someone starts a conversation like this, it's almost always bad news. Old man, stop keeping me hanging."

"Alright, here's the deal. We've found the origin of this thing, and it turns out to be quite shocking. It's called a Heart-Parasite, which, as the name suggests, usually resides in the heart. It's so tiny that it's hard to detect."

Heart-Parasite?

"The Celestial Medicine Sect rummaged through every text they had to find it in an obscure book, and now I have to give you the bad news. The bad news is: Heart-Parasites have been extinct for thousands of years. The last recorded appearance was during the Yanhuang Period. Kid, congratulations, you've won the lottery."

Ren Feng was furious: "Old man, what's the solution then?"

"You must understand, this thing is from the Ancient Times. Back in those days, it was just a small insect, easily crushed underfoot. But we're not in the Ancient Era, so basically, there's no solution."

"Impossible! There must be a way."

"Heart-Parasites have a certain defense mechanism against True Qi and spiritual attacks, and since they dwell in the heart, if pushed too hard, they can pierce right through the heart, which is game over. Of course, for people of the Ancient Era, even a pierced heart wasn't a big deal, since they could live through it."

Clearly, directly dealing with this bug is no longer an option.

"Is there really no way?"

"Hey, don't be anxious. There is a way. After some research, it turns out that Heart-Parasites are actually quite easy to deal with. You just need a pill made from a plant called Silver Withered Grass. Once ingested, it can kill the Heart-Parasite."

"Is it because we don't have the materials?"

"No materials. With the advancements in technology, the destruction of nature has worsened, making many natural treasures disappear. This Silver Withered Grass is one of those things you can't even dream of finding."

Ren Feng was speechless: "Old man, can you tell me a practical method?"

"Apart from Silver Withered Grass, basically any potent pill from the Ancient Times would do. These would cleanse the body when consumed, and the enormous medicinal power could kill the Heart-Parasite. Almost all Ancient Era pills could achieve this."

Ren Feng frowned: "But, old man, you know there's no way I can find any pills from the Ancient Era now. Can't we make them ourselves?"

"Don't even think about it. We don't have the recipes. You must understand, we are too far removed from that period, and many things have not been passed down completely. Even the slightest deviation can lead to huge differences in efficacy, turning a lifesaving medicine into a poison. The pills I make cannot cleanse the heart and don't purify the entire body."

Ren Feng fell silent: "Old man, after all this, you're saying there's no solution?"

"No, there's one more way."

Han Buyan's tone became serious: "Have you heard the news recently? In the waters of the South Pacific Ocean, an ancient relic site has appeared?"

Ren Feng's eyes suddenly brightened: "I know."

"If the intelligence is correct, this ancient relic site is unexplored. Inside, there must be pills. You just need to bring some out—the basic ones are fine. Give them to the person to cleanse their body, and they will kill the Heart-Parasite."

"I understand."

Ren Feng nodded.

"I was planning to go myself, but I'm tied up with other things. If you're going in, be cautious and prudent. Ancient relic sites are no joke."

Han Buyan said solemnly: "Remember, even the weakest martial artist from the Ancient Era could essentially kill you instantly."

"Alright."

After hanging up, resolve filled Ren Feng's eyes. It looked like he had to go to the ancient relic site.

He walked back to the ward where Ning Lan immediately approached him.

"How did it go?"

Ning Lan's face was full of anxiety.

"Don't worry." Ren Feng smiled faintly, "I've already found a way to eliminate it. But I need to leave for a while to find the necessary items for the procedure. This process may take about a month."

"That long?"

"Yes, so during this month, please take care of Yuqi. I'll be back within a month. Also, Yuqi will revert to her previous condition after some time, so don't let the doctors perform any transplants. The problem is not with her heart."

Ren Feng said seriously. The Heart-Parasite was extremely cautious; just a slight probe had caused a change. During a transplant, if it moved elsewhere in the body and returned to the heart after surgery, there would be no effect.

"Okay."

Ning Lan nodded.

"I'm counting on you. I'll be back within a month."

After saying this, Ren Feng moved to Mo Yuqi's side, gently stroked her cheek, then turned and left.

After leaving the hospital, Ren Feng immediately sent a message to Long Yue.

This time, he had to go to the ancient relic site.

In a short while, Long Yue replied.

"Alright, we leave tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Ren Feng looked grave as he got into a taxi and returned to Liou Rumei's place.

Mo Yuqi's heart condition came as a bit of a surprise, but whatever the risk, as long as there's a glimmer of hope, he had to try. Whether it's a dragon's den or a tiger's lair, he would venture into it!
