Chapter Eighty-Seven: Say Thank You

  Su Binglin saw Xuan Qi and walked up to him with great familiarity, saying: "Xuan Qi, my little friend, I didn't expect you to be here too. If you hadn't shown up, I was about to pay a personal visit to your home."

  For his granddaughter's illness, Su Binglin was worried to death. All along, he had been worried that Su Mengxue would disappear from this world even earlier than him.

  For this, he kept trying hard, just hoping to save his granddaughter's life. When he learned that Xuan Qi would use the Qi Guan technique, a glimmer of hope rose in his heart again.

  However, later on, Xuan Qi directly returned to the countryside. He also didn't rush to urge and look for Xuan Qi. But in private, he conducted an investigation of Xuan Qi and knew some of his recent situations.

  Excitedly patting Xuán Qí's shoulder, Sū Bǐng Lín praised: "Top scorer in the college entrance examination, really impressive!"

  People of the older generation, such as Su Binglun, attach great importance to academic performance. For them, being a top scorer in the college entrance examination is highly valuable and glorious, just like being a zhuangyuan in ancient times.

  Hong Qin looked at Su Bingyun and Xue Tiannan as they appeared, exchanged a brief greeting with them and Xue Tiannan, then quietly retreated to the side, hiding himself.

  Her identity may seem dazzling to outsiders, but compared to people like Xue Tian Nan and Su Bing Lun, she is still far, far behind.

  At this time, she naturally couldn't steal their thunder.

  Xuan Qi was about to speak, and Xue Tian Nan also came over with a pleased expression, saying: "High school champion, great. I'm asking you, Xuan Qi, have you thought about which major to apply for? Why don't you choose the medical profession? I know some people in the medical field who should be happy to take you on as a student. Later on, you can study both Chinese and Western medicine together, integrate them, and make this national treasure shine even brighter, bringing glory to traditional Chinese medicine."

  Xuan Qi heard Xue Tian Nan's passionate words and couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile, saying: "Grandfather Xue, I plan to choose computer science as my future development direction. As for medical skills, I don't have much interest in developing them. However, I will continue to study medicine as promised."

  Xue Tiannan heard Xuan Qi's words and sighed, "With your talent, not learning medicine would be a waste of heaven's gift. You should know that you have the ability to practice Qigong, which would make your learning twice as effective as ordinary people."

  Xue Tiannan, as the honorary chairman of the Huaxia Traditional Chinese Medicine Association and the executive director of the World Federation of Traditional Chinese Medicine Societies, naturally hoped that Xuan Qi could follow him to learn medicine.

  Although he didn't dare ask Xuan Qi to acknowledge him as his master, he still believed that if Xuan Qi followed him and learned some medical skills, at least there would be a real master-disciple relationship.

  This idea of finding a good seedling is really too difficult.

  The Xuanqi in front of him is absolutely a good seedling for studying medicine. However, he surprisingly has little interest in studying medicine, which makes Xue Tiannan very depressed.

  He had originally hoped to develop Xuan Qi as a disciple of Qing Nang Sect and spread the teachings far and wide. Now, this idea seems somewhat wishful thinking.

  Xuan Qi said: "Uncle Xue, life has its limits but knowledge is boundless. I have limited talent and can only selectively give up some things to learn. However, I am still very interested in medicine. If you don't mind, I hope to follow you in the future to learn about medicine. And at that time, I will also teach you some things. What do you think?"

  "I'm not worthy of taking you as an apprentice. Since you said so, fine! If you don't study seriously later on, I'll be coming after you to make trouble."

  Upon hearing Xuan Qi's words, Xue Tian Nan was extremely delighted. Initially, he had considered taking Xuan Qi as his apprentice. However, after witnessing Xuan Qi's prowess, he abandoned this notion.

  He has long since put himself on an equal footing with Xuan Qi.

  "Hmph, it sounds like Grandfather Xue is begging you." Su Mengxue said discontentedly upon hearing the conversation between Xuan Qi and Xue Tian Nan, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in her clear eyes.

  She was very unhappy with Xuan Qi's attitude of pushing three and blocking four.

  Xuan Qi turned his head to look at Su Mang Xue, only to find that she was staring at him with puffed up cheeks, her two cheekbones bulging out in a very cute manner, unlike her usual icy demeanor.

  Su Mengxue has been suffering from a terminal illness since childhood, so she can't do too strenuous exercise and won't have intense emotions. All along, her personality has been very cold.

  When she meets someone unfamiliar, she is too lazy to even speak, and doesn't know how to make small talk.

  And with her status and position, she doesn't need to worry about this aspect either.

  As the eldest daughter of the Su family, she doesn't need to worry about this at all.

  Looking at his granddaughter's expression, Su Binglun smiled and said: "Xuan Qi little friend, you really have skills, and you've gotten my precious granddaughter all riled up. Usually, we call her the Ice Snow Doll. Under normal circumstances, it's rare for anything to get a rise out of her. You're really something!"

  Upon hearing Su Binglun's words, Xuan Qi couldn't help but smile awkwardly, while Su Mengxue pouted and said: "Who got angry? I was just casually saying something..."

  In response to Su Binglun's teasing, Xuan Qi didn't know what to say. He turned to Xue Tiannan and said: "I carefully searched through our family's ancient books and found that the Xuan Yin Jue Mai is very difficult to cure. I don't know what method you plan to use, Master Xue, to treat this Xuan Yin Jue Mai."

  Xue Tiannan smiled bitterly and said, "I also find it very difficult to completely cure this mysterious yin absolute pulse. However, I have a method that can alleviate the suffering of those who suffer from this mysterious yin absolute pulse. This technique is not something ordinary people can accomplish. Only by mastering the art of discerning qi can one understand the direction in which the cold energy flows within the body, and temporarily relieve the pain caused by this illness."

  Xue Tiannan's face was full of helplessness at the mention of this.

  Although his medical skills are excellent and he has half of the "Qing Nang Jing" to rely on, wanting to treat this mysterious and severe case is really a bit inadequate.

  Moreover, he didn't even grasp the art of Qi diagnosis, let alone be able to help Su Mingxue. Now that Xuan Qi has appeared, it's just in time for him to help rescue Su Mingxue.

  "As long as there's anything I can help with, I'll definitely go all out to help." Xue Tian Nan said, patting his chest in guarantee.

  Upon hearing Xuan Qi's words, Su Binglin hesitated for a moment before saying: "Actually, there is one thing I need your help with. I want to ask you to take care of my granddaughter. In the future, she will be relying on you."

  "What future is going to depend on me?" Xuan Qi said with some tension after hearing Su Binglun's words. He always felt that Su Binglun's words had a sense of entrusting his life to him.

  Xue Tiannan said, "Because the Xuanyin pulse occurs every night, the patient will be in extreme pain. If we use the acupuncture method from our 'Qingnang Jing' to seal off the cold energy, it can alleviate the patient's suffering and prevent her from feeling too miserable. Therefore, we hope you can accompany Xiaoxue every day and stay with her."

  "Occasionally helping out is okay, but I still have to go to school, and besides, she's a girl from a good family, living together with me wouldn't be quite right!"

  Xuan Qi felt a bit embarrassed after hearing Xue Tian Nan and Su Bing Lin's words.

  Su Binglin said, "Actually, I didn't want to bother you like this. But in recent days, Xiaoxue's Xuan Yin Jue Mai has been acting up more and more severely, and it's already turning into Liu Yin Jue Mai. This way, she'll be adding to her suffering every day. If we can use acupuncture to suppress the cold air a bit, we might still be able to extend her lifespan. Otherwise...she probably won't last much longer..."

  At the mention of this, Su Binglun was overcome with grief. He was extremely fond of his precious granddaughter and had always treasured her like a pearl in the palm of his hand.

  Now seeing his granddaughter in trouble, he might even die before him, and he is extremely distressed.

  "Alright, I'll help with this matter. As long as I can do it, I will definitely help." At this time, he couldn't refuse anything either, and had to agree to Su Binglun's request.

  Su Binglin wiped away the tears on his face, somewhat embarrassedly facing Xuan Qi and said: "Sorry, I lost my composure. Originally we were planning to visit your home in person, now that you've agreed, there's no need to go to the Xuan family anymore."

  Su Binglin and Su Mengxue came to Nanxiang Province from Hangzhou, hoping to persuade Xuan Qi to help them. Now that Xuan Qi has agreed to help them, they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

  Xuan Qi was willing to help himself, and Su Mian Xue, who was as elegant and proud as a sword orchid, also spoke up: "Thank you."

  Su Mengxue had always been a proud and aloof person, with her previous childhood being smooth sailing and carefree. However, after discovering that she had contracted the mysterious and incurable disease of Xuan Yin Jue Mai, her entire life underwent a drastic change.

  The pain of the night alone was enough to make her unbearable. But compared to this physical suffering, the worried and anxious expressions of her grandfather and parents, as well as the fear of death, made it even more unbearable.

  She can't see the hope for the future, feels like life has lost its hope and lacks motivation.

  Many times, Su Mengxue thought of committing suicide. However, she knew that if she were to die, her parents and relatives would be extremely heartbroken.

  Thinking of her white-haired grandfather, who had been busy running around for her illness, Su Mingxue felt an unbearable sense of guilt.

  For her family, she must live.

  Although Su Mengxue looks very weak, she is actually a very persistent person.

  Xuan Qi heard Su Meng Xue's words of gratitude and couldn't help but feel a little surprised and delighted.

  In his impression, Su Mengxue was the same as the ice mountain beauty Su Xianzi before her rebirth, who did not eat or drink anything worldly. At that time, Su Mengxue always had a cold and elegant appearance no matter what she did, and it was impossible to see her thank anyone else.

  As a goddess in dreams, she is forever so high and unattainable, so sacred and pure.

  Now, this otaku's goddess has thanked him in person, fulfilling his long-held wish.

  At least now he still has the opportunity to make up for Su Mingxue's sudden retirement, and can let her have the chance to continue shining on stage.
