Seeing Liu Rui in such a terrible condition, Qianxi couldn't help but feel distressed. "First expel the blood clots, then apply the needles," Xiao Yifei said, picking up a silver needle and slowly inserting it into a blood clot on Liu Rui's chest.

Instantly, the blood clot turned into blood and flowed out through the hole made by the silver needle. The blood was very dark, obviously unhealthy. Just like that, Xiao Yifei broke the blood clots on Liu Rui one by one, and the blood stained the bed sheets, making them look rather bad.

However, there was no time to worry about that now. After cleaning the blood clots from Liu Rui with a towel, Qianxi began the needling process. Xiao Yifei heated the silver needle over a fire, then rolled the needle head over some prepared herbs, letting the herbs adhere to the needle.

Xiao Yifei inserted the herb-coated silver needle into a pressure point on Liu Rui's body. Upon doing so, Liu Rui, who had been unresponsive for a long time, let out a deep grunt, clearly sensing something. Seeing Liu Rui react, Qianxi immediately felt relieved.

Earlier, when Xiao Yifei was dealing with the blood clots, Liu Rui hadn't reacted at all, which worried Qianxi. But now it seemed her worry was unfounded.

The acupuncture took a long time because each time Xiao Yifei inserted the needle, he had to manipulate it for several minutes. This is why the needling process took so long. It was only in the late afternoon that Xiao Yifei finally exhaled slowly, clearly indicating he had finished the procedure.

Seeing Xiao Yifei had done everything, Qianxi hurriedly came over to check, "Xiao Yifei, is Liu Rui okay?" Unlike before, Qianxi asked carefully. Hearing this, Xiao Yifei shook his head and said, "The injury is stabilized, but the internal force is still present."

What Xiao Yifei referred to as force was something Qianxi understood well. It wasn't the force from her original cultivation technique, which is why she had no choice but to find Xiao Yifei since she couldn't resolve this force.

"First, help him wash up," Xiao Yifei said and then turned to leave Liu Rui's room. Looking at Liu Rui lying on the bed, Qianxi ignored the dirtiness and picked him up, heading to the bathroom.

Perhaps for an average person, a woman carrying a man would be unimaginable, but for Qianxi, it was a piece of cake.

At this moment, Xiao Yifei came to the living room, slowly sat on the sofa, and closed his eyes to give himself a massage. It was said that the things in Beijing were all settled, yet at this critical moment, such a thing happened, truly frustrating.

Not sure how long he stayed there, Qianxi, who finished helping Liu Rui wash, slowly came over and sat opposite Xiao Yifei. "Is it done?" Xiao Yifei asked without opening his eyes, to which Qianxi softly replied with a hum.

After a while, Xiao Yifei slowly opened his eyes, noticing Qianxi sitting with her head down, seemingly in thought, but judging by her expression, she appeared to feel guilty. Seeing this, Xiao Yifei didn't know what to say, just sighed.

"Now, with Liu Rui's inner force, perhaps someone even more skilled is needed to resolve it." After a while, Qianxi slowly said to Xiao Yifei. Hearing this, Xiao Yifei nodded, but was a bit troubled. Qianxi was already so skilled, where to find someone better, especially with similar inner strength?

However, thinking of this, Xiao Yifei suddenly thought of someone, and at this moment, Qianxi also glanced at Xiao Yifei.

"My mother might be able to!"

"Your mother might be able to!"

The two spoke almost in unison, suggesting that Liu Rui's current inner force might only be resolved by Ci Xin, Qianxi's mother.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yifei couldn't help but look at Qianxi and said, "It seems I still need to find your mother in the end." Hearing this, Qianxi couldn't help but recall the time Xiao Yifei mentioned his friend being kidnapped, as it all started when Xiao Yifei was investigating Qianxi's mother, leading to his friend being kidnapped!

"What should we do now?" Qianxi looked at Xiao Yifei, urgently wanting a solution. Xiao Yifei thought for a while, then slowly said, "We must first find your mother."

After saying this, Xiao Yifei frowned, realizing that saying it was easy but doing so might not be so simple. It was known that Xiao Yifei went to Yunshen Town to find Qianxi's mother but ended up causing Tang Rong to be kidnapped, with the situation still unclear.

Thinking of Tang Rong, Xiao Yifei felt a burst of worry. The last time he received a call, the person said they would release Tang Rong if he stopped investigating, yet when Xiao Yifei returned to Beijing, Tang Rong's phone remained unreachable. This made Xiao Yifei quite upset, but now he could only comply with others' demands since Tang Rong was in their hands.

Hearing Xiao Yifei say they needed to find his mother, Qianxi nodded. However, just after nodding, she suddenly thought of something and said to Xiao Yifei, "Xiao Yifei, weren't you able to cure my grandfather's illness? You..."

Hearing only half of what she said, Xiao Yifei understood what Qianxi wanted to say. She probably hoped he could cure Liu Rui, but such things were clear to Xiao Yifei himself. He could indeed heal Liu Rui's injuries, but the internal force in Liu Rui's body wasn't something a doctor could resolve.

So after Qianxi said this, Xiao Yifei hurriedly shook his head and explained the reason. Hearing this, Qianxi also understood. Given the current situation, it seemed finding Qianxi's mother was the only solution. Thinking of this, Qianxi began to feel remorseful.

Seeing this, Xiao Yifei quietly sighed and said, "Alright, don't be sad. Let's inform everyone about this first." Hearing Xiao Yifei say this, Qianxi looked conflicted because, after all, this matter happened because of her, and telling everyone might lead to differing opinions about her.

However, many hands make light work, and it was better to let everyone know than trying to solve it alone. So Qianxi nodded without arguing. Qianxi didn't realize that if she were her former self, she would have disagreed, even becoming furious. Yet, now, she agreed.

Seeing this, Xiao Yifei didn't say anything further and left first. After leaving, Xiao Yifei called Hu Jingtang.

"Hello, Elder Hu."

Hearing it was Xiao Yifei calling, Elder Hu smiled and asked what it was about. Xiao Yifei hesitated, not immediately telling Hu Jingtang, and instead asked about Hu Jingtang's health, as his chronic illness had recently relapsed.

Thanks to Xiao Yifei's treatment, Hu Jingtang was fine. After hearing this, Xiao Yifei mused for a moment and slowly explained to Hu Jingtang about Qianxi severely injuring Liu Rui.

"What did you say?" Hearing Xiao Yifei's words, Hu Jingtang almost fainted. Suppressing his anger, Hu Jingtang asked about Liu Rui's condition. Hearing this, Xiao Yifei hesitated to answer but couldn't avoid Hu Jingtang's inquiries, so he explained the situation and shared the solution with Elder Hu.
