Chapter 106: Liu Jiaoxue’s Parents
“Jiaoxue, you’re back? Who are the people behind you? Don’t you know that outsiders cannot enter here?”
“As soon as other families learn about your grandfather’s situation, countless hidden knives will be aimed at the Liu family!”
Upon hearing this, the surrounding members of the Liu family frowned.
“Jiaoxue, your Second Uncle makes a good point. Why did you bring back some unsavory people? Your grandfather is in a critical state; what will we do if news leaks out?”
Liu Jiaoxue took a deep breath.
“Second Uncle, I found a skilled doctor to treat Grandfather!”
Upon hearing Liu Jiaoxue’s words, Liu Yunhe narrowed his eyes.
“Jiaoxue, don’t make trouble at a time like this!”
“When your grandfather was still conscious, we didn’t care how you acted!”
“Where did you find this skilled doctor?”
“I have invited the renowned healer from Jiangnan to help your grandfather prolong his life. During this time, our Liu family needs to think of an escape route quickly!”
Liu Jiaoxue’s face paled upon hearing Liu Yunhe’s words.
“Second Uncle, you can’t do this! Mr. Bai really can save Grandfather! I took a long time to invite him! Let me in!”
However, the other members of the Liu family in the room looked at Liu Jiaoxue indifferently.
Their previous affection for her had completely vanished.
“Second Aunt, Third Uncle, Third Aunt, Cousin, why are you stopping me?”
Liu Jiaoxue looked at everyone in disbelief.
Liu Jiaoxue’s Third Uncle glanced lightly at her, then turned to Bai Chen’s youthful face.
“Jiaoxue, listen to your Second Uncle. Quickly go back out and stay put; don’t run around.”
“And tell these people you invited that today’s news must not leak out, or the Liu family will pursue this matter to the end!”
Liu Jiaoxue’s face turned white.
“You, you all!”
She never expected that after finally inviting Bai Chen, who could pull her grandfather back from the brink of death, she would be stopped by her own family!
“Just believe me this once, will you?”
The little demoness, who had once acted like a spoiled child in the family, now humbly pleaded.
Seeing this scene, the others felt a slight tug in their hearts but still firmly rejected Liu Jiaoxue.
In their eyes, what could a doctor invited by a young girl possibly do?
They thought he was just a scammer looking to take their money!
At this moment, Bai Chen remained calm and unfazed.
He originally came for the medicinal herb that Liu Jiaoxue mentioned.
As for saving someone, if he could, he would, and if not, then so be it.
This group of people did not trust her, and she was unwilling to explain.
Medicinal herbs could be found anywhere; she did not need this specific one from the Liu family.
At the same time, Zhao Ya felt a twinge of anger.
She could not stand to see Mr. Bai being doubted.
Clearly, Mr. Bai’s medical skills were exceptional, and this was well-established in the Zhao family, yet these people did not believe him!
This left Zhao Ya feeling quite frustrated.
Beside her, Fang Yu felt even angrier.
She wanted to reveal her identity to support her mentor.
As a disciple of the Number One Divine Doctor in the Nine Provinces, Hu Lin, and the Envoy of the Medicinal King Valley, she deserved respect wherever she went.
Yet her mentor, the Number One Divine Doctor, was being looked down upon!
Could a renowned healer from Jiangnan, who appeared out of nowhere, really surpass them?
Just then, Jiang Yuan Ji rushed in from outside.
“Second Master, the renowned healer from Jiangnan has arrived!”
Hearing Jiang Yuan Ji’s words, Liu Yunhe immediately stood up.
“Third Brother, come with me to welcome him!”
Liu Jiaoxue’s Third Uncle, Liu Zehai, nodded and followed Liu Yunhe out.
At that moment, Jiang Yuan Ji also noticed Bai Chen and felt a bit surprised.
“Mr. Bai!”
Bai Chen lightly nodded and then turned to Liu Jiaoxue, saying:
“Since you have already found a doctor, I will take my leave.”
Bai Chen felt slightly regretful that he could not teach Zhao Ya and Fang Yu medicine.
The ailing Liu Wensong was actually a good subject for them to learn from.
It was perfect for demonstrating Destiny Nine Needles to help both of them learn.
Upon hearing Bai Chen’s intention to leave, Liu Jiaoxue’s expression changed.
“Mr. Bai, wait! Can you stay a little longer?”
“No damn renowned healer from Jiangnan can save my grandfather! Only you can save him! Please wait a moment!”
Bai Chen glanced at the bed where Liu Wensong lay and said softly:
“Liu Jiaoxue, you should know your grandfather is nearing his time. Birth, aging, sickness, and death are natural aspects of life that cannot be changed by human effort. It’s best to accept reality sooner.”
Tears streamed down Liu Jiaoxue’s cheeks.
“Mr. Bai, I know what you’re saying, but I lost my parents when I was young and have no idea where they went. It was my grandfather who raised me.”
“My grandfather worried that I would envy others for having parents while I did not, and he gave me the best of everything. That’s why I can’t bear to see him leave.”
“I would not be here today without my grandfather. If my grandfather didn’t have me, he wouldn’t have these last years. I haven’t had the chance to spend time with him; all I want is to be with him and cherish this final opportunity…”
Hearing Liu Jiaoxue’s words, Bai Chen momentarily lost his focus.
He couldn’t help but think of his youngest disciple.
She was also a quirky little girl, just like a mischievous little fairy.
But both she and Liu Jiaoxue expressed genuine feelings from the heart, and they shared many similarities.
Fang Yu and Zhao Ya, upon hearing Liu Jiaoxue’s words, also felt their eyes grow warm.
Women are often tender-hearted, and after listening to Liu Jiaoxue’s story, they looked at her with deep sympathy.
“Xuexue…”
Just then, Liu Wensong on the bed let out a soft murmur.
Liu Jiaoxue’s words had reached his ears as well.
As a peak innate expert, Liu Wensong’s vitality was still vigorous.
Though his life was nearing its end, he was not in a state of confusion.
Upon hearing Liu Wensong’s voice, Liu Jiaoxue quickly rolled over to his side.
She tightly clasped Liu Wensong’s hand.
“Grandpa, I’m here!”
Liu Wensong slowly turned his head.
Looking at the tear-streaked face of Liu Jiaoxue, he gently reached out a wrinkled hand to wipe her tears away.
“Jiaoxue, this young man is right.”
“Birth, aging, sickness, and death are natural parts of life. I have reached the end of my road.”
Hearing Liu Wensong’s words, Liu Jiaoxue cried even harder.
“Grandpa, I don’t want you to go! I haven’t spent enough time with you! I promise I won’t run around outside again!”
Fang Yu and Zhao Ya were moved, feeling a tightness in their noses and tears welling in their eyes.
Bai Chen, on the other hand, remained calm.
Having lived for so long, he had witnessed many scenes of parting and loss; his heart had long been…
“Sigh!”
Bai Chen let out a small sigh.
No matter how many times he had seen such moments, he still felt a tug at his heart.
After all, he was human.
Being human meant having emotions.
At that moment, Liu Wensong continued to wipe Liu Jiaoxue’s tears, saying:
“Xuexue, I won’t last much longer. Before I go, I need to tell you the secret about your parents.”
However, Liu Jiaoxue was not in the mood to listen to this; she simply clung to Liu Wensong and sobbed.
“Xuexue, I have been waiting for you to come back. I didn’t want your Second Uncle and Third Uncle to know about your parents.”
“Your parents…”
