Jin Shiyi's words were powerful and resounding, like a giant hammer striking the heart, stirring up ripples of shock.

The air seemed to freeze at that moment, with only his impassioned question echoing and resonating in the vast emptiness, a truly deafening statement.

Wu Tian's eyes were deep and unfathomable, filled with a complex mix of emotions. This sudden accusation not only caught him off guard, but he also hadn't expected Jin Lingyun's feelings to have deepened to this extent.

“Senior Jin, I…” Wu Tian hesitated, knowing that any explanation would be pale and powerless at this moment, but he did not want the misunderstanding to deepen further. “I have always cared for my senior sister like a brother and sister, and I have never had any intention of overstepping my bounds. As for the vow she made, I knew nothing about it and never had any intention of bewitching her.”

Jin Shiyi's lips curled into a cold smile, a smile that concealed a deep sarcasm towards the coldness and warmth of the world. "A vow is not a joke. Now that you are married, you should abide by your duty and not let innocent people get caught in the quagmire of emotions. How can my Jin family's precious daughter be so easily degraded?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions varied and complex, never expecting the underlying entanglements to be so perplexing.

What's even more puzzling is why the Jin family's daughter would have such deep affection for Wu Tianhuai, an emotion that transcends common sense and the constraints of social status.

Rumors circulate that Ye Chuan, the young master of the Dragon Capture Hall, is of illustrious status and has already been betrothed to Jin Lingyun, making him far more noble than Wu Tian.

However, reality proved to be quite surprising.

"Don't think you can dispel my doubts with a few words." Jin Shiyi spoke coldly, his tone full of disbelief. "If there weren't other hidden reasons, how could Lingyun have resolutely rejected the marriage proposal from the Dragon Capture Hall, and ended up in this situation today?"

Seeing this, Liu Erhe quickly interjected, his tone tinged with urgency: "Does Elder Jin mean that Miss Jin is forced into this situation by marriage?"

Jin Shiyi let out a heavy sigh, his anger barely concealed: "That's exactly it! It's because of a conflict with her family's arranged marriage that she ended up like this."

Having said that, his gaze shot towards Wu Tian like a sharp sword, and he roared angrily: "It was you who pushed Ling Yun into this endless abyss!"

Wu Tian sighed softly, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

Although he didn't understand Jin Lingyun's true intentions, he vaguely felt that there might be a more complex truth hidden behind this turmoil.

Her actions were more like a struggle against fate than a simple emotional entanglement.

“Senior Jin, I am well aware of my awkward position in this matter, but I swear, I have never overstepped my bounds in relation to my senior sister, however…”

Wu Tian paused for a moment, then continued, "I respect my senior sister's choice and can understand the unspeakable bitterness behind it. Marriage should be a ship of love sailing to the shore of happiness, but unfortunately it has become a pawn in the exchange of family interests. Who can easily bear this burden?"

His words, though light as a feather, contained an unwavering resolve, as clear and resolute as the first ray of sunlight piercing through the thin mist at dawn.

"How much do you really understand about the hardships of life?" Jin Shiyi suddenly interrupted, his anger surging like a tidal wave, his voice filled with a resolute determination through gritted teeth, "As Lingyun's elders, every action we take stems from our deep love and care for her. How could we have ever had the slightest intention to harm her?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Tian couldn't help but sneer, his laughter tinged with helplessness and irony: "Ha, what a high-sounding 'for her own good,' but little do they know how much helplessness and tears are hidden beneath these words, and how many families have been tarnished because of it?"

Countless parents and elders in the world, in the name of love, interfere in the affairs of their families, weaving one tragic family drama after another.

Jin Lingyun's experience was merely a brief but dazzling glimmer of light in this long and tragic tapestry.

Jin Shiyi frowned, his eyes blazing with anger. He stared directly at Wu Tian and rebuked him, "You brat, you're still wet behind the ears. What right do you have to spout nonsense and question my decision?"

Just as tensions were about to escalate, Liu Erhe intervened and gently advised, "Elder Jin, please calm your anger. Miss Lingyun's condition still needs to be addressed. Arguing now is pointless. Why not let me use my medical skills first, and then we can discuss right and wrong after she has recovered?"

Jin Shiyi's anger subsided slightly, and he turned his gaze to Liu Erhe, asking eagerly, "Doctor Liu, do you have a good plan?" His tone was full of expectation.

Liu Erhe stroked his beard and smiled, his eyes gleaming with confidence: "I just heard about Miss Lingyun's illness, and I already have a plan in mind that may solve this predicament."

Upon hearing this, Jin Shiyi was overjoyed and immediately pleaded, "In that case, I hope that Physician Liu will quickly use his miraculous skills to save Lingyun from this predicament."

Liu Erhe turned around leisurely, his gaze sweeping gently and deeply over Jin Lingyun, who stood quietly in the courtyard. His confidence and dedication to medical skills shone like the first rays of dawn.

He gently whispered in Jin Shiyi's ear, his words like a gentle stream, creating ripples in the stillness.

Upon hearing this, Jin Shiyi's gaze involuntarily slid towards Wu Tian, ​​a hint of doubt appearing between his brows. He asked softly, "Can this method truly bring the dead back to life?"

Liu Erhe's eyes were firm, and his words were resounding: "Miss Jin is suffering from a heart ailment. Only by using love to resolve her heartache can she see the light at the end of the tunnel. This method will surely be effective."

Jin Shiyi nodded slightly, having no doubt about Liu Erhe's medical skills and prestige. He then stared at Wu Tian, ​​his tone resolute and unwavering: "If you truly care about Lingyun, you must fully cooperate to cure her illness."

Wu Tian's expression was solemn, his eyes flashing with unwavering determination: "If you can cure Senior Sister's illness, I will naturally cooperate unconditionally. However, I already have a foolproof plan for Senior Sister's illness..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jin Shiyi's voice, as cold as ice, interrupted him: "What perfect solution do you have? In my opinion, we just need to follow Doctor Liu's methods and cooperate with the treatment."

Liu Erhe raised his hand at the opportune moment, gently interrupting Jin Shiyi's words, and then cast a meaningful smile at Wu Tian, ​​seemingly warm but actually concealing a sharp edge: "Brother Wu Tian, ​​I would like to hear the details of your foolproof plan?"

A smile played on his lips, but his eyes gleamed with disdain. He was brimming with confidence that his method was the only path to salvation, unless… Wu Tian’s plan coincided with his.

Wu Tian understood Liu Erhe's meaning, but remained calm and composed: "Senior Sister's illness can be cured with just the Thirteen Ghost Needles. One needle per acupoint, a miraculous cure."

"Haha!" Before he could finish speaking, Liu Caidie's laughter rang out like silver bells, tinged with a hint of mockery: "The Thirteen Ghost Needles technique has long been lost. Who can perform it? Moreover, given Miss Jin's condition, who would dare to act rashly?"

“Cai Die, be careful what you say.” Liu Erhe gently reprimanded, then smiled and said to Wu Tian, ​​“Cai Die’s words are straightforward but also pertinent. Brother Wu Tian’s plan is brilliant, but difficult to put into practice. The only way to resolve this predicament is to use you as bait to touch Miss Jin’s heartstrings.”

Wu Tian looked puzzled: "Using me as bait? What do you mean by that?"

Jin Shiyi replied coldly, his tone resolute and unyielding: "It means I will kill you in front of her, let her bear the power of 'death,' and let her be completely at peace."
