"Wow! It's that serious?"

Xia Che was startled and quickly withdrew his strength, standing on the ground without daring to move an inch. How could his meridians be severed? From now on, he would be a useless piece of trash who couldn't even get out of bed!

"There's no need to be so afraid..."

Su Miaorou couldn't help but chuckle. Xia Che's behavior was truly comical. She never expected that her fearless disciple would actually have moments of fear.

"Just relax naturally. You don't need to hold your breath like that. Breathe freely; it won't break your meridians."

Su Miaorou's figure was like a light, white feather. She stepped out from the treetop and then walked down smoothly as if climbing stairs, stepping on the tall, sturdy branches one by one.

Xia Che's brows twitched at the sight.

These tree branches are quite tall... and you just used them as stairs to walk down?

Are you sure this isn't some kind of martial arts drama being filmed?

Even martial arts dramas need wire work and stunt doubles to achieve the desired effect!

"So... why are you putting on such an indifferent expression?! Didn't you seal my meridians? If this thing is so dangerous, why did you seal them?"

"Does that mean I can't even do strenuous exercise anymore? Otherwise, who knows when I might overdo it and break my meridians, which would be fatal!"

"I can't even exercise... Damn it, you've always hated me, haven't you? You just wanted to use this as an excuse to watch my meridians break?"

Xia Che suddenly realized something, took a few steps back, and looked at Su Miaorou with a look full of apprehension.

Could this woman really hate me?

"...What exactly is going on in your head?"

Su Miaorou looked at her as if she were an idiot.

Su Miaorou had already explained why she sealed Xia Che's meridians; she didn't believe the kid's memory was that bad.

It was intentional...

"Speak, why did you come to see me so late at night?"

Su Miaorou stretched her fingers and yawned. With the help of the moonlight, Xia Che could see a faint trace of fatigue between Su Miaorou's ink-painted eyebrows, as if she had just finished a day of meditation.

"That's of course..."

"Don't say things like you miss me. You've never cared about our master-disciple relationship. If you dare to talk nonsense, I'll beat you up."

Xia Che was interrupted by Su Miaorou, who narrowed her eyes slightly, before she could finish speaking.

"Ah...hahaha..."

Faced with a master who knew him inside and out and could see through his thoughts at a glance, Xia Che could only awkwardly scratch his head and let out two dry laughs that were hard to understand.

Fortunately, Su Miaorou didn't dwell on the matter too much, giving Xia Che a dismissive look.

"Is that so... Do you have any ideas on how to treat your leg disability?"

Xia Che thought for a moment, his expression gradually becoming serious.

That's exactly why he came.

"Oh, right, and heart disease too."

Xia Che added, "The other person is quite old, so it would be best to use some methods that won't harm their body, such as exercise... but let's not do that."

Xia Che knew that his master's favorite thing was to improve his strength or cure certain diseases by tempering his body.

Her medical skills are top-notch, but she believes that the human body is a treasure trove. She will never use medicine unless absolutely necessary, and the medicines she does use are all auxiliary in nature. She aims to cure diseases by enhancing the body's self-healing ability, which is a way to treat both the symptoms and the root cause.

However, considering Grandma Jiang Yu's age, Xia Che didn't think his master's method would work for her. In Xia Che's opinion, it would be better to use some simpler methods that could cure Grandma while she was lying down...

"Heart disease...what exactly is it? Even if it's just heart disease, it's not that simple; it can be subdivided into many types. How old is the patient? Is there a family history of hereditary diseases?"

Su Miaorou's rapid-fire questions left Xia Che completely bewildered.

"Well... this..."

Xia Che scratched his head and said awkwardly, "Let me make a call and ask first..."

Damn it, they came in such a hurry.

I originally planned to do it secretly and then surprise Jiang Yu.

I never expected it to be so complicated?

To be honest, before Xia Che came here, he really thought there was only one type of heart disease...

So, all Xia Che had on his way here was to ask his master for some medicinal herbs or treatment methods...

"What does this brat think of medicine?"

Su Miaorou crossed her arms and watched Xia Che turn around to make a phone call, her eyes twitching involuntarily.

Does he think he can cure all diseases by simply sticking a couple of needles in, like in those novels?

How could that be...?

Xia Che also ran into trouble in this regard. Every call he made seemed to go unanswered, and the call was automatically disconnected after about ten seconds.

"Strange...is she asleep?"

Xia Che frowned slightly and looked at the time on his phone screen. This was the time when tutoring usually ended. According to Jiang Yu's biological clock, she shouldn't be sleeping this early.

There was nothing else to do. Since Jiang Yu wasn't answering the phone, Xia Che sent her a text message, basically asking her to call him after seeing the message.

For some reason, Xia Che felt a vague unease in his heart.

But then I thought back to when I left, Jiang Yu was perfectly fine, and I couldn't see anything unusual about her.

"Isn't it just overthinking?"

Xia Che let out a deep breath and put the phone back.

"Are you trying to save someone?"

Su Miaorou noticed Xia Che's embarrassment and raised an eyebrow: "So you came to me without asking anything?"

"That's roughly it..."

Xia Che felt a little embarrassed.

"You haven't changed at all, still as unreliable as ever..."

Su Miaorou was speechless. Seeing Xia Che's embarrassed expression, she rarely had the chance to tease her disciple. Seeing this, Su Miaorou felt a little reluctant and sighed, "Never mind, I'll get you a bottle of Ginseng King Liquid in a bit. It's what I didn't finish last time. It's just a little bit of the original liquid, not a whole Ginseng King. Even if the other person is old, I think their body can still absorb it."

“Even if I don’t know the specific type of heart disease the other person has, with the King of Ginseng’s original liquid, maintaining health for one or two years shouldn’t be a problem. I still have some things to take care of later. After I’m done, I’ll accompany you on your journey in person.”

Su Miaorou was still somewhat worried about Xia Che, and reluctantly said...

Given his apprentice's unreliable nature, it would be difficult for him to handle things alone, right?
