Chapter 78 Xiao Yu's Call

Then Shen Lang took out 100,000 yuan in cash from behind his back and handed it to Shen Haifu. Ignoring Shen Haifu's questioning look, he said to the people around him, "After watching them kneel until dark, you can divide this money among yourselves."

After saying that, Shen Lang took Yu Xian'er and Shuang'er into the car and drove away amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd.

Shen Lang remained silent on the road, as did Yu Xian'er and Shuang'er; the atmosphere inside the car was eerily quiet.

However, when the car arrived in town, Shen Lang received a call from an unknown number.

"Hello, is this Shen Lang?" A woman's voice came from the phone.

Still on the phone, Shen Lang couldn't recognize the voice on the other end. He asked coldly, "Who are you?"

The person on the other end paused for a moment, then said, "I am Xiao Yu."

Upon hearing this name, Shen Lang suddenly remembered the beautiful, disguised professor at the University of Science and Technology of China.

"What's up?"

Xiao Yu said, "I want to ask you to save my grandfather. I can grant your request."

"The conditions have changed now." Shen Lang's tone was devoid of any warmth: "I can save your grandfather, but the condition is that you become a slave for life in exchange for your grandfather's twenty years of lifespan."

"Whether you agree or not is up to you. Come find me at Baiyun Manor once you've made up your mind."

Without waiting for Xiao Yu's response, Shen Lang hung up the phone.

Shen Lang said those words without thinking; it was just a casual remark to release the lingering anger in his heart.

Although Xiao Yu is a goddess-level doctor, she doesn't have any merits in herself.

If Xiao Yu agrees, he would only need to sacrifice 20 years of his lifespan to gain a goddess-like healer who would serve him indefinitely, with virtually unlimited potential for growth. She might even become a renowned divine healer in the cultivation world in the future.

Red talent is no joke.

If Xiao Yu doesn't agree, he has countless ways to get his hands on Xiao Yu's medical talent.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Lang's anger gradually subsided.

After calming himself down, he smiled at Yu Xian'er in the passenger seat and said, "I'm sorry, Xian'er, I couldn't control myself today."

Seeing that Shen Lang was alright, Yu Xian'er relaxed her tense mood: "It's alright, my husband. I'm so glad you're alright."

Having spent a month with Shen Lang, this was the first time Shuang'er had ever seen him get angry. Sitting in the back seat, she clung to Shen Lang's seat, her eyes sparkling: "Young Master, you look so handsome when you're angry."

"???" Shen Lang was completely baffled: This girl doesn't have any special fetishes, does she?

Then his gaze fell on Yu Xian'er, who smiled and shook her head, indicating that she did not know.

In the ancestral home of the renowned Xiao family in City X, the legendary physician Xiao Jiuzhen lay on an old-fashioned chair under a ginkgo tree, struggling to open his cloudy eyes and gaze at the sky. The slight rise and fall of his chest seemed to be a final countdown for this great doctor.

Xiao Yu walked in from outside at this moment, holding a mobile phone in her hand, her thoughts extremely complicated.

Seemingly sensing Xiao Yu's arrival, Xiao Jiuzhen tried to open her eyes wide to make herself look more energetic.

"Little dumpling." Xiao Jiuzhen mustered all her strength to force a smile.

Xiao Yu stood before Xiao Jiuzhen, her eyes red and swollen, and said, "Grandpa, I'm sorry..."

Xiao Jiuzhen closed her eyes slightly and said in a weak voice, "Little dumpling, you have done very well. You are the pride of the Xiao family and the pride of your grandfather."

As a renowned physician, Xiao Jiuzhen naturally knew how much Xiao Yu had done for him over the years, how many dangerous roads he had traveled, how many perilous mountains he had climbed, and how many murky waters he had waded through.

A person who enters the five signs of decay is someone whose soul is personally requested by Yama, the King of Hell.

In today's world, besides the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain who can snatch lives from the clutches of Yama, only his own beloved granddaughter could do so.

Looking back on his life, even if Xiao Jiuzhen were to die now, he would feel that he had lived a worthwhile life.

Xiao Jiuzhen was a premature baby with congenital defects, but thanks to the efforts of the old doctor of the Xiao family, he was successfully transformed into a normal person.

However, because his innate energy was not fully developed, he did not have his only son, Xiao Jingshan, until he was over forty years old.

However, Xiao Jingshan had no interest in studying medicine and relied on the Xiao family's connections to do business after he grew up.

Just when he thought the Xiao family's ancestral medical skills were about to end in his hands, the birth of Xiao Yu gave him hope for the future of the Xiao family.

This granddaughter did not disappoint him. Now she possesses extraordinary medical skills, capable of defying fate. When even the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain was powerless, she managed to extend her own life by two years.

For Xiao Jiuzhen, watching his granddaughter, whom he had personally raised, grow up to be an adult and capable of standing on her own was enough for him in this life.

Xiao Jiuzhen stretched out his left hand and beckoned to Xiao Yu, saying, "Little dumpling, come here."

Xiao Yu hurriedly squatted down beside Xiao Jiuzhen, holding her grandfather's skinny hand, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Xiao Jiuzhen said haltingly, "Tuanzi...promise Grandpa...don't let the Xiao family's medical skills be lost..."

Xiao Yu forced a smile and shook her head, saying, "Grandpa, you won't die."

After saying that, Xiao Yu finally made up her mind.

She covered Xiao Jiuzhen with the thin blanket and said, "Grandpa, believe me, you won't die."

After saying this, she resolutely got up and walked out of the Xiao family ancestral home.

Xiao Jiuzhen watched Xiao Yu's departing figure, her eyes tightly closed, her eyelids trembling.

After leaving the Xiao family ancestral home, Xiao Yu dialed Shen Lang's number.

Shen Lang was joking with the two women in the car when he saw Xiao Yu calling. He answered casually, "Have you figured it out?"

"I can promise to acknowledge you as my master for life, but you must also agree to one condition," Xiao Yu said resolutely on the other end of the phone.

Tell me about it.

Xiao Yu said, "I need a year of free time. After a year, I will personally come to your door to serve you as my master."

Shen Lang thought for two seconds and then agreed.

"See you at Baiyun Manor." After saying that, Xiao Yu hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Lang continued joking with the two women.

Yu Xian'er didn't ask.

Half an hour later, the car stopped outside Baiyun Villa, where Xiao Yu had been waiting for a long time.

When she saw Yu Xian'er and Shuang'er behind Shen Lang, she realized how ridiculous her request to Shen Lang a month ago had been.

After the two met, Yu Xian'er said, "Husband, Shuang'er and I will go back first."

"Okay, I'll be back later," Shen Lang nodded.

Then Yu Xian'er smiled slightly at Xiao Yu, and then led Shuang'er into the manor.

"Let's go, to your place." Shen Lang didn't waste any more words with Xiao Yu, turned around and got into the car.

Xiao Yu also got into the passenger seat without any expression.
