Thinking that he had at least begun to cultivate internal energy, he should at least be able to progress faster than his junior sister, right?

Unexpectedly, Xiao Youran was even faster, and in less than seven or eight steps, she almost stepped on his heel.

Xiao Youran lost control of her speed and cried out in a shrill voice, "Senior brother, get out of the way!"

Wen Yuanbai took a few quick steps, but in the end, he couldn't dodge in time and was stepped on by her on the seventeenth step. As a result, he fell off the plum blossom stake in an extremely strange posture.

Xiao Youran also fell off the plum blossom stake, but quickly regained her balance with a roll.

However, because Wen Yuanbai's instep had been stepped on and his body was falling, the two forces pulled together, and a crisp cracking sound was heard.

A sharp pain shot through Wen Yuanbai's vision, and before he fainted, his only remaining thought was that this peaceful period hadn't even lasted half a month... So, was his junior sister still that unlucky girl after all?

When Nan Zhuo returned after discussing the matter of the red seal with Steward Zhang, he saw his master fall from the plum blossom stake. He was shocked and rushed forward to help his master up.

He also heard the sound of bones cracking and quickly carried the young master into the room.

A moment later, Doctor Gu arrived.

After hearing about Wen Yuanbai's injury, Doctor Gu looked at Xiao Youran speechlessly.

"Good disciple, your Master Wuwang said you are Wen boy's lucky star, but why do you look like a little troublemaker to me?"

The bond between the master and his disciples grew stronger each day, and they spoke to each other without any restraint.

Xiao Youran pouted, "What's meant to be will be. Master, haven't you heard that saying?"

Doctor Gu: ...

That makes so much sense, I'm speechless.

He stepped forward and gave Wen Yuanbai a thorough examination. He then took out a silver needle and pricked a spot on Wen Yuanbai's body. Finally, as he pulled up Wen Yuanbai's trousers, he was beaming with joy.

Nan Zhuo watched anxiously from the side, "Dr. Gu, how is the young master? Is he alright?"

Doctor Gu said happily, "It's a fracture."

Nan Zhuo: ...

He was truly exasperated. The young master had broken a bone, and you were so happy about it?

At this moment, Monk Wuwang also walked in, followed by Steward Zhang, who was holding two red envelopes.

Seeing the young master collapse, Butler Zhang disregarded Feng Hong and immediately asked, "Nan Zhuo, how is the young master?"

Nan Zhuo spoke with some difficulty, "Dr. Gu said... said it's a fracture."

Butler Zhang's legs went weak and he almost knelt on the ground.

In the past, he would fall three times a day, but it was all minor and he would hardly get a scratch.

For the past two weeks, he had fallen and died three times a day, and he thought that the young master's luck had finally turned around.

Who knew that God was holding back a big surprise?

Did he break the young master's bones with just one move?

But why does Doctor Gu have such a happy look on his face?

Monk Wuwang stepped forward and touched Wen Yuanbai's injured leg bone. He looked grave at first, but when he met Doctor Gu's gaze, he turned back to look at the tiny wound that Doctor Gu had just pricked with silver needles. He looked at Xiao Youran and suddenly smiled brightly, "It really is a fracture!"

I recognized him by his eyes; he was indeed the one who could bring good fortune to this kid.

Butler Zhang looked at Monk Wuwang with horror, stammering, "Master Wuwang...Young Master...his leg really...is broken again?"

Wu Wang's smile widened even more. "Congratulations! It really is a fracture."

Nan Zhuo also looked horrified. "Dr. Gu, Master Wuwang, what exactly is going on? Tell us!"

Wu Wang looked at Doctor Gu and said, "You tell me."

Doctor Gu stroked his beard and nodded to Jiang Youchen and his sister, "My disciples, you should also come forward and feel around to see where the leg is broken?"

Jiang Youchen and Xiao Youran stepped forward one after the other to touch the leg bone, and then said in unison, "Three inches below Zusanli."

Doctor Gu laughed heartily, "It's fate! It really is fate!"

Monk Wuwang laughed heartily, picked up Xiao Youran, spun him around, and then put him down. "I told you you were this kid's lucky star, and I was right!"

Butler Zhang and Nan Zhuo exchanged a glance, both looking completely bewildered. What on earth are you guys talking about?

Why are you all celebrating like it's New Year's when the young master broke his leg?

Oh wait, isn't it Chinese New Year right now?

Doctor Gu also wanted to go forward and hug Xiao Youran, but Jiang Youchen quickly blocked him, saying, "Master, please talk this out."

Doctor Gu laughed heartily, "Little Lucky Boy, you are not only this boy's lucky star, but also my lucky star!"

Butler Zhang, unable to bear it any longer, demanded, "Could you two masters please explain yourselves clearly?"

The sage doctor asked mysteriously, "Do you still remember where Wen broke his bone when he first came here three years ago?"

How could Steward Zhang remember any of this?

Nan Zhuo's eyes lit up. "Both are located three inches below Zusanli?"

Doctor Gu stroked his beard, raised the silver needle, and said, “After Wen’s fracture, you found some quack doctor from who-knows-where to set his bone, but his legs have always been unsteady. We couldn’t figure out the cause before, but now we do. It turns out that cold toxins accumulated at the fracture site, affecting his meridians and blood circulation for the past three years, causing his left leg to be unable to bear weight for long, resulting in an abnormal gait. Today, the same fracture occurred, and I was able to detect the toxins inside. Little Fu Bao accidentally broke his bone. We’ve found the real cause without having to manually break the leg bone—isn’t that a cause for celebration?”

Butler Zhang and Nan Zhuo were dumbfounded. They couldn't believe such a thing was possible.

The boy, who had been awakened by being touched and pricked by several people, had his eyelids still closed, but they were trembling violently.

The pain is already excruciating, and I'll have to stay in bed for another six months...

Just thinking about the pain of breaking his leg three years ago made him grit his teeth.

Is this little You Ran his lucky star or his nemesis?

It seems like nothing good ever comes out, but it also seems like everything is good?

At this moment, Nan Zhuo exclaimed, "Dr. Gu, what are you doing?"

He suddenly opened his eyes and saw Doctor Gu holding a gleaming dagger. He frowned and propped himself up to sit up.

Nan Zhuo quickly helped him lean against the headboard.

He asked weakly, "Dr. Gu, are you going to...?"

Doctor Gu smiled and said, "I need to take a blood sample to test the poison emanating from your fracture before I can prescribe an antidote."

Xiao Youran's lips twitched violently.

She coughed lightly and said to Doctor Gu in a childish voice, "Master, shouldn't we set his bones first and then slowly remove the poison?"

Looking into his disciple's blinking eyes, Doctor Gu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "What my disciple says is right, let's first set the bones and stop the pain!"

Wen Yuanbai narrowed his eyes.

Xiao Youran quickly said, "Senior Brother Dabai, I didn't mean it. But look, I even found out the real cause of your long-standing illness! So Senior Brother Dabai, you should thank me!"

Wen Yuanbai had no more ideas.

The red envelope that Butler Zhang held in his hand was a little hot.

This little lucky charm, who accidentally solved a major problem in her master's life, deserves far too little reward of ten taels of silver!

No one understood better than him the importance of curing his master's lameness!

He decisively turned around and went out, deciding to give a new, larger red envelope!
