Although Qi Ziang was physically weak, he could still feel the Ghost Doctor's superb medical skills and dedicated treatment.
Several days passed, and Qi Ziang's health gradually recovered, and his spirits improved considerably.
During this time, Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai stayed by his side, taking care of his daily needs. The Ghost Doctor visited him every day to examine his condition and constantly adjust the treatment plan.
One morning, Qi Ziang woke up to find that his parents and the Ghost Doctor were not in his room. He struggled to sit up and found that his body was no longer as weak as before.
He got out of bed and slowly walked into the yard. The yard was sunny and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers.
Qi Ziang took a deep breath, feeling his whole body filled with strength. He saw his parents and the Ghost Doctor chatting at the stone table in the courtyard, their faces beaming with smiles.
"Zi'ang, you're up!" Xu Yuehuai saw her son coming over and quickly stood up to greet him. "Uncle Ghost Doctor said you've almost recovered."
Qi Guze smiled and patted his son on the shoulder, "You've worked hard these past few days, Zi'ang."
The Ghost Doctor looked at Qi Ziang with relief in his eyes, "Your body is much better now. The treatment and conditioning these past few days have been very effective."
Qi Ziang looked at the Ghost Doctor gratefully, "Thank you, Uncle Ghost Doctor, for saving my life! If you hadn't arrived in time, I really don't know what would have happened to me."
The Ghost Doctor waved his hand, "Don't be so polite. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda." His words carried a hint of bitterness and helplessness.
Qi Ziang noticed that the Ghost Doctor's expression was a little strange. "Uncle Ghost Doctor, what's wrong? Is something bothering you?"
The Ghost Doctor was silent for a moment. "Actually, it's nothing. I just remembered some things from the past." He looked up at the sky. "Everyone has their own past and their own pain. What's important is the present and the future."
Xu Yuehuai gently stroked her son's hair, "Alright, Zi'ang has just recovered, don't let him worry any more."
Qi Guze nodded in agreement, "Yes! We should cherish the time we have now."
The Ghost Doctor smiled slightly, "Well said! Starting today, I will continue to help Zi'ang regulate his body to ensure his full recovery."
However, just as the Ghost Doctor was helping Qi Ziang adjust his body, Qi Guze was in a great hurry.
His men seemed to have disappeared. He secretly went out many times, leaving their hidden traces in various parts of the capital of Dongsang Kingdom, hoping that his men would see the traces and come to meet him. Unfortunately, he had not heard from them for many days.
Qi Guze felt increasingly uneasy. He looked at Xu Yuehuai with a hint of worry and helplessness in his eyes.
Xu Yuehuai sensed his emotions and gently patted the back of his hand, trying to comfort him.
"Don't worry, I believe they will be alright." Xu Yuehuai's voice was gentle yet firm, and her words reassured Qi Guze a little.
However, Qi Guze's heart was still filled with doubts and worries. He knew that his men were the cream of the crop, but in this unfamiliar country, anything could happen.
"I'm afraid something has happened to them." Qi Guze's voice trembled slightly, his heart filled with fear and unease.
Xu Yuehuai remained silent for a while, knowing that Qi Guze's worries were not unfounded.
Better safe than sorry!
"No news right now is perhaps the best news," Xu Yuehuai said softly, her eyes filled with determination and comfort.
Qi Guze lowered his head silently. He knew that Xu Yuehuai's words made sense, but the current situation made him uneasy.
He looked up at Xu Yuehuai, his eyes filled with tenderness. "Thank you, Yuehuai."
Qi Guze's voice trembled slightly, his heart filled with gratitude and warmth.
Xu Yuehuai smiled gently, knowing that her words had helped Qi Guze. She gently took Qi Guze's hand and hugged him tightly.
Time passed slowly in silence as Qi Guze and Xu Yuehuai sat quietly in the room, awaiting news.
Their hearts were filled with worry and anticipation, hoping that their men would return safely.
However, at that very moment, a series of chaotic noises suddenly came from outside, as if many people were approaching.
Qi Guze's heart tightened; he immediately realized the situation was dire. He gripped his weapon tightly, shielding Xu Yuehuai and Qi Ziang, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily.
Xu Yuehuai also realized the seriousness of the situation. She hugged Qi Ziang tightly, trying to keep him away from danger.
Her face was pale, but her eyes were very calm. She held Qi Ziang tightly with her hands, especially worried that something might happen to him.
At the same time, the Ghost Doctor quickly drew his weapon and stood beside them, his eyes firm and sharp.
He observed for a while, then asked, "Should I go out and see who it is?"
Qi Guze shook his head slightly, his tone calm and firm: "No need, let's wait for them to come in."
He already had some guesses in his mind; the other party must already know their identities and was deliberately coming for them.
Perhaps his men led the way with a coded message; he never expected someone to betray him!
A cold glint flashed in Qi Guze's eyes as he gripped his weapon tightly, preparing to face the impending attack.
The sounds outside grew closer, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense. Xu Yuehuai and Qi Ziang huddled together, their heartbeats echoing in the silent room.
Finally, the door was flung open, and a group of men dressed in black stormed in. Their faces wore sinister smiles, and their eyes gleamed with cruelty.
They brandished their weapons and charged towards Qi Guze and his group. Qi Guze, undaunted, charged forward, brandishing his weapon.
Xu Yuehuai and the Ghost Doctor quickly joined the battle, fighting back with all their might against the attacks of the men in black!
Although Qi Guze and his companions were all highly skilled, the enemy outnumbered them so much that they were caught in a fierce battle.
However, just then, footsteps sounded outside the door again. This time, the sound was much louder, as if a large group of people were approaching.
Qi Guze's heart sank; he knew that this time they would probably be unable to withstand the attack.
Xu Yuehua hugged Qi Ziang tightly, her eyes filled with panic, while Qi Ziang kept his eyes tightly closed, his small hands gripping Xu Yuehua's clothes, clearly terrified.
While desperately resisting the attacks of the men in black, the Ghost Doctor anxiously observed the direction of the doorway.
He knew that if they couldn't deal with these men in black quickly, they would face even greater danger.
Qi Guze also realized this, and he decided to take decisive action!
