Chapter 95

"Is it really impossible to save the old man?" After much consideration, Liu Menglong did not rashly give an answer but instead asked about the old master's condition.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Shao Meiyun's eyes as she softly said, "Grandpa's vital energy and blood have collapsed, damaging the root. If we could invite the Medicine King, there might still be a glimmer of hope, but... the Medicine King and Grandpa have a deep-seated enmity, so he won't help."

"Is that so..." Liu Menglong did not ask about the old master's enmity with the Medicine King, nor did he think it necessary: "Your meaning is that the old man will recover if his vital energy and blood are replenished?"

"In theory, yes, but replenishing vital energy and blood is not that easy." A trace of despair flashed in Shao Meiyun's eyes: "If we had a ten-thousand-year-old ginseng, there might be a chance, but in this world, most of the precious herbs have been destroyed by humans. Where can we find a ten-thousand-year-old ginseng?"

"Perhaps not." Liu Menglong smiled faintly: "As long as it can replenish vital energy and blood, the ten-thousand-year-old ginseng is not essential."

"Menglong, you..." Shao Meiyun's face lit up with surprise, and her body trembled slightly: "You...?"

Liu Menglong nodded, reached into his pocket, and took out two pills, one blue and one red: "One is a Qi-replenishing pill, and the other is a blood-replenishing pill. Give them to the old man and call me if there are any reactions."

As soon as the pills were out, a refreshing medicinal fragrance filled the car. Shao Meiyun felt her spirits lift, and her complexion became much rosier.

They must be divine medicines!

Shao Meiyun was overjoyed. She took the pills with trembling hands, treating them like rare treasures, and said with pursed lips: "Menglong, thank you."

Liu Menglong shook his head and said, "The old man should be able to hold on. With him around, the Liu family can last another ten years. During this time, you can choose a new family head. Don't come to me again; I have my own things to do."

"Is being a massage therapist your thing?" With the pills, Shao Meiyun's tense nerves relaxed, and her tone became more casual: "Menglong, you are a noble Liu family descendant. How can you do such a job? If you need money..."

"I don't need money." Liu Menglong waved his hand: "I have my reasons for what I do. I hope you won't interfere."

"Alright, I won't interfere." Seeing Liu Menglong's expression, Shao Meiyun smiled slightly: "You are a Liu family man, and I believe you know what you're doing." She paused: "But can I ask why you have such miraculous pills?"

The appearance of these two pills was too suspicious, and their effects were too good. Just a whiff of them had greatly invigorated her. She had never heard of such pills, ancient or modern. They were truly divine.

"How you got them is none of your business, and I won't tell you." Liu Menglong opened the car door and got out: "Go back quickly! I have to work."

Watching Liu Menglong walk away with his head held high, a hint of admiration flashed in Shao Meiyun's eyes, and she smiled: "No wonder you are a Liu family descendant. This is what a man should be like."

Looking at the pills in her hand: "Menglong, you miscalculated. If you don't have such abilities, it's one thing, but now that you know you have such a big secret, how can Grandpa let you go?"

Putting away the pills, Shao Meiyun resumed her usual strong woman demeanor: "To the hospital."

"Yes!"

Half an hour later, Shao Meiyun placed the two pills in the mouth of the old master, who was in a coma. The pills dissolved upon contact, and the old master subconsciously swallowed the liquid. Almost immediately, his complexion changed from ashen to rosy, his dry skin regained its luster, and his heart rate, which had been abnormally weak, became strong.

The old master opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and full of vitality as he sat up from the bed.

"Grandpa, how do you feel?" Seeing such a miraculous change, Shao Meiyun was both shocked and delighted.

"What is this...?" The old master looked at his hands, touched his skin and face, and felt the surging vital energy within. Although he hadn't fully recovered, he had regained more than thirty percent of his strength.

The old master, who had once been the family head, was indeed a strong person. The Qi-replenishing pill, which added 500 points of true energy, and the blood-replenishing pill, which added 1000 points of life, could only restore him to more than thirty percent. No wonder he could survive under Yue Chang's attack.

"Meiyun, what did you give me?" The old master could still taste the medicinal fragrance in his mouth, knowing that Shao Meiyun had given him a miraculous pill.

Hearing the old master's voice, which was full of vitality, Shao Meiyun's eyes welled up with tears: "Grandpa, it's great! Menglong gave me the pills. Menglong saved you."

"Menglong!?" The old master was astonished: "Why would he give you pills? Where did these pills come from?"

Shao Meiyun wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled through them: "I don't know where the pills came from. Menglong wouldn't tell me, but I told him about Grandpa's condition. After listening, he gave me these two pills and said to contact him if there were any problems."

The old master was momentarily dazed: "Menglong has such good things..."

"Yes!" Shao Meiyun smiled: "Grandpa, Menglong is a cold exterior but warm interior child. Although he speaks harshly, he still cares about you. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given such miraculous pills."

The old master came to his senses and chuckled: "Yes! He's just too proud and doesn't know how to respect the elderly."

"Menglong grew up in that environment, so it's understandable." Shao Meiyun smiled brightly, the dark clouds that had been weighing on her for days had dissipated, all thanks to the old master's improvement: "But Menglong has been hiding a lot. Even our intelligence network couldn't uncover such a big secret. Just these two pills are worth a fortune. I wonder how many more secrets Menglong has?"

The old master smiled and got out of bed.

Shao Meiyun immediately went to support him.

"No need." The old master waved his hand, put on his slippers, and stood up. He walked around the room, casually throwing a few punches and kicks. The punches were strong, and the kicks were swift, making Shao Meiyun extremely pleased.

"Phew." The old master exhaled, walked to the window, and opened it. The fresh autumn breeze blew in, though it was a bit cool, it couldn't extinguish the warmth in his heart.

Turning around, the old master said, "Meiyun, help me with the discharge procedures and have Menglong come to the Liu residence to see me."

Shao Meiyun smiled: "Alright."

...

After finishing his work for the day, Liu Menglong was about to go home when he noticed Shao Meiyun's car parked on the opposite side of the road from the massage parlor. The window was down, and Shao Meiyun waved at him: "Menglong, over here!"

Liu Menglong nodded at her, then got into his car and drove up next to hers. Although Shao Meiyun was still wearing a hat and sunglasses, Liu Menglong could see that her complexion was much better than at noon: "How is it going?"

"Very well." Shao Meiyun smiled brightly: "Grandpa has been discharged, but he hasn't fully recovered yet."

"Okay." Liu Menglong nodded: "No problem. I have a few more pills. Take them back to him."

"Menglong, Grandpa wants to see you." Shao Meiyun said.

Liu Menglong fell silent for a moment: "Since he's fine, it's better not to see him."

"He just wants to see his grandson." Shao Meiyun gently persuaded: "Can't you fulfill an old man's small wish?"

After a moment of silence, Liu Menglong took out his phone: "I need to contact my family."

Shao Meiyun smiled: "Is it Ruyue? Why don't you bring her along? Grandpa would also like to see this beautiful granddaughter-in-law."

"I don't want her to have any ties to the Liu family." Liu Menglong sent a text message to Nalan Ruyue: "Ruyue, I have something to do tonight and will be back late. Don't save dinner for me. I'll return as soon as I'm done."

After sending the message, Liu Menglong said to Shao Meiyun: "Let's go!"

Looking at Liu Menglong's cold face, Shao Meiyun sighed: "Menglong, you are a member of the Liu family!" She then instructed the driver to start the car and head to the Liu residence.

Liu Menglong's face stiffened, and he forcefully hit the steering wheel, following behind.

East Suburb Castle, Liu Residence.

Liu Menglong was entering this place for the first time, representing the highest power in Tianfu. Looking at the guards with their fierce expressions, a hint of disdain flashed in Liu Menglong's eyes. They couldn't even stop Yue Chang's assassination attempt; they were all useless.

Perhaps sensing Liu Menglong's disdain, the guards glared at him with anger and hostility. Liu Menglong was unaffected by their anger and hostility. A leaf fell in front of him, and he coldly snorted, grabbed the leaf, and threw it. With a "thud," the leaf pierced into the stone wall forty meters away, halfway through.

Seeing this, the guards were shocked, and Shao Meiyun's eyes sparkled with excitement.

Someone immediately went to the wall to check the leaf. When they lightly pinched it, the leaf crumbled. This discovery made the guards even more shocked, and they looked at Liu Menglong with more respect.

In the old master's resting place, seeing this scene through the transmitted images, the old master's eyes sparkled: "What pure and powerful inner strength! Even a flower or a leaf can be used to injure! What a profound realm!"

"Truly worthy of being my grandson, Liu Tianming! Hahaha..." The laughter echoed far and wide. The servants of the Liu residence were amazed, as the old master hadn't laughed so heartily since the incident.

What's going on today? Is there some good news? The servants were filled with anticipation.

A few minutes later, Liu Menglong met the old master, who had been waiting for a long time. The old master was sitting at a table, with a steaming hot meal in front of him.

"Grandpa, Menglong is here." Shao Meiyun walked over and said with a smile.

The old master nodded with a smile, looking at the handsome and dignified Liu Menglong with satisfaction. He pointed to the seat next to him: "Menglong, come and sit."
