Although he knew that his grandson was strong and would not die easily, there was always someone stronger than him. What he was most afraid of was receiving news that something bad happened to Chi Yang before his own death.
Although his granddaughter-in-law said that to comfort him, he was very touched while getting comforted.
Initially, the old master was rather concerned since his future granddaughter-in-law had an elder sister who would drug someone to achieve her goals. Yet, he had already given Zhong Nuannuan 90 points now. The remaining points were bonus points—666!
However, his granddaughter-in-law’s ability to cheer him up concerned the old master a little too.
He could not help feeling that only the girls who Chi Yang disliked but wanted to marry into the Chi family would want to get close to him.
Therefore, he was afraid of knowing this version of the truth—since Chi Yang had already devoured the girl’s body, or perhaps his body had accepted Nuannuan, he had no choice but to make the marriage report.
Otherwise, why would this brat not come back even though nothing serious was going on in Jiang District?
“Chi Yang, this brat, why isn’t he back yet?” The old master asked at the thought.
“Big Brother Chi Yang has been rather busy recently. He just returned from a mission, and he has to hold a joint military exercise soon. That’s why he’ll be back rather late. Just now, he asked the guards to bring me food.”
Each of Zhong Nuannuan’s answers found their place in the old master’s heart. He was relieved at her answer.
“When they’re done with their work, I still have to poke some needles into the commander-in-chief. Anyway, they will still take a while. Grandpa, why don’t I apply acupuncture on you first? While you’re in Jiang District, I’ll treat you every day. When you return to Emperor District, your legs won’t hurt so much anymore.”
“Alright!”
Old Master Chi agreed without hesitation.
After all, the old master’s status was above the Four Dominant Families in Emperor District. He was the only surviving grand marshal in Camino. Even the current president would have to be polite to him.
It would not be an exaggeration to call the old master a national treasure. As for those who could touch his body, which of them were not experienced professors?
However, in this situation where he did not know her well, the old master did not hesitate to become her lab rat. In truth, this was all because the old master’s love for Chi Yang had been transferred to her.
However, Zhong Nuannuan would not betray this trust.
When she came back today, she had brought a lot of fire cups with her. Coincidentally, they came in handy today.
The old master had been shot in the leg before, and he was shot more than once. A bullet pierced through his leg and brushed past his kneecap, destroying the meridians inside. Even though the bullet passed through, the blood clot that had accumulated inside after the wound healed caused severe varicose veins.
What she needed to do was extract the blood that had clotted outside the blood vessels and use acupuncture to speed up the blood flow in his legs.
This way, even if he returned to Emperor District in the piercingly cold weather, his leg would no longer be unable to walk due to the pressure from the blood clot and extreme swelling.
The old master’s medical team was supposed to be very adept, and they were considered the creme de la creme in Camino. The reason why they could not treat his leg was partly that the old master was too old—surgery was unsuitable for him. The post-surgery effects might be much more serious than the current injury caused by the varicose veins. On the other hand, this kind of illness could keep returning, which was commonly known as relapses.
