"The Meteorite is an item that Canglong Academy must obtain. Why don't you want it?" Lu Fan asked directly.
"As you just said, it is an item that Canglong Academy must obtain!"
Long Yi chuckled softly, "It has nothing to do with me. Besides, it's just an ordinary stone. What use would I have for it?"
"It seems I've misunderstood you!"
Lu Fan smiled lightly, "I hope you won't speak of what happened today!"
"Mr. Lu, rest assured. Since you've cautioned me, I will not speak of it," Long Yi nodded.
The next morning, Lu Fan and his companions set off for Donghai City. Other experts from Qingyun Sect also returned to their outposts in the extraterrestrial battlefield.
The celebration ceremony had concluded. Although the Cangqiong Kingdom had not attacked, they could not afford to be careless. Any slight misstep could put the entire Long Kingdom in peril.
In Donghai City, several figures stood within the Yang family's estate.
"Elder Han, please tell me the truth. What exactly is wrong with the old madam?" Yang Shihai asked, "Is she nearing her end?"
"Patriarch Yang, I am not speaking nonsense. Madam Yang's condition has worsened. Even if Hua Tuo were alive, no one could cure her!"
Elder Han stated directly, "Let her eat whatever she wants. At least she won't leave with regrets!"
"What kind of talk is that? We invited you to treat the patient, not to say such things!" Yang Shiyun said coldly, "What stage has my grandmother's illness reached?"
"Miss Yang, I have done my best!" Elder Han said helplessly, "The Yang family may have to seek a higher authority!"
"Elder Han's medical skills are unparalleled. If even you are helpless, who else can cure the old madam's illness?" Yang Shihai frowned.
"If that's the case, then we can only prepare for the funeral!" Elder Han said helplessly, "I am no longer able to help!"
Yang Shihai was panicked. He never expected things to turn out this way. The old madam had a difficult life, and now in her old age, she had contracted such a serious illness.
"Dad, I believe there are other ways!"
Yang Shiyun spoke, "We must not give up."
"All the renowned divine doctors in Donghai City have been invited, but not one can cure the old madam's illness!" Yang Shihai stated, "The old madam is likely nearing her end!"
"I will personally offer a substantial reward!" Yang Shiyun declared, "Whoever can cure my grandmother's illness will receive a million taels of gold!"
"It's useless. I've already offered rewards, but no one has responded!"
Yang Shihai shook his head. "Don't waste your effort. Spend more time with your grandmother and accompany her through the final stage of her life!"
"I absolutely refuse to believe it!"
Yang Shiyun's expression was solemn. She then turned to leave, her eyes filled with determination. She believed that there must be someone else who could help.
Watching Yang Shiyun's departing figure, Yang Shihai felt a sense of helplessness. The old madam's illness was in its terminal stage. All he could do now was to stand by her side, unable to help in any way.
Meanwhile, in a corner of Donghai City, Lu Fan and his companions stood, seemingly waiting for something.
"Mr. Lu, we've been waiting for so long, and there's still no definite news. Should I go and check myself?" Long Yi asked.
"I think it's best not to!"
Lu Fan shook his head. "Don't forget, you are a delicate young lady. How can you personally handle such matters!"
Long Yi froze, feeling somewhat helpless. She had indeed created a persona of being delicate. If she appeared too assertive, it would be quite inappropriate.
"I'm just going to take a look. Even if I'm delicate, it shouldn't matter, right?"
Long Yi stated, feeling a surge of dissatisfaction.
Following her words, Lu Fan shrugged, not paying much attention.
However, at that moment, Gu Wen walked over. "I've found out that the Yang family Master is looking for is in a villa not far ahead."
"Not far ahead?"
Lu Fan's eyes lit up. "Then let's go now. After so many years, I wonder how my maternal grandmother is doing. And my eldest maternal uncle..."
"However, I just received news that the Yang family's old madam is ill, and it's a terminal illness," Gu Wen quickly said. "The Yang family has offered a reward of one million to find a master of medicine. She is now hanging by a thread."
"Something like this has happened!"
Lu Fan's expression changed. He had just arrived in the southeast city and had not expected to encounter this. He also hadn't expected his maternal grandmother to be in mortal danger.
Lu Fan could not afford to wait. He headed straight for the Yang family's villa. He had only just arrived in the southeast city and hadn't even had a hot meal, but Lu Fan didn't care about these things.
After so many years, he was finally able to see his close relatives. Moreover, his close relative was in critical condition, so Lu Fan dared not delay.
Upon entering the villa, Lu Fan strode in, only to be stopped by several men. "Who are you? This is the Yang family residence!"
"I am a divine doctor!" Lu Fan said with a solemn expression. "I can cure the old madam's illness!"
Lu Fan's words became urgent. He knew very well that this was not the time for a family reunion. If anything happened to the old madam, Lu Fan would be responsible.
"Is that true?"
The men were somewhat disbelieving. Lu Fan looked too young to be a divine doctor.
"Of course, it's true!"
Lu Fan stated directly, "If we delay any longer, the old madam's condition will worsen, and it will be even more troublesome!"
"What's going on?"
At that moment, a graceful figure approached, casting her gaze upon Lu Fan and the others.
"Miss Shiyun, he says he's a divine doctor and claims he can cure the old madam's illness!" one of the men said.
Yang Shiyun looked at Lu Fan. "Can you really cure my grandmother's illness?"
"You are Yang Shiyun?"
Lu Fan was slightly surprised, his gaze falling upon the woman before him.
He clearly remembered Yang Shiyun playing with him when they were children. He hadn't expected her to grow up so gracefully.
"How do you know my name?" Yang Shiyun asked, surprised.
"I can't worry about that now. I need to go and see the old madam's condition!" Lu Fan said. He didn't want to explain too much, as lives were at stake.
Yang Shiyun was somewhat suspicious. Although she didn't fully believe Lu Fan, she couldn't say much. After all, anyone who came to treat her must have some skill, otherwise, they wouldn't dare to come so casually. Su Dan Novel Network
Upon reaching the room, Yang Shihai suddenly blocked the door. "What is going on?"
"He says he has a way!" Yang Shiyun said, "Treating a dying horse as if it were alive might offer a sliver of hope!"
"It's too late!" Yang Shihai's expression was cold. "The old madam has already passed away!"
With these words, Yang Shiyun trembled slightly. This was the news she least wanted to hear, but there was nothing she could do now. She knew that once a person passed away, they could never return, and even a celestial being could not help.
