“Dad!”

Yu Qingfei cried out sadly and ran into the villa.

Chen Xiao followed closely behind Yu Qingfei and arrived outside a room.

The doorway to the bedroom was crowded with people, mostly dressed in black, but two of them were particularly conspicuous!

These two were standing at the door, not wearing anything too colorful.

However, they were both wearing ancient robes and their hair was tied up in a bun.

They looked like characters who had stepped out of an ancient costume drama.

However, this style seemed a little ostentatious for the occasion.

Chen Xiao had no impression of these two at all and had never seen them before.

One of them was old and the other was middle-aged, around forty years old.

The old man's face was covered with age spots and he was skinny, looking at least eighty years old.

No one knew what relationship these two had with Qi Tianhu.

Seeing Qi Qingfei rushing over, the old man quickly stepped aside and made way at the door.

He sighed, "I'm sorry, Qingfei niece, I have done my best, but I couldn't save Brother Qi. Hurry in and see Brother Qi for the last time."

Qi Qingfei was already sobbing and couldn't speak. She nodded to the old man and staggered into the room.

Chen Xiao quickly followed.

There was no one else in the room, only Qi Tianhu's body lying quietly on the bed.

Qi Tianhu had a tough life. He lost his parents when he was young. After marrying and having children, his wife also passed away in the second year after giving birth to Qi Qingfei.

So, despite his imposing presence and entourage on the outside, he was actually all alone except for his daughter, Qi Qingfei.

"Dad..."

Qi Qingfei collapsed by the bed, crying uncontrollably.

Qi Tianhu's face was pale and his lips were blue. He was completely dead.

In this condition, even a Daluo Jinxian (highest level of celestial being) probably couldn't save him.

"I'm sorry, Dad, I invited Master, but it's too late. If only I had been faster..."

Qi Qingfei blamed herself, clutching her hair.

Chen Xiao patted Qi Qingfei on the back and whispered, "Qingfei, let me try again. Maybe there's still hope."

Qi Qingfei's eyes lit up. "Really? Master, are you serious? Can my dad still be saved?"

"Let me try first. I will do my best!"

Chen Xiao didn't dare guarantee that he could bring Qi Tianhu back to life.

He had indeed had a few experiences of bringing people back from the dead, but that was because the time of death was short and they hadn't completely died.

But looking at Qi Tianhu's current condition, he had been dead for at least half an hour, and his body had completely lost its vitality.

If he had arrived twenty minutes earlier, Chen Xiao would have been 100% confident in bringing Qi Tianhu back to life.

But now, his confidence was less than 30%.

Chen Xiao placed his hands on Qi Tianhu's chest, and spiritual energy slowly entered Qi Tianhu's body.

There was no other way but to use spiritual energy to activate Qi Tianhu's bodily functions. Whether it would succeed depended on Qi Tianhu's own destiny.

But at this moment, a furious shout suddenly came from behind him.

"Boy, what are you doing?"

Accompanied by this angry roar, the middle-aged man in ancient costume walked over furiously.

The old man in ancient costume followed closely behind, although he didn't speak, his face was very ugly.

Qi Qingfei quickly explained to the old man, "Uncle Sun, this is Chen Xiao I told you about. He's saving my dad!"

"He's the Divine Doctor Chen you mentioned? I didn't expect him to be so young!"

Old Sun narrowed his eyes slightly, filled with suspicion.

Qi Qingfei nodded. "That's right, Uncle Sun. Don't look at him being young, his medical skills are really amazing. Last time my dad was critically ill, he was the one who saved him!"

"Nonsense!"

The middle-aged man in ancient costume cursed directly.

"Miss Qi, I advise you to open your eyes and be careful not to be deceived. Moreover, your father's attack this time is related to the previous overdrawing of his body!"

Although he didn't say it directly, his words were clearly aimed at Chen Xiao.

"Senior Brother Luo, I won't allow you to say that about Chen Xiao!"

Qi Qingfei would naturally not tolerate others slandering her master in front of her!

The middle-aged man called Senior Brother Luo was named Luo Shu, and was Old Sun's disciple.

Luo Shu smiled helplessly. "Miss Qi, I'm doing this for your own good!"

Qi Qingfei still wanted to argue, but Chen Xiao suddenly said, "Qingfei, you don't have to argue with him anymore. Your father is alive!"

Hearing this, Qi Qingfei immediately looked at the bed. Although Qi Tianhu hadn't woken up, his face was obviously rosy.

Most importantly, he could breathe, and he had a heartbeat, although it was very weak, it was definitely there!

Seeing this scene, Luo Shu's face was full of horror. "This... how is this possible!"

Chen Xiao breathed a long sigh of relief. Although he had appeared calm just now, in reality, he had used all his skills to activate Qi Tianhu's bodily functions.

Most of the spiritual energy in his body had been used up, and his back was soaked with sweat.

But the result was good after all. Qi Tianhu had finally regained a trace of life.

Qi Qingfei was filled with mixed emotions, which were difficult to describe.

But Luo Shu's face was very ugly, as if he wasn't very happy that Qi Tianhu had come back to life.

He asked Old Sun, "Master, what's going on?"

Old Sun ignored him and took a few steps forward before suddenly speaking, "Young man, you really have some skills. If I'm not mistaken, you should be a cultivator with a high level of cultivation, right?"

Chen Xiao didn't deny it.

Old Sun suddenly glared and shouted, "But do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have cultivated some weird skills? Do you know what you are doing?"

Qi Qingfei was stunned by Old Sun's anger.

Then she questioned angrily, "Uncle Sun, what's wrong with you? My father has clearly been saved by him. Why are you saying that about him?"

"Humph! Saved?"

Old Sun snorted coldly.

"Qingfei niece, you are confused! This kid is just using internal force to forcibly activate your father's bodily functions, creating the illusion that your father has come back to life!"

"And what he's doing is useless. The poison in your father's body is still acting up. If this poison isn't解 (jie - dispelled, neutralized), your father will still die!"

"And that means, all he's doing is making your father experience the pain of death again!"

"How is this saving people? This kid is clearly亵渎 (xièdú - desecrating, profaning) the corpse! And showing off his own skills!"

The old man spoke logically, as if he had seen through everything.

Chen Xiao not only didn't get angry, but also applauded Old Sun.

"Not bad, not bad, it seems that you have some skills and are very knowledgeable. I admit, your analysis is very accurate!"

After Chen Xiao mocked him, he suddenly changed the subject.

"But there's one thing you're wrong about. Why do you think I can't dispel the poison?"
