The Su Clan of the City of Crafts.
Inside a quiet and elegant room, Ling Xian laid on the bed, unmoving. It was obvious that he was still in a deep coma.
His breathing was still weak, but it was calming down. He had regained some vitality.
Before the bed stood a man and a woman. The woman was Su Xiu, and the man was a white-haired elder.
He stared at Ling Xian's pale face with some shock and some pity.
After a long while, the elder sighed, "Aye, this child has been through so much."
"That's true. His meridians and bones are all broken, and his internal organs are severely damaged."
Su Xiu sighed. Other than shock, there was also some admiration in her eyes, "Brother's determination is far too strong. If it was me, I would've died from the pain."
"The grandson of my old friend is not bad."
The elder grinned and shifted his gaze to Su Xiu. He teased, "Plus, he is going to be your husband. If he is bad, why would I betroth you to him?"
"Grandpa …"
Su Xiu furrowed her brows and retorted, "You've already arranged an engagement for me and my brother before we were even born. I don't believe that you knew he was extraordinary at that time."
Hearing this, the elder smiled awkwardly, "Don't worry about the time. At least now, this person is extraordinary and is worthy of my granddaughter."
"Grandpa, we haven't even made a decision yet." Su Xiu's frown deepened. It was obvious that she was unwilling.
"This matter has already been decided over twenty years ago."
The elder grinned, "After Jun Yu wakes up, you can marry him. That will fulfill my old friend's wish."
As he spoke, his mood became gloomy, revealing a hint of sadness.
This made Su Xiu frown. She wanted to say no, but seeing how sad the elder was, she couldn't bring herself to say it.
"Grandpa, the Zhang Clan was destroyed. Brother is in a mourning period. If we get married, it won't make sense."
Hearing this, the elder frowned and sighed, "You're right. I didn't think this through."
"Plus, brother's condition is not stable. Whether or not he can survive is still unknown."
Su Xiu heaved a sigh of relief and continued to persuade, "What we need to consider now is how to preserve Daoist Brother's life. It's absolutely not about love."
"Now that he's in my Su family, even if he doesn't want to live, I won't let him die!"
The old man's voice was sonorous. "If I let him die, how can I face my old friend in the underworld?"
"But Daoist Brother's injuries are too severe. We've used up all of our Su Clan's elixirs, but they've only stabilized him a little."
Su Xiu shook her head with a bitter smile. Ever since she brought Ling Xian back to the Su Clan, she used all the healing Dans in the clan on him.
Yet all it did was increase Ling Xian's vitality. It wasn't even improving his condition. Why wouldn't she bitterly smile?
"Sigh, my Su Family is just a small family after all."
The old man let out a long sigh. Although his Su Clan was one of the three great clans of the Weapon City, in the entire mainland, it was merely the weakest power.
Therefore, the "elixirs" Su Xiu spoke of were merely ordinary Dans that had no effect.
"Grandpa, there's no need to sigh. One day, I will make the Su Clan rule the continent!" Su Xiu's face was determined. Her eyes shone with ambition.
"It's good to have a goal. But don't give yourself too much pressure. Grandpa only wants you to be safe and happy."
The old man waved his hand. After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth, "Bring me the Thousand Year Snow Ginseng. Right now, this is the only thing that can save Jun Yu's life."
Su Xiu's expression changed, "Grandpa, that's for you to extend your life. You can't use it on someone else!"
"Don't say anymore. I cannot watch Jun Yu die." The old man sighed, "Or else, how can I face my old friend in the underworld?"
"Grandpa …"
Su Xiu lost her composure. The old man was the pillar of the Su Clan. If he dies, the Su Clan will be devoured by the other two clans.
"There's no need to say anymore. I have made up my mind."
The old man brandished his hand. Looking at the unwilling Su Xiu, he said, "I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, my old bones can hold on for a few more years."
Then, he shifted his gaze towards Ling Xian and sighed, "But Jun Yu can at most hold on for 10 days. So, let's use the Thousand Year Snow Ginseng on him first."
Hearing this, Su Xiu didn't try to persuade him anymore. She knew the old man's personality very well. He was soft on the outside but hard on the inside.
She turned around and left the room.
After a short while, she returned with a green jade box in her hand.
"Grandpa, are you really going to disregard your own life and give him the Thousand Year Snow Ginseng?" Su Xiu hesitated.
"When have I ever changed my mind about something I've decided on?"
The old man smiled. He flapped around his sleeve and the green jade box automatically opened, revealing the Thousand Year Snow Ginseng.
It was pure white, like snow and ice, flawless and flawless. The moment it appeared, the temperature dropped to freezing point.
It was the Thousand Year Snow Ginseng.
This item was extremely rare. It could prolong one's life and heal injuries. It was known as the best of all ginseng. Even the most powerful forces didn't have it. If the old man wasn't lucky, the Su Clan wouldn't have the right to own it.
"Thank you for the fortune I had back then. Or else I would have to watch Jun Yu die."
Looking at the floating Thousand Year Snow Ginseng, the old man was reluctant. But very quickly, it turned into determination.
Then, he used his Qi to melt the snow ginseng into liquid. Then, he asked Ling Xian to open his mouth and pour it into his body.
Instantly, Ling Xian's entire body quivered. His meridians and bones healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even his internal organs felt better.
From this, it was obvious that the Thousand Year Snow Ginseng lived up to its name.
However, Ling Xian still did not wake up. If it weren't for his weak breathing, everyone would've thought he was dead.
This made Su Xiu frown. She felt like she wasted all her efforts.
Seeing this, the old man waved his hand, "Don't worry. His injuries have stabilized. The Thousand Year Snow Ginseng was not wasted. The reason why he hasn't woken up is because his injuries are too severe and he needs time to heal. "
"How long will that take?" Su Xiu frowned. She didn't like Ling Xian anymore.
Because the Thousand Year Snow Ginseng was used by the old man to prolong his life. In other words, Ling Xian's life was exchanged with the old man's.
"It's hard to say. It depends on his physique. But his life has been saved. I didn't let my old friend down."
The old man sighed in relief and smiled, "Let's go. Let Jun Yu rest."
After saying that, he walked toward the door.
Su Xiu did the same. But before she left, she glanced at Ling Xian with a complex expression.
Seeing the two of them leave, the beast of space that had been waiting by the door finally stopped worrying. It heard the entire conversation between the grandpa and granddaughter and naturally knew that Ling Xian was no longer in danger.
This calmed it down and made it very proud.
Not only did I save your life, I also allowed you to pick up a wife for free. Ehem … ehem … she is just a little ugly, not even one ten-thousandth of my goddess.
The beast of space was silently proud. Every time it thought of its goddess' round body, it couldn't control itself.
