From the handset, the nurse’s voice continued, “Hello? Hello? Madam Ying, are you still there?”

“Mr. Ying’s condition is very bad, and without a family member’s signature, we don’t dare to perform major surgery on him. Please come quickly, thank you for your cooperation.”

Zhong Manhua’s gaze was vacant, unable to snap back to reality.

After a long while, she grabbed her handbag and rushed out.

With her other hand, she picked up the mobile phone and called Ying Tianlv, her voice trembling and discordant, “Tian, Tianlv, your dad… your dad has had an accident, he’s currently in the hospital undergoing resuscitation, Mom is begging you, can you come and see your dad, please?”

**

Fifteen minutes later, First Hospital.

The lights in the emergency room were still on.

A doctor came out from inside, wearing a mask and dripping with sweat.

“Doctor, what happened to my husband?” Zhong Manhua hurried forward, anxious, “Why did he suddenly faint?”

Hearing this, the doctor glanced at her.

The doctors at First Hospital mostly didn’t have a good impression of the Ying Family.

But they had no choice, the sacred duty of a doctor is to save lives and heal the injured.

No matter how much they disliked the people of the Ying Family, they still had to save them.

“The patient fainted due to excessive fatigue and insufficient blood supply to the brain,” the doctor spoke indifferently, “However, we just ran some tests and found some problems with the patient’s liver and lung functions, and we need to perform surgery immediately.”

Zhong Manhua’s body swayed, unable to believe what she had heard, “Liver and lungs?”

Ying Zhenting was a regular fitness enthusiast, always robust, and had his health checked on time every year.

The last check-up was during winter vacation.

How long had it been since then?

How could his liver and lungs have problems so suddenly?

“Emotions are very important,” the doctor added, “Some diseases are emotionally induced — have you ever heard of certain cancer patients who live longer because of a positive outlook?”

After saying this, without looking to see what expression Zhong Manhua wore, he went to the washroom to rinse off and then hurried back into the emergency room.

Zhong Manhua waited outside, her face getting paler as the time passed.

By the time Ying Tianlv arrived at First Hospital, Ying Zhenting had temporarily left the danger zone and was transferred to the intensive care ward.

After learning about Ying Zhenting’s current physical condition from the doctor, Tianlv also found it rather strange.

Acute liver failure.

Ying Zhenting was in the prime of his life; how could his organs fail so suddenly?

As the pillar of the Ying Family, Zhong Manhua panicked at his sudden collapse, “Tianlv, what should we do? What if your dad doesn’t wake up?”

Tianlv didn’t answer that comment but frowned instead, “I just asked the doctor; the doctor said it might be a viral infection.”

“Viral infection?” Zhong Manhua’s body shook again, “Your dad has always been at the company; how could he get a viral infection?”

“I will look into it.” Ying Tianlv pursed his lips, then suddenly spoke out, “Mom, I just want to ask you, do you still have no sense of guilt to this point? Don’t you think you have done something wrong?”

“You went to ask Zijin for help with grandma’s illness last time and you apologized to her, was that truly sincere? Are you sure it wasn’t moral coercion forcing her? When will you suddenly come to your senses?”

He had long noticed that it was for her own interests that Zhong Manhua acted this way.

Human hearts can be so shallow.

Truly laughable.

At the mention of Ying Zijin’s name, Zhong Manhua’s expression became a few shades paler, “I did no wrong. The biggest mistake I made was bringing her back.”

“Why don’t you look at how many things have gone wrong in our family since she came back?”

Hearing this, Ying Tianlv knew that any further persuasion would be futile.

He took a deep breath, somewhat laughingly, “You blame everything on Zijin? Is she your scapegoat?”

Zhong Manhua said nothing, clearly consenting.

Ying Tianlv let go of his smile, “Mom, I will still provide for you in your old age, but I will never forgive you, not ever.”

Zhong Manhua’s face changed as she opened her mouth to say something, but Ying Tianlv cut her off.

“Grandfather is getting older, and if you won’t look after him, I have to go back and take care of him,” Tianlv said indifferently, “You only need your foster daughter. I’m of no use here anyway, I’ll go back first.”

Without another glance at Zhong Manhua, he walked out of the ward.

At this moment, Zhong Manhua began to regret it somewhat.

She really wanted to reconcile with Ying Tianlv, but pride consistently stood in her way, and she habitually blustered harsh words.

Elder Zhong didn’t like her; going to the Zhong Family was just asking for a scolding, so naturally, she didn’t want to go.

“Madam Ying, please come over here,” the attending doctor gently knocked on the ward door, calmly stating, “There’s a surgical consent form, you need to sign it.”

Zhong Manhua snapped back to her senses and went out, her face ashen.

Two nurses came in.

“I’m saying it’s retribution for their family,” one nurse murmured while changing Ying Zhenting’s IV, “Forcing their own biological daughter to donate blood, and now they themselves have fallen ill.”

“Sooner or later, Madam Ying will meet with misfortune as well.”

What goes around comes around.

Sinful force feedback.

It was an unavoidable matter.

“At the workplace, official business and personal matters should be kept separate. You can’t talk like that,” another nurse frowned and glanced at her, “If the head nurse heard you, you’d lose a month’s salary.”

The nurse dared not speak further.

She picked up the medicine tray and left the ward.

**

Ancient Martial World.

Xie Family.

A young man lay on the bed, his features handsome and profound.

But his complexion was as pale as paper, without a trace of color on his lips, and his body was frighteningly cold, with hardly any movement in his chest.

If not for his faint breathing, there wouldn’t be much difference between him and a dead man.

On the man’s head, shoulders, and limbs were five Golden Needles, which trembled slightly.

There were three other people in the room.

One was an old man with a white beard, whose eyebrows and hair were also silver-white.

“Great Elder,” the Glamorous Lady wiped away her tears and spoke, “Can you divine how much longer Ah Yu can hold on?”

The Great Elder stroked his beard, his brow furrowed tightly, “If we don’t find a suitable candidate soon, even with the herbs, he won’t last more than three months.”

Upon hearing this statement, the Glamorous Lady’s face turned white, and she nearly fainted.

She sobbed, “It’s a sin, such a cruel fate for Ah Yu.”

“Mom, there’s still a chance,” Xie Feng supported Madam Xie, “as long as I bring back the Ying Family’s daughter identified by the Great Elder.”

“But didn’t you say it’s very likely that she’s already dead?” Madam Xie wiped her tears, “How can we proceed with marriage if the person is dead?”

If it were in the past, Madam Xie would never have allowed Xie Yu to marry a commoner.

Not to mention a commoner; she wouldn’t even approve of daughters from other Ancient Martial Families.

Only Lin Qingjia was worthy in her eyes.

But there was no choice, Xie Yu was down to his last breath.

Xie Feng turned to the Great Elder, “Please, Great Elder, divine once more to check her exact location in O Continent and whether she’s still alive.”

As long as she’s alive, she must return to the country.

Sooner or later, he would bring her to the Ancient Martial World.

Even if Ying Zijin did not wish to marry Xie Yu, she would have no choice.

The Great Elder nodded.

Madam Xie’s hope was renewed.

The Great Elder took out Nine Copper Coins and placed them in order on the ground beneath his feet.

Then, under the influence of Inner Strength, the coins slowly lifted into the air.

Xie Feng watched and couldn’t help but softly exclaim in admiration, “The Great Elder’s divination skills are indeed formidable.”

The Great Elder, although not a member of the Xie Family Main House, had firmly secured his position.

It was because he not only practiced divination but was also an expert in Ancient Martial arts.

Such a person was even rarer than an Ancient Physician and Martial Practitioner.

After all, those with a Divination Talent were exceedingly rare

For many years, it was only the Great Elder.

Moreover, he was adept at seeking advantages and avoiding harm. He divined, but didn’t interfere personally; even if fate changed, it wouldn’t change because of him. Thus, the punishment he received was lessened.

With Inner Strength to protect him, his lifespan was longer than that of an ordinary Diviner.

The Xie Family was the only Ancient Martial Family that didn’t need any dealings with the Di Wu Clan.

Having the Great Elder was enough.

Xie Feng concentrated on the swirling Copper Coins, feeling an immense pressure and took a step back.

He recalled the Great Elder mentioning this method of divination, which ordinary people could not understand.

It was called Money Divination.

Most Diviners could only manipulate three Copper Coins at most.

Nine is the ultimate number; and the more coins there are, the greater the matters that can be divined.

The Great Elder, with his eyes closed, also moved his fingers calculatingly.

One second, two seconds, three seconds… time ticked by, second after second.

When the Eighty-first second arrived, the Nine Copper Coins stopped their rolling, and suddenly stilled!

Meanwhile.

Ying Zijin, who was lying in the yard watching the stars, raised her head.

Her listless expression withdrew and her eyes suddenly narrowed.
