The immediate agreement on the phone left Gu Tingyun overjoyed. He abandoned his meal and headed straight for the hospital, "Are you free tonight? If it's possible, tonight we..."
"Yes."
The Nether Doctor's answer was simple and direct. Upon hearing this, Gu Tingyun rushed out of the restaurant.
There was hope!
His daughter had hope!
By the time he arrived at the hospital ward, someone was already there.
This person wore a black mask, and his exposed eyes looked very young.
Seeing how young this person was, Gu Tingyun paused. Could this be the Nether Doctor?
Indeed, from their conversation on the phone, he had sensed that the person on the other end was not very old.
But seeing the young man in person, he still felt a bit hesitant.
"Hello... May I ask if you are..."
"Nether Doctor," the masked youth said.
"Nether Doctor, so young..."
Gu Tingyun couldn't believe it, but then he quickly said, "My apologies, I was a bit shocked. A hero emerges from youth, it was my rudeness."
"It's fine."
The Nether Doctor showed no reaction and proactively pushed open the door to the ward.
"Mr. Nether Doctor, you see, can my daughter still be saved?" Gu Tingyun stood aside, unsure of what to do.
"Yes."
After just one look, the Nether Doctor stated decisively, "There are only two people in this world who can save your daughter, and I am one of them."
"Really!"
Gu Tingyun immediately said, "Mr. Nether Doctor, then please help! How much money do you want, just name your price!"
"I want more than just money."
The Nether Doctor had already walked to the bedside, and a bag of silver needles appeared in his hand.
However, this bag of silver needles was slightly different from the one Lin Xiao always carried, and the needles themselves were also a bit different.
Yet, their techniques shared a common origin.
As the silver needles were placed, the Nether Doctor spoke, "Poison has attacked the heart, damaging all the internal organs and meridians. Half of her body has failed. It's a stroke of luck that she's still alive."
"Yes... I heard that someone stabilized my daughter's condition yesterday, otherwise before reaching the hospital, she would have... died," Gu Tingyun quickly said.
"I know."
The Nether Doctor said, "The one who acted was the Divine Doctor."
"The Divine Doctor?"
Gu Tingyun paused.
He knew that the "Divine Doctor" the Nether Doctor mentioned was not an adjective but a proper noun.
And on the land of Longguo, there was only one person who could be called the Divine Doctor.
"The Divine Doctor, is also here?!"
Gu Tingyun's voice suddenly rose by three decibels.
"Of course... he is my senior brother," the Nether Doctor said.
After injecting a stream of vital energy into Gu Ming's body, he turned to look at Gu Tingyun, "Go and prepare more tonic herbs. Afterwards, her body will need to be replenished. As for the poison, the hospital has already cleared most of it. If we solely relied on modern medicine, her internal organs would need transplantation, and even then, there's no guarantee your daughter would live for long."
"I am now helping to stimulate the last bit of vitality within her," the Nether Doctor said. It wasn't just that simple; he also needed to use his vital energy to protect Gu Ming's internal organs and meridians. "These silver needles cannot be removed. When your tonic arrives, feed it to her, and only then can I withdraw the needles."
