Granny Nie inserted another needle.
The pain and burning sensation multiplied.
Su Xuan gripped the edge of the wooden bucket tightly.
Granny Nie looked at the veins on his hand and reminded, “Don’t resist. You’ll go berserk.”
Su Xuan loosened his fingers bit by bit.
Granny Nie inserted a total of 26 needles.
Each needle was more painful than the last.
She originally thought that Su Xuan would stop and rest after five needles and faint after ten needles.
However, he didn’t.
This child’s willpower was terrifying.
Granny Nie said, “My husband once relieved a person from the a.s.sa.s.sin
Alliance. That person died of pain.”
Su Xuan was sweating profusely. He endured the pain all over his body and said, “Granny, just give me the injection… I can still take it.”
Granny Nie said, “The first round of 26 needles is the least painful. After drinking the medicine, we’ll perform the second round of acupuncture, 36 needles. You can rest for a while now.”
Granny Nie put away the needles.
After 26 needles of pain, the pain brought about by the medicinal bath was almost nothing.
As Su Xuan lay on the edge of the wooden bucket and looked at the high roof beam, his eyes emptied bit by bit.
“Granny, the medicine is ready.”
Su Xiaoxiao pushed the door open and entered.
Granny Nie said, “Feed it to your brother.”
Su Xiaoxiao carried the medicine bowl to the wooden bucket.
During this period of time, she had carefully recuperated Su Xuan. It was not easy for him to recuperate a little. After not seeing him for two hours, he was ridiculously weak again.
—She would never admit that her heart ached a little.
The medicine was very bitter.
Su Xuan finished it in one gulp without even blinking.
Next was the second round of acupuncture.
Su Xiaoxiao also went to brew the second medicine.
Time pa.s.sed bit by bit, and dusk fell.
Su Xiaoxiao sent the last bowl of medicine in.
But this was not the end.
It was the real beginning.
After the effects of acupuncture and medicine, his meridians had reached their optimal state.
Granny Nie had to draw out the Heart Guide Qi in his body bit by bit.
The entire process was not only a huge challenge to Su Xuan, but also an extremely strong exhaustion for Granny Nie.
What she didn’t tell them was that she was taking the same risk as Su Xuan.
Once something went wrong, she would be devoured by the Heart Guide Qi and die.
Xiao Ruyan brought Nie Xiaozhu back from the town.
When they heard that Qin Su was here, the mother and son immediately came to Granny Nie’s courtyard.
Nie Xiaozhu was looking for someone again.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu didn’t come, nor did Cheng Xin.”
Xiao Ruyan reminded her son, “Be good to me. Your Grandma is treating Uncle Xuan’er’s injuries. You can’t disturb them!”
Nie Xiaozhu went to look for Xiao Lin, his puppy.
“Xiaozhu is actually very obedient.”
Su Xiaoxiao said.
When she gave birth in the City Lord Manor, Nie Xiaozhu did not cause any trouble.
Xiao Ruyan curled her lips.
He was obedient in front of others and courted death every day in front of her.
“Has your brother been in there for a long time?” Xiao Ruyan stopped talking about her unfilial son.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Almost a day.”
Xiao Ruyan looked at the closed door and said, “This is my mother-in-law’s first time undoing someone’s Heart Guide. I heard that untying this is quite difficult.”
“Has Xiaozhu’s grandfather ever helped anyone solve it?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Xiao Ruyan sighed. “You’re talking about my father-in-law. When I married into the Nie family, my father-in-law had already pa.s.sed away. My mother-in-law rarely mentioned him, so I’m not very clear about his past.”
Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao was silent, she thought that Su Xiaoxiao was worried that her mother-in-law’s martial arts were inferior to her father-in-law’s and would affect the effect of the Heart Guide in release.
She hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, my father-in-law didn’t hold back when he imparted the Heart Guide to my mother-in-law. My mother-in -law knows it too! She will definitely be able to help your brother remove the Heart Guide!”
Su Xiaoxiao was not in a daze because of this.
She thought of Granny Nie and Elder Qiu.
It was unknown what Elder Qiu had said to Granny Nie that made her, who was already in her fifties, suffer such a huge blow.
It was late at night and Nie Xiaozhu was sleepy. Xiao Ruyan brought him back to the courtyard to shower and sleep.
Wei Ting and Su MO asked Su Xiaoxiao to rest too.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t go.
She was a doctor. She had to stay.
Inside the house, Su Xuan had long come out of the bathtub and was sitting cross-legged on the futon on the floor.
Granny Nie sat behind him, sweating profusely. Her face gradually turned pale.
This is the last and most critical stage.
After pa.s.sing it safely, the Heart Guide would be completely resolved.
However, if they were disturbed, all their previous efforts would be wasted.
However, from the looks of it, she at least did not have to worry that the child would not be able to hold on.
No wonder he could cultivate the Rakshasa Secret Technique. This child… was simply a chosen Rakshasa.
Soon, it was midnight.
Su MO clenched his fists.
Wei Ting stood on the roof and did not dare to relax.
The golden eagle and falcon guarded the big trees on both sides. Not even a sparrow was allowed to fly over this courtyard.
Suddenly, the falcon flapped its wings and looked warily southeast.
Wei Ting looked over and frowned. “Someone’s here!”
On the shaded path illuminated by the moonlight, two figures gradually approached the Nie family with a map.
“I think we’d better go.” Ning Rufeng said calmly.
Sixth Brother looked at the map in his hand. “What’s the hurry? We’re almost there.”
Ning Rufeng said, “It’s impossible for Ninth Junior Brother to be in the Nie family.”
Sixth Brother said confidently, “If he wants to leave the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance, he has to remove the Heart Guide. Looking at the entire island, only Granny Ghost can do it. We’ve been searching for so long, but we haven’t found the whereabouts of that traitor. If he’s not hiding in the Nie family, where else can he be?”
Ning Rufeng said, “Maybe he left the island.”
Sixth Brother sneered. “You can’t wait for him to leave the island, right? I don’t understand. He suppresses you in every way. You were originally the most beloved junior brother but he s.n.a.t.c.hed your position. Don’t you hate him?” Ning Rufeng said coldly, “Do you think everyone is as petty as you?”
Sixth Brother chuckled. “Even if you treat him as a junior brother, he might not treat you as a senior brother.”
Ning Rufeng walked forward. “It’s none of your business.”
Sixth Brother pointed at the fork on the right. “This is the way to the Nie family..”
