Chapter 488 -488, Ulterior Motives (4 More)

Watching her child in pain, a mother feels even more agonizing.

“I can’t say for the moment. My medical skills are limited; you should ask the old master instead. He has seen much and knows far more than I do!”

Upon seeing this, Dugu Zhen’s eyes widened in shock.

This wretched girl.

Zhao Xiuya directed her gaze toward Dugu Zhen, and Qin Yu also looked at him.

The couple had not found it easy to have this child, especially being Martial Artists who carry many hidden injuries—it’s uncertain when they might hurt some part of their bodies and cause significant harm, affecting their offspring.

...

Add to that the wife’s early poisoning, bearing this child was all the more difficult.

“Senior…” Qin Yu called out softly, nearly bursting into tears.

With a thud, he knelt down, “Senior, I beg you to save Maomao. He, he…”

Dugu Zhen indeed accepted the gesture.

“Stand up first. Even if this child wakes up, his fundamental health has been damaged. Moreover, since his body was poisoned early on, I’m afraid he might end up intellectually disabled, and even with rare treasures to nourish him, he won’t have much time left!”

No sooner had Dugu Zhen’s words finished when Zhao Xiuya cried out in utter grief, “No!” and then fainted.

“Xiuya!” Qin Yu immediately caught her in his arms.

His heart and eyes filled with worry.

Xie Zhinuan, seeing this, also felt distressed. She went over to pinch Zhao Xiuya’s philtrum first.

After a while, Zhao Xiuya weakly came around and struggling out of Qin Yu’s embrace, she crawled kneeling to the bedside, pressed against the child, and silently shed tears.

More heartbreaking than those gut-wrenching cries was this silent weeping.

And it was even harder to bear.

Xie Zhinuan glared at Dugu Zhen, grabbed his sleeve, and pulled him out of the cabin to the ship’s deck, “Why would you say such things? Look how scared you’ve made her. You claim to be a divine doctor, but is this how a divine doctor should act?”

“Hey, you sure have quite a temper, you little brat!” Dugu Zhen retorted.

Greeted by a fierce glare from Xie Zhinuan, he pursed his lips and didn’t dare retort any further.

But he pleaded softly, “Girl, I know you possess extraordinary treasures; please, save the child!”

“…”

Xie Zhinuan remained silent.

She pursued medical study to bring relief to the common people of the world.

Having been granted this space, she should put it to good use, not keep it only for herself.

Loving oneself isn’t true love; harboring compassion for all people of the world is the greatest love.

“I can try, but all I can do is try. You know, the child’s pulse is so faint it’s barely detectable. I can’t guarantee success; I can only say I will do my utmost. But I’ll need your help with the acupuncture, as I don’t know how to apply needles!” Xie Zhinuan spoke softly.

By saying this, she committed herself to the task.

“You can learn. You’re the most impressive student I’ve ever had. Others spend a lifetime learning Martial Arts or medicine and still remain mediocre, but you reached the pinnacle in less than a year. Let me tell you…”

“Don’t try to flatter me. Tell me, what is your relationship with those two, that you would go to such lengths to help them?” Xie Zhinuan looked straight at Dugu Zhen.

“…” Dugu Zhen pursed his lips and let out a soft breath, “They are the children of my late wife’s maternal relatives!”

“…”

So that was it.

Xie Zhinuan suddenly understood.

“Girl, please save the child. Consider it a debt I owe you. From now on, for the rest of my life, as long as I draw breath, I’ll do anything you ask without a second word!” Dugu Zhen was utterly sincere, his voice carrying a plea.

He knew, in this world, if there truly was someone who could save the child, it was Xie Zhinuan, and no one else.

“Alright!” Xie Zhinuan agreed.

She had intended to save a life anyway, and now with Dugu Zhen’s promise, it was an unexpected joy.

And that couple, capable of slaughtering assassins until rivers of blood flowed, were surely no ordinary characters.

People of the Martial World, ah…
