She took out a fast-acting pill that emitted a faint glow from her spatial storage and gently placed it into her grandfather's slightly open mouth. As a gentle yet powerful medicinal force instantly spread throughout his body, coupled with the stimulation of the silver needles, her grandfather's originally pale face seemed to regain some color, and his condition was temporarily relieved.

A moment later, he slowly opened his tightly closed eyes, and a weak voice rang in Lu Lingxi Yao's ears.

"Yaoyao..."

During his long period of seclusion, his greatest concern was for his granddaughter. Because she was born unable to cultivate spiritual power and martial arts, she was often ridiculed and bullied. However, as the head of the Lu Ling family, he was responsible for the rise and fall of the family and was bound by heavy family affairs and responsibilities. Even though he was full of worries, he was often powerless and unable to protect her by her side at all times.

But his granddaughter was sensible from a young age, always hiding her inner bitterness with a warm smile, and never reporting bad news, which made him both gratified and heartbroken.

To his surprise, just as he was about to leave the pass, several figures hidden in the shadows darted out like ghosts. They were swift and ruthless, clearly having planned this in advance.

Although he was in the middle of cultivation, he instantly sensed danger. However, at this crucial moment of breakthrough, he could not be careless. The opponent's attack was fierce, leaving him no chance to catch his breath. Originally, a powerful vortex of spiritual energy was gradually forming in his sea of ​​qi, but he had to forcibly stop it in order to resist this sudden threat.

Although he ultimately defeated his enemy, the spiritual energy within him, which had been forcibly stopped and was now boiling, was like a beast breaking free of its restraints, rampaging uncontrollably through his meridians. Each impact felt like a thousand arrows piercing his heart, causing unbearable pain. His eyes gradually lost focus, and his reason collapsed under the raging tide of spiritual energy. In the end, he fell into the abyss of demonic possession.

He felt everything around him begin to blur and distort, as if he were in a chaotic world. He heard the roar of surging spiritual energy in his ears and saw a nightmare of interwoven illusions before his eyes. He tried hard to grasp that sliver of clarity, but like a drowning person, the more he struggled, the deeper he sank.

When she heard Lu Lingyuntian call her "Yaoyao," it was like a dusty key unlocking the door to her past life memories. Her grandfather used to call her by her nickname so gently.

At this moment, she really wanted to acknowledge Lu Lingyuntian, but if she did so rashly, it would only alert the mastermind and prevent the truth from being revealed.

Therefore, she chose to endure it, temporarily setting aside her feelings and prioritizing the greater good.

As Lu Lingyun's blurred vision gradually cleared and he realized that the person in front of him was not his granddaughter, his eyes suddenly dimmed.

"Child, who are you?"

Leng Aotian (Lu Lingxi Yao) had no expression on his face, just like an unknown junior, and replied indifferently: "Your spiritual veins are completely severed, and you need to rest in bed."

Lu Lingyun was aware of his physical condition, but when he heard others tell him this in person, his heart still ached terribly.

Thinking of the future of the Lu Ling family, his eyes were filled with worry. Originally, he had gone into seclusion to seek a breakthrough so that he could lead the family to go further. But now the spiritual veins were all severed, and the capable people in the family were still young. No one could take up the position of family head. Could it be... that the heavens were going to destroy the Lu Ling family?

Seeing the worry in Lu Lingyuntian's eyes, Lu Lingxiyao instantly understood that she would never let the Lu Ling family decline; she would make the Lu Ling clan famous throughout the entire continent.

She said softly, "Master, don't think so much. You need to rest now."

Then, she bent down and whispered in Lu Lingyuntian's ear, "Trust me, I will heal you."

After saying that, she stood up straight, took Huan Yue with her, and strode out of the house.

Lu Lingyuntian stared blankly at his departing figure, his heart filled with mixed feelings—surprise, emotion, and a barely perceptible sense of relief.
