CHAPTER 173: CHAPTER 174: VISITING TINGYAN 5

Nianyang followed to the floor below the medical room and suddenly ran into a hurried group led by Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu was the first to recognize Nianyang and was so surprised that he froze, "Saozi, is that you? How did you get here?"

Nianyang recognized Xiao Wu as one of Li Tingyan’s men and smiled at him,

"It’s me. I’m here to see Li Tingyan. He’s inside, right?"

"Wow, so this is Cold Yama’s wife. She’s really beautiful!"

"Isn’t Cold Yama supposed to be indifferent to women? There are so many pretty girls in Pingjing’s girl groups, and he didn’t pay any attention to them, yet he found himself a wife!"

"Oh please, look at how gorgeous she is. How can the girls in the groups even compare?"

Sailors passing by chattered curiously about Nianyang, indicating that men can be quite gossip-prone these days too.

"Hello, Saozi!"

Li Tingyan’s subordinates politely greeted Nianyang.

"Hello, everyone." Nianyang responded in kind, "Congratulations on your safe return."

"Saozi, we really have to thank you for the medicine you prepared for us; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy for us to come back!"

"That’s right, Saozi, you have no idea how damp the mountains are down south, with poisonous creatures everywhere. I got bitten by a venomous snake and thought it was the end for me, but thankfully, your antidote for snake bites saved my life!"

"Saozi, your medicine is truly miraculous. I accidentally injured my leg this time, and if it weren’t for your anti-inflammatory medicine, my leg would have been ruined."

The monkey, with his right leg wrapped in bandages and leaning on a crutch, gave a silly grin to Nianyang.

"No need to thank me. I’m just glad you all made it back safely. It seems the medicines I brought were indeed useful."

After recovering from his surprise, Xiao Wu apologized with a guilty look on his face, "Saozi, I’m sorry. We didn’t protect Master Li well enough. This time was truly dangerous. To protect us and the supplies on the ship, Master Li got exposed to the enemy’s Hallucinogenic Drug while dodging pirates, and then his chest was accidentally injured."

"What?"

Nianyang’s heart sank, and her tone became urgent, "How could this happen? Didn’t he wear a mask? He shouldn’t have been exposed to the drug; it must not have hit any vital parts, right?"

"Master Li gave his mask to Chief Sheng."

"How is Li Tingyan doing now?"

"According to the initial examination by the doctor, Commander Li has a severe heart injury. The medical equipment here isn’t very good, and the doctor couldn’t determine the exact location, so they’re hesitant to operate on Master Li. His condition is too severe to move him carelessly. We sent a message to Pingjing three days ago, requesting Doctor Ni to come for rescue. Master Li is still in a coma..."

As Xiao Wu spoke, his eyes turned red, and he lowered his head, afraid to see Nianyang’s reaction.

"So you’re telling me that Li Tingyan’s heart injury hasn’t been addressed for three days? Just waiting!" Nianyang swayed, overwhelmed by the shock and nearly fainted.

"Yes, we were just planning to call again to check if Doctor Ni had arrived, and then we ran into you, Saozi..."

Before Xiao Wu could finish, a burst of disorderly footsteps came from behind,

"Everyone, please make way, Doctor Ni from Pingjing has arrived..."
