As soon as Green Tea finished speaking, Du Ming suddenly shook off my hand, his tone icy: "Green Tea, I've warned you not to try to challenge my limits. This matter has nothing to do with you, and you'd better not get involved!" A chilling aura surrounded him, causing Green Tea's face to turn pale, and she dared not say another word.
I watched Du Ming's tall figure, feeling a mix of emotions. He had defied his own father and given up family affairs for me. I had thought that my medical skills could protect him and help him, but I never expected that my presence would bring him more trouble.
"Lingxi, what's wrong with you?" Bai Wei asked with concern when she saw my pale face.
I forced a smile: "It's nothing, I just..."
"Don't pretend; I can see it," Bai Wei interrupted me and pulled me to sit down in the garden pavilion. "Du Ming has given up family matters for you; you must feel bad about it."
I sighed: "Did I really make a mistake? I only wanted to cure his illness, but I didn't expect to bring him so much trouble."
"How could you think that?" Bai Wei held my hand firmly. "You did nothing wrong; you saved him, and that's his fortune. Du Ming is a man of great integrity; since he chose you, he will protect you well. You need to believe in him!"
Looking into Bai Wei's sincere eyes, I felt a bit more at ease. Yes, I couldn't give up easily; I had to believe in Du Ming and our feelings for each other.
Bai Wei's words lifted my spirits somewhat, but deep down, I knew this matter couldn't just end here. I had to go explain things clearly to Mr. Du.
The next day, I found an opportunity and went alone to Mr. Du's study. Taking a deep breath, I knocked on the door.
"Come in," Mr. Du's voice sounded somewhat weary.
I pushed the door open and saw Mr. Du sitting at his desk, frowning as if he were facing a difficult problem.
"Father, I have something I'd like to discuss with you," I said softly as I approached the desk.
Mr. Du looked up at me briefly and replied coolly, "What is it?"
Gathering my courage, I explained everything about my relationship with Du Ming and the reasons we had to conceal his true condition from him. I hoped he would understand our intentions and stop blaming Du Ming.
However, my explanation did not earn Mr. Du's understanding; instead, it seemed to infuriate him even more.
"Absurd! Simply absurd!" Mr. Du slammed his hand on the table and shouted angrily, "Do you even consider me your father? Do you care about the Du Family at all?"
I was taken aback by Mr. Du's sudden outburst and found myself at a loss for words.
"Leave; I don't want to see you again," Mr. Du waved his hand dismissively, his tone frigid.
I knew that my efforts had failed once again. Helplessly, I turned around and left the study.
Meanwhile, Du Ming was attending a secret meeting focused on the forces behind Green Tea. After extensive investigation, he finally uncovered her true background. It turned out she was not from an ordinary Cultivation Family but rather hailing from a mysterious Hidden Sect. This sect was powerful and acted covertly; even the Du Family dared not provoke them lightly.
"It seems we have all underestimated this woman," Du Ming said darkly, his expression terrifyingly grim.
He originally thought that the Green Tea was just a spoiled young lady who couldn't stir up any trouble. He never expected that such a powerful force was hidden behind her.
An unprecedented sense of crisis surged in Du Ming's heart. He began to doubt whether he could truly protect Guo Lingxi and the Du Family.
I returned to my room in a daze. Bai Wei was not there; she probably went to gather information for me again. I slumped helplessly into a chair, Mr. Du's angry words echoing in my mind, leaving me in turmoil. Did I really make a mistake? Was what I did truly for Du Ming's good, for the Du Family's good?
To distract myself, I casually picked up an ancient book from the table and began to flip through it. It was a rare volume on ancient medical techniques, a treasure left to me by my grandfather. I had always been interested in it, but due to its complexity, I never found the time to study it properly.
As I flipped through it absentmindedly, a line of text suddenly caught my eye: "Using Qi to control needles, transforming decay into the miraculous, capable of resolving the world's strange poisons and healing stubborn ailments and severe injuries..."
My heart jolted. Could this be the legendary Revitalization Technique? It was said that this medical skill could cure any difficult ailment and even bring people back from the dead, but it required an extremely high level of cultivation to perform.
If I could learn this medical technique, could I heal Du Ming and resolve the grievances between the Du Family and the Hidden Sect?
I suddenly felt a glimmer of hope as a strong desire for knowledge surged within me. I began to study this ancient book obsessively, hoping to master this miraculous medical skill as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, Du Ming was also working hard to improve his strength. He locked himself in a secret chamber, practicing day and night without rest. He knew that only by becoming stronger could he protect Guo Lingxi and the Du Family and confront the mysterious and powerful Hidden Sect.
However, the more anxious he became, the more likely he was to go astray in his training. Finally, on a dark and windy night, he fell into a state of madness...
I heard muffled screams coming from Du Ming's room, and an ominous premonition rose in my heart. I rushed into the room and saw Du Ming sitting cross-legged on the bed, his face pale and his body trembling as streams of black malevolent energy continuously surged from him.
"Du Ming, what's wrong?" I asked anxiously.
Du Ming opened his eyes, filled with pain and struggle: "I... I've gone mad..."
