Xie Lige had always kept Old Sun's words in his heart.
At first, he didn't want to use this method. He wanted to destroy the dead veins around his eyes and then regrow them. During this process, too many accidents could happen. His internal energy was also not as gentle as the Li Meridian. Even with the help of herbs, he could barely achieve the effect.
Simon Suisue put down the medical book in his hand. He coldly said to Hua Manlou, "This treatment method has a huge flaw."
Just the internal energy alone had a huge difference. The internal energy of a swordsman was always sharp. It was completely different from the gentle internal energy of a doctor.
Xie Lige silently drank his tea. He didn't interfere with Simon Suisue's words. Hua Manlou had the freedom to choose whether to restore his sight or not. He should respect the other party. He was only a passer-by. This episode wasn't everything.
Outside the pavilion, snow began to fall. The snow gently fell from the sky. It landed on the branches, on the petals, and on the surrounding open space, accumulating a thick layer of snow.
Lu Xiaofeng stood at the entrance of the pavilion and looked at Hua Manlou worriedly. From the words of Hua Manlou, it could be seen that this treatment method wasn't 100% successful. It had a high possibility of failure.
Hua Manlou faintly smiled. Behind him, it was as if the spring flowers scattered. He gently said, "May I ask what will happen if the treatment fails?"
Simon Suisue very straightforwardly said, "You will lose your sight forever."
The smile on Hua Manlou's face deepened. "Since that is the case, why don't I give it a try?"
The worst result of a failed treatment was losing his sight. Why wouldn't he dare to give it a try?
Xie Lige lowered his head and drank his tea. He closed his eyes and organized his thoughts. When he heard Hua Manlou turn around, he opened his eyes and looked at Simon Suisue.
"How is it?"
Simon Suisue looked at him for a second. Then, he turned his head and looked at the old housekeeper who was waiting at the side.
The old housekeeper smiled and bowed. "The west wing of the manor is empty."
Everyone knew that the God of Swords Simon Suisue would not leave the manor unless he killed someone.
Xie Lige was the first to stand up. He looked at the smiling Hua Manlou and paused for a moment. Then, he shifted his gaze to Simon Suisue and said, "There's no time to lose. Since you've agreed, let's begin."
Simon Suisue nodded.
The old housekeeper very considerately asked everyone to leave, leaving only Hua Manlou, Simon Suisue, and Xie Lige looking at each other. Behind them, Hua Shu silently accompanied them.
The west wing was a wing next to the front of the courtyard.
The three of them walked into the west wing. The space inside the door was very large. The various furnishings were also very expensive. The red coral ornament in front of the table was so red that it was as dazzling as blood. At a glance, one could tell that it was priceless. This kind of rare item was only a decoration in the west wing of the manor.
Simon Suisue and Xie Lige waited for a moment. Hua Manlou stood at the side with a smile. He was not afraid of what he was about to face. He even had the mood to comfort the two people who were very depressed.
"Foster Father, don't worry about me." The little angel Hua Manlou said gently.
Although he could not see, he could clearly feel Tanshu's trembling body in his arms. The fat squirrel was afraid.
Xie Lige did not say anything.
Simon Suisue, who was at the side, had a cold expression. His gaze was fixed on the door of the west wing. No one knew what he was thinking. He did not look sideways at the small path. From his angle, he could see the small pavilion not far away.
The small path was made of fine white stones. It twisted and turned. The small path was surrounded by glazed tiles on both sides.
Suddenly, Simon Suisue's eyes moved. He loosened his grip on his sword and looked indifferently at the group of people who were rushing over.
The figures at the end of the small path walked away in the wind and snow. The person leading them was a familiar figure. It was an old and humble figure. Xie Lige knew that it was the old housekeeper who had just left. As for the old housekeeper, there were two rows of servants in gray clothes following behind him.
The servants respectfully held various herbs and copper basins in their arms. Xie Lige even saw a servant come out with golden needles. The corner of his mouth could not help but twitch. They had brought all the doctor's belongings here.
As soon as they entered, the old housekeeper waved his hand. All the servants filed in and placed the things in their hands neatly on the large table in the center. Then, they bowed their heads and left the room.
"Villa Master, everything is ready." The old housekeeper came to Simon Suisue's side and said in a low voice.
When Simon Suisue heard this, his gaze landed on Hua Manlou, who was quietly waiting at the side.
When the old housekeeper saw this scene, he knew that his mission had been completed. Even if he stayed here, he would not be of much help. Thus, he bowed to Xie Lige and took the initiative to close the door. Then, he left.
Only Xie Lige and the other two people were left in the room.
"Let's begin."
Xie Lige put away the jade pen in his hand. His expression gradually changed from depression to seriousness. He glanced at the instruments on the table and then looked at Hua Manlou.
Hua Manlou lay down on the bed and closed his eyes. He quietly waited for the results of this treatment.
Outside the side room, Lu Xiaofeng anxiously paced back and forth in the east side room opposite the west side room. From time to time, he would poke his head out of the door. He looked left and right, but did not see the old housekeeper return.
He sighed in despair. He regretted not following the three people into the side room. Even if he was being a hindrance, it was better than being anxious.
Fortunately, this state did not last long.
After a while, he saw the old housekeeper's figure. He hurriedly went out to greet him.
"How is it?
Have they already started? "Lu Xiaofeng grabbed the old housekeeper and asked.
The old housekeeper came alone. There was no one else behind him. He smiled as he was grabbed by Lu Xiaofeng. He was full of confidence in his Manor Lord's medical skills. He believed that this treatment would definitely be successful.
This was the answer he gave to Lu Xiaofeng.
"It has already started. Please rest assured."
He looked at Lu Xiaofeng's helpless face and said this.
There was nothing else he could do.
Lu Xiaofeng followed the old housekeeper's gaze and looked at his hands. He immediately let go and scratched his head. "Ah, I didn't notice, I didn't notice."
While pretending to ignore the old housekeeper's penetrating gaze, he turned his head and sat down on the wooden armchair in the center of the main hall. He rubbed his hands and sat down.
The old housekeeper stood by the door.
For a moment, the entire room sank into silence.
The sun set and the Golden Crows cried. The distant horizon had already been dyed a faint red by the sunset. Strands of clouds twined around the sun.
The snow had stopped long ago.
A layer of snow had accumulated on the ground. When illuminated by the sunset, it also seemed red.
A servant quickly ran in from outside. As soon as he entered, he saw the old housekeeper standing to the side. He was startled and quickly lowered his head. "Old housekeeper, the Manor Lord has come out."
"Really?" Lu Xiaofeng had been anxious for a long time. When he heard this, he hurriedly stood up.
The servant was startled by this loud voice and immediately took a step back. He stared at the excited Lu Xiaofeng with wide eyes.
Lu Xiaofeng realized that he had been overly excited. He immediately lowered his voice and scratched his head as he looked at the old housekeeper.
The old housekeeper said, "You can leave for now."
With that, the servant withdrew.
The old housekeeper looked at Lu Xiaofeng and walked to the door. He indicated for the latter to leave first. "I'm afraid that the honored guests are unable to come. We can only go over."
Right now, Hua Manlou should be unable to move. Xie Lige definitely wouldn't leave the latter. And Simon Suisue, for some special reason, wouldn't take the initiative to leave either. Presumably, this was also the reason why the servant had taken the initiative to come.
Lu Xiaofeng didn't wait to talk to the old housekeeper. He lifted his foot and walked out of the room. He followed the path in front of the door to the west wing.
The door to the west wing was pushed open from the inside. The path in front of the door was extremely elegant. Simon Suisue was wiping his hands with a towel. Suddenly, his ears twitched and he looked over.
Lu Xiaofeng met his gaze and immediately jumped up in high spirits. He waved his hand and said, "Ximen!"
His voice came from afar. Lu Xiaofeng's footsteps silently crossed the snow on the open ground. He didn't make too much noise and arrived in front of Simon Suisue.
His voice suddenly lowered a lot.
As Lu Xiaofeng spoke, he peeked into the room. He looked around and finally stopped when he saw the undulating figure on the bed.
Next to that figure was Xie Lige, who had closed his eyes and was resting.
The man in purple had his silver hair combed up. He had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. The corners of his eyes were slightly narrowed, giving off an inexplicable feeling of malice. Lu Xiaofeng suddenly felt as if he was being stared at by his natural enemy. His body stiffened and he didn't dare to move.
Xie Lige opened his eyes. His pair of black eyes expressionlessly swept over the shocked Lu Xiaofeng. He turned his head and looked at Hua Manlou behind him.
Lu Xiaofeng waited for a long time, but the latter didn't attack. He silently withdrew his leg, which was ready to escape at any time. He walked a few steps to the bedside and stared motionlessly at the sleeping Hua Manlou.
On the bed, Hua Manlou's eyes were wrapped in snow-white bandages. His breathing was calm, and there was nothing strange about his undulating chest. Perhaps it was because Simon Suisue had asked someone to clean him up, but Lu Xiaofeng didn't smell any blood. Instead, the tip of his nose was filled with the faint fragrance of herbs.
Thinking back to the way Simon Suisue wiped his hands when he entered the room, Lu Xiaofeng immediately understood that he might have applied some medicine.
Because of this, Lu Xiaofeng wasn't in a hurry to wake Hua Manlou up. He rubbed his hands excitedly. He didn't know why, but he had a feeling that the seven children's eyes could see clearly this time.
Just as he was about to ask everyone, a very cold voice suddenly came from below.
"Lu Xiaofeng."
Hearing someone call his name, Lu Xiaofeng reflexively lowered his head and met Xie Lige's eyes. Lu Xiaofeng was stunned. Those bottomless eyes were dead silent, and the background was like a sea of blood with many floating corpses.
He shrank his head.
When he understood the meaning of the words, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Senior, what do you mean?"
Xie Lige said indifferently, "The treatment of the seven children's eyes was very successful. If there are no accidents, they should be able to see again. I owe you a favor."
