Chapter 39 Only the Gods Can Save Us
After nearly two hours, the two servants were getting increasingly anxious. When they saw Lu Qing come out, they wanted to go in and check on their master, but remembering what Lu Xingyao had said when he stopped them, they dared not rush in.

If there really are gods, and they come to punish me, I wouldn't have enough lives to spare.

Lu Qing, leaning on his cane, said as the ancestor had said, "Your master is out of danger and will wake up in about an hour."

The two attendants were overjoyed, and Liang Han, who was standing nearby, suddenly stood up, exclaiming, "How is this possible!"

Lord Yu was clearly on the verge of death, and this lame old man had only been inside for less than two hours. Unless he were a divine being, how could he possibly recover?
Hearing Liang Han's question, Lu Xingyao snorted, "With my grandfather around, what's impossible?"

With the intervention of the gods, not only are difficult and complicated diseases more than a matter of life and death, but even the dying can be cured.

Lu Qing coughed lightly, signaling his grandson not to be too ostentatious, lest he displease their ancestor.

Gu Xingzhao sat on a chair in the room and yawned. "Actually, what the doctor said was indeed correct. Your student's symptoms originally meant he could only wait to die. If he hadn't met me today, he wouldn't have lasted more than two days."

Lu Qing understood that only the gods could save Yu Heng.

"There are assassins!"

Suddenly a cry of alarm rang out, startling everyone. Two servants immediately drew their swords and rushed toward the source of the sound, only to find that the escorting officer, Du Hangwu, had somehow collapsed next to the main house.

"What...what's wrong with Lord Du?"

The attendants checked Du Hangwu thoroughly but found no wounds on his body.

Someone asked in surprise, "Why is there a hole in this window?"

Lu Qing stroked his beard and snorted, "Perhaps he did something wrong and got struck by lightning and knocked unconscious."

Lu Xingyao suddenly realized, "No wonder I hadn't seen Du Hangwu earlier. He must have gone in a big circle to come here to spy on us."

How could mortals possibly spy on the gods? Being struck by lightning is truly retribution.

The two servants looked at each other, never expecting that the Lu family's divine assistance was actually true. Their master must have been saved by that deity!

While they were happy, they were also secretly relieved: luckily they had restrained themselves from barging in, otherwise they would probably be the ones getting struck by lightning right now.

The servant couldn't hide his excitement, "Old Master Lu, may we go inside and see my master now?"

Lu Qing nodded. "Let's go in together. I have some things to tell you both."

Lu Xingyao was quick-witted, and thousands of people helped his old man.

The stench of blood in the room had not yet dissipated. Yu Heng's upper body was completely naked, and his abdomen was bound with white gauze, with faint traces of blood seeping out.

Something was wrapped around his hand, and a thin tube connected to a transparent object hanging on the bed. The water in the bottle seemed to be slowly seeping into Yu Heng's body.

Everyone was stunned by what they saw, and the two servants stood there dumbfounded, not understanding what was going on.

Liang Han followed him in and was dumbfounded by what he saw. What kind of medical skill was this? He had never heard of it before!

"My lords, may I show you my face?"

The two servants came to their senses and agreed to Liang Han's suggestion. They didn't know anything about medicine, so it would be good to have a doctor take a look at the situation.

It wasn't that they didn't believe in Elder Lu; they had simply never seen such a scene before, it was too bizarre.

Lu Qing frowned slightly, wondering if the doctor would find anything out...

Gu Xingzhao rested his chin on his hands, watching leisurely. "It's alright, let him look."

Anyway, there was nothing to be found out. Only after getting a definite answer did Lu Qing feel relieved.

Liang Han tentatively took Yu Heng's pulse and examined him thoroughly. His brows furrowed, and he murmured, "How could this be..."

"How can it be……"

Two attendants followed closely beside the bed. Seeing the doctor frowning but remaining silent, they grew anxious and couldn't help but ask, "How is he?"

Lu Xingyao was also a little nervous, wondering how his ancestors had performed the rescue. Judging from the doctor's appearance, he was afraid something might have gone wrong.

Liang Han stood up, ignoring the two servants, and knelt down before Lu Qing, saying, "I was too arrogant earlier and said many things I shouldn't have. I hope you will forgive me, senior!"

Just moments ago, he seemed to be questioning Lu Qing, but in the blink of an eye, he knelt down and apologized to him. The doctor's change in attitude said it all.

Overjoyed, the servants wept, and with two thuds, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed deeply to Lu Qing, saying, "Thank you, Elder Lu, for saving my master!"

The sound startled Gu Xingzhao so much that he was truly shocked: "Thank goodness it wasn't someone kneeling before me, otherwise how many years of my life would I have lost?"

Lu Qing was startled by the sound of the kowtow and quickly gestured for Lu Xingyao to help the man up. "You two don't need to thank me."

He hadn't saved these people, yet they were all kneeling before him. He truly couldn't accept this. If anyone should kneel or express gratitude, it should be to the ancestors of the Lu family.

Liang Han's thirst for knowledge reached its peak. "May I ask how you cured Lord Yu's strange illness?"

Lu Qing looked troubled. Although he had witnessed the process, he had no idea what had happened. He only knew that his ancestors had cut open Yu Heng's stomach, rummaged around in it, and then sewed his stomach back up.

But one cannot casually talk about disemboweling someone. Our ancestors dared to do so because they were deities with magical powers.

If a mortal were to cut open his stomach, it would be tantamount to murder.

"Actually, I didn't do anything. It was all thanks to your good fortune, sir. Your will to survive moved the heavens, which led to this miraculous turn of events. I really dare not claim credit for it."

Gu Xingzhao almost burst out laughing. Had the will to survive moved the heavens?
The old man is quite good at talking nonsense.

Lu Qing believed he was telling the truth, but to the doctor, it sounded like he was keeping his medical skills to himself and was unwilling to share them.

The two servants asked everyone else in the room to leave, citing that their master needed to rest.

While waiting for Yu Heng to regain consciousness, they kept glancing at Lu Qing out of the corner of their eyes, feeling both curious and puzzled. What Old Master Lu had just said seemed to confirm that the person who had saved their family members today was not him, but a deity.

But if the Lu family had divine assistance, how could they have fallen to such a state today?

But in any case, it has been confirmed that the Lu family does indeed have deities, which makes it much easier for their master to ask for things!

Time passed slowly. Gu Xingzhao calculated the time and was just thinking that the patient should be awake by now when Yu Heng on the bed twitched his eyelids, his fingers trembled twice, and he slowly opened his eyes.

The two personal attendants immediately called out, "He's awake! He's awake! The master is awake!"

Everyone immediately gathered around.

Lu Qing, leaning on his cane and supported by his grandson, walked over. Seeing that Yu Heng had indeed woken up, he sighed inwardly, thinking how kind their ancestors were. The Lu family owed their ancestors countless debts.

Although he looked much older than he remembered, Yu Heng recognized Lu Qing immediately. His face was pale, and his eyes were filled with tears. "My mentor..."

He struggled to get up and greet her, but Gu Xingzhao was so frightened that he forcefully pushed him back onto the bed!
My body fell back uncontrollably, as if being held down tightly by an invisible hand.

Yu Heng, who had just seen a ghost: "???"
