Gao Wu: Oh no! Young Master Zhen is a cultivator!

"Very well." Lin Ran readily agreed, "Since Uncle is so hospitable, I won't stand on ceremony with you."

Bai Zhenting looked satisfied: "Ah, that's right. Don't be shy!"

The situation changed in an instant, and Bai Ruolin was a little caught off guard, her eyes showing a slight confusion.

"Uncle, please calm your mind and I will help you recover from your injuries!" Lin Ran said solemnly.

Bai Zhenting lay down as instructed, took a deep breath, and slowly closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Lin Ran raised his hand, made a hand seal, and pointed forward, slowly enveloping Bai Zhenting with wood-type spiritual power.

In a short while, Bai Zhenting's external injuries healed rapidly.

Even old injuries and ailments left over from the past have completely disappeared under the nourishment of spiritual energy.

Inside the ward, spiritual energy gently wafted, refreshing the mind and spirit.

After a moment, Lin Ran withdrew his spiritual power and said calmly, "Alright, Uncle, get up and try."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhenting slowly opened his eyes.

He felt completely comfortable and incredibly light.

The tightness in my chest and the pain in my muscles and bones have completely disappeared, my blood and energy are flowing freely throughout my body, and my spirit and energy have reached their peak.

He threw off the covers, put his feet on the ground, and tried to stretch his limbs.

Click click click!

The bones cracked softly, without the slightest hint of stiffness.

Bai Zhenting's eyes were filled with amazement: "Excellent! I didn't expect you to have this trick up your sleeve!"

"A mere trick, not worth mentioning." Lin Ran waved his hand, striking a profound pose.

Bai Zhenting glanced at him: "I think you're the type who won't act until you see the benefit."

Lin Ran casually replied, "That's because my uncle's rabbits are well-raised!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Bai Ruolin instantly understood the implied meaning, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she showed a reproachful expression.

"Ahem..." Lin Ran coughed lightly twice, forcibly covering up his embarrassment: "Well, I was just praising you, wasn't I?"

Bai Ruolin blushed and said, "Is that how you compliment someone?"

"Don't worry about the details," Lin Ran said seriously.

"Hahahaha..." Bai Zhenting laughed loudly, "Now that I've recovered, there's no need for me to stay here any longer."

Lin Ran nodded and replied, "I'll go to Director Bai's ward again."

"Wait a minute!" Bai Zhenting raised his hand to stop Lin Ran. "Let me go first!"

Lin Ran was slightly taken aback and asked in confusion, "Is there some special reason for this?"

"I'll go show off first," Bai Zhenting said solemnly.

After saying that, he strode out of the ward.

His steps were steady, his posture upright, and his energy and spirit far exceeded what he had before his injury.

Seeing this, Lin Ran shook his head helplessly and followed slowly.

Bai Zhenting quickly walked through the hospital corridor and arrived at the innermost ward.

The disinfectant, accompanied by the fresh scent of herbs, created a peaceful atmosphere.

Bai Zhenyue leaned against the headboard, with a pillow behind his back.

He was wrapped in medical bandages, his face was pale, and his breathing was steady.

In the previous battle, he had taken most of the attacks, and his meridians had been severely damaged.

If it weren't for his strong physique, he probably would have died on the spot in the Northwest.

The two Bai brothers had completely opposite personalities.

As the elder brother, Bai Zhenyue was hot-tempered and easily angered.

The younger brother, Bai Zhenting, is calm and reserved, with a steadfast mind, and always remains calm and composed in the face of adversity.

However, at this moment, even the usually composed Bai Zhenting seemed a bit unruly.

With a smug smile, he pushed open the door and walked over to Bai Zhenyue's side with an air of arrogance.

"No! What's going on?" Bai Zhenyue looked up at the sound and immediately showed a look of astonishment.

The gruesome scene of him coughing up blood and flying backwards on the battlefield was still vivid in his mind, but in just a few hours, his younger brother had already recovered completely.

"How could you...?"

His thoughts were in turmoil, and he couldn't find the right words to describe the strange phenomenon before him.

Bai Zhenting walked to the bedside, put his hands behind his back, and said with a hint of smugness in his eyes: "It's just a minor injury, not worth mentioning."

"How is this possible?" Bai Zhenyue's eyes showed even greater surprise and doubt.

He knew that Bai Zhenting's injuries were not as serious as his own, but it was absolutely impossible for him to fully recover in a short period of time.

"Why not?" Bai Zhenting said with an air of nonchalance. "I'm acting like nothing happened."

"No, you weren't like this before!" Bai Zhenyue frowned slightly.

He had seen Bai Zhenting's appearance before he was lifted onto the stretcher, and it was definitely not fake.

Bai Zhenting raised an eyebrow slightly: "Couldn't I have been faking it before?"

"You think you can fool me?" Bai Zhenyue didn't believe his story at all.

The two have been brothers for decades; who doesn't know the other?

"Then tell me what's wrong with me right now?" Bai Zhenting spread his hands, throwing the question back at him.

Bai Zhenyue pondered for a moment, then instantly realized: "According to the information from the Special Affairs Bureau's investigation, Lin Ran might possess medical skills. Now it seems that the situation is true."

"Your Special Affairs Bureau is certainly ruthless when it comes to investigating your own people," Bai Zhenting chuckled, acknowledging Bai Zhenyue's speculation.

"What about that kid?" Bai Zhenyue's voice suddenly rose. "He cured you, but not me?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhenting's expression grew even more smug: "Who told me to have such a wonderful daughter?"

"What are you saying?" Bai Zhenyue retorted, quite indignantly. "That's my niece too! How dare that kid show favoritism? I must..."

Squeak!

With a soft sound, the ward door was gently pushed open.

Lin Ran and Bai Ruolin slowly entered the ward, just as Lin Ran finished the sentence: "Must what?"

"Ahem..." Bai Zhenyue paused slightly, then changed his tone seriously: "I must take good care of you, kid."

Lin Ran's gaze swept over the other person's bandages, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

"Judging from Director Bai's energy and spirit, he doesn't seem to be seriously injured at all. He shouldn't need my special treatment, right?"

Bai Zhenyue's expression changed: "Yes! Why wouldn't I?"

Just kidding, who would want to stay in a hospital bed if they could recover sooner?

Lin Ran feigned surprise: "This isn't like Director Bai's usual style!"

"Hehe..." Bai Zhenyue gave a helpless wry smile: "I don't usually lie in bed either!"

"That makes sense!" Lin Ran nodded in agreement. "But why should I help you?"

Bai Zhenyue said solemnly, "Hurry up, the Special Affairs Bureau still needs me to take charge!"

"Ah, that's more like it." Lin Ran's smile faded. "Please lie down and hold your breath."

Bai Zhenyue did as instructed, and Lin Ran followed suit, activating the Rejuvenation Technique once again.

Pure and gentle wood-elemental spiritual energy surged from his palm, enveloping Bai Zhenyue's entire body.

Strands of spiritual energy seeped into the skin and muscles, flowing throughout the body along the meridians.

The damaged and broken meridians were reconnected one by one, and the discomfort caused by stagnant blood and qi completely disappeared.

In just a few breaths, both the old and new injuries were completely healed.

Lin Ran withdrew his spiritual power, and Bai Zhenyue suddenly opened his eyes.

He raised his hand to lift the thin blanket, got up and stretched his limbs, and then his face showed a look of amazement.

"Good, good, good! I didn't expect you to have this trick up your sleeve!"

"A trivial skill, not worth mentioning." Lin Ran waved his hand casually.

Bai Zhenyue shook his head helplessly: "You rascal..."

Now that both Bai brothers have fully recovered, there is naturally no need for them to stay in the hospital any longer.

So the two quickly packed their belongings, walked out of the ward side by side, and had the doctor process their discharge.

The group walked out of the hospital building together. The evening breeze was cool, easing the daytime heat.

Traffic flowed smoothly on the city streets, lights came on one after another, and the atmosphere of everyday life was peaceful and warm.

The two elders drove away to return to handle official business for the Special Affairs Bureau and the Martial Arts Association, respectively.

Only Lin Ran and Bai Ruolin remained on the street, and the atmosphere instantly became somewhat ambiguous.

The two walked side by side along the sidewalk, avoiding the noisy crowds, their steps leisurely and relaxed.

Bai Ruolin gazed at the streetlights ahead and asked softly, "Are you leaving again soon?"

"Why do you think that?" Lin Ran turned his head to look at her, his gaze gentle.

Bai Ruolin's expression remained calm: "There are cultivators inside SSS-800. Don't you plan to go in and explore?"
