Empress, please lay down your armor, for I will save the world with a single sword!

Mo Wanwan noticed Wu Liang's gaze and immediately glared at him.

"What are you looking at?!"

"Let's see when you're willing to lend a hand."

"Pah...you lecherous scoundrel."

Despite cursing, she still placed her wrist on the table.

Wu Liang placed a soft pillow under his arm and then placed three fingers on his pulse point.

This time, he didn't tease her anymore.

His fingertips lingered for a moment, then his brows gradually furrowed.

Mo Wanwan was still grumbling to herself, but seeing the change in his expression, her heart tightened as well.

"Making a big fuss!"

"The backlash from the death of the Love Gu first damages the heart meridians, then shakes the internal organs. You then forcibly circulated your energy, further aggravating the injury."

Wu Liang looked up at her.

"The fact that they attacked again just now only makes things worse."

Mo Wanwan didn't say anything.

She did indeed circulate her true energy when fighting Yan Jingshuang.

Wu Liang knew the answer from her expression.

"From now on, stop using your internal energy."

"And don't get angry so easily."

Mo Wanwan sneered.

"Then shut your mouth first."

Wu Liang was delighted.

"Alright, I will do my best."

He took out silver needles and placed them on several acupoints on her arm, then infused them with a wisp of divine energy.

A cool sensation slowly travels along the meridians.

The slight pain in my chest eased somewhat.

Mo Wanwan couldn't help but sit up straight.

She could clearly feel that the chaotic blood and energy were being gradually guided back onto the right track.

This person is indeed healing his own injuries.

Wu Liang held the silver needle in his hand, his gaze falling on her arm.

"Your father's injuries were much more severe than yours."

Mo Wanwan looked up.

Where did you first meet him?

"Bei Yong."

Wu Liang slowly inserted another silver needle into the acupoint.

"His name back then was Hei Jiu."

"He was so thin he looked like a stick, and when he coughed, it sounded like he was going to cough up his lungs, and he couldn't catch his breath."

"All his meridians were severed, his internal energy was scattered, and there was still a large amount of deathly energy within him. If any other doctor could even pick out a coffin for him, that would be considered doing their best."

Mo Wanwan's fingers curled slightly.

Black Nine.

All meridians were severed.

He had no internal energy left.

Annihilation and death.

……

These words sent a shiver down her spine.

She knew her father was seriously injured.

But after fleeing Youdu in a panic, she never saw her father again, and all she heard were fragmented rumors.

Hearing Wu Liang speak of it now, it was as if his father, seriously injured and on the verge of death, appeared before his eyes.

Her voice lowered.

"And then what happened?"

"later?"

Wu Liang glanced at her.

"I ran into my husband."

The worry that had just appeared in Mo Wanwan's eyes was immediately washed away by her anger.

"Speak properly!! How can the dignified Prince Xiaoyao be so despicable?!"

"Hey! I'm just telling the truth."

Wu Liang sighed.

"Feeding medicine, acupuncture, medicinal baths, and qi circulation to restore blood circulation. I have to take care of them every day; I can't skip any of these."

"They ate one Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill after another, and poured precious medicinal herbs into the bucket."

"Others who help others can rest after prescribing a remedy."

"To save your father, I have to pour all my inner energy into him."

"There were a few times after the treatment, I couldn't even lift my hand."

"Well, it's a long story..."

Mo Wanwan listened attentively.

His statement was rife with self-praise.

The injuries and treatments that could be mentioned were very specific.

She couldn't help but ask, "Then why did you save him?"

Wu Liang paused his needle-twirling motion for a moment.

"The person was about to die, and since we happened to be able to save them, we did."

"But your dad has a really bad temper."

"I've only just restored his meridians a little, and he's already starting to find fault with me."

Mo Wanwan subconsciously replied, "My father has never liked owing favors to others."

"So, he gave his daughter to me in marriage."

Wu Liang said with a smile.

Mo Wanwan's face, which had just softened a bit, immediately tightened up again.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"You'll find out when your dad gets back, just ask him yourself."

As Wu Liang spoke, he channeled another wisp of true energy into the air.

Mo Wanwan wanted to refute again, but a sudden soreness came from deep in her arm.

Immediately afterwards, a feeling of tightness that had been stuck in his chest for a long time surged up his throat.

"Well……"

She bent down and coughed up a small amount of blood.

Wu Liang was prepared. He handed her the copper basin next to him and gently pressed his other hand against her back.

The divine light of true energy slowly flowed in.

"Just spit it out."

"Don't hold it in."

Mo Wanwan coughed a few times, and the heavy pressure in her chest was noticeably relieved.

Wu Liang withdrew his hand and took a hot towel from the side, handing it to her.

"Wipe it off."

She took the handkerchief and her gaze fell on his face.

Only when I got closer did I notice that there was a fine sheen of sweat on his forehead.

This person has just experienced a major battle.

He still has an injury in his waist.

But now he sits here, patiently tending to her meridians with needles.

Mo Wanwan suddenly felt a strange unease.

Wu Liang lowered his head to put away the needles, still muttering to himself.

"My husband went to great lengths to pull my father-in-law back from the brink of death."

"As a result, my father-in-law's beloved daughter came to my door, and the first thing she did was to cast a spell on me."

"Tell me, who can I complain to?"

Mo Wanwan clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

After a while, she said, "Who told you to keep calling me 'wife'?"

Did I agree?

Wu Liang raised his head and smiled broadly.

"We're working on it right now."

"..."

Mo Wanwan turned her face away.

hateful.

That foul mouth of his should be sewn shut!

……

After Mo Wanwan took her medicine and rested, Wu Liangcai finally had time to see Qin Hongshao.

Several confessions were displayed in the study.

Qin Hongshao had clearly been busy for a long time; her face showed signs of fatigue.

"Two hiding places were found in the south of the city, and more than a dozen people were captured."

"One place contained weapons, and the other contained kerosene."

"Ye Zhiwei has already led people over to take inventory."

Wu Liang opened the confession.

"Anything else?"

"Most of those arrested last night have already confessed. The few who are still holding a grudge are still being interrogated."

As Qin Hongshao spoke, she pointed to one of the pages.

"This man is called Liu Wangsheng. He doesn't know much about martial arts and usually runs errands for people."

"His sister, Liu Cuiniang, has an unusual relationship with the leader of the Gaotang branch. He used this relationship to get a position in the sect."

"Last night I was taken to the outskirts to keep watch. After the fight broke out, I was terrified and hid under the wall, where Du Chengwu caught me."

Wu Liang glanced at it casually.

The confession was written in great detail.

Everything is recorded: what they did, who they relayed messages for, and how much money they received.

After reading it, Wu Liang put the paper down.

Thinking back to his experience with the power of the soul when he treated Mo Wanwan's injuries, a thought suddenly struck him.

After breaking through to the Finger Profound Realm, his Soul-Seizing Technique also improved considerably.

Last night's battle was rushed, and we were only focused on disrupting the opponent's concentration, so we didn't even try using it for questioning.

"Bring this Liu Wangsheng here."

Qin Hongshao nodded.

Shortly afterward, a man in his thirties was escorted into the study.

The man's clothes were covered in mud, and his right cheek was swollen. He knelt down and kowtowed as soon as he entered the door.

"Your Highness, spare my life!"

"I've told you everything, I haven't hidden anything..."

Wu Liang waved his hand.

Qin Hongshao led her men out and personally stood guard outside the door.

The door closed.

Liu Wangsheng raised his head and looked at Wu Liang with unease.

Wu Liang tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

"Liu Wangsheng!"

"Look at me..."

……
