Before he could finish, Di Xingdao already understood what Tianchan meant, and he was struck dumb. "What? You and Tianchan are... that? And you both came up from the mortal world together?"
Wei Zhao was no less astonished. "I never imagined it either—that Lord Tian was actually Xiaohan's kin..."
With the misunderstanding cleared away, Di Xingdao immediately withdrew his aura. Gazing at Wei Zhao's youthful face, he sighed with feeling. "The waves behind drive the waves before—there's no truer saying. Wei Zhao, to possess such medical skill at your age is truly beyond belief. If I'm not mistaken, you could have healed me completely; you merely held back just now out of caution, did you not?"
At these words, Hou Guanqi and the others were even more dumbfounded. In their eyes, Wei Zhao's ability to heal Di Xingdao's right arm alone was already an extraordinary feat—and yet he had still been holding back?
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Wei Zhao could not bring himself to lie, and so he nodded somewhat awkwardly. Had he known earlier that Lord Tian was Tianchan's kin, he would never have deliberately kept a trick in reserve.
At this, everyone was all the more moved—even Di Xingdao himself found it hard to credit. He had only been guessing, probing; in theory, if Wei Zhao could restore the meridians of his right arm, he could surely restore those elsewhere as well. But theory was theory—to actually accomplish it was as hard as scaling the heavens.
Wasting no more words, Wei Zhao at once set about healing Di Xingdao again. Now that they were family, there was no need for scruples, no need to keep things hidden anymore.
This time, Wei Zhao held nothing back. The process lasted a full four hours, until the sky was nearly dark, before it was finally complete.
Feeling the meridians within him that seemed born anew, Di Xingdao was so shaken he could not move. The heaven-and-earth spiritual energy drawn in that instant transformed into true qi and coursed through his meridians—that familiar, long-lost sensation nearly overwhelmed this one-time legendary expert, and tears streamed down his aged face.
Watching from the side, Hou Guanqi and Cai Zhongxuan were struck speechless with shock. Even their master, Zhang Lifeng, possessed no such heaven-defying power to wrest creation itself from the world!
"Seniors, might I trouble you to examine Lord Tian and see whether any hidden dangers remain within him?" Wei Zhao said.
It was not modesty on his part. Though all seemed well, Lord Tian's former cultivation rank had been what it was—perhaps some imperceptible aftereffects remained. Hou Guanqi and Cai Zhongxuan were both masters of the medical way, seasoned and experienced, precisely suited to help with a re-examination.
"Of course," Hou Guanqi and the other said with a nod. They had been burning with curiosity anyway, and for such a matter they would not shirk the duty.
While the two conducted a thorough examination of Di Xingdao, Wei Zhao stood to one side chatting with Tianchan, carefully learning everything that had happened to her of late.
The results left Wei Zhao both gratified and quietly furious. He was gratified that, though Tianchan had been forced into a ghost marriage, she had suffered no real harm—rather, she had gained an extra layer of protection. What infuriated him was that Zheng Dongjue and Zheng Tianshuo—those two were simply courting death!
Zheng Tianshuo especially. The scum was plainly scheming after Tianchan, and this was beyond all forbearance. Sooner or later he must find a chance to stamp out this threat in the bud.
