Chapter 944: Chapter 945: Nianyang Awakens 9

"..."

This really hurt Elder Wen.

Li Tingyan touched his nose, smiling awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

Old Master Chu cautiously spoke, "Qingmu, you said you have a way to cure Nannan. What way is it?"

Wen Qingmu snorted coldly, "We’re not familiar. It would be better for Mr. Chu to call me Elder Wen."

Old Master Chu sighed, "Alright, Elder Wen."

Wen Qingmu’s tone improved a bit, "That day I had my people inquire about Nianyang’s symptoms. I could immediately confirm that Nianyang is not suffering from puppet disease."

Chu Zhan asked, "If it’s not puppet disease, then what is it?"

Wen Qingmu looked at Nianyang and slowly said, "Soul loss."

"Soul loss?"

Chu Tianming was shocked; this was too terrifying.

"Exactly." Wen Qingmu nodded, "Puppet disease causes muscle hardening and body atrophy, but obviously Nianyang’s condition isn’t that. However, Nianyang is unable to perceive the outside world, so I suspect it’s soul loss."

Li Tingyan’s pupils tightened; it seems the older, the wiser, only Wen Qingmu could see the signs.

Yunrou asked, "What is soul loss? Is it what I think it means?"

Wen Qingmu pondered, "I know you might find this unrealistic, but soul loss has been documented in several medical records and ancient texts."

"The so-called soul loss is when the body, after being greatly stimulated by external factors, loses its Three Souls and Seven Spirits, which leave the person’s body, disappearing or hiding in a corner, turning the person into a living dead."

Although Old Master Chu doesn’t believe in ghost stories, he does trust Wen Qingmu, and immediately said,

"Then Elder Wen, is there a way to bring Nannan’s soul back?"

Wen Qingmu said, "I’ve been researching a new Soul Returning Pill specifically for Nianyang’s situation. You all should step out, leave Li Tingyan here with me. I will perform the soul retrieval treatment for Nianyang."

"Alright, thank you, Elder Wen."

Old Master Chu didn’t dare say anything and quickly called everyone to leave.

"Place Nianyang on the bed," Wen Qingmu instructed Li Tingyan.

"Okay."

Li Tingyan lifted Nianyang gently and laid her down flat on the bed in the inner room.

Wen Qingmu took out a small box from his sleeves, opened it, and pinched out a black elixir for Li Tingyan,

"Feed it to her; it dissolves immediately."

Li Tingyan responded with a hum, gently parted Nianyang’s mouth, and fed the pill in.

Afterwards, Wen Qingmu began a three-hour long acupuncture treatment on Nianyang, continuing until nightfall.

Finally, he said, "Nianyang will sleep through the night. If all goes well, she will wake up tomorrow morning."

The Chu Family was extremely excited, grateful to Wen Qingmu, who remained indifferent, "No need to thank me. I’m simply saving my disciple; it has nothing to do with all of you."

Everyone knew that Wen Qingmu is hard on the outside, soft on the inside. Old Master Chu said, "Elder Wen, you’ve worked hard, why not stay and have a simple meal tonight?"

"No need. Once Nianyang is well, have her come see me more often."

Wen Qingmu left gracefully, leaving everyone sighing at his retreating figure.

Yunrou comforted Old Master Chu, "It’s alright, Dad. Elder Wen coming to our home is already a big progress."

Chu Tianming said, "Yes indeed, one day he will fully forgive us."

Old Master Chu replied, "I hope so. I just see him being so lonely and fear he’ll drive himself crazy."
