They entered the Ji residence together.
Bai Xu poured tea for Su Xiaolu and the others and briefly told them about her family and the grudge between Bai Liu and Ji Changyuan.
Ji Changyuan had yet to wake up. Calculating the time, he should be awake today.
“Xiaolu, actually, I’m quite calm. After so many years, I’m no longer obsessed with this matter, but I’m also very happy that I can find my roots now. The people who passed away have passed away with regrets, and the people who are alive no longer have regrets. It’s really good. When my grandfather wakes up, we’ll set off to save Bai Yu.”
Bai Xu sighed and felt sorry for the past few days. After this matter was completely settled, she believed that everyone could let go.
“Grandaunt, Master invites you over. Something happened to GrandMaster.”
A servant rushed in and said to Bai Xu anxiously.
Bai Xu immediately stood up. “What’s wrong?”
“Grand Master woke up, but for some reason, he choked and coughed when he woke up. He’s vomiting blood now. The two Masters are worried that he won’t be able to survive and have already told him about the matter in a hurry. Please go over as soon as possible to see him one last time. I’m afraid it’ll be too late.” The servant said anxiously.
Bai Xu’s heart tightened and she immediately rushed out. She even forgot about Su Xiaolu.
Su Xiaolu stopped the servant and said, “Lead us there.”
Bai Xu had even forgotten about her.
Ji Changyuan’s expression was dark. He was like an old beast that was about to die but was still struggling on the verge of death. His breathing was very heavy, and his throat seemed to be blocked. Every breath was accompanied by an ear-piercing noise.
The blood at the corner of his mouth had been wiped dry. He kept moving his lips to speak, but he couldn’t say a word.
Ji Heng and Ji Lan were both kneeling in front of the bed with nervous expressions, but there was nothing they could do. The ginseng medicine had already been fed. It was already a miracle that their grandfather had lived to this age. The doctor could not do anything about it. According to the doctor, when a person was about to die, even gods would not be able to save them.
Life and death were set in stone. No one could escape, and this was the day for Grandfather Ji, Ji Changyuan.
According to his original life trajectory, Ji Changyuan would have died long ago. He had changed his lifestyle many years ago and reduced his consumption, which was why he had survived until now. However, it was obvious that this method was useless now. It was time for Ji Changyuan to die.
Feeding him some ginseng medicine could only keep him alive for a while.
In any case, no matter how many divine medicines he ate, he would only be hanging on by a thread.
Ji Changyuan’s gaze was already cloudy. He panted heavily and wanted to take
a look at his granddaughter, who had been missing for decades.
He and his deceased wife had never expected that the source of the pain in the family for decades would be someone he had long forgotten. And at the end of the day, it was a ridiculous possession.
She couldn’t have it, so she hated it. That was why she wanted to make them all suffer.
Liu Yuelan had used such a method to torture the Ji family for decades, to the extent that the family carried regrets even in death.
When Bai Xu’s figure appeared, Ji Changyuan’s gaze landed on Bai Xu. Almost at a glance, he confirmed that she was a child of the Ji family because she looked so similar to his wife when she was young.
Bai Xu did not look like her father or mother. She looked like her grandmother.
“Child…”
Ji Changyuan spoke with difficulty. When he said these two words, his face turned red.
Ji Heng and Ji Lan hurriedly went forward to calm Ji Changyuan down.
“Grandpa, don’t be anxious. This is our sister. We didn’t lie to you. My sister is a cultivator and has achieved great things, so her appearance stopped aging when she was young. In fact, she’s already past 50 years old.”
Ji Heng and Ji Lan were worried that Ji Changyuan would not believe them and would be too agitated, so they explained again.
They did not avoid eye contact because what they said was true.
Ji Changyuan looked at the two grandchildren and felt gratified. He said with difficulty again, “Yes.”
He believed it. He was in so much pain because there were so many things he wanted to say that he could not.
Bai Xu knelt forward and said softly, “Grandpa, I’m Ji Baixu. I’m sorry that I only found my way home after so many years and was deceived by evil people. That’s why I’ve been separated from you for so many years. Don’t worry, I’m doing very well now. I have many friends and the person I love.”
“My life has been a little tough, but I’ve already reached the perfect stage. I’m very satisfied.”
Bai Xu actually did not know what to say. She just followed her heart and told Ji Changyuan everything.
As Ji Changyuan listened, his emotions finally stabilized and he revealed a kind smile. He reached out with trembling hands and touched Bai Xu’s hair with his old hand.
His hand was so old that he could not straighten it. There was no warmth in it. It was just skin and bones.
Bai Xu cried. She did not move and even knelt closer so that Ji Changyuan could touch her hair more. God knew how much she liked to be stroked by her elders. She was once envious and jealous of Su Xiaolu, but now, she was satisfied.
Even if it was only for a short time, she was satisfied.
Ji Changyuan wanted to wipe Bai Xu’s tears away, but his hands did not listen
to him anymore.
When Hu Changshou arrived, he knelt down beside Bai Xu and kowtowed a few times to Ji Changyuan. “Grandpa, my name is Hu Changshou. Bai Xu and I are truly in love. We will spend the rest of our lives together.”
As Ji Changyuan watched, his emotions fluctuated greatly, but he couldn’t say anything. His throat wheezed, but in the end, he didn’t say anything. Ji Heng and Ji Lan secretly turned around to wipe their tears.
Su Xiaolu and the others arrived.
Bai Xu finally remembered that Su Xiaolu was a divine doctor. She quickly pulled Hu Changshou up and moved aside. “Xiaolu, please take a look at my grandfather.”
Su Xiaolu saw that Bai Xu’s eyes were red and tears were streaming down her face. She squatted down and took Ji Changyuan’s pulse.
Ji Heng and Ji Lan did not know Su Xiaolu’s identity. Ji Heng comforted Bai Xu and said, “Sister, don’t be sad. It’s already a miracle that Grandpa can last until now. The doctor has determined countless times that he won’t be able to survive. Grandpa has survived with his conviction. Now that Grandpa can see you before he dies, he has no regrets.”
“That’s right. Now that we’ve found the reason, we’ll save Bai Yu too. Grandpa doesn’t have to worry anymore.”
Ji Lan also said.
Su Xiaolu said, “The doctor is right. The old man’s body is already at the end of its rope. He can’t stay, but I can make him feel more comfortable before he leaves. It wasn’t easy for him to find his little granddaughter. He must have a lot to say.”
Ji Changyuan nodded gently. Of course, he wanted to speak.
Su Xiaolu began to perform acupuncture. She inserted the needles quickly.
Soon, many silver needles were inserted into Ji Changyuan’s face, hands, and chest.
Ji Changyuan let out a long breath and suddenly felt much better. His breathing was smoother and his heart was no longer congested. He looked at Su Xiaolu gratefully. His throat was no longer congested. He wanted to speak, but when he opened his mouth, he realized that he could not. Instantly, he was a little anxious..
