The Invincible Strongest Student Chapter 1016 1016: This Young Lady

Seeing Bai Ping sob quietly, Lin Tian was at a loss for a mont and quickly gave Miaoqiu a aningful glance.

Miaoqiu understood and stepped forward, whispering sothing in Bai Ping's ear, finally stopping her tears.

i Ruyan stood at the back, watching Bai Ping's every move but remaining silent.

She had a poor impression of the entire Xu Family, especially this woman. Had it not been for her, her own mother wouldn't have ended up like that.

But as she grew up, she realized how much this woman and Xu Miaoxiu had helped her. Without them, she might have starved on the streets long ago.

So, i Ruyan's feelings toward this mother and daughter were always conflicted.

Originally, she didn't want Lin Tian to co to the Xu Family, a place full of disputes. Although she spent little ti there, she understood these people too well. If the illness were cured, there wouldn't be a problem, but if sothing happened, Lin Tian would surely be implicated.

But he was her father, no matter how much she hated him, he was still her father.

Worst-case scenario, she'd take Lin Tian and run.

"Mr. Lin, please."

Bai Ping gestured politely to Lin Tian, her gracious and elegant deanor reflecting the good education she had received since childhood.

"Sure." Lin Tian quickly agreed, considering he'd slept with her precious daughter, he couldn't put on airs.

As Lin Tian walked to the bedside, i Ruyan followed involuntarily; she wanted to see how the man was now.

The elder and Nanqiu remained in place, unable to help with dical skills; approaching now would only annoy people.

Living at the Xu Family a few days ago, Lin Tian saw the family disciples. Their Charm Technique was undoubtedly different from the common folk.

The difference lay in their temperant, naturally possessing a face that delighted others. Being cultivators, their bodies weren't fat or thin, perfectly proportioned and very lean.

But Xu Shaohui right now was hardly recognizable as a person.

Bai Ping was already thin, but Xu Shaohui was even thinner, as if only skin and bones were left.

Lin Tian first checked the complexion, neither white nor red, the entire face yellowed, with wrinkles on the corners and forehead making him look nothing like a man in his early fifties. He seed seventy, and a starving seventy at that.

Lin Tian gently lifted Xu Shaohui's eyelids, finding eyes devoid of spirit, muddied.

He checked the tongue, but as soon as the jaw was pried open, a pungent dicinal sll assailed him, the tongue coated thick and yellow.

A yellow coating indicates heat, cloying coating ans dampness, phlegm, and indigestion.

This ans a yellow tongue indicates heat, phlegm, and there's accumulated undigested food in the abdon.

Lin Tian lifted the clothing to find the chest bones clearly visible, no flesh remaining, just a layer of skin. As for the belly, it was sowhat distended.

Seeing all this, Lin Tian's brows furrowed thrice without realizing it; this condition was far worse than he imagined. How much vital blood had he donated?

i Ruyan's heart also raced as she deeply inhaled, feeling like she might suffocate.

The last ti she'd seen Xu Shaohui, though he was forty, he was still the handso uncle capable of captivating countless young won, his peach blossom eyes and enviable physique attracting many glances.

But who would have thought, today he'd no longer resemble a person.

Back when Xu Miaoxiu asked her to co to the Xu Family Stream, she was afraid she'd argue with him until he passed away.

But seeing his current state, did he still need her to aggravate him?

"Mr. Lin, how is my husband?" Bai Ping asked nervously, with fear.

Actually, she knew her husband's condition best. Ancient martial families were versed in dicine, and with chronic illness cos dical knowledge, Bai Ping's skills weren't low.

In the last five years, her husband had to drink different dicines regularly. Because his body kept developing new problems, dicine was necessary.

Even so, she couldn't help but ask worriedly.

"I'll check the pulse again," Lin Tian responded.

"Alright." Bai Ping nodded, looking calm but actually sweating nervously.

Lin Tian placed his hand on Xu Shaohui's arm, first feeling a temperature below usual. Then, when feeling the pulse, he couldn't detect it for so ti.

"Use less force in your fingers, my father's pulse is very weak," Miaoqiu advised.

It was the first ti Lin Tian heard such advice.

Pulse is hidden beneath the skin, the strength needed to sense it shouldn't suppress it, showing how weak Xu Shaohui was.

"Alright."

Lin Tian agreed, using gentler finger pressure. He found Xu Shaohui's pulse could be described as 'thin as a thread of silk.'

After checking the pulse, before anyone asked, he spoke proactively: "This physique is far worse than I thought. The properties of Phoenix Feather and Dragon Scale Powder, his body simply can't withstand them."

"Then, what should we do?" Bai Ping held her daughter's hand tightly. She had hoped for those two dicines, but now they couldn't be used.

Bai Ping was already weak; hearing this news, she almost fainted.

"Auntie, don't worry. Weak bodies can be nurtured. I'll stay here for the next few days. Within about a week, I can help Uncle recuperate, but so dicines will require your involvent," Lin Tian said.

"No problem, no problem, whatever dicines you need, Mr. Lin, I'll prepare them now," Bai Ping said.

"There's no rush, Uncle's condition is truly complex. Treatnt is a process; I need so ti to think," Lin Tian paused, then continued, "Are there dical records? I'd like to see them."

"They're on the table."

Lin Tian nodded, "I need to review them thoroughly. But there are so rare dicines I can start preparing now."

Speaking, Lin Tian walked to the table, took paper and pen, and wrote eight nas of dicines, then handed them to Xu Miaoxiu, "I noted the dicines and quantities inside, if you can buy more, that'd be best."

Xu Miaoxiu glanced, nodded in agreent, indicating no problem.

Bai Ping said, "Let do it, after all these years I've been handling the dicines."

Xu Miaoxiu patted her mother's cold hand, saying, "Mom, don't you trust ? You should rest a bit more."

"I really can't sit idle, I'll go with you."

Xu Miaoxiu couldn't refuse, and could only smile wryly and nod.

At this ti, i Ruyan, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke, "Is there anything I can help with?"

Lin Tian glanced at her; i Ruyan, though trying her best to hide it, couldn't conceal from Lin Tian the worry she felt.

Bai Ping heard and turned to look at her. Seeing that frosty face, she trembled slightly, and asked in a trembling voice, "Who is this young lady?"
