CHAPTER 216: CHAPTER 216: SENTIMENTS (2)_1

"One for each of you," Shangguan You said, taking out seven Jade Dew Pills from her hand. She gave them to Yu Zifeng, instructing them to swallow them. Immediately, with a flash of golden light, Yu Zijin’s loud cries stopped. In the moment before she fainted, Yu Zijin glanced at Shangguan You, then closed her eyes and passed out.

Shangguan You retrieved a Bone Growth Pill from her storage space. It’s a burn injury; this should be helpful regardless, she thought as she pried open Yu Zijin’s mouth and fed her the pill. Then, she carefully took out Spring Water from her space and began to meticulously clean Yu Zijin’s wounds.

The scene was chaotic: people shouting as they fought the fire, screams of fear, and cries of pain—a cacophony of voices. Shangguan You moved quickly and discreetly, her actions unnoticed. After cleaning Yu Zijin’s wounds with Spring Water and sprinkling antiseptic medicine on them, the skin on Yu Zijin’s hand began to heal at a visibly rapid pace.

Shangguan You’s brow furrowed slightly. Is the effect of this Bone Growth Pill too good? She just swallowed it, and the wound is already healing, new skin forming.

Yu Zifeng stared at the new skin forming on his sister’s hand, then looked at Shangguan You in utter shock. Her medicine is incredibly potent! And her medical arts... they’re too formidable!

"Shangguan You, thank you," Yu Zifeng said, picking up the unconscious Yu Zijin from the ground. His gaze towards Shangguan You was somewhat unusual.

Shangguan You raised an eyebrow and nodded. She then took out her Golden Needle and walked towards those most severely injured. Since the doctors haven’t arrived, I’ll take on that role, she thought.

"Brother Qing, Yu Zifeng, both of you come and help. Give one of these pills to each person," Shangguan You said, taking out two bottles of Health Pills and handing one to each of them. With a Golden Needle in hand, she quickly moved to those who had fainted from inhaling too much smoke, piercing their acupoints.

"Alright," they both nodded and quickly began distributing the pills. It was the middle of the night, and not many people were in the chess club. Aside from the Shangguan and Yu families, there were probably only about thirty or forty others. Fortunately, Shangguan You had acted in time, and no one had died, though many were injured.

Shangguan You would do her utmost to treat the members of the Shangguan and Yu families, helping them recover as quickly as possible. For the others, however, she only used antiseptic medicine and the Health Pills. These particular pills were about to be launched on the market, so it was fine to let these people know about them for promotional purposes. But she didn’t dare risk using the Jade Dew Pill on them.

She carefully cleaned their burns and revived them one by one.

"Miss, my father has fainted! Please, can you save him first?" a panicked voice cried out. A middle-aged man rushed towards Shangguan You. The situation had been too chaotic earlier, and by the time he had come to his senses, his elderly father had already collapsed.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t revive his father. He had witnessed Shangguan You’s skill in reviving others who had fainted, so he felt he had no choice but to plead for her help.

"Luo Jing?" Shangguan Hao, who had been resting and feeling his strength gradually return, came over to help. Seeing the panicked man clutching Shangguan You’s arm, he asked in surprise, What’s Luo Jing doing here?

"Young You, please save Uncle Luo first!" Shangguan Hao urged.

"Old Man Luo has completely passed out! Young You, hurry and save him!" Shangguan Zhi exclaimed, also standing up.

"Yes, Grandfather," Shangguan You replied. She looked at the old man lying motionless on the ground; he was about the same age as her grandfathers. No wonder Grandfather wants me to save him.

Placing both hands on his wrist to check his pulse, she determined that excessive smoke inhalation had caused him to faint.

"Bring some water!" Shangguan You instructed quickly, simultaneously piercing his chest with a Golden Needle to disperse the congested qi.

COUGH! COUGH! COUGH! As soon as the Golden Needle was inserted, Luo Xiao began to cough violently, his face turning crimson. Shangguan You gently patted his back while infusing the Golden Needle with her Spiritual Power, slowly guiding it within his body.

After a short while, Luo Xiao’s complexion gradually improved. Shangguan You fed him a Jade Dew Pill along with some water and sighed in relief. He’s finally saved, she thought.

After this, both the Yu and Luo families, like the Gui Family, will surely stand with the Shangguan Family, Shangguan You thought. Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, the blood and qi in her chest began to churn violently.

PFFT! A mouthful of blood sprayed from Shangguan You’s lips. She had overexerted her Spiritual Energy, leaving her body depleted. Furthermore, using the Stasis Curse—a talisman that defied natural order—twice in one day had utterly drained her. Her body swayed a few times, her vision went black, and she collapsed unconscious.

"Young You!"

"Girl!"

"Shangguan You!"

Yu Zifeng quickly stepped forward, arms outstretched, and securely caught Shangguan You’s falling body. Gazing at the deathly pale, unconscious young woman in his arms, and recalling how she had just saved his family, his heart began to pound inexplicably.

"Young You! Get her to the hospital, quickly!" Shangguan Hao cried out anxiously. He took Shangguan You from Yu Zifeng’s arms and strode towards the emergency room. My granddaughter fainted trying to save us!

"Young You!" Shangguan Qing shouted, quickly following. Not only the members of the Shangguan and Yu families, but also the recently revived Luo Xiao and Luo Jing from the Luo Family, hurried after them. They all knew this young woman had collapsed trying to save them.

「In Beijing’s largest military hospital, within a VIP ward.」

Shangguan Hao and his family stood with grim expressions, looking at Shangguan You who lay bedridden, pallid, and lifeless. It’s been two whole days, why hasn’t she woken up? These useless military doctors! They can’t diagnose what’s wrong with her, only saying she collapsed from over-exhaustion. But it’s been two full days! Even if she was exhausted, she should have had enough sleep by now. Why isn’t she waking up?

The hospital director and the chief physicians from various departments had all gathered in the VIP ward. Each took turns examining Shangguan You, conducting a comprehensive check-up. Yet, the results were all the same: her body was merely in a deep sleep, with no discernible physical problems.

But if her body was fine, why couldn’t she regain consciousness? This question baffled not only the hospital director but everyone present. Why couldn’t she wake up?
