It was too late now...

According to the original plotline, Ye Zixiu had also sought help from the Li family.

However, before the Li family's genius doctor could arrive, Ye Junya was already on the verge of death.

Ye Xuan then happened to pass by the place.

After showing off his medicinal skills, Ye Xuan treated Ye Junya helping him to regain his consciousness receiving Ye Zixiu's gratefulness.

And from then on Ye Xuan held onto Ye family's thighs...

Ahem...

It was not far from that.

Li Mubai couldn't tell them it was 'too late' now.

Although he was a villain, he, nonetheless admired the Ye family.

Ye family were neither after fame nor gains. They were only determined to protect the Xia country.

So he doesn't really mind saving Ye Junya just this once.

"But what?..."

Ye Zixiu anxiously stared into Li Mubai's eyes.

It was not that she suspected Li Mubai would be unable to help treat her grandpa, rather, she was worried that her grandpa would definitely be in danger if the Li family's genius doctors weren't in Jinghai.

"But... Grandpa Ye's health isn't as serious as what Doctor Zhao said..."

Li Mubai had a faint smile.

In Ye Zixiu's eyes, his smile resembled a gentle spring breeze.

But as she now was preoccupied with her grandpa's serious health condition, she seemed to ignore it.

Li Mubai continued, "Grandpa Ye just had heatstroke because of the bad weather..."

With this, Li Mubai walked forward and applied pressure on Ye Junya's philtrum acupuncture point invading the Divine Light of Life into Ye Junya's body.

The Divine Light of Life was a Fine Grade Divine ability, the evolved version of the God-level Medical technique.

Not only does it bring back Ye Junya's consciousness and could completely eradicate his internal injuries, but it could even restore his late stages of Hua-Jin cultivation base!

Hearing what Li Mubai said, everyone present there turned speechless.

Ye Zixiu: "..."

Li Qingyao: "..."

Doctor Zhao: "..."

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Li Mubai didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Actually, he didn't want to act like Ye Xuan when he treats Ye Junya.

He didn't want to say that Ye Junya was in a grave condition and no one but him could treat him...

He just wanted to treat Ye Junya of his own will.

With his Li family's Young Master's status, it didn't matter to him whether or not the Ye family would feel indebted to him.

As for conquering Ye Zixiu, as a villain, Li Mubai doesn't really mind using the same means as the 'Protagonist' to let girls fall for him.

However, his current situation was just a coincidence.

"Brother Mubai, this is not the time to joke!" Ye Zixiu anxiously said, "As long as you can help treat my grandpa, I can promise you anything!"

Ahem...

Li Mubai couldn't help but want to facepalm.

This was actually what Ye Zixiu said to Ye Xuan in the original plotline.

Why did she say the same exact line to him now?

However, at this moment, Ye Junya abruptly coughed and slowly opened his eyes.

In an instant, everyone speechlessly stared at Li Mubai once again.

Ye Zixiu: "..."

Li Qingyao: "..."

Doctor Zhao: "..."

Was it that Ye Junya only had heatstroke?

Doctor Zhao's face showed an unbelievable look.

As he was someone who was responsible to be by Ye Junya's side as a personal doctor, his medical skills weren't that bad.

He had the potential to become an apprentice under a genius doctor!

He had not made any mistake in his diagnosis just now!

But now the facts were before him.

Li Mubai had indeed pressed Ye Junya's philtrum acupuncture point making him regain his consciousness...

Could it be that he had actually misdiagnosed 'heatstroke' as a 'life-and-death crisis'?

Oh my, if this spreads out, he could reckon that his peers would laugh their teeth off!

Doctor Zhao felt embarrassed...

"Qingyao, Let's go have our dinner. I still have things to do tonight."

Now that Ye Junya had regained his consciousness, Li Mubai wanted to excuse himself along with Li Qingyao.

He wasn't in a hurry to conquer Ye Zixiu. She would still study here in Jinghai anyway.

However, he did have an important thing to do tonight...

"En."

Li Qingyao nodded, then said to Ye Zixiu, "Sister Zixiu, we will have to excuse ourselves first. We'll come back to have dinner with you some other day..."

Why wasn't she ready to have dinner with her now?...

The reason was, of course, she wanted to have dinner alone with her brother!

*****

"Zixiu, what's wrong with you?"

After the duo had taken their leave, Ye Junya was now completely awake.

Seeing Ye Zixiu who had dried tearstains on her face, he couldn't help but ask.

"Grandpa, you just had heatstroke. It was Brother Mubai that treated you..."

Ye Zixiu narrated the complete story.

"Heatstroke?"

Ye Junya frowned.

He still remembered fainting from his internal injuries flaring up.

How could it be that he had heatstroke?

Wait...

Ye Junya began to run his qi in cycles and was shocked to discover his findings.

His internal injuries were nowhere!

They were now completely healed!

Even with his qi cycling, he could feel his cultivation base slowly recovering.

Although it would take time for him to restore to his prime... Ye Junya was nonetheless shocked.

He had let many genius doctors treat his internal injuries.

But none could find the cure for him.

Now, he had somehow treated it by himself...

No, it must be that kid Mubai!

Ye Junya stared at Li Mubai's back at the playground exit.

Though Li Mubai had such splendid medical skills, he didn't mean to claim credit after treating him.

Ye Junya couldn't help but look at him in amazement.

Li Mubai was a modest, lowkey, gentleman who hid such powerful skills within himself...

Could it be that the previous rumors of him being a loser was a bluff?

"Grandpa, Brother Mubai had saved you. You must properly offer your thanks to him!"

Ye Zixiu at this moment was also gazing at the departing silhouette of Li Mubai.

She had just said that as long as Brother Mubai could help treat her grandpa, she would promise him to comply with all of his conditions.

But Brother Mubai didn't even seem to care about it...

"This is natural..."

Ye Junya smiled brightly and spoke. He understood the underlying reason better than Ye Zixiu why Li Mubai had treated him...
