Chapter 1426

Nangong Xu has been spending almost every day with the old man recently, leaving Baili Xia with no chance to talk to him about things.

During breakfast, Baili Xia ran into him and asked him to come to her room after eating, saying she had something to discuss.

After breakfast, the two of them returned to Baili Xia’s room together.

As soon as the door was closed, before they could even sit down, Nangong Xu asked, “What’s so mysterious that it couldn’t be said during breakfast?”

Baili Xia said, “Master, regarding Brother You’s health, do you think this kind of thing can be discussed outside?”

Nangong Xu looked at her and walked to the sofa to sit down.

Lately, he’s been busy taking care of the old man and hasn’t really paid attention to Bei Tianyou’s health.

They came here intending to treat him, but unexpected issues arose once they arrived.

However, Nangong Xu has been monitoring Bei Tianyou’s treatment progress.

The necessary methods have all been instructed to Baili Xia.

As long as Baili Xia follows his instructions, nothing unexpected should happen.

Though he hasn’t taken matters into his own hands…

Thinking of this, he felt a little guilty and slowly said, “How’s he been lately?”

“Not well, really not well.”

Nangong Xu was slightly shocked and asked, “What’s wrong? Has something happened?”

Baili Xia shook her head, looking worried.

“You know, ever since he realized my acupuncture could relieve his pain, he stopped taking his medication.”

“But without the medication, his body keeps getting weaker. I’m afraid one day he won’t be able to…”

Baili Xia didn’t want to imagine further; seeing Bei Tianyou’s current state was already heart-wrenching for her.

Nangong Xu felt relieved, at least these are chronic symptoms Baili Xia mentioned.

As long as they’re not acute, there’s time to find a solution.

He thought for a moment and slowly said, “He’s like this now because he’s not taking medication; his body’s balance is broken, immunity weakened, and that’s why he’s fragile.”

“But, if he can endure, once his body adapts, it will eventually get better.”

Baili Xia understood these principles, yet her worries remained.

“But who knows how long it’ll take?

What if, I mean what if, he doesn’t endure…”

Unable to continue, she asked, “Master, do you have any method to cure him completely?”

Nangong Xu sighed slowly and said, “Actually, I’ve considered many methods, but the key is the medication he’s taking.”

“This medication has severe side effects, and the only way is to stop it completely.

Without the side effects, we have a chance.”

It’s like a vicious cycle: stop the medication, the body weakens, which raises more concerns.

Baili Xia was completely trapped in it, unable to escape.

They talked for a long time, but ultimately there was no new method found.

Stop medication, endure, provide acupuncture timely when he can’t endure, and recover slowly.

Decade-long ailments cannot be cured overnight.

Everything still requires time.

“I need to go visit the old man now; he can’t do without me at the moment.”

Nangong Xu glanced at the worried Baili Xia and started to comfort her.

“Currently, we don’t have any better solutions, so we can only see how we can help him through this medication withdrawal period.

During this time, spend more time with him.”

“Yes, I understand.” Baili Xia nodded and said helplessly, “Master, I’ll walk you downstairs.”

After a couple of steps, something suddenly came to mind, and she looked at Nangong Xu with seriousness.

“Master, Nangong Yun has changed now, becoming somewhat ruthless. She might still resent you for past issues; you must be careful these days!”
