Chapter 229: Worldline Correction?

Chapter 229: Chapter 229: Worldline Correction?

"A miracle..."

As a Professor of medicine, Professor Su didn’t really believe in such statements; she only trusted the cold, hard data on the instruments.

But she had to admit, in her career, she had seen too many people survive because of their will.

They didn’t want to leave this world just like that, didn’t want to lose the people they loved, and even more, didn’t want to abandon their families and leave their daughters without a pillar of support.

No matter how much pain, how much exhaustion, how much difficulty, even if hope was slim to almost zero, such miracles would still happen.

Inari asked, "Actually, I feel like our instruments didn’t do much. Professor, do you have any other ways to help Haruko?"

Professor Su shrugged, "I don’t have any, but... I have heard of someone who might have a way."

Inari raised an eyebrow, "Is it an outsider?"

"Yes." Professor Su nodded, "It’s only been about two months, Dongfang kid, you should have heard of him too, that young Divine Doctor who has recently become famous."

"The one who cured the Si family elder?" Inari’s expression was surprised, "Wasn’t that a rumor?"

Kyushu City was only so big. After Sento died, there were only two families who truly controlled this place among the three major families.

One was his Dongfang Family.

The Beijing Dongfang Family didn’t want to get involved in this mess and wanted him, Inari, to return to Beijing, but he insisted on staying. So the family sent someone to Kyushu City to stabilize the base.

The other was Shin’s Si family.

But the Si family in Kyushu City wasn’t close to Shin. He was originally an outcast of the Beijing Si family, expelled by his brother, and had no choice but to come to Kyushu City.

And the Si family in Kyushu City was still outwardly his brother’s force. In the original story, before he received help from Ichiko’s War God Father, he was just a nobody in Kyushu City.

He had some influence but was severely restricted.

Now, having absorbed some of Sento’s forces, he could stand on the stage and make some noise.

Originally, if this elder of the Si family in Kyushu City had died of illness, Shin could have taken the opportunity to absorb the forces of his elder brother in Kyushu City and strengthen himself.

Everyone thought that once the elder died, Shin, the outcast, would truly stand on the stage.

However, two months ago, a Divine Doctor who appeared out of nowhere, looking less than 25 years old, actually saved the dying elder with his "Divine Needle" technique!

Countless prestigious families came seeking his help, offering huge sums to invite this Divine Doctor who could bring people back to life.

Inari originally wanted to go see him too. His grandfather wasn’t in good health and had been in the Beijing Hospital.

But then a rumor spread that it was actually false, and because of Haruko’s death, he had put the matter aside.

And now, they were saying this was true?

Professor Su said seriously, "The rumor was spread by the Si family who wanted to keep this Divine Doctor to themselves. I went to see that elder before, his name is Si Zhenliu."

Inari: "How is his condition?"

"His condition is incredibly good!" Professor Su’s words were filled with shock, "As early as half a year ago, I was invited to diagnose Si Zhenliu. At 72 years old, he had at most one year left to live, surviving solely on expensive nutrient solutions."

"But when I saw him last time, I found that he could already get out of bed and eat normally, and could even do simple exercises. His complexion was surprisingly good!"

"Some even say he called some 20-year-old girls to his room late at night! You know this old man is 72 years old!"

Professor Su’s expression became much more serious, "I suspect, this Divine Doctor is someone from your side. It’s simply unheard of!"

Inari pondered, "Even if they are from that side, they couldn’t do this."

After all, he grew up in the family and was the designated sole heir of the Dongfang Family.

There was more than one Ancient martial artist bodyguard hidden in the dark protecting him.

He was too familiar with people who practiced martial arts.

At most, they could improve their physical fitness. Lightness skill was already quite exaggerated, and dodging bullets was the ultimate extreme. Out of a thousand Ancient martial artists, it’s estimated that not even one could casually dodge bullets.

Those who could cultivate to that level were all old people.

They couldn’t even walk properly, how could they dodge bullets?

What about controlling scissors with Qi, or cutting water with a knife... Perhaps they read too many novels?

He didn’t believe in this Divine Doctor, but... the change in that elder was evident to all.

"Oh, right." Inari suddenly remembered something and took out his phone, "I remember the Si family sent me an invitation. It seems to be for this Si Zhenliu’s 73rd birthday."

"Let me check the time..." Inari exclaimed, "It’s exactly next Saturday, five days from now."

Professor Su asked, "Do you want to go take a look?"

Inari was silent and thought for a while. Haruko’s innocent yet somewhat timid smile flashed in his mind, and he sighed, "Let’s go."

Originally, he didn’t want to go.

From a perspective of interest, he represented the Dongfang Family. Going there would imply taking sides and making connections.

One had to know that Shin was his friend, not Shin’s elder brother.

However, he had to grasp that little bit of hope. What if that Divine Doctor really had something special.

Wouldn’t Haruko really have a chance to be saved?

Just then, a small voice suddenly came from behind them, "Can I go to this birthday banquet with you?"

Inari and Professor Su turned around abruptly and noticed Ichiko standing behind the half-open door.

His mouth twitched, "Ichiko, when did you start listening?"

"When you mentioned the Divine Doctor."

Ichiko walked out, feeling a bit embarrassed, but her eyes were very firm, "If there’s really a chance to save Haruko, I’m willing to do anything!"

Professor Su shrugged, "It’s possible. Miss Su can go as your female companion. In terms of looks and temperament, no one will think you’re an ordinary daughter."

But as soon as she said that, Ichiko became conflicted.

She looked like she had something to say but hesitated.

No matter what, she secretly had a slight liking for Haruko.

She didn’t have this feeling before, so she wouldn’t have minded.

But now, letting her be Inari’s female companion, even if it was just pretending, still made her feel like she was implicitly betraying Haruko.

Even though Inari was a good person.

Before she could speak, Inari noticed her hesitation and chuckled, "No need to force yourself. My family has already arranged a female companion for me. Ichiko, you can just go with me as my sister."

"Okay!"

Ichiko breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt more embarrassed.

Leaving a sentence, "I’ll go see Haruko again," she returned to the ward and closed the door behind her.

Beside her, Professor Su asked in confusion, "When did you prepare a female companion?"

"Right now." Inari took out his phone, walked to the balcony, and called an old acquaintance, "Hey, Akina?"

A pleasant, mature female voice answered from the other end of the phone, "Spit it out."

"This weekend is the Si family elder’s 73rd birthday. Your Qian Family must have also been invited. This Young Master knows you’re missing a male companion, how about I lend myself to you for one night?"
