At this moment, Lao Bai's strong support and absolute trust warmed Luo Zixi's heart once again.

In another world, she dared not entrust her back to anyone.

Even fewer people dared to completely trust her, because no one could guarantee that they wouldn't be betrayed by an assassin.

Now Luo Zixi sees that Lao Bai stands firmly by her side, believing in her unconditionally.

Luo Zixi understood the meaning behind Lao Bai's words perfectly; he had staked his entire fortune and life on her.

If she can cure Old Li in front of her, then Old Bai will definitely be given greater responsibility and appreciation.

But if anything goes wrong, Old Bai's future will basically be ruined.

Luo Zixi already knew Li Laoshi's identity; he was one of the most prominent figures in the Eastern lands.

Their influence is enormous; a single word from them can shake the entire East, and might even have international repercussions.

It's easy to imagine how much power such a great figure wields in this world.

Old Bai himself is no ordinary person either; being able to protect such an important figure is an opportunity that many people would envy.

This also shows that Lao Bai's own abilities and character have been recognized by the big boss!

In fact, Lao Bai's words now seem to carry a lot of weight in front of Lao Li.

"Alright, you don't need to say anything more. Let the young lady come over and take my pulse first."

There was also an elderly doctor over there, but he was clearly a Western doctor. This doctor in the white coat didn't look down on her just because she was a traditional Chinese medicine doctor and a young girl, as Luo Zixi had expected.

He watched with interest as Luo Zixi made her next move.

Seeing Luo Zixi perform the entire diagnostic process of observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation with remarkable skill, the old physician raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself:

Hmm, this girl is really something, she's definitely got some skills!

At this moment, he felt a little relieved. But he didn't say anything, just kept his eyes fixed on her, just in case Luo Zixi made any mistakes.

But now it seems his worries were unnecessary; the other person's medical skills were no less than his!

As for Luo Zixi, she didn't even glance at the old doctor once throughout the entire process, focusing entirely on her own work.

"Alright, old man. Actually, I already knew as soon as you came in. You suffered serious injuries during the war when you were young, and countless shrapnel are still lodged in your body, damaging your vital energy and foundation."

"It's fortunate that you're in good health, much stronger than the average person, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to hold on for so many years. If things had continued like this, you would indeed only have another year or two left."

When Old Li heard Luo Zixi say this, he didn't show any displeasure. On the contrary, he greatly admired the young girl in front of him.

“Little girl, you’re very perceptive. It’s true. However, those who know me well already know this.”

“I know you’re not one to boast, Xiaobai’s friend, I trust you. You’re different from those people, and I, this old man, have never misjudged anyone.”

"You really have a way to make me live another ten or eight years, right?"

Luo Zixi smiled gently and answered confidently:

"Of course, I wouldn't say that without absolute certainty."

"The next treatment will only be conducted with you and me present. It involves some family secret techniques that we don't want outsiders to see. Please understand! Anyway, I will be able to cure you."

Upon hearing Luo Zixi's words, the old doctor raised his eyebrows again and looked at Old Li beside him.

Old Li nodded slightly to him, signaling him to go out first.

The old doctor stood up respectfully, bowed slightly to Old Li, and quickly left. Before leaving, he couldn't help but take a deep look at Luo Zixi.

He was very curious about what methods Luo Zixi would use to cure Old Master Li's injuries and illnesses.

This really piqued his interest.

After all, as a doctor, I really hope to see treatments for any disease become more widely available, so that more people can be cured.

However, thinking about the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine and its current state, he couldn't help but sigh softly and shake his head.

It's all due to the times; it's truly a tragedy...

Now, only Luo Zixi and Old Li remained in the room.

“Come on, young lady, I’m entrusting my life to you now. Just do it without worrying about anything. I’ve already told those brats that even if they can’t cure you, they won’t blame you.”

At this moment, Luo Zixi couldn't help but roll her eyes:

"Are you trying to subtly hint at something? Don't worry, if I say I can save you, I definitely can!"

"Now close your eyes and take a nap. When you wake up, your pain will be gone."

After Luo Zixi finished speaking, she gently inserted a silver needle into the old man's vagina, and he quickly drifted off to sleep.

Looking at Old Li, whose hair was completely white, he was still in good spirits, but he was exhausted and was now showing signs of a final burst of energy before death.

Once all that energy is used up, even a god couldn't save the situation.

It was fortunate that they encountered Luo Zixi; any other doctor would have been helpless.

Luo Zixi stood up and carefully looked around to see if there were any hidden surveillance cameras.

Although such equipment is hard to come by now, he is, after all, one of the top figures, and might leave behind something for secret observation.

However, Luo Zixi was most familiar with this kind of thing, and she could spot any hidden items in the room at a glance.
