Li Xiaoxian and Shen You were startled when they saw Li Yundong returning. Shen You couldn't help but angrily demand, "What are you doing back here? This is all your fault; my father ended up like this because of you!"

Li Xiaoxian's heart stirred, and she chimed in with a loud curse, "Exactly! You walking disaster, you bring bad luck! It's because you showed up that Old Shen is in this state!"

Although Third Madam constantly clashed with Li Xiaoxian, she also felt that the situation stemmed from Shen Wancai's insistence that Shen You and Shen Hui apprentice under Li Yundong. If it weren't for Li Yundong's existence, Shen Wancai would absolutely not be lying there now. Therefore, she also shouted loudly, "Go! No one asked you to come back!" As she spoke, she turned and bellowed at the butler, who was frozen stiff with fear, "What are you standing there for? Call someone!"

As she said this, she realized that if Shen Wancai truly died, she would have no standing or weight in this household. She would surely be bullied by Li Xiaoxian in the future, and her remaining years would be bleak—unthinkable.

The thought struck her, and Third Madam burst into tears like a heartbroken woman, streams of tears flowing down as she clung to Shen Wancai and began to sob loudly.

Yin Mengfan, seeing Third Madam's ill-timed wailing, couldn't help but feel exasperated. "Stop crying! I invited Li Yundong here to treat Uncle. He is an extraordinary master. Remember when Cao Kefei had a heart attack? He saved her right there on the spot! Without him, Cao Kefei would already be dead!"

A stir rippled through the crowd, and gazes, astonished and complex, turned toward Li Yundong. They saw that although Li Yundong possessed an imposing bearing and a calm demeanor, he looked far too young—hardly the image of an experienced doctor.

Rong Jun stared at Li Yundong, astonishment plain on his face, and couldn't resist asking, "You're a doctor?"

Li Yundong offered a slight smile. "No."

Rong Jun grew even more surprised. "Then what right do you have to practice medicine?"

Yin Mengfan couldn't help but glare at him, snapping, "Don't you believe me? When Cao Kefei's heart failed, all of us were helpless. Coincidentally, Cao Kefei had just run out of her medicine. I thought for sure she was done for, but Li Yundong saved her with only massage by his hands! I saw it with my own eyes, and so did Cao Kefei's company staff. Do you need me to find witnesses?"

Yin Mengfan was naturally a strong, assertive businesswoman who had navigated the corporate world and held high positions for a long time. When she erupted in anger, everyone present couldn't help but think: Yin Mengfan highly praises this young man, and previously, Shen Wancai was extremely warm toward him. Perhaps they misjudged once, but when two people hold him in such high regard, maybe he truly is an unfathomable prodigy?

Li Xiaoxian felt a tremor in her heart. She knew Yin Mengfan never spoke lightly. If what Yin Mengfan said was true, and this young man genuinely possessed the ability to save Shen Wancai, she would be doomed!

Li Xiaoxian immediately moved closer to Shen You without drawing attention. She hooked her finger around his arm and lowered her voice to whisper, "Say something, do something. Do you want to watch him live again just to make things difficult for your mother and me?"

Shen You snapped out of his daze and immediately jumped up, shouting, "No way! What if Dad could have been saved, but this person really kills him? Besides, this person doesn't have a medical license, and he's not a doctor! Last time was a coincidence; should we let him try again? My dad is not some barefoot doctor's test subject!"

Li Xiaoxian adopted a look of sorrowful distress, squatting down and clutching Shen Wancai’s hand as she cried, "Old Shen, it's my fault. I didn't discipline our son well enough, and I angered you to this state. Don't worry, I will find the best doctors to treat you. You will surely recover!"

Although Li Xiaoxian didn't explicitly object, every word she uttered implied: Shen Wancai can still be saved; we cannot let this young man tamper with things. What she truly wanted was to stall for time; the longer it dragged on, the less hope Shen Wancai would have.

Others were unsure if Shen Wancai was truly dead or only pretending, but Li Yundong and Su Chan knew the truth perfectly well, seeing through Li Xiaoxian's scheme as clearly as day.

Su Chan couldn't help but whisper softly to Li Yundong, "Yundong, this woman is vicious!"

Li Yundong shook his head, signaling her to remain quiet.

But while the two of them tried to keep a low profile, others were unwilling to let them off. Shen You once again initiated an attack on Li Yundong, attempting to shift the conflict.

Shen You roared loudly, "You two, scram! I don't want to see you! Every time I see you, nothing good happens!"

Rong Jun seized the opportunity to strike, seeking revenge for being tricked by Li Yundong earlier. He declared sanctimoniously, "Exactly! Everything was fine until you showed up, and then disaster struck!" He then turned to Li Xiaoxian and said, "Aunt Shen, don't worry, I know a very good doctor. I'll call him right now!"

Rong Jun pulled out his phone, only to find Su Chan glaring furiously at him. This displeased him further, and he vented his frustration onto Li Yundong, shouting harshly, "What are you waiting for? Get lost! Can't you see everyone here dislikes you staying?"

Having experienced the massacre at Qingcheng Mountain, Su Chan harbored a persistent question: Why must the world constantly oppose them, especially Li Yundong? Why would people commit heinous crimes just to frame him? What was the reason?

The little girl watched as everyone took turns blaming Li Yundong. Although Li Yundong maintained a gentle smile, she finally couldn't hold back.

Su Chan couldn't contain herself and suddenly let out an angry shriek, "Why do you all always have to make things difficult for Yundong! Why!"

Her sudden outburst startled everyone into silence, and even Li Yundong paused, looking at her strangely.

The little girl trembled with emotion. She stepped forward and yelled fiercely, "You blind, truth-distorting fools who judge by appearances! Our Yundong is the greatest marvel under heaven, the kindest person. He has never offended anyone or caused trouble for anyone, so why do some people in this world always try to antagonize him? Why?"

As she spoke, boiling with indignation, she pointed at Shen Wancai on the floor and declared, "For someone like this, never mind if he’s dead—even if he were dead, my Yundong could bring him back! You ignore such a divine physician who can revive the dead and mend bones, yet you seek help far away when it's right here! Hmph, you deserve to have a dead person in your family!"

A beauty's fury unleashed was like a bomb. When someone like Su Chan erupted, it was truly like dropping a nuclear warhead onto the scene, stunning everyone into silence. The atmosphere became utterly dead.

Su Chan grew more agitated the longer she spoke. She turned to pull Li Yundong's hand, her eyes glistening with unshed tears, and said, "Yundong, let's go. Don't pay attention to these blind fools!"

Saying that, she began leading Li Yundong toward the exit.

It was only then that everyone snapped back to reality. Li Xiaoxian trembled with rage. She couldn't help but snarl, "Who does she think she is, daring to lecture us like that?"

Yin Mengfan knew that Li Yundong was completely obedient to Su Chan. If Su Chan pulled him away, Li Yundong would certainly leave without a word, disregard any past connections. Alarmed, she grabbed Third Madam's arm and exclaimed, "Aunt Zheng, do you want to watch your husband die? Go beg Li Yundong! Only he can save your husband!"

Third Madam had composed herself somewhat and still spoke with lingering doubt, "He can really save him? But... but he's not a doctor!"

Yin Mengfan stamped her foot. "At a time like this, are you still worried about that? If we wait for a doctor, the man will be completely gone! Isn't this the moment to treat a dying horse as if it were alive?"

That single sentence jolted Third Madam to awareness. She was no fool. She instantly understood, reflexively rising to her feet, intending to chase after them. But as she moved, she felt that going alone might not be enough, so she immediately grabbed Shen Hui and rushed out of the crowd, saying as they ran, "Quick, go beg him! If Grandpa truly dies, how will my daughter and I live?"

Shen Hui was merely a pampered young lady. Facing such a sudden, massive upheaval, she couldn't process anything. She was dragged out by her mother in a daze, her mind a chaotic mess.

Third Madam quickly caught up to Li Yundong, crying out desperately, "Young Master Li, please stop! Please stay!"

Li Yundong did not turn around. Instead, Su Chan spun around, her face icy cold, and chastised them fiercely, "What more do you want? Isn't it enough that we are leaving?"

Seeing this, Third Madam’s heart sank. She now viewed Li Yundong as the last straw to grasp. If even this final lifeline slipped away, she truly wouldn't know what to do.

Panic set in, and her already trembling legs gave way. With a soft thud, she knelt on the ground, tears pouring down as she wailed, "Young Master Li, you are magnanimous; please don't hold their actions against us. They must be plotting to harm the Master, which is why they are obstructing you at every turn! Please, don't fall for their tricks! I truly believe in your medical skill, Young Master Li, truly! If you don't believe me, ask Xiao Hui..."

Desperate in her crisis, Third Madam tugged hard on Shen Hui. "Xiao Hui, isn't that right? Say something! Speak up!"

Only then did Shen Hui return to her senses. Her eyes tear-filled as she looked at Li Yundong. She saw the young, handsome man turn back, a gentle smile on his face, looking completely self-assured, as if even if the heavens fell, he could turn the tide.

Shen Hui's previous hostility toward Li Yundong stemmed first from a terrible first impression, and second from Yin Mengfan's excessive praise and her father's insistence that she become his disciple, which had triggered the young girl's rebellious nature.

But now, confronting such a massive crisis, Shen Hui seemed to have matured instantly. She had witnessed Li Yundong's miraculous abilities more than once before. Previously, she instinctively refused to believe in his exceptional talents, but now, she understood with perfect clarity!

At this moment, the only person who could save her father was likely the young man standing before her!

Without further hesitation, Shen Hui also dropped to her knees with a thud, crying out, "Li Yundong, I know you are an extraordinary man. Please forgive my past rudeness and ignorance, and save my father!" Saying this, she bowed low to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.

Li Yundong was naturally a person who cherished beauty and pity. Seeing Shen Hui actually kneeling and admitting her faults, he sighed softly. He gently raised a hand, and a surge of powerful True Essence gently lifted both Shen Hui and Third Madam into the air. He sighed again and said, "Forget it. Those who don't know are not guilty."

When Shen Hui and Third Madam saw Li Yundong, who was still a meter or two away, lift them into the air with just a raised hand—it was so miraculous it resembled a fantastical scene from a movie—they were both shocked and overjoyed.

Third Madam had previously been half-doubting, treating him as a last resort for a dying man. But now, she completely believed Yin Mengfan’s words. This young man definitely possessed extraordinary abilities!

She exclaimed in ecstatic joy, "Young Master Li, you agree to save our Master? That’s wonderful! You truly have a kind heart. May the Bodhisattva of Compassion bless you in this great calamity!"

Li Yundong chuckled. "Remembering the Buddha only now won't be very effective!" Saying this, he turned and gently stroked the little girl’s hair, saying softly, "Chan'er, shall I go save CEO Shen?"

Su Chan’s heart softened a bit from their crying, but she still tilted her head up, tears shining in her eyes, and said, "Yundong, I have no objection to you saving people. But do you know something? In my heart, you are the greatest hero under heaven, the foremost master. How can you let people bully you like this without saying a word? You must promise me that you will never let anyone look down on you, okay? It makes me very sad to see others belittle you!"

Having emerged from the Thousand Worlds, Li Yundong was long past being the irritable youth he once was. This was why he hadn't lashed out when confronted by everyone. But now, seeing the little girl's eyes brimming with tears, his heart filled with tenderness and love. He reached out and gently wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. Li Yundong said seriously and solemnly, "Okay, I promise you! For your sake, from this day forward, I absolutely will not allow anyone to look down on me! Today, I will show them what the divine art of resurrecting the dead and mending bone truly is!"
