037 Might as well give himself to her

Xiao Mo forced himself to stay calm, but he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart. Zhuang Liu had suffered a lot over the years; Xiao Mo, although just his assistant, truly idolized him like an older brother. Xiao Mo was so happy he couldn't stop smiling, "If Miss Tan can really cure your illness, she will be my great benefactor. From now on, I would do anything for her without a second word!" Zhuang Liu nodded, "She is also my great benefactor. She has already helped me so much, and now she is doing even more. I am forever indebted." Xiao Mo was too happy and even started to joke, "Since Third Young Master cares so much about Miss Tan, you might as well marry her!" Zhuang Liu rarely showed shyness as he pursed his lips, but his eyes sparkled with a unique light; his feelings for Tan Rou had always been strong, and this incident only deepened his resolve. The two gradually calmed their excited emotions. Zhuang Liu instructed, "The treatment location must be chosen carefully, somewhere hidden. If those old fools knew my leg could be healed, they would be desperate, and I don't want to deal with their mess at this time." After a pause, he added, "And let's not spread the word at home for now." Zhuang Liu trusted Tan Rou, but after all, the treatment would take some time. Zhuang Liu's father and Madam Zhuang had lived in guilt over the years, feeling they had not protected Zhuang Liu enough and allowed him to suffer since childhood. Grandma Zhuang loved her grandson dearly, as if he were the apple of her eye. They had already experienced too many false hopes over the years. Zhuang Liu wanted to wait until he could truly stand up to give them a real surprise. Xiao Mo understood immediately, "Alright, I understand. I'll contact our hotel right now and prepare your presidential suite." After purchasing the necessary herbs, Tan Rou also stopped by Bai Jing's He Shou Tang to prepare the medicine and discuss her plan. As Tan Rou slowly cooked the medicine, she said to Bai Jing, "I plan to initially induce one of the toxins to fight the others, attacking poison with poison, allowing the poisons in Zhuang Liu's body to combat each other, and then finally resolving the last poison completely." Bai Jing had been excited since the moment Tan Rou entered and said she had a way to detoxify. It had only taken a few days for Tan Rou to come up with a solution, much sooner than he had anticipated! Hearing Tan Rou's explanation, Bai Jing was thrilled, "Just like Gu Refinement?" Gu Refinement involved placing several Gu insects together, allowing them to fight one another, consuming each other until only the strongest, the Gu King, survived. Tan Rou smiled and nodded, "If I'm not mistaken, one of the poisons, a particularly rare and strong one, should prevail once induced. It will fend off the other poisons, allowing for a complete detoxification." Bai Jing was immensely impressed, "Brilliant! How did I not think of this? But..." he hesitated, "Given this poison's strength, during its activation, can Zhuang Liu endure it?" Tan Rou had already considered this, "I will assist by applying acupuncture to protect his heart channels and control the intensity of the induction. It might be uncomfortable, but there shouldn't be major issues." With his last concern addressed, tears began to well up in Bai Jing's eyes, "My dear young friend, you have truly lifted a great burden from my heart!" Tan Rou quickly went to console Bai Jing, "Uncle Bai, it will be alright, please don't get too worked up." Bai Jing wiped the corners of his eyes, "Don't laugh, but I've had many sleepless nights, this issue weighing heavy on my heart." His voice choked up, "The things I said to you before weren't just to persuade you to accept; they were my heartfelt feelings. I consider Zhuang Liu as my own child. I wouldn't rest in peace if I couldn't cure him." Tan Rou felt a pang of emotion herself; Bai Jing, Zhuang Liu, and even Zhuang Liu's assistant were all good people. The pureness of their relationships also moved Tan Rou deeply. Tan Rou said, "Uncle Bai, rest assured. With your deep care for Zhuang Liu, he won't let your love go to waste." Bai Jing patted Tan Rou's hand, "My dear young friend, your medical skills are no less than mine, perhaps even surpassing me. I wholeheartedly believe in you." Bai Jing looked at Tan Rou affectionately, "If you don't mind, old man that I am, I'd take advantage, considering both you and Zhuang Liu as my children. I would impart all my knowledge to you." Tan Rou smiled touched, "Uncle Bai, how could I mind? I couldn't ask for more!"
