After finding nothing, Ye Guichen finally focused his gaze on King Yan.

There was a small dagger sheath on his waist, and the handle of a dagger protruded from it, like a snake head peeking out.

Ye Guichen stepped forward and removed the dagger sheath, drawing out the dagger. He discovered that it was the golden snake dagger King Yan had used to carve runes on Wang Xiao.

He hadn't looked closely before, but now, holding it in his hand, he realized it was much heavier than a typical dagger. Even the tip of the dagger was different, resembling a snake's tongue with two tiny forks.

He tried to cut the table with the dagger.

It took no effort at all, slicing through the table as if it were tofu.

Keep in mind, that was a pearwood table, known for its hardness.

Ye Guichen's eyes lit up.

This dagger was a treasure.

He tried cutting the floor a couple of times as well, finding it equally sharp, effortlessly slicing through as if cutting tofu.

"Tsk tsk, it's a golden snake dagger that cuts iron like mud," Ye Guichen thought excitedly, putting it away.

After a while, Duan Nanye arrived with people.

Seeing King Yan unconscious, Duan Nanye was first taken aback, then thrilled: "Brother Ye, you, you crippled King Yan?"

Ye Guichen smiled without saying much and pointed to the bed: "Please take Wang Ying back too, I've checked him. Although he can't move now, his body isn't seriously harmed. He'll recover automatically in a few days."

"Alright!" Duan Nanye didn't ask further, immediately instructing a Female Dragon Teeth to carry Wang Ying back.

As for the room, since it was King Yan's lair, there must be something hidden.

But Ye Guichen didn't have time to look any further, so he let Duan Nanye stay to look for clues.

He himself had King Yan sent back to the Jinling Royal Mansion.

Although King Yan was subdued, Wang Xiao's situation was dire.

He wasn't sure if that reverse process spell would work, but he had to try.

Upon entering King Jinling's room, the atmosphere felt oppressive.

In just a couple of hours, King Jinling's body emitted a deathly aura and had waned at an eerie speed.

Mai Gu was relentlessly applying acupuncture to keep Wang Xiao alive, but Wang Xiao's breath was weakening, clearly unable to hold on much longer.

As soon as Ye Guichen entered, all eyes turned to him.

Mai Gu hurried forward: "Sect Leader, what should we do now? His body was already weak, and now with this severe injury within days, I'm afraid…"

The implication was clear – it was hard to save him.

Wang Xiao was nearly a hundred years old; even a young person subjected to two life-threatening events in such a short period wouldn't endure.

Last time, Ye Guichen managed to save Wang Xiao by pushing him to the brink, but it was not that simple this time.

If he used the same method, Wang Xiao might not wake up at all.

Wang Chaoyang stepped forward, seemingly prepared: "Doctor Ye, please don't feel conflicted. This time is different. Even if my father passes, I won't blame you."

Wang Ruolan opened her mouth, obviously feeling guilty towards Ye Guichen.

Without Ye Guichen, the Wang Family might truly be finished.

Still, Wang Ruolan felt Ye Guichen was too timid and didn't dare to act initially.

It was only after Wang Chaoyang explained that Wang Ruolan realized she had misunderstood Ye Guichen.

She wanted to apologize but couldn't bring herself to speak.

"Position Wang Renfeng on the bed next to Wang Xiao. Prepare four medical blood transfusion tubes," Ye Guichen instructed, ignoring Wang Ruolan.

Without thinking, Wang Chaoyang turned and ran out.

Someone also placed Wang Renfeng on the bed, lying next to Wang Xiao.

The news of Wang Ying being found quickly spread throughout the Jinling Royal Mansion. Everyone knew it was thanks to Ye Guichen and felt a mix of curiosity and respect for him.

Soon, following Ye Guichen's instructions, Wang Chaoyang brought the blood transfusion tubes and other items.

Ye Guichen wasn't courteous, "You all leave first, only Master Mai stays here."

Wang Chaoyang didn't object, quickly pulling Wang Ruolan away when she wanted to speak.

He gently closed the door.

"Brother, what does Ye Guichen intend to do? Can he really save father?" Wang Ruolan knew Wang Xiao's condition, almost having one foot in the Ghost Gate, worse than last time.

If he could save Wang Xiao under these circumstances, Ye Guichen might truly be a divine being.

Wang Chaoyang furrowed his brows, skeptically, sighing: "Ruolan, you saw today's situation. Without Mr. Ye, our Wang Family might be utterly defeated, killed by Wang Renfeng. We owe Mr. Ye an unrepayable debt. Whether he saves father is secondary, our attitude matters. I'll stay here. You must tell everyone in the Prince Mansion to keep this secret, even if father isn't saved. Understood?"

Wang Ruolan was puzzled: "Why?"

Wang Chaoyang, calculating: "As I understand, Mr. Ye's uncle, Divine Doctor Mai, is planning to open a Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall in Jinling, promoting their Shennong Sect. If people knew Mr. Ye couldn't save someone, it'd be exaggerated by those wishing harm. They wouldn't care about the severity of father's illness, only slandering Shennong Sect. This would hurt Divine Doctor Mai's plans for the hall."

"Thus, we must keep this secret and even praise Mr. Ye's miraculous skills. Do you understand?"

Wang Ruolan nodded, dazed: "Brother, I understand. You want to support them through the medicine hall matter?"

Wang Chaoyang smiled bitterly: "What else can we do? Moreover, try to involve them more. If possible, let the hall bear our Jinling Royal Mansion's insignia."

"Why?" Wang Ruolan understood the significance of the Jinling Royal Mansion insignia.

Even if they owed Ye Guichen, wasn't it too much?

A medicine hall could be a risky endeavor. If something went wrong, it might involve life and death issues.

Why would Wang Chaoyang insist?

The Jinling Royal Mansion had an influential status in Jinling, but not in the medical field.

If they offended the wrong people, it could spell trouble.

The Jinling Royal Mansion was in turmoil, seeking stability, avoiding unnecessary entanglements.
