1784 Determination

The two guards looked at each other. “Clan Leader, everything is as usual.”

Nan Yifan asked again, “Has anyone come in the past two days?”

Both guards shook their heads. “Other than Elder Nan Ye, nobody else has come.”

Elder Nan Ye was the heavenly doctor that Nan Yifan trusted the most. He was also the only person other than the group from the God-Killing Tumulus who knew about Nan Yuxing’s physical condition.

After they returned, Nan Yifan handed Nan Yuxing to him.

However, a month had passed. Although the external injuries on Nan Yuxing’s body had mostly healed, there still didn’t seem to be any improvement.

Damage to the Yuan meridian was difficult to repair.

Nan Yifan walked inside.

…

It was noon, and the sun was shining brightly.

Nan Yifan pushed the door open and entered without knocking.

As soon as he entered, the strong bitter smell of medicine rushed to his nose, almost choking him.

Nan Yifan frowned and looked around.

The windows were locked, and the room looked gloomy. The faint smell of blood mixed with the bitter smell of medicine was very uncomfortable.

Sunlight poured in through the door, tearing through the dead gloom, but it did not dispel the dead aura.

Nan Yifan walked inside. Walking around the screen, he saw Nan Yuxing lying on the bed.

Nan Yuxing’s situation was even worse than Nan Yiyi’s. At this moment, he was lying on the bed with his eyes closed.

His face was pale and haggard. His face was unshaven, and his lips were chapped. One could vaguely see traces of blood.

His originally handsome face was now green, and his cheeks were deeply sunken.

His aura was weak, like an old man on the verge of death. Where was the arrogance of the Nan family’s former eldest young master?

When Nan Yuxing heard Nan Yifan enter, his eyes moved, but he didn’t open them.

Nan Yifan walked over and stood by the bed. He stared at him for a long time before saying, “Are you going to keep doing this?”

Nan Yuxing’s eyelashes fluttered, and he finally opened his eyes slowly and with difficulty. However, he didn’t look at his father and just stared at the ceiling blankly.

His eyes were dead, filled with despair and mockery.

After a while, he spoke in a hoarse voice. “…What else can I do?”

I’m already crippled. My originally promising life has turned into a bottomless abyss. What is the point of living?

There was nothing in the world that could destroy a person’s will more than letting them fall from the clouds and into the mud.

Nan Yuxing was one such example.

He had been favored by the heavens since he was young. He was chased by everyone and enjoyed all the glory. Overnight, he had become useless—everything in the past had passed. How could he tolerate it?

Nan Yifan paused. “Elder Nan Ye has been looking for a way to help you heal your Yuan meridian…”

Nan Yuxing suddenly laughed, and his voice was extremely soft and sarcastic. “Father, if Elder Nan Ye really had a way, why would he wait until now?”

Nobody knows my physical condition better than I do. My Yuan meridian is completely broken and can’t be repaired. Most of these words are just to comfort me. In reality, my heart is already dead.

Nan Yifan was speechless. He could tell that this matter had indeed dealt a huge blow to Nan Yuxing.

If there was no real practical method, Nan Yuxing would really not be able to recover.

The room was silent.

Nan Yuxing suddenly asked, “Father, in a while, the entire Nan family will know that I’ve become a cripple, right?”

Nan Yifan frowned. Every word of this sentence made him extremely uncomfortable.

“It’s all because I’m useless… I’ve wasted so many years of your hard work.” Nan Yuxing laughed at himself.

He was silent for a moment, then finally turned to look at Nan Yifan. “Father, I want to ask you a favor.”

Nan Yifan stepped forward and nodded slightly. “If you say so.”

Nan Yuxing’s expression became a little strange. “Instead of living like this and becoming a cripple, being mocked and laughed at, it’s better to die directly!”

Nan Yifan’s pupils contracted!

Nan Yuxing did not seem to notice the change in his expression and continued, “Those people are unreliable. Why don’t… you do it yourself? Today, today—to the public, you can just say that I died of serious injuries or any other reason. Anyway, as long as you don’t say that I’m crippled…”

The more Nan Yuxing spoke, the brighter his eyes became as if he felt that this method was very good.

That excited and even expectant expression made Nan Yifan’s heart turn cold.

“Yuxing! What nonsense are you talking about!” Nan Yifan shouted sternly.

However, Nan Yifan paid no attention to his anger; he even chuckled softly. “You know that too, don’t you? Living like this, I’ll only become a pitiful and ridiculous piece of trash! What’s the point?”

I might as well die now! When people mention me, they can even say, “Unfortunately, he died young!”

Nan Yuxing really regretted it. Back in the God-Killing Tumulus, I should’ve killed myself! Why come back and suffer all this?

Looking at his son’s fervent and crazy face, Nan Yifan suddenly couldn’t bring himself to reprimand him. It was as if something was stuck in his chest, making him feel terrible.

There was a long silence. Then, he said suddenly, “Don’t worry. I’ll think of something for you.”

With that, he turned and left.

Nan Yuxing watched his father disappear out the door. The smile on his face gradually faded, and his eyes were filled with defeat and self-deprecation. At this point, what else can be done?

…

The two guards guarding the courtyard door heard footsteps and looked back.

When they saw Nan Yuxing come out so quickly, the two of them were surprised. How long has the family head been in there? It hasn’t even been 15 minutes, right? He came out just like that?

When Nan Yifan walked closer, they realized that his expression was rather ugly. The two of them glanced at each other and quickly looked away, waiting respectfully.

Nan Yifan walked over and stopped when he passed the two of them. “During this period of time, you must keep a close eye on the eldest young master. If anything happens to him, you will all die with him!”

The two of them were shocked and quickly responded. “Yes!”

Only then did Nan Yifan leave.

…

Nan Yifan returned to the study with a heavy heart and sat quietly for a long time. There is indeed a top figure in the God Residence Realm who might be able to help Nan Yuxing repair his Yuan meridian. However… that person isn’t easy to deal with. Moreover, his temper is very strange.

Even if I personally take action, I might not be able to invite him over. If not for the fact that I have no choice, I really don’t want to have anything to do with the other party. However…

At the thought of Nan Yuxing begging him to end his life, Nan Yifan couldn’t show less care.

After hesitating for a long time…

When dusk fell, the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window.

Determination flashed in his eyes as he finally stood up.
