Chapter 506 - 507: Legacy
The Ding family’s elderly patriarch was also advanced in years and weak in body, but that was just due to old age and physical decline. When Song Xiaodong applied acupuncture, he was definitely tired, but it was somewhat better.
However, Elder Fang’s body had accumulated many years of cold energy, and on top of being elderly, it was more troublesome.
This was because Elder Fang had practiced martial arts since childhood, and he was a martial arts master. In his youth, he was definitely not someone who could be defeated by a dozen individuals; that was also the reason he survived on the battlefield.
The benefit of practicing martial arts was that it gave him a better constitution than ordinary people, allowing him to hold on until now. Otherwise, he might have long gone to meet his old comrades-in-arms.
Song Xiaodong spent a full hour administering acupuncture this time, with Lin Su’er constantly wiping his sweat at his side. Her heart ached for him, but she dared not speak much, silently being an excellent helper.
After Song Xiaodong removed all the needles, he was nearly exhausted. Elder Fang knew this would happen and had arranged a room nearby in advance; immediately, a servant helped Lin Su’er escort Song Xiaodong there to rest.
When Song Xiaodong woke up, it was already past ten at night. As he opened his eyes, he saw Lin Su’er sitting beside him, her face full of concern.
"You’ve been with me the whole time?" Song Xiaodong reached out and took Lin Su’er’s hand.
Lin Su’er immediately smiled and said, "I don’t know anyone here, and I dare not wander around, so I thought it best to stay with you."
"I forgot to have them take care of you. It’s already past ten; you must be very bored."
