Chapter 584: An Old Acquaintance
Hearing Ren Woxing curse Linghu Chong angrily, Physician Jia, standing nearby, had a peculiar expression, seemingly suppressing laughter.
Meanwhile, Ren Yingying, lying on the bed, found it both frustrating and amusing. “Father~”
Hearing the reproachful tone in his daughter’s voice, Ren Woxing’s eyes widened as if they were bronze bells.
“What now? Are you siding with an outsider so soon?”
Ren Yingying bit her lip in dissatisfaction. “This habit isn’t something Brother Chong passed on to me—it’s because I…” Halfway through her sentence, she abruptly stopped speaking. After all, she needed to keep up her act to ‘trick’ her father into teaching her the Cosmic Absorption Technique—not for the despicable Song Qingshu, but for Linghu Chong.
She understood her father’s intentions. If Linghu Chong refused to join the Sun Moon Holy Cult, her father would never disclose the method to resolve the hidden dangers of the Cosmic Absorption Technique. Yet, given her Brother Chong’s temperament, how could he possibly yield? Hence, she had to cooperate with Song Qingshu to deceive her father—despicable Song would save his friend, while she would save Linghu Chong.
Fortunately, Ren Woxing, preoccupied with her health, didn’t notice the flaw in her words. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly asked Physician Jia, “If I use the Cosmic Absorption Technique to draw the foreign True Qi from Yingying’s body, will that work?”
“Absolutely not!” Physician Jia exclaimed, his face pale with fright. “The foreign True Qi and the young lady’s internal energy have long been intertwined. If you forcibly use the Cosmic Absorption Technique, you’ll extract her own internal energy along with the foreign one, leaving her as a cripple.”
“That’s precisely what I was concerned about,” Ren Woxing nodded in agreement. He gazed lovingly at his daughter lying on the bed. “Yingying, it seems you’ll have to learn the Cosmic Absorption Technique yourself to resolve the crisis within you.”
