Surgery was incredibly exhausting, far beyond what could be mended by a simple infusion of spiritual power. Right now, all Xi Yue wanted was a good, long sleep.

A pair of hands quickly supported her, steadying her unsteady form. They quickly passed through the crowd and walked toward the room in the back.

Xi Yue glanced at the young man next to her and smiled. “With so many different types of people around, I’m surprised you’ve stuck around this long.”

Xi Yue knew that Xi Weizhi had always disliked crowds and chaos; such things would stir deep-seated rage within him.

Weizhi glanced at her and said calmly, “That’s because you are here.”

Xi Yue was momentarily stunned, unable to gather her thoughts. Weizhi said nothing further, gently guiding her into the room. He watched over her as she lay down and drifted off to sleep, then quietly closed the door and slipped away.

Meanwhile, Chen Hongsen, Chen Jian, and the others left in the hall were ashen-faced, muttering repeatedly, “How is this possible?”

Bai Yingfan sneered, “It’s clear now who the real quacks are. You should be grateful to the Divine Doctor Xi for ensuring the safe birth of my child. Otherwise, Chen’s Clinic would have been guilty of causing my child’s death, and the Bai Family would never have forgiven you!”

Chen Jian and Hu Qingming felt a wave of darkness wash over them at those words, nearly collapsing to the ground.

The people watching nearby pointed at them, their voices full of ridicule and contempt.

“I thought they might have some connection with the Heaven Medical Valley and would be highly skilled, but they’re just worthless quacks.”

“That’s not entirely fair. After all, Xi Yue from Sumeru Clinic is a Divine Doctor. Can ordinary people even compare to her? It’s only natural that they can’t measure up.”

“Well said! From now on, we should come to Sumeru Clinic for treatment. The people at Chen’s Clinic lack skill, slander others, and twist the truth. Now that they’ve fallen out of favor with the Bai Family, their future in Skyrise City looks bleak!”

“Exactly! To avoid offending the Bai family, it’s best to stay away from Chen’s Clinic. Besides, there’s no shortage of clinics in Skyrise City.”

The murmurs and gossip of the crowd reached Chen Jian and the others, filling their hearts with regret and frustration. Yet, powerless to change anything, they could only leave in shame and defeat.

As Chen Jian stepped out of Sumeru Clinic, his hands clenched into tight fists, his eyes filled with a deep, brooding intensity.

His plans to earn crystal stones and make a name for himself in Skyrise City had all been ruined by this Sumeru Clinic. Now, he feared it would be nearly impossible to establish himself in the city, and it could even jeopardize his father’s standing in the Heaven Medical Valley. And it was all because of that brat, Xi Yue!

After a good rest, Xi Yue felt rejuvenated.

By the afternoon, Lin Peiyun had fully regained consciousness, and her cultivation level had returned to the Foundation Establishment Stage. Overjoyed, she held her son and wept with gratitude, repeatedly thanking Xi Yue for saving her life.

Xi Yue was quite pleased as well, noticing that the heat from her pagoda fruit had intensified. She wondered if it was because the Bai Family had received the news of their grandson’s birth, which seemed to have strengthened their gratitude.

Sure enough, Bai Yingfan was acting just like any doting father, circling his son and occasionally planting kisses on his tiny cheeks. He proudly declared, “I’ve just sent an image to my parents using the recording stone. They, along with the grandparents, are overjoyed and can’t stop praising how adorable our little one is. Of course, they should know whose son this is. How could he not be adorable?”

Lin Peiyun couldn’t help but laugh at his silly antics, but the thought of their son’s exceptional talent brought a sweet smile to her face.
