"These guys are really treacherous, even using poison. The knife that person used earlier was poisoned, and judging by how quickly the poison is taking effect, it must be a potent one." Xiao Yifei hurriedly helped Muyun treat the wound while analyzing the symptoms of the poisoning.

"This is a poison that causes blood necrosis. Your blackened blood is because the poison has destroyed the red blood cells. If the toxin in your blood isn't cleared quickly, you'll be dead within half an hour." Xiao Yifei said, his face somewhat grim.

"Half an hour? That doesn't sound challenging enough for you." Muyun smiled as he spoke. Despite speaking weakly, it still made Xiao Yifei twitch his nose.

"Alright, stop being stubborn at a time like this. I've dealt with this type of poison before, but you need to cooperate with me, or no doctor can guarantee a cure for everything." Xiao Yifei said sternly.

"Alright, I'll listen to Dr. Xiao." Muyun said as he slowly closed his eyes. The immense pain he was enduring left him without the strength to say another word.

"Focus on using your inner strength to protect your heart and try to slow the flow of blood. Leave the rest to me." Xiao Yifei said as he fished out a few silver needles from his belongings, handling them as tenderly as if they were his own children, having been with him most of his life.

"This time, my friend's life depends on you." Xiao Yifei said softly.

With that, he forcefully inserted the first needle into Muyun's body, targeting the acupoints: Quchi, Sanyinjiao, Zhongwan, Neiguan, and Zu San Li. One by one, Xiao Yifei inserted the silver needles into Muyun's points in sequence.

Having treated many patients and performed acupuncture on many, Muyun's blood flow gave Xiao Yifei a unique feeling. His acupoints were resilient and even seemed spiritual, unlike others who would encounter resistance during acupuncture due to the body's natural rejection response.

However, Muyun's acupoints, although strong, seemed to usher in the silver needles, allowing Xiao Yifei to insert them easily and penetrate more deeply, thereby enhancing the treatment's effect.

"Tsk tsk tsk, if everyone's body in the world were like yours, many illnesses might just vanish." Xiao Yifei smiled lightly.

After about five minutes, Xiao Yifei pulled out a few silver needles, noticing the tips were stained black and still vibrating slightly.

"Oh, so that's it, it's a mixed poison; simply using silver needles won't suffice." Xiao Yifei said, looking at the needles. "Thanks for the reminder."

Saying this, Xiao Yifei pulled out a small brocade bag from his pocket and took out something that looked like a squid tentacle.

"Hehe, Musuzi is quite effective against this poison. It's a pity I lack inner strength and can't force the medicine into his body. I can only grind it into powder and apply it to the wound for it to be absorbed."

Xiao Yifei quickly ground the Musuzi into powder and applied it to Muyun's wound.

About ten minutes later, Xiao Yifei removed another silver needle, seeing that the black strands on it were much lighter and dispersed upon contact with air.

"Fifteen minutes, it seems thirty minutes was quite lenient." Xiao Yifei thought with a smile.

After finishing these procedures, Xiao Yifei wrote a prescription for Muyun's recuperation and prepared to hand it to the Mu Residence for his care.

Just then, the guard leader returned with a group of people. Xiao Yifei took one look and knew they hadn't captured the assassins.

"Mr. Xiao, what happened to Young Master Mu?" The guard leader was startled to see Muyun lying on the ground. He was fine earlier, so why was he like this now?

"Oh, he was poisoned and hasn't woken up yet." Xiao Yifei replied.

"What? Young Master Muyun was poisoned? Then how can he wake up? If we don't rush him to the hospital, waiting here will be the end of him!" The guard leader said as he tried to carry Muyun to the hospital.

"If you don't want him dead, you'd better not move him." Xiao Yifei said slowly, considering the guard leader a complete fool.

"Don't let me move him? Let him wait here to die?" The guard leader was also furious, speaking as he was about to push Xiao Yifei aside.

"I told you not to move him, didn't you hear? Xiao Yifei's friend said so." Suddenly, the authoritative voice of an elder chimed in.

Xiao Yifei's lips curled slightly. He thought, finally, the old man came. If he hadn't shown up, his grandson might have ended up in his people's hands. Without his inner strength now, he wouldn't be able to stop the guard leader.

"Family Head, but if we don't take Muyun to the hospital, what's staying here for?" Slightly weaker in tone, the guard leader tentatively asked.

"Don't worry about that. Yun'er's poison has already been handled by this young friend. Now he just needs to lie here and recover on his own."

"What? You say this kid has taken care of Young Master Muyun's poison? Just him? Please don't joke about Young Master Muyun's life." The leader said anxiously.

"Hmph, who's joking with Yun'er's life here? Can't even guard a yard in the vast Mu Residence; you can stop being the guard leader now." The Family Head coldly snorted, "All of you, go back. We'll settle accounts once Yun'er is better."

The guard leader swallowed. It looked like his time as the guard leader was up.

"Alright, all of you go quickly and don't disturb Yun'er's rest." The Family Head stomped his foot.

"Yes!" They responded in unison.

"Young friend Xiao Yifei, thank you so much this time; if it weren't for you, Yun'er would have been in real danger." The Mu Residence Head thanked him.

"Don't mention it, Muyun is my friend, saving him is what I should do, plus I am fundamentally a doctor, benevolence is a doctor's trait, even if I didn't know him, I would still have saved him." Xiao Yifei said.

"Such a benevolent doctor, Yun'er is fortunate to have such a close friend. My eyes haven't failed me either, haha." The elder suddenly laughed, seeing Xiao Yifei's arrival add several chips to their plan.

"Come with me; I believe you are ready to learn the core secrets of Mu Residence." The elder said slowly.

Though Xiao Yifei was filled with curiosity upon hearing the Mu Residence's head speak, his rationality cautioned him not to agree too swiftly.

"Isn't that inappropriate? After all, this is your secret, and I'm essentially an outsider. Besides, to be honest with you, I've lost my skills now, and how much help I can be in the future is uncertain. Don't large families like yours prefer low-risk over high-reward activities?" Xiao Yifei asked calmly.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you're really a remarkable young man. If these words were from anyone else, I'd consider them arrogant, but you've said it in a way I find hard to refute. Let me put it this way, I'm even willing to swallow my pride to recruit you; as for your concerns over losing your skills, don't worry. With your intelligence and medical skill, you're more than welcome at Mu Residence." The Mu Residence Head said.

"Is that so? I roughly understand the goal of your plan, and as long as it benefits the country, even if you didn't recruit me, I'd find a way to join. But if what you're doing is contrary to what I imagined, then I'm sorry, I'll withdraw immediately."
