His legs had regained sensation from a slight tingling.
Chen Pingping could sense that the damaged tendons in her legs had been repaired, and the bones inside were also growing back.
He originally thought that Chen Qingfeng had only thought of treating his leg injury on a whim.
Unexpectedly, a miracle actually occurred under Chen Pingping's medication and acupuncture treatment.
Seeing this, Chen Qingfeng didn't hesitate and immediately began to perform acupuncture on Chen Pingping.
"Feng'er, did you go to the palace last night?"
Suddenly, Chen Pingping asked this question.
Before Chen Qingfeng arrived, Shadow reported some information to him.
Assassins broke into the palace last night.
That assassin was incredibly skilled; it was rumored that he possessed the strength of a grandmaster.
Upon learning this news, Chen Pingping immediately thought of Chen Qingfeng.
Upon hearing Chen Pingping's question, Chen Qingfeng pretended not to hear and continued to apply acupuncture to Chen Pingping's leg injury.
Seeing this, Chen Pingping smiled calmly and said again:
"The palace is fraught with danger, and many of these dangers are unseen."
"If Feng'er wants to do something..."
"There's no need to rush; we can proceed gradually!"
Chen Qingfeng paused, glanced at Chen Pingping, and replied meaningfully:
"Understood, Godfather!"
After that, Chen Pingping did not say anything more about the assassin.
A short while later, Chen Qingfeng finished administering acupuncture to Chen Pingping, put away the silver needles, stood up, clapped his hands, and said:
"It's done!"
"Godfather, try standing up!"
Upon hearing Chen Qingfeng's words, Chen Pingping's heart trembled.
These seemingly simple words stirred up a huge wave in his heart.
He lost both legs while saving Emperor Qing.
Since then, he has been confined to a wheelchair.
After a brief pause, Chen Pingping took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in her heart.
He stretched out his hands and placed them on either side of the wheelchair.
Then, supporting himself with his hands, he slowly stood up.
Seeing this, Chen Qingfeng smiled and said:
"Godfather, don't use your hands, use your feet!"
As he spoke, Chen Qingfeng glanced at Chen Pingping's feet.
It's clear that Chen Pingping was able to stand up entirely by supporting himself with his hands.
Chen Pingping looked slightly embarrassed and slowly let go of the armrests of the wheelchair.
Once his hands were completely removed, all of his body weight was concentrated on his legs.
Chen Pingping did not fall over; she could clearly feel the weight on her feet.
At the same time, the long-lost sense of being grounded filled Chen Pingping with joy.
"I...I'm standing up?"
He muttered something involuntarily, his face full of disbelief.
Not far away, Shadow was also shocked after witnessing this scene.
"The dean actually got back up?"
"Young master's skill in using silver needles to heal people is truly unparalleled!"
Shadow secretly admired him, and his admiration for Chen Qingfeng grew even stronger.
It should be noted that he was aware of Chen Qingfeng's martial arts prowess.
At such a young age, he had already reached the level of a grandmaster.
It can be said that there is no one like it before or since!
That's not all; what's more, Chen Qingfeng also possesses such superb medical skills, which makes Shadow admire him immensely.
Seeing Chen Pingping's delighted expression, Chen Qingfeng remained calm and composed, smiling faintly as he said:
"Godfather, don't just stand there."
"You can try taking a couple of steps!"
Upon hearing what Chen Qingfeng said, Chen Pingping immediately tensed up, and even her breathing became somewhat rapid.
He paused for a moment, let out a long sigh, and then tried to take a step forward.
Although she stumbled and almost fell, Chen Pingping still took that step.
After regaining his balance, Chen Pingping burst into laughter:
"Ha ha!"
"I...I, Chen Pingping, can walk again."
As he laughed, he couldn't help but sigh:
"I haven't walked in so long that I've almost forgotten how to walk."
Then, Chen Pingping excitedly walked around the yard twice.
After standing still, he instinctively looked towards Chen Qingfeng:
"Feng'er!"
"We really owe you a lot this time."
"Without your treatment, my useless legs would truly remain useless."
Chen Qingfeng smiled calmly and said:
"Father, what are you saying? This is all what Feng'er should do!"
"By the way, Godfather, if there's nothing else, Feng'er will head back now."
After saying that, Chen Qingfeng turned to leave.
"Wait!"
Chen Pingping spoke up to stop them.
Chen Qingfeng paused, turned to look at Chen Pingping, and said, puzzled:
"Does Godfather have any further instructions?"
Chen Pingping smiled meaningfully and said:
"It's not really an order, I just wanted to ask you for something, Feng'er."
"Ask for it?"
Chen Qingfeng was surprised and replied:
"Why is my godfather being so polite to me now?"
"If Feng'er has it and Godfather wants it, Feng'er will give it to him."
Upon hearing Chen Qingfeng's reply, Chen Pingping couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Ha ha!"
Then, he got up and walked over to Chen Qingfeng:
"Give me some of the bewitching poison you refined earlier."
Without much thought, Chen Qingfeng took out a Bewitching Poison Pill from his pocket and handed it to Chen Pingping.
"Godfather, this Bewitching Poison Pill can be ground into powder and used. If added to wine or water, it will be colorless and tasteless."
"The dosage must be well controlled. If you want the toxicity to take longer to take effect, then add more."
Chen Pingping nodded.
I originally thought Chen Qingfeng would ask him why he wanted the Fire Poison.
Unexpectedly, Chen Qingfeng didn't mention it at all.
"Feng'er, aren't you even going to ask me why I need this?"
Chen Qingfeng smiled slightly and replied:
"It's not appropriate for Feng'er to interfere in what his godfather is doing."
"By the way, do you need the antidote?"
Chen Pingping shook his head and replied meaningfully:
"Some things are better left unsolved."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingfeng had already guessed some of the truth.
Chen Pingping's use of the fire poison was likely aimed at the royal family.
Without giving it much thought, he said goodbye and left.
……
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, several days have passed.
During this period, the most important event in Kyoto was the arrival of the Northern Qi delegation.
