Fortunately, her worst fears did not come true.
Her father was still fast asleep and had not been taken away by Jin Renfeng.
They were not harmed by the people left behind at the villa.
Looking at her father, Dongfang Huaizhu, who had experienced so much in just half a day, couldn't help but feel her eyes well up with tears.
If she could, she really wanted to go back to that carefree time, start cultivating properly from scratch, and strive to become stronger.
But now, all of this can only be achieved through external forces.
Dongfang Huaizhu gently stroked her father's wrinkled, aged face, her eyes filled with sorrow.
After a while, she got up and came to Lin Yu and the others, looking at Cuiyu Xiaotan with a hopeful expression.
"I've heard that the leech demon clan is renowned for its medical skills. I wonder if you could examine my father? I will certainly not be stingy with the payment."
She could no longer stay at Shenhuoshan Manor; gold, silver, and jewels—those material possessions—were of no use to her anymore.
If it can alleviate my father's condition, then it's all worth it.

Chapter 116 Departure
Cuiyu Xiaotan did not object to the suggestion.
But after she tiptoed and looked at Dongfang Guyue on the hospital bed, she shook her head.
“It’s not that I’m unwilling to help with the treatment, but he’s already critically ill and the poison has penetrated deep into his bones. With my medical skills, there’s nothing I can do.”
"If you want to cure him, you have to bring him to our village and let the village chief do it."
Cuiyu Xiaotan's words made Dongfang Huaizhu's heart sink. He thought of how his father had been secretly poisoned by Jin Renfeng for so many years, and how deeply the poison had accumulated.
The hatred he felt for Jin Renfeng deepened even further.
Having calmed down a bit, Dongfang Huaizhu made up her mind. She approached Lin Yu, bowed, and said, "Mr. Lin, would you mind taking us back to Tushan with you?"
The only way to save her father was to go to Tushan, and the only way to ensure her and Qin Lan's safety was to follow Lin Yu.
Now, Dongfang Huaizhu can only hope that the allure of the Pure Yang Flame is strong enough for Lin Yu to agree to all these troublesome things.
Lin Yu did not agree immediately. Instead, he walked past Dongfang Huaizhu to the bedside, looked at Dongfang Guyue on the bed, and gently placed his hand on the other's wrist.
Dongfang Huaizhu was tense for a moment, but seeing that Lin Yu did not make any other moves, she relaxed a little.
She had far too little time to get to know Lin Yu.
Making this choice is nothing short of gambling.
It's normal to have some worries.
Silently sensing the pulse of Dongfeng Guyue, it was indeed as his face showed: he was terminally ill, and the long-term toxins had eroded his bones and were now gradually invading his internal organs.
If things continue like this, even if Jin Renfeng doesn't make a move, Dongfang Guyue won't last long, within half a year.
There's really no good way to completely remove these toxins except for Cui Yuling. The leech demon clan's control over blood allows them to precisely control the blood to carry out the toxins and then remove them.
Lin Yu held Dongfang Guyue's hand and slowly channeled his inner energy into her body, being as careful as possible to prevent it from conflicting with her magical power.
The current Dongfang Guyue is like a piece of porcelain covered in cracks; the slightest touch could kill her.
The internal energy spreads gradually within the body.
Lin Yu didn't intend to treat anything; he simply used his internal energy to protect the patient's internal organs.
He takes money from people and then helps them avoid trouble.
He still has that much professional ethics, even if it's just for money.
After a short while, Lin Yu slowly withdrew his hand.
"I have temporarily protected his internal organs, and the toxins will not have any further impact on his body in the short term."
"As for the rest, you can find the Hiru Demon Clan yourself after you go to Tushan."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Huaizhu's eyes lit up with surprise, and she thanked him repeatedly.
"Thank you, Mr. Lin, thank you so much."
Dongfang Qinlan also thanked her sister very sensibly.
Making trouble for Tu Shan Ya Ya and thanking Lin Yu are two completely different things.
Lin Yu waved his hand, "Go pack your things, the consultation fees of the Hirudo clan are not cheap."
The two sisters agreed, telling Lin Yu and the others to do as they pleased, and then went to pack their things.
"Lin Yu, are we really going to take them to Tushan?"
Seeing that the two sisters had walked away, Tu Shan Ya Ya pulled Lin Yu aside and whispered something.
She had felt a bit hot-headed when she heard about Pure Yang Flame, but now that she's calmed down, she realizes that it's really not a good idea.
You must know that this is Dongfang Guyue, who is known as the God of Fire in the Dao Alliance.
This title is truly built upon the lives of countless demons.
It is unknown how many demons were slaughtered before the Demon-Slaying Divine Fire gained its current prestige.
What if such a being, if brought to Tushan, were cured and then went on a killing spree?
"It's alright, I'm here for you, it's not a problem."
Lin Yu smiled and spoke casually.
He knew Dongfang Guyue's situation all too well.
Let alone whether he was a match for me in his prime, even if I cured him, with his critically ill body and advanced age, I don't know how long it would take for him to recover.
At that time, my strength will only increase, and Dongfang Guyue's existence will not be a threat at all.
Having gone through so much, he had long since come to regard Tushan as his home.
How could they possibly invite a wolf into their home?
"Let's go, they'll probably need a while to pack up. Let's go get something to eat first."
Lin Yu said this, gave a greeting, and walked towards the kitchen.
Just moments ago, Tu Shan Ya Ya was filled with worry, but upon hearing that Lin Yu was going to cook, she immediately forgot all her concerns.
Lin Yu is right, he's here for you.
If the sky falls, someone taller will hold it up; it's not her place to worry about it.
Upon arriving in the kitchen, Lin Yu quickly selected some ingredients and began to get busy. Meanwhile, Tu Shan Ya Ya was showing off to Cui Yu Xiao Tan just how good Lin Yu's cooking skills were.
[You are currently using your culinary skills. Cooking skill +4!]
While cooking the ingredients, Lin Yu thought about Feng Qi.
I came out this time to look for Feng Qi, but after going around in circles, I didn't see a trace of Feng Qi at all.
Instead, it caused a lot of messy and chaotic things.
Not to mention the Jadeite Little Ephemeral Flower, now there are also the Huai Bamboo Sisters.
With them by my side, it's impossible to search for Fengqi again; it's just that life is unpredictable.
'I wonder what Feng Qi is doing. There's been absolutely no news of him for so long, and he's not even outside the circle.'
Lin Yu sighed inwardly, already planning that once his strength was enough to completely overwhelm Feng Qi, he would definitely teach this troublesome older sister a lesson.
I ended up running around everywhere, but I didn't get anything out of it.
I tried contacting Fengqi again, but there was still no response.
They simply prepared a few dishes, and the enticing aroma had already made Tu Shan Ya Ya and Cui Yu Xiao Tan, who were standing nearby, drool.
"Come and eat."
Man is made of iron and food is made of steel; even with his current strength, he cannot escape the need to eat.
It's unknown how long it will take to reach the level of fasting.
Just as we were about to pick up our chopsticks, the Huai Zhu sisters arrived with bags and packages.
"Mr. Lin, we've finished packing."
Dongfang Huaizhu, accompanied by Dongfang Qinlan, looked at the group who were preparing to eat and spoke softly.
"Come sit down and have something to eat."
The meal was already prepared, so Lin Yu didn't mind having two more pairs of chopsticks.
Anyway, after leaving Shenhuoshan Manor, I estimate that I won't be able to eat a proper meal for a long time.
Dongfang Huaizhu hesitated for a moment, but ultimately sat down with Dongfang Qinlan.
To be honest, they were really hungry. Just now, when they were at the door, the aroma of the food made their stomachs rumble.
At first, the two of them were a little timid and not very open.
But after tasting Lin Yu's cooking, hunger overcame her pride.
