Lilia's words were not groundless. Although Lin You's condition was serious, it was not unsolvable. During the long years of the Star Journey, Lilia had learned a lot of knowledge. She was confident that she could heal Lin You's leg.

Lin You was shocked by Lilia's words, and his heart was moved. Over the years, his relatives and friends have searched for medical masters all over the continent and the stars, but they were all told that there was no cure. Repeated disappointments made him gradually accept the reality. Now the person in front of him claimed that he could heal his leg. He shouldn't believe it, but seeing Lilia's sincere eyes, he couldn't help but have hope. Maybe...

His thin body trembled uncontrollably, and his voice trembled as well, "Are you serious?"

"Fortunately, your condition is not hopeless yet. The combination of herbs and acupuncture has a 70% chance of cure. However... the treatment process will be extremely severe." Li Li explained honestly.

70%? 70%! Ling You's breathing became rapid. Compared with the hopeless verdict given by those doctors, this probability was as far away as a miracle. What was the pain? For two years, he had already been drowned in endless pain.

He clenched the armrests of the wheelchair with both hands, his knuckles turning white from the excessive force. "As long as I can regain the mobility of my legs, I am willing to endure any pain!"

"Well, I will write you a prescription first. Some of the medicinal materials are quite rare, so you need to collect them all as soon as possible. As for the spiritual needles, I don't have any suitable ones at the moment. You need to find someone to order a set. I will tell you the specific size. It is best to use alchemical gold needles as the material."

Huang Shiping, the master of divine acupuncture, explained: "The magic of the golden needle is threefold: its nature is pure, so it does no harm to the skin; its texture is soft, so it does not hurt when inserted into the acupuncture points; and its toughness and durability, so it will not be damaged for many years."

Li Li stated her needs one by one, and Ling You agreed to them one by one. He was like a drowning man who had grabbed the last life-saving piece of driftwood.

"I am not from the capital. I am only here to handle some business. Contact me after you have gathered all the herbs. I am studying mystical arts in the academy in Lancheng and rarely visit the riverside. It would be best if you come to me in person."

"I will go to Lancheng." Ling You replied without hesitation.

After exchanging contact information, Li Li passed the prescription to Ling You. Seeing that it was getting late, she said goodbye. As Ling You was unable to move, he asked his assistant to escort Li Li back to the hotel.

As night fell, the door of the exhibition hall was closed, and only the faint wall lamp flickered. Ling You stared at his "Waiting" in front of the silent painting for a long time, and there seemed to be tears in the corners of his eyes. Perhaps... he really waited for a turning point.

The room Li Li booked was the royal suite on the top floor of "Jinyuan". At this moment, she not only had Bai Ye's two million gold coins, but also the thank-you gift from the Lian family. She had no worries about money. She never treated herself badly and enjoyed herself to the fullest when she should.

Although the price is high, it is worth it. Li Li finished washing up, took a comfortable bath, sorted out the files needed for tomorrow, and prepared to go to bed.

Late at night, the whole city was immersed in a deep sleep, so quiet that it made people feel uneasy. "Click." The inaudible sound startled Li Li, who should have been sleeping soundly. In the ten years in prison, she had honed her keen intuition like a beast.

Her ears moved quietly. Although the room was silent, her extraordinary hearing clearly captured another person's breathing!

Someone! Without time to think, Li Li carefully lifted the quilt, walked quietly and barefoot to the darkest corner of the room, holding her breath and waiting.

The man in black blended into the darkness like ink. The moonlight fell through the gap in the curtains. Li Li could only vaguely see a silhouette. The big bed was slightly bulging, as if someone had buried his face in the quilt. The man in black did not think much about it and slowly raised one hand. It turned out to be a mysterious staff! With a slight movement of his fingers, he triggered the spell silently...

"Bang!" The staff loaded with netherworld magic made a low humming sound, and feathers flew off...

Silence, mysterious silence, without any foreboding sound or unusual bloodstains, the man approached step by step, lifted the curtain, but there was nothing! Where did the person go?

Not good! The visitor's heart was filled with alarm and he turned around quickly, but the river had already passed, the sound of breaking wind was piercing, and a chair made of magic wood struck his head like thunder.

"Bang..." As if with the power of thousands of mountains, when his consciousness dissipated, he caught a glimpse of the person coming. Wait, why did he feel so out of place?

Lilia threw away the broken chair in her hand and lit the magic crystal lamp. The person lying on the ground was already unconscious, with a mask covering his face, so her true appearance could not be seen. She pulled off the mask without hesitation and shook her head. What era is this? There are still people imitating ancient shadow assassins!

Under the mask was a featureless face, and walking on the streets of the fantasy world would instantly make people forget her. Lilia thought silently, who on earth would hire a killer with a large sum of money to kill her?

Not really. Lilia thought back to the people she had come into contact with since her return. At most, they had some slight resentment, but no deep hatred. As for Lianna, Lilia had never considered how she could possibly summon an assassin with a gun.

After thinking about it for a long time, Lilia decided not to bother about it anymore. She searched the room for a magic rope and tied the man up tightly. She was planning to move him aside and deal with him tomorrow.

"Knock, knock, knock..." The sound of knocking on the door echoed. It was already late at night. Who could this Lord Jiang be?

Lilia picked up the moon blade dagger on the coffee table, hid it in her sleeve, with the blade facing outward, and walked slowly towards the door. Through the peephole, she saw a man in a magic dress standing respectfully.

"Who is it?" After the man knocked a few more times, Lilia asked lazily, her voice full of boredom, as if she had just been awakened from a dream and nothing had happened.

The person outside the door was slightly startled when he heard the woman's voice. "Miss, is there an accident? I'm a neighbor. I seemed to have heard some noise just now. Do you need help?"

What normal person would listen to what's happening next door late at night!

Lilia was unsure about the identity of the visitor. He could be an accomplice or an enemy. Why did he refuse to let her sleep in such a quiet night?

Let’s solve them together!

Lilia opened the door and the man outside was startled, obviously not expecting it to be a young female magician. He thought he guessed wrong and was about to apologize.

The tightly closed door opposite quietly opened, revealing traces of someone who had been peeping behind the door. A tall figure walked out. The man was nearly two meters tall, handsome as a god, with an amazing aura, giving people a strong sense of pressure.

Lilia was startled, a hint of doubt flashed across her eyes, and her body relaxed. The man did not miss her instantaneous change.

"Miss Lilia, I didn't expect it to be you." The man's low and charming voice sounded, pointing directly to Lilia's identity, and a look made the man next to Lilia retreat.

"I saw you in Blue City that time. You saved Jiang Cheng and Ryan." Worried that the girl would not believe him, he brought up the past to disarm her and described in detail the scene in Blue City at that time.

Lilia thought about it for a moment, but to no avail.

"Master Jiang Wu, you are awake so late at night, are you appreciating the moon?" Lilia asked in a relaxed and joking tone.

Unexpectedly, Lilia revealed the man's identity as soon as she opened her mouth. He was Jiangnan, the ruler of the Jiang family in Jingyu.

Jiangnan’s eyes are as deep as a whirlpool, calm and peaceful.

"Do you know me?" Jiangnan's emotions remained stable...

There was mystery in Lilith's smile. "Oh, who doesn't know about the prominent Lord Jiang in the capital?"

Many people know Jiangnan, but not everyone is the person Lilith, who was born in a remote countryside, should know. Jiangnan recalls Lilith's files and finds that for the first time, he cannot see through a person's mind.

"How about coming in and resting for a while?" Jiangnan somehow made the invitation.

Jiang Liu who was standing by glanced at him, feeling very confused. Was it really okay to invite a young girl into the room so late at night?

"With pleasure." Lilith responded readily.
