Ye Tian nodded, then pointed a finger. The old lady opened her mouth, and he dropped the pill in, then instructed her to swallow it.
Once the pill was in her stomach, Ye Tian took out his golden needles and used the medicinal power to prolong the elder’s life.
An hour later, Ye Tian withdrew his needles. The old madam’s once sallow and dark complexion had turned rosy.
Gong Tianli had not dared to speak. Now, he finally asked, "Sir, how is she?"
Ye Tian smiled and said, "Why don't you wake her up?"
Gong Tianli was overjoyed. He quickly knelt by the bedside and softly called out, "Mom!"
The old lady slowly opened her eyes and said, "Third son, is this home?"
Gong Tianli quickly replied, "Yes, it's our old home. You were sick, so I brought you here to take care of you."
The old lady tried to get up, and Gong Tianli quickly helped her to sit up.
Then, she saw Ye Tian and smiled, "Who is this young man?"
The old lady felt quite fond of Ye Tian as soon as she saw him and immediately asked.
Ye Tian smiled and said, "Grandma, I'm a doctor invited by Mr. Xi. I'm the one who cured your illness."
"Really?" The old lady took his hand and said, "Young man, you are truly capable, handsome, and your medical skills are excellent. How old are you this year?"
Upon hearing his mother ask this, Gong Tianli felt a sense of foreboding and quickly gave Ye Tian a meaningful look.
Ye Tian found it strange and thought, "Why is he winking at me? What's wrong with me chatting with the old lady?"
He then smiled and said, "Grandma, I'm twenty-five."
The old lady was very happy. "Twenty-five, that's perfect. My granddaughter is twenty-two this year. Young man, do you have a girlfriend?"
Ye Tian immediately understood why Gong Tianli had been winking at him. He quickly replied, "Grandma, I'm already engaged."
The old lady was immediately very disappointed and sighed, "Engaged, huh? That's a shame."
Gong Tianli chatted with the old lady for a few more sentences and then invited Ye Tian to the living room to talk.
"Sir, I apologize. I have a daughter, and my mother dotes on her, worrying about her marriage day and night. In reality, she's still studying, and I'm not in any hurry."
Ye Tian smiled and said, "Elderly people, it's understandable that they worry."
Gong Tianli continued, "Sir, you used a pill just now. This pill could cure my mother, so it must be very precious. Gong Tianli has no way to repay you. If you have any requests, please just ask. As long as I, Gong Tianli, can fulfill them, I will do my utmost."
Ye Tian said calmly, "I have no requests. The old lady is fine now, and I should be going."
Gong Tianli became a little anxious and quickly said, "Sir, you must stay for a few more days so that Tianli can show his gratitude."
Ye Tian waved his hand. "If fate allows, we will meet again."
Ye Tian insisted on leaving, and Gong Tianli could not keep him. He could only personally escort him out.
As they came out, Zhang Longsheng deliberately lagged a few steps behind. He smiled and said, "Brother Xi, you are quite lucky to have our leader personally treat your mother."
Gong Tianli was taken aback and asked, "Leader?"
Zhang Longsheng replied, "Mr. Ye is the new leader of the Heavenly Alliance, and I have already joined the Heavenly Alliance. By the way, the Tang Sect in Shu has also willingly rejoined the Heavenly Alliance."
Gong Tianli was greatly shocked. The Tang Sect's influence was above his, and the King of the Southwest was also stronger than him. If these two had joined the Heavenly Alliance, wouldn't he be caught between them if he didn't join? Moreover, Ye Tian, with his benevolent medical practice, seemed like a trustworthy person.
Gong Tianli was a man of ambition. He could make decisions on momentous matters in an instant. He suddenly laughed heartily and said, "Sir, are you truly the leader of the Heavenly Alliance?"
Ye Tian stopped and smiled, "Brother Zhang, why do you need to say more?"
Zhang Longsheng said, "Leader, your identity will be known to the world sooner or later, so it doesn't matter if I say it or not."
Gong Tianli smiled and said, "Sir, does Gong Tianli have the qualifications to join the Heavenly Alliance?"
