Li Yun’s condition had now basically stabilized and no longer required intensive treatment, so he was placed in a special - care ward in the hospital. After Zhang Qiang showed his ID, he led Ye Fei to the outside of the ward.
Making a gesture for Ye Fei to keep quiet, Zhang Qiang gently pushed open the ward door and walked in with Ye Fei. Ye Fei took a general look around.
The facilities in this ward were quite good. In the over - forty - square - meter room, besides the bed in the middle, there were several sets of sofas and coffee tables for receiving guests around.
A TV as large as half a wall was hanging on the wall.
Presumably, these were for the in - patients to receive guests and keep up with current affairs, as those who could be admitted here were all high - ranking military officers, and it was inevitable that they might have to work in the ward sometimes.
A girl in a nurse’s uniform was sitting on the sofa beside, lying on it and writing something.
One couldn’t see her face from the back, but just the exquisite curves of her back, combined with that alluring nurse’s uniform, were enough to stir one’s emotions.
"Miao Xin, how is Lao Li?" Zhang Qiang asked in a low voice.
It was not until Zhang Qiang spoke that the young nurse realized there were people in the ward. She quickly turned around.
As she did so, a delicate and refined face appeared in front of Ye Fei, making him secretly amazed. He didn’t expect there to be such a young nurse in the military district hospital.
Although she was still a bit inferior to the women in his family, she was still a rare and stunning beauty outside.
"Reporting to Captain Zhang, Captain Li just had something to eat and is now asleep," the young nurse reported.
Even though it was a report, her voice was still soft and very pleasant to hear. As she spoke, she curiously sized up Ye Fei standing behind Zhang Qiang.
At this moment, Ye Fei wasn’t really in the mood to admire the beauty in front of him because his gaze was fixed on Li Yun, who was asleep.
Li Yun was sleeping quite soundly, but his slightly pale and gaunt face made Ye Fei feel guilty again. He secretly decided not to delay any longer and would help him recover from his injuries as soon as he woke up.
Afraid of waking Li Yun, Zhang Qiang pointed to the outside and whispered, "Let’s go outside and talk."
Ye Fei and the young nurse both nodded and followed Zhang Qiang out of Li Yun’s ward and into a lounge next door.
Only then did Zhang Qiang introduce them to each other.
"Ye Fei, this is Miao Xin, the assistant of Doctor Dongfang in our military district hospital. She has learned medicine directly from Doctor Dongfang, so don’t think of her as an ordinary nurse. Your aunt personally borrowed her to take care of Lao Li this time.Miao Xin, this is Ye Fei, an off - roster member of our special forces."
"Hello," Ye Fei said with a faint smile to Miao Xin.
He was quite familiar with Doctor Dongfang. Her full name was Dongfang Ruolan. She was the chief physician of the military district hospital, a peerless beauty whose charm was comparable to that of the three sisters of the Liu family.
Moreover, she was a classmate of his mother, Liu Yiru, and had a good relationship with the three sisters of the Liu family.
Especially with Liu Yiru, they were good friends who could talk about anything. However, due to her busy work, she rarely came to the Liu family’s villa to play.
Ye Fei had basically grown up under her watch, but he didn’t expect her to have such a beautiful young assistant.
Compared with Ye Fei’s calmness, Miao Xin’s eyes showed admiration when she heard his name.
Since she had been with Dongfang Ruolan since childhood and could be considered a part of the "Liu - supporting faction," the special forces members didn’t avoid her when they talked about Ye Fei with Li Yun yesterday.
This was quite different from what she had heard about Ye Fei before. As an eighteen - or nineteen - year - old girl, it was the age when she admired heroes, and Ye Fei’s transformation from a good - for - nothing to a hero was full of a legendary flavor.
How could it not arouse her curiosity?
Although she was a bit excited inside, due to her shy nature, Miao Xin didn’t show it too much. She also smiled slightly and said, "Hello. I’ve often heard my godmother... Oh no, I mean Doctor Dongfang talk about you."
Although Miao Xin corrected herself in time, Ye Fei still remembered her identity. His mother had told him that his Aunt Dongfang, who came from an ancient medical family, had dedicated half of her life to the medical cause.
Although Miao Xin corrected herself in time, Ye Fei recalled her identity.
As his mother had told him, his Aunt Dongfang, who hailed from an ancient medical family, had dedicated half her life to the medical cause and hadn’t even had a boyfriend yet.
However, over a decade ago, during a free medical consultation at an orphanage, she took in a spiritually - gifted goddaughter who could inherit her medical skills. Presumably, this stunning young nurse in front of him was that very girl.
Actually, when Zhang Qiang mentioned that Miao Xin had received the true teachings of Dongfang Ruolan, Ye Fei should have made the connection.
But the nurse’s uniform Miao Xin was wearing when they first met made him assume she was just an ordinary young nurse, so he didn’t think in that direction.
"So, you’re Aunt Dongfang’s goddaughter, sister.
Aunt Dongfang often talks about you," Ye Fei said, a bit embarrassed. "I just didn’t realize it before. Please don’t be mad at me, sister."
Miao Xin gently shook her head and smiled.
"It’s not your fault. We’ve never met before. If Uncle Zhang hadn’t introduced you, I wouldn’t have recognized you either."
"Yeah, it’s all Aunt Dongfang’s fault. She has such a beautiful sister at home but hides you away from me," Ye Fei said with a chuckle.
"If I’d known you were this beautiful earlier, I’d have pestered her to let me meet you no matter what."
Ye Fei’s words of praise made Miao Xin blush, and she felt a little sweet inside. It wasn’t that she had developed feelings for Ye Fei.
Although she was three years older than him, since she was taken from the orphanage by Dongfang Ruolan at the age of six and had been living in the military camp ever since, she had never had the chance to interact with boys her age, let alone receive such blatant compliments.
Miao Xin’s shy appearance also made Ye Fei’s heart skip a beat.
When he complimented her just now, he didn’t have any ulterior motives. He just wanted to make her happy. It was simply following the current popular trend of calling every woman "beauty" and every man "handsome."
But such an ordinary compliment made Miao Xin so shy. Ye Fei had never met such a special girl before.
Although he really wanted to keep admiring Miao Xin’s shy and cute look, Ye Fei knew the principle of "knowing when to stop." Facing such a shy girl, if he continued to say some inappropriate things, he might scare her away.
"Sister Xin, how is Uncle Li’s health now?" Not wanting to scare Miao Xin, Ye Fei naturally shifted the topic to Li Yun and also naturally changed his way of addressing her to a more intimate one.
Sure enough, Ye Fei’s topic - shifting made Miao Xin secretly heave a sigh of relief.

Although she really liked to hear Ye Fei’s praise, with Zhang Qiang still around, she felt embarrassed. As for Ye Fei calling her Sister Xin, she didn’t really mind. Moreover, being addressed so intimately by a hero made her feel a little proud.
"Uncle Zhang’s neck nerves were damaged by a bullet. With current medical technology, there’s no way to reconnect them," Miao Xin said, her expression a bit gloomy. "He’ll probably be paralyzed from now on, unless we can find the legendary Tendon-Connecting and Pulse-Continuing pills."
"Tendon-Connecting and Pulse-Continuing pills? Isn’t that for restoring people with severed meridians? Is it also useful for Uncle Li?" Ye Fei had also heard of this medicine.
In ancient times when martial arts were popular, there were many extraordinary people in the martial world, and there were also many medical experts dedicated to serving them.
Dongfang Ruolan’s family was one such family and was quite famous in ancient times. However, it had declined now, and especially in her generation, she was the only remaining heir.
"Of course it’s useful," Miao Xin said.
"The so - called nerves are just a Western medical term. In fact, they are meridians. You should know this."
Ye Fei was taken aback and then forced a smile.
Due to his congenital meridian blockage, his body was extremely weak, so this had become his sore point.
Moreover, since he couldn’t practice the internal skills of the Liu family, he had never studied meridians at all.
Although his body was in good condition now, most of his meridians were still unopened, so naturally, he didn’t know these things.
As Dongfang Ruolan’s adopted daughter, Miao Xin naturally knew about Ye Fei’s situation.
After hearing about his deeds, she thought he was all right now. But seeing the bitter smile on his face, she realized that wasn’t the case at all. She felt extremely apologetic and quickly said, "Sorry, I..."
"I’m fine, sister. Don’t worry about it." Ye Fei waved his hand. Naturally, he wouldn’t be bothered by this anymore.
Then he continued, "But as far as I know, this Tongjin Xumai Dan has been lost for hundreds of years. Is it still possible to find it now?"
Seeing that Ye Fei really didn’t seem to care, Miao Xin finally let out a sigh of relief. She shook her head and said, "It’s probably impossible. Even if there are some remaining pills, they’re probably kept in some reclusive martial arts families. It’s absolutely impossible to find them. Godmother just wants to try to develop it again."
Ye Fei hadn’t expected Dongfang Ruolan to have such lofty aspirations. He couldn’t help but feel a sense of respect for her.
Although his own device had the same effect and could even enhance one’s strength, its side - effects were quite significant. In comparison, this pill without any side - effects was much better.
Zhang Qiang had never practiced any internal martial arts skills, so he was a bit confused by what Ye Fei and Miao Xin were talking about regarding meridians and pills.
He then changed the subject and said, "Ye Fei, don’t you have a way to cure Li? Let’s go and see if he’s awake now so that we can help him recover earlier."
"Ah? You have a way to cure Uncle Li?"
Before Ye Fei could say anything, Miao Xin exclaimed. She was quite familiar with Zhang Qiang and knew he wasn’t the kind of person who would talk nonsense.
If he said Ye Fei had a way, he must have known something. She couldn’t help but be extremely surprised because even Dongfang Ruolan didn’t have a solution for Li Yun’s injury for the time being. Why was Ye Fei so confident?
"I can only give it a try. I can’t guarantee the result yet." Ye Fei said with a faint smile. He wasn’t sure if his Recovery Pills would work on Li Yun.
After hearing that Dongfang Ruolan was trying to develop the Tendon-Connecting and Pulse-Continuing pills, he decided not to use his device to treat Li Yun.
