8: Little sister Yu Qianqian
The five items were quickly selected.
None of the items Yu Xiu chose were for himself; they were all for his parents and younger sister.
Two items were for treating his younger sister's injured leg and repairing her Meridians, while the other three were spiritual materials for healing old injuries and nourishing the body.
"These items you chose are...?"
Principal He's expression turned to one of confusion when he saw the names of the five items.
"For my parents and younger sister."
"My sister fell ill many years ago and couldn't walk.
Our family was poor back then and couldn't afford her medical expenses, so it gradually got delayed."
Yu Xiu chuckled, "Thankfully, with these spiritual materials, my sister can finally stand up and have a chance to see the outside world."
Principal He couldn't help but feel puzzled.
In his opinion, a family that could cultivate a sixteen-year-old Grandmaster must be extraordinary.
But now, listening to Yu Xiu's self-description, it seemed his family's financial situation was different from what he had imagined.
"I have an old friend at the First Hospital; his medical skills are excellent.
I'll contact him later, and you can take your sister to see him."
"Thank you, Principal!"
After thanking him, Yu Xiu and Principal He chatted while drinking tea.
Not long after, someone delivered the five chosen items.
"Principal, I'll be leaving now."
Yu Xiu bid farewell to Principal He, then left the school and headed home.
...
Fuyun Community.
This was a resettlement community, common in every city, belonging to the slums.
Yu Xiu arrived at the bottom of Building 3, looked at the thirty-two-story building in front of him, sighed, and then walked inside.
This community had no elevators; in this High Martial World, electricity was extremely expensive, and slums generally didn't install elevators to save on expenses.
Yu Xiu's family lived on the 26th floor.
The higher the floor, the cheaper it was.
This was also why Yu Qianqian had not been downstairs for ten years since her leg injury.
Click!
Yu Xiu opened the door, and a cautious voice came from inside, "Brother, is that you?"
"Qianqian, it's me."
Upon hearing Yu Xiu's voice, the girl pushed her wheelchair out of the room.
The girl was very thin and pale, but she had delicate features.
Her sickly appearance gave her a certain Lin Daiyu-liketemperament.
"Brother, why are you home now? School isn't over yet!"
"Brother just transferred to No.1 High School today, and my records haven't been transferred yet, so I don't need to attend classes for now.
I'll go in a few days."
"Transferred to No.1 High School?" Yu Qianqian said happily, "Then Brother can see Xiao Wan every day from now on, that's great."
"Brother didn't transfer for her, but to become the top scorer in the National Martial Arts Examination."
"You're lying, Brother clearly likes Xiao Wan; you're just talking about being the top scorer."
"Don't talk nonsense, Brother doesn't like her."
Yu Xiu walked over and dotingly ruffled Yu Qianqian's head, "Brother isn't lying; Brother is now a Great Grandmaster expert, so getting the top scorer in the nation will be very easy."
"And! Brother transferred to No.1 High School today, and the Principal even rewarded Brother with ten million martial warrior yuan; we can move now, move into a big villa."
Yu Qianqian said excitedly, "A big villa! Does that mean Brother won't have to sleep on the floor anymore and can have his own room, and Qianqian can also go out and see the scenery?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiu felt a pang of sadness and nodded heavily, "Not only that, but our home will also have large floor-to-ceiling windows, so Qianqian can sunbathe at home, and she can also plant her favorite flowers and grass in the yard."
"Of course, most importantly, Brother has a way to make Qianqian stand up."
Yu Qianqian froze suddenly, her small body visibly trembling twice.
After a long silence, she looked up, gazing at Yu Xiu with longing, and asked, "Brother, can I really stand up?"
"Of course, Brother brought back some very powerful spiritual materials from school."
"Wait a moment, Brother will process the spiritual materials, and then I'll treat your legs now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Xiu rushed into the kitchen and began to boil the medicine according to the instructions.
Originally, this spiritual material could be eaten raw, but since Yu Qianqian was not yet a Martial Artist, her body's strength was insufficient, so it could only be brewed into a soup for consumption.
About half an hour later.
Yu Xiu came out carrying the medicinal soup.
The brewed soup was like mutton fat, yet not as thick as milk.
"Brother, it smells so good!"
"Of course, it smells good; this is a spiritual material that can repair Meridians after consumption."
Yu Xiu explained, "Once the Meridians in your legs are repaired, we just need to nourish the flesh and blood of your legs, and soon our Qianqian will be able to stand up again."
"Don't dawdle, drink the medicine quickly."
Yu Qianqian nodded and drank it all in one gulp.
"Do you feel anything?"
"I feel a warmth in my throat, like a warm current flowing downwards, and then the warm current is continuously spreading throughout my body."
Yu Qianqian said happily, "Brother, my legs are also warm and very comfortable!"
"This is the repair of Meridians.
After this warm current passes, it will still take some time for absorption before the Meridians can be completely repaired."
Yu Qianqian nodded heavily, as if she could already see the day she would stand up.
In short, if Brother said she could stand up, then she definitely could.
"Brother will take you to a feast!"
"Can I?" Yu Qianqian's face was full of longing, but she was also restraining herself.
"Of course, but for now, Brother will carry you; later, you'll need to walk yourself."
"Later, I'll carry Brother."
Yu Xiu couldn't help but laugh.
He was now in the Grandmaster Realm; his body density was already extraordinary, and his own weight had reached an unprecedented level, so it would be difficult for his younger sister to carry him.
"Let's go out for a feast!"
Yu Xiu carried Yu Qianqian on his back, held the wheelchair with one hand, and descended the stairs as if walking on flat ground.
Along the way, they barely encountered any acquaintances in the community; to be precise, they didn't encounter anyone.
Because it was still early, the residents of the community were all at work.
Only after eight in the evening would people be seen in the community.
"Brother, the air is sweet."
After going downstairs, Yu Qianqian sat in her wheelchair and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Yu Xiu looked at his sister's enjoying expression and also couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"It is indeed sweet."
Yu Xiu pushed the wheelchair, walked out of the community, and didn't take any transportation, but continued pushing it like that, allowing Yu Qianqian to enjoy the scenery.
"Brother, those flowers are so beautiful."
"Brother, that statue is so ugly."
"Brother, that building is so tall."
"..."
Along the way, Yu Qianqian chattered incessantly, finding everything new.
Yu Xiu was not at all impatient, explaining as they walked.
"Brother will buy you ice cream."
"No need, Brother, I don't like it."
"There's no girl who doesn't like ice cream; wait a moment."
Yu Xiu smiled and quickly bought a cone and handed it to Yu Qianqian.
"Mmm, so sweet!"
Yu Qianqian carefully licked it once, and her eyes immediately turned into crescent moons.
"Let's continue, time for the feast."
