If it weren't for him and the Great and Second Elders being experienced and skilled in the medical arts, if this had been placed in the hands of an ordinary doctor, An Yiqing would most likely not have stood a chance at survival.
When Nie Shan came out, he actually concealed the truth. Ye Chenghong had repeatedly cautioned him to never reveal the real situation to Gu Yelin and the An family members. Otherwise, he could control the reaction of the An family, but if the man obsessed with love, Gu Yelin, really lost his mind, even Old Master Gu's personal intervention would be of no avail.
So, when Nie Shan came out, he put on a dramatic show of "gasp for air" to divert Gu Yelin's attention.
Fortunately, after the desperate rescue by Ye Chenghong and the Great and Second Elders, An Yiqing finally pulled through.
But...
"I have something to announce, and you all need to be prepared," Ye Chenghong said with a deep sigh.
