Chapter 294: Refusing Help, Shrek Academy's Disgusting Actions
"Nan Nan?"
Upon hearing the weak voice in the live broadcast, Lin Yu couldn't help but frown.
Live broadcasts that occur with a six-month gap usually take place in the future. The previous broadcasts, all of them happened during the Age of the Ultimate Tang Sect, and this one should be no different.
If this broadcast is also from the Age of the Ultimate Tang Sect, then does the name "Nan Nan" refer to Jiang Nan Nan, and is this broadcast about her story?
Lin Yu speculated in his heart based on the weak voice heard in the broadcast.
At this point, the broadcast continued.
While the faint voice was speaking, the camera zoomed into the dilapidated wooden house.
In an instant, everyone saw the inside of the old wooden house clearly through the camera.
Inside the shabby wooden house, in a separated room, a young woman dressed in plain clothes with a hint of elegance was sitting at the edge of a bed, her face pale as she coughed repeatedly.
Beside her, a girl dressed in a pink long dress was holding a porcelain bowl with black soup, feeding it to her mother.
The girl appeared to be around fourteen or fifteen years old, with a slender and well-proportioned figure, her long golden hair tied into a single ponytail, and her skin as white as snow. Her delicate features made her look very charming, but her temperament was strong and resolute.
The girl spoke with determination, looking at her mother.
"Mom, dad has already passed away. You are my only family now. As long as I'm still alive, I will never give up on you!"
"Nan Nan..."
Upon hearing her words, the young woman felt a mix of emotions, both touched and saddened. She was touched to have such a good daughter, but saddened because she had become a burden to her daughter.
"Mom, I'll take you to Shrek City. Your illness can't be treated here. Only in Shrek City, the doctors there can help you!"
Looking at her mother, the girl continued speaking.
Upon hearing her daughter's words, the young woman nodded tearfully.
At first, the woman didn't want to go to see a doctor because her daughter had already collected many medicinal herbs from the back mountain to make medicine for her, but it hadn't cured her condition.
She knew her illness was not a simple one.
If it were a serious illness, even if it was diagnosed, it would certainly cost a lot of money—money that they couldn't afford.
However, since her daughter had already sworn to never give up on her, and she couldn't bring herself to take her own life, she had no choice but to let her daughter take her to see the doctor. After all, her daughter was a core disciple of Shrek Academy, and should be able to afford the treatment, right?
Shrek City? Looks like this broadcast is going to involve Shrek Academy after all, Lin Yu thought.
Listening to the exchange between the girl, likely Jiang Nan Nan, and her mother in the live broadcast, many people couldn't help but frown.
After Jiang Nan Nan promised to take her mother to Shrek City for treatment, the camera switched, bringing the audience to Shrek City.
In the scene, the camera was in a medical hall, where Jiang Nan Nan must have brought her mother for treatment.
The doctor, having finished examining Jiang Nan Nan's mother, sighed deeply.
"Doctor, what illness does my mother have? Can it be cured?" Jiang Nan Nan asked, her face full of hope.
"Sigh... Little girl, your mother seems to have had a heart condition since birth. If she had rested well, it might not have been an issue."
"But your mother must have been overworked, not getting enough rest, and her heart condition gradually worsened. Eventually, it became as serious as it is now."
Looking at Jiang Nan Nan, the doctor sighed.
"Doctor, can it be cured?"
Hearing that her mother's condition was congenital, Jiang Nan Nan felt a heavy weight in her heart but still asked with a shred of hope.
"Sigh... Little girl, I'm sorry. My knowledge is limited. I really can't find any way to cure your mother."
"But I have heard of a pill from the Xuanming Sect, the Xuanwu Divine Pill, which can nourish the body. It might help restore your mother's health gradually. But this pill is nearly impossible to find... it's extremely rare..."
The doctor sighed as he spoke, unable to offer a cure and only recommending the legendary Xuanwu Divine Pill.
Xuanwu Divine Pill? Impossible to find?
Hearing the doctor's words, Jiang Nan Nan was filled with despair.
She didn't even have a hundred gold soul coins on her, let alone be able to afford the Xuanwu Divine Pill, let alone know where to even find it.
This poor child...
In the live broadcast room, upon hearing Jiang Nan Nan's refusal to give up on saving her mother, but facing nearly hopeless circumstances, many people, especially Liu Erlong, felt deeply sorry and sympathetic.
Because Liu Erlong's childhood had been very similar to Jiang Nan Nan's.
Although she was the daughter of the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Sect's Jade Radiance, as a bastard child, Liu Erlong had been raised in a small village, relying solely on her mother.
Liu Erlong could see herself in Jiang Nan Nan.
In the live broadcast, even though the doctor had mentioned that saving her mother would require the expensive and rare Xuanwu Divine Pill, Jiang Nan Nan felt very hopeless.
But deep inside, Jiang Nan Nan didn't give up.
Because Jiang Nan Nan herself couldn't find any way to get the Xuanwu Divine Pill and didn't have the money to buy it, she had no choice but to seek help from Shrek Academy.
Deep inside, Jiang Nan Nan didn't want to do this.
Although her family was poor, her pride and sensitivity had made her reluctant to ask for help, but she had no other choice.
However, when Jiang Nan Nan put aside her pride and sought help from the teachers at Shrek Academy, they actually refused to help her, and didn't even report the matter.
This left Jiang Nan Nan utterly hopeless.
At this point in the broadcast, countless viewers didn't know what to say.
Shrek Academy, which would later become one of the most prestigious academies on the continent, had refused to help a talented student like Jiang Nan Nan.
The members of the Spirit Hall couldn't help but sneer with derision.
If this had happened in their Spirit Hall, they would have definitely extended a helping hand, after all, it was just a few thousand gold. With Jiang Nan Nan's talent, she could eventually become a Soul Saint.
To win the heart of a future Soul Saint for just a few thousand gold was more than worth it!
However, the next part of the broadcast made the audience's sense of morality shatter.
Even though Shrek Academy refused to directly help Jiang Nan Nan, they offered her another way to obtain the Xuanwu Divine Pill—by selling herself to the Xuanming Sect!
