Master Hall, Xue Family Mansion
A group of people were waiting anxiously for someone's return. An old man was sleeping on the hospital bed with deathly grey skin. He looked like a zombie. His eye sockets were sunk in, and his body seemed bloodless, all in all, he was the patient we are concerned about.
Patriarch Xue and the doctors around him were fighting for his life, trying to delay the time. Hoping for a miracle.
"Mr. Xue, if this condition persists, Patriarch Xue might not be able to last for another month." The leading physician declared.
Mr. Xue's face turned serious and made some calls. The whole family had been trying to contact the best doctors or TCM specialists to find the cure. But, this was not a disease, pushing modern medicine to cure something that is not part of human anatomy (common) is like asking your gardener to build a rocket from leaves. They didn't know anything about practice, so they were helpless.
Only a superior practitioner could help Patriarch Xue at this time.
...
Xue Ningli and Ye Feng arrived at the gate of the Xue Family Mansion.
She was excited to let Ye Feng heal her grandpa so she held his hand and ran straight towards the main hall.
(What were you expecting? Guards blocking them?)
They reached the center of the hall, but everyone ignored them because they thought he was Ningli's friend and came to visit her grandpa. It was when he took hold of his hand did everyone realized it was not as simple as they thought.
One of the younger members immediately became alert.
"Who are you?"
He stepped forward protectively.
"What are you trying to do to Grandpa?"
Seeing the misunderstanding, Xue Ningli hurriedly waved her hands.
"Stop! Stop!"
"He is a doctor."
"I brought him here to save Grandpa."
Father Xue stepped forward and asked, "Young man, who are you? and what are you doing here?"
Ye Feng bowed respectfully to his father-in-law and said, "Greetings Mr. Xue, I am Ye Feng, closing disciple of Divine Doctor Xiao. My master and Patriarch Xue are close friends. After hearing his health was in distress, I came to heal him."
A strange look flashed across Father Xue's face.
It was not excitement.
It was not relief.
It was not gratitude either.
The expression vanished almost instantly.
So quickly that most people failed to notice it.
However, Ye Feng was standing directly opposite him.
He caught that fleeting change clearly.
For a brief moment, he felt something was wrong.
But the thought disappeared as quickly as it appeared.
After all, he had just revealed the identity of Divine Doctor Xiao's disciple.
No one would refuse such an opportunity.
"It is our honor for Nephew Ye to travel such a long distance for my father's sake."
Father Xue seemed to remember something.
His eyes briefly glanced toward the entrance of the hall.
Then he said,
"Nephew Ye, please wait a moment before taking action."
"We are currently waiting for something."
The hall instantly became quiet.
Several members of the Xue Family looked surprised.
Even the doctors exchanged confused looks.
Patriarch Xue's condition had already reached a critical stage.
What could possibly be more important than treatment?
Ye Feng frowned slightly.
However, he quickly relaxed.
No matter what arrived, it could not compare to his master's medical inheritance.
At most it would become another stepping stone for him to display his abilities.
...
At the same time.
Li Family Villa.
Li Tao was sitting comfortably on the sofa while reading the latest intelligence report.
Murong Qing and Aunt Ling were beside him.
The report contained everything that happened after Ye Feng entered Fortune City.
Including Xu Yue.
Including Shen Yao.
Including Lin Bingxue.
And now...
Xue Ningli.
Murong Qing felt slightly speechless after reading it.
"This guy's luck is ridiculous."
"Another one?"
Li Tao nodded.
"Another one."
Aunt Ling couldn't help asking,
"Are you really not going to stop him?"
Li Tao took a sip of tea.
"Why should I?"
"He is helping me gather luck."
Murong Qing rolled her eyes.
"You make it sound like you're raising livestock."
Li Tao grinned.
"That's because I am."
The two women were speechless.
Sometimes they genuinely felt sorry for Ye Feng.
He thought he was hunting opportunities.
In reality, Li Tao was waiting for him to fatten himself up.
Li Tao put down the report.
"A'Qian."
A shadow appeared silently.
"Young Master."
"Has the medicine been delivered?"
"Yes."
"Father Xue will receive it any moment."
Li Tao nodded.
The corners of his lips curled upward.
"Good."
"The show should begin soon."
