Chapter 65: Chapter 65 Lies Chapter 65: Chapter 65 Lies “I sick?
That’s my dal of honor for hard work!” Old Man Bai stubbornly said.
Old Man Bai’s daughter ignored him, snatched his phone, and started looking seriously: “Is the Second Hospital so unreliable?
How could they ss this up?”
After a while, she looked up and asked, “This person has the sa na as you, and the sa age, could it be such a coincidence?”
“Maybe the reports got mixed up…”
“Could they ss up everything?” Old Man Bai’s daughter frowned, “Blood tests, urine tests, and what about the CT scan, how could they ss up everything?”
Old Man Bai was stunned for a mont, then considered, “From a probabilistic perspective, the possibility isn’t zero…”
“…your body is healthier than mine!” Old Man Bai’s daughter, uninterested in the old man’s excuses, continued reading the report with a look of surprise on her face.
Old Man Bai imdiately perked up, loudly saying to his daughter, “See, I told you I’m very healthy.”
“Yeah, yeah, I couldn’t be happier that your health is good,” his daughter’s tone beca much gentler, but she couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Have you started taking Immortal Pills lately?
Can they rejuvenate you?”
Hearing this, both Old Man Bai and Tang Lingwu glanced at Zheng Fa.
Old Man Bai scratched the curls on his head and after thinking for a while, said, “I’ve been watching square dancing recently and t a nice elderly lady.”
His daughter suddenly looked up at him, “…At my age, I could have a stepmom?”
“No, I an, my body is probably experiencing a second spring just like my emotional life, feeling good leads to good health.”
“…” His daughter looked at him speechlessly as he made up lies.
“It’s all the power of love, get it?”
“I’m over forty, I don’t understand all this romance of you old folks,” his daughter said expressionlessly.
“It’s alright, nothing’s wrong with !” Old Man Bai, unable to explain clearly, started ushering his daughter out, “Go do your stuff, I still have to tutor these two.”
“Dad!”
“My body is so good, what are you worried about?”
Old Man Bai waved his hand.
Seeing him like this, his daughter, reminded of the earlier report, could only leave helplessly.
As soon as the door closed, Old Man Bai abruptly turned, his eyes shining as he looked at Zheng Fa.
“Is our sect’s martial arts really that miraculous?”
Tang Lingwu, curious too, was looking at Old Man Bai’s dical report.
The dical report wasn’t entirely normal; so indicators had a little arrow next to them, indicating that these were not within the normal range.
But for a man in his sixties or seventies, it was indeed very healthy.
“This is even fewer problems than when I had a check-up at forty.” Old Man Bai clicked his tongue in amazent, then looked at Zheng Fa, “Zheng Fa, you don’t mind that I kept this a secret for you, do you?”
“You did it for my benefit,” Zheng Fa shook his head.
“I also wasn’t sure what would happen if this got out, maybe so people would target you, maybe it would bring you great fa and wealth,” Old Man Bai said very seriously as he looked at Zheng Fa, “But whether it’s good or bad, you’re not ready to handle all that just yet.
Do you understand?”
“I understand.”
Who is he?
An orphan, a high school student a few months shy of adulthood.
Besides a body trained in martial arts, almost having nothing.
The effect of Songhe Stance shouldn’t be so significant.
But Spiritual Crane Body is different.
Though Old Man Bai’s progress is slow and it will take a few more months to achieve Spiritual Crane Body, this doesn’t an his body hasn’t benefited from it.
Instead, training the Spiritual Crane Body seems to be repairing his aging body, preparing it to transform into a Taoist Body.
“Just had to make you tell a few lies, sacrificing your reputation a bit,” Zheng Fa was a bit embarrassed.
Old Man Bai, in order to keep his secret, even fabricated a late-life romance.
“What lie?”
“About the second spring,” Zheng Fa recalled what Old Man Bai had just told his daughter.
“Who says I lied to her?” Old Man Bai widened his eyes, looking confused at Zheng Fa.
“?”
“How is it that you young people are allowed to be lovey-dovey in front of , but I’m not allowed a bit of old man’s romance?”
“…”
After asking all the questions that accumulated over the past few days, Zheng Fa rembered Zhang’s request.
“I have a friend…”
“Oh, a friend…” Old Man Bai nodded, understanding.
“She likes those problems that have complex calculations, one might even call them the sort of perverse problems that torntors specifically use to annoy people.” Zheng Fa objectively described Zhang’s preference: “Do you know where we can find a lot of such problems?”
“You have this hobby too?” Old Man Bai appeared delighted.
“It’s really not ,” Zheng Fa paused: “No, what do you an by that…”
“Just wait!”
Old Man Bai ran to the bookshelf behind him and pulled out several thick folders: “I just love to collect these difficult and strange problems.”
Zheng Fa could see that behind him, a cabinet as tall as a man was packed with similar folders.
Is this… the joy cabinet for sister Zhang?
“Do you… also like to solve these problems?”
Zheng Fa was greatly shocked, how could he, with his luck, et two such torntors!
“Oh, I don’t like to solve them, it’s too torturous,” Old Man Bai waved his hand.
Fortunately, the old man wasn’t that frightening.
“I am the sort of torntor you ntioned, who likes to annoy people with tough problems.”
“?”
“I used to set competition problems for a while, these are so of the problems I collected or ca up with myself.”
“All in that cabinet?”
“Not really, there are different types of problems, we as problem-setters have to accumulate these regularly.
Speaking of which, the group in the problem-setting committee always tried to stop .” Old Man Bai looked regretful: “They said these kind of problems would make people curse.”
…
In the Xuanwei Realm.
Zheng Fa walked towards the courtyard in Zhao Mansion where Zhang was staying as a guest, which was just a few dozen steps from the young lady’s courtyard.
As he entered the gate of Zhang’s courtyard, the young lady erged from her own courtyard.
She frowned as she watched Zheng Fa’s back, a hint of contemplation flashed across her face, and she headed towards the lady’s building.
“Mother, I saw Zheng Fa going to see Zhang.”
She said to the lady.
The lady nodded and did not say anything.
“Mother, Zhang is a person who loves tranquility, isn’t it inappropriate for Zheng Fa to disturb her like this, what if he angers Zhang?”
The lady shook her head: “Zheng Fa is not soone who is rash and reckless, if he went to see Master Zhang, he must have received her consent.”
The young lady furrowed her brows, seemingly not convinced by her mother’s judgnt: “How could it be?
There are so many people in the Hundred Immortals Alliance who want to get close to Zhang, and she never entertains them lightly.
And I could invite her only because our ancestors had a connection with Zhang’s master.”
“Did you say before that Master Zhang said Zheng Fa’s talent in the talismanic Dao is not inferior to hers?”
The lady suddenly asked.
“Yes, Zhang herself said that.”
The lady fell into a deep silence, and after a while, she suddenly looked at her daughter, her expression serious: “Lan’er, I have sothing to discuss with you.”
“Mother?”
“I am considering having Zheng Fa marry into our Zhao Family, what do you think?”
“To marry in?
Mother, you value him so highly?
Indeed, with his talent, if our Zhao Family wants to capture his heart, this is a way,” the young lady mused aloud: “Mother, which sister are you planning to have him marry?
Would father agree?”
She frowned, apparently calculating in her mind which of so many half-sisters in the front courtyard would be suitable.
“You.”
The young lady froze, pointing at her own nose: “?”
