Chapter 512: Chapter 512: An S-Class dical Sage?
"Grandpa ng’s condition isn’t very good right now, in fact, it’s extrely bad. Uncle Chen and the others have already seen him and are at a loss, with no solutions at hand. Yesterday, when Grandpa ng had his attack, I was out of town. Eldest senior brother just happened to be at the scene when it happened. He was really supportive, and later he managed to bring in a Master Uncle Liu Hong. Although they found a treatnt thod that isn’t the best, there’s at least so hope now. Later, grandpa decided that they would wait for you to co back before discussing further."
Hearing Leng i speak like this, Leng Hao also felt a wave of sadness in his heart. Even the group of Imperial Physicians and a National Hand like Uncle Chen were out of options, which ant Grandpa ng’s situation was indeed dire, with him remaining unconscious all the ti. If this dragged on, there would definitely be trouble. But since grandpa had decided to wait for his sister’s return before making any decisions, all they could do was anxiously wait without a solution.
Thinking about yesterday’s events, Leng Hao felt helpless. When Grandpa ng fell ill, he was out of town, only getting back to the Leng Family ho in the middle of the night. Eldest senior brother Yuan Kun just happened to be visiting the house looking for him, and when he saw Grandpa ng’s condition, he was very eager to contact a dical expert for treatnt. But to everyone’s surprise, the dical Sage that eldest senior brother brought, Liu Hong, though having a thod to cure Grandpa ng, proposed a solution with terrible consequences, sothing that everyone found unacceptable. Thus, Liu Hong and Uncle Chen started arguing.
Eventually, it was grandpa who made the decision. He had Uncle Chen and the others stay by Grandpa ng’s side and wait for his sister’s return before concluding the argunt. Eldest senior brother, seeing the situation, stayed with dical Sage Liu Hong at the Leng Family house overnight. So, when grandpa called him over to the airport to pick up his sister in the morning, eldest senior brother just happened to be nearby and spoke up, saying he would co along.
In fact, Leng Hao had long been aware that eldest senior brother liked his sister, sothing almost everyone in the Leng Family could see. However, eldest senior brother never said anything, only silently helping her. This made Leng Hao’s feelings towards eldest senior brother particularly deep. Besides, over the years, eldest senior brother had beco quite close to their family, being amiable, humble, and polite, which earned him the Leng Family’s fondness.
Even at tis, Leng Hao genuinely hoped his sister could end up with eldest senior brother, as that would an a good future for her. Over the years, his fondness for eldest senior brother wasn’t just a little, they were like real brothers. Hence, when eldest senior brother offered to co and pick up Leng i, Leng Hao agreed without a second thought.
"Leng i, Chief Elder ng’s situation really isn’t optimistic. Who is this?" Yuan Kun initiated the conversation, having noticed the young man by Leng i’s side, a young man who had been walking ahead of Leng i since they ca out.
This detail struck Yuan Kun as very odd. Everyone knew Leng i’s character was extraordinarily detached, making it hard for most people to get along with her, let alone a man. To engage in a few words of conversation with her was already an impressive feat, so this small detail could not be ignored.
Others might not have noticed, but he had. Just now, Leng i had deliberately walked half a step behind the young man, and she had maintained this distance even while speaking with Leng Hao. This half-step should not be underestimated, for it definitely suggested a problem. If there were no special relationship between them, Leng i would never show any man such courtesy.
Who exactly was this man?
Yuan Kun was wary of this man who had suddenly appeared beside Leng i and was filled with questions, curious about his identity. He finally asked when Leng i and Leng Hao had said most of what they wanted.
Years ago, after Yuan Kun and Leng Hao beca senior and junior brothers, Yuan Kun glimpsed Leng i by chance and was imdiately attracted to her icy deanor. He had also expressed his fondness for Leng i, but he was very smart about it, his way of showing it wasn’t the sa as the usual suitors; very gentlemanly and reasoned. After saying it once, he didn’t speak of other things or take other actions, which had left a good impression on Leng i. He was quite pleased with himself because everything was going according to his plan.
But today, the sudden appearance of this young man made Yuan Kun feel an inexplicable sense of caution, sensing this person was not simple—though he couldn’t quite put his finger on it...
"He’s my colleague, Lin Feng. By the way, Yuan Kun, you ca here to pick up my sister with my brother. Don’t you have other things to do?" Leng i briefly introduced Lin Feng, but she felt quite uncomfortable about Yuan Kun’s presence. It was entirely sufficient for her little brother to co and pick her up; there was no need for Yuan Kun to join the crowd.
Ever since Yuan Kun and his younger brother beca sworn brothers a few years ago, Yuan Kun had grown very close to the Leng Family. In fact, he had once expressed his liking for her, yet she rejected him without any hesitation. However, setting aside her personal feelings, Yuan Kun’s relationship with the Leng Family had been quite good over these past few years. He himself acted with great discretion and steadiness in everything he did, and the evaluations of him from everyone in the Leng Family, regarding their elder brother of the disciple, were very high.
In pursuit of her, all these years Yuan Kun had maintained a profile so low it couldn’t possibly be lower, since he never did anything too rash. Gradually, Leng i began to turn a blind eye to his advancents. However, Yuan Kun’s sudden appearance today at the airport with his brother made Leng i feel uncomfortable. After all, she was now in a confird relationship with Lin Feng, and the last thing Leng i wanted was for Lin Feng to see Yuan Kun and misunderstand sothing.
"Chief Elder ng fell ill, and I happened to be there at the ti. Taking advantage of my master’s reputation, I managed to invite Master Uncle Liu Hong over to treat Chief Elder ng, which is why I spent last night with Master Uncle Liu Hong at the Leng Family residence. I heard you were arriving this morning, so I ca with Xiao Hao to pick you up. There isn’t anything important at the office these days, so it’s not a big deal," she said.
Hearing Leng i speak like this, Yuan Kun imdiately replied to her, promptly telling her about the events of the previous night. He was exceptionally proud and satisfied when ntioning Master Uncle Liu Hong, who was a highly esteed super powerhouse. If not for his close relationship with his master, it would have been impossible to persuade Master Uncle Liu Hong to co out and treat soone. Only by leveraging his master’s influence was he able to do so, otherwise, it would have been impossible for anyone else to invite him.
Though the Yuan family had fallen and was now rely a third-rate clan, its heritage was not to be underestimated by anyone, because the Yuan family had once been incredibly glorious, connected with many of the upper echelons. Added to that, Yuan Kun’s current status as the elder brother of a secretive sect and his master’s most prized disciple, ant that, after putting in an enormous effort, he was able to invite the highly skilled Master Uncle Liu Hong to treat General ng Ping’s illness.
Master Uncle Liu Hong had another identity: he was also an S-level super powerhouse!
Every cultivator knows that S-level powerhouses are not easily summoned. One needs to reach a certain level and have special connections to do so, not to ntion the price is trendously high. Furthermore, S-level powerhouses typically do not practice dicine because they don’t have the spare energy to study it. Thus, an S-level powerhouse with dical skills is even rarer. Yuan Kun paid an extraordinarily high price to persuade Master Uncle Liu Hong to help.
If it were not for the desire to do sothing remarkable in front of the Leng Family to gain their favor, or if it weren’t for the things he stood to gain if he saved General ng’s life, Yuan Kun would not have expended so much effort to draw Master Uncle Liu Hong out of seclusion. The cost of inviting such a super powerhouse was extraordinarily high, to the point where it made his heart bleed, but Yuan Kun had no regrets. Compared to what he could gain if he truly cured General ng Ping’s injury, the price was still bearable to him.
But... Yuan Kun could never have dread that General ng Ping’s condition was so terrible that even Master Uncle Liu Hong had no good solution. While there was now a potential solution that offered so hope, the consequences were severe, so Chen Guisheng and Leng Hui firmly rejected this treatnt thod, leaving his well-laid plans to naught.
However, Yuan Kun found a slight consolation when he thought of another aspect: although Master Uncle Liu Hong hadn’t cured General ng Ping, he had shown the ng and Leng families just how hard he had tried. Not to ntion anything else, being an S-level dical Sage, he probably was the only one in the entire Capital City who could invite such a person. Gaining so indirect influence was a small consolation.
"A dical Sage more impressive than Grandpa Chen?" Leng i felt very surprised after hearing Yuan Kun’s words. Grandpa Chen was essentially a leading figure in traditional Chinese dicine. How incredible was this Master Uncle Liu Hong that Yuan Kun ntioned? Could he really be more impressive than Grandpa Chen? If so, what was the result?
"That’s basically the case. National Hand Chen had no solutions, while Master Uncle Liu Hong already has a thod. This ans that Master Uncle Liu Hong’s dical skills are indeed a notch above Uncle Chen’s. But as of now, no one has started the treatnt. Elder Leng said we should wait for your return to discuss it further. Moreover, Master Uncle Liu Hong has another identity; he is an S-level powerhouse who can use True Qi for treatnt, sothing National Hand Chen simply cannot do."
When Leng i questioned Master Uncle Liu Hong’s identity, Yuan Kun eagerly started to explain his credentials, recalling the events of last night vividly. Indeed, Master Uncle Liu Hong was more impressive than Chen Guisheng, and there was no comparison between the two. It’s important to note that an S-level Master Uncle Liu Hong could use True Qi, which set him worlds apart from Chen Guisheng.
"An S-level dical Sage?" Leng i was astonished when Yuan Kun ntioned that he had managed to invite an S-level dical Sage to treat Grandpa ng. She had genuinely not anticipated Yuan Kun having such an ability. It was only during the New Year’s chat with her brother that she learned about cultivators, as she had been eager to understand what level of a powerhouse Lin Feng was, which is why she wanted to clarify the hierarchy of cultivators through her brother.
