Qian Fuchen and his brother, together with Mr. Ma, did not show the slightest irritation when Elder Mr. Ma spoke like this. On the contrary, their faces revealed a trace of gratitude. They were not fools; after what had happened this ti, especially Qian Fuchen, they all had the deepest understanding and feelings towards Xiao Yi’s dical skills. His own illness, which had plagued him for many years, had sought the help of countless Divine Doctors to no avail. However, after being treated by Xiao Yi, his condition had visibly improved at a visible rate. Although Xiao Yi had said that this cure would only last for three years, and after three years, liver function would still severely deteriorate.
Even so, he still felt that Xiao Yi’s dical skills were incomparably defying the heavens!
What did it an to possess such heaven-defying dical skills? It ant an additional layer of life assurance! There was no need to ntion Qian Fuchen, for he still required Xiao Yi’s regular check-ups and treatnts. And everyone nearby, although they seed very healthy at the mont, would inevitably face their day. Life was precious to everyone, especially for nobles and the wealthy like Mr. Ma and Qian Fuyu.
How could they not show respect to soone who could hang on to their life, save their life, or even, like in Qian Fuchen’s case, grant them a chance at rebirth in the face of a desperate situation?
Moreover, a Divine Doctor like Xiao Yi, who possessed such miraculous and heaven-defying dical skills, could establish good relationships with any individual in the country if he wished. After witnessing his dical skills, any person, any family, would undoubtedly give him sufficient respect. Thus, his future was definitely imasurable.
For such a young man, Elder Mr. Ma’s words provided them an opportunity, a chance to improve their relationship with him. How could they mind? How could they not be overflowing with gratitude?
"Co, Mr. Xiao, I toast to you. I apologize for any offenses before, and I am grateful that you were generous enough not to hold a grudge and saved my life. I won’t say much about this life-saving grace; as Uncle Ma said, as long as I, Mr. Qian, live, whenever Mr. Xiao commands, I, Mr. Qian, will definitely brave any danger, without hesitation!"
After giving Elder Mr. Ma a grateful look, Qian Fuchen imdiately raised his glass, his expression sincerely looking towards Xiao Yi.
"Let’s not talk about that now. Saving lives and healing the wounded is my duty, and besides, Mr. Qian has already paid the dical fees, haha."
Xiao Yi lifted his glass as well, clinked it with Qian Fuchen’s, and without making things difficult for him, drank it down in one go.
He knew well the thoughts of Qian Fuchen and Elder Mr. Ma. However, in his opinion, Elder Mr. Ma and Mr. Ma were indeed worth befriending, while the Qian brothers still remained under observation. For the ti being, he maintained a doctor-patient relationship with the two.
"Haha, speaking of which, Xiao Yi, your consultation fee is indeed quite steep. This old man has saved lives his whole life, but it doesn’t compare to you curing one illness."
Elder An, who stood nearby, couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing Xiao Yi’s words, teasing him a bit, yet his voice was free of any jealousy or envy.
"Indeed, haha, Elder An, we used to think we were sobodies, but compared to Xiao Yi, there is quite a gap in treatnt."
Dr. Zhang imdiately joined in the laughter.
The two of them were already aware of Xiao Yi’s one-billion-yuan dical fee for treating Qian Fuchen, and they couldn’t help but make fun of him. However, he wasn’t soone who cared much about money and didn’t put too much thought into it. It was just a talk, with no envy in their hearts.
Moreover, he didn’t feel that Xiao Yi’s fees were in any way unreasonable. After so ti spent together, he had co to understand Xiao Yi to so extent and knew that Xiao Yi was not soone greedy for wealth. His collection of a billion yuan in dical fees must have had its purpose.
"Gentlen, please don’t make fun of , haha, it was a helpless move, as disciples we do follow the rules, and one must not underestimate dicine."
Though Xiao Yi knew the remarks from the two were without malice, he felt sowhat embarrassed at that mont and chuckled bitterly. Then he looked at Qian Fuchen and took the opportunity to explain, "When my grandfather taught Chinese dicine, there was an edict that one must not accept those we had refused to treat. If we had to accept them, it must be at the price of half their wealth. So, Mr. Qian, I apologize for any offense!"
Hearing Xiao Yi’s explanation, Elder An and Dr. Zhang both looked enlightened and began pondering the significance of Xiao Yi’s words.
Dr. Zhang didn’t see much in it and thought Xiao Yi’s grandfather’s rule was rather strange and terrifying. If soone only had a thousand or ten thousand yuan, losing half wouldn’t be much. But what if their fortune was tens of billions or even a hundred billion? Would they also have to give up half of it? That seed too dreadful!
But Elder An’s heart shook. He thought he might have understood sothing. The phrase "one must not underestimate dicine" hit him hard. Why had Chinese dicine declined over so many years? If every Chinese doctor held themselves with respect and strength like Xiao Yi’s grandfather, would the situation be the sa as it was now? Who would dare to look down on Chinese dicine? Who wouldn’t seek the favor of Chinese dicine practitioners?
Qian Fuyu, Mr. Ma, and the others were also startled by the rule Xiao Yi ntioned, finding it sowhat unacceptable, sharing the sa thoughts as Dr. Zhang that demanding half of one’s wealth was a bit too terrifying.
"Xiao Yi, your grandfather was truly a divine being. It’s a pity I never had the chance to et him!"
Elder Mr. Ma was also montarily stunned, his eyebrows furrowing, but they soon relaxed, and he sighed while looking at his seemingly unconvinced son, Mr. Ma, and Qian Fuyu, "Demanding half of one’s wealth may sound excessive, but consider it: what in the world is more precious than life? Without life, what use is a wealth of millions? And if not for a life-threatening situation, why would they repeatedly seek aid from them?"
