When it cos to negotiation, even ten Xiao Tiantian combined can’t match Wang Yongzhu.
After all, he was the first to confess that this Bloodsucker Vine, no, White Jade Pearl, was extrely important to him, and even more precious to their Alliance.
In this way, the initiative was almost entirely in Wang Yongzhu’s hands.
After two rounds, Xiao Tiantian was utterly defeated, raising the white flag.
After a round of talks, Wang Yongzhu and Xiao Tiantian reached a preliminary agreent.
Xiao Tiantian was responsible for helping to uproot the White Jade Pearl from Old Man Wu’s body, leaving no hidden dangers.
This White Jade Pearl was to be stored with Wang Yongzhu first.
As for Wang Yongzhu’s conditions, she rely chuckled and told Xiao Tiantian to inform their Alliance’s Supre Brain that she had only three requests. The first was to return all the Points she had painstakingly earned from previous missions, and to reopen the System Marketplace.
Second, cancel all the system’s restrictions on her. The Xiao Tiantian System may remain to assist her, occasionally releasing tasks as a pasti, allowing her to earn so Points. Alternatively, they could replace it with a less humanized system, as long as it retains the System Marketplace’s exchange function.
As for the third request, it depends on the sincerity of Xiao Tiantian’s Alliance.
Xiao Tiantian almost fainted, stamring, "Host, Host dear, isn’t this taking advantage of the situation?"
Wang Yongzhu smiled, "Xiao Tiantian, be more confident, remove ’isn’t,’ this is precisely taking advantage of the situation! If you guys are tough enough, you can refuse to be robbed by —"
Xiao Tiantian imdiately fell silent, although it wanted to refuse, it was reluctant!
anwhile, Song Chongjin and Old Doctor Du finished discussing matters in the Capital City and saw that Wang Yongzhu was still squatting in the yard, playing with a piece of weed for half a day, seemingly finding amusent.
At the sa ti, in the adjacent courtyard, Wu Zhongbao and Lady Wu sat by Old Man Wu’s bed, exchanging glances, then looking at Old Man Wu on the bed, their minds in turmoil.
After a long while, Lady Wu made a decision, lowered her head to glance at Old Man Wu, just about to speak, but noticed Old Man Wu’s eyelids trembled and slowly opened.
Delighted, she rushed forward: "You’re awake?"
Old Man Wu struggled to open his eyes, glanced at Lady Wu and Wu Zhongbao, parted his lips, trying to make a sound: "Kill... kill ..."
His expression was anxious and terrified, with a hint of urgency.
Lady Wu’s tears fell like rain, the words she wanted to say caught in her throat, she only held Old Man Wu’s hand tightly.
Wu Zhongbao’s eyes reddened, forcing a smile more miserable than crying: "Dad, don’t worry, I’ve invited an Imperial Physician who has diagnosed there’s a monster in your abdon, he will heal you—"
Old Man Wu blinked desperately, squeezing out a few more words: "No... it’s useless... I, I know, I’m... I’m not going to make it... don’t, don’t save , kill, kill ... remove it..."
Before finishing, he finally exhausted his strength and fainted again.
Lady Wu hurriedly checked Old Man Wu’s breath, feeling a slight warmth, she was relieved.
After composing herself, she spoke decisively: "Zhongbao, your father is right! If we let this evil thing continue to drain his vitality, enduring a few more days, your father will only suffer more. If this evil grows, it will harm others when it forms!"
"It’s better to let this Imperial Physician remove this evil thing, leaving your father with so dignity—" She couldn’t bear to continue, turned her gaze away, and wiped her tears.
Wu Zhongbao closed his eyes. If it were before, he still had a glimr of hope, but now, Old Doctor Du’s words shattered it completely.
After a long ti, he finally said, "I understand, Mother!"
Tears rolled down his cheeks.
Mother and son looked at Old Man Wu for a while more before making up their minds to find Old Doctor Du.
With heavy expressions, they ca over and gave Old Doctor Du a deep bow: "We beseech you, sir, to remove the Bloodsucker Vine from my father’s abdon!"
Old Doctor Du nodded but said little more.
It was Wang Yongzhu who, seeing Lady Wu staggering, almost unable to stand, softened her heart, stepped forward to support her, and whispered comforting words: "Don’t worry, my master will do his utmost to save Uncle’s life!"
Lady Wu looked at Wang Yongzhu with gratitude: "Thank you! I know, without your help, we couldn’t have gotten the Imperial Physician’s attention. This kindness our family will never forget! Please, let the Imperial Physician proceed as needed, should anything happen, it is my husband’s fate! We are eternally grateful for clarifying the ailnt, knowing clearly and fully!"
Lady Wu’s reasonableness made Old Doctor Du give her an extra glance.
After a long while, he said: "Rest assured, I’ll prescribe so dicines for these few days to replenish his vitality, and to reduce the blood consud by the Bloodsucker Vine. After a few days, when the patient’s vitality stabilizes, I will act, giving more confidence."
Lady Wu and Wu Zhongbao profusely thanked Old Doctor Du and then left, supporting each other.
Once they had left, Wang Yongzhu asked quietly: "Master, is there really no way to prolong his life?"
Old Doctor Du snorted: "Doctors can heal illness, but they can’t command fate! Birth, old age, sickness, and death, as a doctor, you must accept these! Sotis, wanting to save doesn’t an you can!"
Wang Yongzhu could only touch her nose and step back.
Over there, Wu Changshou had already arranged accommodations. Although the Wu family’s courtyard was large, only the two adjacent courtyards were inhabited.
Knowing that not only had Song Chongjin invited an Imperial Physician, but had also brought his wife, he quickly sent people to clean and unobtrusively arranged the neighboring courtyard, placing several servants there as well, before inviting them to rest.
Having been jolted for half a day, Wang Yongzhu also needed so washing up and did not delay going over.
In the evening, Lady Wu personally brought the al over, face full of a bit of embarrassnt, she explained that the family was tight and apologized for any neglect of their guests.
Wang Yongzhu looked at the table with five or six dishes, plus fish and at, which was rather decent.
Looking again at what Lady Wu wore and the current state of the Wu family, it was probably a hard decision.
She imdiately said: "Auntie, you’re being too kind, it’s already very nice. We have brought so many people; we are the ones imposing. Starting tomorrow, Auntie needn’t worry about us, making als for so many people is tiring, we can handle it ourselves!"
Lady Wu was not willing to agree.
She knew well, they owed a giant favor to Song Chongjin and Wang Yongzhu. They were helped at this critical ti, and although they couldn’t repay much else, at least they should provide als, even if they had to exhaust everything, to ensure their comfort.
