As she exhaled, Yun Ruoyan trembled. She had completely fallen for him. Before, she had focused on her studies and work, and with her engagement, she had never been in contact with a man.
In addition, she was particularly sensitive, and Ye Xingchen's teasing made her feel weak all over.
"Alright, I'm going back now. I'll give you 500 million to manage in a week." Ye Xingchen chuckled mischievously. He suddenly withdrew his hand. He definitely wanted to take advantage of this woman, but not today. This was called playing hard to get.
Yun Ruoyan was furious. Ye Xingchen's sudden departure made her feel like something was missing. Watching Ye Xingchen leave, she stomped her foot heavily and then hurriedly went back.
She felt so unwell that she needed to go back and take a shower.
Just as Ye Xingchen was about to go back, he received a call from Old Master Xue, asking him to go to Xue's Clinic.
Judging from his tone, he wanted Ye Xingchen's help with something. Xue Changchun had given Ye Xingchen a needle as a gift, so Ye Xingchen still had to give him face.
The Xue family is a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners with a history spanning hundreds of years. Their ancestors once served in the Imperial Medical Academy during the Qing Dynasty.
The huanghuali wood plaque in Xue's clinic that reads "Miraculous Healing Hands" was personally inscribed by the emperor. This golden signboard firmly secured Xue's position as the number one medical institution in the world, and Xue Changchun's title of "King of Medicine" was well-deserved.
Xue's clinic is a two-story ancient-style building, filled with the aroma of medicine. The backyard is a residence. When Ye Xingchen arrived, an old man was playing chess and chatting with Xue Lao.
Standing next to the old man was a man in his thirties. The man's eyes were gleaming with a sharp light, and his body was filled with internal energy. He was clearly a master of internal martial arts, and his strength was at least at the Yellow Realm.
A person who can travel with a Yellow Realm expert as a bodyguard is definitely not a simple person.
"Mr. Ye has arrived." When Old Xue saw Ye Xingchen, he quickly stood up and said with a smile, "Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Zhou Bingchen from the Australian Peninsula."
"Is he Mr. Zhou, the gambling king?" Ye Xingchen looked at the old man in surprise.
The renowned gambling tycoon of the Australian Peninsula has a net worth of 600 billion and monopolizes nearly 60% of the gambling industry in the Australian Peninsula.
"Hehe, I don't deserve such praise. Old Xue, is this the Mr. Ye you mentioned? He's quite young, isn't he?" Zhou Bingchen sat in his wheelchair, smiling as he looked at Ye Xingchen.
“That’s right, Lao Zhou. Don’t underestimate Mr. Ye just because he’s young. His medical skills far surpass mine. I’m afraid only he can cure your old ailment,” Old Xue said with a smile.
"Hmph, Grandpa, I'm a little skeptical," a girl next to Zhou Bingchen snorted, looking at Ye Xingchen with disdain. "You're just a young upstart, unreliable. I think we should go to the European and American World Medical Center instead."
"Miaoqing, don't be rude." Zhou Bingchen's face darkened. No matter what, Ye Xingchen was introduced by Elder Xue.
"How am I being rude? Hey kid, do you know anything about traditional Chinese medicine?" Zhou Miaoqing was the granddaughter of the gambling king and had been spoiled since childhood. She raised her head and said, "If you can cure my grandfather's illness, you can name your own consultation fee."
"In Mr. Zhou's case, it is likely that blood stasis obstructs the meridians, causing imbalances in the body's Yin and Yang and the five elements, which then stagnate in the legs and eventually lead to illness."
Ye Xingchen said calmly, "If I'm not mistaken, the illness has lasted for at least ten years, and because of the damp heat and miasma, Mr. Zhou has been to the Southern Xinjiang region, hasn't he?"
“Mr. Ye is right, I have indeed been to the Southern Xinjiang.” Zhou Bingchen’s expression changed slightly, and he immediately put away his contempt for Ye Xingchen: “When I was young, I liked to explore, and once I was camping alone in the mountains.”
"Unexpectedly, a miasma appeared in the mountains at night. After I inhaled it, I couldn't move. I was rescued by local villagers at dawn. Although I recovered at that time, I was left with a leg ailment and became paralyzed in both legs more than ten years ago."
“That’s right. Southern Xinjiang is hot, humid, and toxic. You were poisoned back then, and that’s the illness you developed,” Ye Xingchen said calmly.
"You know my grandfather's condition without taking his pulse?" Zhou Miaoqing asked suspiciously.
“Miss Zhou, I have not revealed your grandfather’s condition to Mr. Ye. Mr. Ye’s medical skills are unparalleled, and he has reached the level of observing qi.” Xue Changchun said.
"Why wouldn't I believe it?" Zhou Miaoqing snorted. "There are so many tricks these con artists use. Who knows if he's learned about my grandfather's condition through other channels?"
Ye Xingchen was somewhat displeased: "On our first meeting, you've already labeled me a con artist? Is this how you ask for help?"
“My grandfather has an extraordinary status. When he sees patients, countless experts are scrambling to get their hands on him. You’re lucky to have found him. If it weren’t for Grandpa Xue’s introduction, who would even know you?” Zhou Miaoqing said with disdain.
Ye Xingchen was amused by his own anger. He nodded and said, "Fine then, you take your grandfather to find those experts and professors. I'm not going to serve you anymore."
He glanced at Zhou Miaoqing's chest: "Your breasts are quite large, you probably have hyperplasia, right? If you're not careful, they could turn into cancer. You'd better watch out."
"You..." Zhou Miaoqing was both shocked and angry. She had a lump in her chest, which was only recently discovered to be hyperplasia. No one around her knew about this. How did Ye Xingchen know?
"Also, Mr. Zhou has spots on his tongue now, right?" Ye Xingchen said. "If I'm not mistaken, he has purpura on his legs, and there are lumps when you press on them. In severe cases, it may even bleed."
"This is due to poor blood circulation and stagnation in the blood vessels. Be careful, or it may require amputation."
"Mr. Xue, since the patient doesn't trust my skills, I'll take my leave now." Ye Xingchen said goodbye and turned to leave.
Zhou Bingchen's expression changed drastically. After the consultation with the Western doctors, the proposed solution was indeed amputation. He came to Xue Changchun with a glimmer of hope that he could be cured, but Ye Xingchen saw through it at a glance.
"Mr. Ye, please wait." Xue Changchun hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay, but the other party had already left.
“Old Zhou, Old Ning’s ALS was already at a critical point, but Mr. Ye cured him with a single acupuncture treatment. Your disease really can’t be cured except by him.”
Xue Changchun was speechless: "I risked my reputation to invite him here. Don't you even trust me?"
"Grandpa Xue, is he... is he really that amazing?" Zhou Miaoqing regretted her decision. "Then I'll go ask him now. Money makes the world go round. I don't believe he would turn down money."
Ye Xingchen was about to leave, but as she passed by a secluded courtyard, she saw a girl in a white dress, holding a book and reading quietly.
There were many small flowers planted in the yard, and several lush green bamboos beside her. She looked extremely serene as she focused on reading.
She herself is like a fairy descended to earth, untouched by worldly affairs.
As Ye Xingchen was staring blankly, the girl raised her head, and the moment she did, Ye Xingchen couldn't help but shiver.
Her gaze was cold, her clear eyes conveying a sense of indifference towards everything. Just that one glance made Ye Xingchen feel a chill run through his body.
The girl gave Ye Xingchen a cold glance, then turned and went back into the house, leaving Ye Xingchen bewildered in the wind.
"She's not normal," was a thought that surged into Ye Xingchen's mind, but the girl had already gone back inside, so Ye Xingchen had no choice but to leave.
"Ye Xingchen." He had just stepped out when Zhou Miaoqing and her entourage caught up with him.
