Back at the hotel, Suiyi was exhausted from walking around. After Qi Muzhi helped her fall asleep, he gently kissed her forehead, opened the door, and left.
"Where are you going so late?" The older brother was still awake, reading a book in his hand.
"Um! I have something to take care of, so I probably won't be back tonight. You guys should get some sleep."
"Did you tell your wife?"
"No, it's nothing serious. I'll be back tomorrow."
"Okay, be careful."
After Qi Muzhi nodded, he opened the door and left.
"Hey, where are you?"
"Ah Yan, I'm all ready here in Jiucheng, just waiting for you to come."
"Okay!" I put down my phone, got in the car, and headed towards Jiucheng.
An hour later.
"You've finally arrived! I've prepared everything you asked me to. Are you feeling unwell?" the man asked, puzzled.
"Get a check-up. I've been feeling unwell lately, and I always have some pain."
"Okay! Follow me."
The man led Qi Muzhi towards a room, pushed open the door, and found medical equipment inside.
"Lie down, take off your clothes, let me check you out."
Qi Muzhi obeyed without hesitation, which showed that he trusted men a lot.
When Qi Muzhi lay down, the man operated the machine to give him a full examination.
"Alright!" Ten minutes later, Qi Mu stopped and picked up the clothes on the side to put on.
"The report will be out in five minutes. Please wait a moment," he said, looking at the man who was getting dressed.
"Huh? Why didn't you go to those prestigious hospitals for your checkup, but instead came to me?" he wondered.
"Because I trust you, and your place offers excellent security."
"Who are you trying to hide this from? Your wife?"
"Yes! I don't want her to worry. She's already endured enough."
"Alas! Even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman. I never thought that someone as carefree and ruthless as you would one day be so worried and concerned for others. You must be hopelessly entangled in the world of tenderness!"
"There are no absolutes in this world. Things are ever-changing and unpredictable. Even saints have desires and are just ordinary people. How much more so for people with emotions and desires? When they meet the right person, their hearts will not be unmoved."
"Indeed, the sweetest thing in this world is love, and the most painful thing is also love. Life is like walking through thorns. If the heart is still, the person will not act rashly, and will not be hurt. But if the heart is moved, the person will act rashly, hurting their body and bones, and thus experiencing all kinds of pain in the world. Although I have never experienced the kind of love that people in this world talk about, I think it's better not to get involved in it, considering how much you suffer because of it."
"You're wrong. Many things in this world will come when the time is right. Love isn't something you can just get by saying you don't want it. After you've sung about love, even the pain will be sweet."
"It seems your wife must be a rare heroine in this world, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to warm your heart of stone."
"She is one of a kind in this world."
Suddenly, the printer started clicking, and the two turned to look.
"The report is out." The man walked over, took out the report, and looked down at it.
The more I looked at it, the more shocked I became, my face filled with disbelief.
"how so?"
"What's wrong?" Qi Muzhi had a bad feeling.
"The above shows that your body's organs are beginning to fail, and there is no longer any regeneration of living blood cells. This means that every day you live is one day less."
Qi Muzhi remained silent. He wasn't particularly shocked by the result; instead, he felt as if this step had finally come to an end.
"Judging from your expression, you are aware of your physical condition, right?"
"Yes!" Of course I know, how could I not know? When I had Shui Qingxian send my soul to this world, he explained the implications to me.
As an outsider, he would find it difficult to find a suitable body in this world, and even if he did find one that met the conditions for possession, it would inevitably be a dying person.
When someone possesses another person, their soul leaves the body, leaving the body without vitality and causing it to gradually weaken until death.
"Then what will you do?"
"It's alright, this was inevitable. By the way, given my current rate of decline, how much longer do I have to live?"
"You...you mean to give up treatment?"
"It's not that I'm giving up on treatment, but there's nothing in this world that can be cured. Rather than wasting time on unfounded expectations, I'd rather spend more time with my loved ones and reduce regrets. Keep this a secret from everyone, okay?"
"You, alright! At the rate of your decline, you have two months left."
"That's enough!"
Qi Muzhi looked out the window, holding the report in his hand, his fingers tightening until the report crumpled into a ball.
"I'll prescribe some medicine for you and see if it works."
"No need. My wife has a very keen nose; she can smell even the slightest odor on me. So, to put her mind at ease, I don't need the medicine. Besides, medicine really is useless here!"
"You... love is truly powerful, it has changed you so much."
"By the way, if I leave in two months, could I ask you to do something for me?"
"What?"
"How about you take good care of my wife?"
"You..." she said, raising her hand as if to hit the man, but then she stopped herself, thinking of the man's physical condition.
"I can only lend a hand when she needs help; there's nothing else I can do."
"Okay! I will write a letter every day from now on. Please send these letters out on the correct dates."
"I really owe you something."
The man shook his head, glaring at him with a look of utter disappointment. He couldn't stand seeing someone so dejected and discouraged after only now realizing his own physical condition!
"By the way, the auction is tomorrow. Is there anything you're interested in?"
"Things... are you trying to make it up to me?"
Qi Muzhi looked at him without saying a word.
"I don't want the stuff, but I do want to see what this so-called Youluo Ring is like."
"Um!"
"Over the years, have you ever regretted killing your adoptive father and sitting on that blood-soaked chair?"
"No, I never had that thought. I even have to thank my godfather. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have met her, and I wouldn't be so happy."
She suddenly turned her head to look at the man in front of her who looked somewhat like her.
"After I leave, you'll be in charge of everything! Now that everything's settled, you just need to keep an eye on things!"
"Haven't you heard the saying that conquering a country is easy, but maintaining it is difficult? You should leave this kind of thing to your sworn brothers! I like my life now."
"what ever."
It has to be said that Lou Xiao's approach was correct, because although Qi Muzhi handed over his power to others, he basically used the money to please his wife.
After the fourth son inherited everything from him, he realized he had picked up a mess, and then he cursed at the sky.
