Qin Yuan immediately took out a card with a black background and golden letters, and presented it respectfully.
“Master Xue, this card is a token of my appreciation, though it may not be very impressive!”
Xue An didn’t decline and casually put it into his pocket before he turned to the two little girls who were engrossed in watching TV in the distance and said, “Let’s go, follow daddy home!”
But at this moment, Qin Yuan suddenly turned pale, his body swayed, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, collapsing onto the sofa.
“Grandfather!” Qin Yu was shocked and hurried over.
Qin Yuan’s eyes were lifeless, and even his breathing began to weaken.
“What’s happened to my grandfather?” Qin Yu asked anxiously.
Hua Xingyu quickly stepped forward to take Qin Yuan’s pulse, then his eyebrows knitted tightly together.
“Old Master Qin’s pulse is barely perceptible. His yang energy is extremely weak; it’s a sign of impending death!”
Qin Yu shouted at Xue An, “What’s going on? Didn’t you say you would save my grandfather?”
Xue An replied indifferently, “He has been possessed by a malevolent spirit for so long, his yang energy has been nearly depleted! Now that the evil spirit is gone, it’s natural for him to be close to death!”
“What should we do? Master Hua, can my grandfather be saved?” Tears flowed down Qin Yu’s cheeks.
Hua Xingyu shook his head, “With his condition now, even a century-old ginseng wouldn’t be enough to sustain his breath! Prepare for his final affairs!”
Qin Yu knelt before Xue An with a thud, “Mr. … Mr. Xue, I know I have not been very respectful to you, but please save my grandfather! As long as you save him, I’ll agree to anything!”
Xue An’s expression was calm; he didn’t have any particular fondness for Qin Yu.
He also knew that she was behind today’s events.
Just then, Xue Xiang secretly tugged at Xue An’s clothes and whispered, “Daddy, that sister looks so pitiful!”
Xue An only ever showed tenderness when facing his two daughters.
“Then what do you suggest we do, Xiang Xiang?”
While attentively eating an orange, Xue Nian suddenly spoke up, “Dad, please help this sister, she looks so ugly when she cries!”
Qin Yu found herself in a predicament between tears and laughter.
For Xue An, his daughters’ words were a decree; he casually took out the Primordial Essence Elixir that had been refined from leftover medicine residue, “Eat this, and you’ll be fine!”
When Hua Xingyu saw the Primordial Essence Elixir, his eyes widened and he began to breathe rapidly.
“This… this…”
Hua Tingting was a little puzzled, “Grandfather, what’s wrong?”
“May I have a look at this elixir?” Hua Xingyu was like a child seeing a beloved toy.
Xue An nodded and tossed the elixir over casually.
Hua Xingyu caught it in a fluster, staring greedily at the Primordial Essence Elixir for a while before exclaiming repeatedly.
“The work of a Heavenly Being, truly the work of a Heavenly Being!”
Then Hua Xingyu bowed to Xue An, “Mr. Xue, I, Hua Xingyu, have spent my life in medicine and have never admired anyone; not even that fellow Gao Shen do I acknowledge, but today, I am thoroughly convinced in both my heart and words!”
“Oh, you really know your stuff!” Xue An said.
After the elixir was administered to Qin Yuan, within a few minutes, his previously pale cheeks began to regain their rosiness.
Soon, Qin Yuan recovered completely.
Not only that, but even the wrinkles on his face and his white hair had largely diminished.
If Qin Yuan looked like a man in his seventies before, he now appeared to be in his fifties.
This miraculous sight also filled Hua Xingyu with excitement.
As for Hua Tingting, she was utterly astounded.
Rejuvenation!
If someone had told Hua Tingting before today that someone could achieve this with an unassuming elixir, she would have thought that person was a swindler.
But the reality unfolding before her left Hua Tingting speechless.
From childhood, the three views established by science came crashing down.
Thinking of her recent mockery of Xue An,
Hua Tingting’s face couldn’t help but burn with fever.
She couldn’t resist stealing glances at Xue An.
It was then that Hua Tingting realized…
This man is so handsome!
It was mainly because Xue An had an air of authority about him that made him seem like a lofty emperor, intimidating yet compelling people to keep a respectful distance.
Hua Tingting’s heartbeat involuntarily quickened.
At this moment, having learned about everything that had just happened and sensing the anomaly on himself, Qin Yuan paid a deep bow to Xue An.
“Mr. Xue! From today onwards, if you need anything, just say the word, and Longtai Group will devote itself fully, not daring any negligence!”
The weight of this promise changed the expressions of Qin Yu, Hua Tingting, and others.
Only Hua Xingyu looked at Qin Yuan with envy.
He knew, this was far from enough.
Just that Primordial Essence Elixir alone, Hua Xingyu believed, if it appeared in Zhongdu, or if those noble families and grand houses came to know of it, would surely set off a bloody storm.
After all, an elixir that could make an old man with white hair turn young, was something Hua Xingyu admitted he couldn’t achieve, nor could that Divine Doctor in Zhongdu, and not even all the holy hands of medicine throughout the world could do it.
Now, even if Qin Yuan were to give Longtai Group directly to Xue An, it wouldn’t be too much.
After all, when compared to life, what’s wealth but nothing!
But Xue An just nodded slightly.
“Understood.”
Then Xue An said to Qin Yu, “You just said that if I saved your grandfather, you would do anything, right?”
Qin Yu’s heart tightened, and with steely courage, she said, “Yes!”
“Good, then you drive us home!”
Qin Yu sighed with relief, but deep down felt a faint disappointment.
Hua Xingyu was anxious, “Master, master, did you forget about our bet? You said that if I lost, you would take me or my granddaughter as your disciple!”
Xue An said indifferently, “Really? Did I say that?”
Hua Xingyu nodded vigorously, “You did, you did!”
“But I’ve changed my mind now; you’re too old, and your granddaughter… has too poor a talent in medicine! And too foolish!” After saying this, Xue An strode away.
Hua Tingting stood there, stunned. In her life, she’d never been called stupid.
“Grandpa, don’t mind him, what’s with all the arrogance?”
Hua Xingyu shook his head and with a bow to Qin Yuan left the room.
Once in the courtyard, looking at the lush greenery that clashed with the cold winter, Hua Xingyu finally let out a long sigh, “Tingting, you don’t understand, this man, his story might be even more formidable than we can imagine!”
Hua Tingting remained silent.
Hua Xingyu casually plucked a leaf, “In this life, to be able to witness such skills, to meet such a person, I, Hua Xingyu, have not lived in vain! Alas, ’tis fate to meet but not destined to connect!”
Qin Yu personally drove the car, taking Xue An and his two daughters back to the apartment complex.
The people in the complex were stunned by the opulent Maybach, all sneaking glances from a distance.
As Xue An was about to get out of the car, he suddenly said, “Has your Qin Family offended someone?”
Qin Yu immediately caught on, “Mr. Xue, you mean…”
“That malevolent ghost is being manipulated!” Xue An said as he got out of the car and walked away.
Qin Yu sat in the car for a moment, then took out her phone and dialed a number.
“Lao Hei, order someone to start investigating. The old man’s illness, someone’s conspiring behind the scenes!”
