Along with Lin Feng, Lin Danian took his company of men and left dejectedly.
Xue An picked up Xue Xiang and Xue Nian, then said to Qin Yuan, “If I were to guess, you have at most three days of life left. Do you believe me?”
Qin Yuan went pale in the face as he lowered his head without uttering a single word.
Qin Yu simply couldn’t hold back anymore and sneered, “These days, even swindlers dare to carry out their activities in the open with such great fanfare? My grandfather just finished his health screening at the hospital. His bodily functions are all normal. You better stop kicking up dust on purpose, you—”
Xue An cast a look of indifference at Qin Yu, and his look was so intense that it made her feel as though her entire being was being sucked away. She was unable to continue whatever she had wanted to say.
At this point in time, Qin Yuan smiled bitterly and said, “Mr. Xue, you are truly someone extraordinary.”
“Grandfather, why do you believe the words of a violent maniac?” Qin Yu was high on anxiety, afraid that her grandfather would be fooled by this man again.
“Yu’er, don’t be rude. What Mr. Xue said was the same as what Great Physician Gao personally told me when I was in Middle Capital last year!”
Great Physician Gao!
The moment Qin Yu heard the mention of this name, she was rendered speechless.
In the whole Middle Capital, Great Physician Gao’s divine physician skills were irrefutably considered second to none.
If he said that someone would die at a certain time, that person would die at that time, accordingly.
With a bitter smile, Qin Yuan said, “Yu’er, do you know why I called you back home from abroad? It’s because I’m worried that one fine day, when I’m no longer around, you won’t be able to master full control of the massive Longtai Group that’ll be placed in your hands!”
Qin Yu’s eyes went red as she said, choking, “Grandfather, let’s go to the Middle Capital now. We’ll find Great Physician Gao and ask him to treat you!”
Qin Yuan shook his head and said, “Silly child. If I could have been cured, Great Physician Gao wouldn’t have spoken the way he did last year!”
Qin Yu was beginning to despair as she said, “Then we shall go abroad. I know many top-notch doctors abroad. I’m sure they’ll be able to cure you!”
Qin Yuan shook his head. In a dreary tone, he said, “It’s useless! Just like the health screening today, it’s impossible to find anything wrong with my body!”
Xue An suddenly spoke. “What if I said I could cure your illness?”
Qin Yuan’s expression reflected his growing excitement as he said, “Mr. Xue, you can really cure me of my illness?”
Xue An nodded and replied, “Of course, but you have to give me suitable compensation.”
Without waiting for Qin Yuan to say anything, Qin Yu sneered and said, “Just as I expected. Aren’t you selling yourself? The moment you open your mouth to speak, the first thing you ask for is money?”
Xue An gave a slight frown and asked, “Do you know how full of nonsense you are?”
The disparagement she received had Qin Yu at a loss for words.
Qin Yuan, on the other hand, was very worked up. “Great! Mr. Xue, if I may ask, when will you treat my illness?”
“It’s too late today. Tomorrow, then!”
“Alright then. If it’s convenient for you, Mr. Xue, you can stay at my place. After all, it’ll be more convenient there!”
Xue An thought for a while, then he nodded and said, “Alright! But my children are coming with me!”
“No problem!”
Of course, Qin Yuan had a full-time chauffeur.
It didn’t take a long time before a very low-key Audi A8 drove to them.
Qin Yuan personally opened the door for Xue An.
Qin Yu felt the situation was getting more and more out of hand. She had always thought that this man was unreliable, but her own grandfather was extremely convinced of his capabilities. There was nothing Qin Yu could do.
But after giving it some thought, Qin Yu’s eyes lit up. She secretly took out her phone and sent a message: Very well, come tomorrow. You’re in for a treat!
Qin Yuan resided in a big villa on the outskirts of the city.
There was tight security there amid the picturesque scenery.
After getting out of the car, Xue An felt that the Spiritual Qi of this place seemed somewhat stronger than that of the outside world.
Qin Yuan sensed Xue An’s surprise and couldn’t help laughing. He asked, “Mr. Xue, what can you see?”
“This villa of yours, you’ve received guidance from someone in the know. No wonder you’ve been able to live this long!” Xue An said.
Qin Yuan felt shocked. Unknowingly, the hope in his eyes grew, the look on his face increasingly more respectful.
“Mr. Xue is indeed a man of superiority! I paid a fortune to engage a Feng Shui master just so that this villa could be built to completion!”
“What a pity. That master only possessed superficial knowledge!” Xue An said lightly.
As for the two little girls, Xue Xiang and Xue Nian, at that very moment, their eyes couldn’t seem to take in enough of what they could see. All this while, they were looking at everything in their surroundings with great curiosity.
“Mr. Xue, you haven’t had dinner. What would you like to eat? I’ll have someone prepare it for you!” Qin Yuan said.
It didn’t matter whether Xue An ate or not, but his two daughters couldn’t go hungry.
“What do you two feel like eating?” Xue An asked with a broad smile.
Qin Yu was watching everything from the sidelines. In her heart, she was secretly criticizing Xue An. She thought, “This person is simply schizophrenic. To other people, he puts on a cold and inapproachable front, but to these two little girls, he’s so gentle.”
Xue Xiang and Xue Nian looked at each other, then said in unison, “Egg fried rice!”
“Alright! Then egg fried rice it’ll be!” It was almost as if Xue An had become a slave to his daughters. So long as it was something the two little ladies asked for, he would agree to it unconditionally.
Qin Yuan, on the other hand, was a little dumbstruck and asked, “Just… egg fried rice?”
Xue An nodded.
The egg fried rice was served very quickly, and from the presentation and fragrance of the food, anyone could tell that it was definitely the work of a great chef.
The moment these two little girls tasted their first mouthful of rice, their eyes widened.
“How is it? Does it taste bad?”
“Papa, it’s so delicious!” Xue Xiang finished chewing then lowered her head to feast on her food.
It was only then that Xue An finally smiled.
The two young girls ate very quickly. A bowl of egg fried rice was soon in each of their bellies, and the bowls were so clean that not even half a grain was left.
“Are you girls full?” Xue An asked as a coddling father.
“We’re so full!” Xue Xiang patted her little belly.
Xue Nian, on the other hand, burped with great contentment.
The way they looked was simply too adorable for words.
Qin Yu herself couldn’t help smiling as she thought to herself how cold this man could be, which was abhorrent, but also how incredibly likable his two little girls were!
Qin Yuan ordered his people to arrange the rooms while Xue An brought his two girls back into the house.
In the living room, only Qin Yuan and Qin Yu were left.
Qin Yu said, “Grandfather, why must you believe this man? I still feel that he’s not a good person!”
“Why?”
“Because… of the look in his eyes!”
Qin Yuan smiled and said, “Yu’er, you’re still young. There are many things you’ve yet to understand. Though you’ve spent many years abroad to study and you’ve also formed acquaintances with many people, but what you don’t know is what a truly superior master looks like!
“A so-called superior master must have something that’s different from ordinary people. This young man might be dressed in very ordinary clothes, but every move he makes is different from that of an ordinary man, especially his demeanor. Even when I was in the Middle Capital, I never saw such a remarkable character!”
Qin Yu was, on the contrary, feeling somewhat disdainful inside.
“Hmm, come tomorrow, I’ll see to it that you make a big fool of yourself in front of Grandfather. Then we’ll see if you still have the face to continue your stay here,” she thought.
Late at night, the two little girls had fallen into a deep sleep.
Xue An stood by the window, where the moonlight of the winter
night shone in. It felt cold, like a thin veil.
Xue An opened up the little medicine box.
It held the ginseng that had ended up in his possession earlier that day.
There were also some medicinal herbs that he had bought from the marketplace.
Xue An held the herbs in his hand, and his eyes suddenly flashed with coldness. Under the moonlight, these medicinal herbs gradually started to melt.
Soon, the herbs melted into a small ball, which in turn, was suspended in mid-air, where it revolved continuously.
A hint of a smile appeared at the corners of Xue An’s lips.
Though the medicinal herbs weren’t considered to be of very good quality, given his cultivation and vision, refining these ingredients into a Core Reinforcement Pill was simply a piece of cake. He was well-versed in utilizing these techniques. His experience allowed him to manipulate them with great ease, thus he could still refine every Core Reinforcement Pill to a very high level.
At that moment, even the moonlight seemed to be aroused, while the calm Spiritual Qi of the entire villa was also beginning to stir.
