1621 Someone Behind his Back (1/2)

Ye Xiao tidied things up and then calmly said, ”We have been talking for quite a while now. How do you feel? I should let you rest. You shouldn't get off the bed, and do not let your feet touch the floor yet. You know why? If you touch the ground, the Nine Sky Golden Qi will get back on you. I will take no responsibility if you choose to do the wrong thing.”

After that, before the old man had time to say anything, Ye Xiao left the room.

When Ye Xiao spoke, the old man was ready to get off the bed and step on the floor. As Ye Xiao spoke, he stopped his feet in the air.

'The young man actually knew the Nine Sky Golden Qi well. How did he know the qi on the ground will trigger the Nine Sky Golden Qi? I guess he can be right, though. In the system of five elements, metal comes from the earth. The land is slowly producing golden qi… I have been trying to absorb the spiritual qi from the sky and the earth before I came here, but it never made me feel better… Now I know the reason… I should push the spiritual qi out of my body first and let the Nine Sky Golden Qi die out… The Nine Sky Golden Qi is known to be extremely difficult to overcome. The young man actually figured out the secret behind it. That is impressive!'

The old man moved his feet back on the bed and continued thinking. 'The man is well-informed, experienced, and brilliant at medical techniques… His broad mind is impressive as well… It is good luck if I keep my word, and it is bad luck if I don't. He takes it as a bet. If I turn against him, he takes it as something destined to happen to him… It is true. Only time can tell. I am responsible for my own decisions, and he is responsible for his treatment. That is brilliant… Hah hah hah…'

Ye Xiao walked out and waved his hand. Du Qingkuang hastily came over.

Ye Xiao looked around and said in a low voice, ”Qingkuang, keep an eye on the old man. Don't let him step on the floor, and don't expose him under the sun. Seal the window on the roof. Take care of him. Don't piss him off. He is an old man after all.”

Du Qingkuang promised and then asked, ”Lord Monarch, the old man is unacceptably arrogant… We have saved so many people's lives since the Hall of Life and Death was established. I have never seen anybody as terrible as him. Do we have to treat him so politely? He owes us a favor for saving his life, and we don't owe him anything!”

Ye Xiao said in a serious tone, ”You help somebody, then you help him out. Since we gave him our treatments, we must make sure he is saved. We shouldn't care about whether he is a nice guy or not. You must take care of him. We don't need anything from him. Don't think too much of it. Let's make him well again and then he can go. Nothing else matters. Do you understand?”

Du Qingkuang said, ”I see. Nothing else matters!”

Deep in his heart, he was still confused. 'Since when did Lord Monarch become such a nice man? He used to be really arrogant when he faced his patients. Why is he so patient and nice now? He shouldn't be a doctor with a soft heart, should he?'

'This is weird!'

The old man peacefully lied on the bed in the room. His eyes glittered, and he humphed. After that, he started to murmur, ”Humph… Do you think I can't hear you if you speak somewhere outside? Well… What an interesting kid!”

Ye Xiao returned to his own room. He closed the door and smiled. 'It wouldn't be interesting if you couldn't hear me, old man…'

…

Ye Xiao felt much better after having a conversation with the old man. Now, he decided to continue some serious business. To question Master Xiao should be serious enough.
