Note: Announcement at the end of the chapter
Here comes the business.
This was not the time to act high and mighty. After waiting for such a long time just for the right target, he could not afford to let the roasted duck to slip away. [E.N: watch out he wants to eat the middle aged man if you know what i mean ;)]
It was within this period of time that his daughter would be in her rapid growth phase; He needed money to buy nutritious food for her and even more, money to buy clothes and toys. If he as a father did not work hard now, how could he possibly leave a memorable and happy childhood for the little kiddo.
Hence, when Chen Xi spotted his target, he immediately began to actively walk towards them.
Only if he acted actively would something happen in between them… (TN:I see, he wants to be the dominant one {E.N: He is trying to find a sugar daddy})
After walking out of the hospital, both of them turned and walked towards the parking lot behind the hospital. It seemed like they drove a car here.[E.N: No they didn’t, their flying sword is parked there obviously]
Chen Xi followed them to the parking lot. He waited until there weren't many people, he passed by them with a quick step and stretched out a hand to block their path.
"Little bro, is there any problem?"
Although Chen Xi's actions were a bit impolite, the middle aged man remained calm and asked nicely.
So as not to be lumped in together with the scammers outside the hospital, Chen Xi pondered for a while before deciding to get to the point.
He immediately cut to the chase and said, "You are sick. I can cure you."
Chen Xi's eyes shone with honesty as he attempted to make his words more persuasive.
"I am sick?"
When the middle aged man heard it, he could not help but froze for awhile.
Before the middle aged man could recover from his surprise, the woman by his side could not hold back any longer.
"It's you who is sick,[E.N: read it as "no, u"]!" she retorted in a high pitched voice.
After that, she glared at Chen Xi with hatred as she slotted her arm through the middle aged man’s arms, dragging him away. [E.N: Chen Xi better mark his territory quickly]
"Dad, let's go. Ignore these crazy people."[E.N this is getting spicy, Yaoi or Family]
Chen Xi ignored the woman and once again, he blocked the middle aged man, and said with a face full of sincerity.
"Aye, wait up, you really are sick. I'm not lying to you."
A Venerated Immortal such as him had to personally visit his customers just to earn money, and he even had to be all smiles when faced with coldness.
Ah, such is life…
Almost as if he was impressed by Chen Xi's genuinity, the middle aged man motioned the woman not to worry and asked looking at Chen Xi, "Little bro, you said that I am sick. So tell me, what kind of sickness do I have?"
"Can I check your pulse?"
"Sure."
The man nodded his head and stretched out his right hand.[E.N: God knows where that hands been]
Chen Xi grasped his wrist in an unorthodox technique for pulse checking.
A short while later, Chen Xi let loose of his hand and said with utmost certainty, "Your injury is very serious. You might not be able to live past 50."[E.N: Sherlock 45 is when you become middle aged….]
"What a joke!"
The woman was evidently angered by Chen Xi as she laughed sardonically, "My dad is already 52 and you dare to say that he cannot live beyond 50? Let me warn you, if you don't walk away now you will have to bear the consequences!"
Immediately the woman took out the car keys and opened the car, then pulled the middle-aged man directly to the car not far away.
"Already 52?"
Chen Xi was dumbfounded.
He could not believe that he would even misdiagnosed his first patient.
To think that he would even misdiagnosed his first patient.
This shouldn't be the case…
This doesn't make sense…
Although the middle aged man might looked robust and powerful, if one looked closely, there would be a few abnormal pale shades on his face.
Despite striding with powerful movements, Chen Xi knew that the middle aged man was trying his best to display a healthy image but he could collapse anytime it'd be extremely difficult without superhuman eyesight
Hence, Chen Xi proposed to measure his pulse so as to further investigate his illness.
During this period of time since he had arrived, Chen Xi managed to re-cultivate a minuscule amount of Qi.
It was because of the Qi that he sent into the middle-aged man’s body that Chen Xi was able to precisely identify his illness while measuring his pulse.
His internal organs are severely damaged.
Strangely it seemed that the injury in this middle-aged man is wasn’t a result of a single event, but like a long-term uninterrupted injury, just like someone holding a knife, and the knife is constantly slashing his internal organs.
Amongst all his injuries, his lungs were the most crippled. The wound was long festered, and based on Chen Xi's estimate, the middle aged man's injuries might not recover even if he went in immediate surgery.
Assessing the situation, Chen Xi glanced at the man that was about to board the car and said, "I don't know what method you used to increase your vitality, but based on your current situation, there is a chance you will die violently and without time to react…"
The middle aged man immediately halted in his tracks after hearing this.
When he turned around, His previously calm temperament melted.
He frowned, "Little bro, you really have the medical skills to cure me?"
"I can cure you," Chen Xi nodded with confirmation.
"Really?"
"Absolutely."
"What do you want in return?"
"Money."
"How much?"
Chen Xi glanced at the old model A6 car behind the middle aged man and after a few moments of pondering, he said, "¥100,000."
"Deal."
At first, Chen Xi was questioning if the starting price was unreasonable. If the man wanted to negotiate the price, then ¥50,000 was also possible…
If the other party still found it too expensive, then ¥20,000 would do too.
As long as he receives jobs, there will always be money coming in.
What surprised Chen Xi was that when he named his price, the middle aged man agreed without a shred of hesitation.
At this moment, the woman that opened the car door began to get anxious.
She carried a small purse and hurried towards the middle aged man in her high heels.
She anxiously called out."Dad!"
The middle aged man waved his hand, indicating her to keep calm. Instantly, she flew into a rage as she stomped her feet and coldly reproached Chen Xi, "Who are you trying to con? My dad is not sick! Dad, we are at the hospital, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? We can go and check now, don't listen to all these con men!"
"Qiu Tong! Enough!"
The woman was clearly infuriated.
However, the middle aged man did not listen to her and after hearing her words, he immediately reprimanded her to stop.
"Dad!" She exclaimed, nearly shouting.looking like she was about to break down in a heap of tears.
Upon seeing her face filled with grievance and anxiety, His complexion lightened and patted her shoulder as he said gently, " Qiu Tong, you board the car first. Dad will explain to you on the way back.":
Maybe due to their good family upbringing, after hearing his words, she obediently boarded the car.
However, before she left, she viciously glared at Chen Xi, glaring him to the core.
How dare the con man lie to her father? I will have to show him that we are not to be messed with.
After cursing him in her mind, the woman immediately took out her phone from her purse and hurriedly sent a message.
Meanwhile, outside the car.
The middle-aged man waited for his daughter to get on the bus, he looked at Chen Xi seriously: “Money is not a problem, but I hope that you really fix my condition , otherwise…”
Although he did not say the finish his statement, the meaning behind it was already crystal clear.[E.N: for those who didn't understand it means he will not allow Chen Xi to bang him]
Chen Xi nodded his head, indicating that he understood it.
"So, how are you going to cure me?"
