Peerless Medical Emperor

"Mr. Chen, you truly are a Divine Physician."

Patriarch Zheng said, his face alight with joy.

"Since you’re so eager for Young Master Zheng to wake up!"

"I can, in fact, force him to awaken, but it’s better for him to get some proper rest."

With that, Chen Qingdi prepared to act again, intending to forcibly rouse Young Master Zheng.

Hearing this, Patriarch Zheng quickly rushed in front of Chen Qingdi.

"There’s no need! It’s best to let him rest like this. There’s no hurry."

Patriarch Zheng said hastily.

When Patriarch Zheng said this, Chen Qingdi finally nodded.

"Fine, fine. You’re the one who said it,"

Chen Qingdi said.

Witnessing Chen Qingdi’s sublime acupuncture skills, Zhuge Yunduan, who stood to the side, was completely stunned.

"Young Master Zheng is much better now. Can I be allowed to leave?"

Zhuge Yunduan asked.

"Let him go."

Seeing that Young Master Zheng was much more stable, Patriarch Zheng felt a great weight lift from his shoulders and quickly nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, Patriarch Zheng."

Zhuge Yunduan was immensely grateful.

Zhuge Yunduan left quickly; he had no desire to stay and disgrace himself further.

"My deepest thanks, Divine Physician Chen."

"In three days, after the final treatment, once my son’s condition has improved, I will fulfill all my promises."

"I will give you one of the Zheng Family’s companies, as well as one of our family’s greatest treasures."

Patriarch Zheng said with a smile.

"Good."

"I trust that Patriarch Zheng won’t go back on his word,"

Chen Qingdi said with a smile.

"Of course not. I always keep my word,"

Patriarch Zheng said, smiling.

"That’s all I need to hear."

"I’ll be leaving now. I’ll come back tomorrow for the next treatment."

Chen Qingdi said.

"Why not stay for a meal before you go? It’s almost noon,"

Patriarch Zheng urged him to stay.

"There’s no need. I have many other things to take care of back home. I’ll pass for today."

Chen Qingdi shook his head.

"By the way, what time will you be coming to treat my son tomorrow?"

Patriarch Zheng asked.

"Tomorrow... around noon, I suppose,"

Chen Qingdi replied.

"Very well."

Patriarch Zheng nodded.

Chen Qingdi said nothing more. It was time for him to leave.

Just as he reached the main gate of the Zheng Family estate, he was surprised to see Situ Xian running toward him.

"Divine Physician Chen, please wait!"

Situ Xian called out loudly.

"Is something the matter?"

Chen Qingdi looked at Situ Xian, puzzled.

"Yes, there is indeed something I need your help with,"

Situ Xian said.

"Something you need my help with?"

Chen Qingdi was utterly confused.

"I have a son who also came to Jingxi with me, but he didn’t enter the Zheng estate."

"He’s too playful, and I was afraid he would get into trouble out there. But what I feared came to pass—he’s caused a disaster for me."

"Can you please help me and rescue my son?"

Situ Xian pleaded.

Chen Qingdi was completely baffled.

’With the Zheng Family as such a powerful backer, why is he coming to me? Is there some hidden reason?’

"Why? The Zheng Family is large and powerful in Jingxi. If you told them about your son’s problem, it should be resolved quickly."

"Why come to an outsider like me? I’ve only just arrived in Jingxi myself,"

Chen Qingdi said, his expression full of doubt.

"I just don’t want to owe the Zheng Family a favor. I would rather owe this favor to you."

"My son was lured by a woman and has now been captured by the Luo Family. They said they’ll only release him if I hand over my Spirit Jade Fragment,"

Situ Xian explained.

"Spirit Jade Fragment?"

Chen Qingdi was intrigued.

"Yes. The world is a strange and wondrous place. I received this Spirit Jade Fragment as a gift after I saved a very important person. The fragment contains a trace of Spiritual Energy, which is something all Martial Cultivators desire. They can absorb the Spiritual Energy within the fragment to enhance their power. That’s why they’ve always wanted it, and now they’re using my son to threaten me."

"I hope you can help me,"

Situ Xian said.

As he spoke, Situ Xian took out a small, antique box.

Seeing the small box in Situ Xian’s hand, a sharp glint flashed in Chen Qingdi’s eyes. He could deeply sense a vibrant pulse of Spiritual Energy emanating from within it.

’If I’m not mistaken, that must be the Spirit Jade Fragment.’

’But why would Situ Xian take out something so important right in front of me?’

’He’s only just met me. Does he trust me this much already?’

Just as he was thinking this, Situ Xian grabbed Chen Qingdi’s hand and pulled him toward a small grove of trees to the side.

"What is it?"

Chen Qingdi asked.

"There’s no one here. I’ll tell you, this box contains the Spirit Jade Fragment."

"I heard it was retrieved from the depths of a mountain range by several highly skilled Martial Cultivators."

"To me, this thing is just an ordinary piece of jade with nothing special about it, but that might not be the case for a Martial Cultivator like you,"

Situ Xian said.

"That’s right."

Chen Qingdi didn’t lie and nodded directly.

"This is for you, as long as you promise to rescue my son from the Luo Family."

"Can you do it?"

Situ Xian looked at Chen Qingdi.

"I can’t promise you that. And please, take this back,"

Chen Qingdi said.

Seeing Chen Qingdi refuse, Situ Xian was visibly stunned.

"Why?"

After a moment, Situ Xian finally couldn’t help but ask.

"I know nothing about the Luo Family or how powerful they are. And even if your son has been captured by them, I have no idea if he’s even at the Luo estate. I don’t know any of these things."

"So I can’t make you this promise. If I agreed and then failed, wouldn’t I be letting you down?"

Chen Qingdi explained.

Hearing Chen Qingdi’s explanation, Situ Xian laughed out loud.

"I was wondering what you were worried about. So that’s all it is."

"Just take it. As long as you go to the Luo Family and sincerely look for my son, I’ll accept it even if you can’t bring him back."

"I trust you. I don’t know why, but from the moment I first saw you, I felt a deep trust in you,"

Situ Xian said with a smile.

"Alright."

"Since you’ve put it that way, Senior, it would be rude of me to refuse any longer,"

Chen Qingdi said.

"That’s more like it. Just go and do it. I believe they won’t dare do anything truly terrible to my son. He’ll suffer a bit, at most. This old man still has some prestige. The more they want something, the more determined I am not to give it to them."

"Here, take the Spirit Jade Fragment."

Saying this, Situ Xian tried to shove the antique box into Chen Qingdi’s hands.

But Chen Qingdi pushed it away.

"I can’t accept this."

"Saving your son is no great trouble,"

Chen Qingdi said.
