Chapter 651: Chapter 651: The Ancestor’s Healing

Jiangli seemed to be unaware of the scrutinizing glances from Uncle Du and Zhu Ming as he spoke directly, "I’ve temporarily sealed your meridians, so the Yin Energy won’t regenerate, but your wound is very real. Just have a doctor come and treat it for you. Remove the silver needles after ten minutes."

Zhu Ming snapped out of his stupor and hurriedly nodded, his cheeks reddening, somewhat awkwardly he thanked him, "Thank you... thank you very much..."

Jiangli responded indifferently, "No need for thanks. I charge two hundred thousand for an external consultation; just pay the consultation fee."

Zhu Ming: "..."

Damn it, why is the price going up again?

Zhu Ming looked at Jiangli in astonishment.

Jiangli seemed to know what he was thinking and added, "One million six hundred thousand is the price for requesting my presence. This two hundred thousand is the consultation fee, understand?"

Zhu Ming: "..."

If he couldn’t see that Jiangli was targeting him and deliberately demanding an exorbitant price, then he was just a complete idiot.

But...

Zhu Ming could definitely feel his wound healing. What could he say?

Now all he could do was to swallow his bitterness in silence and accept his fate.

Grinding his teeth, he said, "Fine, two hundred thousand it is... just two hundred thousand..."

Jiangli stated, "Good, pay up now. Your injury doesn’t prevent you from using your phone."

With that, Jiangli gestured with his fingers.

Xia Xin obediently took out his phone, flipped to the payment code, and handed it to Zhu Ming, maintaining a courteous smile, "Just scan here will do."

Zhu Ming: "..."

Is this even possible?

They’re asking him for money before he’s even left the sickbed!

Where is justice in this?

Zhu Ming felt a rush of frustration but dared not voice out. Glowering, he took out his phone and made the payment.

Shortly after, Xia Xin’s phone received a substantial amount of money.

Seeing this money, Xia Xin couldn’t help but be taken aback internally.

The ancestors were right!

This truly was a lucrative job, with people delivering them a fortune!

When Jiangli saw the money had come in, he declared, "This matter here is concluded. Chief Xun, let’s go check on the Wei Family."

Xun Tianhai came back to his senses, having witnessed Zhu Ming’s transaction the entire time.

The sight of that large sum of money even caused him distress.

However, at this moment, the pain was the last thing on his mind.

Hearing Jiangli’s words, Xun Tianhai immediately responded, "Right, let’s go take a look now."

Jiangli nodded and took the lead, striding out of the sickroom first.

Seeing this, Xia Xin promptly put away his phone and hurried after him like an eager assistant.

Xun Tianhai then turned to Uncle Du and said politely, "Uncle Du, we’ll be going ahead."

Uncle Du nodded slightly.

Xun Tianhai and Bai Changfeng, among others, quickly followed out after Jiangli and Xia Xin.

Uncle Du watched them leave and, the next second, followed them.

Just as Jiangli left the sickroom, he heard Uncle Du’s voice coming from behind.

"Abbot, please wait a moment."

Jiangli halted in his steps and turned around to look.

He saw Uncle Du parting the crowd to approach.

Jiangli’s eyebrows rose slightly, "What is it?"

Uncle Du greeted Jiangli with a clasped hand gesture, showing utmost courtesy, "There’s nothing else. I just wanted to inquire about the meaning of the words you spoke to me earlier."

Jiangli wasn’t at all surprised by the question. Instead, he asked, "You are also a Taoist Doctor."

She stated it as a matter of fact.

From the beginning, she had noticed a faint, almost imperceptible scent of medicine on Uncle Du and had thus identified his identity.

Her cautionary words were offered in consideration of their shared lineage and discipline.

Uncle Du bowed slightly, "Indeed, but my talents are not as profound as the Abbot’s."

He offered a polite and humble smile.

But Jiangli retorted, "That’s for certain."

Uncle Du: "..."

He was just being polite; he didn’t genuinely mean to lavish praise!

Uncle Du’s face twitched but he maintained his smile, "The Abbot is correct. I’m not sure what you meant. Please enlighten me further."

Jiangli spoke coolly, "Seeing as we are of the same Taoist lineage, I’ll give you a hint. Have you perhaps gone against the Heavenly Dao by telling someone’s fortune when you shouldn’t have?"
