419: Chapter 419 The Birthday Gift That Shocked Everyone 419: Chapter 419 The Birthday Gift That Shocked Everyone Ming Xizhi walked along, casting a sympathetic glance at Zhang Feng, thinking that offending Qin Han was likely going to spell misfortune for the poor guy.

“Mr.

Qin!” At that moment, a voice indeed arose from behind Qin Han.

The group turned to look, only to see a youth who appeared gentle and scholarly, but whose eyes carried a sullen shadow.

“Do we know each other?” Qin Han asked, puzzled.

Ming Xizhi frowned upon seeing the man, wondering if this fellow intended to stand up for Zhang Feng.

He then spoke with visible displeasure, “Xu Zhengyang, today is the old master’s birthday!”

Ming Xizhi left his next sentence unspoken, but the message was clear: it would be better not to cause any trouble on this particular day!

“You’ve misunderstood, Elder Ming!” Xu Zhengyang said with a smile, and then turned to bow respectfully to Qin Han.

“Mr.

Qin, thank you for showing mercy the last time in Zhongzhou.”

He then greeted Song Yuwei, “This must be Mrs.

Qin, truly a beauty!”

“He’s one of the other faction’s sons from that family who came to Zhongzhou last time!” Ming Xizhi whispered close to Qin Han’s ear.

Qin Han then realized who they were.

“That’s because you all had the sense to recognize your place!

There’s no need to thank me!” Qin Han said indifferently.

Xu Zhengyang didn’t seem at all embarrassed by Qin Han’s words; instead, he continued with a smile, “I had hoped to make your acquaintance last time in Zhongzhou, Mr.

Qin, but sadly, due to certain individuals, a misunderstanding arose between us—a pity, indeed!”

“My Xu family has long admired Mr.

Qin.

Should there be any need for my family’s assistance, please do not hesitate to ask.

We shall endeavor to be of service and will certainly not act against the lady in secret like the Li family did!”

Hearing this, Qin Han stared intently at Xu Zhengyang without saying a word.

Xu Zhengyang felt uneasy under Qin Han’s gaze, yet managed to feign composure as he said, “Mr.

Qin, the way you look at me…”

“I enjoy communicating with smart people, but I don’t like those who take me for a fool nor those who wish to use me as a pawn,” Qin Han said, his eyes cold as he regarded Xu Zhengyang.

“I know the relationship between the Zhongzhou Xu family and the capital’s Xu family.

As long as you don’t provoke me in the future, I won’t make things difficult for you, out of respect for the Zhongzhou Xu family.

Take care of yourself!” With that, Qin Han walked away.

Ming Xizhi turned back to give Xu Zhengyang a meaningful look, his expression mockingly amused, “Young Master Xu, the smart man seems to have made a foolish move this time!”

Without giving Xu Zhengyang any further attention, Ming Xizhi left the scene.

Xu Zhengyang stood there, gazing at the backs of Qin Han and Ming Xizhi, muttering to himself, “It seems my little cunning has been seen through.”

Just who was this Qin Han?

That was the thought occupying Xu Zhengyang’s mind at the moment.

He simply couldn’t figure out what kind of man Qin Han was!

You could say he was powerful, yet he chose to stay in the modestly sized city of Zhongzhou.

But to say he was an easy target, last time in the capital, even the well-known rich young masters had to acknowledge Qin Han’s might…

Recalling his last visit to Zhongzhou, Xu Zhengyang felt somewhat relieved that he hadn’t made a move.

Otherwise…

The Zhao family’s youngster had simply vanished from Zhongzhou, and although the Zhao family held a grudge, they did not dare to show their teeth.

It was rumored to have been a direct intervention from above.

The members of the Zhao family were all immensely unsettled and did not even think of seeking revenge against Qin Han, adding to the reasons Xu Zhengyang found Qin Han increasingly incomprehensible.

Qin Han, holding Song Yuwei’s hand from the beginning to end, had never let go.

Ling Yarou looked on at this scene, her eyes growing more sorrowful, as a pitiable sadness crept over her lovely face.

Zhang Feng watched the scene, his anger growing increasingly intense, his fists clenched slightly.

He loathed Qin Han to the extreme.

Last time at Changbai Mountain, he lost to Qin Han.

This time, he absolutely couldn’t give Qin Han another chance.

The reason for his naive thoughts could only be that, firstly, he knew Qin Han far too little; and secondly, he was nothing more than a pampered rich family’s child, naive and arrogant!

His understanding of Qin Han was limited to the surface, simply seeing Qin Han as a doctor, a very skilled doctor, that’s all.

At the same time, he felt that whatever he desired, even if it were a person, others should step aside, yet he failed to consider one thing: Qin Han was already married!

As for those guys in the capital, in his view, someone up there must have grown displeased; he didn’t think Qin Han had any remarkable background, and as for the Ming family, they surely wouldn’t hold a grudge over a dead person!

Moreover, the Ming family was at a crucial moment.

If he, the Ming family, were to promise to stand with the Ming family, would Ming Xizhi still hold Qin Han against him?

In this world, there are only perpetual interests, no perpetual friends, and also no perpetual enmities.

While Zhang Feng was contemplating how to deal with Qin Han, Qin Han had already arrived before the Ming family’s patriarch, greeted along the way by many.

In Central Plains District, a place definitely considered a hiding place of dragons and tigers, everyone welcomed Qin Han with a smile, whether they knew him or not; having one more friend was preferable to having one more enemy.

After all, not many guests warranted a personal reception by Ming Xizhi!

“This must be Doctor Qin,” the old Ming patriarch said, smiling cheerfully as he saw Qin Han.

“I am embarrassed to say it’s the first time I meet my savior, and it’s during my final moments.”

He knew more about Qin Han than anyone else present, so he showed no inclination to take on airs when facing him.

“You are too kind.

It was all because of Old Zhang at that time,” Qin Han replied coolly.

“Today is your birthday, and I offer a modest gift, please accept it!” Qin Han smiled and produced a porcelain bottle from his chest, its craftsmanship exquisite, but of course, the most precious was its content, of which Qin Han had only refined ten pills.

“Then, I would be remiss to decline,” said the old Ming patriarch with a hearty laugh.

“Is this medicine?” asked the Ming patriarch cautiously.

Of course, he didn’t think Qin Han would just give him a porcelain bottle.

“Indeed, it’s something I personally refined; as long as there is a breath left in the body, it can extend life by one day,” Qin Han stated plainly.

“And it comes without side effects.

If a remedy can be found within a day, one could continue to live on.”

“What?!

A day!”

The old patriarch of the Ming family gasped, taken aback by the revelation.

It was nothing less than a life-prolonging drug!

It was known that many such life-prolonging drugs came at the cost of draining the body’s vitality, essentially forgoing one’s life once taken.

Even so, they were extremely precious, particularly for someone like the Ming family patriarch.

Because living even an hour longer meant many posthumous matters could be arranged, ensuring nothing would be left unaddressed.

As Qin Han spoke of the ability to prolong life by a day, the few old men accompanying the Ming patriarch became visibly excited, and when Qin Han mentioned there were no side effects, they were practically beside themselves.

The older people get, the more they fear death, a saying that couldn’t be truer, not because they’re truly afraid of dying, but because they fear their descendants will lack care after they’re gone, especially those from prominent families who probably can’t let go even in death.

More importantly, at their age, a family’s rise or fall depends on which of these old men lives the longest!
