Chapter 194: Chapter 214: My Father’s Life Isn’t That Cheap _1

"Mr. Lin, being so young and possessing such incredible skills, may I ask where you learned your craft?"

Leng Ying smiled and clinked glasses with Lin Chen: "As far as I know, even in the Cultivation World, there are only a handful of people with such a high level of medical skills."

Lin Chen candidly replied: "My master is Xue Kuangren."

Surprise appeared on Leng Ying’s face, and her eyes suddenly brightened: "So, you are Elder Xue’s disciple; no wonder. Elder Xue’s medical skills are renowned throughout the entire Cultivation World, as well as his strength, being unparalleled in both medicine and martial arts..."

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "My master has a straightforward temperament and speaks and acts directly, offending quite a few people. I hope that doesn’t include the Leng family?"

Leng Ying laughed: "I’ve heard of Elder Xue’s personality, living up to his name ’Madman,’ a truly genuine character and a real man. The Leng family hasn’t had any dealings with Elder Xue, but we have long admired his reputation."

Lin Chen revealed his background for two reasons: first, there was no need to hide it, and secondly, he was preparing to cooperate with the Leng family to some extent.

Successful individuals with strong backgrounds will be given more attention. For ordinary people, Lin Chen doesn’t need to divulge his background, but the Leng family has the right to know.

To completely defeat, cripple, or even exterminate the Chu Family, Lin Chen alone wouldn’t be enough; he needed assistance.

The Leng family is one of Linhai’s wealthy families, with strong power and influence in both the Cultivation World and the official and military circles. If the Leng family is willing to help, it would be a great boost.

Although Lin Chen’s individual combat prowess is formidable, it would be relatively easy for him to kill a specific person, but completely defeating a powerful family like the Chu Family through brute force alone is obviously not enough.

Upon learning of Lin Chen’s background, Leng Ying’s attitude became even more amicable and enthusiastic, making their meal a very pleasant one.

As the dinner was coming to an end, Leng Ying placed a bank card in front of Lin Chen.

Lin Chen, holding his wine glass, glanced at the card and asked with a smile, "What’s this for?"

Leng Ying smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, please don’t misunderstand. This card isn’t the Leng family’s gift to you; my father’s life isn’t so cheap. This is Zhang Xuan’s gift to thank you. When she previously asked for your help, she promised to reward you handsomely. Since she made a promise, she must fulfill it. Besides, you saved my father indirectly this time, which has also greatly helped her. It’s only right for her to thank you."

Lin Chen nodded his head. If the money was from the Leng family, it would indicate that they might not want to have any further involvement with him, but Lin Chen would still accept it. After receiving it, however, he wouldn’t consider having further contact with the Leng family.

The statement Leng Ying made was very comforting. She said, "You saved my father’s life, and the Leng family will not give money as a token of gratitude. However, the Leng family members will remember this favor, and we will certainly return it when the time is right."

"How is she?"

Leng Ying laughed: "My father’s illness was partly the result of her actions, but his previous ailments were the main reason. Regardless of her intentions, she did her best to save my father at the time. In the end, my father managed to pull through, and we even met Lin Chen because of it, so it can be considered a blessing in disguise. That’s why my father didn’t make things difficult for her and will even continue to support her financially. Therefore, Mr. Lin, you should take this card."

Since Leng Ying had said as much, Lin Chen decided not to be modest: "Alright, I’ll accept it."

Leng Ying laughed and clinked glasses with Lin Chen: "Mr. Lin, your medical skills are exquisite. What do you think of my father’s recurring illness?"

Lin Chen had already anticipated this question, so he answered without surprise: "He should have been injured by someone’s inner qi in his lungs during a fight in the past. Although he was treated, the injury wasn’t completely healed. Over the years, an insidious injury formed, and by the time it was discovered, it may have already been beyond repair..."

Leng Ying nodded, looking expectantly at Lin Chen: "Can it be cured?"

Lin Chen laughed, "Yes, it can be treated with acupuncture and medication. Results can be seen in half a month, but to fully recover would take at least half a year. After all, it’s difficult to completely cure an old ailment that has been there for many years; it will require a slow recovery."

Leng Ying asked with elation: "Can it be completely cured?"

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes."

Leng Ying was immediately excited. His father’s illness had plagued him for many years, and because of his physical condition, voices within the family had begun to suggest that he was no longer suitable to lead the family and that another family head should be chosen. This was a result that Leng Yucheng and his son could not accept.

If Lin Chen could cure Leng Yucheng’s illness and restore his health, with his skills and means as a cultivator, he could at least support the family head position for another ten or so years. After these ten years, Leng Ying’s influence and status would be more secure within the family, making it even easier for him to take over as the family head.

"Mr. Lin, my father has suffered a lot due to his illness, and many family members have been critical of him. Please help my father; we promise a generous reward."

Lin Chen readily agreed, "No problem."

Seeing Lin Chen’s agreement, Leng Ying let out a long sigh of relief and earnestly said, "I won’t negotiate with Mr. Lin about money since you don’t lack it. I just want to say that if you ever need anything, just say the word, and I’ll do my utmost to help."
