"Yu, what’s going on here, why are so many people affected?"
Seeing the situation, Mr. Xia Sr.’s brows furrowed with concern, and he asked Yu in a deep voice.
One must know, the young people who could be brought along by these bigwigs from various war zones.
They are undoubtedly the rising stars, the elite among the elite.
If all of them had problems, it would be like a major earthquake within the Xia Country Military!
Secretly shocked, Mr. Xia Sr. imdiately looked at Lin Fan: "Can it be cured?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden silence around.
Yu and others looked embarrassed, yet they eagerly turned their eyes to Lin Fan.
After all, it was their own fault for being foolishly bewitched by the Qi Replenishing Pill given by Shen Changlong.
Moreover, the relationship between them and Lin Fan had beco completely strained, it shouldn’t be up to him to clean up their ss.
But now, aside from Lin Fan, they really couldn’t think of another solution.
They had no choice but to shalessly co begging for help!
"Lin Fan, can you do it or not? Give us a straightforward answer!"
"If you can’t treat them, just say so quickly, so we don’t waste our precious ti!"
As ti passed by second by second.
Lin Fan just frowned and silently examined the feeble young people one by one.
Suddenly, many couldn’t bear it any longer and began urging with harsh words.
"...I can treat them, but so people, I don’t want to treat."
Lin Fan’s eyes gradually turned cold, facing those with angry, glaring eyes, he shook his head slowly.
Wha... what?
If he can treat them, why doesn’t he want to?
Goddammit, isn’t this deliberately watching them die without helping!
The people exchanged glances, and their expressions turned a bit unsightly.
Especially the affected young people, who stared coldly at Lin Fan, eyes filled with malice.
"Lin Fan, why, why are you doing this?"
Yu’s complexion tightened, hurriedly and politely said with a smile.
"I’ve never been too close to the Shen family, and back then, I certainly didn’t add insult to injury in your situation. If you don’t believe it, ask Xia!"
"Lin Fan, back then Yu was with , pleading on your behalf with the higher-ups. We obtained a national burial for you, you shouldn’t bla him."
Mr. Xia Sr. imdiately nodded in agreent.
"Yes, yes, and us too, we also contributed back then!"
"Lin Fan, you can’t watch us die without helping, we’ve been old buddies with Xia for many years!"
Hearing this, several other bigwigs also chid in.
"Yu, what do you an by this? Are you blaming us for kicking Lin Fan when he’s down back then?"
"Stop with the nonsense. The Qi Replenishing Pill was made by you, Lin Fan, and now that there’s a big problem, you need to fix it!"
On the other hand, so military bigwigs’ expressions changed slightly, then they stiffened their necks and shouted loudly.
"Ladies and gentlen, since none of us are strangers here, I might as well speak plainly."
Under the varied gazes of everyone.
Lin Fan’s mouth curled into a self-mocking smile, speaking indifferently.
"I, Lin Fan, have always repaid kindness with kindness, and vengeance with vengeance... What you all did to back then, I presu you each know in your hearts."
"Actually, there’s no problem with that batch of Qi Replenishing Pills, but after consumption, my unique needle technique is needed to unleash the effects; otherwise, there will be minor and major hidden dangers. Consider it a small anti-theft asure I left behind."
"Those who took a small amount, I can heal casually, but for those who took too much... please find soone more qualified, since you are on such good terms with the Shen family, why should I help resolve Shen family’s troubles?"
As soon as he finished, everyone’s faces changed.
Yu and others exchanged glances, their eyes filled with both relief and surprise.
Those on good terms with the Shen family, who frequently mingled with them, were both shocked and angry, their expressions as if they had swallowed a fly.
"Grandfather, let’s go, I don’t believe there’s no one in this world who can solve these troubles!"
"Uncle, since Lin Fan is unwilling to help, we don’t need to seek his aid!"
"Lin Fan, have you thought this through, offending so many military bigwigs, can you bear the consequences?"
So angrily huffed, while others gritted their teeth and growled lowly.
Others squinted their old eyes, threatening in a sarcastic tone.
"What consequences do I need to bear? If I cured all of you today, wouldn’t that be equal to letting the Shen family off the hook?"
Seeing this, Lin Fan felt it was utterly ridiculous and couldn’t help but darken his expression.
"Shen Changlong used the Qi Replenishing Pill to curry favor with you, had interest exchanges with you, what does that have to do with , Lin Fan?"
"Now that you found out there’s a problem, you shouldn’t be coming to , you should go find trouble with the Shen family."
Although his indifferent voice wasn’t loud.
When it reached everyone’s ears, it was no less than a fierce slap across their old faces.
It hurt, it burned!
"For those few Old Marshals who pleaded for back then, please bring people in, as for the rest, it’s better to start thinking of other ways sooner rather than later."
Lin Fan finished speaking calmly, nodded at Yu and others, and headed towards the depths of the courtyard.
"What, what to do, oh... how about you, Wang, try going to the Shen family again?"
Yu sighed, with a flicker of schadenfreude in his eyes.
One must know, many standing here were once roped in by the Ying and Shen Families, standing up to accuse Lin Fan, forcibly convicting him.
Now they shalessly ca to seek help and were flatly refused by Lin Fan?
They deserved it, it’s karma!
"Hmph, you old coot, cut the act. Let’s go! There are countless famous doctors in the Imperial Capital, I don’t believe no one can cure this!"
The old man referred to as Wang twitched his cheek, his nostrils flared with anger, his chest heaving.
Finished speaking angrily, he had no face to stay any longer.
Under the mocking gaze of Mr. Xia Sr. and others, he trudged off with the others.
In an instant, only a handful remained in the field.
All respectfully bowed to Mr. Xia Sr., then hurriedly followed Lin Fan’s footsteps.
"Esteed Old Marshals, please accept my bow."
Upon entering the hall, Lin Fan turned around and solemnly bowed to Yu and others.
These old fellows, who back then withstood the pressure, pleaded for him along with Mr. Xia Sr., absolutely did him a great favor.
However, Lin Fan handed over the complete formula for the Qi Replenishing Pill without conditions, thus repaying his debt of gratitude.
As for resolving matters to erase the Shen family’s debts?
He would need them to show enough sincerity to allay his concerns.
"No need for such formalities, you have rendered great service to the country countless tis, we old folks naturally can’t sit idly by."
Yu smiled and eagerly watched Lin Fan: "So, shall we begin now?"
"This ti I ca to the Imperial Capital, besides retrieving my mother’s ashes, I also worry that Shen Yueli might not be content and would continue to cause trouble."
Lin Fan nodded, then changed the topic: "I have an unseemly request and would like the honorable Old Marshals’ assistance."
"Speak quickly, as long as it is within our capability, we will definitely help!"
A short-haired elder patted the young person beside him on the head, then his old eyes fixed, speaking resolutely.
Several others nodded in agreent as well.
"I know there’s a place in the Imperial Capital, where even the all-powerful Ying and Shen families dare not act recklessly, it’s the perfect burial site for my mother."
Lin Fan lowered his eyes to the urn wrapped in red cloth in his hands, a trace of sadness in his eyes.
After all, he couldn’t guard his mother’s grave all the ti.
Only by finding a once-and-for-all solution could he completely dismiss Shen Yueli’s secretive mischief!
One second, two seconds, three seconds... Yu and others were all bewildered, looking at each other.
After a mont, soone suddenly recalled sothing, couldn’t help but widen his eyes, as if he’d seen a ghost.
"Damn, kid, you can’t an to bury your mother’s ashes near the Imperial Mausoleum!"
