"The diagnosis is correct, but you probably didn’t tell everyone that the old master’s condition would result in three years of a life worse than death, did you?" Tang Ming said with a faint smile, explaining:
"Based on the current situation, the old master’s normal bodily function can still be maintained for two years, but after two years, his body will be fully poisoned. At that ti, his ridians will wither, muscles will atrophy, and his essence energy will rapidly weaken. He will first lose his hair, then his sight, and his voice, just like a tree withering away, eventually becoming a piece of poisonous rotten flesh."
"Hiss!" Hearing Tang Ming’s words, the crowd gasped in shock.
An Tian looked at Tang Ming skeptically. He had noticed these symptoms as well, but he hadn’t spoken about them so definitively and accurately because he didn’t want to worry the Ma Family prematurely.
"No, it can’t be that dreadful, can it?"
The old master’s voice trembled as he looked at Tang Ming. He wasn’t afraid of dying, having disregarded life and death the mont he entered Jianghu, but after hearing Tang Ming’s words, he was still scared — a life worse than death indeed.
"That should be correct, this youngster has so skills," An Tian said with a solemn nod.
"Hehe, just scaring you," Tang Ming imdiately laughed after receiving An Tian’s approval:
"I can cure this poison, and I can treat this disease."
"Really?"
Ma Benyue swallowed hard, looking at Tang Ming with anticipation.
"Of course it’s true. You all go out and wait, I’m going to detoxify the old master." Tang Ming waved his hand authoritatively and commanded.
"Young man, are you sure you can cure brother Ma?"
An Tian blinked and still looked at Ye Yu doubtfully.
"Of course, but you cannot watch. This is a big taboo in Jianghu," Tang Ming said with a smile.
An Tian opened his mouth, then shook his head and voluntarily walked outside, knowing this rule.
After everyone left the room, Tang Ming looked at Ma Tong with a solemn expression.
"Young Tang, is there a problem?" Ma Tong nervously asked Tang Ming.
"Old master, I can detoxify you, but I must speak frankly beforehand,"
Tang Ming stated gravely.
"Don’t worry, Young Tang, as long as you can save , my family will definitely regard you as our leader from now on, with no second thoughts,"
Ma Tong, thinking Tang Ming was about to set conditions, imdiately raised his hand to swear.
"That’s not what I an, you misunderstood," Tang Ming quickly shook his head and explained:
"The toxins in your body have already rged with your True Qi and Gang Qi, so after I detoxify you, you will lose so cultivation, degrading to a half-step Martial Master. Be ntally prepared."
"I see, that’s fine," the old master breathed a sigh of relief and said unconcernedly:
"It’s just cultivation. As long as one is alive, one can always cultivate back. It’s nothing to fuss over."
"Haha, no wonder the Ma Family can be strong and prosperous, such a good attitude, old master!"
Tang Ming laughed, then gathered Gang Qi in his hands, "Co, let detoxify you."
"You’ve actually already advanced to a Martial Master, and even to the peak of One-star?"
The old master stared at Tang Ming in shock, recalling that when they last sparred, Tang Ming had still been a Half-step Martial Master. It hadn’t been that long since then, and he had advanced to this extent, which was rather monstrous!
"No big deal," Tang Ming said with a faint smile, then began to concentrate on detoxifying the old master.
Outside.
"Grandpa, is what that kid said true? Does he really have a way to treat the stubborn condition that even you couldn’t handle?"
An Tian moved closer to Old Master An and quietly asked.
"I don’t know." Old Master An sat emotionlessly on the stone chair and whispered:
"He could even tell that Brother Ma would beco a cripple in two years, so now I’m not sure how profound that kid’s Dao is."
"Freak, not only does his cultivation increase rapidly, but he also knows dical skills." An Tian couldn’t help cursing and said bitterly:
"He must be cheating; otherwise, why can’t I surpass him when I’m solely focused on cultivation?"
A group of people anxiously waited in the courtyard for an hour, and finally, the door opened, and Tang Ming, with a smile on his face, walked out of the room:
"All done, the old master shouldn’t have any major issues now, right?"
"Really?" Old Master An exclaid and rushed into the room faster than the people from the Ma Family.
Ma Benyue quickly followed him in.
"Young Master Tang." Ma Gangqiang and Ma Gangjian awkwardly approached Tang Ming and bowed their heads saying:
"We have offended you in the past, please have a big heart and don’t hold grudges. Now that you have saved my grandfather, we will definitely not trouble you again."
"Heh, no worries, what could your little tricks possibly do to ?" Tang Ming laughed casually and mischievously asked:
"If I were serious, do you think you could have survived until now?"
"This..."
The Ma brothers’ faces changed slightly. Thinking carefully about Tang Ming’s strength, if he had been serious, they probably would have died long ago.
"Be more obedient in the future. Before offending soone, make sure you know their background properly. Not everyone is as soft-hearted as ."
Tang Ming patted the brothers on the shoulder and said with an old-fashioned tone.
"We’ve learned our lesson." The brothers nodded repeatedly, recalling their past misdeeds, both of them broke out in a cold sweat.
Even a martial master couldn’t get the better of Tang Ming; it was indeed a miracle they were still alive!
"Damn it, lucky I was smart. Ever since Tang Ming sent to the hospital, I’ve been keeping my head down. I even endured when Fire Brother offended Tang Ming; otherwise, I couldn’t imagine the consequences!"
Ma Gangjian quietly wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. After suffering a loss at Tang Ming’s hands, he had always avoided conflict with Tang Ming. To outsiders, it looked like he had conceded, but now he realized his decision was damn smart.
"It’s over; no matter what, I have to cancel the partnership with Black Widow. Although Tang Ming said he doesn’t mind hiring an assassin, if my dad and granddad find out, they’ll definitely break my legs."
Ma Gangqiang was fretting over how to cancel the bounty on Tang Ming’s head.
"How is this possible, how did you do it?"
Just then, Old Master An burst out of the room, staring in disbelief and shouted.
"So secrets are not to be revealed," Tang Ming said with a smirk and strode towards the outside:
"Old sir, there are always people better out there. If you encounter another patient poisoned like this that you can’t handle, feel free to ask for help."
Tang Ming was already addicted to treating such poisoned patients, especially since Old Master An was a Divine Doctor. Encountering a poison that even a Divine Doctor couldn’t handle was indeed a great tonic for him!
Hearing this, Old Master An’s face was flush with sha. Thinking about how he had previously looked down on Tang Ming, now...
"Ah, it seems I’m truly old now! The future belongs to the young!"
Watching Tang Ming’s retreating figure, Old Master An sighed helplessly.
