58: Chapter 58 Hidden Illness 58: Chapter 58 Hidden Illness Standing in the room, the seductive figure of the woman nad “Scorpion” leaned against the wall, her arms crossed over her chest.
Silently positioned in the corner, her lips painted in bright red were slightly pouted.
The butterfly knife she skillfully handled clicked into place in her delicate hand, and her face reverted to that cold expression, accustod to the sight of blood.
The colder her expression, the icier her eyes, the more her red lips and chilled deanor accentuated her sensuality.
Sensual, enchanting, icy, yet dangerous — these attributes mingled on Scorpion, projecting an astonishing charm.
Scorpion had not yet seen how Xiao Yifei truly treated illnesses, and this ti, she intended to observe closely.
Xiao Yifei glanced at Scorpion standing in the corner, and his own heart involuntarily quickened its pace.
“Scorpion!” Xiao Yifei motioned to her with his hand.
Scorpion’s gaze, cold as ice, turned towards Xiao Yifei.
She disliked it when Sun Li called her by that nickna, and she felt that Xiao Yifei calling her over was never a good sign.
As expected, Scorpion only heard Xiao Yifei say with displeasure, “Don’t stand there, I’ve told you before, haven’t I?
I don’t like being watched while I treat soone!
Get out, get out!
I’ll call you later!”
“Hmph!” Scorpion had no intention to move initially, but upon catching Jiang Mingquan’s gaze on her, she couldn’t help but snort coldly.
She glared fiercely at Xiao Yifei and turned to leave the room.
Just before exiting, Xiao Yifei heard her mutter, “Fine, I won’t watch, what’s so great about that!”
Xiao Yifei chuckled and shook his head; it wasn’t about watching or not watching, rather, with Scorpion, that enticing figure standing there, Xiao Yifei found it utterly impossible to focus on treating Jiang Mingquan.
Watching the interaction between Xiao Yifei and Scorpion, Jiang Mingquan’s face broke into a teasing smile, “My goddaughter, who grew up orphaned and was raised by , has always worked for .
Perhaps because she’s seen too much carnage, she always wears a cold expression towards others.
Yet, it seems she behaves sowhat differently with you, Mr.
Xiao.”
Xiao Yifei, feeling sowhat embarrassed as if Jiang Mingquan was trying to introduce a girlfriend to him, blushed and waved his hands without saying a word.
“Haha, Mr.
Xiao, you’re still shy!
Scorpion, not only has she mastered impressive skills, but she also holds dual degrees in Economics and Managent from the third-ranked Durham University in the whole of the UK, and moreover, she’s beautiful.
She truly is exceptionally outstanding.”
Jiang Mingquan winked and laughed as he spoke to Xiao Yifei.
“Let’s not talk about that!
We should hurry and treat your condition!”
Xiao Yifei quickly stood up and reached out to treat Jiang Mingquan.
“Haha, truly a man with a child’s heart, Mr.
Xiao.
Having such skills surely wasn’t effortless.
I didn’t expect you to be so shy when it cos to girls,” Jiang Mingquan laughed heartily, feeling for the first ti that Xiao Yifei seed more human; otherwise, the enigma surrounding Xiao Yifei and his potent dical skills sotis made Jiang Mingquan doubt if he was even human.
“Co on, let’s start the treatnt!” Jiang Mingquan lay down on the bed and looked at Xiao Yifei, “How do I need to assist you?”
When Xiao Yifei focused his attention on the dical aspects, his deanor switched instantly; his eyes glead brightly, and he exuded an aura of confidence that made Jiang Mingquan straighten up on the bed, inwardly admiring, “What a confident and handso young man!”
“Elder Jiang, please lie down first.” Xiao Yifei’s voice was deep and steady, expressing boundless confidence, “Elder Jiang, you are sowhat aware of the illness in your body right now.
It stems from a condition acquired in your youth, so to fully cure it, it is not just about this mont but also about ongoing treatnt that I will provide along with gradual adjustnts in the future.”
Xiao Yifei continued in a flat tone, “The main thing is my treatnt.
After each treatnt, I will instruct you on so precautions.
Just pay attention to them; during the treatnt process, you don’t need to do anything special, just lie on the bed and cooperate.”
Upon hearing the steady voice of Xiao Yifei, Jiang Mingquan felt reassured, but even so, he couldn’t help but ask worriedly, “Mr.
Xiao, how long will it take to cure the hidden ailnts in my body?
Do you need any help?
Just tell , and I’ll arrange it!”
Xiao Yifei looked up at Jiang Mingquan and said lightly, “No need, I am sufficient.
However, to completely eradicate your condition with my current capabilities, it will take about six months.
The treatnt is straightforward, so rest assured.”
As soon as his words ended, Xiao Yifei began to take action; he first lifted Jiang Mingquan’s left arm.
Jiang Mingquan was a bit curious, for, in his opinion, aside from the occasional sudden pain that made it difficult to lift, there was nothing else wrong with his left arm.
Thus, he was sowhat puzzled as to why Xiao Yifei lifted his arm.
“Mr.
Jiang, has your left arm been injured before?” Xiao Yifei seriously observed Jiang Mingquan’s left arm.
In fact, he had already used his Clairvoyance to keenly observe the internal condition of the arm.
“Ah?
Injured?
I can’t rember,” Jiang Mingquan said.
Completely confused, Jiang rembered his left arm being entirely healthy.
So why did Xiao Yifei say that?
“Right here,” Xiao Yifei said indifferently.
He stretched out his hand and drew a circle with his fingertip about 5 centiters above the elbow joint on Jiang Mingquan’s arm.
Following Xiao Yifei’s hand, Jiang Mingquan distinctly felt a warm current flowing from Xiao Yifei’s fingertips into his own arm, gathering at the area Xiao Yifei had circled.
In the next instant, a surge of tingling, numbness, itchiness, and pain suddenly washed over Jiang Mingquan’s arm.
“Hiss.”
Jiang Mingquan couldn’t help but inhale sharply as he looked at Xiao Yifei in total shock.
“What…
What’s going on?
Why does my arm feel so uncomfortable!”
Xiao Yifei glanced at Jiang Mingquan and, to avoid further suspicion from Jiang, had to find an excuse.
He replied, “Relax, this is a type of nourishing therapy in Chinese dicine, stimulating acupoints to repair issues in the tissues of your arm.”
As soon as Xiao Yifei spoke, Jiang Mingquan suddenly rembered that his left arm had indeed been injured.
It happened when he first arrived in Shangjing, when he was a novice and had no choice but to fight fiercely to make a na for himself.
During one such brawl, his left arm was severely struck by soone claid to be a martial artist, exactly at the spot that Xiao Yifei had circled!
At that ti, Jiang Mingquan’s left arm beca immobilized.
Afterward, many thods had to be used to restore its mobility.
Because there had been no further issues with his left arm in his subsequent life, Jiang Mingquan had gradually forgotten the incident.
It was only today, under Xiao Yifei’s hands, that Jiang Mingquan recalled the incident.
“I rember now!
My left arm had been injured before!” Despite being a powerful figure accustod to great challenges, Jiang Mingquan was still incredibly shocked by Xiao Yifei’s miraculous performance, “But that was decades ago!
I had completely forgotten about it!
I can’t believe, Mr.
Xiao, that you could actually discover it!”
