Chapter 56 Deacon Descends
"Divine Doctor Ye, I am Xiao Qingzhi, the Family Head of the Xiao family in Gusu City, I implore Divine Doctor Ye to treat me!"
"Divine Doctor Ye, I am from the Xue family in Gusu City..."
...
Upon seeing Ye Ling, several Family Heads afflicted with Gu poison, one after another, pleaded for Ye Ling to treat them.
The few from the Medicine God sect who were beside him turned green when they heard their words.
They had agreed that everyone would come together to the Hu family villa, using the prestige of the Medicine God sect's capital headquarters' steward to coerce Ye Ling into divulging the method to treat Gu poison!
But unexpectedly, as soon as they met him, these Family Heads had each defected!n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Actually, it wasn't surprising for these Family Heads; the torment of being afflicted with Gu poison both day and night, coupled with the bone-piercing, heart-drilling intense pain, made it difficult for them to sleep!
"Heh, when in the hospital, weren't you trying to force me to act?"
"Now why have you started to plead?"
Ye Ling swept his gaze over the Family Heads and asked with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the complexions of the Family Heads changed.
Xiao Qingzhi immediately responded, "I apologize for the offenses at the hospital earlier, please do not take them to heart, Divine Doctor Ye!"
"We suffer day and night from the agonizing pain of the Gu poison, we truly had no choice but to resort to such measures!"
"If Divine Doctor Ye is willing to treat me, I am willing to offer half of the Xiao family's assets!"
For his own survival, Xiao Qingzhi had made the largest concession possible, willing to offer half of the Xiao family's assets to have Ye Ling treat the Gu poison!
Hearing his words, everyone present's expression changed!
The Xiao family was among the wealthiest, ranking at the forefront in Gusu City, with assets amounting to fifty billion!
Half of the assets amounted to twenty-five billion!
As long as Ye Ling nodded and treated Xiao Qingzhi, he would immediately receive this immense fortune!
Once Xiao Qingzhi made this statement, the expressions of the other Family Heads instantly soured.
Originally, they thought that at most, several billion would suffice to settle the matter, but Xiao Qingzhi suddenly raised the price of engaging Ye Ling to twenty-five billion!
Such a vast fortune, even if their family's strength was not inferior to Xiao's, required them to pay out half of their assets just like Xiao Qingzhi!
"Heh, I already said this in the hospital."
"What I've said will not change!"
Ye Ling said with a light laugh.
That indifferent expression seemed truly uninterested in the half of the Xiao family's assets mentioned by Xiao Qingzhi!
The Family Heads' expressions also changed, filled with both relief and animosity!
Why, when you have the ability to save us, are you unwilling to act!
Why, even though we are willing to pay several billion, are you still not willing!
Every Family Head roared inwardly, but none dared to voice their thoughts aloud!
"To the Family Heads, do not panic!"
"Shortly our Medicine God sect headquarters' Grandmaster will arrive, and today Ye Ling will definitely have to hand over our medicinal scriptures!"
"Once we retrieve the medical scriptures, we will surely comprehend the method to cure Gu poison from them!"
Qiu Yongnian spoke to the Family Heads.
Another elder of the Medicine God sect also spoke at this moment, "Why should the Family Heads pay such a huge price here to beg this thief?"
"Even if our Medicine God sect cannot treat everyone's Gu poison, didn't the Zhao family announce today that in three days at the eightieth birthday of the Zhao family head, they will reveal the method to cure Gu poison?"
"Since the Family Heads have already endured so many days of heart-eating Gu pain, why rush and needlessly give up your family's billion in assets!"
Perhaps influenced by Ye Ling's resolute attitude or swayed by the words of these two elders.
The few Family Heads looked at Ye Ling with increasingly severe expressions, and even faint murderous intent began to brew!
"If you have something to say, say it. If not, then leave."
"I'm still waiting to go back to sleep, you know?"
Ye Ling looked at the group in front of him who were ignoring him and spoke indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Wang Qinghe directly said, "Ye Ling, the steward of our Medicine God Sect headquarters is about to arrive."
"If you don't want to have any unpleasantness with our Medicine God Sect, I advise you to be wise and hand over the medical texts that our Medicine God Sect has lost!" Experience more on empire
"By doing so, perhaps the steward will not hold the past against you and might even take you into the Medicine God Sect!"
Ye Ling glanced at him and said with a cold laugh, "You came to me in the middle of the night just for this?"
"If it's just for this, then you can leave."
"If your Medicine God Sect's steward also wants that so-called medical text, let him come here himself!"
With that, Ye Ling turned and walked back into the villa!
Ye Jiu swept a cold gaze over everyone present and also left with Ye Ling.
"Ye Ling! You will regret this!"
"Our Medicine God Sect's steward is already on his way here!"
Wang Qinghe's angry voice carried from behind, but Ye Ling and Ye Jiu didn't look back.
Watching the two disappear into the villa, everyone's expression turned extremely ugly!
"Damn it! Once the steward arrives, he's going to get it!"
Qiu Yongnian said angrily.
Half an hour later, a Maybach with a license plate from the capital stopped outside the villa.
A somewhat stout middle-aged man got out of the car.
He scanned over everyone present blandly and asked, "Who is Ye Ling, the one who stole the Medicine God Sect's medical texts?"
"Steward, Ye Ling is inside this villa!"
Wang Qinghe approached the steward and continued, saying, "We already told him earlier that you would be arriving soon!"
"But Ye Ling did not take you seriously at all, just went inside without a backward glance. Moreover, he also said that if you wanted to see him, you should come here yourself..."
Upon hearing this, the steward's stout body trembled violently with anger!
"Good! Good! Good!"
With three pronouncements of 'good,' the aura around the steward burst forth, revealing him to be a Grandmaster!
He was not only one of the six stewards of the Medicine God Sect but also a Grandmaster!
Everyone looked at the steward in fear, yet their eyes were filled with intense excitement!
This was great, not only was the steward a high-ranking official of the Medicine God Sect, but a Grandmaster as well—Ye Ling was doomed!
As long as they could obtain the methods he had for treating gu poison, they themselves might also be saved!
Several Family Heads were very excited.
"Ye Ling! Come out to me, you!"
The steward roared towards the villa, the force of his voice causing the villa's walls to tremble slightly!
A Grandmaster's might is terrifying indeed!
"Who is making noise outside, disturbing our Family Head's rest, seeking death?"
Inside the villa, an even more terrifying aura suddenly rose, followed by Ye Jiu's indifferent voice reaching everyone's ears!
The steward's expression changed, panic flickering in his eyes!
Was there a Great Grandmaster inside this villa!?
What was this situation?
Although he was a steward of the Medicine God Sect, if he annoyed the other party, he might just be slapped dead!
