"What? Didn't you want to understand properly?"
"Come on, state your identity and let me know."
Lin Chen sneered.
No wonder the esteemed Old Master Zhu, renowned as the foremost physician in Zhejiang province, refused to help. With this spectacled man's arrogant attitude, what kind of person could his boss be?
Forget Master Zhu; even he himself would never agree to treat someone like this!
"You... I..."
Upon hearing Lin Chen's words and seeing his somewhat familiar face, the spectacled man faltered, feeling a pang of guilt.
When he first arrived, his boss had repeatedly instructed him to be polite to everyone.
Yet, no matter how much he pleaded, the old man remained utterly unmoved.
If that hadn't been the case, how could he have been so enraged as to resort to intimidation?
"Stop the nonsense and get lost!"
Lin Chen, unwilling to waste more time, snapped.
"You scoundrel, what business is it of yours?"
The spectacled man was also angered by Lin Chen's words.
Master Zhu had now become his boss's only hope.
If he couldn't bring the master back, his boss would truly have no hope left!
"I'm inviting Master Zhu, not you. If you push me too far, don't blame me for being impolite!"
The spectacled man clenched his fists and glared fiercely at Lin Chen.
No matter what, he had to bring Master Zhu back to the capital today!
"Impolite? Is that so? Then I'd very much like to see how you plan to be impolite!"
Lin Chen scoffed, completely unfazed by the bodyguards accompanying the spectacled man.
A bunch of ordinary people, not even in the Body Tempering stage. To put it bluntly, he could drown them with a single spit!
"All of you, attack!"
The spectacled man waved his hand, and a group of security guards immediately surrounded Lin Chen.
This young whippersnapper who appeared out of nowhere, daring to obstruct his mission, was practically courting death!
"Wait, what are you doing?"
Seeing that the spectacled man was about to act, Master Zhu, who had remained silent, finally spoke.
He had lived in this building for so long and was acquainted with Zhou Qing.
As for this young man who had just arrived, it was clear he knew Zhou Qing as well.
But ultimately, this matter had nothing to do with them, and he certainly couldn't let this young man take a beating for nothing!
"Master Zhu, my master is critically ill and urgently needs your healing."
"If you don't want to implicate others today, you must come with me to the capital. Otherwise, I will truly not be polite!"
The spectacled man's face darkened as he threatened Master Zhu.
At this point, he truly had no other recourse.
No matter what, he had to bring Master Zhu back!
"Hmph, I can tell you clearly, I will not treat your master."
"Moreover, I cannot cure his illness!"
Master Zhu snorted, unyielding.
He had previously divined for the man behind this spectacled individual. His illness was incredibly complex.
Furthermore, this person's identity was sensitive. If he were to go and attempt to save him, he would very likely be drawn into a whirlpool.
At that point, his reputation would be in jeopardy!
"Master Zhu, my master is truly not a bad person."
"He has saved many people, established numerous welfare homes, orphanages, and so on."
"The medical fund he established has aided countless families. Please, think of a way!"
However, as Master Zhu finished speaking, the previously fierce spectacled man suddenly knelt on one knee and kowtowed heavily to Master Zhu.
He himself was an orphan, adopted by his boss, which had led him to his current position.
Now that his boss was in trouble, how could he possibly feel at ease if he couldn't help?
"Even if you kowtow until you die here, I am truly powerless!"
Master Zhu sighed, a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"Huh?"
"Wait!"
However, just as Master Zhu was about to turn and leave, his gaze fell upon Lin Chen's countenance.
Lin Chen had been blocking their view earlier while protecting Zhou Qing. Now, with the spectacled man kneeling, he could finally see Lin Chen clearly.
"What is it, Master Zhu? Have you agreed?"
Hearing Master Zhu's softened tone, a glimmer of hope appeared in the spectacled man's eyes.
Had his actions moved Master Zhu, causing him to offer his help?
"No, no, no, young friend, could you please tell me your birth date and time? I'd like to cast a divination for you."
Master Zhu squinted, his gaze on Lin Chen resembling that of someone who had found a rare treasure.
His divination techniques were inherited. On one hand, he saved lives and accumulated merit; on the other, he divined and accumulated karma.
These two aspects balanced each other out, allowing him to live a full life.
But after decades of divination, this was the first time he had encountered such a countenance as Lin Chen's!
"Oh? Master Zhu means I'm a bit special?"
Hearing Master Zhu's words, Lin Chen narrowed his eyes, his interest piqued.
If anyone else had said this to him, he would have dismissed them as a charlatan bragging.
But Master Zhu, being a genuine cultivator, did he perhaps possess some true skill?
"Master Zhu, could you first see my master before calculating fortunes?"
The spectacled man was practically on the verge of tears.
Good heavens, shouldn't the discussion now be about how to treat his master, not about calculating fortunes for someone else?
"Shut up!"
"Whether your master can be saved might even depend on this young friend!"
"Young friend, with auspicious purple qi gathering above your head, you must also be a physician, correct?"
"Judging by my estimation, your medical skills should not be inferior to mine, right?"
Master Zhu chided the spectacled man, then turned his attention back to Lin Chen.
"Oh? Doctor Zhu, what do you mean by 'auspicious purple qi gathering'?"
Hearing about this "auspicious purple qi gathering," Lin Chen became even more perplexed.
As a cultivator, he naturally understood the concept of destiny and fortune.
But this so-called destiny was incredibly profound. Even his own master, who had reached the Half-step Nascent Soul stage, could not fully grasp it.
Could this old man truly accomplish what even someone at Half-step Nascent Soul couldn't?
"The so-called purple qi is merit."
"The more people you save, the more purple qi gathers above your head."
"Young friend's head is covered in purple qi, your fortune is immense. No matter what challenges you face, you will turn peril into safety. Your future is likely to be exceptionally glorious!"
"But young friend, you have achieved success late in life. You must have endured countless hardships in your youth. Only recently has your luck turned, hasn't it?"
Master Zhu spoke with a sense of awe, looking at Lin Chen.
"Immense fortune? Turning peril into safety?"
Hearing these keywords, Lin Chen was genuinely surprised.
This old man seemed to have a touch of the divine!
