Lin Danian took Lin Feng and the others away in defeat.
Xue An picked up Xue Xiang and Xue Nian and said to Qin Yuan, "I said you have at most three days left to live, do you believe it?"
Qin Yuan's face turned pale, and he lowered his head without a word.
Qin Yu couldn't help but sneer, "These days con artists dare to be so bold? My grandfather just had a medical check-up at the hospital, and everything was normal. Stop trying to bluff, you—."
Xue An simply glanced at Qin Yu, and she felt as if his deep gaze could completely draw her in, rendering her speechless.
At that moment, Qin Yuan said with a bitter smile, "Mr. Xue, you truly are no ordinary person."
"Grandpa, why do you believe this madman's words?" Qin Yu was frantic, fearing her grandfather might be taken in by this man again.
"Yu'er, show some respect. What Mr. Xue said, the Divine Doctor in Zhongdu also personally told me last year!"
The Divine Doctor!
When Qin Yu heard this name, she was at a loss for words.
The Divine Doctor was reputed in Zhongdu as a master healer without equal.
If he said when you would die, then that was when you would die.
With a wry smile, Qin Yuan said, "Yu'er, do you know why I called you back from abroad? I feared that one day, if I were gone, you wouldn't be able to take over Longtai Group!"
Tears welled up in Qin Yu's eyes as she choked out, "Grandpa, let's go to Zhongdu now and have the Divine Doctor treat you!"
Qin Yuan shook his head, "Silly child, if it could be cured, the Divine Doctor would not have said so last year!"
Despair began to take hold of Qin Yu, "Then let's go abroad. I know many top doctors overseas; they can definitely cure you!"
Qin Yuan shook his head again, his tone full of sorrow, "It's no use! Just like today's physical examination, there's nothing wrong with me that can be detected!"
Suddenly, Xue An said, "What if I told you I could cure your illness?"
Qin Yuan's expression turned to one of excitement, "Can Mr. Xue truly cure my illness?"
Xue An nodded, "Of course, but you'll have to give me sufficient compensation."
Before Qin Yuan could speak, Qin Yu sneered, "So the true colors are revealed? Asking for money right off the bat?"
Xue An raised an eyebrow slightly, "Do you realize how much you babble?"
Qin Yu was rendered speechless by the retort.
Qin Yuan, however, was thrilled, "Excellent! May I ask, Mr. Xue, when you can treat my illness?"
"It's too late today, tomorrow then!"
"Alright, if it's convenient for you, Mr. Xue, you could come to my house; it's more comfortable there!"
Xue An thought for a moment and then nodded, "Fine! But I'll bring the children with me!"
"No problem!"
Qin Yuan naturally had a personal driver.
In a short while, an unassuming Audi A8 drove up.
Qin Yuan personally opened the car door for Xue An.
Qin Yu could hardly bear to watch anymore. She always felt this man was unreliable, yet her grandfather was so convinced by him, and Qin Yu was helpless to intervene.
But after thinking for a bit, an idea seemed to light up in her eyes, and she stealthily took out her phone and sent a message.
Hmph, just wait until tomorrow, you'll get what's coming to you!
Qin Yuan lived in a large villa in the suburbs.
The place was heavily guarded and the surroundings were beautiful.
After stepping out of the car, Xue An felt the spiritual energy here was even denser than in the outside world.
Noticing Xue An's surprise, Qin Yuan couldn't help smiling, "Mr. Xue, have you noticed something?"
"Your villa, there's been someone knowledgeable who advised on it, no wonder you have managed to live until now!" Xue An remarked.
Qin Yuan was inwardly shaken, the hope in his eyes growing stronger, and his demeanor became even more respectful.
"Mr. Xue is truly a remarkable person! This villa was built under the guidance of a highly paid Feng Shui expert!"
"It's a pity, I only understand the very basics!" Xue An said indifferently.
As for Xue Xiang and Xue Nian, the two little girls, their eyes weren't enough at the moment; they were curiously looking at everything around them.
"Mr. Xue, you haven't had dinner yet, what would you like to eat? I'll have someone prepare it for you!" Qin Yuan said.
It didn't matter whether Xue An ate or not, but his two daughters couldn't go hungry.
"What do you two want to eat?" Xue An asked with a beaming smile.
Qin Yu watched from the side and thought to herself in disdain, This man is practically schizophrenic, cold and distant like a lofty mountain to everyone else, yet so tender towards these two little girls.
Xue Xiang and Xue Nian looked at each other, then said in unison, "Egg fried rice!"
"Great! Then egg fried rice it is!" Xue An was practically becoming a slave to his daughters, agreeing to whatever the two girls said unconditionally.
Qin Yuan was somewhat stupefied, "Just... egg fried rice?"
Xue An nodded.
The egg fried rice was served quickly, and it was clear from its color and fragrance that it was made by a skilled chef.
The two little girls took their first bite and their eyes immediately widened.
"What's the matter? Doesn't it taste good?"
"Daddy, it's so delicious!" Xue Xiang said before burying her head and eating voraciously.
Only then did Xue An crack a slight smile.
The two little girls ate quickly, polishing off a bowl of egg fried rice in no time, leaving the bowl spotless, without a single grain of leftover rice.
"Are you full?" Xue An asked affectionately.
"I'm stuffed!" Xue Xiang patted her little stomach.
Xue Nian gave a satisfied burp.
They couldn't have been any cuter.
Even Qin Yu couldn't help but smile, thinking to herself that although this man was unpleasantly cold, the two little girls were indeed very charming!
Qin Yuan had someone arrange the rooms, and Xue An led the two girls back to their room.
Only Qin Yuan and Qin Yu were left in the living room afterwards.
Qin Yu said, "Grandpa, why do you believe in this man? I always feel that he's not a good person!"
"Why is that?"
"Because... of his eyes!"
Qin Yuan laughed, "Yu, you are still young and there's much you don't understand. Despite your years of studying abroad and meeting many people, you don't realize what a true master is like!"
"A so-called master must have qualities that are out of the ordinary. This young man may dress simply, but his demeanor and actions are far from ordinary, especially that temperament of his—I haven't seen such an extraordinary person even in Zhongdu!"
Qin Yu, however, felt some contempt in her heart.
Hmph, wait until tomorrow. I'll make you embarrass yourself in front of Grandpa, and then we'll see how you have the cheek to stay.
Late at night.
The two little girls fell into a deep sleep.
Xue An stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, the cold winter moonlight streaming in like a veil.
Xue An opened the small medicine box.
It contained the ginseng he had obtained that day.
There were also some medicinal herbs he had bought in the market today.
Xue An held them in his hand, his eyes shining brightly; under the moonlight, these herbs gradually began to melt.
Soon, they turned into a small spherical shape, spinning around in mid-air.
A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Xue An's mouth.
Although the ingredients were not great, with his cultivation level and expertise, making the Primordial Essence Elixir was simply too easy. With his proficient techniques, he could still refine the Primordial Essence Elixir to a very high level.
At that moment, even the moonlight seemed to be drawn in, and the peaceful spiritual energy of the entire villa began to stir.
