Du Qingkuang laughed again and said, “Old man, do you know who this man is when you called him a kid?”

The old man rolled up his eyes and said, “Who else can he be? He is moving freely in the Hall of Life and Death, so he must be Ye Xiao, the young man who was called the marvelous doctor. He is just a kid! Why can’t I call him kid? You talked like you are such a tough man, but you are told to be here watching me. Without the order, you don’t even dare to leave the door… I lost my power, so I am subjected to this absurd indignity from you…”

Ye Xiao laughed and stopped Du Qingkuang. He gently said, “Old master, you have a sharp view. I am impressed.” He turned to Du Qingkuang and said, “Qingkuang, you are free to go now. Let me talk to the old master.”

Du Qingkuang nodded and left the room.

“Do you want to talk to me? What do you want to talk about?” The old man looked at Ye Xiao with a weird look.

“Whatever you would like to talk. I just want some chitchat.” Ye Xiao sat by the bed and held the old man’s wrist to check his pulse.

The old man stared at Ye Xiao and said, “Boy, do you know about the wounds I suffered?”

Ye Xiao smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter. No matter how badly you got injured, as long as you have my treatment, you won’t die!”

The old man laughed and said, “Well, I guess I should thank you for it, shouldn’t I?”

Ye Xiao looked at the old man with a pair of clear eyes. He said, “There is no need! We have rules in the Hall of Life and Death. You can either promise to follow my leadership or promise to do me a favor someday as a return to my treatment.”

“Words don’t mean much to me. I don’t need anybody to thank me.” Ye Xiao blandly smiled.

The old man’s eyes glittered, and he said, “To follow your leadership? It sounds like giving my life to you as a price to pay for the treatment…”

Ye Xiao blandly smiled and didn’t say anything. He could tell that the old man would never join the Monarch’s Hall.

He didn’t care, though. He believed in the old man’s power. In fact, he wouldn’t force the old man to do anything. He saved the old man simply because he felt pity for him. He just had to mention the rules of the Hall of Life and Death, otherwise, he wouldn’t talk about it at all. Destiny was something nobody could decide! It just happened as nobody expected!

After a while, Ye Xiao continued to say, “Old master, you are worrying too much. Your wounds are mostly cured. However…” Ye Xiao stood up and said, “The inner injuries in you are severe. The wounds from the fists and palm attacks are healing. It will take no more than three days to recover. The poison was not a problem. As for the wounds caused by the sword and saber… it could be a problem. It still has a chance to damage your inner organs.”

The old man nodded and said, “Do you think I can recover?”

“With my help, I am sure you can!” Ye Xiao said, “However, I must know your choice first.”

“Why?” The old man was confused. “Can’t you wait? I can make a choice when I am cured! Are you going to give me different treatments according to my choice? If I choose the option you don’t like, will you still give me your best treatment?”

Ye Xiao said, “I am not sure what others will do under such circumstances. In the Hall of Life and Death, patients always get the best treatment. I must know about your choice because you are too powerful. If you turn against us after you get your power back, we will suffer a great loss. I must consider all the possible situations.”

“That is honest!” The old man laughed. He didn’t feel offended at all.

Ye Xiao blandly smiled and turned around. He said, “The most severe wounds on you are the sword wounds caused by the Nine Sky Golden Qi and the saber wounds caused by the Scorching Saber Qi… I am curious… How many were they? Who did you mess with?”

“Well, I can tell you everything if you are interested. Are you sure you want to know everything?” The old man smiled and said. Actually, he was surprised.

‘The kid actually knows about the Nine Sky Golden Qi and the Scorching Saber Qi!

‘That is impressive!’

“I am not interested.” Ye Xiao shook his head with a bitter smile. “To be honest with you, I want you to make a choice and tell me what you will offer me. I want to get the job done and help you fully recover. I want to see you off as soon as possible. I am not interested in anything that happened to you. I don’t want to hear the story at all. Do you get me?”

“Hah hah hah…” The old man laughed again. As he laughed so hard, he started to cough. Some golden blood came out of his lips. He didn’t care about it. He said, “Well, as you wish. I will give you a promise then. Hah hah…”

The old man stopped laughing, and then he said in a forlorn voice, “No matter how old I am, it turns out I fear for death. No matter how tough one seems to be when death is near, it is hard to face it fearlessly…”

Ye Xiao calmly said, “It is not about being tough. You just still haven’t finished all the things that you want to do in your life…”

The old man looked at Ye Xiao deeply in his eyes.

“There is one thing I must tell you now. When I make the vow, the response from the sky will be extremely loud. My enemies will come and get me. I am fine about it, but your place…” The old man seemed to be worried.

“Old master, please don’t think too much. All I need is just a word from you.” Ye Xiao smiled and said, “I don’t need you to make a vow that reaches upon the sky. I believe you are an honorable man. An honorable man doesn’t need to make that vow!”

The old man smiled and said, “You are a clever man. If I go against my own words someday, I will become a dishonorable man. That is quite a punishment on me!”

Ye Xiao blandly said, “It is my good luck that you keep your words to me. If you deny it, I surely will accept my bad luck as well. I just want to put a wager on my luck and your honor!”

“What if I deny it and kill you all? You have about two thousand men. If I kill you all, who will know whether I have broken my own words or not?” the old man said in a scary voice. His eyes turned narrow, staring at Ye Xiao.

“Well, it must be my fate then.”

Ye Xiao said, “Anyway, it takes time to prove an idea about the future. It is your own choice to make, whether to be an honorable man or a dishonest person. My choice is to give you proper treatment or not!”
