Hidden Master: starting by canceling ten marriage proposals
Chapter 718 It Was Them!_1
Seeing his own father so hale and hearty, Chi Yuxian didn’t know what to say.
He turned his head and looked towards Yin Tian, asking softly, "Master, with my father being like this, is it really okay for him to eat big fish and meat directly?"
"No problem."
Yin Tian shook his head with a smile, "The old master’s body is very good, the only issue was some problems with his meridians due to martial arts practice. Actually, anyone who practices martial arts will retain some hidden illnesses."
"You don’t feel them when you’re young, but when you get old, those issues become apparent, which is why those who practice genuine kung fu rarely live to an old age."
"I see."
Chi Yuxian nodded, then looked towards Yin Tian again, "Master, could you check if my body has any hidden illnesses?
He had suddenly thought of this.
He was worried that when he got old, he would end up like his father, paralyzed in bed, only able to await death helplessly.
"Yes."
Yin Tian replied without hesitation.
Chi Yuxian’s breath caught, and then a bitter smile appeared on his face.
He had some illusions in his heart, but after hearing Yin Tian’s words, those illusions were shattered.
"However, your condition is not so bad; it doesn’t necessitate treatment with acupuncture."
Yin Tian spoke slowly, "You just need a bowl of herbal soup, and you’ll be fine."
"Herbal soup?"
Chi Yuxian’s eyes brightened, "What kind of herbal soup? Please give me the prescription, and I will have someone fetch the medicine right now."
"That won’t do."
Yin Tian shook his head and said with a light smile, "The needed herbs are quite numerous and not easy to obtain. How about this, I have some herbal soup at my place. Once I get back, I will find those herbs and cook the soup for you."
"You can just come to my place tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Chi Yuxian didn’t refuse, "If that’s the case, then I will thank the Master in advance."
Yin Tian waved his hand, "No trouble at all, we’re all family here."
...
After having breakfast at Chi Family’s place, Chi Yuxian immediately arranged for a car to take Yin Tian back to Central City.
However, Yin Tian didn’t go home but instructed the driver to take him to the hospital.
After all, his large stockpile of herbs was stored in the hospital’s warehouse.
After directing the Chi family’s car to leave, Yin Tian walked into the hospital alone.
As it happened, Doctor Hua, dressed in a white lab coat, was walking out. Spotting Yin Tian, he quickly approached with excitement, "Teacher? What brings you here?"
"I’ve come to collect some medicine. I was thinking of calling you, but didn’t expect to run into you so soon," Yin Tian said with a smile.
With this statement, a peculiar expression crossed Doctor Hua’s face.
However, he nodded, "In that case, please follow me, Teacher."
Doctor Hua led Yin Tian to the warehouse, where Yin Tian started looking through the large pile of herbs.
He picked out various kinds of herbs and set them aside.
But when he searched for one particular main herb, his brows suddenly furrowed, "Where did the Tendon-Strengthening Vine go?"
Hearing Yin Tian mention the Tendon-Strengthening Vine, Doctor Hua’s expression grew even more troubled.
Yin Tian immediately noticed the change in Doctor Hua’s mood and asked softly, "What happened?"
"Teacher, there’s been an accident..." Doctor Hua let out a wry laugh, "Not long ago, someone came here, wanting to check if our warehouse had the herbs they needed."
"Then they found the Tendon-Strengthening Vine and took it away."
Upon hearing this, Yin Tian’s face immediately became more somber, "Isn’t the Tendon-Strengthening Vine my property?"
"I told them, but they just wouldn’t listen!" Doctor Hua’s expression of bitterness deepened, "I couldn’t stop them..."
"You couldn’t stop them? Aren’t you..."
Yin Tian was speaking when he suddenly realized, "The people who took away the Tendon-Strengthening Vine, are they from the Imperial City?"
"Yes..."
Doctor Hua nodded, "The Qu family from the Imperial City."
Yin Tian’s brow tightened suddenly.
It was the Qu family again!
He had just had a confrontation with Qu Datong, the old Family Head of the Qu family, that morning.
Now people from the Qu family had taken away the herbs he had stored in the hospital warehouse!
"When did they leave?"
Doctor Hua glanced at his phone and said softly, "About ten minutes before you arrived here..."
Yin Tian quietly considered the timing.
Traveling from the hospital to the Imperial City took at least half an hour, but his journey from the hospital to the warehouse had taken less than ten minutes.
In other words, those from the Qu family still needed more than ten minutes to reach the Imperial City.
He immediately took out his phone and dialed a number.
Soon, the call was answered, "Hello, Brother Yin..."
Hearing the reverent voice on the other end, Yin Tian couldn’t help but smile.
The person he was calling was none other than Lin Yunzhi.
What a coincidence.
The Lin Family’s territory was not far from the Imperial City.
If the Lin Family dared to block the road, they would surely be able to stop those from the Qu family!
