Divine Doctor from the Start of the Eye Mutation

Chapter 460: The Old Man


"Yes, there were some misunderstandings between us back then. Now that they are resolved, let's not bring them up again."

After Ling Zhenfei finished speaking, he didn't waste any more time and walked inside with Qiu Qian. Old Master Qiu was resting by the stone table in the courtyard, his eyes constantly looking toward the door. When he saw Ling Zhenfei walking in, he stood up with a happy face.

"Zhenfei, you are here."

Ling Zhenfei hurriedly greeted the old master, saying, "Old Master, I am here." As he spoke, he took out a small package from behind him and handed it over, saying, "Old Master, now that the weather is getting colder, I specially prepared a package of Quhan San for you as a sign of respect."

Old Master Qiu quickly took the package and said, "You are so considerate. What is this Quhan San, and how is it used?"

Ling Zhenfei quickly explained, "This is a concoction I prepared based on an ancient recipe. It counteracts rheumatism and colds. Just drink a cup every morning, and your entire body will stay warm for the whole day. You won't feel cold all winter."

Old Master Qiu widened his eyes, clearly very satisfied with the Quhan San's effectiveness. He smiled and said, "That is wonderful. Make sure to explain its usage to the people here clearly, so we don't waste such a fine product."

Ling Zhenfei felt very happy in his heart. When someone's medical arts or self-prepared medication are highly regarded, anyone would feel a great sense of accomplishment.

"Some of the ingredients in this recipe are quite rare. Be very careful while grinding them into powder; waste is unacceptable. When taking it, dissolve it in boiling water. It's best to simmer it gently for optimal efficacy."

After Ling Zhenfei finished giving instructions, the servants attending to Old Master Qiu carefully noted everything, fearing they might miss something crucial.

Ling Zhenfei sat with the old master, chatting while also taking his pulse. The old master's health was quite good, having passed the critical period.

At this moment, they saw someone pushing Qiu Qing over from a distance. Qiu Qing, sitting in a wheelchair, looked in good spirits and was even happier when he saw Ling Zhenfei, greeting him warmly.

Ling Zhenfei was quite puzzled. According to his calculations, Qiu Qian's legs should have healed by now. He wondered why Qiu Qing was still in a wheelchair.

"Uncle Qiu, what is going on? Shouldn't you be able to walk by now?"

Seeing Ling Zhenfei's surprised expression, Qiu Qing suddenly understood and quickly stood up from the wheelchair. He walked a few steps slowly and said, "Look at my brain. I actually forgot to stand up. I can walk now, but I can't go too far. I heard you were coming, so Zhao Ran pushed me over."

Seeing Qiu Qing walk a few steps, Ling Zhenfei finally relaxed. If Qiu Qing still couldn't walk by now, his title of the Divine Doctor would be in vain. Even so, Ling Zhenfei felt that Qiu Qing's recovery was a bit slow.

"Uncle Qiu, to be honest, although the speed of your recovery is already a miracle, I am still a bit dissatisfied. According to my standards, you should be walking briskly by now. Sit down and let me give you a thorough check-up."

Qiu Qing looked a bit surprised but obediently sat back in the wheelchair for Ling Zhenfei to examine.

Ling Zhenfei placed his hand on Qiu Qing's wrist to check his pulse. At this moment, Qiu Qing said to Qiu Qian standing by, "Xiao Qian, go to the kitchen and instruct them to prepare lunch with Divine Doctor Ling. Make several dishes. Also, check the preparations for what you need to prepare to avoid rushing later."

"I've already packed everything," Qiu Qian replied unwillingly, glancing resentfully at Ling Zhenfei. Obviously, she didn't want to go but didn't dare to disobey Qiu Qing's orders, so she reluctantly left.

After Qiu Qian left, Ling Zhenfei removed his hand from Qiu Qing's wrist and said, "Uncle Qiu, your legs are no longer a problem. You can even walk briskly now. Why are you pretending your legs haven't healed?"

Everyone around was stunned by Ling Zhenfei's words, including Old Master Qiu, Qiu Yun, and Jin Zhi, who all looked at Qiu Qing in astonishment.

Qiu Qing was shocked, not expecting Ling Zhenfei to be so skilled that he could see through his act. It was truly incredible.

The reason Ling Zhenfei asked was that he was genuinely curious. Why would someone fully healed choose to continue pretending to be ill?

Qiu Qing said helplessly, "I apologize. Initially, I didn't want to trouble you, sir. I didn't expect your medical arts to be so miraculous that you realized I was feigning illness. In fact, I did this for Qiu Qian."

As Qiu Qing spoke, Ling Zhenfei listened intently, still curious about his motives.

Qiu Qing continued, "Qiu Qian has been spoiled since childhood and has never experienced hardship or setbacks. But to manage the family business, we can't solely rely on us elders; we will pass away one day."

"You've probably heard the old saying 'wealth does not last past three generations.' If Old Master is the first generation, then Qiu Qian and her peers are the third. They have too comfortable a life, with no sense of crisis, and this worries me."

"But what you're saying doesn't seem to relate to why you are pretending to be ill," Jin Zhi said, looking astonished.

Qiu Qian glanced at Jin Zhi. They were fundamentally different people, and Jin Zhi obviously wouldn't understand Qiu Qing's thoughts, but Ling Zhenfei seemed to grasp it a bit.

"I've already told Qiu Qian to manage the family business. Although she's just learning, the business led by He Yun for many years was reclaimed after our divorce. The staff loyal to He Yun will definitely make things difficult for her."

"If I were around, Qiu Qian would definitely rely on me instead of finding ways to solve problems. So I came up with this plan. Let her learn to manage first. Once my legs fully recover, I'll take over. That's why I've been pretending my legs haven't healed."

Everyone around suddenly understood. Only Ling Zhenfei had guessed the answer early. As a father, Qiu Qing had gone to great lengths. It truly showed the depth of parental concern.

At this moment, Qiu Qing suddenly looked at Ling Zhenfei and said, "Actually, I have a selfish thought, and I don't know if I should say it."

Seeing Qiu Qing's expression, Ling Zhenfei had a vague feeling it had something to do with him. Before he could speak, Old Master Qiu said, "Whatever it is, just say it. There are no outsiders here."
