108: by mistake

Chapter 108: A Fortuitous Coincidence

“A patient? What patient?”

In the living room.

Huang Yu was a bit puzzled, then a flash of inspiration hit him, and he remembered a familiar name.

“You’re not talking about Master Xu, are you?”

“How did you know?”

Nie Xiao, on the other end of the phone, looked a little surprised.

Indeed, the patient he was referring to was Master Xu.

In Tianhai City, Master Xu was an extremely special existence.

It was said that Master Xu’s father was already around when the Dragon Kingdom was founded.

And Master Xu was born around that time.

It was said that over the years of Tianhai City’s development, Master Xu navigated between official and underground circles, as well as various forces, and could be said to have made many contributions.

Therefore, even the officials held him in high regard.

No matter which Dao, he was a highly respected figure.

Even the great Families of Tianhai City had to give Master Xu some Face.

And after Nie Xiao returned to Tianhai City, someone suddenly contacted him.

It wasn’t until yesterday that he learned their grandfather was a good friend of Master Xu.

However, he had already passed away many years ago.

Seeing the old friend’s descendant, Master Xu was naturally extremely happy.

And Nie Xiao was also deeply moved; after all, in this world, he didn’t have many relatives or friends.

Now that he had an elder who treated him like Family, how could he not cherish him?

When he met Master Xu, he was already lying in bed, looking utterly frail and critically ill.

No medical treatment seemed to have any effect.

According to the private doctor, he probably only had about half a year left.

And Nie Xiao immediately thought of the young Revered Master who could cure his sister’s illness.

So, after his repeated assurances, Master Xu turned down a doctor recommended by a hospital and accepted his suggestion.

“Huang Yu, perhaps my attitude towards you wasn’t very good before, I’m sorry, but this time, as long as you can cure Master Xu, I, Nie Xiao, will owe you a favor!”

Nie Xiao, on the other end, spoke in a rare gentle tone.

“You said it, I hope you don’t go back on your word.”

“Then I accept.”

Hearing the other party’s words, Huang Yu remained outwardly calm and agreed indifferently.

“Good, I’ll come pick you up right away.”

After hanging up the phone, Huang Yu was almost jumping with excitement.

He had almost forgotten about a figure like Master Xu.

Master Xu did not belong to any Family, as he had no children and always ignored relatives who sought wealth and power.

But in terms of status in Tianhai City, perhaps only the Huang Family could be considered his equal.

In the original plot, Xiao Zhan received the opportunity for the Dragon King Palace to enter Tianhai City only after he cured Master Xu’s illness.

This favor, Huang Yu had long since reserved.

However, he didn’t expect the opportunity to come so quickly, even delivering itself to his doorstep before he had to act.

He naturally wouldn’t miss it.

Soon, Nie Xiao’s car arrived.

Nie Xiao, unseen for a day, was now driving a Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

“Get in.”

Compared to yesterday’s attitude, Nie Xiao’s tone today was significantly better.

Huang Yu nodded.

“But how do you know Master Xu, by the way?”

“Master Xu is a friend of my grandfather; he’s one of the few elders I respect.”

Nie Xiao sighed.

“Master Xu has been so good to me; I don’t want him to just leave like this.”

“If he can be cured, everything is negotiable.”

Listening to Nie Xiao’s tone, Huang Yu pouted.

If he’s cured, everything is negotiable, but if he’s not, does that mean it’s all over?

After all, the Blood Handed Butcher’s temper was not ordinary.

But this was also why he was able to make a name for himself abroad.

However, to be fair, although Nie Xiao was cold and ruthless, he was always very trustworthy.

Curing Master Xu would not only prevent Nie Xiao from becoming his enemy but also earn him a favor.

This was simply too good a deal.

It was undoubtedly bringing the future second-in-command of the Dragon King Palace to his side.

About half an hour later, after several turns, they arrived at a heavily guarded private estate in Tianhai City.

Seeing him approach, Master Xu’s cloudy eyes showed a hint of confusion.

“Aren’t you that kid from the Huang Family? What, is it you that Xiao’er was talking about?”

“Greetings, Master Xu.”

Huang Yu cupped his hands in a bow.

He still held Master Xu in relatively high regard.

In his previous life, when Xiao Zhan’s Dragon King Palace entered Tianhai City, Master Xu initially thought it was just ordinary business conduct, but he didn’t expect it to gradually reveal its wolfish ambitions.

To personally stop this chaos he had inadvertently caused, Master Xu mobilized all his connections and power.

He almost wiped out the Dragon King Palace directly.

In the end, it was Xiao Zhan’s Old Yellow Flower Revered Master who stepped in to resolve it.

It was also because of this that some smaller Families, out of fear, had no choice but to join Xiao Zhan’s camp, becoming his lackeys.

Master Xu nodded.

“Tell me, what exactly are you here for today?”

He sighed.

“You young people just cause so much worry. Won’t your grandfather scold you when you go back?”

“Cause less trouble. The future burden of the Huang Family still rests on your shoulders.”

At this moment, Master Xu resembled more a frail elder, giving final advice to a junior.

After all, his relationship with the Huang Family over the years was still quite deep, especially with Old Master Huang.

They had even fought on the battlefield together back in the day.

It was just that he had rejected all overt worldly glamor and lived in seclusion.

Seeing Huang Yu, he clearly didn’t believe that the other party was the doctor Nie Xiao had mentioned.

More likely, Nie Xiao, the kid, hadn’t been back in the country for too long and had been conned by Huang Yu.

But he wasn’t angry because of it.

“Master Xu, I’m not here to ask you for something; I’m truly here to treat your illness.”

“Yes, Master Xu, please believe him.”

“My sister’s treatment has improved because of him.”

Nie Xiao also seemed a bit anxious at this point.

“Young man, aren’t your words a bit too arrogant?”

Just then, a middle-aged man next to Master Xu spoke up, his stern gaze sweeping over the two.

“I won’t even mention if you’re impersonating someone to climb the social ladder.”

“Especially you, Huang Yu.”

“You’ve been in Tianhai City for so many years; all your secrets have long been dug up and exposed.”

“You say you can cure illnesses? Stop spouting nonsense here!”

Such an existence as Master Xu, the middle-aged man would absolutely not allow anyone to make a fool of him.

“If you know what’s good for you, hurry back and don’t cause trouble here!”

Huang Yu naturally knew that if he didn’t show some real skill today, the people around Master Xu probably wouldn’t believe him.

After all, the most common titles he had received in Tianhai City over the years were ‘young Revered Master’ and ‘lickspittle’.

Anyone seeing him as a doctor who could cure illnesses would be bewildered.

But facing the middle-aged man’s sharp gaze and stern tone, he showed no fear.

Huang Yu slowly walked up to the middle-aged man and met his gaze.

The atmosphere became tense and solidified for a moment.
