Chapter 388 Reward and Betting Agreement

But he was curious about how Bai Qing had found his excellent medical skills, for he remembered that when Bai Qing was investigating him, he was only a nameless medical college graduate.

Although he showed his good skills in Diannan, that was not enough for Bai Qing to trust him so much, wasn’t it? After all, Yingjili Royal Family’s doctor could not even find out the cause of Halidan’s disease.

When he spoke of this doubt, Bai Qing smiled meaningfully. “Because my family name is Bai.”

“If your family name is not Bai, you want to take my family name ‘Ding’ as yours?”

Ding Ning rolled his eyes unhappily because he hated such a pretentious look most. It was not frank or righteous at all, so he silently decided that he would not send the Black Tiger ornament he prepared to send him as the rest payment for the villa.

Bai Qing was not angry and only said a few words, which made Ding Ning greatly surprised. “I can’t take your family name as mine, but my cousin may have the chance.”

“Your cousin? Who?”

Ding Ning was confused and did not know when Bai Qing got a cousin.

Bai Qing smiled very proudly. “My cousin’s previous family name is Bai, but her current family name is Qiao.”

“Qiao Qiao? She is your cousin? Her mother is your aunt?”

Ding Ning was astonished but suddenly thought of what Qiao Qiao said. Her mother’s family name was Bai, so when she went to college, she used Bai Qinglian as her name. This sounded so incredible for him. “This world is too small.”

Bai Qing seemed very satisfied with his astonishment and shaking his head, said, “Yes, so you might become my cousin’s husband someday.”

“No, don’t do the wrong matchmaking. Qiao Qiao and I are classmates, and our relationship is not as complicated as you think.”

Ding Ning’s voice had the resentment that he himself was not aware of, and he did not dare to imagine that he would call the old man who had trampled on all his dignity father-in-law someday.

“Forget it. I won’t meddle in your business. Anyway, I think you are great.”

Bai Qing patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile.

“Don’t think I am great, I… wait, but this means that you and Mayor Du…”

Ding Ning suddenly realized something. “Mayor Du’s wife is Qiao Qiao’s aunt, and Bai Qing’s aunt is Qiao Qiao’s mother. This means that Bai Qing and Mayor Du are relatives. That’s why this guy always looks carefree and focuses on making money. The truth is that he relies on this relationship.”

This explained the reason why Bai Qing was so sure that Ding Ning could find out the cause of Halidan’s disease. Since a vegetative patient who stayed in bed for two years could be awoken, such a magical medical skill was worth his trust.

Being very smart, Bai Qing had got the rest meaning of his words, gave a small smile, and shaking his head, said, “It’s not like what you think, and you will know when you go to Yan Jing in the future.”

“Yan Jing? Why do I need to go to Yan Jing? Not interested!”

Ding Ning said without showing his attitude, but he muttered inwardly, “It seems that both the Bai Family and the Qiao Family are great families with extraordinary backgrounds.”

“You will go. If you don’t believe me, let’s make a wager.”

Bai Qing smiled confidently.

“Not interested!”

Ding Ning refused him unhesitatingly. After all, Yan Jing was the capital of Shenzhou. As a man of Shenzhou, he was bound to go there and take a look.

More importantly, once the clinical test result of Rice Bean Oral Solution came out, No. 1 Chief would decorate him, and he was bound to go to Yan Jing. Unless he was an idiot, he would not make a wager that he was sure to lose.

Bai Qing gave a smile and did not mind it. Although he had learned lots of things about Ding Ning, he still had no idea about the matter of Rice Bean Oral Solution. The trip he mentioned only referred to the visit to his cousin Qiao Qiao.

From his point of view, if Ding Ning wanted to live with his cousin Qiao Qiao with his identity and status, he would have to withstand unbearable resistance, but he inexplicably believed that as long as Ding Ning wanted it, he would make it.

His inexplicable trust came from his sharp eyes and the quality potential Ding Ning showed.

Since he knew Ding Ning’s outstanding medical skills, incredible martial arts skills, and magical carving techniques, Bai Qing believed that Ding Ning’s future achievements would not be less brilliant than anyone else’s, and even the Qiao Family would have to admire him someday.

“Halidan is a very good friend of mine, and the most important thing is that he is rich.”

Bai Qing whispered filthily in Ding Ning’s ear, making Ding Ning criticize him inwardly, “Can anyone like you hurt a friend like this?”

Bai Qing’s behavior made him unhappy, but he had a very good impression of Halidan, who was a hearty and polite prince. If the patient were Hengli with that bad attitude, he would ignore anyone’s persuasion and turn around and leave immediately.

Of course, the cause of Halidan’s disease that Yingjili Royal Family’s doctor could not find out also aroused his great curiosity.

Being top medical experts in the world, Yingjili Royal Family’s doctors were well-known internationally and would never be those only with a good name.

“Prince Halidan, now let me feel your pulse, and let your bodyguards keep calm.”

Ding Ning walked smilingly to Halidan’s bed and said.

Halidan reached out his hand to order his four bodyguards to stay where they were when they were ready to move as they saw Ding Ning approaching him. “He has come to treat my disease. You guys, don’t be nervous.”

“Yes, Your Highness!”

The four bodyguards said yes, but they still tightened their muscles, ready to move. Once they found any of Ding Ning’s harmful behavior, they would react instantly.

Ding Ning was surprised silently. “The four bodyguards of Halidan are real master-level Turning Energy practitioners, but these people are willing to be bodyguards. This proves that money makes the mare go.”

But this situation was easy to understand. The resources that a warrior needed in practice were large amounts, but where should those individual practitioners without powerful family backgrounds get money from to buy practicing materials? So, money was a must.

After serving the rich people as bodyguards for several years, they would have large sums of money to buy resources such as herbs, weapons, treasures, and others that could help them improve their fighting powers. Why not do it? So, even the Turning Energy masters could not avoid this earthly action.

Of course, if warriors became masters, they would not accept such employment. For them, this was an insult.

Masters without powerful backgrounds would usually choose to become the Gods of powerful families. In normal times, they would use the resources these families provided to attentively practice. When these families were in danger, they would help them. This would show their high position’s style but would not disgrace other strong practitioners who had also become masters.

For Ding Ning, this was playing the ostrich in nature because they still served as the beaters of powerful families, but he had to admit that their employment relationship was somewhat different. It was on a much more advanced level.

After all, masters could not be insulted. Even these family owners had to treat these masters with respect, should never arrogantly give orders to them like their servants, and had to kindly ask for their help, but these masters could say no.

A master like Xiahou was absolutely a special example because he wanted to pay his debt of gratitude and was willing to be their bodyguard.

“Oh!”

“Ah!”

Ding Ning put his hand on Halidan’s pulse and used his Absolute Touch to carefully examine the abnormalities inside Halidan’s body. As his expressions kept changing, he could not help but give an “oh”, but Halidan looked painful and moaned.

“What about it? Is it that you still can’t find the cause?”

Hengli came over and asked nervously because Halidan’s coming to Shenzhou was due to his persuasion. If the cause was still not found, he would be ashamed of continuing to stay in Shenzhou to look for the Master of the Divine Burin and have to escort him back and think about other solutions.

Ding Ning glanced at him and reproached unceremoniously, “I’m treating the patient. Be quiet!”

Hengli pursed his lips but did not go furious as Ding Ning thought. Unexpectedly, he closed his mouth obediently, so Ding Ning’s impression of him became a little better.

The corner of Bai Qing’s eye throbbed, and he had a helpless expression. “In this world, only this extremely bold guy dares to treat Hengli as nobody so important. This is a prince of the Yingjili Royal Family, and I even have to be a little careful talking to him.”

But he did not know that Ding Ning went wild with joy at the moment. If he had not felt Halidan’s pulse, he would not have found that his Absolute Touch had surprisingly evolved.

Yes, it was evolution. Previously, his Absolute Touch could only display a stereo image in his brain, but later when he treated Wang Guoliang’s wounds in Diannan, to save his superpower, he inadvertently found that he could adjust his superpower when he wanted and use it to examine the specific body parts and amplify them tens of thousands of times.

But now, a clear stereo image of Halidan’s entire body and a cursor-like little finger beside it appeared in his brain, and he could use it to touch the stereo image at will.

Just now when he gave out an “oh”, it was because of the appearance of the little finger icon. With an idea to try it, he moved the little finger to poke Halidan’s heart. As a result, he surprisingly found that it could be moved, and Halidan moaned also because he suddenly poked his heart.

Ding Ning was overjoyed because the appearance of the little finger was quite significant. With it, he could directly treat the common ailments in his brain.

This was like playing a “Find Differences” game. If he could clearly remember a normal person’s body structure, he could take out the foreign matters that were bad for the person’s health directly with the little finger.

“What are your symptoms?”

Initially, Ding Ning thought that he could find the cause of his disease with his Absolute Touch soon, so he did not even ask his patient, but after examining his body three times, he surprisingly found that Halidan was exceptionally healthy. Apart from a mild stomach ulcer, he had no other problems. That was why even the Chief Royal Doctor of Yingjili could not find the cause of his disease.

So, he realized that Halidan’s condition was probably a deep microscopic problem. In other words, it could not be detected by using Western medical detecting equipment.

For microbes like rice and beans, even he had a high-power microscope, it would be difficult for him to find them in such a short time if he could not check and tell them with his Absolute Touch by magnifying them 10,000 times in his mind.

So, he needed to ask Halidan about his focus of infection and then locate it for microscopic search; otherwise, his superpower was not enough to support him to search all parts of Halidan’s body.

“Dear Bai, you said that your friend is excellent at medical treatment, but he still can’t find the cause of the disease, can he? I’m so disappointed.”

Prince Hengli said sarcastically, so Bai Qing was a little displeased and looked at Ding Ning apologetically. “Hengli, don’t be anxious. Traditional Chinese medicine stresses looking, smelling, asking, and feeling (the pulse). Just now, Ding Ning was feeling the pulse, and now asking his patient is also a normal procedure. Besides, I have never guaranteed that Ding Ning could find the cause.”

“Humph, I hope he is really capable.”

Immediately, Hengli did not know what to say. Indeed, Bai Qing had never guaranteed that Ding Ning could cure Halidan, but it was he who wanted to get the jade ornament of the Master of the Divine Burin, so he persuaded Halidan to come to Shenzhou.

He knew that he was wrong and shrugged off, pretending to be disapproved, but he became even more hopeless about Ding Ning’s ability.

The little good impression of Hengli that Ding Ning had just had disappeared immediately. It was said that Yingjili people valued etiquette and gentlemanliness most, but he did not find any politeness a gentleman should have from Prince Hengli but only the arrogance in his bones. Yes, Ding Ning was quite unhappy with the man’s pride and prejudice.
