Bai Chen looked at the middle-aged man beside Xu Xue Ning without saying a word. He did not know what to say in response to that question of why he was now standing in front of room 35.
The middle-aged man called the patient in the room his father. This Qi Wang Fu must be his father.
When he saw that Bai Chen was silent, the middle-aged man’s brows furrowed even tighter. His face became even more stressed.
In his mind, this man must have ill intent towards his father.
His dad was not an ordinary man, and neither was he. People wanting to harm his father was a rather common occurrence.
The middle-aged man prepared to put forth the question again. If he did not get an answer this time, he was ready to act.
“Uncle Qi, please don’t be rude to him.”
Before he could say anything, Xu Xue Ning stopped him.
Her face showed panic. Even though she was wearing a surgical mask, it was still not enough to hide her emotions.
Xu Xue Ning was filled with emotions. She felt many things at this moment. There was the joy of seeing Bai Chen again so soon, as well as the many complicated feelings she had for him. But most of all, what she felt now was panic.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFrom what Uncle Qi, or Qi Huang, had said and his facial expression, she could tell that he was being rude to Bai Chen.
Bai Chen who, to her eyes, was a Legendary Realm cultivator, should not be offended under any circumstances.
She was really scared. If Bai Chen got angry, the rage of a Legendary Realm cultivator was something that was beyond frightening.
Or to put it in other words, the rage of a Legendary Realm cultivator was beyond words, it cannot be explained how terrifying it would be!
Because of that, she had to stop her uncle from being impolite to Bai Chen.
Even though she was not very close to Qi Huang, he was her father’s friend. For that reason, she warned him so that he could avoid the annihilation Bai Chen’s rage might bring.
Qi Huang gave a start when he heard Xu Xue Ning’s words. He turned back to look at Xu Xue Ning’s face with slight alarm.
He did not know her really well. But he knew that she did not lose her calm that easily.
She was usually very calm and very kind towards others.
“Xu Xue Ning, who is this man?” Qi Huang asked Xu Xue Ning quietly.
He believed her words. The fact that she told him not to be impolite must mean that this was no ordinary man!
This young man must be someone who was even more powerful than Qi Huang himself... who was now one of the ten most powerful generals in China!
Yes! This Qi Huang was a very powerful general. He had power that was comparable to General Huang Qian’s.
No, he could be slightly even more powerful since he had received his honor three years before Huang Qian.
“Uncle Qi, I cannot tell you that. But if it is him, Grandpa Qi might stand a chance of surviving...”
She heard what her uncle Qi Huang asked. But Xu Xue Ning could not tell him that in her eyes Bai Chen was akin to a god.
“I... is that true?!?”
Almost instantly, Qi Huang’s body trembled harshly as though he had been struck by lightning. He screamed out loud.
Bai Chen was a few steps away. He heard the whole conversation.
Thus, he heard Qi Huang’s scream loud and clear.
Xu Xue Ning nodded at her uncle. She knew very well that cultivators had very good senses. Of course, Bai Chen, who was in the Legendary Realm, would have heard everything.
Still, Xu Xue Ning said everything aloud. Her thoughts now were really complicated.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe had spent these past few days considering what Zheng Fang had told her. She did not know if that was the truth or not.
Xu Xue Ning wanted very much to learn the answer. Thus, she took this opportunity to do it!
If Bai Chen agreed to help again this time, it could mean that he was really interested in her like Zheng Fang had said.
Xu Xue Ning looked at Bai Chen before taking a deep breath. She ignored Qi Huang who was standing completely still and talked to Bai Chen right away.
“Mr. Bai Chen, it is my honor to meet you again so soon.”
Her voice was really melodious and appealing. It was not all shaky like when she met Bai Chen before this. And she did not have any urge to call him ‘elder’ like before either. Her words were still quite formal though.
“If it is not too much trouble, I have something I need your help with.”
“What is it?” Bai Chen replied instantly.
In his mind, he guessed that Xu Xue Ning must want to ask him to help the person in the hospital room called Qi Wang Fu, Qi Huang’s father, for sure. He was sure because he had heard what they were discussing earlier.
Of course, Bai Chen was quite happy to help. He had come here to complete the Life-Changing System’s mission anyway.
Xu Xue Ning hesitated a little before saying, “I want you to heal Grandfather Qi who is in this room. Could you help me?”
Bai Chen hesitated. He pretended to be thinking. But before long, he nodded in agreement. “All right.”
With his agreement, Xu Xue Ning was now sure about what she had wanted to know. Her body shook lightly, while her face showed the complicated emotions in her heart had just gotten much more complicated.
‘He really has an interest in me,’ she thought to herself quietly.End of Chapter 149
