Chapter 413: One Tenth
Gu Dongxing then explained Nan Mengyu’s “Medicine Sect rules”: “Ignore the first two, but the third—”
“At least one tenth of the estate,” Zhong Zhengwen said, somewhat troubled. “If you give me a specific number, I can give it to you, but it has to come from him personally, and he hasn’t even woken up yet. It’s difficult for me to agree on his behalf.”
Nan Mengyu smiled, “It’s not one tenth of the estate, but at least one tenth of his personal property, no less, I only collect payment if I cure the disease. As for him not being awake—”
Nan Mengyu said, “I will wake him up first and let him decide.”
Zhong Zhengwen was overjoyed: “You can wake him up?”
Nan Mengyu nodded, “Of course I can.”
As she spoke, she transferred Wood Spiritual Energy; this time, the Wood Spiritual Energy entered not through the lungs but directly through the heart, impacting the Spiritual Platform.
Indeed, with just that, Long Zhenghui on the bed opened his eyes. He glanced at his son-in-law and tried calling out, “Ying Jie?”
Zhong Zhengwen hurriedly approached, “Dad, are you awake? I’m Ying Jie.”
“Wasn’t I in the hospital?” Long Zhenghui was puzzled. Thanks to a bit of Spiritual Energy from Nan Mengyu, he was quite spirited now.
“Dad, my comrade knows a Divine Doctor. I’ve brought you over for treatment,” Zhong Zhengwen explained.
“Divine Doctor? My illness was caused by a curse. Can it be cured? Where’s the Divine Doctor?”
Previously, Long Zhenghui had never believed in curses, but this time, he did.
Nan Mengyu sighed inwardly; she was standing right there, but he couldn’t see her.
She had no choice but to speak up, “Old Sir, I am your physician right now.”
Long Zhenghui frowned, “Are you joking? You a young girl, are you in middle school or high school?”
Nan Mengyu knew he wouldn’t believe her.
Zhong Zhengwen hastily explained, “Dad, don’t underestimate this young girl. You’ve heard of Ye Qing from the Ye Family, right? The one married off by her stepmother to Sun Erliang?
She suffered from radiation poisoning and was diagnosed with premature aging, expected to not survive more than three to five years, yet she was cured by her.”
“Oh?” The old man’s sharp gaze turned towards Nan Mengyu.
But Nan Mengyu fearlessly met his gaze, “Old Sir, don’t you find it strange how spirited you are right now?”
Of course, Long Zhenghui found it strange, “Was it you who treated me?”
Nan Mengyu nodded, “I just transferred a bit of Primordial Qi to you. But the treatment hasn’t begun yet. According to Medicine Sect’s rule, I must collect at least one tenth of a patient’s property, more is optional. That’s why I woke you up, to ask for your consent.
Long Zhenghui waved his hand magnanimously, “That’s nothing, just one tenth of the property, given. But—”
“Girl, don’t you know, I have no property at all, so if you take one tenth, won’t you be at a loss?”
Nan Mengyu smiled, “That’s the rule of the Medicine Sect. Treat and save the patient first, collect payment later. More money from the rich, less from the poor, if there’s no money, then it’s free.”
Long Zhenghui praised her, “Good, then anyone can get treated. But how do you know how much money others give? What if someone has ten thousand but only gives you a hundred?”
Nan Mengyu smiled slightly, “I can find that out myself. Alright, since you agreed, I’ll begin the treatment. But first, I need to prepare.” Saying this, she entered a room and closed the door behind her.
