Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1544 - 688: Never Too Old to Be Strong (Part 2)

Right then, Ding Hui suddenly spoke.

"Lord Nanyuan Xian, we can talk about the lodging issue later. But those few bottles of Water of Tranquility your young master gave us are quite interesting."

Nanyuan Xian burst into loud laughter at that.

"What Soothing Heart Remedy? It’s just a small trick; how can it compare to Divine Doctor Ding’s life-saving arts, your..."

Great, he actually took Ding Hui’s words as flattery.

Fang Yu grumbled in his heart.

Naturally, Ding Hui started to get impatient and suddenly cut him off.

"You have the original Water Poison, don’t you?"

As soon as these words came out, Nanyuan Xian, who had just been talking so confidently, went silent on the spot.

Off to the side, Nanyuan En’s expression changed slightly, completely beyond his control.

But among those present, only his expression showed any change; the other old hands of the world didn’t bat an eye.

"Hahaha! Divine Doctor Ding, do you know what you’re saying? Everyone knows that this Water Poison was laid by that demon woman of the Lin Family. Naturally, the original Water Poison would only be in Lin Liang’s possession. And the one who finally killed Lin Liang should be that Young Master Diao at Divine Doctor Ding’s side, right? I was just wondering why Divine Doctor Ding so quickly found a way to treat people—could it be... Lin Liang had the antidote formula on her, and Young Master Diao took it?"

Nanyuan Rong, who hadn’t said a word until now, suddenly spoke.

While biting back, there was also a hint of hostility in his tone.

Fang Yu took a step forward, shielding Ding Hui behind him, and at the same time smiled as he took a stance directly opposite Nanyuan Rong.

"Great Elder Nanyuan, you fling slander so casually—do you think the two of us husband and wife are easy to bully? We came with sincerity, yet you splash us all over with filth. Darling, if you ask me, it looks like the Nanyuan Family doesn’t have much sincerity either."

As he spoke, Fang Yu directly released a surge of aura!

Boom!!

An invisible wave of Qi instantly erupted from Fang Yu and swept outward!

Nanyuan En and his father, who had just wanted to cut in, were immediately forced back several steps by this wave of Qi, their expressions changing on the spot!

The others were also quite capable; naturally they felt the shift in the situation in the room. Instinctively they all stood up from their seats, their gazes locking firmly onto Fang Yu.

"Hm?!"

As the strongest in the room and the one facing this impact head-on, Nanyuan Rong felt the force of this Qi wave in the most direct way!

His feet suddenly stomped down on the floor, and his own aura surged outward as well.

The two waves of Qi collided in the middle...

Boom!!

The air between them suddenly burst with a loud bang, then exploded like a hurricane in the center, sweeping up the surrounding chairs and wooden tables, flinging them quickly against the walls and onto the floor.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang!

In an instant, the furnishings in the room were in complete disarray, wood splinters scattered everywhere, and the air was thick with the heavy smell of timber.

Who won?

Or rather, who had the upper hand?

Nanyuan En looked at the two men nervously.

He saw Fang Yu’s clothes neat and unruffled; the gust from just now seemed not to have affected him in the slightest.

Growing up in his family, Nanyuan En had been influenced since childhood, so he understood a bit about the affairs of such powerhouses.

Obviously, it wasn’t that Fang Yu truly went unaffected, but that he used an even stronger Qi Force to suppress the shockwave caused by the explosion.

You could see the clue from the fact that even Ding Hui beside Fang Yu had her clothes perfectly tidy, without any sign of disturbance.

So strong!

That was Nanyuan En’s first reaction.

Then came...

Thankfully, I recruited him into our household!

A Divine Doctor, in a situation where Water Poison has infected the entire city, the influence he can wield goes without saying.

And beside this Divine Doctor, there is even a super Martial Artist who can rival the Nanyuan Family’s Great Elder!

This buy-one-get-one-free deal is a huge profit!

Suddenly, Nanyuan En felt that the offer they’d put on the table was a bit too small.

Just Fang Yu alone was enough for their Nanyuan Family to show their utmost sincerity in inviting him!

Not to mention, there’s a Divine Doctor on top of that.

In contrast, on the Great Elder’s side, his clothes were disheveled, the hems looking like they’d been shaken violently, creased beyond recognition, and even his expression was a bit wan and ugly.

Although he still stood there without moving, Nanyuan En knew that he was just toughing it out, pretending nothing was wrong.

In reality, the already-injured Great Elder’s condition had very likely worsened after this clash.

His body had only just recovered a little; he mustn’t have another accident.

As the Nanyuan Family’s strongest battle power at present, the Great Elder cannot fall!

"Diao... Young Master Diao..."

Nanyuan En wanted to say something, but his father Nanyuan Xian beside him stopped him.

And then...

Clap!

Clap!

Clap!

Nanyuan Xian started clapping.

"As expected of the mighty one who personally cut down the Lin Family remnant—this level of strength is truly astonishing! Young Master Diao, on behalf of the entire Nanyuan Family, I solemnly apologize for my second brother’s actions just now! As a token of sincerity for this apology, I will not conceal anything regarding Divine Doctor Ding’s question just now!"

Nanyuan Xian looked at Ding Hui and said seriously, "Divine Doctor Ding, to tell the truth, our Nanyuan Family truly does not have the Lin Family’s original Water Poison. However... you really have an eye for treasure. When we searched the Lin Family ruins, we did obtain some items related to their Water Poison, which is how our Nanyuan Family was able to research the Water of Tranquility. If Divine Doctor Ding is interested, I will personally send this item over for you to examine later. As compensation, would Young Master Diao and Divine Doctor Ding be satisfied?"

This old fox really knows who to talk to.

Fang Yu looked back at Ding Hui behind him, and she suddenly leaned close.

"That depends on my husband’s opinion. My husband’s opinion is my opinion."

Fang Yu was speechless.

Everyone can see you’re the one calling the shots, yet you’re kicking the ball back to me.

To be honest, Ding Hui’s move left Fang Yu a bit unsure whether to go along with the step-down or keep pushing to squeeze a bit more benefit out of them.

And just then...

"...Young Master Diao, splendid skills."

The Great Elder Nanyuan Rong spoke up.

The old man had clearly caught his breath; although his complexion was a little flushed, it was no longer an issue, unlike just now when he was holding in a breath and would’ve exposed his weakened state the moment he spoke.

"Great Elder, still vigorous in your old age."

Fang Yu immediately returned the politeness.

He’d already established his prestige; there was no need to keep posturing.

Letting the Nanyuan Family understand the situation was enough; keep pretending any longer and it might have the opposite effect.

After all, they were here at the Nanyuan Family to tap into resources, not to kill and burn.

"Hahaha! No, I can’t deny old age anymore. Brother, treat Young Master Diao and the others well; I’ll head back to my room to rest for a bit."

"Leave it to me, go without worry."

Nanyuan Rong took his leave. Seeing this, the others vaguely understood what was going on and also excused themselves.

In no time, only Fang Yu, Ding Hui, and the father-and-son pair Nanyuan En remained in the room.

With fewer people around, the formalities at the scene dropped; this was essentially a private discussion now.

"Lord Nanyuan Xian, what a grand show. My husband and I have only just arrived at the Nanyuan Family, and we’re treated like this. It seems the Nanyuan Family isn’t truly sincere about taking us in as a couple."

Now Ding Hui began to put on an act.

Fang Yu didn’t quite understand why Ding Hui hadn’t taken this stance in public earlier and waited until now to act it out.

If Ding Hui had given him a hint earlier, he would’ve started maneuvering right in front of everyone.

"Misunderstanding! A huge misunderstanding. Divine Doctor Ding, my second brother is just a martial fanatic. When he heard that Young Master Diao’s Divine Skill is peerless under heaven, he just had to test it. See, isn’t he being obedient now? But since it was our fault in the end, whatever requests you two have, just bring them up—we’ll do our best to fulfill them!"

This was quite a hefty promise.

Ding Hui’s lips curled slightly.

"First, bring up that Water Poison-related item from the Lin Family’s legacy you mentioned and let me have a look. As for other compensation, I’ll write up a list for you later. Don’t worry, we won’t make things hard for you; they’ll all be common items, that’s all."

This...

Whether it’s "common" or not is all in how you move your lips.

Nanyuan Xian felt a bit worried in his heart, but he still agreed at once and told Nanyuan En to go fetch the item.

"No need to worry so much. Do you think I’d make the Nanyuan Family pay for nothing? Once I’ve developed the Water Poison Antidote, aside from what we keep for ourselves, all the rest will be handed over to the Nanyuan Family to manage and sell. Think of the future profits—compared to that, what does this little outlay count for now?"
