"Xiaoxue, there is no need to say more about dad's current situation... Dad also knows that you have a strong personality. You have been like a tomboy since you were a child. You never admit defeat in anything. With that kind of energy, dad was also aiming at this at the beginning and has been paving the way for you.
I thought I could see you take charge of our Du family after leaving my wings, and maintain the current momentum, but now that I think about it, maybe dad’s original intention was wrong from the beginning.”
"A family has its own destiny. If it declines, let it decline. What I regret now is that I didn't get to see you get married and have children..."
Du Xue listened and burst into tears. She buried her head in her father's arms and just nodded.
These words have been spoken between father and daughter many times, but for some reason, they seem extremely sad this time. Perhaps it is because the father and daughter have a tacit understanding that Du Zhanshen will not last long.
When a person is about to die, a certain invisible aura of decay can be felt by himself and his relatives.
"No, Dad, although this guy is annoying, he is the Pavilion Master of Hualong Pavilion. I heard that Hualong Pavilion has excellent medical skills. If he can be the Pavilion Master, he will definitely not be an incompetent person..."
Du Xue wiped away her tears and her eyes were filled with light.
It's a bit self-deceiving.
She was just comforting her father and didn't have much confidence in Bai Che.
That guy can't protect himself. It's hard to say whether he can survive it. Can he really cure his father's old illness?
Even my own old private doctor, a former national medical doctor, was helpless about his father's illness. He had been treated conservatively for many years, but it only treated the symptoms rather than the root cause.
If it weren't for my father's good health, he would have died five years ago if he were an ordinary person.
"It's okay. Dad will be very satisfied if he can still have you by his side in the last few days. As for marriage, don't force it. Your happiness is the most important thing."
Du Zhanshen opened his eyes to his daughter, patted his shoulder, and suggested going for a walk. Falling into sadness was not a good thing after all.
Du Xue, however, was in no mood. She said hello and turned to leave.
After a while, she stepped into Bai Che's room and saw the bed was empty.
He frowned and was about to find someone. Bai Che, who had regained his composure, had already returned to the door.
"How are your medical skills?"
Du Xue adjusted her mood and asked forcefully with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse.
At first glance, Bai Che was holding on to the door frame, breathing heavily. Du Xue felt cold and deflated.
"Get out of the way!"
Just as he was about to push Bai Che away and not ask this question again, Bai Che smiled: "It's okay!"
He was just being humble and didn't know why Du Xue asked so, so naturally he wouldn't say much.
"What do you mean it's okay? I don't care how your Hualong Pavilion messes up the rules, but when it comes to it, I really hope that your Hualong Pavilion is not just a name-seeking person, but someone with real abilities! I don't care about your martial arts strength.
I deny it, I have seen it with my own eyes, but no matter how strong your martial arts strength is, it is worthless to me!"
Du Xue was in a bad mood, and what she said was very straightforward, without considering Bai Che's thoughts at all.
At this point, Bai Che got some clues.
He didn't like to owe people favors. When he saw this, he straightened up slightly and looked more upright. Although his body was still weak, he felt that at least he was no longer so weak and had some energy.
"Are you sick?!"
"You are the one who is sick!"
Du Xue instinctively retorted at Bai Che's question from a straight man like him. After realizing it, she bit her lip to hold back her laughter, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Don't be so pretentious. I admit that I went to the doctor because I was ill, but I don't want you to act recklessly. If something goes wrong, I will really kill you."
Bai Che took a look at the young lady, walked in and fell on the bed, not bothering to respond.
Not to mention that he has inherited ancient medicine, even if he were not like this, you can still see that Du Xue is alive and kicking, and there is no hidden disease anywhere.
You can't let him treat infertility, that's not his scope.
"I'll take you to have a look. I don't have much hope anyway."
Du Xueqing became cold and serious and got to the point.
Bai Che then stood up and followed Du Xue to see Du Zhanshen.
When he saw Du Zhanshen, Bai Che forgot about his current situation and instinctively mobilized his breath, hoping to use an ancient medical technique similar to Qi-gazing to "wait and see" Du Zhanshen's internal meridians and other pulse conditions.
His vision went dark, and his Dantian seemed to explode. He almost choked with anger, staggered, and almost fell to the ground.
