Supernatural Insight Eyes-Chapter 119 - 0117 Three Conditions

Master Shangguan suddenly fainted, causing the entire family to rush over in alarm.

The Shangguan family had a private doctor who treated Master Shangguan immediately.

"How is the old master’s condition?" a middle-aged woman asked.

The doctor put down the stethoscope, covered Master Shangguan with the blanket, and said to everyone, "The cancer cells have begun to spread. I’m afraid he won’t last two months before..."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman sighed and told everyone to leave.

This middle-aged woman was Shangguan Hong’s cousin’s mother and Shangguan Hong’s aunt, a direct descendant of the Shangguan family. In her youth, she married a high-ranking military officer and was an extremely arrogant woman.

"Let’s wait for Shangguan Dao to return. Chief Wang said there might be someone who could treat the old master’s illness," the middle-aged woman said, scanning the crowd.

Most of those present were direct descendants of the Shangguan family, and they were all extremely worried about the old master’s illness, so they could only wait anxiously.

"Why not let Ye Qiu treat Grandpa?" Shangguan Hong broke the silence in the room at that moment.

Ever since the old master suddenly fainted, Ye Qiu had carried Master Shangguan and quickly brought him back to his room.

However, just as Ye Qiu was about to treat the old master, he was stopped by Shangguan Hong’s aunt.

This was also why Shangguan Hong was angry. Her aunt and her mother did not get along, and even after her mother passed away, her aunt still made life difficult for her, including sacrificing her happiness for the power of the family, which was her aunt’s idea.

Her aunt’s reason was simple: "I don’t trust Ye Qiu!"

A person so young, what kind of medical skills could he have? If modern medicine can’t solve the problem, what could Ye Qiu do about it?

Not only did this aunt question Ye Qiu, but everyone else present also doubted him, and no one believed he had the capability to cure the old master.

"If you want him to treat the old master, then tell us what difficult diseases he has cured. Are there any real-life examples? Have you seen them with your own eyes, or is it just hearsay?" the middle-aged woman looked at Shangguan Hong and said indifferently.

"..." Shangguan Hong hadn’t seen Ye Qiu cure anyone. While she knew a bit about Ye Qiu’s abilities, she wasn’t clear about how advanced Ye Qiu’s medical skills were. She had a blind faith in him, convinced that if Ye Qiu said he had a way, he could definitely cure the old master.

While Shangguan Hong could trust Ye Qiu like this, other family members didn’t, and they dared not let an outsider treat the old master carelessly. If something went wrong, the Shangguan family could lose its pillar at any time.

The family members were all watching Shangguan Hong, waiting for her response.

But Shangguan Hong suddenly fell silent, indeed as her aunt said, she had never personally witnessed Ye Qiu’s medical skills.

Seeing this, a flashy young woman standing to the side spoke up; this person was the cousin-in-law Shangguan Hong had seen before.

"Shangguan Hong, our Shangguan family is not like ordinary people. Today, you brought him into the Shangguan family’s door, and we’ve already given you plenty of face, Shangguan Hong. As for wanting this man to treat grandpa, forget it. Your silence just means you don’t really understand him, and how can we dare entrust Grandpa’s life to a stranger?"

The cousin-in-law completely dominated Shangguan Hong, acting as if she was the owner of the house. Then she glanced at Ye Qiu and said, "We don’t blame you, Shangguan Hong, for you also carry the blood of the Shangguan family. As for you, go back where you came from, and don’t think about coming to our Shangguan family to pose and deceive."

"This is not a place for someone like you." The cousin-in-law’s words, spoken without any regard for Shangguan Hong and Ye Qiu’s feelings.

"Cousin, your cousin-in-law is right. This person is just trying to get close to you, wanting to climb up to our Shangguan family. Don’t be deceived by him," the usually meek cousin said too.

Ye Qiu, who had been standing aside silently, didn’t show any anger despite the verbal attacks from the Shangguan family members. On the contrary, he felt like laughing. He now somewhat understood how Shangguan Hong felt, why she was reluctant to return to the family. All things considered, it boiled down to a single point - this family lacked humanity.

Perhaps except for Master Shangguan, other members of the family tended to reject Shangguan Hong.

Ye Qiu knew about Shangguan Hong’s background. Arguably, Shangguan Hong was a pitiful person. Though she was born into this powerful and influential family, she often said she would rather have been born into an ordinary family.

Shangguan Hong’s mother, also the eldest daughter of Master Shangguan, fell in love with Shangguan Hong’s father in her youth. To be with him, she went against the family’s wishes and left the family. A few years later, Shangguan Hong’s father fell seriously ill and passed away. Shangguan Hong’s mother returned to the family with her two children but soon succumbed to depression and passed away, leaving behind young Shangguan Hong and Shangguan Dao.

The treatment Shangguan Hong and Shangguan Dao received was different. Shangguan Dao was a boy and was more valued by the family. Later, he was adopted by the aunt. As for Shangguan Hong, she grew up alone, doted on by Grandpa.

In the entire family, when someone spoke to Shangguan Hong, not a single person, in this family that valued males over females and power over kinship, could make Shangguan Hong care except for Grandpa Shangguan. No wonder Shangguan Hong, wanting to reassure her grandfather, was willing to go against her principles and tentatively agree to the family’s arranged marriage.

Because in this family, the only warmth she had was from her grandfather.

Shangguan Hong’s gaze met Ye Qiu’s, her eyes conveying a hope that Ye Qiu wouldn’t be angry. Ye Qiu understood that Shangguan Hong trusted him; it was just that currently, due to family opposition, he hoped he wouldn’t mind.

This silly woman, even after being bullied like this, still considered his feelings.

Ye Qiu smiled and shook his head, indicating that he didn’t mind. Being underestimated was nothing because Ye Qiu believed that soon, these people would be begging him to take action.

Just when cousins and other relatives of the Shangguan family were giving Ye Qiu looks that screamed ’get lost’, Shangguan Dao returned.

"Young Master Dao is back," a servant hurriedly reported.

"That’s great!" someone excitedly said.

"I wonder if he has managed to bring back the Divine Doctor that Director Wang mentioned?"

While everyone rushed to meet Shangguan Dao, the only people left in the room besides Grandpa Shangguan’s servant were Shangguan Hong and Ye Qiu.

"You’re not angry, are you?" Shangguan Hong said to Ye Qiu with a smile, referring to the unfriendly attitude her family members had just shown towards Ye Qiu, even mocking him.

"Do you want the truth or a lie?" Ye Qiu asked.

"Of course, the truth."

"The truth is, I’m not angry," Ye Qiu said. "Just furious..."

Shangguan Hong glared fiercely at Ye Qiu.

"Let’s go then. Since they went to find the Divine Doctor, we might as well see who this Divine Doctor really is," Shangguan Hong said as she adjusted Grandpa’s blanket again, gazed at him for a while, then turned to Ye Qiu.

Leaving the room, Ye Qiu saw the Shangguan family members gathered around, with Shangguan Dao being the center of attention.

"Hasn’t he been brought here yet?"

"Dao, whatever his conditions are, we agree to them all, just to save the old man," someone said urgently.

"Yes, Grandpa fainted again."

"This man is so arrogantly solitary. If it weren’t for the fact that he might cure Grandpa, I really would like to beat him up," someone complained.

Listening to his family’s complaints, Shangguan Dao’s gaze unintentionally wandered over to a nearby spot where, suddenly, he was startled—how could Ye Qiu be here?

Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure, Shangguan Hong, and then Shangguan Dao understood.

"The man you want to beat up is right there—he’s the Divine Doctor!" Shangguan Dao suddenly spoke up to the relatives who had been talking about beating Ye Qiu, then walked straight towards Ye Qiu.

"What did you say?" Suddenly, everyone’s eyes widened, incredulously looking behind, where besides Shangguan Hong, there was just one young man.

"I must have heard wrong, he is the Divine Doctor we are looking for?"

At this moment, the most surprised were Shangguan Hong’s sister-in-law and cousin. They found it utterly impossible to associate the word ’Divine Doctor’ with Ye Qiu, who appeared exceptionally young.

"If you want me to save someone, agree to my three conditions, and I will agree to cure your family elder’s illness,"

As Shangguan Dao was just about to speak, Ye Qiu was the first to say, then smiled looking at Shangguan Dao.

"What conditions?" Shangguan Dao, bewildered for a moment, asked quietly.
