Chen Si, dragging his battered body from Sheng Jing’s beating, dared not waste a moment and hurriedly left.

After about four or five minutes, Qin Lu returned driving. This time, with Qin Lu at the wheel, Nan Yan sat in the passenger seat.

Qin Lu rolled down the window and spoke in a low voice, “Lead the way.”

Sheng Jing, agile and handsome, mounted his horse with a swift movement. With a flick of his whip, he urged the sweat-blood horse forward.

Due to the rarity of outsiders in the town, passersby watched them as they passed. But with Sheng Jing present, even if they were curious, they didn’t dare approach. As the Third Young Master of the prominent family, he was held in high regard by the townsfolk, akin to a master.

The sweat-blood horse stopped outside a serene estate. Sheng Jing dismounted, and after Qin Lu and Nan Yan’s group got out of the car, he said warmly, “The Divine Physician Hua and Mr. Sun are inside. Please, follow me.”

“Be careful, little junior sister,” Fu Yubai warned.

The incident with Chen Si had left Fu Yubai with no favorable impression of the Sheng family. Despite Sheng Jing appearing polite and upright, it didn’t change Fu Yubai’s negative impression. He didn’t want Nan Yan to have too much contact with the Sheng family unless necessary. Dealing with such an ancient and powerful family was best kept to a minimum.

“I understand,” Nan Yan nodded slightly.

Gu Chen also wanted to remind Nan Yan, but Fu Yubai beat him to it, so he remained silent.

After all, among the four of them, three were powerful figures, and he was just an ordinary person. He only wanted to avoid causing trouble for them as much as possible.

Fu Yubai conversed with Nan Yan without deliberately lowering his voice, partly intending for Sheng Jing to hear.

Sheng Jing could only sigh wryly. He had hoped to leave a good impression on Nan Yan, but Sheng Yuanhang’s men had ruined it all.

He hoped that after they met Divine Physician Hua and Mr. Sun and understood the situation, some of their hostility towards him would diminish.

In the exquisitely decorated room, filled with an antique and luxurious aura, Hua Shifang and Sun Chan were seated beside a square table made of red sandalwood, accompanying an elderly man who appeared somewhat frail but still in decent spirits as he sipped tea.

The purple clay teapot used for brewing the tea was also an antique, acquired by Sheng’s ancestors over a hundred years ago at an auction for over ten million yuan. Its current valuation exceeded three billion yuan.

Such a high-level antique, if in the possession of other collectors, would undoubtedly be carefully preserved in a secure vault. But in the Sheng family, it was simply used for tea.

The tea leaves steeped in the purple clay teapot were also top-grade Pu’er tea, costing tens of thousands of yuan per ounce.

Just from these daily practices, one could see how wealthy and extravagant the Sheng family was.

Sheng Mingtang had only recently awakened from his coma. Due to his weakened condition, it was not suitable for him to drink regular tea. So, in his teacup, there was a tonic tea to replenish his qi and nourish his blood.

After finishing a cup, he looked at the two men and said, “Mr. Hua, Mr. Sun, you saved my life. Regardless of any request, I will try my best to fulfill it. However, I hope you can wait until my body is fully recovered before leaving. Is that acceptable?”

Accustomed to the demeanor of those in high positions, even though Hua Shifang and Sun Chan had saved his life, Sheng Mingtang’s tone implied that their saving him was almost a stroke of luck for them.

His request was just that—a request. In his eyes, Hua Shifang and Sun Chan would not refuse. They would readily agree as soon as he proposed it.

Putting down his teacup, Hua Shifang furrowed his brow before responding in a formal tone, “As for the reward for saving you, I will accept the corresponding consultation fee. Now that you have been out of danger, you only need to follow the dietary prescriptions I have left behind, and your body will naturally gradually recover.”

“Both my junior brother and I have important matters to attend to and cannot stay here.”
