Ma Jianfeng's attitude was very humble. After all, he had a favor to ask, and his bastard son had offended him. So, he stood outside the car window, bowed, and smiled, covering up the gloomy feelings in his heart.
Bam …
Tan Xiu came out of the car. After closing the door, he looked at Ma Jianfeng and nodded. "That's right. I'm Tan Xiu. What's your name?"
"Ma Jianfeng, Jian as in construction and Feng as in mountain peak."
"It turns out to be Patriarch Ma. Nice to meet you."
Tang Xiu let out a smile. He was not the kind of hot-headed young man who was full of youthful vigor. Since the Ma Family's Patriarch had put himself in such a humble position, it was not good for him to act too arrogant. The Ma Family was, after all, one of the biggest families in Tianjing City. It was not easy for Ma Jianfeng to do this.
They shook hands, chatted, and laughed.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Tan Xiu slowly said, "I already know Patriarch Ma's intention for going through so much trouble. But let's get the ugly words out of the way first. I don't know anything about the Ma Family's old patriarch's condition. I don't even know what kind of illness it is, so I don't dare to guarantee that I can cure him. "
Ma Jianfeng put away his smile and seriously said, "I understand what you said, Divine Doctor Tang. But I hope you can do your best. It can be said that you're the last life-saving straw to cure my father. We'll try our best to fulfill your request no matter what it is."
A strange light flashed in Tan Xiu's eyes. He waved and said, "Treating and saving people is the duty of us doctors, so forget about the request. I've heard that the Ma Family is a very good family with a good reputation both in Tianjing City and the whole country. "
"You flatter me, Divine Doctor Tang," said Ma Jianfeng modestly. "Actually, I'm ashamed that my reckless son offended you. I'll make him apologize to you and sincerely apologize to you, Divine Doctor Tang. "
"Your son?"
Tan Xiu deliberately pretended to be confused and asked with a puzzled face.
Ma Jianfeng stared blankly and asked in surprise, "You don't know Ma Xiaorong, Divine Doctor Tang? He is my fourth son. "
Tang Xiu's face instantly turned cold. Under the watchful eyes of the Ma Family, he opened the car's door and sat inside. Then, he spoke to Mo Awu through the window in a deep voice, "Awu, go back to Shanghai."
Ma Jianfeng's heart thumped and he quickly said with a smile, "Divine Doctor Tang, you're … I know it's all my son's fault. A great man like you shouldn't stoop to petty offenses committed by a lowly man like me. Please don't stoop to my good-for-nothing son's level."
Tan Xiu replied indifferently, "I originally thought that the Ma Family was as good as rumored, but I didn't expect that the descendants of this family are so unbearable. My friend told me that Ma Xiaorong is a hooligan from Tianjing City. He uses his family's power to commit crimes. I've seen it for myself! Last night, he bullied a girl at Mingyuan Resort and ordered his group of bodyguards to besiege me. If I didn't know some martial arts, I'm afraid I would have been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. "
Ma Jianfeng was shocked inwardly. Although he knew that his fourth son was usually ignorant and incompetent, he didn't expect him to be such a debauchee. Bullying a girl? Ordering his bodyguards to besiege others?
Suddenly …
Ma Jianfeng felt that his punishment for his son was too light. If he had known earlier, he would have whipped him dozens of times to make him remember the family's ancestral teachings clearly. Not only him, but many of the core members of the Ma Family who came with Ma Jianfeng also heard Tan Xiu's words clearly. For a time, everyone's face was filled with anger and their evaluation of Ma Xiaorong was extremely bad.
In fact …
They had done some shameful things, but there was a reason for it. Perhaps it was because of personal grudges or for some benefits. They had never stirred up trouble for no good reason and acted like a tyrant.
Ma Jianfeng took a deep breath and seriously said, "Divine Doctor Tang, it's the father's fault for not teaching his son properly. I used to focus on developing the Ma Family and neglected to discipline my son. You can rest assured that I'll definitely keep a close eye on him in the future and guarantee that he won't do anything bad again. Although I've punished him this time, it's still not enough. I'll make him taste the consequences of his wrongdoings later. "
Tan Xiu was silent for half a minute. Then, he slowly took out a cigarette and lit it up. After taking a puff, he exhaled the smoke and said, "I can treat and save people, but the visiting fee is indispensable. I hope you can accept my request. "
"That's only natural. We'll definitely accept it."
Ma Jianfeng was depressed! As the Ma Family's Patriarch, he was naturally astute and astute. How could he not hear the anger in Tan Xiu's heart at this moment?
But!
He couldn't blame him for this! Had it not been for his son offending him, perhaps he wouldn't have made such a ridiculous request. After all, he was a Divine Doctor! If one wanted to become a Divine Doctor, the most important thing was to have medical ethics, in addition to having magical medical skills.
Behind him, the other core members of the Ma Family had their mouths twitch. They hated Ma Xiaorong inside. If it wasn't for that bastard brat, their Ma Family wouldn't have been slaughtered by him, right? If … if Tan Xiu's request was too excessive, they must advise the Patriarch to break that bastard brat's leg.
It took nearly an hour for the convoy to leave the high-speed service area to arrive at the Ma Family's Manor. More than 20 cars rushed into the manor and directly stopped in front of the antique pavilion where the Ma Family's old patriarch lived in the northernmost area.
"Huh?"
Tan Xiu's expression slightly moved as soon as he got off the car. With his eyesight, he could easily see the Feng Shui layout of the Ma Family's Manor, especially the antique pavilion in front of him. It was like a finishing touch that activated the entire Feng Shui layout of the Ma Family's Manor.
Fortune?
A prosperous family?
A century-old clan?
Tan Xiu finally understood why the Ma Family could go smoothly all these years and develop to such a huge extent. With such a Feng Shui layout, even if the Ma Family's leader was a fool, he wouldn't let the family fall. It was no wonder that Ma Jianfeng alone had four sons.
"It seems that your Ma Family's ancestors have met a benefactor!"
Tan Xiu turned his head to look at Ma Jianfeng, who was walking over, and said indifferently.
"What do you mean by that, Divine Doctor Tang?" Asked Ma Jianfeng doubtfully.
"It's nothing. I just couldn't help but sigh after seeing the characteristics of the Feng Shui layout of your Ma Family's Manor," said Tan Xiu indifferently.
"You also know Feng Shui?" Asked Ma Jianfeng, surprised.
"If there's no need to be modest, my attainments in Feng Shui should be better than my medical skills," said Tan Xiu with a faint smile. "Your Ma Family's Feng Shui layout has the East Gate attracting the Rising Sun Violet Qi, the North Gate locking the fortune and fortune, the South Gate leading to the Grand Avenue, and the West Gate leading to a roundabout path, bringing thousands of descendants. This pavilion is the eye of the array formation, so presumably there's a small spiritual vein underground that can continuously condense energy. If your father had lived here for a long time, perhaps I would've known the cause of his illness. "
Ma Jianfeng sucked in a cold breath and looked at Tang Xiu with a shocked expression. The Ma Family's Feng Shui layout was created by a powerful Feng Shui Master a hundred years ago. That Feng Shui Master spent more than half a year to complete the arrangement with great painstaking efforts.
It had been nearly a hundred years.
No one had ever been able to see through the mysteries of their Ma Family's land. Never did he expect that Tan Xiu would be able to see through the entire Feng Shui layout so thoroughly.
"You're right, Divine Doctor Tang," said Ma Jianfeng hurriedly. "My father has indeed lived in this pavilion all year round. His health was originally very good, and he was still as strong as a young man even at the age of 70. But I don't know why, but his body has been aging at a frightening speed since the end of this year. So much so that he's almost in a comatose state now and only wakes up occasionally. "
Tan Xiu shook his head and said, "Your Ma Family's providence is too prosperous. You've been prosperous for a hundred years, and the accumulated good fortune has finally condensed on one person — your father. Naturally, he's in good health. Even for many years, he's never been sick or stricken, and his health is astounding. It's just a pity … "
Having said that …
Tan Xiu sighed deeply and strode into the pavilion.
"The power of providence?"
The moment Tang Xiu stepped into the attic's door, he immediately sensed the rich power of providence inside. This power of providence was extremely special. Although it was not as rich as the massive power of providence stored in the treasure inside his interspatial ring, it was still not to be underestimated.
Absorb!
Tan Xiu silently operated the Heavenly Art of Cosmic Genesis and calmly absorbed the providence power here. He didn't need Ma Jianfeng to point the way and walked step by step toward the stairs. After coming to a room on the second floor, he directly pushed the door and entered. His eyes then fell on an old man lying on the bed.
Others couldn't see it, but he could clearly see that the old man lying on the bed was enveloped by the colorful power of Karmic Luck. Because the power of Karmic Luck was so dense, even the old man's essence, energy, and spirit were being absorbed by the power of Karmic Luck. At this rate, the old man on the bed would completely lose his essence, energy, and spirit and die in half a month at most.
Tan Xiu turned his head and looked at Ma Jianfeng and several of the most powerful members of the Ma Family. He lightly asked, "You're now facing two choices. First, save his life and destroy the Ma Family's providence foundation. Second, let him die and ensure that the Ma Family continues to prosper for nearly a hundred years."
Ma Jianfeng's expression greatly changed, and the others also looked aghast.
Ma Chengye, Ma Jianfeng's Second Uncle and an old man with high prestige in the Ma Family, took two steps forward at this moment and nervously looked at Tan Xiu, asking, "Divine Doctor Tang, is it possible to have both choices?"
Tan Xiu shot him a deep look and nodded. "These old men of the Ma Family are very good. At least they don't have the intention to plot against each other. Yes, but the price is very high. "
