"Uncle Zheng!" Ye Xiao walked into the hospital room, seeing Zheng Senlin half-leaning on the bed, he smiled and said.

Upon seeing Ye Xiao, Zheng Senlin immediately tried to sit up, but Ye Xiao quickly said, "Uncle Zheng, just lean back; we're not strangers."

"Ye Xiao, it's all thanks to you that I could be here." Zheng Senlin looked at Ye Xiao with gratitude.

Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Uncle Zheng, it's nothing. I heard from Shanshan that you were just discussing matters about the Feng family."

Zheng Senlin nodded, sighed, and said, "I never expected that the mighty Feng family could fall so easily. It seems that the saying 'the waves behind drive on those ahead' in Qianjiang still holds true."

Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Whatever grudges you had with the Feng family, from now on, consider them settled."

"Indeed, with them dead, there's no point in holding onto past grievances." Zheng Senlin looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Ye Xiao, I still have to thank you, but alas, I have no means to properly show my gratitude, only words of thanks."

Previously, Zheng Senlin had always spoken to Ye Xiao with the demeanor of an elder, but after knowing that Ye Xiao had dealt with the Feng family, he no longer dared to treat Ye Xiao as a junior.

As a former Martial Artist, Zheng Senlin understood that for a martial arts family to fall, it could only mean there appeared an even stronger Martial Artist. Clearly, Ye Xiao was that person.

Hearing this, Ye Xiao laughed heartily and said, "Uncle Zheng, saying it like that makes me feel like an outsider. There's no need for such courtesy; you are the elder, I am the junior, and since Shanshan is my friend, I should help you."

Zheng Lingshan looked at Zheng Senlin and said, "Dad, don't think too much, just focus on getting better."

Zheng Senlin smiled bitterly and said, "I understand, dear, my time is limited. It's terminal cancer, and with today's medical capabilities, curing it is simply impossible. That, I comprehend."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Lingshan's eyes immediately reddened.

As a child, watching her father possibly dying with no power to help, is truly unfilial!

Yet, Zheng Lingshan indeed had no way!

"Modern medicine might be somewhat powerless, but non-modern medicine might have the capability," Ye Xiao said with a smile.

"Ah?" Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, both Zheng Senlin and Zheng Lingshan were utterly shocked.

Especially Zheng Lingshan, when she heard Ye Xiao's words, she immediately looked at him, asking, "Ye Xiao, are you saying that my father's illness can actually be cured?"

In fact, when she said this, Zheng Lingshan couldn't help but doubt because, after all, it was late-stage cancer.

"I can only say there is a possibility!" Ye Xiao said with a smile.

For Zheng Lingshan, even the slightest chance would make her eager to try!

However, Zheng Lingshan wasn't foolish; she quickly asked again, "Does it require a lot of money?"

She understood that if it truly was possible to treat late-stage cancer, the cost would surely be astronomical!

Ye Xiao did not immediately answer her but looked at Zheng Senlin and asked, "Uncle Zheng, have you told Shanshan about your mysterious identity?"

Ye Xiao didn't explicitly say it, but this mysterious identity referred to being a Martial Artist.

Zheng Senlin, of course, understood, so he shook his head and said, "I don't want Shanshan to follow that path."

Ye Xiao could understand Zheng Senlin's intentions; his current situation was related to being a Martial Artist, yet it might be that if he were not, he wouldn't even be alive today.

"In fact, whether ordinary or not, everyone has their own advantages, and this may be humanity's future path," Ye Xiao said, looking at Zheng Senlin. "Therefore, it may not be a bad idea to tell Shanshan."

"What are you talking about? Ordinary and non-ordinary people?" Zheng Lingshan asked, puzzled.

Listening to Ye Xiao's words, Zheng Senlin felt it made sense, like himself, had he maintained martial prowess, cancer might never have afflicted him.

That is the advantage of a Martial Artist!

Zheng Senlin looked at Zheng Lingshan and said, "Shanshan, you've always wondered why even though I seem weak, I have great strength. Now I'll tell you, it's because I'm not an ordinary person."

Zheng Lingshan was immediately astonished by her father's words.

Clearly, it was a bit much for her to take in all at once.

"I don't understand!" Zheng Lingshan said.

Ye Xiao then explained, "In this world, a small group of humans are not ordinary; they are known as Martial Artists, similar to martial arts masters in films."

"You and my father are martial arts masters?" Zheng Lingshan felt her worldview shifting.

Ye Xiao said, "You could say that. Becoming a Martial Artist has the direct benefit of keeping one's body healthy, and they generally don't suffer from common illnesses."

"Then why..." Zheng Lingshan immediately looked at Zheng Senlin.

Ye Xiao said, "You're wondering why your father, being a Martial Artist, can still have cancer. That, you must let your father explain."

Zheng Senlin sighed and said, "I can no longer be considered a Martial Artist. My meridians were damaged by the Feng family, causing blockage. Though there remains some Inner Power True Qi in me, I cannot use it, and therefore, it no longer protects me, leading to my current condition."

"Earlier, Ye Xiao, you mentioned a non-modern treatment method. Are you referring to something related to being a Martial Artist?"

Ye Xiao nodded, smiling, "Martial Artists can be injured too, and something that injures them means it is not an ordinary injury; normal medicine can't cure it, hence the need for Martial Artist medicine."

Zheng Lingshan listened, bewildered, yet Zheng Senlin was surprised, knowing that Martial Artist medicines were extremely precious, known only by hearsay, never seen!

"Ye Xiao, there's no need to trouble yourself, besides, those medicines are more valuable than gold, and my life is not worth that," Zheng Senlin said earnestly, looking at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao just smiled slightly. If it were anyone else, he wouldn't necessarily invest that much. But who was Zheng Senlin? He's Zheng Lingshan's father.
