There was still a short horn on the old man's head, just like the girl's.
However, for some reason, Ling Zhenfei felt a very close affinity with the old man, though he didn't know why. Perhaps it was because aside from the horn, there was no other difference between the old man and the girl.
The old man took a glance at Ling Zhenfei and asked, "Young man, are you human?"
Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "Yes, Chieftain."
The Chieftain nodded and asked, "Which country are you from?"
Ling Zhenfei replied, "I am from Huaxia."
The Chieftain nodded and said, "Not bad, quite impressive."
Ling Zhenfei didn't understand what the old man meant, but he was here to treat a patient, so he began to feel the old man's pulse.
After checking the pulse, both of them were surprised.
He realized the old man's illness was somewhat similar to the Flower God's illness. Although he couldn't be certain they were caused by the same reason, the similarities were striking.
Ling Zhenfei slightly furrowed his brow and asked, "Chieftain, do you know the Flower God?"
The old man was stunned upon hearing this and exchanged a look with the girl.
The girl understood and said to Lan Yan and Tai Ming, "Tai Ming, this treatment will take some time, why don't you take this young lady to the room next door to have something to eat?"
Tai Ming acknowledged and then took Lan Yan out.
Although Lan Yan was somewhat reluctant, she seemed unable to say anything now, they were on their territory after all.
Now there were only three of them left in the entire room.
At this moment, the old man said to Ling Zhenfei, "Alright, you may speak now."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Chieftain, your illness should be the same as the Flower God's."
The Chieftain, slightly surprised, said, "You've met the Flower God?"
Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "Yes, I've seen the Flower God and even diagnosed her condition."
The Chieftain asked, "Is the Flower God alright now?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "The Flower God is currently on the rear side of a three-story building in the Supreme Divine Palace, being taken care of. But as for being well, her condition is similar to yours, going out isn't very likely."
The Chieftain nodded, as though recalling many things.
Ling Zhenfei said, "I'm really curious why you both are suffering from the same illness."
At this point, the girl said, "We are curious too, if the Flower God is in the Supreme Divine Palace, then how did you see her?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Seeing the Flower God was similar to seeing the Chieftain now, you were brought here by your own people for treatment."
The girl asked, "Did you cure the Flower God's illness?"
Ling Zhenfei replied, "Naturally, I haven't yet."
The girl said, "That's rather strange, you went to treat the Flower God, didn't cure her illness, and could still come out alive; truly remarkable."
Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "It was just luck, but I must ask, when did the Chieftain's symptoms begin?"
The Chieftain said, "Actually, I'm not quite sure. It seems to be a chronic illness, starting about twenty years ago, with a numb sensation in the legs.
The sensation gradually worsened, as if something foreign was entwining my body, starting from the feet. My lower body slowly became immobile, and then my waist and chest also became paralyzed."
Ling Zhenfei was stunned, not expecting the old man's illness to be so severe. The Flower God's condition was the same, but perhaps the Flower God was stronger, her upper body was still movable.
The Chieftain said, "I imagine once it reaches my brain, it'll be the time for me to leave this world."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Chieftain, don't worry, it's just a speculation. The Flower God seems to be in much better spirits."
The Chieftain said, "Yes, I used to seek medicine and doctors, but over years I've tried countless famous medicines and consulted renowned doctors, yet none could treat my illness."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Chieftain, don't worry. Perhaps my arrival today marks the start of your healing."
The girl said, "That's not right, you said you haven't cured the Flower God's illness?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Indeed, I haven't cured the Flower God's illness, but there are many reasons. The Chieftain, however, feels very close to me, so I plan to begin with his treatment."
The Chieftain asked, "Do you have confidence in the treatment?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Naturally, ever since leaving the Foreign Land, I've been contemplating how to treat the Flower God's illness. The Supreme God has given me some insights."
Ling Zhenfei said this while fetching an elixir from his Di Tian Shen Sui. "This elixir was crafted for the Flower God, and with this elixir and my treatment, effects are certain."
Ling Zhenfei said and handed over the elixir to the Chieftain, but at that moment, the girl swiftly snatched it away.
Ling Zhenfei was stunned, the girl's speed was indeed very fast, needless to say, she was clearly very strong.
The girl held the elixir in her hand and sniffed it, saying, "Why should my father trust you?"
Ling Zhenfei could see that ever since he appeared, the girl, although not showing any dislike, seemed overly cautious towards him.
Ling Zhenfei didn't understand what the girl meant.
Ling Zhenfei said, "This is quite interesting, I'm a Doctor, I'm here to treat a patient. If you don't believe me, whom should you trust?"
The girl said, "Who knows if you're sent by the Supreme God as a spy, here to kill my father."
As soon as the girl finished, the Chieftain quickly said, "Xiao Lin, don't speak nonsense."
With the Chieftain's words, the girl realized her mistake and stopped talking.
The Chieftain said, "Please, sir, don't be offended. Xiao Lin is just like this; don't blame her, she merely worries for my health."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Of course, it's understandable. Your health is important."
Though Ling Zhenfei said this, he could sense Xiao Lin's displeasure with the Supreme God, even a bit hostile.
Ling Zhenfei felt slightly more certain.
The Chieftain said, "Sir, do you truly have the confidence to treat my illness?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "I'm seeing this illness for the first time too, and I've pondered about it for quite some time. Although I don't have absolute confidence,
if you're willing, I can certainly give it a try."
Xiao Lin said, "Are you trying to make my father a test subject?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Don't say that. Treating illnesses is unpredictable, no one has absolute certainty. But I trust my judgment, and if you don't trust me, there's nothing I can do.
I originally didn't want to get involved in your Foreign Land's affairs, after completing my task, I'll leave the Foreign Land."
Xiao Lin said, "I'm very suspicious of your purpose here. Were you really discovered and brought by Tai Ming, or do you have ulterior motives?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "What purpose could I have?"
