Everyone stared at Su Chen, their eyes filled with disbelief.
"My goodness! Doctor Chen doesn't even want a million divine crystals?"
"If it were me, I'd break the rules to accept it. That's a full one million divine crystals! Enough to keep me from worrying about divine crystals for decades to come."
"Now I finally understand why Doctor Chen isn't as heartless as the doctors in other clinics. It's because Doctor Chen is kind-hearted. He could even resist the temptation of one million divine crystals. Tell me, which other doctor could do that?"
The woman frowned, remaining silent, but her delicate hands behind her back gradually clenched into fists. Clearly, she was very dissatisfied with Su Chen's attitude, but considering that she still needed his help, she held back.
The woman took a deep breath, looked at the burly man, and said calmly, "I'll give you 100,000 yuan in exchange for your position, how about it?"
The burly man, standing at the head of the line, was taken aback at first upon hearing this, but then overjoyed. Without a second thought, he immediately nodded in agreement, "Alright!"
The woman waved her hand and tossed out a spatial ring. The man caught it, examined the divine crystals inside, and found that there were indeed 100,000 divine crystals. He was overjoyed and immediately gave up his seat to the woman.
The woman naturally took the spot where the big man had just stood, while the big man happily walked towards the end of the line.
Everyone was stunned by what they saw. Such a thing was unbelievable! How could this woman even think of it?
The woman looked at Su Chen, a rare smile appearing on her lips.
Su Chen's face remained expressionless. He knew the woman was provoking him, but he ignored her and turned back to the Clear Heart Hall. Soon, Su Chen's voice echoed from the Clear Heart Hall, "Come in."
Without hesitation, the woman walked straight into the Clear Heart Hall. She immediately saw Su Chen sitting on a stool waiting for her, while a small fox lay on the counter. The fox seemed to sense her presence, glancing up at the woman before quickly looking away and returning to sleep.
The woman gazed at the little fox, her eyes gleaming with a faint golden light, and murmured in surprise, "This little fox's bloodline is completely pure, without a single impurity. That's quite interesting."
Then, she turned her gaze to a young man beside the little fox. The young man was engrossed in reading a book, seemingly lost in it, and hadn't even noticed the woman's arrival.
"This person is a sword cultivator, and the Sword Intent emanating from him is indeed pure, but why does something feel off?" The woman looked puzzled and pondered for a long time.
"Are you still going to see a doctor?" Su Chen suddenly asked.
The woman came to her senses and came to Su Chen's side.
"I don't see you're sick. So, what do you want?" Su Chen said calmly.
"My name is Zhao Yuening. I am the daughter of the only non-royal prince in the Heaven-Burning Divine Dynasty. Decades ago, my father fell seriously ill. We sought out countless medical sages and divine physicians, but none could find a definite cause, and therefore, there was no cure. However, my father managed to suppress his illness with his formidable strength. Even so, his health deteriorated day by day, and just recently, he became bedridden and unable to move, reaching the point of being on the verge of death..."
"So you heard that a divine physician from Moon-Eclipsing Star came?" Before Zhao Yuening could finish speaking, Su Chen interrupted her, because if he let her continue, he didn't know how long it would take, and Su Chen didn't have that much time to listen to nonsense.
"That's right," Zhao Yuening nodded.
"So where is your father?" Su Chen asked.
Zhao Yuening hesitated for a moment, then said, "My father is currently unable to move around easily, and the Moon-Eclipsing Star is too far from the Prince Zhao's Residence. Therefore, I would like to ask you to come with me to the Prince Zhao's Residence to treat my father's illness."
"No." Su Chen shook his head decisively and said, "If you want me to treat your father's illness, bring him here. I have neither the time nor the interest to go to the Prince Zhao's Residence with you."
"I'll give you one hundred million divine crystals! Mid-grade!" Zhao Yuening stared intently at Su Chen. She couldn't believe Su Chen would refuse. Such a large amount of mid-grade divine crystals would be a huge financial burden even for the Prince Zhao's Residence.
However, divine crystals and such are not important. As long as Su Chen can cure her father's illness, it will be worth it!
"I'm not going." Su Chen's answer surprised Zhao Yuening.
"Are you crazy?" Zhao Yuening frowned deeply. She felt that Su Chen wasn't a normal person. She could understand him not wanting one million divine crystals, but not even one hundred million, and it was a mid-grade one at that? What else could he be but insane? Who in their right mind could resist such a temptation?
"If there's nothing else, please leave," Su Chen said calmly, clearly unwilling to say anything more to Zhao Yuening.
"Two hundred million divine crystals! As long as you cure my father's illness, my Prince Zhao's Residence will give you two hundred million mid-grade divine crystals!" Zhao Yuening seemed anxious, raising the price from the original one hundred million mid-grade divine crystals to two hundred million mid-grade divine crystals.
"Miss Zhao, I opened this clinic not for the sake of divine crystals," Su Chen said.
"If it's not for the divine crystals, then why did you open a clinic?" Zhao Yuening asked angrily.
"Would you believe me if I said I was just bored?" Su Chen said.
Zhao Yuening "..."
She truly had nothing more to say to Su Chen and turned to leave, but as soon as she took a step, she thought of her seriously ill father, and her body froze on the spot. After a moment of silence, she looked at Su Chen again, "What are your demands for me to come with me to the Prince Zhao's Residence?"
"I have no demands. I just think it's too far and I don't want to go, that's all," Su Chen said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuening did not leave, but stood aside in silence.
Su Chen glanced at her but ignored her, and called in the next patient. This patient was the same woman from before. The woman sat opposite Su Chen, and when Su Chen asked her what symptoms she had, she hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.
"Auntie, if you don't tell me anything, how am I supposed to treat you?" Su Chen said helplessly. In fact, he had already examined the woman's physical condition and found nothing wrong with her. If she came to the Clear Heart Hall without being sick, it was either because she had something else to ask him, like Zhao Yuening, or because she was embarrassed to talk about some private matters.
The woman looked somewhat shy for some reason, and finally stammered, "Well... well, I want a child, but my husband... he's always had problems in that area, so I wanted to ask Doctor Chen if there's any way to help my husband? To get him up and running again."
"No problem." Su Chen smiled slightly, then named a few medicinal herbs for Jianxin to prepare, but Jianxin was focused on reading and didn't hear what Su Chen said at all.
