C15 I’m Waiting for You to Kneel Down Before Me

Faang Jianguo’s booming voice was so loud that all eyes immediately turned to look at him.

Everyone unanimously agreed with what he just said. “That’s right. We should do a thorough exam on the Old General! See if he’s really all right!”

Zhong Changqing was overjoyed to see things going his way finally. This Faang Jianguo was really making an impression on him. He thought to himself that he would definitely promote this guy when he got back. The position of deputy dean would be waiting for him.

Zhong Changqing lifted his head up and stroked his snow-white beard. He said, “I’m not only the director of Jiangzhou People’s Hospital but also a doctor. As a doctor, it’s our duty to ensure the full recovery of every single patient. Jianguo, why don’t you take the Old General inside for a comprehensive exam. We have to be responsible when it comes to our patient’s health. We can’t let a swindler get away with trying to cheat us!”

After having said that, Zhong Changqing cast Meng Ran a provocative look and said with words oozing with meaning, “Young Friend Meng, if you have any concerns, please voice them right now.”

Meng Ran laughed out loud and said blithely, “Although your equipment really can’t detect anything, I know it’s still necessary to check anyways. But, after you examine him, if he’s really healthy, I hope you’ll still keep your promise. I’m still waiting for you to kneel down before me.”

Everyone waited for Meng Ran to toss his hands up in surrender. When he didn’t do that, the people in the room were shocked. They never expected Meng Ran to be so stubborn. This guy really wasn’t going to give them any face today.

“You!” Zhong Changqing pointed a trembling finger at Meng Ran. He was so angry that his face turned from green to white and back. When he spotted Meng Ran's confident look, he couldn’t help but panic even more.

After Old Master Mu listened to both sides and saw the hostile looks on everyone’s faces, he let out a long sigh and followed the others inside the exam room to check his health.

Zhong Changqing had just stepped out of the room when Meng Ran coldly spoke up behind him. “Dean Zhong, stay right where you are. What if you slip away without telling anyone? Doesn’t that mean I’ll have to find you at your hospital? Save me the hassle, why don’t you.”

Zhong Changqing instantly froze on the spot. Those were his exact thoughts just now. If the old man’s exam turned out normal, then he would slip away undetected. But he never thought that Meng Ran would actually go to the hospital to find him and collect his bet. Meng Ran had actually put a stopper on all of his plans!

Zhong Changqing awkwardly stepped back into the room. Seeing this, Mu Qingya said, “Yes, Director Zhong, you have worked hard all day. You should rest right here. The sanatorium happens to be fully equipped. There’s no need for any formalities. Old Master Mu’s inspection will be done in no time.”

Mu Qingya shot Meng Ran a mischievous smile after she said that. She blinked her big, bright brown eyes at him. Clearly, she wanted nothing more than for Zhong Changqing to apologize to Meng Ran.

“Hmph! Then I’ll just wait here for the good news!” At this point in time, Zhong Changqing was adamant that he couldn’t lose. He turned his head to the side and sat in a chair with an ashen face. He prayed that things would work out for him.

Meanwhile, Mu Qingya brewed a cup of tea for Meng Ran and whispered in his ear mischievously, “Thank you for saving my grandfather.” When he heard that, Meng Ran sat up straight and said, “Anytime!”

Mu Qingya giggled. Her beautiful brown eyes were trained fully on Meng Ran’s face this whole time.

As Meng Ran listened to the girl’s charming laughter, he started to feel a little emotional in his heart. Ever since he embarked on his path of cultivation, Meng Ran’s smiles had greatly diminished. Such immense pressure not only didn’t crush him but ultimately ignited the ruthless fire in his bones.

Meng Ran made a vehement vow that he would become the strongest person under the starry sky!

The heroic words of the past still lingered in his ears nonstop. After Meng Ran became the family Immortal Sovereign Tairan, he only had loneliness to accompany him. It was a kind of loneliness with no parents or family by his side. The Immortal Cultivators had a saying that said that the Great Dao was heartless. That was why one must cast aside all emotions and desires. But in Meng Ran’s eyes, his Dao in the last life was only for revenge, but in this life his Dao was not only for revenge, but also for his parents, relatives, and beloved friends!

‘Mom, Dad, Qingxue, Zhang. All of you must wait for me. I’ll find you very soon. In this life, I’ll do everything within my power to ensure your safety!’

“Meng Ran?” Mu Qingya’s words brought him back to reality. “You seem a little distracted just now.”

Meng Ran simply shook his head and didn’t say another word. Mu Qingya was getting increasingly interested in this young man. Just now, she had seen a trace of loneliness in his eyes, but many things were still unclear to her, so she just left it at that.

“Hey, did you cure my grandpa a long time ago? Then why did you come out at the last moment?”

Meng Ran was shocked. He didn’t expect that she’d be able to see right through him.

Indeed, it didn’t take Meng Ran long to completely heal the old man’s injuries. All it took was thirty minutes, to be exact. When the old man woke up, the two of them began to discuss in earnest the origin of this illness.

The old man had no idea that this serious illness was caused by the black Qi. When the old man learned that Meng Ran had removed every single black Qi from his body, he didn’t hesitate to bow to Meng Ran and call him “Master.”

In order to prevent eavesdroppers, Meng Ran cast a small spell to create a screen that would isolate sound. This way, it would make it impossible for outsiders to overhear their conversation.

During the course of this conversation, the two of them got to know each other really well. Gradually, over time, their discussion became more and more heated. However, this old man constantly called himself a junior and firmly called Meng Ran master. Meng Ran initially adamantly refused this title, but then he remembered that he was the dignified Immortal Sovereign Tairan, and it wasn’t too excessive for this old man to call him "Master." Therefore, Meng Ran readily accepted this title.

Originally, Meng Ran wanted to ask the old man about the two gases and what they were, but when he heard the chiming of his alarm, he walked out of the room.

As they waited, Meng Ran chatted with Mu Qingya to pass the time. In his previous life, Meng Ran felt that Mu Qingya was an ice queen. But now, realizing that Mu Qingya liked to talk, he saw that she was more like a chatterbox. Her nonstop chatter was giving him a headache.

But to be able to give the dignified Immortal Sovereign Tairan a headache was no easy task. This Mu Qingya should be proud!

Twenty minutes passed just like that. Soon, they heard some footsteps. It was the Old Man Mu An and a group of doctors. At this time, Faang Jianguo came back toting a document bag, which those in the audience could surmise must contain the various test results that everyone was waiting for.
