Amazing! The mighty dragon is out of prison!!

The next morning, Ke Qirui sent a car to pick up Qin Mo as agreed.

For safety reasons, he went alone, leaving Miao Jianyue and the others at the hotel.

Unexpectedly, Ke Qirui was also there when I got in the car; he had come in person.

"Mr. Qin, thank you for your trouble."

Qin Mo shook hands with Ke Qirui and smiled calmly: "Mr. Ke, you're too kind. A million yuan for just one trip, what's the trouble?"

This was agreed upon by Ke Qirui and Qin Mo; if Qin Mo went today, he would receive a thank-you fee of one million.

If it can't be cured, take another two million and leave.

As for what he would say if he recovered, Ke Qirui didn't say, but his words "I will definitely repay you handsomely" were enough to convey the weight of his promise.

On the way, Ke Qirui talked about Mr. Ke's illness.

"My grandfather suddenly fell ill two years ago. Before that, he practiced martial arts internal strength. He wasn't a top master, but he was definitely in good health."

"Even on the morning he fell ill, he was practicing boxing in the yard when he suddenly collapsed."

"After that, the old man's condition became unstable. At first, he would be lucid for three days a week, and later he would wake up three or four times a month."

"Starting this year, it's considered good if the elderly person wakes up once a month."

Based on listening alone, Qin Mo did not immediately make a judgment, and continued to ask, "Aside from fainting, how is the old man's body reacting otherwise?"

Qin Mo needs to rule out poisoning first.

After all, according to Ning Qingqian and Huo Shaochong, this Master Ke is eighty-two years old, but he is still vigorous and powerful, and is still the undisputed patriarch of the Ke family.

Within the Ke family, some had long been eager to join forces with the Black Family of the Jade Kingdom to monopolize the underground market of Nanzhao.

But Mr. Ke has always disagreed.

If that's the case, then there are many more people who would have the motive to poison him.

Ke Qirui frowned and thought seriously: "Grandpa's health is a big deal for my family. To be honest, my family relationships are complicated. My eldest uncle's family alone has three brothers and sisters."

"I'm not afraid of being laughed at by Mr. Qin, but for the past three years, we have each sent our own people to diagnose and treat Grandpa."

"The invited doctors formed a medical team to assist in treatment and also to supervise each other."

"We reviewed and examined all the diagnostic reports together, and we found no signs of poisoning or injury on the old man."

"In fact, the old man hasn't even caught a minor cold in the past three years."

"However, in terms of physical reactions, his organs have been slowly failing over the years. The longer he stays in bed, the faster his organs fail."

"If it were an ordinary person, my grandfather would have passed away a year ago."

Qin Mo understood the meaning behind his last sentence.

The Ke family is no ordinary family. Although some people hope that Ke Lao will die, others are desperate to keep him alive.

Modern medicine is sufficient to prolong Mr. Ke's life and slow down organ aging.

However, since the true cause of the illness cannot be found, treatment is impossible. All we are doing now is trying to prolong the old man's life.

Ke Qirui looked somewhat helpless: "My parents passed away early, so naturally my voice in the Ke family is not as strong as my uncles and my older brothers and sisters."

"My second uncle's family gave up on seeking medical treatment last year, and even suggested several times that the old man should suffer too much before he passed away."

"But I still felt I wanted to give it a try, and I even sent people to search for the whereabouts of Medicine King Valley, but..."

He didn't need to say what the outcome was; Qin Mo had already seen it.

As Qin Mo listened to him, he secretly analyzed the situation in his mind.

"Let's go check on him first. If it really is the old man's lifespan coming to an end, then I can only apologize."

After all, it's normal for organs to age as people get older.

His second master taught him how to heal the sick and save people, but he had also warned him not to try to extend the life of someone whose lifespan was about to end.

Whether successful or not, it will bring endless trouble to oneself.

Qin Mo also kept this in mind.

He can fight against illness to save his life, but he can't snatch someone from the clutches of death.

As they were talking, the car drove onto the mountain road on the outskirts of the city.

Finally, it stopped outside a private estate hidden among the green mountains and clouds.

The entire courtyard is a classic Chinese courtyard house, with white walls, black tiles, and inward-curving eaves.

There are no overly ornate decorations; it is luxurious yet not ostentatious or extravagant.

Everywhere you look, you can feel the profound heritage of a distinguished family.

A butler-like person was already waiting at the main entrance. Qin Mo got out of the car with Ke Qirui and followed the butler inside.

It's worth mentioning that the Ke family's rules are indeed very strict.

The butler greeted them politely, calling them "Sixth Young Master," before bowing his head and leading the way.

It wasn't that they disdained or ignored Qin Mo, but rather that they had absolutely no curiosity about the host's guest.

Upon entering the front yard, a dedicated caregiver politely examined both of them.

Metal detectors were used to ensure there were no dangerous items before letting them in.

From beginning to end, the atmosphere was both stern and polite, and Qin Mo did not feel offended.

From the outside, the courtyard is already quite elegant.

Upon entering, Qin Mo initially thought that the entire courtyard was already quite luxurious from the outside.

The furnishings in the courtyard exude a rustic charm.

The courtyard is paved with bluestone and planted with lush ancient pines.

The artificial hill and pond are serene and tranquil, and every plant and tree is clearly well cared for by professionals.

Understated yet supremely luxurious.

Qin Mo noticed that several guards in black stood on both sides of the courtyard gate.

Each of them exuded a stern aura, their eyes fixed straight ahead.

Qin Mo could tell at a glance that these people were all martial artists, and at the very least, they were at the Vajra Realm.

It should be noted that in the secular world, the Vajra Realm is not something that is commonplace among martial artists.

Just as Su Mingzhu said before, for worldly martial artists without a lineage, it is already no easy feat to cultivate their martial arts to the Vajra Realm.

Unorthodox methods are ultimately prone to being hampered.

If one wants to forge a path through martial arts in the secular world, there are only two possible outcomes.

Joining the army and the martial arts alliance.

These martial artists responsible for guarding the courtyard could not possibly be members of the Martial Alliance.

However, the Ke family has a close relationship with the Martial Alliance, so it is understandable that they would use the Martial Alliance's heritage to cultivate their own martial artists.

Qin Mo merely glanced at these martial artists indifferently, paying them no heed.

Upon entering the inner courtyard, the surrounding sounds diminished, the environment became even more tranquil, and the number of martial artists on duty increased.

As Ke Qirui led Qin Mo toward the main building, he whispered, "Mr. Qin, the supervisor just told me that my uncle, along with his eldest brother and sister, are inside keeping watch."

"My eldest uncle was most concerned about my grandfather's condition. Over the years, they have met many doctors from all walks of life and are quite strict."

"Please forgive me if I speak inappropriately later."

Qin Mo remained calm and nodded slightly: "It's alright."
