Top-tier Unruly Master

Ding Fan had circulated two Grand Circulations and three or four Minor Circulations, and by then, daylight had already broken.

Ding Fan stood up and stretched his arms and legs. After a night of cultivation, the gunshot wound on his body was no longer troublesome. He could even perform some intense movements now.

When Ding Fan pushed open the door and came out, he noticed several people standing at his doorstep.

Among these people, Xu Rui and Xu Guanjie were there within the crowd.

These people looked tired, obviously having waited at the door for some time. At that moment, Ning Zhanshan was in the courtyard maintaining order, obviously preventing these people from disturbing Ding Fan.

"Ding Fan, the patient has been brought here," Xu Rui said with a somewhat icy tone.

Today, Ding Fan was not in the mood to appease him, and he flexed his arm. "Take the patient to the clinic at the front medicine shop."

Xu Rui huffed with a hint of sulkiness and then turned around to make arrangements.

Although Xu Rui had helped Ding Fan several times, Ding Fan had never treated her gently. Being a girl herself, why should Ding Fan either look coldly upon her or glare at her whenever he saw her?

And this was why Xu Rui felt quite stifled.

Watching Xu Rui go busy herself, Ding Fan didn't waste time. He used this time to wash up and have breakfast.

After all, Ding Fan had been injured yesterday and had lost some vital energy, and he needed to see a patient soon, so he needed to replenish some nutrients.

After getting everything ready, Ding Fan then went to the clinic in the front medicine shop.

Xu Guanjie had simply shut his mouth at this time; he dared not act like a mayor in front of Ding Fan, in case he angered Ding Fan and thus jeopardized the day's affairs.

Ding Fan didn't pay attention to the others and entered the clinic, immediately closing the clinic's door behind him.

At this time, Ning Zhanshan looked quite excited.

It had been Ning Zhanshan's lifelong wish to revive the glory of Fengming Hall. But over the years, with his inadequate medical skill, he could only barely manage the Ning Family Medicine Shop.

However today, several prominent figures had come to his home seeking medical consultation, which thrilled him greatly. Although he wasn't the one treating them, at least, due to this event, the prestige of the Ning Family Medicine Shop would surely rise in Dongcheng, bringing the revival of Fengming Hall a step closer.

Ding Fan entered the clinic.

At that time, on the clinic bed lay a young man in his twenties, unconscious.

He was a handsome and bold-faced man, but judging by his features, he seemed to be a person of integrity.

Ding Fan swept his Divine Sense over him, and to his surprise, the cause of the young man's unconsciousness was the same as Xu Guanjie's.

It was due to the obstructed meridians caused by the toxic gases from ore containing Spiritual Energy.

The last time Ding Fan treated Xu Guanjie, because his own cultivation had been low, he had not wanted to attract too much attention, so he did not inquire into the reasons for Xu Guanjie's illness and had left Dancheng early.

Now, it seemed, Xu Guanjie must definitely have had ore in his possession. Otherwise, how could this man have contracted the same illness so soon after Xu Guanjie?

Ding Fan considered waiting until the man before him was cured to ask about the situation with the ore.

At this point, the man's vital energy was extremely weak, and Ding Fan could see that if there was any further delay, he might very well die at any moment.

Without wasting any more time, Ding Fan promptly sealed several major acupoints on the man's body. After doing that, he continuously channeled streams of True Qi into the man's body, starting to expel the toxic gases.

Ding Fan, now a Third Level Qi Cultivator, found expelling the toxic gases a trivial task; in about fifteen or sixteen minutes, the originally unconscious man gradually opened his eyes.

Although the man had regained consciousness, Ding Fan's hands did not stop. He swiftly inserted several Silver Needles into various major acupoints on the man's body.

The man's body had been contaminated by toxic gases for too long, and much of the gas had penetrated deep into his meridians and marrow.

Ding Fan would either not save someone, or once he did, he would ensure their complete recovery. After about ten more minutes, Ding Fan had successfully expelled all the toxic gases from the man's body.

Ding Fan clapped his hands and picked up a brush from beside him, swiftly scribbling a prescription. If the man took the medicine prescribed, he would recover completely within ten days.

As Ding Fan was doing all this, the man just quietly watched him.

As Ding Fan was about to leave the clinic, the man gathered all his strength and said to Ding Fan,

"Thank you…"

…

After the treatment, Xu Guanjie arranged to have Ye Chenliang sent away, but Xu Rui didn't leave. She told Xu Guanjie that she wanted to stay and settle the medical fees with Ding Fan.

"Like the last time, here is a check for fifty thousand dollars," Xu Rui handed a fifty thousand dollar check to Ding Fan's hand.

Ding Fan was not in dire need of money now. For a cultivator, having enough money was sufficient, as greed, desire, and anger could directly impact their cultivation.

At that moment, Ding Fan waved his hand. "Saving that person can be considered a repayment for your life-saving help at the police station yesterday."

Xu Rui was stunned when she heard Ding Fan's words. In her view, Ding Fan was a miser who valued money as much as life itself. She couldn't understand why he would refuse the money she offered.

However, after a moment of thought, Xu Rui seemed to realize something and lifted the check in her hand. "Don't worry, the promise I made to you and this have nothing to do with each other. These are all yours by right."

Ding Fan felt a headache coming on, as he clearly understood what Xu Rui meant.

"I've booked a room at Dongcheng Paradise Restaurant. Once you're done here, come and find me," Xu Rui said, then threw a check for fifty thousand in front of Ding Fan and left without looking back.

Ding Fan wanted to chase after Xu Rui to clarify things, but at that moment, Ning Zhanshan stopped him.

"Ding Fan, Luoxi mentioned that there's some issue at the company and asked you to come over immediately."

The company? Ding Fan then remembered that he was still the manager of the logistics department at Qin's Group. But he was just coasting through his days there; how could there possibly be any issues that needed his attention?

However, since he was merely coasting, he still needed to maintain a semblance of responsibility. Since there was an issue at the company, he had to check it out.

Ding Fan looked at the fifty-thousand check Xu Rui had tossed to him and handed it directly to Ning Zhanshan standing beside him.

Ning Zhanshan was momentarily stunned; then, he understood the check was for the consultation fees those people had just given Ding Fan. "Ding Fan, this is your consultation fee; you should keep it for yourself."

"Consider it my lodging fee then," Ding Fan said and then turned to leave.

Behind him, Ning Zhanshan stood, utterly astonished. Just earlier, Ding Fan had given him seven or eight thousand, and now another fifty thousand, a lodging fee could not possibly need so much...

...

When Ding Fan arrived at the company and just reached his office door, he could hear a commotion inside.

"Get your manager out here, nobody's word will do today. Until this matter is resolved, I won't leave."

"Get your manager out here!"

...

As Ding Fan approached, he could see clearly what was happening. Currently, five people were inside his office, slamming on the desk and speaking heatedly with Ning Luoxi and Hu Jin.

"I have already called the manager, and he's on his way here," Hu Jin, who had seen her fair share of situations, tried her best to calm the present condition.

"You keep stalling us every day, we've stopped believing you," said a middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader, and he pushed Hu Jin abruptly.

Hu Jin didn't manage to stand firm, and her body started to fall backwards.

However, just as she was about to hit the ground, a large hand swiftly caught her.

Hu Jin thought she was going to have a hard fall, but when she opened her eyes, she realized someone had caught her. She looked up in astonishment and saw that it was none other than Ding Fan, the manager who loitered around the logistics department.

Yesterday during the day, Hu Jin hadn't seen Ding Fan's figure at all and had even gone to General Manager Su Maner about this.

But the General Manager's attitude was that he could do as he pleased, as if the company didn't have this person.

Today there was an issue in the logistics department; the other two supervisors weren't around, leaving only Hu Jin, who couldn't cope alone, prompting her to ask Ning Luoxi to call Ding Fan.

"Manager Ding, these people are from Morning Light Group. They had a collaboration with us before. They claim they sold a batch of materials to our company, but our logistics department hasn't seen this batch..."

After Hu Jin stood up from Ding Fan's embrace, she straightened her clothes and briefly introduced the situation.

"How could the goods not be seen? You clearly just want to default on the payment!" A rather tall middle-aged man stormed over, his hand lunging towards Hu Jin.

Hu Jin was startled as the man's hand was clearly reaching towards her chest.

Ding Fan frowned; these people were really overbearing, resorting to physical action immediately.

Just as the man's hand was about to grab Hu Jin's collar, Ding Fan swiftly caught the middle-aged man's arm at an angle.

"A man bullying a woman, that's rather shameless, isn't it?"

The middle-aged man, caught by Ding Fan, paused; he felt as if his arm was clamped by iron tongs, making it impossible to move even slightly.

"You...you f****ing let go of me," the middle-aged man said fiercely to Ding Fan.
