Chapter 636 - 0638: Disease Worsens
The person previously speaking with Mr. Nangong noticed Qian Youquan approaching and, sensing it might not be convenient for them to converse in front of others, discreetly excused himself. The onlookers also respectfully kept their distance from these two influential figures.
Mr. Nangong’s face immediately lit up with a smile at the mention of this, his aged face resembling a wilted chrysanthemum in his joy.
Qian Youquan raised his eyebrows subtly, perplexed as to what could make Old Master Nangong so delighted. Before he could voice his question, however, Old Master Nangong had already begun to eagerly share.
"Indeed, I was ill a while ago, but I have been treated by a Divine Doctor. Without his help, I might not have been able to attend today’s banquet," Mr. Nangong acknowledged the favor from Chu Ge. He wished not only to repay Chu Ge but also to help him expand his network.
Of course, Mr. Nangong wouldn’t actively engage in networking but would subtly hint about it. Whether others would take the bait was not his concern.
As everyone in the Imperial Capital knew, Qian Youquan had been troubled by chronic leg pain for a long time, and it was no secret among their circles. Mr. Nangong was unsure if Chu Ge could address Qian Youquan’s leg issues.
Yet, even if Chu Ge couldn’t help with the leg, knowing him could still greatly benefit Qian Youquan. After all, though Qian Youquan’s status in the Imperial Capital didn’t match that of the Nangong Family, he was undeniably a rising figure not to be underestimated.
Considering this, Mr. Nangong freely shared how Chu Ge had cured his illness, cleansed numerous ailments from his body, and praised Chu Ge’s abilities. After listening to Mr. Nangong, Qian Youquan became intensely curious about this Divine Doctor and expressed a desire to meet him.
Mr. Nangong thought that Qian Youquan’s eagerness might stem from his desperation to find a cure, and he had successfully piqued his interest, though he seemed to forget his imposing status and demeanor that could lend credence to his words—he seldom praised anyone so highly.
Although Chu Ge didn’t have significant power in the Imperial Capital, due to various reasons, he was not obscure, especially among the true power players who considered him thoughtfully and held him in unique regard.
