One life for another?
Hearing Ye Ling's words, the three Du siblings exchanged glances, all hesitant, their thoughts varied.
"Are you... are you kidding me? What doctor would say 'one life for another' when saving someone?" Du Dong stammered, swallowing hard as he trembled.
He and Du Qiangwei had returned to fight over the Du family's inheritance. As for whether Du Sheng could be saved, he didn't care at all.
After all, he had invited famous doctors. Saving Du Sheng would be his filial piety, and if he couldn't be saved, it would just be Du Sheng's bad luck, having nothing to do with him.
Now that Ye Ling wanted them to trade one life for another, only a fool would agree!
Du Qiangwei immediately refused, "You're not a doctor at all, you're just here to rob and kill!"
With that, Du Qiangwei tried to get up from the ground, but was immediately suppressed by a mysterious force on her shoulders, unable to move at all. Da Feng Novel
Du Qiangwei struggled on the ground with an ugly expression, only to find that the more she struggled, the more uncomfortable she became.
"Grandmaster Ye, isn't this matter a bit..."
Du Qiu also showed a distressed expression. Although he genuinely wanted to save Du Sheng, the idea of trading lives sounded too absurd.
Such a choice, perhaps few people in the entire world could accept it.
"It seems you have no intention of saving Du Sheng. Then I can only apologize for my inability. This half phoenix eye will be your compensation for your previous offense, and I will not pursue the matter further."
"You can fend for yourselves."
With that, Ye Ling turned to leave, actually intending to depart!
"Wait!"
Du Yameng quickly grabbed Ye Ling's hand and said, "I am Grandpa's granddaughter, I should also be qualified to trade my life for his!"
"Xiao Ya!"
Seeing Du Yameng agree to Ye Ling, Du Qiu was shocked and quickly said, "Do you know what you're saying?"
Du Yameng didn't look back. She looked at Ye Ling seriously and said, "Grandpa is the person who treated me the best. Since you, an immortal, have a way to save Grandpa, I will save him at any cost!"
Ye Ling looked at Du Yameng's reddened eyes and asked, "Are you serious?"
Seeing Du Yameng nod firmly, a hint of mockery flashed in Du Dong's eyes. He whispered, "Hmph! Still acting out this father-daughter affection? If you're really brave, go die now. I'd like to see your filial piety!"
Du Qiangwei also sneered, "What a filial daughter. If the old man wakes up and knows you did this, he'll definitely leave most of the inheritance to you!"
"Even if the old man is saved, he'll only live a few more years. That guy was invited by you, is he really going to kill you?"
"Who are you performing for?"
Although Du Qiangwei felt a bit scared by Ye Ling's strange methods, this was the Du family's residence. She didn't believe Ye Ling would dare to kill anyone here!
Ignoring the taunts of her uncle and aunt, Du Yameng looked at Ye Ling without wavering and said, "Immortal, I am serious. As long as you can save my grandfather, my life is yours!"
Because Du Qiu was busy with work, Du Yameng had grown up with Du Sheng. Later, as Du Yameng gradually took over the responsibilities of the Du Group, Du Qiu finally had more free time and lived with Du Yameng.
If one were to truly count, Du Yameng had the deepest feelings for Du Sheng.
"Xiao Ya..." Seeing Du Yameng's insistence on trading lives, Du Qiu sighed slightly and stepped forward to Ye Ling, saying, "Grandmaster Ye, take my life... Xiao Ya is still young."
The reason for his hesitation was mainly that even if he traded his life to have Ye Ling cure the old man's illness, given the old man's age, he wouldn't live many more years.
Trading lives like this was not worth it, and the old man would definitely not agree.
But now that Du Yameng was insistent on trading lives, Du Qiu naturally couldn't let Du Yameng sacrifice herself.
Otherwise, if the old man truly woke up and knew about this, he would surely skin them all alive!
"No! The Du family still needs you to support it, Dad, you can't do this!"
Du Yameng immediately stopped Du Qiu when she heard him.
She also could not accept her father trading his life to save her grandfather.
However, Du Qiu ignored Du Yameng at this moment. He looked directly into Ye Ling's eyes, without any hesitation.
Du Qiu knew his daughter's temperament. Once she decided on something, no one could persuade her otherwise.
Therefore, he could only be more resolute!
"Putting on a show!"
Du Dong and Du Qiangwei looked at Du Qiu and Du Yameng with disdain, filled with contempt. They even wanted to mock the father and daughter.
Ye Ling looked at Du Qiu deeply and said, "In that case, your life is mine."
"Du Sheng, I will save."
With that, Ye Ling put away the phoenix eye and walked directly towards Du Sheng.
Zhang Daoyuan, seeing the various human emotions in the room, felt quite complex. He looked at Ye Ling and said, "Young friend, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Why must you..."
"It's none of your business."
Ye Ling said indifferently, directly cutting off what Zhang Daoyuan was about to say!
Zhang Daoyuan sighed lightly, "Alas..."
Since Ye Ling had said this, Zhang Daoyuan was powerless.
He had personally witnessed Ye Ling's overwhelming killing intent. People with such killing intent were historically demons who massacred cities and destroyed nations. Such individuals would not take lives seriously at all.
Zhang Daoyuan worried that if he continued to persuade and angered Ye Ling, then everyone present might not survive!
But...
Zhang Daoyuan looked at Du Qiu again, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes.
If Ye Ling truly had the ability to save Du Sheng, wouldn't Du Qiu be doomed to die?
As Ye Ling walked to the bedside, Du Qiangwei and Du Dong both craned their necks, wanting to know what trick Ye Ling was playing.
However, regardless of whether Ye Ling could save Du Sheng, they could accept either outcome.
If Ye Ling succeeded in saving him, then according to the agreement, Du Qiu would have to die. Coupled with Du Xia possibly committing a crime, the Du family's assets would be largely divided between them.
If Ye Ling couldn't save him, then Du Dong could accuse Ye Ling of being a liar invited by Du Qiu. Afterwards, he could have the famous doctors he invited diagnose the situation. Even if Du Sheng wasn't saved in the end, he could falsely accuse Du Qiu of delaying the treatment, thereby invalidating the will and reallocating the inheritance.
In any case, it was beneficial to them either way. Although Du Qiangwei and Du Dong were still kneeling, their mood became cheerful.
Ye Ling ignored the two clowns. He placed his hand on Du Sheng's pulse and simultaneously infused his spiritual energy into Du Sheng's body.
Du Sheng, due to years of accumulated old injuries and a serious illness, was already at the end of his rope.
With modern medical means, it was impossible to save Du Sheng.
However, Du Sheng's injuries were a trivial matter that Ye Ling could solve with a mere gesture.
If Ye Ling wished, he could even directly pull out Du Sheng's soul and refine a new body for him, allowing him to live another life.
"Seeing that you still have a good granddaughter, I'll give you another twenty years of life."
Ye Ling murmured, using his spiritual energy to quickly clear the bruises within Du Sheng's body, while also nourishing his pulse.
The wrinkles on Du Sheng's face began to recede at a visible rate, and his gaunt skin became full again.
"This, this..."
Zhang Daoyuan, standing beside him, saw Du Sheng's aura rapidly strengthen and his appearance gradually become younger. He quickly looked at Ye Ling, his mind utterly shaken!
Such a heaven-defying act of changing fate...
Who exactly was he?
Du Yameng saw Du Sheng begin to look younger, and a look of joy appeared on her face. However, when she remembered that this was the result of her father trading his life for it, her smile turned into a frown.
'No... I have to make the immortal change his mind!' Du Yameng's thoughts raced. She looked at the vase beside her and clenched her fists tightly.
