Chapter 383 — Go See for Yourself

Kang Guifeng was a little put out, but there was nothing he could do about it—after all, the military contracts he still needed came through Liu Tianyi's hands.
"Ha ha, it's nothing, nothing at all!" Yet Kang Guifeng's mouth shaped itself into an unconcerned smile. "By the way, Brother Tianyi, there's something I'd like to ask you. That classmate of my nephew's—you know him?"
"Oh, you mean Mr. Lin—of course I know him, naturally I do…" Liu Tianyi gave a hearty chuckle.
"Oh? His family…" Kang Guifeng meant to probe into Wei Zhao's background.
"Ha ha, quite extraordinary, aren't they… Tell me, Brother Guifeng, why do you ask?" Liu Tianyi inquired mildly.
"Nothing much. It's just that elixir he brought today, the one for prolonging life and dispelling toxins—from the way you spoke, Brother Tianyi, it seems you know a thing or two about it?" Kang Guifeng ventured.
"That thing? Ha ha, it's a fine item indeed…" Liu Tianyi had more or less guessed Wei Zhao's intent—to make Divine Doctor Kang's family eat their regret—so he did not mind letting slip a few things that would deepen that regret. But as for the truth of the matter, he would not breathe a single word.
"A fine item? So you do know about it, Brother Tianyi?" Kang Guifeng's heart tightened. In a matter like this, Liu Tianyi had no reason to lie to him—what standing did Liu Tianyi have? He was of the Liu family; even if he was on familiar terms with Wei Zhao, he could hardly conspire with the man to deceive people. So Kang Guifeng had a vague sense that this Life-Prolonging Toxin-Dispelling Elixir truly was a fine item!
Of course, Kang Guifeng was not wrong to think so, though his guess was still a little off. Had Wei Zhao asked Liu Tianyi to help him spread a lie, Liu Tianyi would probably have nodded his agreement without a moment's hesitation!
"Ha ha, let's drop the subject—I can't go around saying just anything about it." Liu Tianyi chuckled again. "By the way, Brother Guifeng, I have to be going. I'm taking the old gentleman back to Yanjing."
"Eh? Brother Tianyi, didn't Elder Liu come to see Doctor Guan for treatment? Why is he going back?" Kang Guifeng was taken aback.
"Ha ha, because he's well, of course. He even wants me to buy him a courtyard house so he can grow vegetables!" Liu Tianyi laughed.
"Well?" Kang Guifeng was startled. "Didn't Doctor Guan say that only long-term acupuncture would have any effect…"
"Ha ha, would I gamble with the old gentleman's health? If he weren't well, I wouldn't dare send him back!" Liu Tianyi laughed. "All right, I'll say no more—the old gentleman's calling me to play Dance Dance Revolution with him…"
"What?!" Kang Guifeng nearly thought his ears had failed him! Play Dance Dance Revolution? With Elder Liu Zhenhu's condition, he could still play Dance Dance Revolution? The man could barely walk!
But before Kang Guifeng could ask another question, the line went dead… He sighed and walked back with a dark face.
"How did it go?" Divine Doctor Kang saw that his son's expression was not quite right, and his heart tightened. He asked at once.
"I couldn't get to the bottom of it, but it does seem to be a fine item!" Kang Guifeng said in a low voice. "However, I did learn something important. Liu Tianyi's father, Elder Liu, has made a miraculous recovery—he can even play Dance Dance Revolution…"
"What?" At his son's words, Divine Doctor Kang's heart nearly exploded. "You're saying that ninety-year-old man is playing Dance Dance Revolution? Is that true?"
Divine Doctor Kang had seen Liu Zhenhu's condition before—frail and ailing, he could barely manage to walk. And now the man could play Dance Dance Revolution? His brow twitched, and an ominous thought flashed through his mind. "Could it be… connected to that Life-Prolonging Toxin-Dispelling Elixir?"
