The System Is One Year Ahead Of Schedule, But It’S Not The End Of The World Yet!

Chapter 38: The Art of Conversation!

Ling Feng was very knowledgeable about the art of conversation.

He didn't ask if Chen Mo agreed or not.

Instead, he approached from the perspective of caring for the other person and asked if they were feeling well.

This was equivalent to giving both parties a way out.

Whether Chen Mo agreed or not, it was within reason.

If he didn't agree, it meant that he was not feeling well, not that he was refusing to give face to the military and not willing to go. In this way, everyone's face could still be saved.

Although the underlying meaning of his disagreement was that he was unwilling to give face, the surface face was still maintained, so it wouldn't be too embarrassing for everyone.

If Chen Mo agreed, that would be even better, and it would also highlight Chen Mo's righteousness because of Ling Feng's question.

It seemed that even in an inconvenient situation, Chen Mo still wanted to say it was convenient just to see the old leader, indirectly demonstrating Chen Mo's sense of justice.

So his question was not just a casual one.

Everyone present was astute and naturally understood the level of Ling Feng's question.

Chen Mo smiled and said, "Just now, Qin Lan brought a bowl of chicken soup over. After drinking it, I feel much better. There's nothing inconvenient. However, my body hasn't fully recovered yet. I can go and see the senior's condition first. Whether I have enough energy to help him completely recover will depend on the situation."

With Chen Mo's words, everyone misunderstood.

They were used to reading between the lines when speaking, thinking that Chen Mo said so just to leave himself a way out. In case the old leader's condition was not something he was good at treating, he could say that his body hadn't fully recovered.

This way, he wouldn't damage the reputation he had just established. It would be a perfect excuse.

But in fact, Chen Mo didn't have so many ulterior motives when he said those words. He just felt that his body hadn't fully recovered yet, and when dealing with a serious illness, his mental strength might not be enough to cure it all at once.

Ling Feng didn't have absolute hope when he came here in the first place. His teacher only said to give it a try. As long as Chen Mo was willing to give it a try, it would be enough for them.

"It's okay. Old injuries and chronic illnesses are not easy to cure in the first place. We have consulted many doctors, no matter how good they are, we have already tried them. Unfortunately, they are all helpless when faced with long-standing chronic illnesses.

So if you have any concerns about the situation, feel free to speak up."

Ling Feng also followed Chen Mo's words and paved the way for him in advance, cutting off his worries.

Seeing that the conversation between the two was going so smoothly, Du Zihang, who was on the side, became anxious.

"Then take me to see him." Chen Mo didn't say much and immediately prepared to leave.

Seeing Chen Mo about to leave, Du Zihang couldn't care about etiquette anymore and immediately shouted, "Dr. Chen, please wait."

When he shouted, Ling Feng immediately turned his head and glared at him.

This made him speechless, as he didn't dare to offend Ling Feng.

At this moment, Chen Mo remembered that there was still someone waiting for him.

He stopped and looked at Du Zihang, saying, "Is this brother also looking for me?"

Du Zihang didn't dare to speak anymore, but instead glanced at Ling Feng.

Ling Feng snorted and no longer looked at him.

Obviously, he was given the opportunity to speak, and seeing this, Du Zihang quickly stepped forward and said, "My name is Du Zihang, and my father is Du Renyuan."

"I have heard of him." Liu Qinlan had already mentioned his identity, so Chen Mo already knew. He immediately asked, "What business do you have with me?"

"My father is terminally ill, and despite searching for famous doctors, there is no cure. Today, I heard that you saved Mr. Liu, who also had a terminal illness but was miraculously cured by your skilled hands. I believe that Chen Shenyi's medical skills are unparalleled in the world. I don't want my father to continue suffering from illness, so I had to come and disturb you, hoping that you can save my father. As long as you are willing to help, you can set any conditions or requirements. As long as it is something we can do, we will definitely do it without hesitation."

"Du Renyuan is terminally ill?" Chen Mo had not heard about this.

As the leader of the Qing Gang, Du Renyuan, Chen Mo often moved around in this magical city, so naturally he had heard of him. However, the specific illness and details were not something that anyone would casually spread in the streets and alleys. Chen Mo was really not clear about it.

Thinking about Du Renyuan's identity, Chen Mo thought that it wouldn't hurt to help him. After all, he was the leader of the underground forces in this magical city. Making friends with them would definitely be of great help to his future rise.

But whether or not to help him depended on an important prerequisite. That was for Chen Mo to first understand the relationship between the Qing Gang and the Yellow Robe Society.

Previously, he didn't know that Zhao Yue had a connection with the Yellow Robe Society, but now that he knew, he would naturally prioritize Zhao Yue.

If the other party was Zhao Yue's enemy, then he definitely couldn't help.

If it weren't for Zhao Yue's care all along, where would he find such a cheap and comfortable place to live? Moreover, when he was cheated out of his wages at work, if it weren't for Zhao Yue standing up for him, he would have been bullied without a way to fight back.

After all, even a strong dragon couldn't suppress a local snake at times. As an outsider like Chen Mo in a place like the magical city, being oppressed by the local forces was not something that could be resolved simply by having courage.

In addition, Zhao Yue often treated him like a younger sister, cooking meals for him and buying him new clothes to improve his appearance.

These acts of kindness without asking for anything in return were deeply ingrained in Chen Mo's memory.

Now that he possessed the ability of Transcendence, he wouldn't forget the people who had shown him kindness in the past, regardless of the benefits involved. Before taking any action, he would always prioritize Zhao Yue's interests.

While it was true that befriending the Qing Gang would gain their support in the magical city, compared to Zhao Yue, Chen Mo could completely abandon this powerful force.

So he immediately said, "I understand your father's situation, but today I just treated Qin Lan's grandfather and my energy has been greatly depleted. I still need to go and check on the old man's condition. I'm afraid I don't have the ability to treat your father at the moment. Let me rest for a while before discussing this matter."

Chen Mo didn't make any firm promises. He wanted to go back and ask Sister Yue about the situation with the Qing Gang. If Sister Yue didn't want him to help, then he wouldn't. If Sister Yue thought it was possible to help, then it would be a good idea to befriend the Qing Gang.

Having more friends meant having more paths to take, especially when they were such powerful friends.

Seeing that Chen Mo didn't firmly refuse, Du Zihang also felt a glimmer of hope in his heart. He immediately said, "Alright, then Chen Shenyi, take good care of yourself. When you feel that your energy has recovered, please inform me. This is my business card."

Du Zihang tactfully didn't ask for Chen Mo's contact information, but instead gave his own contact information to Chen Mo, clearly expressing that he had no intention of continuously bothering him.

Chen Mo accepted the business card and nodded in satisfaction, saying, "Then I'll take my leave for now."
