Chapter 436: Chapter 436: The Illness Really Came at the Right Time

"Mr. Sheng, you flatter me. This so-called number one under heaven is just some ill-intentioned individuals trying to set me up for a fall. There are numerous heroes in the world; how dare I claim to be the best."

"Haven’t you always claimed to be the best under heaven?" Liu Yiren’s eyes gleamed mischievously.

Qin Yi’s face stiffened; this little troublemaker really knew how to ruin things.

He glared at Liu Yiren and awkwardly looked at Sheng Mingwang: "This child is spoiled. Please forgive her, Mr. Sheng."

Sheng Mingwang smiled and said nothing more, instead changing the subject: "What brings you here, fellow Daoist Qin Yi?"

Qin Yi’s expression turned serious as he explained his purpose.

Sheng Mingwang was somewhat shocked because Qin Yi’s plan was simply too outrageous, almost like a wild fantasy.

To subdue and bring all the young talents on the rankings under his command, how could that be possible?

Rumors had it that Qin Yi was domineering and bold. Now it seemed those words weren’t false at all.

Sheng Mingwang seriously said, "I admire your ambition and courage, fellow Daoist Qin Yi. However, you should understand Tian Lei’s situation; he simply can’t go with you."

"Mr. Sheng is just worried about the poison in Tian Lei. But what if I have a way to suppress his poison, allowing him to be like a normal person?"

Sheng Mingwang was utterly shocked, his eyes filled with strong hope: "Are you serious?"

"If I say it, I can certainly do it."

"Brother Qin Yi, do you really have a way to prevent my poison from harming others?" Sheng Tianlei’s eyes lit up with hope.

Qin Yi nodded slightly.

Sheng Mingwang was a bit excited: "Fellow Daoist Qin Yi, please come to our home so we can discuss it in detail."

Qin Yi nodded slightly and followed Sheng Mingwang back to the house.

The one who opened the door was a middle-aged woman still full of grace, Sheng Tianlei’s mother, named He Jiahui. Although an ordinary person, she was from a prestigious family.

Sheng Mingwang introduced everyone to each other.

He Jiahui was overjoyed to learn that Qin Yi had a way to deal with her son’s poison.

After everyone settled down, He Jiahui served tea to them.

Qin Yi surveyed the Sheng family’s environment, which was a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment with very old furniture.

"Mr. Sheng once was the Family Head of the Sheng family, and yet you’ve fallen to this state, probably because of Tian Lei, right?"

Sheng Mingwang nodded slightly: "Indeed, as long as Tian Lei’s illness can be cured, it doesn’t matter where I live."

"But if Mr. Sheng were to continue as Family Head, wouldn’t it be more convenient to use the Sheng family’s resources and power to treat Tian Lei?"

Sheng Mingwang smiled bitterly, slowly and briefly explaining what had happened.

It turned out that Sheng Tianlei was just like any other child when he was young. However, at the age of ten, he suddenly erupted with terrifying toxins in his body. Initially thought to be some strange illness, after years of seeking renowned doctors everywhere, there was still no solution.

Later, Sheng Mingwang taught Sheng Tianlei how to cultivate, hoping that after becoming a Qi Refiner, he could suppress the poison within him.

Sheng Tianlei was practically a genius at cultivation, progressing at astonishing speed, advancing a thousand miles in a day.

However, what they never expected was that as Sheng Tianlei’s cultivation strength increased, the poison in him did not decrease but instead grew, becoming more terrifying. At its worst, just by being within half a meter of flowers and plants, they would instantly wither and die.

Gradually, rumors that were unfavorable to Sheng Tianlei began to spread, saying he was a reborn disaster star and that those who came into contact with him faced calamities.

Within the Sheng family, there was even more dissatisfaction towards Sheng Tianlei. Since he was ten, no one dared to approach him. Furthermore, his elder brother Sheng Minghui even proposed to kill Sheng Tianlei; he never imagined that his elder brother would not only speak but also take action.

However, under natural instinct, the always meek and kind Sheng Tianlei fought back. Four Foundation Establishment Stage assassins were instantly poisoned to death, their remains completely dissolved by the toxins, leaving a horrendous scene.

This incident caused a complete breakup between Sheng Mingwang and the Sheng family. In his anger, he left the Sheng family with Sheng Tianlei.

A Qi Refiner leaving the family support has less survival capability than ordinary people. The well-cultivated Sheng Minghui even ended up doing odd jobs at construction sites.

Qin Yi sighed slightly, foolish Sheng family, they don’t even understand how precious Sheng Tianlei’s physique is.

"Mr. Sheng, I do have a way to suppress Tian Lei’s poison, but each application can only suppress it for a month. Therefore, Tian Lei must follow me until I find a way for a complete cure."

Sheng Mingwang looked at Qin Yi suspiciously, evidently not believing. Being able to suppress it for only a month, perhaps that was intentional? The purpose was to take Tian Lei away for his use.

Qin Yi naturally understood Sheng Mingwang’s thoughts and seriously said: "To be honest, this is Miss Liu Yiren from the Liu family. She also has a strange illness; when it attacks, she becomes ice-cold all over, feeling like she’s in an ice cave, worse than death. I can currently only treat it once a month. That’s why she has been following me."

Sheng Mingwang looked at Liu Yiren in surprise.

Liu Yiren nodded: "What he said is true. My illness recurs every month. Thanks to Qin Yi, let Tian Lei follow Qin Yi. We will take good care of him."

Sheng Mingwang hesitated: "Tian Lei has never been out of the house..."

"Precisely because he has never left home and had no friends since childhood, he has become very withdrawn. Tian Lei is a genius; he shouldn’t be confined. He should stand in the world’s spotlight, not live a life of solitude." Qin Yi said earnestly.

"Qin Yi..." Liu Yiren suddenly spoke, her voice trembling.

"Miss Liu?"

Sheng Mingwang’s family stared wide-eyed as Liu Yiren became covered in a layer of white frost, her hair turning silver, and the temperature in the house dropped to freezing point.

Qin Yi was aghast; he hadn’t expected Liu Yiren’s illness to relapse at this moment.

Without time to think, he hurried to treat Liu Yiren.

He had treated Liu Yiren several times and was already quite familiar with it.

A few minutes later, Liu Yiren returned to normal.

"Sister Yiren, are you okay?" Sheng Tianlei asked in a small voice, looking at Liu Yiren with concern and sympathy.

Liu Yiren grinned; Sheng Tianlei was seven years older than her, yet he called her sister. Still, the feeling of being called sister was not bad.

"It’s nothing; I’m used to it!" Liu Yiren casually replied.

Sheng Mingwang finally believed Qin Yi’s words; seeing Liu Yiren’s outbreak was frightening enough. She’s also a child of misfortune.

"Fellow Daoist Qin Yi is right; Tian Lei’s talent shouldn’t be buried. If Mr. Qin can lift the poison from Tian Lei, why not let him go with you?"

Qin Yi was slightly surprised, not expecting Sheng Mingwang to suddenly change his mind. But a slight thought made it clear that Liu Yiren’s sudden illness had swayed his thinking. One must admit, the timing of this relapse was perfect.

"Mr. Sheng, we should respect Tian Lei’s opinion."

Admiration appeared in Sheng Mingwang’s eyes. If someone who respects others, how bad could they be? From this interaction, Sheng Mingwang understood that the rumors about Qin Yi were not true.
