Chapter 321: Chapter 321: The Furious Gu Family and Qin Family (3)

Therefore, An Yiqing concluded that there must be something wrong with Duan Jingning’s body!

After the dishes were served, and seeing that Duan Jingning didn’t drink the soup or eat any fruits, and that he only ate the dry yam soup that she had served, An Yiqing took a closer look at his complexion and the color of the lines on his palms. She was roughly able to diagnose him with a thirst affliction!

The thirst affliction, as the name suggests, is characterized by severe thirst. However, those suffering from it cannot drink too much water, otherwise, they would become incontinent. This disease only exists in legends, and very few people suffer from it. According to modern medicine, this disease is incurable. In fact, most doctors have never even heard of this disease and simply regard it as a joke. In reality, the disease is caused by a disruption of the body’s internal functions, but it is not just any disruption. The medical knowledge required to treat such a disease is unimaginably profound.

Upon hearing An Yiqing’s words, Duan Jingning was startled and cried out in surprise, "How did you know?!"

"Elder Duan, since you came in, you have only taken one sip of tea, and you didn’t even touch the broth in the yam soup. Combined with your complexion and the color of the lines on your palms, there is no doubt that you have the thirst affliction," An Yiqing said with a slight smile, confidently.

Duan Jingning was stunned, and so was Ma Tianci. They had not expected that just a few actions and a complexion could reveal one’s illness.

"Xiao Qing, can you treat this disease?" Ma Tianci was the first to come back to his senses, asking excitedly. His old friend had been suffering from this disease for over a decade and had struggled to find a cure. Over the years, Duan Jingning had always been thirstier than the average person but could only quench his thirst by sucking on ice cubes. Sometimes, when he was in a bad mood or feeling frustrated, he would recklessly drink a few glasses of water, only to end up incontinent. Fortunately, the Duan family was very wealthy, which kept this embarrassing news from spreading.

An Yiqing nodded slightly, saying indifferently, "Since I can diagnose this disease, naturally I can treat it. The thirst affliction is extremely rare, and with the current level of medical care, it is definitely incurable. Moreover, the required medications are precious and rare, and the methods of preparation are very difficult. If we want to cure it completely, I’m afraid that will take some time."

An Yiqing’s words were like a ray of sunshine to Duan Jingning, and he nodded repeatedly, his expression excited as he said, "Good, good, good! As long as this strange disease can be cured, let alone a few months, even a few years, this old man can wait!"

"Right, right! Old Duan, since you don’t have much to do these days, stay in Xuandu City, and let the girl cure you before you go back!" Ma Tianci also nodded repeatedly, beginning to make arrangements.

Duan Jingning agreed, nodding and saying, "Good, good! What Old Ma says makes sense! Xiao Qing, I will trouble you with this, and this old man will be forever grateful." As he spoke, Duan Jingning rose to bow deeply.

An Yiqing quickly stood up to support Duan Jingning, "Elder Duan, you are being too formal with me! It is my fortune to have met you through Grandpa Ma; It is for this reason alone that I would certainly treat your illness! Please sit down, and try not to get agitated; let things take their natural course."

After helping Duan Jingning sit back down, Ma Tianci also agreed, saying, "That’s right, Old Duan, you shouldn’t get too excited given your poor health. I’ve known Xiao Qing for a long time, and I have seen her character for myself, she will not let you down. Just wait for her to cure you, and then you must give her a large sum as treatment fee!"

Duan Jingning nodded repeatedly in agreement. The agony of not being able to drink freely for over a decade was indeed torturous, and if curing this burdensome disease meant giving all of his estate to her, he would not hesitate!
