"Ouch!"
Caught off guard, Ding Hui let out a miserable shriek and scrambled away, covering his head.
But Ding Guoguang showed no intention of holding back. He chased after him with the club, swinging it down so hard that the weapon snapped right in his hands.
By now, Ding Hui was in too much agony to even make a sound. He clutched his right arm with his left hand; it was obvious the bone there had been broken. The excruciating pain drained the color from his face, and he nearly passed out on the spot.
"Young Master Qin, do you think I should continue..."
Ding Guoguang gritted his teeth and asked.
Hearing this, Ding Hui was frightened out of his wits. His eyes rolled back, and he fainted right then and there.
"You really didn't pull your punches."
Qin Ning glanced at Ding Guoguang, feeling a hint of admiration.
This guy was truly ruthless.
To beat his own son to such a state, it seemed he was genuinely terrified by him.
However, reading Ding Guoguang's facial features, Qin Ning could see a beam of golden light radiating from between his eyebrows, indicating a nature of great benevolence.
After a moment of silence, he asked Wang Er to brew a cup of tea, then said to Ding Guoguang, "Have your son drink this."
"Young... Young Master Qin... what is this?"
Ding Guoguang's hands trembled as he held the cup. Could this be poisoned tea?
He had already beaten his son to this extent; was Young Master Qin still unwilling to let it go?
"Old Ding, hurry up and feed it to your son," Bai Yongjian, who was standing to the side, suddenly spoke up.
Seeing the reassuring look in Bai Yongjian's eyes, Ding Guoguang hesitated no longer and poured the cup of tea down the throat of the unconscious Ding Hui.
About a dozen seconds later, he miraculously discovered that all the bruises on Ding Hui's body had completely vanished.
Not only that, but Ding Hui also woke up at this moment. He swung the arm that had just suffered a broken bone and asked in confusion, "Dad, what happened to me? I think I just had a dream. I dreamed you were beating me with a club and broke my arm. Thank goodness it was only a dream."
It was no wonder Ding Hui said this. After all, although what just happened felt incredibly real, he currently felt absolutely no pain, and the arm that was broken in his dream was perfectly fine.
Wasn't it just a dream then?
Otherwise, where did his injuries go?
How could a broken arm suddenly heal?
"What do you mean, a dream?"
Ding Guoguang glared at him. "This is Young Master Qin taking pity on you and healing you!"
With that said, he took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock and astonishment in his heart. He looked at Qin Ning and bowed deeply, "Thank you, Young Master Qin, for saving him."
"Alright, if there's nothing else, go do what you need to do. Today's matter is settled."
Qin Ning waved his hand. He only did this because of Ding Guoguang's benevolent physiognomy. Otherwise, if it were anyone else, he would have already had the capital step in and wipe out their entire family.
"Yes, yes. Young Master Qin, please continue your meal. We won't disturb you any further."
Ding Guoguang quickly said, and with that, he led his son out of the private room.
Liu Silin followed them out as well.
Before leaving, Bai Yongjian didn't forget to glance at his son, Bai Xuelin, giving him a look that told him to entertain Qin Ning well and absolutely not to upset him.
"Secretary Ding, today's matter is finally over, and it's a good thing you were willing to be so ruthless."
Outside the private room, Bai Yongjian spoke to Ding Guoguang.
Hearing this, Ding Guoguang took a deep breath, but he still couldn't suppress the shock in his heart.
Because that cup of tea from Qin Ning had truly exceeded his understanding of reality.
No wonder figures like Elder Liu and Elder Zeng were so polite to Qin Ning.
Such a young man was clearly beyond the scope of worldly comprehension.
"Now you know, right? Young Master Qin's terrifying power is actually far more unimaginable than you think."
Bai Yongjian narrowed his eyes slightly and continued, "My father's cancer has now been completely cured with Young Master Qin's help, and he has even grown ten or twenty years younger. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Hearing this, Liu Silin, Ding Guoguang, and his son were all utterly astounded.
He could even cure cancer and make someone younger?
How was that possible?
...
Meanwhile, inside the private room.
Everyone had pretty much finished eating.
Fan Sicheng answered a phone call. After hanging up, he looked at Qin Ning and said, "Young Master Qin, the stone you asked for has been transported here. It's right behind the villa. Do you want to go take a look now?"
"Alright."
Qin Ning nodded, then stood up and led everyone out of the private room.
Soon, they reached an open space behind the villa where a small truck was parked.
The cargo hold had already been opened. Qin Ning asked Fan Sicheng to clear away the driver and the workers preparing to unload the cargo, and then he walked up to the truck to examine the stone inside.
The stone was massive, standing as tall as a person, and oval in shape. A small section on the right side showed signs of being cut. Clearly, the stone in Bai Xuelin's house was a piece cut from this very rock.
He scanned it with his divine sense and then nodded in satisfaction.
This stone also contained a special kind of energy. Unfortunately, in Qin Ning's eyes, only a third of it could be used as material to carve out a cultivation sanctuary.
However, combined with the small piece he obtained from the Bai family, it was still pretty good.
This trip to Shu Province had given him quite a pleasant surprise; he had suddenly acquired almost half of the materials needed to establish a cultivation sanctuary.
"Buzz!"
Then, Qin Ning gently raised his hand.
The enormous stone inside the cargo hold was instantly absorbed into his storage space.
Naturally, Wang Er and the others were already used to such scenes, but when had Bai Xuelin or Fan Sicheng ever witnessed something like this?
Both of them stood frozen in shock, their minds unable to calm down for a long time.
"There is a pill in this box. Consider it my thanks for giving me this wondrous stone."
Qin Ning flipped his palm, produced a box, and handed it to Fan Sicheng.
"This is..."
Fan Sicheng was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor.
This stone was completely useless to him; it was only worth a bit of money. If he could use such a stone to get on Qin Ning's good side, it was naturally something he could only dream of. How could he dare ask for anything in return?
However, after witnessing Qin Ning's methods today, Fan Sicheng also understood that given the other party's status, the gift would certainly not be simple. Unable to refuse, he accepted it with profound gratitude.
"This is a divine medicine," Xia Fei said with a smile from the side. "Just this single pill can save anyone's life, cure all diseases and injuries, and even make a person ten or twenty years younger!"
"R-really?"
Hearing this, Fan Sicheng was dumbfounded. How could such a miraculous medicine exist in this world?
But when he thought about the various miraculous methods Qin Ning had displayed earlier, he suddenly felt that everything seemed to make perfect sense.
