I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

"It's not just about personal relationships; I'm afraid it also involves mutual interests, right?"

"Relationships that are entirely based on affection do exist, but they are extremely rare."

"Interests are the real fundamental factor. The key to maintaining a friendly relationship between the two parties is the absence of conflicts of interest or mutual benefit."

Qin Ge's words made Xia Yanxi's eyes widen, filled with surprise and admiration.

"You don't seem like a student at all. Shouldn't college students be innocent and pure?"

Qin Ge rolled her eyes at her. "You might as well just say she's both clear-headed and stupid!"

"College students simply haven't experienced the harsh realities of society and don't have the habit of maliciously speculating about people's hearts; they're not really stupid."

"If someone is intentionally trying to take advantage of someone who isn't, they'll suffer the same loss. The only reason to blame them is that their imagination of the world is too idealistic, not because they're stupid!"

"You look about my age. If you were in school, wouldn't you be a college student?"

"Big brother, I was wrong, okay?" Xia Yanxi quickly made a gesture of surrender. "I have never been to school, or rather, to be more precise, I have never been to school."

"That's because academic qualifications don't mean much to you." Qin Ge wasn't surprised. He knew that it wasn't just Xia Yanxi; many children from wealthy families didn't have the same educational system as ordinary people.

They focus on the essentials and don't need a diploma to prove their abilities.

But for ordinary people, this diploma is a certificate to gain opportunities. Without it, even if you are very capable, it is difficult to get the opportunity to showcase your abilities.

The car drove for more than ten minutes before stopping in a small square in front of a main building. It was the first time Qin Ge had ever seen a car driven from home.

The main building's hall was filled with people, including members of the Xia family and outsiders who had come to visit.

Xia Yanxi did not bring Qin Ge into the hall, but went directly around to Xia Siyuan's residence.

This is Qin Ge's intention; he can heal people, but he doesn't want to become famous.

Without sufficient self-protection capabilities, fame brings danger!

Once more people learn about his astonishing medical skills, the probability of him being targeted by people with ulterior motives will increase.

Those medical skills are the guarantee of prolonging life; who wouldn't be envious?

If someone develops a drug that can cure a terminal illness, it's uncertain whether they will become famous and successful, but it's certain that their situation will be very dangerous!

"Miss, what's this?"

An old man blocked Qin Ge and Xia Yanxi's path.

Qin Ge sized up the old man, noting that he was tall and thin, with white beard and hair, and bright, piercing eyes.

He was quite surprised that someone dared to stop the Xia family's young lady in the Xia family.

Qin Ge's first impression was that the old man was full of power and was a very dangerous person!

"Butler Li, this is Qin Ge. I invited him to treat Grandpa's illness."

Xia Yanxi explained, her demeanor completely changing to one of solemnity and seriousness.

"Him? A doctor?" Butler Li looked Qin Ge up and down, a flash of surprise in his eyes.

Seeing that Butler Li had no intention of making way, Xia Yanxi continued, "That's right, when Grandpa fell ill at Dongda University last time, it was Qin Ge who treated him."

Butler Li looked enlightened and immediately stepped aside, "So it's Dr. Qin, please come in."

"Was that person really your family's butler?" Qin Ge asked quietly after they had walked a distance away.

He simply couldn't understand why a young lady would be so respectful to the butler; wasn't this going against the natural order?

Xia Yanxi smiled. "Of course it's the butler, but Butler Li is a bit special."

"He is different from ordinary butlers. He doesn't concern himself with the Xia family's trivial matters. He is only responsible for Grandpa's daily life and safety."

"Grandpa trusts Butler Li completely. Strictly speaking, he's no longer a butler; it's just that we're used to calling him that."

She glanced around. "To put it bluntly, Grandpa's trust in Butler Li is unparalleled in the entire Xia family, including my dad and the others!"

Qin Ge suddenly realized, "Isn't this the old eunuch from the emperor's side?"

Outside Xia Siyuan's room, several elderly men were discussing her condition; they appeared to be doctors.

Xia Yanxi led Qin Ge directly into the room.

"The situation is getting increasingly dire. If we still can't contact Mr. Sun, we suggest we take him to the hospital first!"

Xia Siyuan's room was a suite, even bigger than the apartment Lin Yao lived in.

When Qin Ge and the others entered, several people were gathered in the small hall, including Xia Yanxi's father, Xia Mingchen.

Xia Siyuan specially arranged a medical team, and the room was equipped with various medical equipment, not much different from a hospital.

"No need to go to the hospital for now!"

"Dr. Zhang, you can go out now!"

Xia Yanxi quickly stepped forward and whispered a few words in her father Xia Mingchen's ear.

Xia Mingchen then dismissed everyone from the room, leaving only Xia Mingchen, his daughter, Qin Ge, and Xia Siyuan lying on the bed.

"Yanxi, are you sure you're not mistaken? Was it really this young man who saved your grandfather last time?"

Xia Mingchen was really worried about Qin Ge because he looked so young.

The Xia family only knows that Xia Siyuan suddenly fell ill when he was at Dongda University, and that someone from Qingfeng Hall treated him. Apart from Xia Yanxi and the bodyguards present, no one else knows the specifics.

When Xia Siyuan woke up in the hospital last time, after learning about the situation from Xia Yanxi, he only allowed Xia Yanxi to contact Qin Ge.

After confirming that Qin Ge's medical skills were genuine, Xia Yanxi wanted to hire Qin Ge as the Xia family's full-time doctor, but Qin Ge refused.

Xia Siyuan didn't care much about Qin Ge's refusal. As long as Qin Ge was in Donghai and the Xia family had a good relationship with him, whether or not he was a full-time doctor didn't matter much.

Later, he instructed Xia Yanxi not to publicize Qin Ge's medical skills.

On one hand, it was to protect Qin Ge; on the other hand, he harbored selfish motives.

It's normal for others to covet Qin Ge's medical skills. What if someone poachs him and leaves Donghai? What if he needs to see Qin Ge again in the future?

The Xia family is not short of money. Even if there is only a one or two in ten thousand chance that they will need Qin Ge, Xia Siyuan is willing to spend money to support him.

If it weren't for Qin Ge last time, he would have been completely finished. Others may not know Qin Ge's value, but how could he not have realized it?

When Xia Yanxi heard her father ask this, she immediately pouted and said, "Dad, isn't it very impolite of you to ask that in front of Qin Ge?"

"He's not deaf!"

Xia Mingchen gave Qin Ge an awkward smile. "I didn't mean that. It's just that we have to be careful when it comes to treating and saving lives."

At this moment, Butler Li pushed open the door and came in, smiled and nodded at Xia Mingchen, and then went to the bedroom.

A few minutes later, Butler Li came out of the bedroom and went straight to Qin Ge. "The old gentleman wants to see you. Come in with me!"
