Ye Renxin was not angry at Cheng Xiao's mild provocation. After all, the person in front of him was just a teenager, and young people are naturally a little impetuous.
So, after Cheng Xiao offered to feel his pulse, Ye Renxin just felt funny, and after a change of mind, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, what do you want?"
"Old man, sit here, take a cup of tea, and pass your hand to me." Cheng Xiao raised his hand and led him to the teahouse next to him. After throwing a few copper soul coins to the waiter, he sent him away.
Then, Cheng Xiao explained to Ye Renxin: "There are some rules for feeling the pulse. Before feeling the pulse, you must not do strenuous exercise. You must sit or lie on your back..."
Ye Renxin listened quietly, and when the time was almost up, he handed his hand out. Cheng Xiao used the middle finger to touch the inch pulse, the index finger to touch the inch pulse, the ring finger to touch the foot pulse, and the three fingers pressed down, and the breathing gradually slowed down.
Ye Lingling held the teacup in both hands, her slightly upturned eyelashes fluttering, and she stared at Cheng Xiao's movements, very fascinated.
At first, Cheng Xiao still had a smile on her lips, and joked to Ye Renxin: "Lingling has good talent, you won't steal my unique skills, right?"
Ye Lingling's pretty face flushed, pouted her lips, and whispered coquettishly: "No way, who wants to learn your things."
Cheng Xiao's face froze.
It was not because of Ye Lingling's naive coquettishness, but because of Ye Renxin's pulse! It's wrong!
The smiling eyes that were slightly bent because of teasing Ye Lingling gradually lost their joy and slowly opened until they were as wide as possible. Cheng Xiao's brows had been frowned without knowing when, and a solemnity lingered between his brows and was difficult to dissipate.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Ye Lingling seemed to have noticed something wrong, tilted her head, and asked in confusion.
"No, it's okay." Cheng Xiao smiled reluctantly.
Time was a little longer, Cheng Xiao delayed time, hoping for a miracle, but no matter how he delayed, the bad premonition in his heart could not be overturned.
After a long time, Cheng Xiao retracted his fingers.
"How is it?" Ye Renxin asked with a smile.
Cheng Xiao pondered for a moment, then arched his hands, apologetically: "It's the junior who was too rebellious and failed to feel the pulse of the old gentleman. I hope the old gentleman will not bother with the junior."
"Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay." Ye Renxin waved his hand, "I was just curious."
"The old gentleman is right." Cheng Xiao agreed.
"I thought I could see something fun." Ye Lingling was a little disappointed.
"Haha, if you want to see something fun, why don't I take you there..." Cheng Xiao changed the subject at the right time.
Then, they discussed where to go later, and they seemed to have forgotten everything that happened just now. But the experienced Ye Renxin could see that Cheng Xiao was a little absent-minded.
"Lingling, go find the store to buy some tea leaves. This tea is quite good. Buy a little of each." Ye Renxin touched Ye Lingling's head and said kindly.
"Ah? Oh, okay." Ye Lingling agreed and left the tea table.
"Go ahead, kid." After his granddaughter left, Ye Renxin's smile disappeared and his eyes fell on Cheng Xiao's face.
"Hmm? What?" Cheng Xiao pretended not to understand.
Ye Renxin's somewhat turbid eyes gradually became sharp, as if they could see through people's hearts: "I'm over ninety years old, and I've probably seen more people than you have eaten meals. You can't hide your thoughts from me."
Cheng Xiao was silent for a while, then smiled bitterly: "To be honest with you, old sir, I really can't feel your pulse accurately."
"Oh? Just tell me what you know!" Ye Renxin heard the implication of Cheng Xiao's words, it was "can't feel it accurately", not "can't feel it accurately"!
"Old sir, please listen to me. If there is anything wrong, please forgive me for my lack of knowledge and my youthful frivolity." Cheng Xiao organized his words: "Your pulse is a bit strange. Your left inch is weak and your heart is weak..."
After that, Cheng Xiao paused and glanced at Ye Renxin. Ye Renxin remained calm: "Continue."
"In fact, I really can't feel it accurately." Cheng Xiao smiled bitterly and explained: "I am only a half-baked person. Maybe I felt it wrong."
Logically speaking, if Ye Renxin had this pulse, according to his past life experience, he should be lying on the bed dying. The pulse is like a rootless duckweed, weak and weak. How can he be so lively and energetic to accompany his granddaughter shopping?
But it is so strange.
Ye Renxin is jumping around and looks fine.
Before his father died, he had taken his pulse. He tried his mother, uncle and other relatives at home, but found no difference from his previous life.
But at this time, Ye Renxin's pulse made him confused, so he didn't dare to make a conclusion.
He thought about it and realized that the only difference was that Ye Renxin was a soul master, and a healing soul master!
"Well, I don't understand your words. You might as well speak more directly." Ye Renxin's expression became a little indifferent without knowing when. Cheng Xiao had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "According to what I have learned, you are dying."
There was no sound from the other side. Cheng Xiao looked up and saw that Ye Renxin had a complicated expression, but he was not angry.
In a moment, Cheng Xiao had a flash of inspiration in his mind. Could it be that... he knew his own situation?
Damn!
He had begun to doubt his life because of this pulse, but he did not expect a sudden turn of events.
But the problem is, he would rather he was wrong!
It was not easy to get a big man who had some status and connections in the soul master world on the list, and now he told him that this big man was dying!
The thigh was going to fall!
All the previous thoughts were in vain, and Cheng Xiao felt that it was more uncomfortable than killing himself.
"Don't tell Lingling!" Seeing Ye Lingling turn around, Ye Renxin ordered.
Cheng Xiao nodded and replied, "Junior knows."
"Grandpa, I bought it." Ye Lingling playfully jumped to Ye Renxin's side.
Ye Renxin took the tea leaves and stood up: "Then let's continue to stroll around Tiandou City."
"Okay, okay!" Ye Lingling nodded repeatedly, smiling.
Cheng Xiao stood up with a heavy heart, and his smile was forced and stiff.
"Don't think too much, just have fun." Seeing this, Ye Renxin advised.
Cheng Xiao nodded helplessly and agreed. The two of them kept it a secret from Ye Lingling and strolled until dusk.
Looking at the sky, Cheng Xiao bowed and said goodbye: "Old sir, it's getting late, why don't we stop here today. I'll take my leave first."
Ye Renxin narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Young friend, you are tired of strolling around, right? Why don't you go to my old friend's house with me to have a meal, how about it?"
Young friend?
Cheng Xiao keenly noticed the change in address. The word "friend" is not something that Ye Renxin can say casually.
If it was before, Cheng Xiao would be very happy at this time, but after feeling the pulse, how could Cheng Xiao be happy?
Good news, I got in touch with the boss.
Bad news, the boss is going to die.
Cheng Xiao had mixed feelings.
"Is this...appropriate?" Cheng Xiao hesitated. It's against the rules for a guest to bring a guest.
"It's appropriate. My old friend likes to make friends the most." Ye Renxin said nonsense.
"Grandpa is talking nonsense again. You said before that your friend doesn't like to be disturbed." Ye Lingling didn't give him face and ruthlessly exposed him.
"Ahem. I was giving him face in the past, so it doesn't count as disturbing him. It's just bringing someone, it's no big deal."
"Then... I'm sorry to bother you." Cheng Xiao agreed.
The three of them went to a remote residence in Tiandou City together. Although it was remote, the mansion was not small at all. It occupied a large area and the decoration was even more luxurious than that of ordinary nobles.
"Old man, why don't you open the door?" Ye Renxin looked over the house, looked up at the window, and laughed loudly.
"Ka--"
the door gradually opened, and a green figure came in front of him as fast as the wind. Cheng Xiao's eyes blurred, and when the wind dissipated, he had time to look at the person. The green color in front of his eyes immediately changed Cheng Xiao's face.
