The man looked at Alex with wide eyes. "Would you… would you do that for me?" he asked.
"Your daughter is in a coma. As an alchemist and a doctor, I cannot find it in me to ignore the situation. Especially when it looks like it can not be solved by just the two of you," he said.
The man immediately bowed. "Thank you, young man," he said, crying tears. He could tell by now that the young man he had accidentally brought along was no normal person.
He could tell from the start that he was someone special by the way he constantly hid his face in the mask. Which was why he never dared to ask what his name was.
Given that he was good at looking for ingredients, he could also tell that the young man was an alchemist. Given the special treatment he had received in these places where he could move around without having to pay, the young man almost believed he was someone from the Imperial family.
Maybe a person with close relation to his Majesty, and was thus allowed to use the Valley as he pleased.
"We will have to go back to the courtyard I've rented in the mountains. Will you come with me?" the man finally asked.
"Of course," Alex said.
"Let us leave then," the man said and started walking toward the edge of the 10th field on the 8th row. They could walk outside from there and then could go to where their courtyard was.
If they were anywhere else, they could have to fly up and leave the Valley. Once someone flew above where the guards were floating in their boats, they could not step back into the valley.
The three men arrived outside the Hundred Blossom Valley and quickly made their way toward the Verdant mountain range where the man had rented his courtyard.
He glared at Wu Shun the entire time, more annoyed than angry now. The trip here had been a waste of what they had come here for, but if Alex could save his daughter, he would consider it a success.
However, he found it hard to get his expectations high.
He spoke up to Alex as he needed him to know this before they arrived at the courtyard. "There's something I haven't mentioned to you just yet," he said. "It's about my daughter's condition."
Alex looked at the man. "What do I need to know?" he asked.
"That I am not sure what happened to her," he said.
Alex frowned. "Didn't you say she went through Qi Deviation?" he asked.
"Yes… but that is what my wife told me," he said. "I cannot for certain confirm that she really did go through Qi Deviation."
"Does he know?" Alex asked, pointing to the young man next to him.
"I know," the young man replied.
"I've told this to everyone I have taken my daughter to get healed," he said. "But I must tell you, none have succeeded. They all say that they never saw anything like this before. Which is why I've been struggling to deal with the problem."
"He gave me hope saying he could deal with it… but we can't even find the ingredients to test," the man said.
"I'm sorry, but I really did believe it would work," the young man said.
"That's alright," Alex quickly told the man. "You were never clear on what happened to your daughter, so I was going to check thoroughly from the start anyway. I will then see if I can deal with it."
"Thank you," the man said, but his hopes didn't rise at all. His hopes had been slammed many times before to hope for it again. He was simply going to see if it worked or not.
