"Mr. Chen, do you have any basis for saying the Chief's time is almost up? According to ancient medical records, if a person is on the verge of death, it must manifest physically. Signs should surface, but the Chief currently shows no such abnormalities..." Elder Xunn was clearly skeptical.
After all, with his medical expertise, he could accurately determine if someone was nearing their end or simply experiencing a final resurgence of vitality. Yet, he saw no signs of trouble in the old man. For Chen Fei to claim the Chief's time was almost up… With such a conflicting diagnosis, how could he not have doubts?
Given the Old Chief's identity, there was absolutely no room for error or levity.
"Elder Xunn, why don't you take the old gentleman's pulse now?" Chen Fei suggested, casually retrieving the Silver Needle he carried and gently inserting it into the old man's legs.
