Qi Dengxian’s hand reached out and touched Huang Qingge’s falling body. His fingers hooked; clamping onto her shoulder.

Immediately after; he stepped forward and turned his body in a half circle; pulling Huang Qingge into his embrace and catching her with ease.

The massive impact caused his body to sink slightly; yet he did not pause. He took another step forward; spinning his body to dissolve the force of the landing.

Huang Qingge weighed over ninety catties. Falling from over six meters in the air; she would have met the end of her life; her fragrance fading and jade perishing; were it not for Qi Dengxian.

“Beautiful; what is so troubling that you feel the need to jump from a building?” Qi Dengxian asked with a smile.

“…” Huang Qingge was stunned. She looked at Qi Dengxian blankly; unable to say a single word.

Then; she began to feel dejected. Why was she still alive? Why wasn’t she dead?

She only wanted release; why couldn’t she even achieve that?

At this moment; Huang Qibin’s head poked out from the window. Seeing Qi Dengxian holding Huang Qingge; he was first startled and then overjoyed. “Fantastic!”

Huang Wenlang was stunned by his son’s reaction. Rage surged through him. His daughter had just jumped; and his son was celebrating?

“Dad; Qi Dengxian caught Little Sister below! She’s fine!” Huang Qibin shouted in excitement.

“What?!” Huang Wenlang was shocked. He rushed over and leaned out the window; seeing Qi Dengxian indeed standing there holding Huang Qingge.

Huu…

Huang Wenlang let out a long breath. His legs went weak; and he sat directly on the floor.

The faces of Xu Aoxue and Jack Sun were deathly pale. Hearing that Huang Qingge was safe; they also let out sighs of relief.

“Go on home then. I need to get back as well.” Qi Dengxian casually set Huang Qingge down and spoke indifferently.

Huang Qibin and the others rushed downstairs as fast as they could. Seeing Qi Dengxian leaving the courtyard after letting go of Huang Qingge; they became anxious.

“Master Qi! Master Qi; please wait!” Huang Qibin ran up with a face full of smiles.

“What; have you come to break my legs?” Qi Dengxian raised an eyebrow and spoke with a cold smile.

Huang Qibin froze for a second. He then gave a flattering smile. “How would I dare? Was I not just playing a small joke with Master Qi just now? How could I ever do such a thing?”

Qi Dengxian replied; “Since that is the case; then there is no problem. I am leaving.”

“Master Qi; do not leave. Please do not go… I am infinitely grateful to you for saving my little sister; but as they say; if you save a person; save them completely. Deliver the Buddha all the way to the West; Master Qi…” Huang Qibin grabbed Qi Dengxian’s arm; refusing to let him leave.

Earlier; Qi Dengxian had said that Jack Sun’s treatment method was improper and would lead to a disaster. Sure enough; an incident occurred shortly after.

Only now did Huang Qibin truly realize that Qi Dengxian was no jianghu charlatan; he was a true master!

Furthermore; could an ordinary person easily catch an adult woman falling from six meters high? It was impossible to even imagine!

“Master Qi; please do not leave…”

Huang Wenlang also rushed over. This Mayor currently showed none of the dignity of a top official. His face was filled with dejection and embarrassment.

Qi Dengxian spoke calmly. “Mayor Huang; you were the one who told me to leave; and now you are the one telling me to stay. What exactly do you want?”

“I am sorry; I am sorry! Everything just now was my fault! But Qingge is my daughter after all. Because of her; I lost control of my emotions. I hope you can understand…” Huang Wenlang hurriedly bowed in apology.

Seeing a Mayor ignore his pride to bow and apologize; the look in Qi Dengxian’s eyes softened slightly. He said calmly; “Fine. I can understand. I forgive you. I’ll be going now.”

“Ah?!”

Father and son were both stunned. They hurriedly blocked him.

“Please do not… Master Qi; we were at fault for looking down on people just now. Please do not take offense! You saw my little sister’s situation. Please; show mercy and save her.” Huang Qibin pleaded piteously.

“Master Qi; I truly know my mistake. Please show great mercy and save my daughter!” Huang Wenlang added.

Qi Dengxian fell silent. He was not the type of person who could be summoned and dismissed at will.

Huang Wenlang coughed and said; “Master Qi; please help with this. In the future; no matter what happens; as long as I can do it; even if I have to go through mountains of knives and seas of fire; I will not frown once!”

Qi Dengxian scoffed and then shook his head. “Fine; fine. Since you have put it that way; I will think of something.”

“Good; good! Thank you; Master Qi!” Huang Wenlang was repeatedly courteous.

Qi Dengxian was invited back into the residence by the father and son. The servants who had just spat at him didn’t even dare to fart now.

“Mayor Huang; I am truly sorry. The situation just now was beyond my expectations…” Jack Sun walked over; his face filled with embarrassment.

“Mr. Sun; this is not your fault. My daughter’s situation is indeed complicated.” Huang Wenlang sighed. “I will leave the rest to Master Qi!”

Xu Aoxue was stunned. She looked at Qi Dengxian and said in surprise; “Mayor Huang; you are really going to let this charlatan…”

“Charlatan? Hmph; absurd! Did a single word Master Qi said just now not come true? President Xu; please maintain your dignity!” Huang Wenlang frowned and spoke in a deep voice.

Xu Aoxue was silenced. She gritted her teeth and gave Qi Dengxian a hateful look.

Jack Sun shook his head and said; “If I could not handle this matter; can a prison guard like him handle it?”

“Mayor Huang; I suggest you give me some time to seriously study Miss Huang’s condition. I can certainly devise an excellent treatment plan.”

“If you let him act recklessly; and it makes Miss Huang’s condition worse; it might increase the difficulty of the task later!”

Jack Sun was an expert after all. His words made Huang Wenlang and Huang Qibin fall into silence as they considered the point seriously.

“Make your own decision.” Qi Dengxian looked at the father and son expressionlessly and spoke indifferently.

Huang Wenlang gritted his teeth and said; “Let Master Qi perform the treatment for my daughter first!”

Hearing this; Jack Sun’s face was filled with disappointment. He gave Qi Dengxian a disdainful; cold smile. “You are just a blind cat bumping into a dead rat. Letting you try will only make the illness more severe.”

“I can cure her.” Qi Dengxian said coldly.

“You can cure her? Are you joking? Even I; an American expert; could not handle this. You; a mere prison guard; dare to make such a wild claim!” Jack Sun said with a cold laugh.

Qi Dengxian said calmly; “It is only a matter of one hour.”

Jack Sun was stunned; then he laughed loudly. “Haha! I am certain now; you are a charlatan! One hour is enough? Are you joking? If you achieve that; where would psychology experts all over the world put their faces?”

Qi Dengxian couldn’t be bothered to respond. However; even Huang Wenlang felt he was being a bit too arrogant this time; his words were a bit too extreme.

“Fine then. If you can cure her within an hour; I will give you five million US dollars on the spot!” Jack Sun said coldly.

“But if you cannot; you will kneel before me and admit your mistakes to psychology experts worldwide. Admit you are a shameless charlatan!”

“I hope; Mayor Huang; you can witness this for us!”
