"Huh?"
Lin Fan was puzzled. Why would a Siamese person know about internal energy?
Zheng Ke's eyes were no longer dim and lifeless.
If only he had said so earlier!
He would never have accepted defeat at the hands of an ordinary person.
However, he felt no surprise in losing to a master of internal energy.
Lin Fan treated him while observing his internal condition.
To his shock, he was startled.
Zheng Ke's leg bones were densely covered with strange, spiderweb-like patterns.
Lin Fan pondered for a while before realizing these were the traces left behind by repeated bone fractures and healings.
It was hard to imagine what kind of training this fellow had endured to develop such invincible legs.
The toughness of his tendons was practically comparable to that of an old ox!
Looking at his joints, lower abdomen, chest, and head.
Lin Fan's brows furrowed tighter as he observed, "Did no one tell you that you could lose your life training like this?"
Compared to Zheng Ke's powerful and fierce punches and kicks, the internal damage to his body was immense.
Lin Fan was certain that even if he rested from now on, his body would develop various ailments within ten years.
"You don't need to worry about my business!"
Zheng Ke's face showed anger, and he turned his head away.
He wasn't ignorant of his body's condition; he simply refused to think about it.
His formidable skills were his only pride, and the ability that kept him by Zheng Yue's side.
Lin Fan shook his head. "As you wish."
Tian Mengyao angrily cursed, "Like a dog biting the hand that feeds it, ungrateful!"
Zheng Ke did not retort.
"Alright, you can try now,"
Lin Fan said as he stood up.
"All better?"
Zheng Ke could hardly believe it.
He was frequently injured, and in his experience, injuries of this severity would take at least half a month to heal completely.
He tried to stand up and walked a couple of steps.
"Is internal energy really this magical?"
Feeling no pain in his legs, he almost doubted his own life and was filled with envy.
While Muay Thai was fierce and powerful, it also caused great damage to the body.
In contrast, internal martial arts were profound and mysterious, beneficial to the human body, and could even prolong life.
Zheng Yue curiously sized up Lin Fan.
If it weren't for her preconceived notion that Lin Fan was a swindler, she might have already offered to take him under her wing.
He was far superior to Zheng Ke, who could only fight and kill and had a simple mind!
He could fight and heal people – a truly versatile talent!
"Lin Fan, you can also read fortunes and predict people's destinies?"
Zheng Yue asked.
It was hard to imagine someone so young not only being proficient in medicine and possessing extraordinary combat skills but also dabbling in esoteric arts.
In any field, success was difficult without dedication and perseverance.
It couldn't be that he had multiple arms or was self-taught, could it?
"I wouldn't dare claim to predict life and death, but I can read people's fortunes,"
Lin Fan replied.
"Oh."
Zheng Yue finally revealed a smile. "If I remember correctly, you promised my father something."
"Your father?"
Lin Fan immediately understood. He had promised Li Yurou, and then Li Yurou had offered it as a gift to someone else.
This little girl was truly a shrewd businesswoman!
"That is indeed the case."
Lin Fan nodded gently. "Who do you want me to examine? You?"
"I never believe in superstitions."
Zheng Yue made a gesture for him to proceed. "Please demonstrate your abilities so I can report back to my father."
"Then when will you fulfill your promise to me?"
Lin Fan asked.
"Of course, after you have proven your abilities,"
Zheng Yue said proudly. "The name of our Zheng family is not something that anyone can simply borrow."
"I..."
Lin Fan felt depressed. Who cared about their Zheng family? He just wanted a presentable company.
What was originally a simple matter had become so complicated because of Li Yurou's meddling.
Tian Mengyao tugged at Lin Fan's sleeve and asked with her eyes, "What's going on?"
Lin Fan replied with his eyes, "You're asking me? If it weren't for Zhou Weiguo deliberately making things difficult for me, would things have turned out this way?"
Tian Mengyao was surprised by Lin Fan's resentful gaze, pouted, stomped her foot, and threw a small tantrum.
"You want me to show you my abilities, right? Then I'll do it for free this time."
Lin Fan said helplessly.
"Please proceed."
A hint of mockery flickered in Zheng Yue's eyes.
No matter what Lin Fan said, she wouldn't admit it.
She wanted to see how Lin Fan would carry out this charade.
Lin Fan activated his Purple Pole Spirit Eyes.
Zheng Yue met his gaze defiantly.
She frowned, feeling as if Lin Fan's pupils were like black holes, mysterious and profound, giving her the sensation of being drawn in.
Within Lin Fan's divine eyes, a black mist was coiling around her, and judging by its trend, it was continuously spreading and expanding, almost reaching her brow.
Once the black mist ascended to the crown and merged with her fortune, she would likely fall into great misfortune immediately!
"Stop putting on a show. What do you have to say?"
Zheng Yue's tone was laced with sharp barbs and impatience.
"Miss Zheng, there is something on you, right here."
Lin Fan followed the source of the black mist and pointed to the position of Zheng Yue's chest.
Zheng Yue's face flushed red. She didn't expect Lin Fan to be so bold.
"How dare you!"
Zheng Ke roared, "How dare you disrespect Miss!"
Lin Fan was utterly exasperated.
She wasn't naked, so why be so coy about a point? Snow White wasn't this delicate!
"Did I say something wrong?"
"No."
Zheng Yue covered her chest with her hand. "My mother is a devout Buddhist. This is a Buddhist amulet she gave me, which she said was blessed by a master, capable of warding off misfortune and averting disaster."
"Of course, I don't believe in such nonsense myself. I've always treated it as a keepsake."
Zheng Yue did not forget to explain that she was a materialist.
"I don't know where it came from,"
Lin Fan retracted his hand. "But it won't be long before it brings you misfortune, possibly costing you your life."
"What?!"
Zheng Yue's beautiful eyes widened instantly. "Something my mother personally gave me couldn't possibly harm me!"
Her face was filled with anger. "You're trying to sow discord between my mother and me for no reason. People like you are indeed the most despicable!"
"I..."
Lin Fan's heart trembled. "Miss Zheng, I'm just saying what I see. Whether you believe it or not is up to you."
"I believe you..."
Zheng Yue suppressed the urge to curse, maintaining her composure as a young lady from a prominent family.
"Hey, if you don't believe him, fine. Why are you scolding him?"
Although Tian Mengyao found it incredible, she stood firmly by Lin Fan's side.
Zheng Yue shook her head in disappointment. "A waste of my time."
She said and then prepared to leave.
"Hey, don't go."
Lin Fan became anxious when he saw her about to leave.
It was difficult enough to get her here, and Zhou Weiguo had also agreed. If she left now, it would be troublesome.
