Chapter 2498: A request Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations Guan Xilin smiled. “I saw him pause several times. He must have guessed my identity. No, he should figure out my and Little Jiu’s relationship.” His identity was unimportant, but when he was linked with Little Jiu, he became Ghost Doctor Feng Jiu’s brother. As a result, he speculated that when Patriarch Qiao hesitated to speak several times, it was not directed at him, but at his sister Little Jiu. Ye Jing smiled as he heard this. “Ah Jiu’s Ghost Doctor identity is too loud, and she now has so many reputations that she can’t be compared to ordinary people. It’s natural for some people to want to be close to you.” ‘The two of them were conversing in the courtyard. Guan Xilin raised his hand when they vaguely heard footsteps. They fell silent and just sat. After a while, a voice could be heard outside the courtyard. “Brother Guan.” The voice of Qiao Yinuo was heard. Guan Xilin looked back and saw that even his father was coming. “You two are still awake?” he asked, standing up with a smile. Ye Jing nodded and then went to her room to rest. “Young Master Guan.” Patriarch Qiao smiled as he approached the table. “In fact, I’m coming to disturb your sleep tonight because I have a request.” “Please take a seat.” Guan Xilin smiled and motioned them to sit down. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶 The servants who had been waiting for them delivered them tea and then walked out of the courtyard without even keeping watch. Guan Xilin’s smile became even wider as he noticed this out of the corner of his eye. “If you have something to say, Patriarch Qiao, you should say it.” May I inquire as to whether or not Young Master Guan is Guan Xilin?” With his gaze fixed on Guan Xilin, he inquired directly. Guan Xilin smiled. “What if I am? What if I am not?” “To be honest with you, Young Master Guan, I have a request.” He explained the matter simply to the man in front of him. Finally, he stated, “Because I’ve been to Heavenly Pill Tower, but I haven’t been able to see Ghost Doctor and request that she treat her for my father. So, when I saw Young Master Guan here today and was struck by your imposing demeanour, I assumed you were Guan Xilin, Ghost Doctor’s adoptive brother.” He stood up, pulled up his robe, and knelt down toward Guan Xilin. “Please understand my heart as a son as well as my position as the Qiao family’s patriarch, Young Master Guan. I shoulder heavy responsibilities and I have to think about the Qiao family. Please help us, Young Master Guan.” “Father.” When Qiao Yinuo saw that his father had knelt and begged on the spot, he couldn’t help but cry out. When he saw his father’s resolute expression, he knelt beside him. “Please help us, Brother Guan!” Guan Xilin rose to his feet and gazed intently at the father and son kneeling in front of him. Patriarch Qiao kowtowed abruptly and quickly. He had never expected a Patriarch to kneel before him. It was too late to stop him now. When he saw Qiao Yinuo on his knees, however, he couldn’t help but shake his head and assist them to their feet. “Patriarch Qiao, Young Master Qiao, please stand up first!” “Will Young Master Guan agree to help?” Patriarch Qiao inquired, holding his hand but refusing to stand. The kowtow was nothing in comparison to keeping the Qiao family safe and bringing his father out of his coma. “In fact, you don’t have to do this.” He helped them up with a forceful movement of his hands. They were astounded that he was so strong that he could raise them off the ground, preventing them from continuing to kneel…
