Chapter 152 Need Nothing In Return

“F... Father!”

Having seen Qi Wang Fu open his eyes, Qi Huang could not help but shout out with surprise and joy.

He felt that what he was seeing was comparable to a great miracle. No, it should be called something beyond a miracle!

He almost did not believe that what he was seeing was real. However, what he was looking at right now was more than enough proof.

Qi Huang quickly walked up to the side of Qi Wang Fu’s bed.

When he reached the side of the bed, tears suddenly ran down his face. It was obvious that his love for his father was tremendous, even though he was already an old man.

“How are you feeling, father?” Qi Huang asked with concern in his voice while holding Qi Wang Fu’s hands.

There were no words from Qi Wang Fu’s mouth.

It was not surprising, though, because he had been sleeping for almost a year. He did not have any energy to even speak. All he could do was look at his son, confused.

Soon after, the confusion turned into gentleness. Even though he had no clue what had happened to him, he still remembered very well that he had been out playing with his adorable grandchildren, Qi Huang’s children, before he blacked out.

“As expected of you, Elder Chen Bai.”

After seeing everything, Xu Xue Ning let out a sigh with excitement. Finally, what she was thinking had turned out to be real. That beautiful, sparkly light blue liquid was really a life-extending elixir for normal people.

As for Bai Chen, even though he was not as emotional about it, he still thought everything that he received from the Life-Changing System to be astonishing. While he was thinking this, a sound rang in his head along with the appearance of a translucent window.

Ding!

[Mission Complete!]

Mission 22: Change someone’s life (Success)

Reward: You have received 50 points and the opportunity to receive special skills or items at random!

---

Bai Chen looked at the mission-accomplishment window in front of him; his lips curved into a faint smile. He had received as many as 50 points from this mission, which was half of a hundred points.

What he was thinking right now was that he had already received 80 points, and only 20 more were needed to reach level 5. He would then have two opportunities to receive items or skills at random.

The two opportunities he received were from the past Mission 21 and 22.

His heart was filled with happiness. He closed the mission-accomplishment window that had popped up and was about to go back and look at the next mission that awaited him and the two opportunities that he possessed.

“Let me introduce you to this man. His name is Mr. Bai Chen...”

While Bai Chen was about to leave, Qi Huang told his father about how he had saved his life.

After hearing the story from his son, Qi Wang Fu’s withered body began to tremble. The corners of his mouth seemed to be trying to say the words ‘thank you’.

His eyes, filled with gratitude, looked straight at Bai Chen. Even though he still thought that Bai Chen was only a young man, he believed his son without hesitation.

As to why he believed him without any conditions, it was because Qi Huang was his son. The proud son that his beloved late wife had given birth to.

“Mr. Bai Chen, I’m truly grateful for what you did. Whatever you would like, please feel free to make a request, and I’ll do everything in my power to make it happen.”

Qi Huang, after restraining his joy, quickly expressed his gratitude towards Bai Chen. His way of talking seemed to be even more polite. His forms of address had become politer.

In his eyes, anyone could easily tell that he was seeing Bai Chen as someone who had done him such great favor that he could not ever repay it.

Qi Huang was one of the ten most influential generals in the army. Of course, he knew that the thing Bai Chen had just used to save his father’s life was priceless and that he could not possibly repay this favor.

Because he would not be able to find a life-extending elixir anywhere in his lifetime.

Actually, Qi Huang had just realized that the elixir even existed. It was not just a myth or something made up in a drama.

Qi Huang realized the value of the ten-year elixir; that was why he did not hesitate to offer Bai Chen anything he wanted.

“I don’t need anything in return,” Bai Chen said.

He really did not need anything in return. He was simply doing missions that the Life-Changing System had asked him to do.

“That’s just...” Qi Huang was speechless for a moment. He did not expect Bai Chen to reject the offer. He was about to convince Bai Chen to accept it. Qi Huang would feel bad if he did not do something for him in return.

However, before he even begin to say anything, Xu Xue Ning suddenly spoke up. “Uncle Qi, if he says he doesn’t need anything, just do what he says.”

Xu Xue Ning thought that refusing a cultivator as strong as Bai Chen was impolite. It would be chaos to this world if he ever got angry.

Because of this, she did not hesitate to interrupt to surreptitiously inform Qi Huang of this.

Qi Huang was feeling uncertain, but he did not dare to insist. From what Xu Xue Ning had said, both before and just now, including the fact that Bai Chen possessed a ten-year elixir, everything had proven that Bai Chen was not a normal man. He might be even greater than the five most influential families in Beijing.

It was more trustworthy because Xu Xue Ning, a member of one of the five most influential families, did not dare to be impolite to Bai Chen.

“Understood. If you want anything, please don’t hesitate to contact me.”

Qi Huang said this while offering Bai Chen his name card. He did not want to ask about how many years the elixir had added to his father’s life. No matter how much longer his father lived with him, it would be much better than losing him now anyway.

Bai Chen looked at the name card, and he could not help but be stunned. It was an official name card... General Qi Huang!

An army general!

At that moment, he finally understood why the penalty for failure of this mission was that he would never live a happy life. Making an army general mad was definitely something that would make him miserable for life.

Bai Chen put away the name card and excused himself to leave.

Qi Huang wanted to treat him to a meal to show his gratitude, but Bai Chen rejected the offer. He left the hospital room, thinking that he wanted to go back home to prepare for the field trip to He Ling beach.

However, before he took his leave, Xu Xue Ning rushed out of Qi Wang Fu’s room after him.

“Elder Chen Bai, please wait.”

She asked him to stop. The words she used were like that because no one else was around.
