Chapter 1344: Chapter 841: Compensation (Part 3)
Listening to Kurong Child’s words, Xie Lanyin sighed inwardly, knowing that everything was already beyond recovery.
After all, within Kunxu, the responsibility of leadership can be shouldered by subordinates, and the achievements of subordinates can be seized by leaders.
Not to mention the losses and mistakes she caused today, which no one would bear for her.
At this moment, Xie Lanyin finally understood the danger she had sensed before.
"Unknowingly, I’ve blocked everyone’s path to earning money."
"Few care about the truth of the matter; Sect Enterprises just want to resume production quickly, and those above want to eliminate negative impacts swiftly..."
"And the quickest, lowest-cost way is for me... to willingly bow my head, to willingly pay, to use my own money to heal Zhang Yu."
"I am the one they all deemed most suitable to take the blame."
In that moment, Xie Lanyin understood that when everyone reached a consensus, even though her cultivation was shocking as a Void Refining Cultivator, she was no longer in control.
Xie Lanyin smiled bitterly, looking again at Bu Yingshu and Xiao Yunhe before her.
Although she had exchanged plenty of information with Kurong Child just now, everything happened quickly in the accelerated Spirit Realm.
Now seeing the two of them again, her attitude had completely changed.
Xie Lanyin bowed and said, "Lord Bu, I am willing to go to Zhang Yu, apologize, and pay..."
Beside her, Xiao Yunhe nodded with satisfaction and began to persuade, "Lord Bu, although Vice President Xie has erred, she recognizes her mistakes and is willing to amend them. I think the most important thing now is to heal Vice President Zhang..."
After all, Zhang Yu hadn’t been truly killed by the other side, and upon hearing Xie Lanyin’s willingness to pay, Bu Yingshu’s expression slightly relaxed.
With Xiao Yunhe’s persuasion, the wills of Bu Yingshu and Xie Lanyin traversed the Spirit Realm, arriving at the medical facility in the development zone.
Under the heavy encirclement of Taoist Skills, Zhang Yu, his life breath extremely weakened, lay on the hospital bed.
The doctor responsible for treating Zhang Yu was pondering how to treat the patient when even the ordinary Magic Treasure used in treatment couldn’t break through his resilient body.
Realizing Xiao Yunhe and the others’ arrival, the curator of the medical facility immediately brought the attending doctor over.
Xiao Yunhe asked with a concerned expression, "How is Vice President Zhang’s condition?"
The attending doctor sighed, "After the examination just now, the situation is very bad. The patient has multiple fatal injuries all over, and even the Immortal Spirit Root within him has been knocked out, completely scrapped..."
"Conventional treatment Magic Treasures are also ineffective for the patient."
"We will do our best going forward, but possibly... the treatment costs will be very high."
The attending doctor said so much, as a prelude to the high treatment costs.
After all, with the medical techniques of Kunxu, most patients can be cured; the biggest difference lies in the cost of medical care.
And for some cultivators, excessively high medical fees might be worse than death.
In this situation, most cultivators care more about the medical fee they have to pay compared to diseases and injuries that are most likely curable.
To them, if treatment costs exceed their ability to bear, even successful treatment is tantamount to failure.
Hearing this revelation, Bu Yingshu glared fiercely at Xie Lanyin.
Upon hearing the high medical costs, Xie Lanyin sighed inwardly.
At that moment, someone suddenly shouted, "Doctor, it’s not good! The patient has woken up."
On the hospital bed, Zhang Yu opened his eyes, looked at Bu Yingshu and Xiao Yunhe before him, and said, "Lord Bu, President, you’ve come?"
Beside him, Xie Lanyin greeted, "Vice President Zhang."
Seeing Zhang Yu not speaking, Xie Lanyin could only continue, "I’m here to compensate."
Zhang Yu’s eyes brightened as he turned to look over.
The doctor nearby was startled inside, "Oh no! Why did the patient’s vital signs suddenly rise?"
"Is it the stimulation from Immortal Coins, uplifting the Dao Heart, and triggering life potential?"
After all, having dealt with cultivators as patients, the doctor knew that often a change in mental state or Dao Heart could effectively trigger their life potential.
Thinking of this, the doctor could only look at Zhang Yu with a worried face.
And Zhang Yu, looking at Xie Lanyin, said, "How much compensation?"
Xie Lanyin said, "One million..."
Bu Yingshu sneered, "One million? You’re treating the Lower Realm... you’re treating poor wretches?"
Zhang Yu’s eyes dimmed again, and his entire aura withered.
The doctor beside him shook his head, breathed a sigh of relief, "The vital signs have declined again."
Touching his belly, Zhang Yu said sadly, "I only had the Immortal Spirit Root for over a dozen months, slowly adapting, completely growing it within my body..."
Watching Bu Yingshu glaring at her from one side, Xie Lanyin sighed inwardly again, and said, "Vice President Zhang, this time it indeed was my mistake, I am willing to compensate with five million, that’s my utmost sincerity."
Bu Yingshu straightforwardly said, "Not enough, at least ten million Immortal Coins, plus cover all medical costs."
Xie Lanyin’s gaze suddenly sharpened, "I don’t have that much cash."
Bu Yingshu expressed disbelief, confronting sharply, "Show me your account balance. If that’s not enough, sell your assets."
Xiao Yunhe beside them said, "Ten million is somewhat excessive. Although Vice President Xie has considerable assets, she likely can’t procure such a large amount of liquid funds in short order."
Thus, under Xiao Yunhe’s mediation, Zhang Yu, Bu Yingshu, and Xie Lanyin gradually decided on the compensation amount and manner.
