"What's wrong?" Sire Zhao frowned as he unhappily said, "I know my own body well. I can eat, sleep, and even work!"

　　As for Yue Zun, he was worried that Sire Zhao might flare up and immediately smiled. "Sire Zhao, please calm down. There might be another reason in his words."

　　Withdrawing his hand, Su Tao said in a grave tone, "Sire Zhao, there's no problem with your body, there's only an issue in your cervical vertebra. However, the state of your cervical vertebra is still better than anyone at your age, so as long as you receive a ma.s.sage periodically, it can help to alleviate your cervical vertebra's issue. There's nothing wrong with your body, but there's an issue with a painting on the wall!"

　　Hearing Su Tao's explanation, Sire Zhao's expression loosened up, before he asked in perplexion, "What's wrong with the painting?"

　　Nodding his head, Su Tao replied with a serious tone, "There's nothing wrong with the painting in general, but there's an issue with the person that drew this painting. Although it was signed with your name, I can guess that it must be done by a friend of yours!"

　　"You actually noticed that?" Sire Zhao exclaimed in astonishment.

　　Nodding his head, Su Tao responded, "I'm not proficient in calligraphy and painting, but as the saying goes, calligraphy can reflect the person, while painting can be drawn vividly. There are many styles in traditional Chinese painting drawn using brushes of different sizes. The brush itself is soft, and practice is needed to wield the brush like the wind. The so-called 'strength of the brush' is a display of the body's Qi. Thus, you can determine the Qi in a person's body based on his brush strength. Judging from the style, this person is extremely familiar with your style, so it's practically the same as a genuine work by you. But even if the brush techniques can be imitated, it cannot conceal the state of the author's body. From these details, I can tell that the Qi of the person that made this painting is weak, and I'm afraid that he won't live for long."

　　Sitting on the side, inwardly, Yue Zun grew anxious as he wondered why Su Tao talked so much with Sire Zhao. Since there's no issue with Sire Zhao, then Su Tao could just complete his healthcare service. Why did he go on blabbering?

　　"Su Tao is just blurting things without minding his words, so please do not take it seriously!" Yue Zun explained to Sire Zhao.

　　As Sire Zhao's expression turned ugly, he glanced at Su Tao's face before he finally sighed, "Professor Yue, you've misunderstood Physician Su. He was speaking the truth. This painting was indeed a copy of my work done by my friend. Likewise, that friend of mine kept my work at his home."

　　According to Sire Zhao's shrewdness, he wouldn't usually blurt such private matters, but it was mainly because Su Tao jabbed at his sore spot.

　　Hearing those words, Yue Zun was briefly stunned as he looked at Su Tao in astonishment. Su Tao even managed to deduce such details? Isn't that too unbelievable?

　　Since Su Tao noticed the date of the work, he sighed, "If I've guessed correctly, this friend of yours must have pa.s.sed away, right?"

　　Wearing a bitter smile, Sire Zhao nodded his head and sighed, "That's right! I was depressed for a long time when I came to know about this matter. At that time, he was gravely ill, and I even invited the National Healer's Specialist Team to treat him, but they failed. Thinking about it now, it was also precisely because of this reason that I was so against the healthcare service provided by the National Healer's Specialist Team."

　　Hearing Sire Zhao's explanation, Yue Zun instantly knew what was going on. So this is the reason why so many National Healers were afraid of providing healthcare services for Sire Zhao.

　　"The lifeforce of that friend of yours had already snapped when he did this work, and even Hua Tuo couldn't do anything to save him." Su Tao patiently explained.

　　After the matter had been pa.s.sed for a long time, Sire Zhao's mood was much better and he looked at Su Tao for a long time before he nodded his head and praised, "This matter was hidden in my heart for a long time, and I've never mentioned this to anyone. I never expected that I would reveal it to you. All of a sudden, I feel so much better now. Life, death, honor, and riches are determined by fate. With my current age, I won't live for a long time, and I will be able to meet him soon in another world in a few more years."
