Shock, followed by surprise, Ye Shikai had never seen himself as a meddlesome good-natured person. This act of "modesty" was simply a comparison between "a life" and "an illness". In comparison, he had chosen to retain the "illness" and exchange it for another "life". There were no other thoughts beyond this, let alone any anticipation of repayment.
Yet, the scene before him startled everyone. Perhaps this was what people meant by good deeds bring good rewards. In that instant, Ye Shikai felt like he knew everything. The fortune-teller before him had been playing dumb all along, or rather, he had been testing him.
"What are you still spacing out for? Do you want to get treated or not?" The fortune-teller reverted to his previous "masterful" tone. Just a while ago he had feigned being very pitiable, deceiving Ye Shikai completely. No wonder they say life is a drama; it all depends on the acting.
