Chapter 354: Want to Have a Good Laugh At Her?
Ling Chuxi and Xiao Tianfan walked into the courtyard and their expressions changed immediately. The Transforming Life Pill was actually a kind of poison. It did not have any color or taste, and it allowed one to die in a pleasant state without feeling any pain. To put it bluntly, it was euthanasia.
If Xiao Tianfan had hesitated in the beginning, then there was not even the least bit of hesitation now. Even if it was treating a dead horse like a live one, he had to let Ling Chuxi make an attempt too. Both of them hastened their steps, and headed for the inner area.
“Tianfan, what are you doing?” Xiao Gaode called out and stopped Xiao Tianfan.
“First Uncle, my friend knows medical skills as well. I was hoping that she could have a look at grandfather,” Xiao Tianfan spoke clearly.
The moment he finished speaking, indignant muttering could be heard all around. The gazes that were directed at Ling Chuxi were full of disdain and ridicule. The people here were famous doctors, well known for many years, but how old was Ling Chuxi? Even if she studied medicine from the time she was born until now, it would still not be more than twenty years. What kind of methods could she possibly have for a sickness that even they could not cure?
“Xiao Tianfan, I know that you are eager to save his life, but you can’t just turn to any doctor for this critical illness,” Master Sun said coldly to Xiao Tianfan.
“Hmph. It seems to me that he just wants to express filial piety. After hearing that grandfather could not be cured, he went to look for someone just to put on a show. Don’t think that we, the Xiao family, will regard you any differently. Your stint is pointless to us,” Xiao Tianwen sneered mockingly.
“I don’t care how all of you see me. If there is even a glimmer of hope, I still want to give it a try. I refuse to watch Grandfather leave like this.” Xiao Tianfan did not look at Xiao Tianwen but instead stared at the Transforming Life Pill in Xiao Gaode’s hand. A strong, icy Battle Qi suddenly surged from him, sending chills through everyone in the room.
Xiao Gaode felt his heart constrict, and he subconsciously kept the Transforming Life Pill away.
“Forget it. If she wants to try, then let her. I’d like to see what method she could possibly have to treat a sickness which even we could not treat,” Master Sun said in a taunting manner.
“Master, it seems like you firmly believe that I cannot cure the old master’s sickness. What if I cure him?” Ling Chuxi asked irritably, bored of looking at these people’s faces. These quack doctors – they practically treated human life as if it was worth less than straw!
“Hmph. If you can come up with a cure, I, Sun Pei, will not practice medicine from this day onwards. Also, you can take whatever you want from the medical herbs and pills in my workshop,” Master Sun said arrogantly.
“Alright, you said it yourself,” Ling Chuxi said decisively, calling him an idiot in her heart. She had just provoked him with a sentence, and he had put a bet on his entire clinic. She had not even placed her bet yet. Where else in the world could she find this kind of bargain which had only profit and no loss?
‘Looking at Master Sun’s haughty manner, his family property is probably substantial, so his clinic should have many great things in it.’ Ling Chuxi felt like laughing out loud.
Without talking further, Ling Chuxi and Xiao Tianfan entered the room swiftly. An old man with a head full of white hair was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. Although he was unconscious, there was pain etched on his rosy face. When the pain became too much, he would even bite his lips until they bled.
Ling Chuxi stretched out her hand to check his pulse. Her expression gradually turned solemn.
The old man’s pulse was strong. As she carefully felt for it, the strong Battle Qi in his meridians were like seawater that had burst its bank, rolling and surging forwards. Besides the Battle Qi, there was another mighty qi rushing left and right. It was colliding violently with the strong Battle Qi and the meridians which could not bear such an impact could burst at any time.
At the door, Master Sun and the others looked at Ling Chuxi contemptuously, waiting to have a good laugh at her.
