Peerless Medical Emperor

This was, naturally, a good thing for Patriarch Zheng.

”If this young man cures your son, are you really going to give him one of your companies?”

Situ Xian looked at Patriarch Zheng.

Zheng Shifang nodded firmly.

”As long as he can cure my son, I will of course keep my word.”

Zheng Shifang said.

”Good.”

”I hope you will honor your promise when the time comes.”

”Furthermore, I hope you’ll build a good relationship with this young man.”

”His future is likely beyond anything you or I could ever hope to achieve.”

Situ Xian said.

”Yes, I’ll remember what you’ve said, Mr. Situ.”

Zheng Shifang nodded.

In truth, Zheng Shifang also had a very high opinion of Chen Qingdi.

The sixteen needles placed, Chen Qingdi slowly concluded the procedure, then turned his head and smiled at Patriarch Zheng.

”Patriarch Zheng, it’s done.”

”Within an hour, the green viral mist will dissipate.”

”An hour after that, the green fur on your son’s body will slowly begin to recede, or at least start to fade.”

Chen Qingdi said.

”Okay.”

Zheng Shifang nodded lightly.

An hour later, just as predicted, Young Master Zheng’s body was no longer emitting the green mist.

This made Zheng Shifang ecstatic.

It was proof that the treatment was working.

Since the green mist was no longer spreading, the Sealing Gas Shield was no longer necessary. Chen Qingdi quickly dispelled it.

”Mr. Situ, you can come have a look.”

”Young Master Zheng’s vital qi should have returned to his body by now.”

”The Sixteen Immortal Needles can revive a person’s vital qi and reconnect the flow of qi and blood through the meridians.”

Chen Qingdi said.

”Alright, I’ll take a look.”

Situ Xian nodded eagerly.

He then strode over to Young Master Zheng.

After reaching Young Master Zheng, he examined him carefully again and again before finally turning with a smile and saying, ”Indeed, his vital qi has stabilized within him. Your son isn’t going to die this time.”

Situ Xian said with a smile to Patriarch Zheng, who had followed him over.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Shifang was so happy he almost leaped for joy.

Everyone had said his son was a dead man walking, a monster covered in green fur as punishment for some evil deed.

Now, he finally saw a ray of hope.

”Son, did you hear that? You’re saved!”

Zheng Shifang said, his voice thick with emotion.

He then turned to Chen Qingdi, tightly grasped his hands, and thanked him profusely.

Chen Qingdi smiled and shook his head. ”There’s no need for such formality. I was only doing what I should.”

At the gate of the Zheng Family’s grand courtyard.

Zhuge Yunduan, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly regained consciousness.

The moment he awoke, he began to cough uncontrollably.

After a fit of violent coughing, Zhuge Yunduan staggered to his feet.

He looked around in confusion before the events of earlier came rushing back to him.

As he was trying to process it all, two of the Zheng Family’s servants approached him.

”Our apologies. We only left you on the ground because Elder Divine Physician Situ said the earth would help you regain consciousness more quickly.”

”Elder Divine Physician Situ said you were affected by the viral mist, and that this would help you purge the absorbed toxins from your system faster.”

the two servants explained to Zhuge Yunduan.

”I see. And what about that brat who came with me?”

”Didn’t he pass out?”

Zhuge Yunduan just couldn’t bear to see anyone else do well.

”Mr. Chen did not.”

”He’s perfectly fine.”

the two servants said.

”I don’t believe it.”

”His medical skills couldn’t possibly be better than mine.”

Zhuge Yunduan said.

With that, he started to charge upstairs to find Chen Qingdi and see what was going on.

He was convinced the two servants had to be lying.

It never once occurred to him that the problem might lie with himself.

”Mr. Zhuge, you can’t go up there!”

”Besides, Young Master Zheng isn’t even up there anymore.”

The two servants hurried after him.

When Zhuge Yunduan reached the top of the stairs, he found the main hall empty, which he thought was very strange.

It had been full of people just before.

Something wasn’t right.

Once upstairs, Zhuge Yunduan recklessly threw open the door to Young Master Zheng’s sickroom, only to find it completely empty.

Naturally, Young Master Zheng, who had been in the bed, was also gone.

The two servants quickly caught up to him.

”We told you, Young Master Zheng isn’t upstairs.”

one of the Zheng Family servants said.

”Where did Young Master Zheng go?”

”Where did everyone else go?”

Zhuge Yunduan was utterly bewildered; he felt as if he had missed something important.

”Young Master Zheng is in the rear courtyard. Mr. Chen is treating him.”

”Patriarch Zheng and Divine Physician Situ are both in the rear courtyard as well.”

the Zheng family servant said.

”What?!”

Shocked and incredulous, Zhuge Yunduan simply couldn’t believe that Chen Qingdi possessed such ability.

”What did you just say? Say it again!”

Zhuge Yunduan couldn’t believe that Chen Qingdi was actually treating Young Master Zheng.

’Doesn’t that mean Chen Qingdi never passed out, and I was the only one who did?’

’If that’s true, I’ve brought complete and utter shame to the Martial Medicine Association.’

”It’ll be the same no matter how many times I say it! Mr. Chen is in the rear courtyard treating Young Master Zheng!”

”Mr. Zhuge, what’s wrong?”

The servant asked, looking at Zhuge Yunduan.

As if he’d gone mad, Zhuge Yunduan stormed off toward the Zheng Family’s rear courtyard.

”Hey, Mr. Zhuge! Patriarch Zheng already gave instructions. He said that once you woke up, you were free to leave and that we weren’t to stop you.”

”Where are you going?”

The two Zheng family servants shouted as they chased after him.

”Where am I going? I’m going to see just how that brat Chen Qingdi thinks he’s treating Young Master Zheng.”

”He’s nothing but an ignorant charlatan with no real skills to speak of.”

”Patriarch Zheng can’t be allowed to fall for his tricks.”

Zhuge Yunduan’s gaze grew colder as he quickened his pace.

’I have to see for myself if that brat Chen Qingdi can actually cure Young Master Zheng.’

Filled with righteous fury, Zhuge Yunduan found the rear courtyard and charged aggressively toward Chen Qingdi.

The moment he reached Chen Qingdi, without a word, he grabbed a fistful of his clothes.

”You brat! Stop endangering people’s lives!”

”Patriarch Zheng, you mustn’t believe him!”

”I’m the only one who can cure Young Master Zheng’s illness!”

”This kid is just a wandering quack! What could he possibly know? What skills does he have?”

Zhuge Yunduan ranted crazily at Patriarch Zheng.

Patriarch Zheng’s expression turned ugly.

In his opinion, this Zhuge Yunduan was behaving outrageously.

Chen Qingdi had clearly saved his son’s life, yet now he had to endure Zhuge Yunduan’s insults.

”Mr. Zhuge, please refrain from causing a disturbance.”

”My son needs his rest.”

”Please leave at once.”

Patriarch Zheng said.
