The Urban Medical Martial Immortal

Chapter 696: Chapter 692: Taking Action

Ghost Doctor Saint Mu Nanfeng and his disciple Ma Shengjie, Lin Tian had met these two earlier at Shui Ku and Yun Jing.

The medical skill of Mu Nanfeng was unquestionably good in Lin Tian’s eyes!

However, his disciple Ma Shengjie’s medical skill was only mediocre.

In Lin Tian’s eyes, he didn’t deserve the title of Divine Doctor!

That was why he spoke up and decided to lend a hand.

After all, this was Shu Yi’s grandfather!

However, Lin Tian’s words, when heard by everyone present, surprised them.

Immediately,

Shu Yi, Xiang Daisan, and Lv Wenbing and his wife, all turned their gaze to Lin Tian, their eyes filled with hope and eagerness.

Cheen Chaoya kneeling before Lin Tian earlier was too shocking!

By now, they all understood that this young man before them was extraordinary!

Since he spoke with such certainty, he must have a way to cure.

But, the other members of the Xiang Family frowned as they looked toward Lin Tian.

“Who is this boy? Spouting nonsense and causing trouble—if he can cure our father, Dean Cheng might as well resign and go home!”

Among the Xiang Family, a young man glared at Lin Tian and criticized angrily, “Moreover, he has the audacity to casually criticize Doctor Ma; that’s so impolite!”

Hearing this, other members of the Xiang Family also murmured among themselves for a while and shook their heads upon looking at Lin Tian.

“Third Uncle, how can you speak like this!”

Xiang Daisan, previously dissatisfied with Lin Tian, surprisingly spoke up for him now, displeased at the young man. “Didn’t you see what happened in the hotel earlier? Cheen Chaoya even knelt before Lin Tian!”

After saying this, Xiang Daisan looked a bit proud!

Her initial indifference and dissatisfaction with Lin Tian had vanished completely!

At first, everything Lin Tian said seemed boastful and arrogant to her, but after witnessing Cheen Chaoya’s kneeling, Xiang Daisan realized that her cousin’s friend… this man was not ordinary!

The man her cousin admired really was top-notch!

Xiang Daisan glanced back at Lin Tian and sighed inwardly.

“What? Shanshan, you’re saying Cheen Chaoya knelt to this lad?”

The group from the Xiang Family exclaimed in surprise, staring at Xiang Daisan in astonishment.

Fwu Nianqing rolled her eyes, pinched Xiang Daisan’s cheek, and complained, “You’re usually so clever, why the nonsense today? What if Mr. Cheen hears you? It’d offend him for no reason!”

“Mom, I’m not talking nonsense! Cheen Chaoya really did kneel before Lin Tian!”

Seeing that even her own mother didn’t believe her, Xiang Daisan became anxious, shook Fwu Nianqing’s arm, and pleaded, “You can ask Uncle Lv and Aunt Zhou if you don’t believe me; they saw it with their own eyes!”

Hearing this, Lv Wenbing and Zhou Zhiyao were about to speak with slight smiles.

But then, Xiang Maoxun coldly shouted, “Enough of your mischief, even involving your Uncle Lv and Aunt Zhou! Don’t forget your manners! This isn’t the time for jokes with your grandfather being seriously ill!”

Thus, Lv Wenbing and Zhou Zhiyao simply remained silent.

“This young friend, you can eat food recklessly, but you shouldn’t speak without care!”

Dean Cheng, who hadn’t left, looked somewhat displeased and turned to Lin Tian, speaking earnestly, “Joking is fine normally, but with Mr. Xiang being seriously ill, you should be cautious with your words. Moreover, Doctor Ma, having been taught by the elder Mu Nanfeng, possesses amazing medical skill; how could he not deserve the title of Divine Doctor? Such comments should not be made carelessly; it wouldn’t be good if Doctor Ma heard them!”

“And Niece Shanshan, don’t you know what kind of person Cheen Chaoya is? How can you joke about him like this!”

“Don’t say such things again!”

When Dean Cheng finished speaking, Xiang Maoxun scolded his daughter again, then coldly glanced at Lin Tian. He was not in the mood to pursue the matter further and turned to Dean Cheng, “Dean Cheng, please take care of my father before Doctor Ma arrives!”

“Of course!”

Dean Cheng nodded solemnly, then turned around and went back into the ICU.

Shu Yi opened her mouth, wanting to explain, but realizing the critical condition of her grandfather, and unsure of Lin Tian’s real situation, she could only suppress what she wanted to say and turned around apologetically to look at Lin Tian.

Lin Tian didn’t care about the comments of the crowd and smiled as he shook his head at Shu Yi, indicating it was okay.

Had Xiang Tonghe not been Shu Yi’s grandfather, Lin Tian wouldn’t have even bothered to respond.

The wait wasn’t long. In less than fifteen minutes, the Xiang Family’s driver arrived with a young man dressed in ancient attire hustling from the end of the corridor.

The person was none other than Sheng Jie!

“Doctor Ma!”

Upon seeing Sheng Jie arrive, Xiang Maoxun and the members of the Xiang Family gathered around, respectfully exchanged a few greetings, and then urged him on.

After all, Mr. Xiang was critically ill, and Xiang Maoxun and the others were desperate, without regard for propriety.

Surrounded by an enthusiastic and anxious crowd, Sheng Jie hadn’t taken a good look at anyone present and hadn’t noticed Lin Tian. He hurriedly said to Xiang Maoxun and the others, “Everyone, don’t panic, I’ll go in and take a look!”

With that, Sheng Jie, led by a respectful Xiang Maoxun, headed towards the ward while Dean Cheng hurried out to greet him.

The other members of the Xiang Family prepared to follow.

But in the end, except for Xiang Maoxun, everyone else was stopped and could only wait anxiously outside.

A full half-hour passed.

The door to the ICU finally reopened.

Xiang Maoxun followed Sheng Jie and Dean Cheng out, his expression grim and steps heavy.

“Xiang Maoxun, your old man’s illness is no ordinary disease,”

While walking, Sheng Jie shook his head at Xiang Maoxun, “If I’m not mistaken, it must be related to some strange, poisonous insect. I can’t detoxify it unless my master himself comes here! But, by the time I bring my master, your old man…”

Sheng Jie shook his head gravely at the end.

“This time, thank you, Doctor Ma, for making the trip!”

Xiang Maoxun slightly bowed to Sheng Jie, respectfully sighing.

Hearing the conversation, other members of the Xiang Family showed a gloomy expression.

Shanshan and others had tears reddening their eyes as they lowered their heads in grief.

“Lin Tian…”

At this moment, Shu Yi’s eyes were also red with tears ready to fall.

“If what Sheng Jie said is right, I can cure your grandfather’s illness!”

Lin Tian looked at Shu Yi seriously and spoke in a deep voice, “Tell them to let me intervene! Unless it’s an illness that even an ‘immortal’ can’t cure, he won’t die!”

“Really?”

Shu Yi’s eyes brightened, excitedly asking, “Lin Tian, are you serious?”

“Of course, I wouldn’t lie to you!”

Lin Tian seriously nodded at Shu Yi, affirming his statement.

Seeing Lin Tian’s confident and composed demeanor, Shu Yi made up her mind and turned to shout at Xiang Maoxun, “Uncle, my friend Lin Tian can really cure grandpa’s illness! He’s very skilled, otherwise, why would Mr. Cheen kneel to him?”

Shu Yi’s voice wasn’t loud, but at that moment, everyone from the Xiang Family was steeped in grief and helplessness; her words instantly woke Xiang Maoxun and the others, who turned their heads to look, their faces first showing surprise but quickly darkening again.
