Just then, on the sickbed, Hua Haishan suddenly let out a cry of "Ah" and opened his eyes, abruptly sitting up.
He looked incredibly spirited!
All mbers of the Hua Family were shocked beyond belief, their mouths agape as they stared at Xiao Zheng. Was he... really cured? They montarily didn’t know how to express their current emotions.
Damn it!
Slapping soone could cure illness?
"I... where am I, and why... does my face hurt so much?"
Hua Haishan turned his head to look around and noticed everyone surrounding him, each giving him very strange looks, causing a perplexed expression to appear in his eyes.
"Father."
Seeing this, Hua Muran couldn’t contain herself anymore, she cried out and threw herself into Hua Haishan’s arms, "You had your daughter worried to death."
As the Clan Leader of a major family with exceptional abilities, Hua Haishan quickly regained his composure. He patted Hua Muran’s back and smiled, "Muran, why cry? Aren’t I fine? Can soone tell what just happened?"
Hua Muran cried for a while, then relayed everything that had just occurred. Although she was emotional, her account was clear and coherent, and Hua Haishan quickly understood what had happened.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for saving my life."
Hua Haishan imdiately looked at Xiao Zheng with gratitude.
Although he was very grateful, he did not display any particularly special gestures. In his view, it was only right for a doctor to save lives and treat illnesses, and a simple token of appreciation afterward would suffice.
At that mont, Hua Muran suddenly said, "Father, do you rember Brother Xiao? He’s the Xiao Zheng I told you about before, the one who saved once."
Hua Haishan’s expression changed dramatically!
"Xiao Zheng?"
Upon hearing that na, Hua Haishan was utterly startled.
How could he not know the na Xiao Zheng? A few years ago, the young prodigy who dominated Zhonghai as the Master of Tianji Sect! Back then, just a word from him could shake Zhonghai City.
He had also heard recently that this prodigious young man had returned to Zhonghai City and was just as phenonal as before, imdiately annihilating the major powers of Qing Liancheng!
Such a figure was simply incomparable to the Hua Family.
A whirlwind of thoughts flashed through Hua Haishan’s mind, and he no longer saw Xiao Zheng rely as a doctor. The Master of Tianji Sect personally treating him was, no matter how you looked at it, a huge favor!
Hua Haishan struggled to his feet from the bed and bowed deeply to Xiao Zheng, showing utmost respect, "I never imagined that the man who saved would be the legendary prodigious young man. How fortunate I am!"
anwhile, Hua Youwei, standing nearby, was completely stunned.
He had never before seen his father treat anyone like this.
Hearing "Xiao Zheng" and "prodigious young man," Hua Youwei was shocked and looked towards Xiao Zheng with an incredulous thought.
Could he... could he be the Sect Leader of Tianji Sect?
Thinking back to his own disrespectful actions towards Xiao Zheng earlier, cold sweat broke out on Hua Youwei’s back. He was literally seeking death!
However, having been the center of attention in the Hua family from birth with only Hua Muran outmatching him, Hua Youwei had developed an arrogant character early on.
Despite the shock and fear, he quickly changed his thoughts, thinking secretly: "Isn’t he just a forr leader of Tianji Sect? What’s that to ? We are around the sa age, and I, Hua Youwei, may not necessarily be inferior to him!"
"Moreover, although I was sowhat arrogant just now, it was all for a reason, and the people around can testify to that. Xiao Zheng also has a good relationship with my sister, so how could he bear to trouble ? There definitely won’t be a problem," he thought.
With this thought, Hua Youwei relaxed, the corners of his mouth curling into a cold smirk.
Even if Xiao Zheng had great glories in the past, those days were long gone; he was rely a forr Sect Leader! Hua Youwei thought to himself.
But just then, a fierce shout suddenly rang in Hua Youwei’s ears, "You unfilial son! What are you still dazed about here for? Don’t you know what you just did? Apologize to Mr. Xiao imdiately!"
It was Hua Haishan.
After Hua Haishan learned of Xiao Zheng’s true identity, he recalled the scenario described by Hua Muran, specifically the part where Hua Youwei repeatedly tried to call the bodyguards to drive Xiao Zheng away. Cold sweat broke out all over his body.
It was well known that the Master of Tianji Sect was ruthless. Although in light of Hua Muran’s face, Xiao Zheng might not necessarily trouble Hua Youwei, still, it was indisputable that Hua Youwei had left a very bad impression on Xiao Zheng—certainly not a good thing by any ans!
Feeling defiant, Hua Youwei blurted out, "Father, I think everyone understood the situation just now. Although Mr. Xiao possesses unique skills, none of us could tell that, so so misjudgnts were made. That’s understandable, isn’t it? Does that really require an apology? Mr. Xiao isn’t so petty, right?"
Upon hearing these words, everyone shook their heads.
"Xiao Zheng saved your father’s life. How could you treat him like that and argue against apologizing now? You’re still trying to save face at a ti like this."
You even tried to pressure Xiao Zheng with your words!
No matter how you look at it, you’re the one being petty!
Indeed, upon hearing this, Hua Haishan’s face grew extrely unpleasant, and rage seed to spew from his eyes.
This child is simply too worriso!
He also felt extrely embarrassed, barely knowing how to face Xiao Zheng. Having such a son was a total disgrace!
However, Xiao Zheng just gave a faint smile and glanced at Hua Haishan.
Hua Haishan imdiately felt a chill run through him!
"This Xiao Zheng... although he has a good relationship with my daughter, it is only that. Not only did my son treat him rudely at the start, but now he’s also made these remarks. If he really angers Xiao Zheng..."
The consequences would be unbearable to imagine.
"Kneel down!"
Thinking this, Hua Haishan shouted sternly.
His voice was very harsh.
Seeing his father furious, Hua Youwei, who was usually very afraid of his father, felt even more frightened and imdiately knelt down with a thud.
The mbers of the Hua Family shook their heads upon seeing this scene.
"You see, if you really stood by your own opinion, that would be one thing; no matter what, you’d be considered a tough guy. But just a scolding from your father has you scared witless; it’s really quite disgraceful."
"Kowtow to Mr. Xiao! Apologize! Otherwise, don’t call father anymore!" Hua Haishan said fiercely.
Even though Hua Youwei felt indignant, he was too terrified to disobey the harsh words he had never heard before from Hua Haishan; he could only kneel and kowtow.
He said to Xiao Zheng, "Mr. Xiao, I’m sorry, I was wrong earlier."
Yet, in his heart, he was extrely annoyed with Xiao Zheng!
