40: Chapter 40 A Minor Doctor 40: Chapter 40 A Minor Doctor Having completed the final step, Xiao Yifei no longer had any strength left; he slid off the stool and collapsed on the ground.
“Ah!
You bastard!
What exactly have you done to the old man!”
Unable to wait any longer outside, the Poison Scorpion forcefully pushed open the door and saw Jiang Mingquan coughing up necrotic tissue.
Witnessing the scene before her, a sharp pang seized her heart—she thought Xiao Yifei had done sothing to Jiang Mingquan!
The Poison Scorpion let out a heart-wrenching scream.
Without a second thought, she pulled out a gun, aid it at Xiao Yifei, who lay collapsed on the ground, and was about to pull the trigger.
“Little Hero!
Stop!”
It was at that mont that the familiar voice of Jiang Mingquan pulled Poison Scorpion back from the brink of collapse.
Tears already streaming down her face, Poison Scorpion stared blankly at Jiang Mingquan, who now had his eyes open on the hospital bed, too shocked to add up: “Old man, you’re awake!”
“Little Hero!
Hahaha, that na is really funny!” Xiao Yifei, collapsed on the ground, couldn’t help but laugh weakly at Jiang Mingquan’s nickna for Poison Scorpion, and looking at her mixed with joy and sorrow, he said in a voice as feeble as a candle in the wind, “What were you screaming about just now!
Isn’t the person awake now!”
Even Xiao Yifei, who was so weak he couldn’t even move a finger, still didn’t forget to tease Poison Scorpion: “Cry if you must, but don’t sway your chest!
It makes my heart flutter!”
Poison Scorpion glared fiercely at Xiao Yifei.
Now she had no ti to bicker with him.
Looking at Jiang Mingquan who was now awake on the bed, she wept with joy: “Old man!
You really are awake!
It’s so wonderful!
You have no idea how worried I was for you!”
Although he still appeared a bit weak, Jiang Mingquan lay in the bed, at least looking sprightly, which was hard to imagine for soone who had just regained consciousness: “Little Hero, don’t cry, I’m all right now, aren’t I?
But seriously, we really must thank this young man beside .
Without him, I’m afraid this old life of mine would have been long gone!”
Jiang Mingquan spoke with a cheerful laugh.
The man who had just awakened no longer seed like the frail old man at the end of his years.
The mont he ca to, those bright, spirited eyes opened and closed, and an imposing aura, decisive and commanding, surged forth.
“Old man!”
Sniffling and sobbing, Poison Scorpion stepped forward, leaning on Jiang Mingquan’s frail body, weeping uncontrollably, only now truly resembling a young girl!
“It’s okay, it’s okay!
The old man is awake now, isn’t he!”
Jiang Mingquan gently stroked the scorpion’s head, then turned his head with so difficulty to look at Xiao Yifei, “I am able to see the light again today, all thanks to you, sir!
You have great talent!
You have worked hard for this old man!”
Jiang Mingquan spoke these words with a hint of reverence; since he knew who had helped him, it was clear that though he had been comatose and unable to move, he was still aware of his own body.
He felt an external force continuously aiding him in his fight against the illness, until he overca it.
This power, in Jiang Mingquan’s perception, was overwhelmingly strong!
Though he did not know what it was, he was very certain that all of this was the doing of the young man who had collapsed to the ground!
“It’s a trifle!” Xiao Yifei, lying there, casually waved his hand and said indifferently.
The scorpion, still unable to believe her eyes upon seeing the conscious Jiang Mingquan, couldn’t comprehend how this young man, who seed only capable of bragging, managed to cure the old master’s condition that had stumped so many formidable doctors without anyone’s help.
“May I have the honor of knowing your esteed na, sir?” Jiang Mingquan asked solemnly.
Even though he didn’t know Xiao Yifei’s background, the sheer skill Xiao Yifei had displayed ant he deserved respect.
Xiao Yifei, now feeling slightly better, stood up and said calmly, “I am Xiao Yifei.
I look forward to your guidance.”
The scorpion, however, still couldn’t stand Xiao Yifei’s indifferent deanor.
In her mory, everyone who ca to see Jiang Mingquan, regardless of their age, showed great respect at the very least, whereas Xiao Yifei acted neither inferior nor arrogant.
“What’s with you!
Do you really think just because you cured the old master by chance, you can be so arrogant?” The scorpion looked at Xiao Yifei with dissatisfaction and then turned to Jiang Mingquan, “Old master!
This Xiao Yifei is full of arrogance!
Who knows how he muddled through to make you co to!
I’m afraid it was just a fluke, and I don’t trust him!
There are many doctors downstairs; let them have a look at you again later!”
Having said her piece, the scorpion expected Jiang Mingquan’s support; however, upon hearing her words, Jiang Mingquan’s expression suddenly darkened.
He turned to the scorpion and said sternly, “Scorpion!
How do you talk to a sir like that!
I am well aware of my own illness!
Had it not been for sir’s righteousness in saving , I would surely have lost my life!
It is my honor that sir possesses such ability and is willing to help .
You dare to disrespect sir?
And even question him!
Apologize to the sir imdiately!”
Jiang Mingquan lived up to the title of Dog King; his countenance darkened, the temperature in the room dropped a couple of degrees, and with his imposing aura, he showed a level of respect for Xiao Yifei that the scorpion found hard to believe.
Nonetheless, the obedient scorpion still turned her head and looked at Xiao Yifei, saying coldly, “Sorry!
I didn’t know you were that powerful.
I apologize to you!”
Xiao Yifei smiled but did not engage the scorpion for the mont; instead, he turned his head towards Jiang Mingquan and said, “You are too kind, Jiang Elder.
I am but a humble doctor.
It is my duty to save lives and heal the wounded.
However, it took all my effort to wake you up today.
To cure the seventy-three afflictions in your body, I might need so more ti.”
Jiang Mingquan originally thought Xiao Yifei had only co to help him awaken from his coma, but upon hearing that Xiao Yifei was also willing to treat his hidden ailnts, Jiang Mingquan was in disbelief.
He suddenly closed his eyes, then quickly opened them again.
Seeing Xiao Yifei still standing before him, Jiang Mingquan’s body trembled with excitent: “Sir, I thought I was hallucinating when you said those words.
Such talent is rare in our nation.
That you are willing to repeatedly extend your aid for an old man like , I, Jiang Mingquan, am eternally grateful!”
Jiang Mingquan struggled to get up, but the tubes inserted all over his body made him uncomfortable.
Annoyed, he yanked all the tubes out and bowed deeply to Xiao Yifei: “I could feel the effort you put into saving .
You pulled back from the brink of death.
Sir, you are my savior!
And now you say you will help eradicate the ailnts that plague —these ailnts that have been like fishbones in my throat.
If sir truly can eliminate them one by one, you will have given , Jiang Mingquan, a second lease on life!
I cannot adequately repay these two great debts.
Sir, if you ever need sothing in the future, just command , and Jiang Mingquan will go through fire and water for you without hesitation!”
“Old master!” Seeing Jiang Mingquan offering such a grand gesture to Xiao Yifei, the scorpion, who was concerned about Jiang Mingquan’s health, quickly went to help him.
