Li Chuan nodded, "No problem."
Zeng Youqian, upon hearing this, burst into laughter, "Young man, you're speaking so confidently? The illness I couldn't handle, and you dare to say it's no issue? Who gave you such confidence?"
Li Chuan turned to look at Zeng Youqian and said with a cold smile, "You couldn't handle it, so it just ans your dical skills are poor. Just because your skills are poor doesn't an others' are too! That's not right!"
Everyone around was stunned; this was the first ti they had heard soone say Zeng Youqian's dical skills were poor.
This guy is the dean of the Provincial Central Hospital!
Zeng Youqian's face turned red and then white, "Young man, I didn't say others' skills were poor, I was talking about you! I can tell you just like to show off. If you were that skilled in dicine, why would you stay in such a poor mountain area like Taohua Village!"
"You say there's no problem. I'm curious, what's Old Master Zhou's condition?"
Li Chuan, "Just so basic ailnts, nothing significant."
"Heh!" Zeng Youqian laughed, "Is this your diagnosis? I guessed it right; you're just here to show off! Fool!"
After hearing Li Chuan's words, the Zhou family all showed displeasure on their faces, feeling like they were being toyed with!
Were they being made fools of?
Zeng Youqian saw this and beca more smug, continuing to press on, "You say these are basic ailnts, then why have they made the old master remain unconscious?"
Li Chuan remained calm, "Old Master Zhou, this is due to witchcraft!"
"Witchcraft?"
Everyone looked at Li Chuan with strange expressions. Could this guy really be a fraud? Usually, only a scamr would talk about witchcraft, using it as a pretext to deceive.
Is this guy really not just here to joke around?
"Listen to this, witchcraft? It's ridiculous. Thirty years ago, this trick might have worked, but now, saying this insults our intelligence! Even saying the old master is poisoned is more credible than witchcraft!"
Zeng Youqian sneered.
Zhou Wei and Wang Qiuyue also frowned because the idea of witchcraft was simply too bizarre and hard to believe.
Li Chuan said calmly, "There are many things in this world that cannot be explained by science. Just because you don't know them doesn't an they don't exist."
The old master's illness reminded him of Huo Xiuxiu's previous condition; both were due to witchcraft. It seed like the wizards from India and Nanyang were fond of causing trouble in Great Xia.
Zeng Youqian, "Oh? We don't know, but you do. Then why don't you save Old Master Zhou!"
Li Chuan looked at Zeng Youqian with amusent, "I will indeed act, and I am sure I can save the old master. But before I act, to prevent so diocre doctor from stealing my credit, I must first ask Dean Zeng, can you save Old Master Zhou? If you have the capability, I'll let you do it, so when he wakes up, you won't claim all the credit is yours."
"This..."
Zeng Youqian's face darkened; he indeed did not have the ability to wake up Old Master Zhou, and he had already said this before.
As for stealing Li Chuan's credit, in Zeng Youqian's view, that was a joke.
If Li Chuan could cure the old master, pigs could climb trees!
So, Zeng Youqian looked at Li Chuan with disdain, "I admit my knowledge is limited, and I don't have the ability. Young man, since you're so skilled, stop talking and act, so we all can see!"
Li Chuan, "If you can't do it, just step aside and watch quietly. Why so many words!"
With that, Li Chuan approached the bedside, extended his finger, circulated his True Qi, and gently pressed. Soon, fresh blood oozed from his fingertip, and he used it to draw a simple talisman on the old master's forehead.
Li Chuan's Lingxi True Qi contained the purest spiritual energy between Heaven and Earth, including the Pure Yang Power, capable of neutralizing most witchcraft!
"Kid, what are you doing..."
Seeing Li Chuan's action, a mber of the Zhou family couldn't help but speak; drawing a talisman on the old master's forehead, that was called treatnt?
However, before he could finish, he went silent.
It wasn't just him; everyone around went from skepticism, disdain, and anger to shock and disbelief!
They all appeared as if they were dreaming, with dazed expressions!
Because, the long-unconscious Old Master Zhou, whom Zeng Youqian had deed dead, slowly woke up. Upon opening his eyes, he didn't look weak or spiritless but rather energetic, like an elder who just woke from a nap.
Moreover, Old Master Zhou stretched lazily, then swiftly flipped over, sat up from the bed, and looking at the Zhou family mbers around him, asked with confusion, "What are you all doing?"
He then stood up, waving his arms as if to stretch his muscles, looking full of energy.
The crowd, "..."
Everyone wore a perplexed expression.
Li Chuan's recent treatnt was witnessed by everyone: he rely used his blood to draw a symbol on the old master's forehead, and he woke up this spirited!
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would've thought it was a movie scene!
Old Master Zhou, upon learning the reason from Zhou Wei, expressed his surprise and quickly thanked Li Chuan.
As a result, Li Chuan beca a great benefactor in the eyes of the Zhou family, receiving high respect and courtesy, leaving Zeng Youqian envious.
In Zeng Youqian's view, he had been visiting the Zhou family frequently, caring for the old master diligently, and as the hospital dean, he should have a high status in the Zhou family. At this mont, if he claid the old master woke because of his efforts, they should believe him, right?
With this thought, Zeng Youqian quickly stepped forward, "Old Zhou, you just woke up and can't exert yourself. Let check your vitals."
Old Master Zhou, being an old acquaintance, nodded with a smile, feeling obliged to give so face.
After so pretense, Zeng Youqian said pompously, "Kid, you're really lucky. I just treated Old Master Zhou, and you reaped the rewards. Old Zhou, to be frank, the reason you woke up is..."
Zhou Wei interrupted imdiately, "Dean Zeng, we've all witnessed your treatnt during this period. We don't doubt your skills, but please don't take us for fools, either."
Zeng Youqian, looking disgruntled, "Director Zhou, this kid's trickery of using his blood to draw talismans for healing is absurd, and you believe it?"
