Chapter 278: Chapter 278: Unfathomable (2nd Update)The physician named Wu Liushou was a medical expert with authority in Jianghai Province and also the director of East Sea City Hospital. Mr. Jiang’s illness had always been under his care, yet despite all his efforts, Mr. Jiang’s health went from bad to worse day by day. After analysis with all sorts of modern scientific instruments, he had already issued a critical condition notice for Mr. Jiang, practically a death sentence! Now, someone was claiming it could be cured, and by a mere twenty-year-old youth at that? Wasn’t this a slap in his face? "You can’t cure it because your medical technique is lacking. Does that mean no one else is allowed to cure it?" Ye Xuan curled his lips with a scornful look flashing across his face and said indifferently, "Ancient Medicine is profound and excellent at curing complicated and miscellaneous diseases. The deep and esoteric knowledge within it is something that the ancients couldn’t fully fathom in their entire lifetimes. It’s simply beyond your comprehension." Seeing this scene, everyone’s mouths twitched. This kid, actually daring to say Director Wu’s medical technique was inferior, was showing off too much! Hearing this, Wu Liushou laughed angrily, "You say I don’t understand Ancient Medicine? Heh, my primary focus is the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicines. Though I am modest, I have made some achievements in Ancient Medicine too! My master is none other than Mr. Yao Guangsheng, a towering figure in Ancient Medicine. Even he couldn’t handle Mr. Jiang’s illness. Do you think you, a young man, could surpass my master?" "Yao Guangsheng? If he’s so capable, is he stronger than the Divine Doctor?" Ye Xuan chuckled coldly, his words leaving Wu Liushou at a loss for words. Divine Doctor? That’s already legendary, a great ancestor of Ancient Medicine! Is there really someone with medical technique even more formidable than them? Actually, Ye Xuan knew about Yao Guangsheng, but in terms of medical technique and seniority, the man was far behind him! Ye Xuan didn’t take him seriously at all. Seeing that Ye Xuan didn’t even regard his own master highly, Wu Liushou’s heart was filled with anger, and he pointed at Ye Xuan and shouted, "To me, what kind of doctor are you? You’re not even twenty, right? You don’t even have a medical license! Hmph, if you truly know medical technique, then where’s your medical practice license? Show it to me!" After hearing Wu Liushou’s words, the Jiang Family members all looked towards Ye Xuan. Not to mention his age, just by the look of his attire, it was improbable for him to have a medical practice license! It seemed like a sudden awakening for them—if this kid didn’t even have a medical practice license and rashly treated Mr. Jiang, that would be pure chaos. Suddenly, the room fell silent, everyone waiting for his response. If it weren’t for the fact that Mr. Jiang hadn’t spoken up, they all would have already chased him out. Sure enough, under everyone’s gaze, Ye Xuan shook his head and said lightly, "I don’t have a medical practice license." A medical practice license—did he need such a thing with his medical technique? That was truly laughable! "No medical practice license, that’s unlicensed medical practice!" Wu Liushou stared at Ye Xuan and said coldly, "Kid, you’ve got some nerve. This is my hospital, and you, an unlicensed doctor, think you can disrupt our medical order." Jiang Qi looked at Ye Xuan with schadenfreude and sneered, "Unlicensed medical practice? That’s ground for criminal detention. I knew it, you’re a quack, spewing nonsense around here! I’m going to call the police station right now; you scammer better get ready to spend your days behind bars!" Saying that, he reached for his phone, ready to make the call. "Wait!" Just then, Mr. Jiang, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up. His dim and yellowed old eyes were fixed intently on Ye Xuan as he asked, "Young man, do you really have a way to cure my illness?" Ye Xuan said he wouldn’t live past three days, but in truth, Mr. Jiang was well aware of his condition. With his current physical state, he indeed wouldn’t last much longer. Since the other party had said it straight to his face, it was enough to show his straightforward character. Moreover, he had been observing Ye Xuan all along. When the people of the Jiang Family were all viewing him as an enemy, his expression remained unusually calm. Even when Jiang Qi took out his phone threatening to call the police, Ye Xuan didn’t show the slightest hint of panic. Such a person either had real skills or was someone even he couldn’t see through! Both of those aspects made the elder Jiang feel that the young man before him seemed to be extraordinary. "I told you, I can cure your illness! It’s just that these people don’t believe it," Ye Xuan said lightly, with his arms crossed over his chest. "Good, they don’t believe you, I do! Since Fenglin invited you to treat me, if you have any requests, feel free to make them." Elder Jiang’s eyes lit up, and after sizing up Ye Xuan from head to toe, he spoke slowly after a moment’s thought. "Dad!" "Grandpa!" "Elder Jiang..." Hearing Elder Jiang’s words, Jiang Jianguo, Jiang Qi, and the others all tried to speak up to stop him. "What’s the panic? I’m not dead yet, let him treat me! I don’t believe he can treat me to death," Elder Jiang frowned and scolded sharply. The people around were as silent as cicadas in winter, immediately shutting up. Ye Xuan couldn’t help but show a bit of surprise; in all of the Jiang Family, it seemed only this old man had some boldness, which made Ye Xuan regard him highly. "Rest assured, for the sake of Young Master Xie’s face, I will cure you! Otherwise, wouldn’t it make me lose face?" Ye Xuan said with a smile, and his words caused the mouths of the Jiang Family members to twitch. You’re treating Elder Jiang just to save face? Hearing this, Xie Fenglin was touched and quickly asked, "Boss, what do you need?" Instead of instructing Young Master Xie, Ye Xuan looked towards Jiang Qi and said indifferently, "Get me some paper and a pen. There are some medicinal herbs that you will need to purchase. Also, bring me a porcelain bottle! Oh, and I’ll need a basin of clean water." Seeing that the other party didn’t move, he frowned and barked, "What are you standing around for? Hurry up and bring the things here!" "You brat, you dare order me around?" Jiang Qi glared at him, his expression ugly. "If I’m not talking to you, am I talking to the air?" Ye Xuan looked at him as if he were looking at an idiot. "You..." Jiang Jianguo said in a deep voice, "Stop wasting time, go." Jiang Qi dared not defy him, and with a resentful glare at Ye Xuan, he turned and brought the paper, pen, porcelain bottle, and a basin of clean water. "Hmph, don’t get too arrogant. If you oppose the Jiang Family, it won’t end well for you!" After handing over the items, Jiang Qi threatened in a low voice. "You really are an idiot. Right now, it’s your Jiang Family that is asking for me. If you keep on yapping, do you believe I’ll just turn around and leave?" Ye Xuan glared at him coldly, his face showing a mocking sneer. Hearing this, the bystanders from the Jiang Family all cast despising glances at Jiang Qi, thinking that this guy really was brainless. Ye Xuan pondered for a moment and then picked up the pen and swiftly wrote down a list of medicinal herb names on the paper. He then looked around and beckoned to Mayor Jiang Jianguo. Jiang Jianguo was stunned, finding the scene all too familiar; he suddenly remembered that he usually summoned people like this. Now, he was the one being called over, and he didn’t dare to resist! A wave of frustration welled up in his heart, and he walked nervously up to Ye Xuan, frowning slightly, he asked, "What is it?" Ye Xuan didn’t notice the dissatisfied expression on Mayor Jiang’s face and handed over the prescription he held, saying, "Arrange for someone to collect the herbs. I’ll keep Elder Jiang’s life hanging in the balance for now. Once the herbs are gathered, I’ll know what to do!" Follow current novels on freewe(b)novel.c(o)m
