Hearing this, everyone showed surprise and joy, wondering if a renowned physician had arrived.
However, when they saw who had spoken, the joy on their faces instantly vanished.
The one who spoke was none other than Ye Feng, who had previously vied with Master Gongsun for the chance to treat Old Master Xiao.
In everyone's opinion, if Master Gongsun was powerless, then Ye Feng, this kid, would be even more so.
Seeing this, Tang Zhiyang jumped out again to mock, "Ye Feng, even Master Gongsun couldn't cure that poison. What are you, a good-for-nothing, pretending to be tough for now!"
The others, hearing this, chimed in with their agreement.
"Exactly! Even a renowned physician like Master Gongsun couldn't cure that potent poison, let alone you, a kid who hasn't even grown all his hair!"
"That's right, this is a matter of life and death. Don't show off just because you know a little bit. If something goes wrong, you won't be able to bear the consequences!"
"Just get lost, stop thinking about showing off and saving the world all the time..."
Seeing this, Ye Feng ignored the concurring crowd and instead looked at Tang Zhiyang, retorting, "If Master Gongsun can't cure this poison, does that mean I, Ye Feng, definitely can't?"
This statement made everyone momentarily stunned.
Tang Zhiyang, upon hearing this, burst into laughter, "Haha! Do you think you're even better than Master Gongsun?"
"Am I worse than him?" Ye Feng asked loudly, unfazed.
Tang Zhiyang was first taken aback, then sneered, "Heh, how about we make a bet? If you can cure this poison, I'll kneel down and call you grandpa! Conversely, if you can't, you'll kneel down and call me grandpa!"
Ye Feng heard this and immediately looked disgusted, smiling, "Heh, you want to be my grandson? Are you worthy?"
"What? You damn..." Tang Zhiyang was so angered he almost spat blood.
Seeing this, Ye Feng continued, "However, if we're making a bet, let's change the stakes! Forget about calling each other grandpa, because you're not even worthy of being my grandson!"
"You, how dare you! Fine, what stakes do you want to change?" Tang Zhiyang asked.
Ye Feng spoke, "Aren't you engaged to Feifei through a childhood betrothal? And Feifei is my girlfriend!"
"So what?" Tang Zhiyang asked.
Ye Feng grinned, "If I can cure Old Master Xiao's poison, you'll break off your childhood betrothal with Feifei, immediately get out of here, and stop harassing her. How about that?"
Tang Zhiyang nodded, "Okay! But what if you lose?"
"If I lose, I'll break up with Feifei, end our relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend! I'll leave here immediately and never contact her again. What do you say?" Ye Feng said calmly.
"Hahaha! Good! You said it yourself! Let's have everyone present act as witnesses and referees!" Tang Zhiyang said excitedly.
Seeing the bet between the two, Xiao Feifei became a little flustered and asked, "Ye Feng, are you confident you can cure this poison?"
It wasn't that she didn't believe Ye Feng, but even Master Gongsun, a recognized renowned physician, was helpless against this poison.
Although she knew Ye Feng's medical skills were extraordinary, in her heart, they still didn't quite match Master Gongsun's.
Hearing this, Ye Feng smiled and said, "I haven't even properly examined your grandfather's condition yet, so I don't know!"
Xiao Feifei was so angry upon hearing this that she pinched Ye Feng and said angrily, "If you're not confident, why did you dare to make a bet with him!"
At this moment, Xiao Qinghai also stepped forward and said, "Let him go up and take a look first. If he's confident, let him try. If not, then forget it!"
Xiao Feifei nodded upon hearing this, "Alright!"
Seeing this, Ye Feng then walked up.
As Ye Feng went up, everyone looked at him with suspicion.
Old Madam Xiao directly stopped Ye Feng, saying, "Wait a moment, does this kid really know medicine?"
Old Master Xiao only had about ten minutes left, and she didn't want Ye Feng to waste this precious opportunity.
Just then, Master Gongsun suddenly spoke, "Let him try! This kid's medical skills should be no less than mine!"
Hearing this, everyone was greatly astonished.
What had they just heard?
Master Gongsun, known as "Miraculous Hands Rejuvenating," actually said that Ye Feng's medical skills were no less than his own?
"How is this possible?"
"Does this kid really have such high medical skills?"
"Since Master Gongsun says so, then let him try. I want to see if he's the real deal or just a fraud!"
Seeing Master Gongsun speak, the surrounding people all began to change their opinions.
Old Madam Xiao, seeing this, could only say, "Alright!!"
With Old Madam Xiao's approval, the crowd had nothing more to say and moved aside.
Seeing this, Ye Feng then stepped forward and began to examine Old Master Xiao.
After a while, Ye Feng finished his examination, a relaxed smile appearing on his face.
Master Gongsun, standing nearby, asked, "Kid, how is it? Are you confident? If not, don't force it!"
However, Ye Feng did not respond to him. Instead, he picked up a pen from the table beside the sickbed and quickly scribbled down some medicinal herbs on a piece of paper.
When Ye Feng turned around and saw Master Gongsun looking at him, he immediately handed over the paper and said, "Since you have nothing to do, help me out! Go and get these herbs!"
Everyone present was stunned upon hearing this.
Ye Feng was actually asking Master Gongsun to assist him?
This was simply too arrogant, too presumptuous!
It was rumored that Master Gongsun was proud and eccentric. They could even imagine Master Gongsun's enraged expression.
However, Master Gongsun took the paper from Ye Feng, and after glancing at the herbs listed, a surprising scene unfolded.
His eyes widened, his mouth agape, almost large enough to fit a duck egg.
After a moment, Master Gongsun slapped his thigh and exclaimed excitedly, "How did I not think of this? Brilliant, truly brilliant!"
With that, Master Gongsun excitedly ran off to fetch the herbs, looking like an eager young herb collector, completely devoid of the demeanor of a master physician.
As for Ye Feng, he looked at the people present, his gaze finally settling on the physician next to Xiao Yueru.
This physician was named Feng Jian. He had displayed good medical skills earlier and also knew acupuncture.
"Physician Feng, could I borrow the silver needles you just used?" Ye Feng stepped forward and asked directly.
"You know acupuncture?" Feng Jian asked, somewhat surprised.
Ye Feng replied indifferently, "I know a little!"
"Alright!"
Feng Jian didn't say much more and directly handed his set of silver needles to Ye Feng, then watched him curiously.
Ye Feng took the silver needles and then said, "Ladies present, please step aside!"
The women present all looked confused.
Although Old Madam Xiao was also puzzled, she still instructed, "Everyone step aside, don't you understand?"
Seeing Old Madam Xiao's stern command, the women present had no choice but to go to the living room on the third floor and wait.
After they left, Ye Feng looked at Old Master Xiao and said, "Old Master Xiao, please forgive me..."
