Chapter 1068 A Piece Bigger Than
The words caused a deathly silence, and everyone stared at the poison master, Li Zhunji, with trembling eyes.
Poison Master Li Zhunji was infamous, killing without blinking, and many broke into cold sweats that instantly streamed down their foreheads.
“How did you know?”
Li Zhunji looked at Chen Xuan with curiosity.
Chen Xuan pointed to the herbs on the ground and said indifferently, “There were obvious poisons on them, and this packet of herbs was packed by you. You must have intended to poison me, but you failed. As for this human-skin mask, it’s something I’ve played with before. A person’s face can’t deceive me.”
Li Zhunji’s eyes widened in realization. He appeared calm, but in reality, he was somewhat angry because his plan had been seen through. If a person’s thoughts were all guessed, what else wouldn’t be exposed to Chen Xuan?
He disliked this feeling of danger intensely, which made him extremely angry.
He wished he could turn Chen Xuan into a white rat and test all his proud poisons on him.
However, he still said calmly, “Very good, very good. You are worth me traveling all the way from Country H.”
“What are you doing here?”
Chen Xuan got straight to the point, though he knew the answer.
“You killed my disciple, and you still ask me what I’m doing? What do you think?” Li Zhunji’s voice turned cold.
Chen Xuan said indifferently, “You should know the situation clearly. We signed a life-and-death agreement, and all consequences are irrelevant.”
“According to the rules, it’s like that. But I, Li Zhunji, don’t want to follow the rules!” a sharp glint suddenly shot out from Li Zhunji’s eyes.
Du Yunsong, standing by, couldn’t stand it any longer and gritted his teeth, “Li Zhunji, don’t mess around. This is Xia Country, this is Jiangnan Province. If you dare to mess around, you definitely won’t be able to leave Xia Country safely!”
Li Zhunji sneered, “Don’t worry, I will follow the rules. It’s very simple. Since my disciple lost to you, I will challenge you personally!”
“Challenge me? How?”
Chen Xuan also frowned.
He had to go back and cast a divination for himself. Was he encountering troublemakers? Why did everyone want to challenge him?
“The rules are simple, just like last time, but we’ll expand the herbs to sixty-four types!” Li Zhunji said confidently.
Chen Xuan knew he couldn’t avoid this contest and prepared to agree.
But at this moment, footsteps sounded from outside.
A group of cameramen, lighting technicians, and crew members holding long and short cameras rushed in.
Everyone was stunned, not knowing what was happening. Chen Xuan was taken aback at first, but he quickly realized what was going on. Besides recalling the video he had just seen, there was another matter.
Chen Xuan also saw a familiar figure in the crowd, it was Physician Fang.
Physician Fang also saw Chen Xuan at this moment and showed a cold smile.
At this time, the female host with big waves walked in and said to Chen Xuan, “Medicine King Chen, I am Qiu Tong, the host of Medical Times. Today, Medical Times interviewed Physician Fang. Physician Fang said he challenged you today but was rejected. Is this true?”
Chen Xuan nodded indifferently, “It is true.”
As soon as he said this, the cameraman immediately gave Chen Xuan a close-up shot, then turned to give Physician Fang a shot. Physician Fang also said cooperatively, “As everyone can see, I wasn’t lying. This guy just doesn’t dare to accept the challenge.”
“Medicine King Chen, are you refusing to compete with Physician Fang because you fear him, or is there a special reason? Can you tell us?”
The female host Qiu Tong immediately asked.
Chen Xuan said indifferently, “If everyone who is not as good as me wants to compete with me, should I agree? Then how can I treat patients and save people? After all, the main duty of a doctor is to treat patients and save people, not to fight. Do you think I’m right?”
These words were beautifully spoken!
Not only did he categorize Physician Fang as inferior to himself, but he also deliberately pointed out the duties of a doctor, undoubtedly belittling Physician Fang severely. Physician Fang, standing beside him, gritted his teeth, thinking this guy was truly sharp-tongued.
Chen Xuan’s rhetorical question also made the female reporter Qiu Tong slightly stunned, showing some difficulty.
Chen Xuan’s words were not unreasonable. The duty of a doctor is to treat patients and save people. However, their program team was preparing to shoot a reality show. If there was no competition, wouldn’t the reality show be canceled?
At this moment, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room began to decrease. The director immediately reminded the host Qiu Tong through her earphones to make sure Chen Xuan accepted the challenge.
Qiu Tong was also very smart and had a sudden inspiration. She quickly said, “Medical competition can also promote the vigorous development of medicine. Don’t you think so?”
Chen Xuan had nothing to refute this statement. It had some truth to it.
Seeing Chen Xuan remain silent, Qiu Tong was relieved and quickly followed up, “Therefore, our Medical Times program team, accompanying Physician Fang, formally challenges you. Do you agree to compete in medical skills with Physician Fang?”
Chen Xuan frowned, “To be honest, I’m quite busy right now. This poison master from Country H also wants to compete with me, so I really don’t have time.”
“Hmm?”
Qiu Tong’s brows furrowed. She couldn’t help but suspect Chen Xuan, thinking that he was clearly afraid to compete but was making excuses, which was ridiculous.
It seemed that Medicine King Chen from Jiangnan Province was a coward.
Medical Times had also planned to invite Chen Xuan as a guest in the next issue. Now, it seemed she had to report to the team not to invite Chen Xuan, because Chen Xuan was not worthy.
“If you’re afraid, just say so. What kind of excuses are you making? A poison master from Country H…”
Physician Fang said dismissively, crossing his arms.
His expression was filled with contempt.
Qiu Tong said in a deep voice, “Medicine King Chen, we are broadcasting live now. Are you sure you don’t want to compete?”
She specifically mentioned the live broadcast to put pressure on Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan didn’t care about so-called fame. Even if he were humiliated in public, he wouldn’t care. Just as he was about to refuse, he had a sudden inspiration and thought of a good idea, smiling, “That’s fine, let’s compete!”
Hearing this, Qiu Tong was immediately relieved. She was also a little excited. This reality show could continue, and she, the host, could also become famous.
“Good for you for being sensible!”
Physician Fang snorted coldly, his eyes filled with contempt, “Then let’s not delay. Let’s compete quickly. Tell me, what shall we compete in? Acupuncture needles? Medical skills? Or pharmacology and medical principles? I’ll accompany you to the end!”
At this moment, Physician Fang was full of confidence.
Qiu Tong looked at Physician Fang’s expression and felt that Physician Fang hadn’t been faking his illness before; he must have been genuinely ill, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so confident.
“Don’t be in a hurry, some things need to be clarified!”
Chen Xuan smiled slightly.
“Trying to play tricks again? I’m telling you, any tricks are useless in front of me!”
Physician Fang said mockingly.
He thought Chen Xuan was up to some new mischief.
Chen Xuan glanced at the poison master Li Zhunji and said, “Since we’re going to compete, let’s compete together. What do you think?”
