Chapter 498 Trouble Comes Again
Lu Lao took a breath and said slowly, "I heard that Elder Huang went to the South Sea to study, and his medical skills have improved again. I met him at the Kyoto Medical Conference and we had some medical exchanges. I have to admit I am not as good as him."
As he spoke these words, a sense of helplessness still flickered across Elder Lu's face.
"Ah?"
Lu Jian looked at Elder Lu's dejected appearance and was greatly shocked.
In the past, Elder Lu had challenged Elder Huang many times, winning fewer and losing more, but his grandfather had never admitted defeat.
Yet, now his grandfather had personally admitted that Elder Huang was more skilled than him. This was simply unbelievable!
His trip to Kyoto must have been a tremendous blow to his grandfather.
Under everyone's gaze, Elder Lu shook his head, his expression downcast.
"Elder Lu, you don't need to be so self-deprecating. If I teach you medicine, I think there's a great chance you can defeat that Elder Huang."
At this moment, a loud voice rang out.
Everyone suddenly turned their attention to Chen Xuan.
Hearing this, Elder Lu's eyes suddenly lit up with a brilliant gleam.
He looked at Chen Xuan with a trembling voice, "Mr. Chen, you are truly willing to teach me?"
"That is natural."
Chen Xuan smiled.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen, no, Teacher Chen! I am willing to become your disciple."
Elder Lu was so excited that his legs went weak, and he was about to kneel before Chen Xuan.
As the saying goes, the one who has reached the Way is the teacher. Elder Lu felt nothing wrong with this.
The people around watched this scene, their hearts trembling.
Chen Xuan was only in his early twenties, while Elder Lu was in his fifties or sixties. This generational gap made them feel it was unbelievable.
Chen Xuan smiled, "Elder Lu, there's no need for this. We are both members of the Medicine King's Mansion. Teaching medicine is a normal thing."
Elder Lu felt Chen Xuan's words made sense and slowly stood up, "Then I will trouble Mr. Chen."
"Um, can I also sit in and listen?" Lu Jian's heart was itching.
Elder Lu was displeased upon hearing this and chided, "Go away. If you have nothing else to do, study the basic knowledge more and don't trouble Mr. Chen here."
Of course, Elder Lu secretly wished his grandson Lu Jian could also listen in, but he was worried about troubling Chen Xuan.
"Grandfather..." Lu Jian's face darkened.
"Never mind, you two can listen together. Anyway, it's the same effort to herd one sheep as a flock," Chen Xuan waved his hand.
Although Chen Xuan likened them to livestock, Elder Lu and Lu Jian were very happy. After all, being able to learn profound medical skills was more important than anything else.
Just as Chen Xuan was being pulled by Elder Lu to inquire about medical knowledge, with a bang, the door of Renxin Medical Hall was kicked open!
A gust of cold wind instantly blew in from outside.
A chilling coldness shot from the spine to the crown of the head, making everyone tremble.
Everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look.
A group of people charged in aggressively.
With fierce expressions and distorted faces, they terrified the people in Renxin Medical Hall, making them retreat repeatedly.
Leading the group was Young Master Gao, and behind him followed a middle-aged man in his thirties wearing a tight-fitting suit. His face was somber, and his eyes were sharp as a falcon's. His imposing aura made people's hearts tremble.
These two men were dressed differently. One wore a white tight-fitting suit. Although only in his thirties, his hair was snow-white, and his eyebrows were also white.
The other, dressed in a black tight-fitting suit, had a square face and thin, long eyebrows.
The one in the white tight-fitting suit was Gao Baihe, a third-grade Internal Strength Grandmaster.
The other, dressed in the black tight-fitting suit, was Gao Xiaofeng, a second-grade Internal Strength Grandmaster.
"It seems this fellow is still unwilling to let it go."
Chen Xuan squinted his eyes, looking at the leading Young Master Gao, then at Gao Xiaofeng and Gao Baihe, and said lightly, "Two Internal Strength Grandmasters, you've really gone to great lengths."
These were Internal Strength Grandmasters! One Internal Strength Grandmaster was enough to walk sideways in Jiangzhou!
The two seemed to sense Chen Xuan's gaze and frowned.
Upon seeing Young Master Gao, Elder Lu also showed some apprehension.
"Grandfather, what should we do? It looks like Young Master Gao is here to cause trouble again. Why don't we report them to the authorities?"
Lu Jian, sensing that the situation was not right, nervously tugged at Elder Lu's arm.
Yesterday, Renxin Medical Hall was almost sealed off, and the instigator was precisely Young Master Gao.
Now Young Master Gao was back, and the two people behind him were likely two super bodyguards. The situation was clearly getting out of control.
Elder Lu smiled wryly and shook his head.
What use was reporting them to the authorities?
He gestured for Lu Jian to remain silent, leaving the rest to him.
Elder Lu took a breath and stepped forward, smiling amiably, "Young Master Gao, what brings you here? Please, have a seat!"
"Hurry up and make tea! You really have no sense," he said, turning to Lu Jian.
"I'll do it right away," Lu Jian also said busily.
Young Master Gao glanced at Elder Lu and snorted, "No need. I'm here to settle accounts."
Elder Lu's expression stiffened. His mind raced, and he gritted his teeth, "Young Master Gao, we shouldn't have accepted that ten million. We'll return it to you now. Additionally, this is two million, a token of respect from Renxin Medical Hall to you."
Lu Jian hurriedly brought two checks and placed them in front of Young Master Gao.
Besides the ten million check for Young Master Gao, there was another check for two million.
"Does I, Young Master Gao, lack ten million?" Young Master Gao sneered at the checks.
Elder Lu's heart sank instantly.
He knew that this matter today would likely not end well.
"Yes, our Young Master Gao is not someone who lacks money," Chen Xuan said with a slight smile.
Young Master Gao's gaze fell on Chen Xuan, his eyes almost spitting fire.
"Keep being arrogant. Today, I've invited super experts from the Gao family. No matter how skilled you are, you'll be finished today!"
"Besides, you even stole something from our Gao family!"
Elder Lu was stunned and looked at Chen Xuan in surprise. He didn't expect Chen Xuan to still dare to provoke Young Master Gao, which was akin to adding fuel to the fire.
Chen Xuan was still too young and impulsive!
He quickly said apologetically, "Young Master Gao, I also have some connections with the Fifth Master of the Gao family. I wonder if, for my sake, this matter can be overlooked."
"Fifth Master Gao? You know my uncle?"
Young Master Gao squinted his eyes and frowned at Elder Lu.
"My third uncle had a knife wound some time ago, and it was I who treated Fifth Master." Elder Lu smiled.
Lu Jian showed a glimmer of hope, surprised that Elder Lu had treated the Fifth Master of the Gao family.
He looked at Chen Xuan and whispered, "Mr. Chen, don't worry, everything will be alright. With this connection, Young Master Gao will have to give some face."
Chen Xuan, however, secretly shook his head.
This matter was not so easily resolved.
"Did my third uncle give you a consultation fee?" Young Master Gao coldly sneered.
Elder Lu thought Young Master Gao was being gracious and blurted out, "Fifth Master was very generous and gave me fifty thousand as a consultation fee."
Young Master Gao snorted, "Then that's that. You are a doctor, and my uncle was ill. Your uncle also gave you money, so what kind of connection is there?"
Elder Lu's face turned ashen.
He knew Young Master Gao was not giving him any face.
Young Master Gao's gaze held a hint of contempt, "Furthermore, in my opinion, being able to treat my uncle was your honor. You old fellow, trying to leverage this favor, are not a good person either!"
Elder Lu was so old, and now he was being humiliated by a junior like this. He was filled with shame and anger. Lu Jian's face also turned ugly, and he clenched his teeth tightly.
"Chen Xuan, this time, we should settle our accounts properly."
Young Master Gao stared at Chen Xuan, his sinister gaze filled with the amusement of a cat playing with a mouse.
Chen Xuan stroked his chin, "Just you? Do you want to offer medical fees to our Renxin Medical Hall?"
Young Master Gao's face instantly turned cold, and he was furious.
Last time, he was defeated by Chen Xuan and was extorted for ten million in medical fees. Now, Chen Xuan bringing up the past was undoubtedly slapping him in the face.
However, the situation was different now; he had the experts sent by the Gao family behind him!
He glanced at the two behind him, pointed at Chen Xuan, and said with a sinister smile, "You two, this is the one who stole our Gao family's belongings. Take him down for me first!"
