Chapter 227 It's Him
The taxi driver showed a hint of surprise but remained composed, chuckling playfully. "You're here to seek medical treatment and medicine from the Medicine King's Mansion, aren't you? I advise you to persuade this young man to pay up obediently. I'm very familiar with the people at the Medicine King's Mansion, otherwise, you won't even be able to enter their gate."
"We don't know them, what does it have to do with us," the noblewoman immediately replied.
"Then I don't care. It's thirty thousand for the ride, not a penny less," the taxi driver said with a smile.
The noblewoman pointed at Chen Xuan's nose and said, "Hey, if you can't even afford this little bit of money, don't come to the Medicine King's Mansion. The registration fee alone is tens of thousands, and any prescription will start at a hundred thousand."
Chen Xuan secretly clicked his tongue, marveling at how much the Medicine King's Mansion could extort. He then said, "I'm not here for medical treatment or medicine."
The middle-aged man's expression darkened. They were here to seek medical treatment, wouldn't this implicate them?
The noblewoman, enraged, began to curse loudly, "You poor bastard with no money, what are you causing trouble for here! If you're not seeing a doctor, we are. If you implicate us, you'll be in big trouble!"
Chen Xuan remained unfazed, narrowing his eyes. He turned his head and sneered at the taxi driver, "You guys deliberately threw those steel nails on the road, didn't you?"
The taxi driver's expression shifted slightly.
Chen Xuan was right. They had indeed deliberately thrown the steel nails on the road to rip people off.
Since the Medicine King's Mansion was established here, its reputation had grown immensely. Many wealthy individuals came here for treatment and medicine, prompting the locals to hatch schemes. In just a few years, many had bought villas and luxury cars, achieving their goals of rising from rags to riches.
However, when he thought of Chen Xuan being an outsider and that this was their territory, he felt emboldened and said dismissively, "So what? Are you planning to make a move?"
The noblewoman and the middle-aged man gritted their teeth but could only endure it.
Then, Chen Xuan raised his hand and slapped the taxi driver directly across the face.
The middle-aged couple's expressions changed drastically.
They never expected Chen Xuan to actually dare to act. Was this guy crazy? Wouldn't his actions implicate them?
The slap sent the taxi driver spinning, stars dancing before his eyes.
He clutched his face, glaring at Chen Xuan, "You actually dared to lay a hand on me?"
"Not only did I dare to use my hand, I dare to use my foot!"
Chen Xuan lifted his leg and kicked the taxi driver directly in the stomach.
The taxi driver flew back three meters, kneeling on the ground, clutching his stomach with both hands, his face contorted in pain.
He looked up at Chen Xuan, his eyes filled with venom, and gritted his teeth, "Good, good, you just wait!"
He then turned to the middle-aged couple and said, "You won't even get through the door of the Medicine King's Mansion today. Blame this guy!"
With that, the taxi driver quickly walked into the Medicine King's Mansion.
The middle-aged couple tentatively approached the Medicine King's Mansion, but were stopped at the entrance.
The middle-aged couple turned their heads and glared fiercely at Chen Xuan, as if they wanted to devour him alive, "It's all your fault! If we can't get treatment, I'm not done with you!"
The couple, nearing forty, had no children. They had finally learned that the Medicine King's Mansion had a divine doctor who could treat them, and this was their second visit. Now, it all seemed to be falling apart because of Chen Xuan.
Just then, the taxi driver returned with a young man dressed in black tight-fitting clothes.
"Cousin, this is the guy who hit me earlier," the taxi driver said, pointing at Chen Xuan, a slight pain still evident at the corner of his mouth, his voice laced with malice.
The young man in black tight-fitting clothes looked at Chen Xuan, "Kid, did you hit my cousin?"
This young man in black tight-fitting clothes was named Liao Yong, the taxi driver's cousin. He was not only a guard at the Medicine King's Mansion but also a master of inner strength.
Seeing this, the middle-aged couple quickly shook their heads, afraid of being implicated, "It has nothing to do with us!"
"I hit him," Chen Xuan said calmly.
"You have some backbone," the noblewoman said, glancing at Chen Xuan with disgust.
"Then you should pay the price you deserve."
Liao Yong's expression turned cold, and he threw a punch at Chen Xuan.
The punch surged with energy, whistling through the air.
Chen Xuan flicked his hand, and Liao Yong was sent flying back as if he had collided with a truck, landing heavily on the ground.
The entire place fell silent!
The taxi driver's expression was stiff.
His cousin was a guard at the Medicine King's Mansion, a master of inner strength, and he was defeated just like that?
Liao Yong slowly got up from the ground, his gaze fiercely fixed on Chen Xuan, roaring in anger, "You dared to hit me, you damn bastard! Do you know I'm a guard at the Medicine King's Mansion? By hitting me, you've offended the Medicine King's Mansion."
"Now, I declare, you're finished! You are completely finished!"
"Cousin, you must find a way to kill him!" the taxi driver added fuel to the fire.
Liao Yong wished he could kill Chen Xuan, but he thought of something and took a deep breath, "No, an important figure will be joining the Medicine King's Mansion later, and the higher-ups are paying close attention."
He turned to Chen Xuan, "You're lucky, kid. An important person is joining the Medicine King's Mansion today, otherwise, you'd be dead."
Chen Xuan ignored Liao Yong's threat and asked calmly, "You're a guard at the Medicine King's Mansion? Elder Lu, is he in? Ask him to come out and pick me up."
Liao Yong blinked, then looked Chen Xuan up and down, "Elder Lu is an elder of our Medicine King's Mansion, and you, a poor nobody, think you can know him? Besides, what makes you worthy of Elder Lu picking you up?"
"Making such a racket, what kind of decorum is this!"
Just then, a voice filled with authority suddenly rang out.
An elder in Medicine King's Mansion attire emerged from the mansion.
Liao Yong turned his head, his expression immediately changing slightly, and he said respectfully, "Greetings, Elder Lu!"
Every elder of the Medicine King's Mansion held considerable power. Although he was a master of inner strength, his status was far below that of the elder.
"What's going on?" Elder Lu asked with a frown.
"Elder Lu, it's just a minor conflict. As you know, there are always people trying to sneak into the Medicine King's Mansion," Liao Yong said with a wry smile.
Elder Lu also knew about such situations, "Ensure the guard duty at the Medicine King's Mansion is handled properly."
"Yes!" Liao Yong said solemnly.
Elder Lu inquired, "An elder is joining the Medicine King's Mansion today. Has he arrived yet?"
"I haven't seen anyone, he should not have arrived yet."
Liao Yong's mind suddenly raced, a sinister thought flashing through his mind, "Elder Lu, the elder you recommended hasn't arrived, but there was a guy in street clothes earlier who claimed he wanted you to pick him up."
"Oh?"
Elder Lu's heart stirred, and he hurried, "Where is he?"
Seeing Elder Lu's expression change, Liao Yong felt a surge of delight, "It's him!"
Elder Lu abruptly turned his head, and upon seeing Chen Xuan's face, his expression instantly became one of excitement!
Elder Lu was about to step forward to greet him, but Liao Yong, staring at Chen Xuan, sneered, "Elder Lu, he dared to ask Elder Lu to pick him up? I think you've got a death wish. I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of Elder Lu, you fellow who doesn't know his place!"
With that, Liao Yong sharply raised his hand and slapped towards Chen Xuan.
