Chapter 231 This World Is So Small
Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows, displeased.
How could the Medicine King's Mansion believe Li Hongyan's words?
Seeing that Chen Xuan remained silent, Li Hongyan sneered, "Chen Xuan, aren't you afraid? If you're scared, get out of the Medicine King's Mansion quickly!"
"What is there to fear!"
Chen Xuan's voice was sonorous and confident.
That was a half-sage medicinal pill, extremely precious. Once this opportunity was lost, it would be gone forever. He wouldn't let it slip away for nothing, especially considering how long Su Qian could hold on with his meager spiritual medicine under the curse of the Ten Halls of Yama, he had no idea.
When it came to life-prolonging medicinal ingredients, the more the better!
As soon as he said this, Li Jiajia cheered even more. She felt that Chen Xuan wouldn't be able to pass the test.
As long as Chen Xuan couldn't become an elder of the Medicine King's Mansion, it would be as simple as her saying a word to deal with Chen Xuan, wouldn't it?
Li Hongyan was also pleased.
She took a step forward and cupped her hands towards the Grand Elder. "Grand Elder, according to the rules of the Medicine King's Mansion, anyone who wishes to become an elder must be recommended by an elder of the Medicine King's Mansion, or be tested by an elder of the Medicine Valley. I happen to have a patient on hand who can serve as a test subject."
"Alright!" The Grand Elder nodded.
Doctor Lu, thinking of something, quickly said, "Grand Elder, this is not advisable!"
"Elder Lu, according to the rules, you cannot set the test as the recommender," the Grand Elder frowned.
"Grand Elder, that's not what I mean. It's just that Elder Li and Mr. Chen have a conflict, and he will definitely make things difficult for Mr. Chen deliberately," Doctor Lu said unwillingly.
Although Chen Xuan's methods were extraordinary, even the most skilled doctor had illnesses they couldn't cure. What if Li Hongyan deliberately found a patient with a terminal illness?
At this moment, an elder in his forties with a handsome face stepped out and sneered, "It should be alright for me to set the question, right?"
Doctor Lu's brow furrowed upon seeing this elder. "Elder Liu, your relationship with Elder Li Hongyan is unclear. Who doesn't know you sleep in the same bed? What right do you have to set the question?"
The other elders couldn't help but chuckle at these words.
"Lu Chengfu, you're looking for death!"
The elder Liu was furious upon hearing this and slammed his palm on the table.
He had always been very close to Li Hongyan, and the news had spread far and wide. Many people knew that the two often met in secret, and some had even taken photos of them hugging. If the two were not married, it would be fine, but Elder Liu was already married.
However, everyone had refrained from exposing it out of consideration for their feelings, as it was a private matter. But they never expected Lu Chengfu to expose it in public.
Li Hongyan's face instantly turned grim, not expecting Lu Chengfu to expose their shortcomings.
Doctor Lu said coldly, "Whether I'm looking for death or not, it's probably not for you to say, is it?"
Just as the two sides were about to clash, Chen Xuan said indifferently, "Doctor Lu, there's no need to be so angry. It doesn't matter who sets the question. I haven't encountered a disease I can't cure yet!"
Doctor Lu was sweating profusely in anxiety.
Did any of these elders not have a few difficult and complicated cases under their belt? Many diseases even they couldn't figure out the cause of. If they wanted to make things difficult for Chen Xuan, any incurable disease would be enough to disqualify him. Even with Chen Xuan's miraculous pills, it might not be useful!
Chen Xuan was still too young!
The Grand Elder also frowned.
Weren't Chen Xuan's words a bit too arrogant?
He felt that Chen Xuan was bragging. Chen Xuan might have only encountered common illnesses from outside. It was like he was a village doctor who only treated colds and fevers, but if he went to a large hospital to practice, he would encounter some difficult and complex diseases that he couldn't cure.
Chen Xuan's remarks also displeased some of the proud elders of the Medicine King's Mansion.
"Since this Mr. Chen is so confident, then I won't be polite!" Li Hongyan said with a sinister smile.
"Whatever," Chen Xuan smiled faintly.
Li Hongyan looked at the confidence on Chen Xuan's face and let out a cold laugh. She ordered a servant, "Go and invite Mr. Fu Hongbo and Mrs. Xu Yumei, who rushed over from the provincial capital today, and tell them that someone wants to see them."
The servant said "Yes," turned, and left.
A moment later, the servant led a couple in.
Seeing this couple, even the Grand Elder's expression became somewhat strange, and Doctor Lu became even more angry.
It's them?
Chen Xuan frowned upon seeing the couple. This couple was none other than the middle-aged couple he had shared a taxi with to the Medicine King's Mansion.
"Chen Xuan, quickly examine these two," Li Hongyan said, suppressing her laughter.
"Elder Li, Mr. and Mrs. Fu Hongbo have been married for many years and have no children. All of us elders have jointly diagnosed them and could not solve it. You are now using this as a test subject, isn't this making things difficult for people?" Doctor Lu couldn't help but say.
Elder Liu sneered, "Didn't this young brother just boast earlier? Does he want to go back on his word?"
Doctor Lu was about to say something else, but Chen Xuan spoke, "No need. I've already examined this couple's condition earlier, and I can treat it now."
Huh?
Everyone looked at Chen Xuan in surprise. When had Chen Xuan examined this middle-aged couple?
"When did you examine them?" Li Hongyan frowned.
Chen Xuan said faintly, "I don't need to explain it to you."
Li Hongyan was speechless, and after a long while, she gritted her teeth and said, "Hmph, utter nonsense."
At this moment, Chen Xuan walked up to the middle-aged couple and said with a playful smile, "Hello, we meet again? However, I am now your attending physician."
"It... you... you you?"
Fu Hongbo and Xu Yumei looked up and saw Chen Xuan, and were instantly stunned.
They never expected the world to be so small that Chen Xuan would become their attending physician!
"I don't need you to treat me!"
Xu Yumei immediately shook her head like a rattle drum.
They had offended Chen Xuan earlier. Now, if they let Chen Xuan treat them, who knew if Chen Xuan would cause trouble for them?
Fu Hongbo had the same thought. He said to the Grand Elder, "Grand Elder, I don't want this guy to treat us. I'm afraid he'll poison us!"
"Heh heh, if you can't even gain the trust of a patient, what qualification does Chen Xuan have to be an elder of the Medicine King's Mansion? I ask the Grand Elder to see clearly," Li Hongyao said with a cold smile.
"You really don't need him to treat you?" The Grand Elder looked at the couple and asked.
"Yes!"
"No need!"
Fu Hongbo and Xu Yumei nodded their heads like pounding garlic.
The Grand Elder also had some thoughts about Chen Xuan. Before he could speak, Chen Xuan frowned and said, "You really don't want me to treat you? If they can't cure your illness, and you don't let me treat you, then you probably won't be able to enjoy the joy of grandchildren in your later years."
"Hmph! Who knows if what you're saying is true or false," Xu Yumei said with a curl of her lips.
Fu Hongbo and Xu Yumei's expressions changed slightly.
The Fu family was also a considerable family. If they had no heirs, they would face great pressure.
Seeing their hesitation, Chen Xuan looked at Xu Yumei and said, "Your period comes three times a month, lasts for four days each time, with only a three-day interval, and you experience excruciating pain each time. You also have night sweats and cold limbs while sleeping. Am I correct?"
"You...?" Xu Yumei's mouth suddenly opened wide, and then her face turned red.
Chen Xuan turned and looked at Fu Hongbo. "You ejaculate within two minutes every time you have intercourse, often gasping for breath, feeling weak all over, and lacking energy. Am I right?"
"You... how do you know?"
Fu Hongbo's expression changed drastically. He had never told anyone about such private matters, let alone that he and Chen Xuan were not close at all. How could Chen Xuan know?
