Chapter 297 An Insincere Attitude
Doctor Song’s expression was bleak. He sighed and shook his head.
Alliance Leader Long erupted in anger, "You scoundrel Mu Haifeng, you actually brought a quack to treat my daughter! If anything happens to my daughter, your Wanyang Martial Arts School will be shut down!"
Mu Haifeng’s face was uglier than if he had eaten a fly.
He had originally intended to curry favor with Alliance Leader Long, but he never expected things to turn out this way.
"Alliance Leader Long, I truly don’t know what’s going on! This has nothing to do with me. If anyone’s to blame, it’s Doctor Song!" Mu Haifeng shouted, directly shifting the blame.
"Doctor Song was the one you invited. Do you have anything else to say?" Alliance Leader Long said coldly.
Mu Haifeng now wished he could slap himself. If he had known Long Ziyue's illness was so difficult to treat, he wouldn’t have tried to flatter Alliance Leader Long. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have ended up hurting himself by his own actions.
Otherwise, before he could bring down Xuanji Hall, his Wanyang Martial Arts School would have to close its doors.
"Quickly find a way to cure my daughter, or I’ll make you pay dearly!"
Alliance Leader Long’s face was grim, and a powerful aura emanated from him, making it difficult to breathe.
Mu Haifeng shivered and gnashed his teeth at Doctor Song, "Doctor Song, quickly think of a solution, or we’ll all be finished!"
Doctor Song’s expression shifted. He gritted his teeth and said, "There’s only one method left for us now."
"What method?" Mu Haifeng’s heart rejoiced.
He suddenly turned his head to look, and his expression stiffened in the next moment.
He saw Doctor Song turn and walk in front of Chen Xuan, speaking with difficulty, "As you said, the cold energy within Miss Long is indeed endless. You must have a way to cure it, right?"
Mu Haifeng quickly reacted and angrily said, "Doctor Song, what are you looking for him for? He’s just a swindler, how could he possibly know medicine?"
Doctor Song couldn't help but say, "Miss Long’s condition is exactly what this gentleman described. He might have a solution."
Although he was unwilling to admit Chen Xuan's medical skill, all the signs indicated that Chen Xuan's medical skill was superior to his own.
"Ah?"
Mu Haifeng’s eyes widened.
"Mr. Chen, can you really cure my daughter’s illness?" Alliance Leader Long trembled and quickly asked.
Chen Xuan nodded.
"Please, Mr. Chen, lend a hand!" Alliance Leader Long revealed a hint of joy.
Chen Xuan remained silent.
Looking at Chen Xuan’s demeanor, Alliance Leader Long was filled with regret.
If he hadn’t wavered in his trust of Chen Xuan and had let Long Ziyue have her way, his precious daughter wouldn’t have reached such a desperate state.
From now on, he would never dare to doubt Chen Xuan again!
"Mr. Chen, whatever your request, please state it!" Alliance Leader Long said very sincerely.
"Mr. Chen, please, save my sister." Long Ziming pleaded.
"The request is very simple. Let Pavilion Master Mu beg me!" Chen Xuan’s gaze shifted to Mu Haifeng, and he said lightly.
Upon hearing this, Mu Haifeng instantly became furious, "Chen Xuan, don’t go too far! I, Mu Haifeng, am the Pavilion Master of Wanyang Martial Arts School, a magnate in the Jiangzhou martial arts world. Although you, Chen Xuan, have some fame now, you are still a rising star. What right do you have to make me beg you?"
"Chen Xuan, don’t forget, my Wanyang Martial Arts School is still the number one martial arts school in Jiangzhou. Your Xuanji Hall is merely a newly established force. Don’t force me to suppress Xuanji Hall with all my might!"
Mu Haifeng’s words carried a hint of threat.
"Are you begging or not?" Chen Xuan stared at Mu Haifeng, his voice icy.
If he hadn’t known that Wanyang Martial Arts School was backed by the Su family in the capital, he would have thought there was room for compromise between the two sides. Since Wanyang Martial Arts School was backed by the Su family, it meant that the two sides were irreconcilable, and he saw no need to leave Mu Haifeng any room.
Chen Xuan’s assertiveness surprised Mu Haifeng greatly.
He was preparing to threaten Chen Xuan, but Alliance Leader Long spoke with imposing dignity, "Mu Haifeng, your Wanyang Martial Arts School still has numerous shortcomings in fire safety and epidemic prevention. Tomorrow, I will specially establish a team to conduct a joint inspection of your Wanyang Martial Arts School. You should be prepared in advance."
Mu Haifeng was tongue-tied, his face ashen.
Wanyang Martial Arts School was quite formal, but if someone wanted to find fault, they could find a hundred faults even if there was only one minor issue.
This was also why even the largest powers showed some reverence towards the Martial Alliance.
"Pavilion Master Mu, have you considered it?" Alliance Leader Long asked.
"I… I am willing…"
Finally, Pavilion Master Mu nodded in agreement with great difficulty.
"Mr. Chen, please, treat Miss Long!"
Pavilion Master Mu’s voice was as faint as a mosquito’s hum.
"What did you say? I didn't hear you? And your attitude doesn't seem very sincere," Chen Xuan said, deliberately digging in his ear.
Mu Haifeng’s eyes were almost spitting fire, but he suppressed the anger in his chest, simply closed his eyes, and shouted, "Mr. Chen, I was blind and foolish. Please, hurry and treat Miss Long!"
"That’s more like it," Chen Xuan nodded with satisfaction.
Mu Haifeng looked at Chen Xuan’s smug expression, wishing he could flay Chen Xuan, eat his flesh, drink his blood, and tear him to pieces…
"Mr. Chen, Pavilion Master Mu has also begged you. Please, hurry and treat Little Yue," Alliance Leader Long urged.
Chen Xuan nodded, turned, and walked before Long Ziyue.
"Kid, can you really cure my illness?" Long Ziyue looked at Chen Xuan with a hint of doubt.
"Of course, but you’ll have to cooperate with me," Chen Xuan said with a strange expression.
"Tell me, as long as you can cure my illness, I will cooperate with you," Long Ziyue took a breath and whispered, lowering her head.
"That’s good." Chen Xuan smiled, looking at Long Ziyue, who was now docile after being arrogant and willful.
But for some reason, Long Ziyue saw a strange glint in Chen Xuan’s smile.
She thought to herself, this is the Long family’s residence, what tricks could this fellow possibly pull?
Unexpectedly, in the next moment, Chen Xuan picked her up and threw her onto the sofa.
She lay on the sofa, covering the back of the couch with her hands, and cried out in terror, "Chen Xuan, what are you doing?!"
*Slap!*
A slap landed on Long Ziyue’s backside.
"You scoundrel, you actually hit me!"
*Slap!*
Before she could finish speaking, another slap landed on Long Ziyue’s backside.
"Chen Xuan, you’re clearly getting revenge on me! You scoundrel!"
In front of everyone, with her father and brother present, being spanked on the backside by a strange man, Long Ziyue thought of her embarrassing state, her face flushing red from her neck all the way to her ears, as she cried and wailed, her tears streaming down her face.
But Chen Xuan was unmoved, continuing to slap Long Ziyue’s backside one after another.
Everyone present was stunned by Chen Xuan’s astonishing actions!
"Chen Xuan, if you dare to touch me again, I will have someone kill you!" Long Ziyue shrieked.
Chen Xuan yelled, "If you don't want to be paralyzed for the rest of your life, then shut your mouth obediently!"
Long Ziyue felt as if something was stuck in her throat.
She was convinced that Chen Xuan was retaliating against her, but she didn’t dare to move, because it seemed only Chen Xuan could cure her illness.
She was still young, and there were still a room full of beautiful jewelry and clothes waiting for her to wear. If she were paralyzed, all those good things would be useless.
Two minutes later, Chen Xuan withdrew his hand and slowly exhaled.
"Chen Xuan, I will definitely kill you!" Long Ziyue turned to look at Chen Xuan, her flushed face filled with murderous intent.
With that, Long Ziyue scrambled up from the sofa, grabbed an ancient saber hanging on the wall, and swung it towards Chen Xuan.
But Chen Xuan stood there motionless.
"Why isn't this guy running? Is he scared stupid?" Long Ziyue looked at Chen Xuan, who stood there like a block of wood, feeling a bit suspicious.
However, her anger soon washed away that sliver of doubt.
This guy had humiliated her, and he deserved to die!
She raised the saber and swung it at Chen Xuan.
This all happened in a flash; no one had time to intervene.
The saber fell!
"Are you trying to repay kindness with enmity?"
Chen Xuan smiled faintly, his gaze fixed directly on Long Ziyue.
In an instant, the saber stopped three centimeters from Chen Xuan’s forehead.
"What do you mean?"
Long Ziyue raised an eyebrow.
This guy was definitely trying to show off. What nonsense about repaying kindness with enmity? You’ve already disgraced me!
Long Ziyue’s hand, which was gripping the saber, tightened slightly. Just as she was about to make a move, she suddenly realized something, and a look of astonishment appeared on her pretty face, "You…"
