Luo Shu was shamelessly insane.
Even Sun Buzhou himself couldn't stand it. While he was also covetous of the Nine Dragon Coffin, he wasn't as shameless as Luo Shu.
Sun Buzhou reprimanded, "Luo Shu, stop talking nonsense. You're not young anymore, don't speak carelessly. Just say whatever comes to your mind!"
Luo Shu pouted, looking quite unconvinced.
Although he was over forty, he had been by Sun Buzhou's side since childhood.
He lacked the ability to live independently, so he still acted like a child in his speech and actions.
Especially since Sun Buzhou held a noble status and was respected everywhere, it made Luo Shu, who was always by his side, feel superior.
Over time, Luo Shu's arrogant and self-willed personality developed.
By the time Sun Buzhou discovered the problem, Luo Shu was too old to change.
Chen Xiao had once again performed a miracle, and Qi Qingfei also held her head high, saying with no small amount of pride, "Uncle Sun, you've seen it now, haven't you? I wasn't bragging. Mr. Chen is truly a formidable divine doctor!"
"Heh heh, I never expected the legendary Nine Dragon Coffin to actually exist, and to be as miraculous as the legends say!"
Sun Buzhou chuckled softly, showering the Nine Dragon Coffin with praise, but he offered no comment on Yang Zhen's medical skills.
Luo Shu said disdainfully, "Miss Qi, didn't you hear what I just said? In fact, this kid's medical skills are not as great as you say. The reason he could detoxify your father was all thanks to the Nine Dragon Coffin. It has nothing to do with him personally!"
Qi Qingfei snorted angrily, "Can you shut up? Don't you know how annoying you are?"
Luo Shu was stunned. In all his years, almost everyone spoke to him in a gentle and respectful tone.
Qi Qingfei's direct reprimand and calling him annoying made him start to doubt his life.
However, Chen Xiao and Qi Qingfei soon understood the origin of Luo Shu's personality.
It was because his master, Sun Buzhou, was truly protective of his own!
After Qi Qingfei rebuked Luo Shu, Sun Buzhou immediately defended his disciple.
"Niece Qingfei, although your senior brother Luo's words are unpleasant, they are not without reason. So, please don't blame him."
Hearing this, Chen Xiao became unhappy. He said unceremoniously, "Old man, you've repeatedly belittled me. I've been lenient with you because of your age, but you keep pushing it, don't you? Do you really think your medical skills are the best in the world?"
"Kid, how dare you speak to me like that?" Luo Shu snapped.
Chen Xiao didn't hold back either, retorting, "You shut the hell up. I'm talking to your master, who are you to interrupt? You ill-mannered creature!"
As it turned out, Luo Shu was a bully who picked on the weak. When Chen Xiao confronted him, he was scared into silence.
Sun Buzhou clearly hadn't expected Chen Xiao to dare provoke him like this, and his impression of Chen Xiao worsened.
In his opinion, although this young man had some luck, his personal conduct was abysmal, and he was completely unfit to be a doctor.
"Kid, I don't dare say my medical skills are the best in the world, but compared to you, I'm still a hundred thousand miles ahead!"
Chen Xiao sneered, "A hundred thousand miles ahead of me? Then prove it to me!"
Sun Buzhou flicked his sleeve and snorted angrily, "Hmph, how am I supposed to prove something like this? Besides, why should I prove anything to you?"
Chen Xiao spread his hands, "If you can't prove it to me, it means you're a coward. And you don't need to prove anything else; just wake up Qi Tianhu, and I'll admit you're capable!"
Chen Xiao had picked up the phrase "admit you're capable."
Sun Buzhou snorted dismissively, "Hmph, absurd. You think too little of me! The potent poison in Brother Qi's body has already been neutralized. Even without my intervention, he will wake up when the time comes. If I were to speed up his recovery, I have at least a hundred methods!"
Chen Xiao said playfully, "Don't just talk the talk, walk the walk. Since you say it's so simple, then try it!"
"I'll try it, but kid, you must remember that I'm not doing this to prove I'm better than you, because you're not worthy of me doing so!"
"Luo Shu, get me the silver needles."
Sun Buzhou extended his hand, and Luo Shu obediently retrieved the silver needles and respectfully handed them to Sun Buzhou.
With the silver needles in hand, Sun Buzhou's aura instantly erupted, and even his demeanor changed completely.
Chen Xiao inwardly thought, as expected of a master physician, he indeed had some skill.
However, if he thought waking up Qi Tianhu would be easy, he was gravely mistaken.
As Chen Xiao predicted, after Sun Buzhou tried more than ten methods, Qi Tianhu remained unconscious.
Sun Buzhou's brow furrowed, and he was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"This is wrong. Brother Qi's poison has clearly been neutralized, and his vital signs are close to normal. He should have woken up soon, but why isn't he waking up?"
Sun Buzhou was perplexed and suddenly glared angrily at Chen Xiao, "Kid, did you do something?"
"I did something?"
Chen Xiao sneered, "I was about to ask if you did something?"
Sun Buzhou was taken aback, "What do you mean by that?"
Chen Xiao said calmly,
"Since I last examined Qi Tianhu, he had three months left before the poison would take effect. But after you arrived, he prematurely succumbed to the poison, two months ahead of schedule. It's hard for me not to suspect you're involved in this?"
Sun Buzhou was furious, "Absurd! Do you know my relationship with Qi Tianhu? Would I harm him? Moreover, the poison he ingested is Refined Heart Dragon's Saliva. I have no idea how to make such a potent poison act prematurely!"
Chen Xiao was slightly taken aback and stared into Sun Buzhou's eyes, asking, "You really don't know?"
Sun Buzhou seemed deeply offended and said passionately, "I, Sun Buzhou, am upright and honorable. If I say I don't know, then I don't know. What do you mean, you brat?"
Chen Xiao shook his head, "It seems you really don't know."
Then, his gaze turned cold, and he suddenly looked at Luo Shu.
"Since he doesn't know, then you must know, right?"
As Chen Xiao's gaze fell upon him, Luo Shu involuntarily shivered.
"You, you, what are you talking about? I, what do I know? I, I have no idea what you're talking about!"
Luo Shu retorted agitatedly.
But for some reason, his speech suddenly became stammering.
Chen Xiao looked at Luo Shu, then at Sun Buzhou.
"Since neither of you knows, then I'll force it out and let it find the real culprit for me!"
