The Talented Doctor - Chapter 52

Chapter 52: Wan Feng Teahouse

In a private room on the second floor of Wan Feng Teahouse, diagonal to Sheng De Pharmacy; two people were sitting opposite each other and had seen everything happening in Sheng De Pharmacy clearly.

When the young man—who was originally on the brink of death—had stood up with the help of the little girl after resting for a while, one of the middle-aged men in the private room stood up instantly.

The tea spilled onto the table and wet his shirt, but he did not notice it at all.

This person was Ouyang Zhixiong, a famous and authoritative general in Country Jin Ling. More importantly, he was also the father of Ouyang Haoxuan who had been diagnosed as a vegetable after his meridians were cut.

“Impossible… impossible! How can this happen?” Ouyang Zhixiong muttered, “Even Physician Nalan swore that it was impossible to treat this illness. How can there be someone who did it?”

Even though he said that, his face was emotional and filled with hope as if he grabbed onto the last saving straw.

The young man sitting opposite Ouyang Zhixiong lowered his gaze and looked at the disappearing figure outside the window as a sinister smile appeared on his lips.

With much anxiety, Ouyang Zhixiong paced back and forth in the room a few times before the servant he sent out had reported back.

“I have confirmed that the young man was originally diagnosed with cut meridians, the same illness as Young Master. However, he has recovered. Even though he could not walk properly yet, Shopkeeper Zhou said that he would recover fully after a week of rest.

“Old Master, please forgive my inability to find the miracle physician. We followed the physician for a while, but after we turned around the corner, we lost the physician.”

Ouyang Zhixiong panicked upon hearing the good and the bad news as he was unable to differentiate his happiness and sadness, just like a headless fly zooming around the room. Once he turned around, he met with the slight smile of the man sitting opposite him. Suddenly, his brain whirred; and he recalled the earlier scene.

When the miracle physician was treating the ill young man, the man in front of him stared below. His face had revealed emotions of surprise, confusion, and interest. These expressions had never appeared on this man’s face before. Perhaps, he could say that this man of high status in Country Jin Ling rarely had such a rollercoaster of emotions.

Perhaps… he knew that young, miracle physician?

When he thought of this, Ouyang Zhixiong leaned onto the table and anxiously asked, “Your Majesty, you know the miracle physician, right?”

The man who was called King of Hades revealed a handsome face that could turn the world upside down. At this point, there was an evil and charming smile on his lips. He slowly said, “I am also very surprised that it is an unexpected acquaintance.”

When Ouyang Zhixiong heard this, he hurriedly asked, “Could I ask Your Majesty to recommend the miracle physician to me? As long as the miracle physician can cure Haoxuan’s illness, the Ouyang family would be willing to pay any price.”

The King of Hades raised his brows and nodded slightly, “General Ouyang, you should go back first. If I have any news, I’ll send someone to inform you. Perhaps, there really is something that she needs from the Ouyang Residence…”

The man spoke with pride and coldness, causing Ouyang Zhixiong to not dare to have a slight bit of disagreement or express the anxiety in his heart. He only nodded repeatedly and left hurriedly with his anxious heart.

The King of Hades who stayed in the teahouse called someone to bring a new tea set up. Watching the empty door, there was a flash of enthusiastic hope in his eyes.
