700 Poisonous Doctor (2/2)

Shangguan Fei now understood everything. He was firmly on the side of the Dragon King now, so he took a step forward and said, ”So the divine doctor has become a noxious bug. You are really ungrateful, asking my sister to save your life while forcing her to keep it a secret from the Dragon King. Don't you know that my sister… never keeps secrets from the Dragon King?”

Doctor Sun looked at the Dragon King with a rare look of embarrassment. ”It's not that I'm paranoid. You are the Dragon King and a ruler, so I was afraid…”

”You are afraid that I'd be interested in the poison of Waning Moon Hall like Wild Horse.”

Doctor Sun chuckled. That was exactly why he had not wanted to ask the Dragon King for help. ”But Tenth Gongzi repeatedly assured me that you wouldn't force me to do anything, and that you wouldn't be interested in poison.”

”She's wrong. Of course I'm interested in the poison of Waning Moon Hall.”

As soon as this remark was made, Doctor Sun and Shangguan Ru were shocked but Shangguan Fei nodded admiringly.

”When you were with Lotus, you clearly had a chance…” Shangguan Ru blushed.

Gu Shenwei interrupted her brusquely. ”The Waning Moon Hall is good at using poison and so of course I'm interested in their poison. Doctor Sun, you are unwilling to kill but are you willing to save people?”

Doctor Sun let out a long breath. ”No problem. I'm going to regain my lost credit. As long as the people who were poisoned by Waning Moon Hall are not dead, I can heal them.”

Shangguan Fei curled his mouth contemptuously. ”You can't even cure Red Bat. What's there to brag about?”

Doctor Sun's sore point was touched and his face also turned red. ”Different, it's different. The poison in her…”

Red Bat immediately defended him, ”I was actually drugged by the knockout drugs of the Land of Fragrance. The divine doctor hasn't seen them before, but he said that he would figure out a way sooner or later.”

”Of course there's a way.” Doctor Sun proudly smoothed his remaining sparse hair. ”The dao of poison is actually a branch of medicine. The methods used may vary, but the principle is the same. I'm sure that I can think of a way.”

”Congratulations, Red Bat. When you have children and grandchildren, you might have your internal energy back again.” Shangguan Fei had no ill feelings towards Doctor Sun but he had been heavily influenced by Old Man Mu these past days and had developed a habit of finding arguments and hurting others' feelings whenever he could.

The few of them argued back and forth, but Shangguan Ru didn't speak up. She stared at the Dragon King, silently questioning why he had embarrassed her in public.

Not to be outdone, Gu Shenwei stared right back. It might not matter to other people if Shangguan Ru kept a secret from them, but to him, it was a taboo. A small punishment could already be considered a special favor.

The two silently stared at each other.

Tired of explaining his skills to Shangguan Fei, Doctor Sun swung his hand angrily, suddenly walked up to the Dragon King, and reached out to grab his arm.

Gu Shenwei casually waved his hand and knocked Doctor Sun, who was not weak in martial arts, several steps away, nearly knocking down the simple tent in the process.

”You, you…” Astounded, Doctor Sun pointed at the Dragon King and almost forgot to get up.

Shangguan Fei pulled him up. ”Old Sun, you've really have some nerves. Can the Dragon King be touched casually? You are lucky he didn't kill you. Why don't you show your gratitude?”

Doctor Sun was confused for a moment as he did not understand who the strange name 'Old Sun' was referring to.

Gu Shenwei expressed his apology first, ”I was overreacting. Please do not mind, Doctor Sun. And if you feel a chill in your body, do not fight it. Just protect your heart meridian, and it will disappear soon enough.”

Doctor Sun looked at the Dragon King in amazement and forgot all about his own embarrassed appearance. ”It doesn't matter. The Dragon King should remain vigilant. I can't sleep at all at the thought of Waning Moon Hall. In fact, I wanted to feel the pulse of the Dragon King. To tell you the truth, I'm a little surprised that you are still so alive and well.”

The truth was that Gu Shenwei didn't fully trusted Doctor Sun yet, but he still stuck out his left arm. ”Please.”

Doctor Sun tried to put his finger on the Dragon King's wrist and gradually forgot about the threat of the Waning Moon Hall, but his brow quickly furrowed. After a while, he checked the pulse of the Dragon King's right wrist and finally patted the other side's chest several times.

”What the hell? You are using your body as a battlefield, aren't you?” At the mention of his illness, Doctor Sun's old temper returned. ”You used to only have two different internal energy: one yin, and the other yang. But now it's a complete mess. Not only do you practice two completely different internal energy cultivation methods, but you also forcefully combined the two. Besides, you developed an evil Qi in your body and let it rampage in your body.”

”Is it dangerous?” asked Shangguan Ru with concern, forgetting about her discontent for the time being.

”I don't know.” Doctor Sun spread out his hands. ”The Dragon King is here to embarrass me. I clearly remember that the last two times I saw you, your illness was tricky but still within my grasp. But now, I can't make heads or tails of it at all.”

Gu Shenwei didn't care. He hadn't expected Doctor Sun to heal his internal injury in the first place. ”It's good news to be unable to make a judgment,” he said.

Doctor Sun shook his head. ”Do not get excited yet. There's something that I haven't said yet…”

Long Fanyun who had been guarding outside came in, interrupting the divine doctor's 'bad news.' ”Someone's coming.”

Doctor Sun shivered and first looked Shangguan Ru in horror and then turned his eyes to the Dragon King.
