Chapter 76 Russell s Viper (1/2)

“Basic-level medicine master?” Hearing Shi Yu’s words, Medicine Master Xiao’s expression changed as he glared at Yang Yunchong sternly and asked, “Third Master Yang, was the young man who just went in really going to treat Chief Yang?”

“Medicine Master Xiao…” Yang Yunchong started awkwardly. After all, putting himself in his shoes, if he were Medicine Master Xiao, he would have been upset too. Finally, he nodded his head.

That young man had been brought here by Yang Zixi to treat his big brother; how could he possibly go in and ask him to leave? Although he did not believe that the young man understood his big brother’s poison, but since the old man in front of him had no solution, perhaps there was no harm in letting the young man try.

“Medicine Master Xiao, Medicine Master Zhou who just went in is actually quite capable.” Just then, the lady behind the young girl spoke up.

“Oh?” Medicine Master Xiao broke into laughter and looked at the lady curiously. He asked, “I do want to know… what kind of skills could that sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy possibly have?”

“Medicine Master Xiao, you are an intermediate-level medicine master… so if I ask you to identify what illness I have with just a look, would you be able to tell?” asked the lady.

Just now, in the pharmacy, that young man in the white shirt had been able to tell that she had a hidden illness at just a glance, and he was even able to fully explain her condition. Even the ten best medicine masters in the Chu royal city could not do that.

“Identify what illness you have with just a look?” asked Medicine Master Xiao calmly. “Unless it is an obvious disease… but if it is a hidden illness, even the superior-level medicine master of the imperial court would not be able to tell just by looking. Are you trying to tell me that… the boy who just went in could identify your hidden illness with just a look?” As he spoke, his face was filled with disdain.

“That’s right,” answered the lady as she nodded seriously. “He could tell what hidden illness I had with just a look.”

“Ridiculous!” Medicine Master Xiao did not believe her words at all. Looking at the lady as if she were an idiot, he turned to Yang Yunchong and said, “Third Master Yang, from today onwards, I, Xiao Chen will not step into the Yang household nor have any connections with the Yang family… even if a Yang family member dies in front of me, I will not help at all.” With that, Xiao Chen snorted and left.

“This…” Yang Yunchong smiled bitterly.

Yang Zixi could barely conceal the anger flashing in her eyes as she glared at Shi Yu and asked furiously, “Shi Yu, is this what you wanted? Are you satisfied now?” If Shi Yu had not added fuel to the fire, Medicine Master Xiao would not have been so antagonized and even swear to never work with the Yang family or treat a Yang family member ever again.

“Sister Zixi, how could you blame it on me? All I said was the truth. If you had not brought that lad to our home, Medicine Master Xiao would not have bumped into him,” responded Shi Yu as he shook his head.

“Young Master Shi, you can’t blame it on Zixi either,” said Yang Yunchong with a sigh. “After all, she had not known that Medicine Master Xiao was here.”

He then turned to Yang Zixi and said, “Zixi, please don’t take it to heart either… Medicine Master Su has never worked with the Yang family before anyway, and even if he was looking for a family to work with, he would not find us. As for him no longer wanting to treat us, there are so many medicine masters around the Chu royal city that it makes no difference.”

“Third Uncle, don’t try to comfort me, this is indeed my fault.” Yang Zixi sighed, though her eyes were hopeful. Just now, Medicine Master Xiao, who was one of the ten top medicine masters in Chu royal city, had said that even the superior-level medicine master of the imperial court could not possibly tell one’s hidden illness from just a look. Didn’t that mean that the superior-level medicine master of the imperial court also could not possibly tell her small illnesses from just a look?

“That Medicine Master Zhou should be quite capable… who knows if he will be able to heal Uncle.” Although this was what she felt, Yang Zixi did not have much hope. Just now, Medicine Master Xiao had said that the poison had already entered her uncle’s vital organs.

As she thought of this, Yang Zixi’s face was depressed, her eyes revealing tormented pain. From young, she had lost her parents, so her uncle had brought her up single-handedly. In her eyes, her uncle was like her father, just a difference in the title. Hence, since her uncle had been poisoned half a year ago, she had been unable to sleep at night, and the little sickness that the young man had identified had also manifested in her.

“Let’s see if he is able to do anything.” Just as Yang Zixi brought the lady behind her together into the room, Shi Yu and Yang Yunchong were also about to enter.

Suddenly, two hurried voices from outside the courtyard caused them to stop in their steps.

“Third Master, I heard that Young Master Shi had brought Medicine Master Xiao over, what’s the situation now?”

“Third Master, Medicine Master Xiao is one of the top ten medicine masters in Chu royal city and is superb at dealing with poisons, does he have a treatment?”
