59 Behind the Repercussion

The elderly known as Elder Jiang snorted coldly. He looked at Physician Xie sarcastically. "Can an ordinary man make you, a third-grade physician, kneel in public? Can he cure a patient whom I've deemed incurable?"

Physician Xie blushed and lowered his head. His hands, which had been by his sides, clenched tightly. However, his low-hanging eyes were blazing with resentment and hatred.

Elder Jiang said, "Are you sure that the patient's meridians have been severed? Now, he has been cured? Have you made an accurate diagnosis?"

Physician Xie felt wronged. Nevertheless, he nodded and replied, "I am very sure. That boy must have used some mystic technique…"

Elder Jiang cut him off with a wave of his hand. "Besides you and Zhou Yanan from Sheng De Pharmacy, was there anyone else present at that time?"

Physician Xie recalled the strange power which had made him kneed and kowtowed. A look flashed across his eyes, but he finally shook his head as he said, "This could be a trick by Sheng De Pharmacy. They might have sent this kid intentionally to provoke us."

Elder Jiang shook his head. "Our top priority right now is to find that boy. Once you've located him, send someone to notify me immediately. Remember, don't do anything rash. Else, you'll have to pay for the consequences!"

Elder Jiang's authoritative voice filled with threat, and Physician Xie shuddered. He quickly bowed and replied, "Yes, Elder Jiang."

Elder Jiang watched Physician Xie's silhouette as the latter retreated in fear and trepidation. The fire of greed and eagerness burned in the elderly's eyes.

Xie Chongming might be an ignorant fool, but he knew better than anyone. Only an eighth-grade physician was capable of repairing severed meridians. If that could be done by a mere mortal—if the Jiang family possessed this skill, the day when he joins the Physician Association would be around the corner.

All these years, the Jiang family had been hiding in Yan Jing City hustling and bustling in wait for this moment.

Haha. He was determined to get his hands on that boy and his mystic technique.

…

Meanwhile, Zhou Yanan—the shopkeeper at Sheng De Pharmacy whom Physician Xie had mentioned—was also reporting to his master about today's incident.

A man in red brocade was the only person seated in the middle of the spacious council room.

He was wearing a weird white mask. The lights shone, and the picture on the mask resembled a ferocious ghost vine which gave people a creepy feeling.

Zhou Yanan raised his head and glimpsed at his young master who was sitting down, and then he quickly lowered his head. He dared not look any longer as he could feel his heart pounding.

Only a few confidants knew how devilishly handsome his young master's face was beneath the strange mask. Very seldom would he show his true face to others because he had detested his looks since young.

When he thought of his master's true face, Zhou Yanan inevitably remembered that youth who had saved a life today. Both of them looked equally handsome, but the youth's complexion was as clear as jade like the proud snow on Tianshan Mountain. His charm was completely different from the master's devilish looks.

Just when he was deep in his thoughts, a man's lazy voice rang in his ears. "A mortal could reconnect severed meridians? That's really interesting. If there really is a person with such divine means, I'm afraid that will change the direction of the medical world in Jin Ling entirely."

Zhou Yanan collected his thoughts in a hurry as he bowed and asked, "Master, shall we get more men to search for that youth?"

He had sent a spy to follow the youth before. Strange enough, they would lose track of the youth whenever he went around a corner. To his knowledge, the men from Ji Sheng Pharmacy had returned without success, too.
