Chapter 342: Chapter 342: Arrogant Attitude
“You’re nothing more than a street doctor, yet you dare to be so rude! What audacity! If it weren’t for the fact that you have some medical skills, I would have finished you off long ago!”
The middle-aged man stared directly at Wu Xiaoyu and asked, “The reason we called you over, little Qiang must have already told you, right?”
Little… little Qiang? Damn, that sounds so pretentious! Wu Xiaoyu’s attention was involuntarily drawn to the form of address, momentarily losing focus.
Seeing him not replying, Sunx Shangqiang glared at him secretly and responded, “Father, I’ve explained everything to him clearly. Should we take him to see Grandpa now?”
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man glanced at his watch, then stood up and smiled, “Dr. Wu Xiaoyu, could you please follow me to the back garden?”
After speaking, he walked out of the room without waiting for a reply. Wu Xiaoyu had no choice but to follow Sunx Shangqiang out of the main hall.
The three of them walked through a few corridors and finally arrived at the back garden of the Sunx Mansion’s other courtyard.
The back garden didn’t have many flowers but was planted with many vegetables, which seemed very incongruous with the ancient-style buildings.
The middle-aged man led Wu Xiaoyu to his father’s side and whispered, “Father, the person is here. Would you like to meet him now?”
Sunx Qianjin, who was practicing Kung Fu, glanced at Wu Xiaoyu and then continued his practice with full concentration.
His boxing style, although similar to Taiji Boxing, had an added touch of might, making it appear both soft and hard.
An elderly man with crane-like white hair standing beside Sunx Qianjin kept praising him, “Young Master, your Kung Fu has improved again!”
“I say, as long as you practice this Canghe Skill daily, you will extend your life and eliminate all diseases. Why would you need to see any doctor?”
Sunx Qianjin, while practicing, responded, “Little Sunx, I must say, I feel somewhat better after practicing for a few days!”
The elderly man with crane-like hair, upon hearing Sunx Qianjin’s words, nestled wrinkles on his face and flattered him, “Mainly because you’re practicing it well!”
“You old fox, always flattering me—” Sunx Qianjin pretended to scold.
Their back-and-forth made Wu Xiaoyu feel very awkward. Did they call him here just to watch them practice or to hear the flattery?
But now suddenly they claim practicing this so-called Canghe Skill is enough. Then why did they ask him to come? To watch him practice boxing or to listen to their empty praises?
Wu Xiaoyu cleared his throat and said, “Although this cultivation technique has health benefits, it is not a Divine Skill and cannot cure illnesses!”
Wu Xiaoyu’s words were like a dry thunder on a winter day, suddenly breaking the silence and attracting everyone’s attention.
The elderly man with crane-like hair glared at Wu Xiaoyu angrily, filled with thoughts of ripping him to shreds.
This Canghe Skill had been a family heritage for hundreds of years. When mastered, it could wound with mere flower petals or leaves.
Even someone with mediocre talent like himself, after practicing for a dozen years, could charge and fight on the battlefield, unstoppable.
More importantly, practicing Canghe Skill could prolong life and prevent aging, providing significant health benefits.
Yet, this young man dismissed it so arrogantly, which was infuriating!
However, the elderly man with crane-like hair wasn’t sure about Wu Xiaoyu’s exact identity and didn’t dare to refute him directly. What if he was a chosen descendant favored by Young Master?
“May I ask who you are?” The elderly man suppressed his anger and respectfully inquired.
Wu Xiaoyu glanced at him and said calmly, “I am a doctor, specifically a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, here to treat Mr. Sunx!”
Chinese medicine? A young Chinese doctor, how could he possibly have any skill? And yet he dared to belittle my Canghe Skill so boldly?
“Young Master, he’s just a kid. How could he have any real medical skills? Don’t be deceived by him!” The elderly man took a few steps closer and advised Sunx Qianjin.
Upon hearing this, Sunx Qianjin looked furious and said sternly, “Are you saying I’m incompetent and unable to judge people?”
The elderly man was instantly filled with fear. Could it be that the Young Master trusted this young guy so much because he truly possessed some extraordinary medical skills?
If the Young Master was genuinely cured by him, what use would there be for himself in the Sunx family? Wouldn’t his Canghe Skill be thrown into the trash?
He had once been neglected by the Young Master for many years due to a mistake, causing the family’s revival to become hopeless, and he himself had been reduced to a commoner.
But in recent years, as the Young Master aged and his health declined, he developed numerous ailments.
After seeking treatments from many places to no avail, he thought of him again and the life-prolonging benefits of Canghe Skill, which allowed him to regain his status.
He had violated family rules to teach the Canghe Skill to the Young Master in order to seize this chance to rise up again.
Now, this young Chinese doctor seemed to want to disrupt his carefully laid plans. How could he just sit idly by?
“Young… Young Master, that’s not what I meant! It’s just that he’s too young. What kind of medical skills could he have?” The elderly man bowed his head and responded.
Although Sunx Qianjin knew that Elder Mu’s chronic illness had been cured by Wu Xiaoyu, he had never seen it with his own eyes.
Now seeing that Wu Xiaoyu was so young and spoke so arrogantly without a trace of humility, he couldn’t help but hesitate.
Could he be a fraud? But he was indeed present at Elder Mu’s birthday feast, right?
Could it be that Wu Xiaoyu was just a cover that Elder Mu threw out, and the real Miracle Doctor was hidden away by that old fox’s cunning?
“So… You cured Elder Mu’s illness?” Sunx Qianjin asked arrogantly, looking down at Wu Xiaoyu.
Although his tone was calm, it was filled with an aura of aggression, making people involuntarily become more cautious.
Wu Xiaoyu glanced at Sunx Shangqiang beside him and responded, “Indeed, I cured Elder Mu’s illness. Didn’t your grandson inform you?”
Sunx Shangqiang cautiously asked, “Grandpa, didn’t you ask me to find someone named Wu Xiaoyu?”
This kid, unaware that Sunx Shangqiang already had doubts about Wu Xiaoyu’s identity, continued to try to take credit.
Sunx Qianjin glared at him disapprovingly and scolded, “I told you to study well. Did you do that?”
“Father, let’s not talk about this now. Why don’t we let Wu Xiaoyu take your pulse first?” The middle-aged man standing aside suddenly suggested.
Sunx Qianjin reassessed Wu Xiaoyu with suspicion. This boy seemed so composed, like someone who had undergone training. Could he really be a decoy sent by that old fox?
“Boy, who is your master? What illnesses have you treated?” Sunx Qianjin continued to question stubbornly.
Feeling the exasperation of dealing with such a verbose family, Wu Xiaoyu sighed inwardly and replied:
“Besides Elder Mu, I’ve treated Niu Gui’s kidney deficiency in my village, regulated the menstrual cycles for some village women, treated Bai Yun’s menstrual cramps, and even delivered an old yellow cow…”
Before he finished, the elderly man standing beside Sunx Qianjin shouted, “Xiaoyu, do you know where you are? How dare you speak nonsense?”
Wu Xiaoyu feigned ignorance and replied, “I’m indeed called Xiaoyu; weren’t you already introduced to me just now?”
“Could it be you have a hearing problem? Should I treat you for that? Considering Mr. Sunx’s status, I can give you a discount!”
