Peerless Divine Doctor in the City of Flowers
Chapter 312: She is Laozi’s Girl

Chapter 312: Chapter 312: She is Laozi’s Girl

The Gong Family held a grand banquet.

However, most of the martial artists present were there out of respect for Xue Muhua.

After all, as a healer in the martial arts world,

his abilities were incomparable to those of an ordinary Divine Doctor like Li Yizhen.

Being a skilled martial cultivator himself, he excelled at using inner strength to treat internal injuries.

Moreover, his skill with silver needles was such that there was no illness he couldn’t treat.

Thus, people in the martial arts circles gave him the nickname "Rival of the King of Hell."

At that moment, when he spoke, the surrounding whispers quieted down significantly.

Everyone believed that his eyes could not be mistaken.

"You’re old, yet why isn’t your mind working? I know about the rites of Duke Zhou, she admits it, how is it your place to speak? Could it be that you were squatting by my window or hiding under my bed, overhearing what my wife and I discussed? What right do you have to deny it?"

Lin Fan’s lips curled into a cold smirk.

A pair of frosty eyes stared directly at Xue Muhua.

"Am I not qualified based on my sixty years of medical experience? The ancient texts state: ’A complexion like dawn’s rosy hue and snow, beauty so radiant one cannot look directly, clear and bright eyes, elegantly arching brows, red lips and white teeth, ears well set and nose well placed, a graceful chin—these are indeed the marks of a virgin. Thus, I can assert with certainty, you have not conducted the rites of Duke Zhou; hence, this is a lie!"

Xue Muhua, having weathered many storms, was naturally not easily provoked by Lin Fan.

With his beard meticulously groomed, his lips bore a confident smile.

"In speaking and acting, evidence is what matters. We say we slept together; you say we didn’t. Do we need to perform it in front of you to prove it? Sixty years in practice only proves you are a quack."

Lin Fan stood with his arms folded, smirking coldly.

"Are you questioning my medical skills?"

Xue Muhua’s face darkened.

He had traveled the martial world for many years, and no one had dared to question him like this.

"What, is it not allowed?"

Lin Fan looked disdainfully at Xue Muhua.

"Young man, you must be blind. Do you see who this is? This is the ’Rival of the King of Hell’ from Medicine King Valley!"

Seeing that Lin Fan dared to challenge Xue Muhua,

Gong Changjun felt immensely pleased.

Though Xue Muhua was not considered a high-level martial artist,

his medical expertise held significant influence in the world of martial cultivators.

Even if Lin Fan had the support of the Dragon’s Tooth,

it would be useless.

"’Rival of the King of Hell,’ what nonsense. If he were that incredible, would there still be death in this world?"

Lin Fan retorted with a curl of his lip: "Healers merely treat and save those they can, striving their best. If they can conquer some complex diseases, that is a meritorial act. As for reversing life and death, that’s nothing but swindler’s trick. Claiming to be a ’Rival of the King of Hell’ without understanding this, aren’t you afraid that when you actually meet the King of Hell a hundred years from now, he will toss you into the boiling oil?"

As soon as these words came out, the place was in an uproar.

Although there were voices of opposition,

people had their own judgments.

Lin Fan was right—who could escape death?

"Young man, you dare to speak to me in such a manner, do you also practice medicine?"

Now Xue Muhua truly found himself on the spot.

If this issue was not resolved today, he would really lose face in the martial arts world henceforth.

"Studied for two years knocking on pigs. Why, do you have an ailment that requires my examination?"

Lin Fan looked at Xue Muhua with a smile.

It seemed today he wouldn’t be able to settle this old man.

His own wedding would also be hard to snatch.

"Insolence!"

Lin Fan’s words implied that Xue Muhua was a pig.

No one had ever dared to demean him like this.

This made his face turn an ashen color.

"How is that, did I speak wrongly? Marrying off men and women, what does it have to do with you? Did you ask the woman’s opinion before you took on the role of marrying them off? Aren’t you afraid she might not want to marry this good-for-nothing? You don’t use your brain, is calling you a pig wrong?"

Lin Fan crossed his arms and wore a cold smirk on his face.

These words were not only directed at Xue Muhua but also included Master Miejue.

"Nonsense, the marriage of men and women relies on the decree of parents and the word of the go-betweens. The Gong Family had already proceeded in an orderly fashion, having obtained Master Miejue’s approval and given the betrothal gifts. Stop spreading your wild talk here!"

Gong Changjun hastily added from the side.

Once again dragging Master Miejue into this.

"All your ancestors are dead, what age do you think this is, telling us these stories. Whoever agrees, let them go into the wedding chamber with your son. In any case, this girl belongs to me now."

Lin Fan said with a smile as he pulled Shangguan Min Yue close to him.

Since things had already escalated to this extent.

Why not stir them up even more?

"Utter nonsense!"

After a long silence, Master Miejue finally spoke.

She stood up from the table with a slam, glaring at Shangguan Min Yue.

"Marriage is a serious matter, governed by the decree of parents and the negotiation of go-betweens. Since I had already agreed that she would marry into the Gong Family, she must obey the teacher’s order. Now, with Mr. Xue as a witness that you haven’t performed the formal rites, this farce should end. I don’t care if you have dragon’s teeth or tiger’s teeth, get out of here immediately."

"Master..."

Shangguan Min Yue looked at Master Miejue with tears in her eyes.

At this point, she didn’t help at all.

Indeed, she was still as fond of saving face as ever.

"Min Yue, if you still recognize me as your Master, then go to the wedding ceremony now; otherwise, don’t blame me for enforcing the sect rules!"

Master Miejue held her horsetail whisk, her face ashen.

The most taboo thing in the martial world was inconsistency.

"I told you that she has already slept with me. Are you, a foolish nun, deaf, or what? How can a mediocre doctor arbitrarily deny our relationship? Unless you produce evidence today, otherwise you are breaking up a pair of lovers!"

Lin Fan sneered with a wicked smile, pulling Shangguan Min Yue closer, "Of course, the Gong Family bullies others, forcing them to marry someone else’s wife. If word of this gets out, they’re sure to be the laughing stock."

"You..."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the Gong Family members darkened.

Gong Tianao was the eldest grandson.

If he married a ’second-hand’ wife, wouldn’t that be a huge joke?

Gong Changjun gritted his teeth and glared fiercely at Lin Fan.

He could only turn his head to look at Xue Muhua, whose face was also ashen.

"You want proof, do you? Well then, let me give you some!"

Xue Muhua, who had initially wanted to remain silent, finally gritted his teeth.

Knowing that Shangguan Min Yue didn’t want to marry, but if he didn’t act today.

His reputation would be ruined.

He then reached into his pocket and took out the silver needle he carried with him.

"To discern her integrity, just dot her wrist with a ’maid’s tear’. If the blood clusters and does not disperse, isn’t that the best test?"

"This method is good, hurry up and test it."

"If you don’t dare to test, then you must be lying."

"Without performing the formal rites, it’s all nonsense!"

Instantly, the crowd below stirred.

Meanwhile, Shangguan Min Yue bit her lip tightly.

Knowing this, she might as well have given in earlier.

It would have saved creating so many problems now.

"Testing is fine, but based on your mediocre medical skills, is the method you mentioned reliable?"

Just as Zhao Jiaqi was anxiously waiting.

Lin Fan revealed a cold smile, "It’s not difficult to test her; let me first test your medical skills. Do you dare?"
