Chapter 107: Su Xiaoyi Begins to Show Off

On the side, butler Uncle Lai was thoroughly enjoying the debate between both parties.

Seeing Su Xiaoyi being ridiculed by everyone and attempting to annul the marriage while still clenching his fists and maintaining a stubborn, unyielding expression, Uncle Lai couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration.

“Is it coming, that one resounding declaration from a young man full of ambition!”

But just as Uncle Lai was anticipating Su Xiaoyi to utter the phrase “thirty years river east”—

There was a loud “bang—” as Zhao Ruilong, seated at the head, collapsed.

“Master, are you alright?!”

Seeing Zhao Ruilong vomit blood and faint, Uncle Lai, who was halfway through enjoying the show, hurried over to support him.

Everyone else in the room also became anxious.

“Quick, go get Doctor Sun!”

Zhao Ruihu quickly instructed the servants, while the third brother, Zhao Ruinian, also approached with concern.

They genuinely didn’t want anything to happen to their brother. After all, their brother had no children; every day he remained as the family head was another day of working for their sons! Eventually, he would have to step down!

There’s no way their young and healthy sons and nephews would die before their sickly brother, right?

Looking at Su Xiaoyi, Zhao Ruihu suddenly thought of a strange phrase.

He quickly shook his head to discard the inexplicable thought, then went to greet Doctor Sun who had just arrived.

Zhu Nan also hurried over.

It was because of Doctor Sun’s arrival that Zhao Ruilong had urgently summoned her back from S City.

In fact, Zhu Nan was very pleased with Doctor Sun’s medical skills, finding them just right.

Under Doctor Sun’s treatment, Zhao Ruilong could move freely but still had a weak appearance.

In this way, Zhu Nan could have Zhao Ruilong support her without worrying about his advances—a win-win situation!

“Doctor Sun, please come and check on Ruilong!”

Doctor Sun, who was being called over by the crowd, quickly took Zhao Ruilong’s pulse and carefully observed his face.

“Don’t worry, the family head is not in serious danger; it’s just a recurrence of his internal injury. He’ll wake up soon!”

Hearing Doctor Sun’s words, everyone sighed in relief and prepared to help Zhao Ruilong back to his room.

But then, a disdainful voice interrupted.

“Hmph, where did this quack come from, endangering people’s lives!”

“Saying there’s no danger and he’ll wake up soon? Nonsense!”

Hearing Su Xiaoyi’s words, everyone turned to look at him.

Doctor Sun frowned, “What do you mean, you brat?”

“What do I mean?”

Su Xiaoyi pointed at the unconscious Zhao Ruilong.

“I mean, if you follow this quack’s advice, don’t wait for him to wake up—just prepare his funeral for tomorrow morning!”

“You, arrogant! You brat, do you know medicine? Do you know how to treat people? At your young age, what can you have learned to dare speak so arrogantly!”

Doctor Sun was furious, his beard bristling.

Su Xiaoyi sneered.

Daring to say he, the Baicao Sect heir, didn’t know medicine? Clearly, this doctor didn’t recognize greatness!

“Medical skills depend on proficiency, not age. Being old and unskilled, like you, is useless! The older, the more harm you cause!”

“You… brat, you better take responsibility for your words!”

Doctor Sun pointed at Su Xiaoyi’s nose in anger.

But his hand was quickly slapped away.

“Clearly, the family head is in critical condition, yet you say he’ll wake up on his own? Aren’t you harming him?”

Su Xiaoyi confidently approached the unconscious Zhao Ruilong.

“Let me try! I can wake him up immediately!”

“You?” Zhao Ruihu was skeptical, doubting both Su Xiaoyi’s abilities and his intentions. “Hmph, you just had a conflict with our Zhao family, who knows if you’ll harm him!”

“Hmph, the Baicao Sect is dedicated to saving lives. In my eyes, there are only patients, no grudges!” Su Xiaoyi retorted disdainfully to the doubts.

Only patients, no grudges? Zhao Ruihu found this hard to believe.

Seeing Su Xiaoyi approaching with silver needles, ready to act, Zhao Ruihu and the others were about to scold him but were intimidated by his aura.

“Saving lives is urgent. Every minute wasted increases his danger!”

Su Xiaoyi’s expression was serious, his voice steady, as if he was confident of victory—

“If he doesn’t wake up within ten minutes, I’ll bind my hands and let you deal with me!”

“You… fine, I’ll see what you can do!”

Feeling an involuntary sense of fear, the crowd had no choice but to agree.

Zhao Ruihu signaled for a group to wait at the living room’s entrance.

“If anything happens to my brother, you’ll never leave the Zhao family!”

Ignoring Zhao Ruihu, Su Xiaoyi swiftly inserted silver needles into Zhao Ruilong’s chest and head, his movements dazzling everyone.

Doctor Sun, still looking down on Su Xiaoyi, muttered.

“Show-off! Which acupuncture master didn’t train for decades? A brat like you couldn’t possibly have learned! Hmph, I’ll have to clean up your mess later!”

In less than three minutes, Su Xiaoyi finished all the acupuncture.

He exhaled lightly and said to the bewildered crowd, “Alright, he’ll wake up shortly!”

One minute, three minutes, five minutes passed.

With still time left from the ten-minute mark, someone couldn’t hold back.

It was Zhu Nan, who, for some reason, couldn’t wait ten minutes and wanted to question Su Xiaoyi.

“Ruilong hasn’t woken up yet. Are your medical skills even effective?”

Zhu Nan’s words prompted others to join in.

“I don’t think he’s capable! It’s all a show, no real doctor treats like this!”

Zhao Ruihu, convinced Su Xiaoyi was seeking revenge, coldly snorted, “Hmph, we were foolish to trust you! Just wait!”

Doctor Sun feigned disappointment, “Ah, young people, so impatient, showing off with just superficial skills, now you’ve caused trouble!”

Zhao Yu, beside Zhao Ruihu, also looked at Su Xiaoyi with utmost disdain, “Arrogant and boastful, and you want to be my husband?”

Meanwhile, Zhao Ruinian and even the maids started pointing and mocking Su Xiaoyi.

For a moment, Su Xiaoyi became the target of everyone’s criticism.

Seeing Su Xiaoyi embarrassed brought Zhu Nan joy, and she continued.

“Doctor Sun, please come check on Ruilong, make sure this hick didn’t make things worse!”

“No problem, I’m not like some self-righteous youngsters!”

Doctor Sun posed as a high and mighty figure.

Equally disliking Su Xiaoyi, Zhao Ruihu also instructed his men.

“Get this hick out of here!”

But just as they were about to seize Su Xiaoyi—

Zhu Nan’s husband, Zhao Ruihu’s brother, Zhao Ruilong, betrayed them again.

“Cough—cough—”

Suddenly, he coughed up two mouthfuls of black blood and slowly opened his eyes.

Supporting him, Uncle Lai exclaimed.

“Master is awake!”
