Chapter 230: Xu Liang is Dumbfounded

After Xu Liang volunteered to step forward.

Naturally, everyone started mocking him even more, worse than how they mocked Long Ao.

Seeing someone foolish enough to take some of the heat off him, Long Ao breathed a sigh of relief and joined in the mockery.

“Just you?”

“I couldn’t cure him, and you think you can?”

“You’re just a lackey of Chen Muyu, do you even know medicine?”

“Stop trying to show off like a clown!”

Being mocked by Long Ao, Xu Liang felt helpless.

Unexpectedly, even as a minor villain, he was now getting the protagonist’s treatment!

He turned to Long Ao and retorted.

“From start to finish, the real clown here is you!”

“You can’t cure him because you’re not skilled enough, but you claim no one else can either!”

“Do you really think your medical skills are unparalleled?”

“You…!”

Long Ao, who prided himself on being exceptional, was at a loss for words for the first time, infuriated by a mere lackey, his face darkened and his demeanor turned hostile, as if he wanted to eat Xu Liang.

But Xu Liang remained composed and indifferent.

The difference between the two was clear.

Xu Liang gave Long Ritian a disdainful look, then spoke earnestly to the young master of the Li family.

“I have confidence that I can cure him, but if we delay any further, it might be too late!”

Facing the skeptical gazes of everyone, Xu Liang remained unfazed, his tone full of confidence.

“How about this, I’ll make a promise too!”

“Five minutes!”

“If Old Master Li doesn’t wake up in five minutes, you can do whatever you want with me, Xu Liang!”

“…”

“…Alright.”

Seeing Xu Liang’s resolute commitment, the young master of the Li family nodded.

It was already too late to send him to the hospital.

However, he still gave Xu Liang a stern warning.

“If you’re also just trying to show off like Long Ao, then don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

“Even though our Li family isn’t as powerful as the Chen family, we’re not someone a mere lackey can offend!”

The young master of the Li family was aggressive and stern, but Xu Liang stood firm, meeting his gaze without flinching.

“Naturally!”

“Earlier, seeing Long Ao so confident, I thought he could cure him, which is why I watched without intervening.”

“But it turns out he only knows how to boast, not having real skills!”

“I could have stayed out of this, but as a doctor, it’s my duty to save lives. I couldn’t bear to see an old man lose his life to a quack, so I stepped in!”

Listening to Xu Liang’s calm and righteous words, everyone felt he had a point.

“…Alright, go ahead!”

At this point, the young master of the Li family had no choice but to let Xu Liang try.

Everyone watched silently as Xu Liang began his treatment.

Only Long Ao, for some reason, couldn’t resist making snide comments.

“Oh, little lackey, when you mess up his treatment, don’t say it was because of my leftovers!”

“Don’t worry, I won’t be as shameless as you!”

Xu Liang responded calmly, “Just make sure, Long Divine Doctor, that you don’t claim your treatment took effect slowly and that I merely took advantage of it!”

“Hmph, fine then. I’ll watch you make a fool of yourself!”

Long Ao sneered.

But Xu Liang remained unfazed.

The myocardial infarction had already been treated by Long Ritian, so he only needed to administer the antidote he had prepared to Old Master Li.

However, to make a bigger impact, Xu Liang decided to use Long Ao’s silver needles for show.

“Long Divine Doctor, may I borrow your silver needles?”

“As a doctor, seeing how critical Old Master Li’s condition is, I trust you won’t refuse out of spite?”

“……Take them!”

Reluctantly, Long Ao handed over the silver needles, his face dark.

Thus, Xu Liang began to use the needles on Old Master Li for show.

Simply administering the antidote wasn’t dramatic enough, so he decided to imitate Long Ao.

On the unconscious Old Master Li, he started inserting the needles.

Soon, Old Master Li let out a loud “Wah—” and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

“Grandpa!”

Seeing his grandfather’s face change from ashen to pale, then slowly open his eyes, the young master of the Li family exclaimed excitedly.

“Grandson, what happened…”

The grandfather and grandson spoke emotionally.

Meanwhile, Xu Liang retreated humbly to Chen Muyu’s side.

His modest demeanor contrasted sharply with Long Ao’s arrogance.

“Lackey, you’re so skilled! Why didn’t you say so earlier!”

Chen Muyu looked at Xu Liang in surprise.

“Just a small effort.”

Xu Liang smiled lightly.

Everything was going smoothly.

However, he was still puzzled as to why the female protagonist Su Yan hadn’t appeared yet.

Wouldn’t she miss seeing Long Ritian’s failure?

Upstairs.

Su Yan, who was being thought about, was still engaged in a different activity.

However, Wang Haoran felt it was time for Su Yan to go downstairs.

Long Ao was a villain; his embarrassment wasn’t his concern.

And when Xu Liang faced humiliation, Su Yan had to be there to witness it.

With this in mind, Wang Haoran made a decision.

Su Yan’s experience +3.

Su Yan, who had been having her hair played with, lifted her head with a hint of allure, then slightly extended her tongue showing stuff inside her mouth.

“Good girl, Yan’er!”

After Wang Haoran’s praise, Su Yan closed her mouth, about to swallow, but stopped by his instruction.

“Yan’er, when you go downstairs, don’t open your mouth!”

Beside them, Zhou Yingying, having seen this many times, didn’t react much, but Chen Ranni, who had witnessed the entire scene, blushed deeply.

Su Yan’s mouth was not only good at singing… but also graceful while eating!

Even after Su Yan tidied up and went downstairs, Chen Ranni hadn’t fully regained her composure.

Downstairs.

Seeing Old Master Li holding Xu Liang’s hand in thanks, Su Yaoguo couldn’t help but sigh.

His grandson-in-law, indeed a Grandmaster! The events unfolded just as he had planned!

Thinking about what was to happen next, Su Yaoguo began to apologize internally—

Sigh, Old Li, I have to trouble you a bit!

I’ll be gentle!

Don’t worry, after the banquet, my grandson-in-law will treat you!

He’ll even let you watch his “airborne ascension” performance!

Su Yaoguo knew that Old Master Li also admired Grandmasters.

Back when they both started martial arts training, they competed to see who would become a Grandmaster first.

In the end… one reached the late stage of Dark Energy, the other the mid-stage, neither even touching the threshold of the Transformation stage, let alone Grandmaster!

Now, his granddaughter brought back a Grandmaster as a grandson-in-law, and since he was part of the Su family, Su Yaoguo just wanted to share his joy with his old friend!

With these thoughts, Su Yaoguo slowly approached Old Master Li.

One, two, three…

Sure enough, Old Master Li let out another “Wah—”.

A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed onto Xu Liang’s face opposite him.

At this moment, Xu Liang was “modestly declining” Old Master Li’s gratitude, his mouth wide open.

Inevitably, some of the blood went into his mouth.

Licking his lips, Xu Liang hadn’t yet realized what had happened when he saw Old Master Li suddenly collapse again.

While everyone was stunned by this unexpected event, Su Yaoguo was the first to speak.

“Old friend, what’s wrong!”

Su Yaoguo helped up Old Master Li.

Seemingly gentle, but actually forceful, he slapped Old Master Li’s back.

“Old friend, are you alright!”

A dazed Old Master Li spat out another mouthful of blood.

And once again, it sprayed on Xu Liang’s face.
