Sea City Central Hospital.

Luo Xiu had just arrived at the main entrance when he ran into a familiar face.

Lin Fei!

When Lin Fei saw Luo Xiu, she rushed over to greet him. "Luo Xiu, you're here! I came specifically to meet you."

She smiled sweetly, looking quite cute.

But looking at her, Luo Xiu felt disgusted.

He ignored her and walked straight toward the elevators.

Lin Fei followed obediently behind him, a remorseful expression on her face. "Luo Xiu, I'm truly sorry for how I've been treating you... I want to apologize. How about I treat you to a meal when you have time?"

A corner of Luo Xiu's mouth lifted in disdain. He had a pretty good idea of what kind of person this Lin Fei was.

Just as he was about to speak, he remembered something. He turned to Lin Fei with a faint smile. "Sure. I'm free anytime."

Hearing this, Lin Fei was overjoyed. Her beautiful eyes sparkled as she gazed at Luo Xiu. She never expected him to agree so easily. For a moment, her confidence in her own charms soared.

She suddenly reached out and linked her arm through Luo Xiu's, smiling sweetly. "Then, Brother-in-law, let's bury the hatchet. You can't bully me, okay?"

Luo Xiu just smiled faintly without a word. But inwardly, he was cursing the woman for her shamelessness.

A short while later, Luo Xiu stepped out of the elevator and immediately saw Lin Xiyue waiting for him.

Lin Xiyue saw Luo Xiu arrive with Lin Fei. Her younger sister was even holding his arm, and they looked quite intimate. Lin Xiyue couldn't help but frown, feeling a sharp pang in her heart.

"You're here?"

"Mhm."

Lin Xiyue had many things she wanted to say to Luo Xiu, but her mood was completely ruined. She led him into the hospital room and stood quietly to one side, saying nothing more.

When He Dang Gui and Li Jiuzhen saw Luo Xiu, they hurried over to exchange pleasantries.

"I never would have guessed! Young friend Luo, you know Elder Brother He too."

"Pah! What do you know, Brother Li? This is destiny!"

"What destiny? I've known young friend Luo for ages!"

"..."

Luo Xiu looked at the two old men bickering jealously and shook his head helplessly. He then went to examine Lin Youpeng and Lin Daqi's injuries before frowning at Zhang Cui. "Didn't I give you a prescription? You didn't use it?"

Zhang Cui lowered her head, not daring to speak, a guilty look on her face.

As far as Luo Xiu was concerned, Lin Daqi and Lin Youpeng's condition could have been easily fixed with just two doses of medicine. He never imagined that their conditions would have deteriorated so severely. Now, they both had one foot in the Ghost Gate Pass.

"Luo Xiu... there's no point in assigning blame now. Can you save my father and grandfather?" Lin Xiyue finally spoke up.

Luo Xiu glanced at her. "Everyone out. Wait outside. Elder He and Elder Li, if you would, please stay and assist me."

To ask two Divine Doctors to assist him, and to say it so casually, left everyone with a peculiar expression. Du Gang ground his teeth, wishing he could just walk over and slap Luo Xiu into next week. But at this critical juncture, no one dared to make a sound.

The two elders, however, were surprisingly delighted by Luo Xiu's words, as if they had just received a great honor.

A little while later, only the two patients, Luo Xiu, and the two elders remained in the room.

Luo Xiu took a case of Silver Needles from his pocket. "First, remove their clothes. I'm going to perform a detoxification."

Li Jiuzhen quickly asked, "Is that the 'Detoxifying Needle' technique from the Creation Thirteen Needles?"

Luo Xiu nodded.

Li Jiuzhen and He Dang Gui exchanged a glance, both overcome with excitement. Looks like we're going to learn quite a bit this time!

Time ticked by.

About half an hour later, Li Jiuzhen opened the door to the hospital room. He looked at the anxious members of the Lin Family waiting outside and smiled. "Everything is fine now. You can all come in."

Everyone filed into the hospital room and was immediately hit by a foul stench. In front of Lin Daqi's and Lin Youpeng's beds, there was a basin, each filled with a viscous, pitch-black liquid.

Lin Fei looked around and asked anxiously, "Divine Doctors, where is Luo Xiu?"

Li Jiuzhen smiled. "Young friend Luo is in the washroom."

Seeing Lin Fei's worried expression, Lin Xiyue felt a sour knot in her stomach.

Just then, He Dang Gui spoke up. "The potent poison in both patients has been completely expelled. From now on, they just need to use the two remedies young friend Luo prescribed." He then looked at the Lin family members sheepishly. "Additionally... I have a rather impudent request. Would you allow me to prepare these two remedies?"

The Lin family members were all shocked to hear this. It seemed Doctor He was extremely interested in those prescriptions.

But Li Jiuzhen was not having it. "Hey now, Elder Brother He! When it comes to compounding medicine, I should be more skilled than you, shouldn't I? Are you sure you want to fight me for this task?"

Undoubtedly, both old gentlemen wanted to study Luo Xiu's two prescriptions. They were remarkably complete and incredibly detailed; anyone with basic medical knowledge could follow the instructions. An opportunity this good couldn't be allowed to fall into someone else's hands.

Li Jiuzhen suggested, "How about this? We'll each take one. Elder Brother He, you can handle the Clear Source Qi Transforming Soup, and I'll take the Scorch-Heal Balm. Deal?"

He Dang Gui immediately agreed. "Fine, it's settled then!"

"..."

Everyone stared at the two old men, momentarily speechless. At the same time, their curiosity about Luo Xiu deepened.

Just then, a commotion erupted from outside the room.

Zhao Gandan burst in, followed by two Martial Association disciples carrying a stretcher. Lying on it, wrapped head to toe in bandages, was Han Zhitao!

"Doctor He, Doctor Li, he's my only disciple! I'm begging you, please save him!" Zhao Gandan pleaded.

Zhao Gandan had already approached the two Divine Doctors for help, but they had refused. They had no desire to treat someone who was injured while being a violent bully. But Zhao Gandan was persistent, leaving him no choice but to bring Han Zhitao directly to them.

Reluctantly, He Dang Gui and Li Jiuzhen went over to examine the patient. After a brief inspection, both Divine Doctors wore expressions of surprise.

Li Jiuzhen quickly asked Zhao Gandan, "Chairman Zhao, has your disciple used the Heavenly Essence Restorative Balm?"

Hearing this, Zhao Gandan looked confused, clearly not understanding what he meant.

Li Jiuzhen gently pinched Han Zhitao's arm and chuckled. "How extraordinary. I never thought the Heavenly Essence Restorative Balm actually existed in this world!"

"Elder Brother He, what do you think?"

He Dang Gui stroked his beard. "Indeed. This young man's bone structure was certainly reforged by the Heavenly Essence Restorative Balm." He sighed. "What a pity. Such a fine constitution reduced to a pile of scrap. A true pity, what a waste!"

Just then, Luo Xiu walked out of the washroom, muttering and complaining, probably about the stench that had gotten on him.

Lin Fei rushed over to him eagerly, handing him two tissues to wipe his hands.

Seeing this, Xu Tao nearly shattered his teeth from clenching his jaw so hard. Lin Xiyue's expression was just as dark.

But at that moment, Han Zhitao, lying on the stretcher, saw Luo Xiu. His eyes flew open, and he struggled to lift a hand and point.

"Master... him... it's him! He's Luo Xiu!" he rasped. "He's the one who did this to me..."

Zhao Gandan froze, his gaze following his disciple's finger until it landed on Luo Xiu's face.

At the same time, Luo Xiu recognized Han Zhitao and couldn't help but chuckle. "Wrapped up like a mummy. I almost didn't recognize you."

Zhao Gandan's face turned icy cold. A formless, powerful aura exploded from him, sending the others in the room scrambling backward in fear.

Such was the fearsome power of a Martial Association expert!

Zhao Gandan strode toward Luo Xiu and hissed, "You little bastard, are you Luo Xiu?"
