Chapter 1720: The Dignity of a Doctor

"I…I don't know either, how could this happen?"

Xue Guanghe quickly reached out again to take Zhai Tianfang's pulse, but he still couldn't find the root of the problem.

At this moment, a faint voice came, "I told you long ago that this was a misdiagnosis. You can't even find the real cause of the illness, yet you dare to call yourself a Divine Doctor. I really don't know who gave you the courage!"

Zhai Gang's eyes were bloodshot. "Quack! Hurry up and find a solution for me! If you can't save my Father, I'll hack you to pieces!"

"I…"

Xue Guanghe was completely dumbfounded. In the past, no matter where he went, he was the esteemed Divine Doctor Xue, but that was based on his Medical skill.

Now, if he couldn't cure Zhai Tianfang, the outcome was obvious—his head would definitely not be safe.

The most critical thing was that he currently had no clue whatsoever and couldn't discern the cause of the other party's illness.

Seeing Zhai Tianfang's Qi growing weaker and weaker, on the verge of death at any moment, he no longer cared about his previous Face. He plopped down on his knees in front of Ye Bufan.

"Young man, I, Xue, was wrong. I, Xue, was blind. I beg you, please be magnanimous and save the City Lord…"

Although he wasn't sure if this Young man could save Zhai Tianfang, he had no choice; this was already his only hope.

Ye Bufan looked at him and smiled coldly. "I said you were a quack and didn't understand the illness at all. Do you believe me now?"

"I believe it, I believe it! Compared to you, Young man, I am indeed a quack!"

The situation was pressing. Xue Guanghe had completely abandoned his pride. After all, this was the Kunlun Continent where the strong reigned supreme, and there was always the danger of losing one's head.

Ye Bufan said, "I said the City Lord only has three-quarters of an hour left to live. Do you want to bet again?"

"No, no, I believe it, I really believe it!"

At this moment, how could Xue Guanghe dare to bet again? If he lost, it would be his own head.

The most crucial point was that the Medical skill Ye Bufan had just displayed had completely convinced him. If the other party could accurately predict the time of the blood vomiting, he could naturally also predict how much time was left to live.

Ye Bufan smiled slightly and looked at Liu Meiniang beside him. "City Lord's wife, do you believe me now?"

"You…"

Liu Meiniang naturally knew what this Young man meant. He was demonstrating his power to her, and her expression instantly turned incredibly grim.

At this moment, Liu Guosheng, who was nearby, jumped out and shouted, "Kid, don't be too arrogant. Don't you know who you are?"

"Oh! Then I understand. From now on, I'll shut up!"

After Ye Bufan finished speaking, he actually stepped aside and truly shut his mouth, saying nothing more.

"Uh…"

Everyone was stunned. This Young man was now the only hope for treating the City Lord. If he shut his mouth, things would become troublesome.

"What are you? Do you have a right to speak here?"

Zhai Gang glared fiercely at Liu Guosheng. In the past, this guy, relying on being Liu Meiniang's older brother, was incredibly arrogant and truly thought of himself as someone important.

If his Father really died, Liu Meiniang, his aunt, would be useless, let alone his aunt's brother.

"I…"

Although Liu Guosheng was filled with resentment, he ultimately shut his mouth and dared not say a word.

After all, the other person was the City Lord's biological son, the Young City Lord of Tianlang City, and his authority was much greater than his own.

Zhai Gang turned his head and bowed deeply to Ye Bufan. "Dr. Ye, I apologize for my previous rudeness. I sincerely apologize to you here and ask you to please treat my Father."

Zhai Lingxiu also said anxiously, "Yes, Dr. Ye, please hurry and save my Father."

"I can treat the City Lord, and I am fully confident in doing so, but I also have my own dignity. The City Lord's wife still seems to owe me an apology."

After speaking, his gaze shifted and landed on Liu Meiniang again.

This woman had tried to drag him out and have him executed repeatedly. Now that he had the chance, he naturally wanted to get his own back.

That's what he thought, but others were startled. This Young man actually wanted the City Lord's wife to bow and apologize.

Liu Meiniang's expression instantly turned grim. "Do you believe I'll kill you right now?"

"I don't really believe it. Why don't we try it now?"

Ye Bufan smiled broadly, completely fearless.

The so-called City Lord's wife's authority was given by the City Lord. Once the City Lord died, she would be nothing.

She couldn't kill him just now, let alone now. The Zhai family would definitely not agree.

"You…"

Liu Meiniang was so angry that her eyes spewed fire. If glares could kill, Ye Bufan would probably have been torn to shreds by now.

Seeing her like this, Zhai Lingxiu immediately jumped out. "What, you're still unwilling? You were clearly in the wrong just now, so you should apologize to the Doctor now."

Liu Meiniang shouted angrily, "That's impossible! I am the City Lord's wife, how could I apologize to a mere young brat!"

Ye Bufan smiled slightly. "It's been about a quarter of an hour, hasn't it? The City Lord still has two quarters of an hour. If you wait any longer, you probably won't be the City Lord's wife anymore."

Hearing him say this, everyone's gaze once again turned to the City Lord. At this moment, Zhai Tianfang's Qi was as faint as a wisp of smoke, and he was on the verge of death.

Zhai Gang gave Liu Meiniang a cold look. "Hurry up and apologize to the Doctor. Otherwise, if anything happens to my Father, you won't live either."

He had been respectful to this aunt before, his attitude much better than Zhai Lingxiu's, but that was based on the premise that his Father was alive.

If his Father died, what use would this aunt be? She wasn't his biological mother, after all.

"I…"

Liu Meiniang instantly felt the pressure from the Zhai siblings. After a moment of hesitation, she finally put down her arrogance.

"I was inconsiderate just now. I apologize to you now."

Though she spoke words of apology, her voice was filled with hatred.

Ye Bufan smiled playfully, looking at her, then at the grim-faced Liu Guosheng beside her.

"Are you thinking that after I cure the illness, you'll get your revenge? I'm afraid you won't have that chance."

Zhai Gang said, "Dr. Ye, please prioritize the overall situation and treat my Father as soon as possible."

Zhai Lingxiu followed, "Yes, please make your move quickly."

Both of them were extremely anxious. Zhai Tianfang's condition seemed too dangerous, with the possibility of death at any moment.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Ye Bufan still needed the City Lord's mansion to find medicine for him, so he naturally wouldn't let Zhai Tianfang die. He walked over, first pulling out the three large needles Xue Guanghe had inserted, then placing his hand on his pulse.

The Zhai siblings stood by nervously. After he withdrew his right hand, Zhai Gang eagerly asked, "Dr. Ye, how is my Father?"

Ye Bufan looked at him. "I said the City Lord is suffering from fire poison. Do you believe it or not?"

"This…"

Zhai Gang hesitated for a moment. In just this short time, another layer of frost had formed on Zhai Tianfang's body, even more severe than before. It didn't look like a sign of severe fire poison at all.

But if he didn't believe it, even Xue Guanghe couldn't treat him before, and now he could only place all his hope on this Young man.

Finally, he gritted his teeth. "I believe it!"
