Section 656

Not anger, not shyness… it was awkwardness.

Xu Hao's Medical Skill far surpassed hers by an unknown margin.

There was no exchange of Medical Skills, only a one-sided teaching session from Xu Hao to her.

Luo Qingxian blushed out of awkwardness.

However, Su Chen and his master did not think so.

She had blushed while mentioning Xu Hao.

They instantly jumped to thoughts of shyness and bashfulness.

Su Chen was dumbfounded.

When the peerless Fairy blushed, it possessed a contrasting beauty—she was simply too breathtaking…

But the moment he thought of such a gorgeous Master's Wife—

Who had already been completely devoured by Xu Hao and was still blushing because of him—

Su Chen felt agonizingly miserable inside.

His gaze stealthily shifted toward his master.

If he was suffering this much—

What kind of emotions must the master, who had always regarded the Master's Wife as his white moonlight, be feeling?

He saw the Old Man's eyes widen, his face frozen in dull disbelief.

He was dumbfounded by Luo Qingxian's sudden blush.

Recalling the past—

This Junior Sister's personality had always been as calm and detached as water.

Cultivating her character and remaining calm in the face of sudden changes.

She was always serene and untroubled at all times, and he had never seen her blush before.

Yet now, she was acting shy because of Xu Hao.

The Old Man's heart ached to the point of almost suffocating.

Slowly snapping back to his senses, fury burned within him as he pointed at Xu Hao and shouted angrily,

"He is merely a businessman, what Medical Skill could he possibly know? I think he is purposely getting close to you, Junior Sister, with malicious intent."

Hearing this, Su Chen grew anxious.

How could the Old Man say such things?

Didn't he already tell the Old Man about Xu Hao teaching the two Junior Sisters?

The Old Man had indeed heard him mention it.

Teaching the Junior Sister's two disciples.

Teaching two sets of powerful acupuncture techniques within half a month.

He didn't believe it at all.

It was simply because he had spent decades immersed in the field of Medical Skills.

He understood Medical Skills thoroughly.

Coupled with the fact that he hadn't witnessed it firsthand like Su Chen did, it lacked the same shock value.

He fundamentally did not believe Xu Hao knew any Medical Skills.

Even if he did, it couldn't be as exaggeratedly powerful as claimed.

Not to mention that long-lost set of Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles.

Even the Tianyi Nine Needles of their Heavenly Medicine Sect were incomparably profound.

He had perused the Sect's ancient texts.

The most Genius Sect Leader in the history of the Heavenly Medicine Sect—

would still take nearly a full year to learn the Tianyi Nine Needles.

Let alone teaching someone else, which was even more difficult…

Teaching it within half a month? Why doesn't he fly up to the heavens?

According to common sense,

it truly could not be done.

But Xu Hao had cheats, after all.

Divine Rank Medical Skills, meticulous control, and Popping Candy that could boost learning capability.

Only then could such an astonishing effect be achieved.

Furthermore, Su Chen had mentioned not seeing Xu Hao treat patients personally.

This made the Old Man believe it even less.

He knew Xu Hao was skilled at poisoning.

He would rather believe that Xu Hao had poisoned the patients in advance,

and then secretly detoxified the patients while the Junior Sister's disciples were administering treatment,

creating the illusion that the two disciples had cured the patients…

Luo Qingxian's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

This Senior Brother Su held a massive amount of hostility toward Brother Xu.

But no matter what, she could not let Xu Hao be slandered.

Luo Qingxian said coldly,

"Brother Xu's Medical Skill is formidable, far surpassing mine. Over this past month or so, Brother Xu has taught me the Tianyi Nine Needles and Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles."

"He is currently teaching me the even more powerful Fuxi Divine Needles. Senior Brother Su, since you do not know the situation, please refrain from speaking nonsense."

"If you slander Brother Xu again, do not blame me for showing no mercy…"

At this moment, the afterglow of the setting sun cascaded down, casting a trace of warmth upon everyone.

Yet the Old Man could not feel this trace of warmth in the slightest.

He only felt an incomparable chill in his heart.

The Old Man felt as though his heart was connected to his tendons, aching with sharp, convulsive throbs.

"Junior Sister, are you truly willing to disregard our fellow Sect ties for his sake?"

He looked at Luo Qingxian with a heartbroken expression.

Luo Qingxian asked in confusion,

"I don't understand why Senior Brother Su harbors such deep hostility toward Brother Xu."

This time, before the Old Man could speak,

Xu Hao spoke up,

"Junior Sister, haven't you figured it out yet?"

"This Senior Brother of yours has feelings for you. Seeing me together with you, he wants to drive me away from your side."

Xu Hao wore a playful expression.

Half-truthfully and half-jokingly, he stated the reason for the master and disciple.

Luo Qingxian was momentarily stunned.

She looked at the Old Man in surprise.

The Old Man's face flushed beet red, a mixture of shame and rage.

Gathering the courage to confess his feelings to his Junior Sister was one thing;

but now having it publicly thrown in his face by Xu Hao was an entirely different matter.

Seeing Xu Hao distorting the facts and bullying his master like this, Su Chen was instantly furious.

His eyes locked onto Xu Hao with a deadly glare,

murderous intent surging.

[Ding… Su Chen is driven frantic with rage, Emotion Points +963…]

"Xu Hao, stop twisting black and white! I am not trying to vie for favor with you out of jealousy, I…"

The Old Man still wanted to continue,

but Xu Hao cut him off preemptively.

"What about you? Did I expose you, so now you're enraged out of shame?"
