Chapter 65 My Pang Family, Willing to Give it a Try!
Lord Qi of Qitian Gate walked to the center of the hall with an overbearing air.
"Gentlemen, you may not be aware that this so-called Mad Son-in-law of the Hong Family claims to be a Peerless Divine Doctor, but in reality, not only has he never systematically studied any medical knowledge, he doesn't even have a medical practice license!"
"Do you all think that such a barefoot doctor could cure the legendary and terrifying Gu poison? How is this man any different from those quacks peddling Dog Skin like Plaster on the streets?"
Pang Dahai's complexion grew increasingly stern, and he gritted his teeth and hummed, "Lord Qi, are you serious about what you just said?"
"Of course I am serious. I have personally asked him about it, and this Frenzied Son-in-Law of the Hong Family has admitted it himself!" Lord Qi of Qitian Gate snorted coldly.
The whole place was suddenly abuzz with astonishment, and someone hummed, "He doesn't even have the most basic medical qualification certificate, to say that he could remove Gu poison, I decidedly can't believe it!"
"Indeed, that's too far-fetched. Tell me, Lord Qi, this man comes from your Jiangdu, isn't he one of the Jiangdu Divine Doctor Sect?"
"Of course not. How could such an outsider, who doesn't even understand the basic medical knowledge, be from our Jiangdu Divine Doctor Sect? Our Divine Doctor Sect gathers the world's Divine Doctors, not just any street quack can join!"
Lord Qi of Qitian Gate appeared righteous and proud, feeling secretly delighted in his heart, because the situation was unfolding in the direction he had steered.
Pang Dahai asked in a cold voice, "If he is not from the Divine Doctor Sect, nor a representative of the prominent families of the Southern River Region Jiangnan Province, then why was he allowed to attend this meeting?"
Immediately, Lord Qi of Qitian Gate clasped his hands in apology, "Master of Pang Sect, please forgive me. I had tried to dissuade him from participating, but someone specifically recommended him, and I couldn't stop it."
"Who? Who recommended him?" Pang Dahai looked very angry.
Seeing this, Luo Keque had to step forward and say, "Responding to Master of Pang Sect, it was I who recommended Mr. Ye, because he truly can..."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
But before he could finish, Pang Dahai abruptly cut him off, "Outrageous, Luo Keque, you are the Vice Sect Leader of the Jiangdu Divine Doctor Sect, don't you even understand the rules of the Divine Doctor Sect? How dare you bring in outsiders privately, do you really think the Divine Doctor Sect is your own backyard?"
Luo Keque was scolded to the point of not daring to retort, and of course, he also knew that the situation had reached this point entirely because of the despicable actions of Lord Qi of Qitian Gate fanning the flames in the shadows.
The representative of the Jiang Family, Jiang Tianhu, spoke in a cold voice, "Master of Pang Sect, this useless son-in-law of the Hong Family, there's no need to waste words on him, just kick him out directly!"
"Guards!" Pang Dahai called out loudly, and immediately two security guards stepped forward.
Seventeen, standing behind, watched this scene with his nerves already tense, looking prepared to take action. Of course, he also knew that his master, despite sitting in a wheelchair, was in fact an unrivaled master.
However, Seventeen knew even more that against such minor characters, his master wouldn't take action, because they were not even worthy of it. Hence, it was obviously up to him to step forward.
Luo Keque quickly stepped forward, stood in the middle of the hall, and loudly said, "Gentlemen, Divine Doctor Ye truly can remove Gu and Poison. This is not a baseless claim. As the Vice Sect Leader of the Jiangdu Divine Doctor Sect, I naturally would not talk nonsense. Without substantiated facts, would I casually bring someone here to humiliate myself?"
"Substantiated? How can this be substantiated?" someone asked.
"Five days ago, the head of the Hong Family of Jiangdu, Hong Zhenguo, was afflicted with Gu poison. It was Mr. Ye who personally removed it. I was there at the time and saw it with my own eyes. If you don't believe it, you can now contact Hong Zhenguo of the Hong Family to verify this matter!"
"Is that true?" Pang Dahai narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Indeed, it is true!" Luo Keque declared with certainty.
Pang Dahai furrowed his brow and turned to speak, "Representatives of the noble families, does anyone among you have a good relationship with the Hong Family of Jiangdu? If so, could you immediately contact Hong Zhenguo and verify whether what Luo Keque has said is true?"
"A member of the Pang Family immediately spoke up, "My family has some ties with the Hong Family of Jiangdu. I'll make a call right now!" He went on to dial the number there at the meeting, putting the call on speaker so that everyone could hear.
The call was swiftly answered, and Hong Zhenguo's response was exactly as Luo Keque had described, plunging the entire meeting into silence.
Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, Lord of Qi furrowed his brow and spoke to himself, "This Ye Feng is the Hong Family's son-in-law; it's not out of the question that Hong Zhenguo might lie, is it?"
Luo Keque immediately shouted in anger, "Lord Qi, what are you implying? In a matter as serious as human life, you dare to suggest he would lie? Besides, Hong Zhenguo is a man of status and was quite a figure at the Northern Border in his day. Would he lie?"
Lord Qi found himself at a loss for words in the face of the accusation.
Liang Zhong laughed and then said, "Even if Hong Zhenguo didn't speak up, and even if this Mad Son-in-Law of the Hong Family cured his father-in-law's gu and poison, as Master of Pang Sect said earlier, there are too many types of gu and poison in the world. Just because this Ye fellow was able to treat Hong Zhenguo doesn't mean he can cure the gu and poison in others, right?"
Master of Pang Sect nodded in agreement, "There's some sense in that. There are too many kinds of gu and poison in the world. If one doesn't apply the right remedy, it could very well backfire!"
The room fell silent once again.
Luo Keque spoke coldly, "Since you have such distrust, why don't we let one of the family heads here give it a try?"
Lord Qi sneered, "Let one of the family heads try? Do you really think these family heads are guinea pigs? Ask around, who among those present would be willing to try?"
Jiang Tianhu grumbled, "Are you joking? These family heads are all respected figures in Southern River Region Jiangnan, each with assets over a billion. Who would be so foolish?"
A representative of the Cui Family declared, "My Cui Family certainly won't easily agree to try!"
"The Yan Family may not be the premier family of Southern River Region Jiangnan, but we can't just let someone experiment on us!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng slightly furrowed his brow. Human life was at stake, and he could have been forgiving of their ignorance and fussing, but now he saw that they were truly overstepping.
At that moment, a representative of the Pang Family suddenly stood up, "My Pang Family is willing to give it a shot."
Luo Keque was overjoyed at hearing this, "Brother Pang, this is truly wonderful."
The Pang Family representative smiled, "Brother Luo, you and I have some ties, and I understand your character. I trust you, so please have Mr. Ye try his hand at treating."
With that, the Pang Family representative stepped forward towards Ye Feng, then bowed respectfully in front of everyone and said, "Since it's a trial treatment, there might be risks. Nevertheless, I can assure Mr. Ye here!"
"Whether or not the treatment is successful, or even if the family head's condition worsens after treatment, as long as Mr. Ye doesn't deliberately cause harm, my Pang Family will not blame Mr. Ye. On the contrary, if the treatment is successful, my Pang Family will be most grateful. Here is five million as a deposit; please, Mr. Ye, accept it."
Ye Feng didn't look at the gold card handed to him and simply smiled, "Originally, I had decided not to take action, but seeing your sincerity, I'll agree. Where is Master of Pang Family now?"
"He's here in the hospital, Mr. Ye, if it is convenient for you, we can start the treatment immediately!" said the Pang Family representative.
"Lead the way up front!" Ye Feng gestured lightly.
"Please, Mr. Ye."
