Seeing Chu Zhongtian's face turn bright red but unable to refute him, and only able to let him curse, Ji Dengtu felt extremely satisfied, he had never felt so satisfied before.

Seeing her husband being bullied, Qin Wanru couldn't help but feel secretly angry. She coldly said, "Then how should this be treated? What brilliant ideas does Doctor Ji have?"

Ji Dengtu's face stiffened, and he said with an awkward smile, "I need to think about this carefully. But even if it is cured, Miss Chu's cultivation level will most likely be lost, or at least it will be far lower than before."

"What!" The entire room gasped in shock, Qin Wanru reacting particularly strongly. "No, this absolutely cannot be! Chu Yan has always been the best among her peers. If... if..."

She couldn't say anything more.

Ji Dengtu said seriously, "You should know that it's already good enough that Miss Chu can keep her life. Nothing in this world is perfect."

Bao Youlu chimed in, "That's right. It's a pity that my medical skills are so poor that I couldn't even save Miss Chu's life. I'm already quite surprised that Doctor Ji was able to save her. If we want to preserve Miss Chu's cultivation, I'm afraid even a god couldn't do it."

Zuan looked strange, thinking to himself that he really wanted to jump out and show off.

Chu Chuyan and Chu Huanzhao, who were behind the screen, clearly had the same idea as him and both turned their gazes toward him.

Feeling their admiring gazes, Zu'an puffed out his chest even higher.

Forget it, now that my sister the Empress is asleep, I'd better keep a low profile to avoid attracting too much attention and causing a lot of trouble.

Next, Ji Dengtu mentioned some precautions and then went back to consider the treatment method.

Despite his displeasure, Chu Zhongtian felt compelled to get up and see the man off since he had saved his daughter's life.

To everyone's surprise, Ji Dengtu waved his hand dismissively, saying, "Seeing you annoys me. Don't bother seeing me off."

Chu Zhongtian's face immediately turned as black as charcoal. Qin Wanru, who was standing beside him, gently patted his hand to comfort him, and then instructed Hong Zhong to see him off.

"No need, no need, just let this kid take me." Ji Dengtu casually pointed to Zu'an.

Everyone in the room was immediately surprised. They never expected that the renowned physician would value Zu An so much.

Only Zuan roughly guessed why he had contacted him.

Qin Wanru frowned, then said to Zu An, "Since Mr. Ji asked you to escort him, then you should escort him properly. Mr. Ji is a distinguished guest of the mansion, so you must not neglect him."

Zu An thought to himself, "If you were willing to lend me two sets of underwear, I probably wouldn't offend Ji Dengtu even if I spat in his face."

Of course, he dared not say this aloud, but simply bowed and said yes, then looked at Ji Dengtu: "Divine Doctor Ji, this way please."

"Hmm~" Ji Dengtu said arrogantly, not even glancing at him, and swaggered ahead.

Not long after the two left the courtyard, Chu Tiesheng and Chu Yuepo appeared out of nowhere, addressing him as "Divine Doctor Ji" repeatedly and handing him some precious gifts, trying to find out about Chu Chuyan's condition from him.

Ji Dengtu wasn't stupid; he happily accepted everything, but after rambling on for a long time, he didn't reveal any actual facts.

The two of them were left standing there, bewildered in the wind, trying to figure out what Doctor Ji meant by his words.

Zuan secretly admired him. This guy took the money but didn't do anything, and he could do it without anyone noticing or resentment. He wondered how many gifts he had received to develop this skill.

Noticing that no one was around, Ji Dengtu's aloof expression instantly transformed into a fawning smile, and he affectionately put his arm around the young man's shoulder: "Young man, what happened to the rest of the story in that book you wrote last time?"

"I didn't write it, I didn't, don't talk nonsense." Zuan denied it three times in a row.

“I understand,” Ji Dengtu said with a knowing look in his eyes. “If Xiao Xi’s aunt sees the way you portrayed that Principal Gao in the book, you’ll be in big trouble.”

Zu'an was speechless. I'm more wronged than Dou E! If I had known I would meet the beautiful principal later, I would have found you another book.

"What's the story after that? Update it quickly! I promise I won't tell anyone else," Ji Dengtu urged. The previous book had indeed made his blood boil, but it had become boring after being used too many times. He needed to find something new to stimulate him.

"I'll find some time to see if there's a sequel." Zu'an was having a headache. He was originally too lazy to deal with these things anymore, but he didn't want to offend a powerful divine doctor.

"Haha, that's good. It's strange, you couldn't use that thing before, but you wrote such a good article. Is it because the more virgin you are, the better you are at imagining these things?" Ji Dengtu asked with a smile.

Zuan: "..."

Where the hell is my knife?

"By the way, I heard from the Chu family that you fed the Illusionary Lotus of No Trace to Chu Chuyan. You really went for it." Ji Dengtu said with a strange smile. "Has your thing recovered yet?"

“Go ask your daughter, she knows,” Zuan said irritably.

Ji Dengtu: "..."

"What did you say?" came a voice filled with gritted teeth.

Ji Dengtu's anger level increased by 999!

A powerful pressure enveloped Zuan, rendering him instantly immobile.

I've been having some writer's block lately. The main plot was set up a long time ago, but I'm having trouble with the smaller plot points. That's all for today's update; I don't want to just fill space. I'll make up for it later.
