Li Chao was overjoyed. The master had bestowed medicine upon him, which was an incredible blessing. If his other fellow disciples knew, they would probably be green with envy!
As soon as Li Chao got the pills, he rushed back to the ward.
However, he did not show off in front of his fellow apprentices.
He understands the principle of not flaunting one's wealth.
He wants to refine it secretly and then amaze everyone!
As the eldest disciple, I naturally need to be the first to reach the pinnacle of internal energy cultivation. This will also earn me special regard from my master.
He gave instructions to his fellow apprentices, relaying the master's orders for them to protect the Shen family, and assigned them tasks.
He himself went to the room of the wealthy.
Because Fugui's room was relatively secluded and next to the Shen family, it was an excellent place to sit and refine elixirs.
Li Chao quickly entered a meditative state and then slowly swallowed the pill.
The elixir melted upon entering the mouth, transforming into a warm current that flowed into the limbs and bones.
Just as Li Chao was concentrating on refining the elixir.
The Zhao family mansion.
Zhao Xishun, who was on the verge of death, also took Lin Yu's pill, and it had been a couple of hours.
This period of time caused the Zhao sisters great worry.
However, seeing that Grandpa's complexion gradually improved, he was breathing again, and his body was no longer so stiff, there were obvious signs that he was getting better.
They finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, the old man finally slowly opened his eyes and regained consciousness.
"Grandpa, you're finally awake!"
"You scared us to death!"
The two sisters rushed into Zhao Xishun's arms and couldn't help but sob.
Zhao Xishun's face was full of kindness. He sighed and stroked his two granddaughters' heads, "Alright, Grandpa's fine now, why are you crying! Get up, both of you!"
The two sisters then wiped away their tears and straightened up.
Zhao Linlin quickly asked, "Grandpa, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Zhao Xishun felt a warm current coursing through his body, making him feel warm all over, as if he had returned to the state Lin Yu had in when he was rescued.
"I feel great, very comfortable!" Zhao Xishun looked at Wang Cong with admiration. "Wang Cong, no wonder you're a PhD in Traditional Chinese Medicine, not bad! Not bad!"
Clearly, Zhao Xishun mistakenly believed that Wang Cong had rescued him.
Wang Cong immediately showed an embarrassed expression, his smile looking more like a grimace.
Zhao Qiqi snorted irritably, "Grandpa, why are you thanking him! It wasn't him who saved you. He was so scared when he saw you were in danger that he peed his pants!"
As soon as he said that, Wang Cong's face became even more embarrassed.
Damn it, how did I wet my pants? That's ridiculous!
However, he failed to put on a show, so he didn't dare to say anything and could only continue to awkwardly smile.
Zhao Linlin glanced at him and snorted irritably, "I thought you were a doctor and would be quite capable, but I didn't expect you couldn't even understand Grandpa's condition. Luckily, Dr. Lin was kind and gave us another pill, otherwise Grandpa would have been in unimaginable danger today!"
Wang Cong was thoroughly berated, his face turning red with embarrassment, and he didn't dare utter a single word in response. He was truly mortified.
The main problem is that he couldn't refute it.
He misdiagnosed Zhao Xishun's illness and called the medicine a face powder; it's all his fault!
At this moment, Zhao Xishun understood, "So... it was that young friend Lin who saved me just now?"
Zhao Linlin nodded and said, "Yes, Grandpa! Your condition was critical at the time. Fortunately, my younger sister and I went to the First Affiliated Hospital and found Dr. Lin. We begged him for some medicine, which saved your life!"
"And I heard that this Dr. Lin is a specially appointed expert at the First Affiliated Hospital, and his medical skills are superb!" Zhao Linlin quickly explained.
Previously, when she and her sister went to the First Affiliated Hospital to find Lin Yu, Lin Yu was receiving a call from Shen Manshu and was rushing back to the hospital.
When the sisters arrived at the hospital, they couldn't find Lin Yu, so they inquired with the hospital staff. They learned that Dr. Lin was actually a big celebrity at the First Affiliated Hospital, a renowned miracle doctor!
"I see!" Zhao Xishun nodded with bright eyes and said, "When I first met young friend Lin, I felt that he had an extraordinary bearing. It seems that he is indeed no ordinary person! This time, we Zhao family members misjudged him!"
Zhao Xishun's eyes flickered for a moment, then he immediately decided, "We are very grateful to Mr. Lin this time. If you have time, please invite him to our home. We, the Zhao family, must make good friends with such a person!"
"Tch, just a quack doctor, what's so great about him! Grandpa, you don't need to overpraise him!" Zhao Qiqi suddenly said, her face full of disdain.
She wasn't particularly pleased with Lin Yu.
The main issue was the memory of kneeling before Lin Yu; she just couldn't get over it. She'd never bowed her head to anyone her whole life, let alone knelt. Judging from her grandfather's tone, he intended to treat Lin Yu as an honored guest, which naturally displeased her.
Zhao Linlin frowned. "Qiqi, thanks to Dr. Lin, Grandpa was saved. What kind of attitude is this? You're blaming the cook after you've eaten the pork knuckle, are you kicking him after you've served his purpose?"
Zhao Qiqi pursed her lips, still disdainfully saying, "That's right! Although he coincidentally saved a few people, I heard he doesn't even have a medical license. To put it bluntly, he's just a quack. Even if he heals people, it's only through some unorthodox methods, which isn't legitimate! What's so admirable about someone like that!"
At this moment, Wang Cong, who was standing to the side, suddenly spoke up after a flash of insight.
"Grandpa, Linlin, I've heard that recently there's been a group of quacks who first use tricks to make people sick, and then use prepared antidotes or folk remedies to cure them, making the patients treat them as benefactors and support them! Moreover, these people specifically target wealthy families, because becoming a guest of honor in a wealthy family is the only way to make money!"
That's just making things up out of thin air.
Although he had never met this Dr. Lin, he was incredibly jealous seeing Zhao Xishun and Zhao Linlin treat him so well!
Zhao Linlin couldn't help but frown. "Don't be sarcastic. Dr. Lin is dignified and upright, not at all like the kind of person you're describing! Besides, do you think rich people are all fools?"
"Big sister, that's not necessarily true!"
At this moment, Zhao Qiqi suddenly spoke up again, sneering, "When we were inquiring about him at the hospital, it was true. It's said that he cured He Wu's son, someone from the Marquis's mansion, and Zhang Fushi's daughter!"
"Is this just a coincidence?"
"Now that you mention it, it's quite possible that what Brother Wang said is true; this guy surnamed Lin is probably a con artist trying to scam people!"
"Even Grandpa's sudden serious illness could be a scheme he orchestrated beforehand!" Zhao Qiqi analyzed, her eyes gleaming.
Upon hearing this, both Zhao Xishun and Zhao Linlin's eyes widened in surprise!
