Chapter 519: Who is Lin Feng
What? We still have to wait for others to come?
Upon hearing the conversation between Leng Hui and Meng Liang, Liu Hong’s heart instantly flared with anger, no longer able to contain his fury.
"You better think this through, I am an S-ranked supreme healer, and to put it bluntly, apart from me there is no one else who can awaken Meng Ping. If you seek help from others, I won’t lift a finger!"
Liu Hong was utterly infuriated now. As an S-ranked master coming to treat them was already a huge favor, if it weren’t for the Ancient Exotic Jade Yuan Kun mentioned, he wouldn’t have bothered with this place at all. What status did he hold? An S-ranked master. He didn’t even care about national leaders, let alone other people who begged and pleaded for his help. No one dared to disrespect him!
Moreover, Liu Hong was extremely confident in his medical skills; the path he took as a cultivator was unique. Fascinated with medicine since childhood, he never abandoned it even after starting down the cultivator’s path, attempting to combine medical practice with cultivation. Undeniably a genius, he single-handedly developed a method to accelerate cultivation through medicine.
That’s how he broke through to S-level, envied by countless other cultivators. After years of relentless exploration in medicine and countless patients to practice on, in the medical domain, he was confident that if he was to be ranked second, absolutely no one could claim to be first. But today...today he had been denied, and that was something he simply could not swallow!
Therefore, Liu Hong spoke up again, but this time his words were a clear threat, warning the Meng Family that they had only one chance. In his eyes, once he made this statement, surely the Meng Family would reconsider and ask him to heal Meng Ping. How could they ignore an expert like him in their presence and wait for some illusory hope? It was preposterous to think anyone’s medical skill could surpass his. Impossible!
"Uncle Leng..." Hearing Liu Hong’s words, Meng Liang also grew anxious. If what Liu Hong had said was true, wouldn’t that mean he might ruin his father’s only hope? With this in mind, Meng Liang’s heart wavered once again, contemplating whether to agree to Liu Hong’s offer to heal his father.
"Liangzi, don’t worry, that person will surely have a way. Your Uncle Leng has witnessed his medical skill!" Leng Hui’s expression darkened at Liu Hong’s threatening words. He might not know how powerful Liu Hong was, but he knew Lin Feng had cured his injuries. That alone was enough for him. Moreover, from a medical ethics standpoint, Liu Hong did not inspire confidence in Leng Hui; having such a person treat Meng Ping was too concerning.
With that, Leng Hui once again dismissed Liu Hong and made up his mind. Even if Lin Feng couldn’t heal Meng Ping, under no circumstances should Liu Hong be allowed to intervene.
"Don’t speak too soon. There’s always someone better out there! Liangzi, rest assured, Uncle Chen here is guaranteeing it for you." Chen Guisheng completely saw through Liu Hong now and couldn’t let such a person treat Meng Ping; Liu Hong’s medical ethics were abysmal. He wasn’t seriously intent on healing Meng Ping, so Chen Guisheng spoke up frankly. For a high-level expert like Liu Hong to possess such character left him utterly speechless!
"Fine, I’d like to see who you can bring in. I’d love to see who has medical skills superior to mine!" Liu Hong was so enraged by Leng Hui and Chen Guisheng’s words that he nearly stormed out, but then he remembered the Ancient Exotic Jade rich in special Spiritual Energy, which he desperately wanted. Such treasures were not easily found, and if he missed this opportunity, there might not be another!
With that thought, Liu Hong suppressed his anger and decided to stay, eager to see who this alleged supreme expert was. No matter what, he couldn’t believe anyone’s medical skill could outshine his; he’d devoted decades to medicine and was known as a Sacred Hand, with the True Qi to assure his capabilities. How could anyone in the mortal world compare to him!
Once that person arrived and failed to cure Meng Ping, he imagined the Meng Family begging him to intervene. Then, he’d make sure to give them a hard time, showing them the price of neglecting an S-ranked expert!
Liu Hong was feeling smug, envisioning tomorrow’s events, and how the Meng Family and the Leng Family would have to plead with him. His mood certainly improved a bit.
Yuan Kun watched as Master Uncle Liu Hong truly lost his temper, growing worried himself. He hadn’t expected the Lengs to dismiss Master Uncle Liu Hong, the Medical Sage he had taken great effort to invite. To see such a guest turned away was infuriating. If Master Uncle Liu Hong couldn’t properly heal Chief Elder Meng, then no one in this world could. Otherwise, Master Uncle wouldn’t be known as the Living Bodhisattva!
"They wouldn’t let Master Uncle Liu Hong take action to treat the patient, nullifying all his efforts. All of his plans would be ruined, and that was something Yuan Kun did not want to see. At the thought, Yuan Kun felt an indescribable resentment towards Leng Hui and Chen Guisheng. If it hadn’t been for their interference, everything would have surely gone according to plan, with Master Uncle Liu Hong stepping in. How wonderful that would have been—the Leng Family and the Meng Family would have been grateful to him and owed him a favor. And such a favor was no trivial matter; it was something most people couldn’t achieve in a lifetime. To squander such an opportunity!"
What was even more unbearable for him was another consequence, a secret consequence. Master Uncle Liu Hong had promised him that if he successfully obtained the Ancient Exotic Jade this time, he would help enhance his cultivation power. Such an opportunity was priceless and extremely rare!
Now everything had turned to naught. How could Yuan Kun not be enraged? Upon this thought, Yuan Kun also wanted to know who exactly Leng Hui and Chen Guisheng were, but he forcefully suppressed his anger. Patience was key to the grand scheme; he had endured for many years, so one more incident didn’t make much difference!
Yuan Kun still stood expressionlessly at the side, observing, almost as if he had vanished from the scene.
"Yuan Kun, it’s getting late. You and your Master Uncle should go down to the guest room to rest," Leng Hui said coldly, effectively issuing an order to leave.
"Yes, General Leng. Master Uncle, let me take you to rest," Yuan Kun responded promptly upon hearing Leng Hui’s words. He walked over to Master Uncle Liu Hong, gestured politely, and indicated that his Master Uncle should follow him outside for a rest.
Liu Hong cast one more glance at Leng Hui and Chen Guisheng, his eyes brimming with venomous resentment. With a flick of his sleeve, he turned and left the room, cursing inwardly, "These two old fools, daring to get in the way of this matter, preventing him from rescuing Meng Ping and obtaining the Ancient Exotic Jade. See how they regret it tomorrow, begging him for help!"
They left the room one after the other, and the room fell silent.
"It appears we must wait for Lin Feng to come after all. Had I known that this S-class expert Liu Hong was like this, I would not have let him come!" Chen Guisheng caught his breath as Liu Hong left, calming himself down before speaking to Leng Hui. By now, Chen Guisheng regretted having Liu Hong come here, and knowing what he was like, he would never have agreed to it.
"Yes, I feel the same. I’ll call Meimei tomorrow morning and ask her to bring Lin Feng over. Since Xiao Hao is also returning later, I’ll have Xiao Hao pick them up from the airport early. We need Lin Feng to get here as soon as possible to treat Meng Ping; there’s no other way," Leng Hui said evenly. He had been quite angry earlier and had never imagined an S-class expert would behave like that. Now, their only hope was for Lin Feng to come and treat Meng Ping.
"Who is Lin Feng?" Hearing Chen Guisheng and Leng Hui speak so, Meng Liang was quite perplexed. Who was this Lin Feng that could inspire such trust from both of them, completely discounting the S-class expert they had just rejected? That man’s medical skills truly surpassed those of Chen Guisheng—at least he could wake his father from unconsciousness. So, who was this Lin Feng?
"Liangzi, you’ll be surprised when Lin Feng arrives. Once Lin Feng cures your father, you’ll understand what kind of person he is."
Leng Hui could tell that Meng Liang was still worried about whether there was a healer with skills surpassing Liu Hong’s. Indeed, it was hard to imagine someone outdoing Liu Hong. Had Leng Hui not witnessed Lin Feng’s miraculous medical skills, he wouldn’t have been so sure himself. He spoke to comfort Meng Liang, fully confident in Lin Feng’s extraordinary ability to heal Meng Ping.
"Indeed, you will see for yourself how miraculous Lin Feng’s medical skills are," Chen Guisheng added, deeply admiring his junior brother disciple Lin Feng’s proficiency in medicine. With Lin Feng stepping in, Meng Ping’s illness would surely be no problem. Lin Feng had inherited their master’s Immortal-like magical healing techniques!
"Oh..." Seeing the confidence that Leng Hui and Chen Guisheng had, Meng Liang too felt reassured. If it had been anyone else saying this, he might not have believed it. Yet these two seniors, especially close to the Meng Family and with the best relationship with his father, would certainly not be mistaken in their judgment. Thus, he had no choice but to wait for Lin Feng’s arrival. With that in mind, Meng Liang approached his father’s bedside, looking at his father and feeling expectant for Lin Feng to indeed heal him...
