Chapter 4109 — Lord Tian's Wrath

"Lord Tian, you are too kind. This is simply a physician's duty," Wei Zhao said with a faint smile. In truth, if he had truly gone all out, he could have healed the man completely; as it was, he had only made a modest demonstration, restoring a portion of the meridians, so as not to appear too shockingly extraordinary.
Even so, Wei Zhao's image in everyone's eyes had abruptly taken on a profound and unfathomable quality. Di Xingdao was overcome with gratitude, while Hou Guanqi and Cai Zhongxuan no longer dared to regard Wei Zhao as an ordinary junior.
Watching this scene, Tianchan was sincerely happy for both Wei Zhao and Di Xingdao—one the man to whom she had entrusted her whole life, the other an elder bound to her by blood. If anyone was more thrilled at this moment than Di Xingdao, it was her, though for the time being she dared not show it too plainly.
"Young friend Wei Zhao, how... how on earth did you do that?" Hou Guanqi and Cai Zhongxuan, unable to contain their impatience, could not help asking out of sheer curiosity.
Both were masters of the medical art, and as for a technique that could heal shattered meridians—a feat bordering on defying heaven—it was simply impossible that their hearts did not itch with longing.
"There is no need for curiosity, seniors. The only reason I am able to do this is that the mental cultivation method I practice is rather unusual," Wei Zhao said with a smile, then straightened his expression and said, "However, I must ask you all to keep this method of treatment confidential. If word goes out, simply say that acupuncture combined with elixirs was used."
"Rest assured, young friend Wei Zhao. Where Lord Tian is concerned, this is among the highest secrets of our Elixir Hall. Even if you said nothing, we would be careful about such matters—and in any case, it will never be spread abroad, nor would anyone dare come asking us about it," Hou Guanqi and the other pledged.
"Good." Wei Zhao nodded. Where Di Xingdao, once the vice-island master of Middle Island, was concerned, even the slightest whisper leaking out would inevitably draw the attention of many great figures of Middle Island. If even one of them harbored ill intentions toward him, it would be an enormous trouble.
As they were speaking, Zheng Tianshuo outside the door could finally contain himself no longer and pushed the door open—only to witness the sight of heaven-and-earth spiritual energy gathering over Di Xingdao's right arm, which left him stunned and gaping.
Cai Zhongxuan quietly withdrew the barrier and said to Zheng Tianshuo with a cold laugh, "Well? Lord Tian has now recovered one arm. Is the physician we brought in still a charlatan and a swindler?"
"Uh..." Zheng Tianshuo was choked speechless for quite a while. Even if his medical skill fell short of those present, he had grown up in the Elixir Hall since childhood, and under such constant exposure his discernment still far surpassed that of ordinary people.
To be able to heal Di Xingdao—even if only one arm—was absolutely no small matter. If, even so, one insisted on calling the man a charlatan, then not only he himself but likely even his grandfather Zheng Dongjue, vice-hall master of the Elixir Hall, would not amount to the barest scrap of a charlatan—and from then on might as well go begging in the streets.
With the hard, irrefutable facts laid before him, Zheng Tianshuo, however arrogant, did not dare utter another foul word at this moment. He could only force himself to ignore everyone and, stiff-necked, said to Tianchan, "Sister-in-law, you have seen Lord Tian now. Hurry and come with me."
Tianchan shook her head decisively. "No. Lord Tian has only just recovered a little. I am staying to look after him."
