Chapter 40: I Can

Doctor Jiang is here!

Finally I've been waiting for you; my old man heard me say your medical skill is good yesterday, and this morning he kept urging me to come and line up!

Doctor Jiang, quickly take a look at my kid; this child has been having diarrhea lately, and the medicine doesn't work!

Jiang Feng smiled and waved, just as he was about to speak, a familiar figure squeezed out of the crowd—it was Hua Jing.

Hua Lao saw Jiang Feng, quickly grabbed his arm: "Jiang Feng! You finally came! Quick, first tell me, how's that girl Qian Xue?"

Hua Lao, rest assured, she's already fine.

Jiang Feng patted Hua Lao's hand, his tone relaxed.

She woke up this morning; in a few days she'll be cured. By the way, Hua Lao, what's this?

Great! Great!

Hua Jing let out a sigh of relief, slapped his thigh and laughed.

I knew you had the skill! That girl Qian Xue finally made it through!

Hua Jing pulled Jiang Feng into the shop, explaining as they walked.

Jiang Feng, these are all the neighbors on our street; yesterday you healed many people here, the word spread, saying Ji Shi Tang got a young Divine Doctor, and this morning everyone came waiting, hoping you'd examine them.

Jiang Feng just entered the shop when a lady in a floral dress squeezed over.

Doctor Jiang, I was here with Zhang Dama yesterday; I saw you cure her knee in minutes, now quickly look at me, my arm is always numb and I can't even lift it.

Jiang Feng let the lady sit on a rattan chair, reached out and pinched her arm.

Your meridians are blocked; do you usually sit knitting wool?

Yes, yes!

The lady's eyes brightened, "I knit two or three hours daily, how did you know just by touching?"

Your arm has been held in one posture for a long time; the meridians are blocked causing numbness, I'll press twice and it'll be fine.

Jiang Feng said, his fingers pressed on the acupoints of the lady's arm.

In no time, the lady's eyes lit up: "Ah! No more numbness! Really gone! Doctor Jiang, your hands are too divine!"

The surrounding neighbors grew even more excited, lining up one by one, waiting for Jiang Feng to treat them.

Hua Jing stood nearby, watching the bustling scene, smiling contentedly: "Giving you this Medical Hall was the right choice! Before, I had neighbors come, but never this lively; with you here, it's the blessing of Ji Shi Tang!"

Jiang Feng smiled without replying, then continued treating patients.

At that moment, a thin old voice came from the doorway.

Hua Lao! How come your nearly closed rundown Medical Hall suddenly got so lively? Could you be using some shady trick to fool the neighbors?

Hua Jing's expression darkened instantly, his brows knotted.

It's the consulting doctor Yang Wencheng from the opposite Renxin Hall.

These years he's relied on the Li Family's influence, crowding out my Ji Shi Tang many times; he must be here to cause trouble.

Jiang Feng followed Hua Jing's gaze and saw three people walk in through the doorway.

Leading them was an elderly man with graying hair, twirling two glossy walnuts in his hand.

Behind him followed two young men with stern faces; the entourage was quite impressive.

Yang Wencheng leisurely walked to the counter, glancing at Jiang Feng who was treating a child.

He didn't regard Jiang Feng at all, assuming he was a new apprentice hired by Hua Jing.

Hua Lao, I heard you got a Divine Doctor yesterday? Heh, where's the Divine Doctor? Let Old brother have a look, too.

Hua Jing, unabashed, pointed at Jiang Feng: "Yang Wencheng! Look closely, this is Divine Doctor Jiang."

Oh? You're talking about him? Yang Wencheng raised an eyebrow, then finally looked straight at Jiang Feng.

Hahaha, this kid? He looks like a street thug, yet can treat illnesses? Brother Hua, you must be confused, bringing a fraud to fill the stage—aren't you afraid of ruining Ji Shi Tang's reputation?

Jiang Feng didn't back down, retorting directly.

Old Master, you must speak with conscience. If I were a fraud, would the neighbors line up early? If you're jealous, why not go back and truly improve your medical skill, instead of being sarcastic here.

You little brat, you dare talk back to me?

Yang Wencheng's eyes instantly chilled: "Do you know who I am? I'm the consulting doctor of Renxin Hall, the Li Family's honored guest! You, a mere apprentice, dare speak to me?"

Who told you I'm an apprentice?

Jiang Feng leaned back in his chair, giving a wicked smile: "Now this Ji Shi Tang is mine."

"Yours?" Yang Wencheng was stunned, then burst into laughter.

Old Hua, you're not kidding, right? You handed the Ji Shi Tang that's been open for over thirty years to such a wet‑nosed kid? You really don't want this hall to continue?

Hua Jing's expression turned serious, stepping forward to block Jiang Feng.

Exactly, Ji Shi Tang now belongs to Jiang Feng! His medical skill surpasses mine, even yours! If you're here to cause trouble, leave at once, don't delay us treating the neighbors!

Yang Wencheng snorted coldly at the words.

He pulled a folded check from his pocket, leisurely unfolded it, placed it on the counter, and tapped it with his finger.

Kid, I don't know how you convinced Hua Jing, that old fool, to transfer Ji Shi Tang to you; this check has five million, how about selling Ji Shi Tang to me?

All these years, Yang Wencheng has dreamed of annexing Ji Shi Tang.

In his view, that amount of money is enough to move a young person.

But Jiang Feng merely glanced at the check, smiled and shook his head.

Old man, are you just sending a beggar away? Even if you offered me fifty million, I wouldn't transfer Ji Shi Tang.

Fifty million? Heh, what a bold claim.

Yang Wencheng's voice rose a few notches.

Do you know this street is ruled by the Li Family? If you're sensible, sign quickly, otherwise I'll make sure this Medical Hall can't open tomorrow, and you won't even be able to stay in Jiangcheng!

Hua Jing quickly tugged Jiang Feng's arm, lowering his voice.

"Jiang Feng, don't go head‑on against him! The Li Family really isn't easy to provoke, we…"

The Li Family is one of the four great aristocratic houses; compared with an Underground Force like the Black Gold Society, the Li Family's methods are even harder to deal with.

So Hua Jing also doesn't want Jiang Feng to clash with the Li Family.

"Master Hua Lao, please don't worry."

Jiang Feng patted Hua Lao's hand, stepped forward, and stared coldly at Yang Wencheng.

"I'll say it again: I won't sell Ji Shi Tang. Whatever methods you have, just go ahead and use them."

Yang Wencheng looked at Jiang Feng, and felt an inexplicable panic.

But after all, he leans on the Li Family and can't lose face, so he can only stubbornly keep up the threat.

"Good! Good kid! You've got guts! We'll see! I want to see how many days your Medical Hall can stay open, how long you can remain in Jiangcheng!"

After speaking, he snatched the check on the counter, glared fiercely at Jiang Feng, and then turned and left with two bodyguards.

After Yang Wencheng left, Hua Jing couldn't help but say, "Jiang Feng, you were too impulsive just now! That old man Yang Wencheng holds grudges the most, and with the Li Family backing him, he'll definitely look for a chance to take Revenge on us!"

Jiang Feng smiled, picked up the Pulse Pillow on the table, and gestured to the next Patient.

"Master Hua Lao, don't worry. If he dares to come, I have my own way to deal with him. Let's treat the neighbors first, so we don't keep everyone waiting anxiously."

"Sigh, at this point there's no choice but this…"

Hua Jing, seeing his persuasion fail, could only go with Jiang Feng.

Meanwhile, on the other side, not far from where he just left Ji Shi Tang, Yang Wencheng smashed the antique walnut in his hand hard onto the ground, his eyes cold.

"Send the word out: I want Ji Shi Tang to be unable to continue operating!"
