Chapter 552: Having Linghu Dongyuan Under Control!

Linghu Xue walked up to Jiang Feng, forcing a thin smile as she spoke.

"Jiang Feng, I've brought Aunt Xing to you; you must cure her for me! Otherwise…"

Linghu Xue paused, her expression complex, and said.

"The Linghu Family will not let you go!"

Her voice was soft, but each word carried weight, like a warning.

Jiang Feng said nothing, merely gave a slight nod, his gaze passing over Linghu Xue to the elder behind her.

At that moment, the elder also stepped forward.

His steps were light, barely audible, yet his footfall on the ground felt as steady as a mountain.

His eyes swept over Jiang Feng, as if appraising a piece of cargo, with a hint of scrutiny and arrogance.

The elder spoke in a calm tone.

"If Divine Doctor Jiang can cure Ah Xing, the Linghu Family will spare no reward!"

His voice was flat, but the tone carried a condescending air, as if speaking to a servant.

Jiang Feng gave no reply, his expression calm, revealing no emotion.

He merely cast a questioning glance at Linghu Xue.

Linghu Xue immediately understood his meaning and hurriedly introduced.

"This is our Linghu Family's Transmission Elder, Elder Linghu Dongyuan."

She paused, then added.

"The Transmission Elder is here this time as a Guardian!"

Jiang Feng raised an eyebrow, offering a faint smile.

The Linghu Family sent the Transmission Elder personally to escort Linghu Xing to Jiangnan, showing how highly they value Linghu Xing.

Linghu Dongyuan seemed uninterested in small talk with Jiang Feng, and got straight to the point.

"Divine Doctor Jiang, we have already fulfilled your request."

He paused, looked at Jiang Feng, his eyes bearing a hint of urging.

"Now, Divine Doctor Jiang, please begin treatment for Ah Xing."

After speaking, Linghu Dongyuan turned, waving at the two men behind him carrying a stretcher.

Both men were masters of the Heavenly Human Realm, towering and composed.

The two were about to set down the stretcher and place Linghu Xing in the courtyard's shade.

At that moment, Jiang Feng shook his head, saying calmly.

"Not today."

Those words made Linghu Dongyuan immediately furrow his brows.

His gaze sharpened, fixed on Jiang Feng, his voice low.

"Divine Doctor Jiang, is it inconvenient?"

Jiang Feng replied lightly.

"Yes, today I must go to Jishi Hall for a consultation."

His tone was flat, as if stating something ordinary.

Linghu Dongyuan didn't even grasp what Jiang Feng meant.

Still, Linghu Xue's expression changed, she stepped forward and shouted softly at Jiang Feng.

"Jiang Feng, what kind of trick are you pulling!"

Her voice was pressed low, but the tone was full of anger.

"We brought Aunt Xing from Kyoto, a thousand li away, and now you want to treat others first?"

Linghu Xue's eyes widened, her chest heaving violently, clearly very angry.

She even suspected Jiang Feng was deliberately insulting the Linghu Family.

Linghu Xing's status was extremely noble; the Linghu Family's once-in-a-century Heavenly Pride, even the Grandmaster Physicians, would come to treat him, never daring to let Linghu Xing go himself.

If not for her condition being truly poor, her body too weak for long travel, the Linghu Family could not have let a wandering doctor like Jiang Feng handle the treatment.

Inside the National Medical Hall, countless top physicians lined up waiting to serve. At the Linghu Family's word, they would rush from Kyoto, respectfully treating Linghu Xing.

Yet they hauled Linghu Xing from Kyoto to Jiangnan over a thousand li, and Jiang Feng still didn't hurry to treat him, even claiming they had no time?

Linghu Xue grew more furious, almost wanting to slap Jiang Feng.

At this moment, Linghu Dongyuan also understood Jiang Feng's meaning.

His expression darkened, his gaze turned icy.

"Divine Doctor Jiang, Ah Xing's illness can no longer be delayed."

His voice was deep, each word seeming squeezed from between his teeth.

"The Linghu Family can spare no expense; we ask you to immediately save Ah Xing!"

His words were courteous, yet the tone already carried a hint of threat.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Feng still shook his head, his expression calm, his tone still flat.

"My other patients are also important."

His voice was soft, yet each word was clear.

"They have already scheduled to see me today; I cannot cancel them just because you arrived."

Those words made Linghu Dongyuan somewhat angry.

He had served as Transmission Elder for the Linghu Family for thirty years, his status revered, even the Family Head gave him face.

No one had ever dared speak to him like that, nor refuse the Linghu Family's request.

Linghu Dongyuan's expression darkened, and a terrifying aura instantly spread from his body.

The aura was like a massive mountain descending from the sky, pressing down on everyone in the courtyard. The air grew heavy, breathing became difficult, and even the light dimmed slightly.

Song Dianjun and the bodyguards' faces turned deathly pale, and their bodies involuntarily stepped back several paces. Their hands rested on the hilts, but their fingers trembled, unable to hold the swords steady.

A few of the weaker bodyguards even collapsed onto the ground, their faces as white as paper.

Linghu Dongyuan's voice was deep and icy, echoing through the courtyard.

"Divine Doctor Jiang, do you really think you've got the Linghu Family under control?"

A flash of murderous intent passed through his eyes, and the aura grew even more intense, like an invisible blade pointing straight at Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng stood there, his expression calm, not a hair moving.

The terrifying aura settled on him, like wind passing over a ridge, not even stirring the edge of his robe.

He looked at Linghu Dongyuan, his gaze showing no fear, even a hint of amusement.

"Linghu Elder, I'm not trying to control you."

Jiang Feng's voice was flat, as if explaining something ordinary.

"I'm merely keeping my promise. Those patients have waited for me a long time; I cannot disappoint them."

He paused briefly, then continued.

"As for Linghu Xing, I said I would save her, and I will. But not today."

Linghu Dongyuan's brows furrowed even tighter.

He stared at Jiang Feng, his eyes full of scrutiny and distrust.

"How long do you want us to wait?"

Jiang Feng thought for a moment, then said.

"Three days."

Linghu Dongyuan's complexion grew even uglier.

"Three days? Linghu Xing's body can't endure three days!"

Jiang Feng looked at him and said lightly.

"I will prescribe her a medicine to temporarily suppress her injuries. Within three days, there will be no problem."

Linghu Dongyuan opened his mouth as if to speak, but ultimately swallowed the words that reached his lips.

He turned his head and glanced at Linghu Xue.

Linghu Xue bit her lip, fell silent for a moment, then nodded.

Linghu Dongyuan inhaled deeply, withdrawing the aura from his body.

The terrifying pressure vanished instantly, and the courtyard's air became clear again. Song Dianjun and the bodyguards gasped heavily, their faces gradually returning to normal.

Linghu Dongyuan looked at Jiang Feng, his voice still icy.
