Chapter 19

After Ma Yuancheng spat blood, his body began to convulse violently, and the situation was extremely critical.

"Dad!" A sorrowful cry pierced the air; it was Ma Yuancheng's son, Ma Qingsong.

This cry stopped all the Ma family juniors who were preparing to act against Lin Yu.

And the terrified Xu Chen turned to look at Lin Yu, accusing: "It's all his fault. If he hadn't interfered, how could it have become like this?"

But at this very moment, the Ma family members no longer believed Xu Chen's rhetoric. They clearly saw that this so-called son of a Divine Doctor was actually a swindler who was strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

Ma Qingsong rushed toward Xu Chen regardless of everything, grabbed his collar, and roared: "Save my father immediately, otherwise I will take your life."

Lin Yu sneered on the side: "Truly ridiculous, harming people without even knowing it, and you were actually deceived by him."

Xu Chen felt true fear strike and hurriedly defended himself: "Everyone, don't listen to him. I'll go find my father right now; he will definitely be able to save Pavilion Master Ma."

Just then, a commotion came, and a group of men in black escorted a dignified middle-aged man into the banquet hall; it was the famous Medical Immortal of the capital, Xu Jianhua.

Xu Chen, seeing this, was so scared he almost lost control of his bladder, but still shouted: "Father, save me!"

Everyone present was shocked; no one expected that the Medical Immortal Xu Jianhua would personally come to the Ma family.

"Medical Immortal, your arrival is an honor; please forgive us for not welcoming you properly!" Ma Yuanfeng hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Xu Jianhua bowed slightly and said with some embarrassment: "Lord Ma, you are too kind. Saving the person is the priority."

He took the silver needle handed over by his subordinate and used just one to stabilize Ma Yuancheng's condition, allowing his complexion to gradually recover.

"That was close..." After Xu Jianhua finished all this, his forehead was already full of sweat.

The Ma family juniors, seeing their Third Uncle saved, cast their gazes toward Lin Yu, filled with a bit of schadenfreude.

Clearly, they believed the arrival of the Medical Immortal would reveal Lin Yu's true face.

And Xu Chen intended to take this opportunity to force Lin Yu to take full responsibility.

His son, Xu Chen, hurriedly admitted his mistake: "Dad, I was wrong. I really didn't mean to; I was misled by him..."

Before he could finish speaking, his father, Xu Jianhua, was already furious and kicked him.

Xu Chen was caught off guard and fell to the ground, his ears ringing with his father's scolding.

"Have you forgotten the words you promised to apologize to your Martial Uncle?"

Everyone now understood; it turned out that the Martial Uncle Xu Chen mentioned was actually the senior brother of that legendary Medical Immortal, Xu.

Today, the Ma family actually had two Medical Immortals visiting; they were truly blessed.

However, everyone looked left and right, but did not see the so-called senior brother of the Medical Immortal.

With doubt, Xu Chen asked through the pain: "Dad, where is my Martial Uncle?"

Xu Jianhua's heart was in turmoil. He had seen Lin Yu via video during the day and was shocked, worried that the longer things dragged on, the more variables there would be, so he immediately flew from the capital to Longcheng, fearing his son would cause more trouble.

In reality, Lin Yu's father was Xu Jianhua's master; this history was known only to the three of them.

At this moment, Xu Jianhua respectfully bowed to Lin Yu: "Martial Uncle, please allow me to apologize to you on behalf of my son."

Hearing this, Xu Chen's eyes widened, and he retorted in disbelief: "Dad, how could he possibly be my Martial Uncle?"

"Shut up, still daring to talk back? Kneel down and apologize to your Martial Uncle immediately," Xu Jianhua shouted sternly.

Lin Yu said calmly: "If an apology were useful, there would be no need for you to come personally. Handle it according to the rules!"

Xu Jianhua's body shook, remembering the strict regulations when he was learning his craft, and replied: "According to Master's regulations, those who make mistakes should be punished. But..."

Lin Yu continued coldly: "Then what are you waiting for?"

Facing his father's stern gaze, Xu Chen knelt down helplessly. He had never seen his father so serious, and more importantly, he did not want to suffer more severe consequences.

The entire Ma family was stunned by this scene; who could have imagined that the Master Lin who was suspected of being a swindler was actually the senior brother of Medical Immortal Xu?

Finally, someone could not help but ask: "Medical Immortal Xu, could this be a misunderstanding? How could he possibly be your senior brother?"

Xu Jianhua was not angry, but instead explained solemnly: "He is indeed my senior brother, and his medical skills are far above mine. It is your honor to be able to invite him; do not be ungrateful."

After hearing these words, everyone present was stunned, surprised that this young master actually possessed such a profound background.

Ma Yuanfeng reacted quickly, immediately cupping his hands and bowing, saying with the most sincere attitude: "Master Lin, if you can cure my father, I am willing to pay one billion as a reward."

Ma Yuanfeng was about to have Long Wu prepare the huge sum, but saw that although the younger generation of the family had objections, no one dared to speak.

At this time, Lin Yu firmly refused: "I have already said, I have no interest in money. Tomorrow, I will personally diagnose and treat Pavilion Master Ma."

Hearing that Lin Yu was willing to help, Ma Yuanfeng smiled and cupped his hands in thanks: "I am deeply grateful, Master Lin, but the reward must still be given."

"No need to repeat," Lin Yu said, looking slightly impatient. "I don't want to say it a second time, otherwise I will leave right now."

Once this was said, everyone in the Ma family was shocked. You must know, that was an astronomical figure of one billion! For most people, it would be hard to earn that much money in a lifetime, yet Lin Yu had refused it so casually.

Although dissatisfied in his heart, Ma Yuanfeng wisely chose to remain silent, fearing that Lin Yu would really walk away.

Subsequently, Lin Yu's gaze fell on the kneeling Xu Chen, and he walked slowly to Xu Jianhua, saying with a bit of playfulness:

"Little Xu, why haven't you acted yet? It's just breaking a leg; it won't leave him permanently disabled. If you can't bring yourself to do it, then let me do it!"

Calling the fifty-year-old Xu Jianhua "Little Xu"—this behavior made the Ma family members present feel it was absurd; Lin Yu's arrogance seemed to have no boundaries.

"Martial Uncle, please don't joke. He is my only son; please show mercy," Xu Jianhua said, almost pleading, his attitude humble to the extreme.

Facing Lin Yu's counter-question, Xu Jianhua did not answer, but his default attitude indicated that he believed Lin Yu was indeed protecting his son.

"Think about what would have happened to him if I hadn't appeared today?" Lin Yu's words made Xu Jianhua shudder, tears welling up in his eyes; if Pavilion Master Ma had died, Xu Chen would have been retaliated against.

At this moment, Xu Jianhua finally understood Lin Yu's good intentions.

"Thank you, Martial Uncle; I won't trouble you with this matter," he said, and then, ignoring his son's pleas, took a wooden stick and struck down at Xu Chen's leg...

A crisp sound accompanied Xu Chen's scream, and the sound of breaking bone was chilling. Xu Jianhua's technique was astonishing, and he quickly set the broken leg back; during this process, Xu Chen's screams were constant, making one's heart tremble.

Lin Yu watched coldly from the side, his tone calm but firm: "Remember this lesson, and do not commit it again."

Xu Chen was in too much pain to speak, and could only glare at Lin Yu with fierce eyes.

And Xu Jianhua said gratefully to Lin Yu: "Thank you for the reminder, Martial Uncle; in the future, I will teach him more carefully."
