Chapter 257 Not a Serpiginous Ulcer!_1

"You little fellow seem to know quite a bit, even more than some people who are ignorant of the world outside their well,"

Physician Jia spoke at a measured pace, taking the opportunity to belittle Li Hui along the way.

"Your master also attended that grand event back then."

Wei Wang began to speak slowly, his expression grave, "But according to him, he did not even rank in the top thousand."

"What?"

Li Hui’s eyes went blank.

He knew the level of his master.

If it weren’t for health reasons, his master would be the undisputed number one Divine Doctor in the provincial city!

Yet, he had never imagined that his master, when attending that so-called ancient medicine grand event, couldn’t even make it into the top thousand!

"Not even in the top thousand?"

Physician Jia raised an eyebrow. "I was intending to ask who your master is, but now it seems there’s no need. I’m sure I would not recognize someone whose medical skills are so poor."

Upon hearing these words, a look of indignation appeared on Wei Wang’s face instantly.

He had the utmost respect for his teacher in life, but now this person dared to insult his teacher so!

"What, can’t argue back so you resort to violence? Is that how you people are here?"

Physician Jia looked at Wei Wang with contempt and a disdainful sneer, "People like you are truly laughable."

Wei Wang glared angrily at Physician Jia, but after a few deep breaths, he relaxed.

Indeed, as Physician Jia had said, resorting to fists when failing to win an argument was nothing but impotent fury, only inviting further contempt.

"Is that all you have to say? If you’re done, I shall start the treatment. It will be a good opportunity for you to see and learn that there are always greater people in the world."

Physician Jia glanced at Wei Wang again, his attitude extremely haughty.

Wei Wang clenched his fists tightly but eventually released them, feeling powerless.

At that moment, the previously silent Yin Tian suddenly stepped forward, glaring intently at Physician Jia, "One of the one hundred great saints of ancient medicine, indeed a prestigious title, but I bet you’re also at a loss with this case."

Physician Jia’s eyebrows shot up.

He had initially admired Yin Tian for his extensive knowledge, but to his surprise, Yin Tian came out with such a statement immediately afterward.

He turned slowly to look at Yin Tian, "Say what you like. Whether I can cure it or not isn’t something you can decide just by opening your mouth."

"Then let’s wait and see."

Yin Tian shrugged, neither affirming nor denying Physician Jia’s words.

While Li Hui had been very dissatisfied with Yin Tian, he now desperately hoped that Yin Tian would step forward and help his teacher save face.

He approached Yin Tian, looking at him with great anticipation, "Yin Tian, why did you say that just now?"

Yin Tian glanced at Li Hui, guessing his thoughts.

With a slight smile, he said, "Because... this little guy isn’t sick at all."

Li Hui was stunned, then had a sudden moment of realization, "Could it be that this little guy is like Mr. Feng, cursed with vengeance?"

Yin Tian: "..."

How can this fellow’s imagination be so wild?

He’d only mentioned it in passing, and this fellow could link it to Mr. Feng!

"No."

Yin Tian slowly shook his head, denying Li Hui’s speculation.

"Then what is it? Spit it out, I’m dying of anxiety here."

Li Hui looked at Yin Tian anxiously, almost beside himself.

"All right, I don’t want to hear any more of this nonsense; my time is precious, and I don’t have so much leisure to waste on you people."

No sooner had Physician Jia spoken than he had already snatched the swaddle from Wei Wang’s hands and held it in his embrace.

He walked over to the sofa, placed the swaddle on it, and unwrapped it.

Inside, there was a small, tender little fellow who looked hilariously innocent and intriguing, although his eyes were red from crying. Now, laid on the sofa, he cried and fussed even more.

From the front, there didn’t seem to be anything wrong with the little guy’s body, but when Physician Jia flipped him over, even he couldn’t help but gasp.

There, on the little fellow’s back, starting near the waist, was a black vein showing through the skin, twisting upwards.

It looked just like...

A snake!

"Ah!!"

Upon seeing this, Li Hui was also shocked, and he couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath.

"Wow! Isn’t that a snake?"

Next to Yin Tian, Ye Qinghuang also cried out, then she grabbed Yin Tian’s arm and buried her face in his clothes, "I’m terrified of snakes!"

Yin Tian gently patted Ye Qinghuang’s back, reassuring her, "Don’t be scared, it’s not a real snake."

"I have seen my great-nephew before, and I thought it was serpent rash. I tried to treat it as I would for serpent rash, but it did nothing,"

Wei Wang also spoke softly to Yin Tian.

Physician Jia, however, looked deeply at the thing on the little fellow’s back and then spoke with finality.

"This is not serpent rash at all!"
