Life is but a nightmare

Chapter 178 The Plea for a Beating Was Granted!

Zhou Xuan patted Lu Ling'er's small hand and shook his head, reassuring her.

"What? Miss Qin Er has that illness! Is it true or false!"

"No way! How could she catch that illness!"

"Isn't this ruining her life!"

The surrounding guests attending the banquet also heard Zhou Xuan's words. They had initially watched the infighting among the five great families from a distance.

But this news was too explosive, and they couldn't help but voice their reactions. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět

Miss Qin Er also heard the discussions from the crowd and immediately turned her head to see everyone clamoring, with no less than ten thousand people looking at her.

Each gaze was filled with pity.

Seeing the sympathetic looks from everyone, Miss Qin Er's eyes immediately welled up with tears.

When had she, Miss Qin Er, ever been in such a situation? She instantly felt wronged.

"Miss Qin Er, you need to exercise restraint!"

Fang Ruolin almost burst out laughing upon hearing Zhou Xuan's words.

The other party was clearly targeting her grandfather's birthday banquet and was obviously there to cause trouble.

But before they could even start, Zhou Xuan had delivered a fatal blow.

"Hmm! I knew it! Why was Miss Fang so concerned? It turns out she invited a charlatan!"

"You believe him just because a charlatan said a few words? How ridiculous!"

"Is that true or not, Miss Qin Da?"

Just as everyone was feeling sympathetic towards Miss Qin Er, a dashing young man emerged from behind. Third Master Qin walked forward.

He looked at Zhou Xuan with disdain and said to those around him.

"Oh! So he's a charlatan!"

"Yes! What a scare! Miss Qin Er is a lady of good breeding, how could she possibly contract this illness?"

"Exactly, I thought she had caught it!"

For many guests, they immediately dismissed the news.

They felt that what Third Master Qin said made sense, and considering the other party was from a noble family, their protection in this regard should be very good, so they assumed it was false.

Upon seeing the dashing young man approaching, Baili Yuntian's pupils constricted. He immediately whispered to Zhou Xuan.

"That's Third Master Qin, known as the Smiling Tiger! Be careful!"

Lu Ling'er was also very nervous, her hand gripping Zhou Xuan's tightly, her palm already covered in nervous sweat.

"Smiling Tiger!"

Zhou Xuan heard this and nodded. He also saw Baili Yuntian's caution and fear towards Third Master Qin, even daring not to face him directly.

The Fang Ruolin siblings hadn't expected so many juniors from the Qin family to show up. Facing the other party's easy de-escalation, they immediately spoke up.

However, before they could utter a word, Zhou Xuan had already spoken.

Zhou Xuan knew that since he had already spoken, the rift was already formed today, and he no longer intended to hide anything.

"Oh, really? Itching, worse at night, photophobia, qi and blood decline, irritability."

Zhou Xuan did not argue with the other party but directly stated the symptoms.

At first, Miss Qin Er was relatively composed, as these were all things she could avoid or endure.

However, when it came to irritability, Miss Qin Er could no longer hold back.

"Enough!"

Because Zhou Xuan's every word hit the mark, it was too accurate, perfectly reflecting her current state.

She feared that if Zhou Xuan continued, she would lose the courage to live.

Miss Qin Er's reaction immediately made them understand that what this young man said was likely true.

Miss Qin Er indeed had that illness.

Everyone immediately turned their heads to look at Zhou Xuan.

Their expressions turned to horror. Looking at Zhou Xuan, who was so young and seemed to have little experience in the world.

But at this moment, looking at Zhou Xuan, they felt as if they were looking at the King of Hell, and they all retreated a step in fear.

They were also afraid that Zhou Xuan would glance at them and discover they had contracted this strange illness.

Having it was a small matter, but being exposed in front of so many people was a complete loss of face.

"Who... who are you?"

Third Master Qin finally revealed an angry glint in his eyes, his gaze fiery as he looked at Zhou Xuan, as if he wanted to devour him.

He had initially intended to rescue his sister, but under Zhou Xuan's words, his sister was unable to withstand the pressure and was directly condemned by the other party.

The exposure of contracting an illness, something that would bring disgrace to the entire family, in front of so many people was something he had never expected.

He felt a tinge of regret, wishing he had taken his sister away. Such casual remarks might have just led to a little discussion, but now...

"I am not talented, I only know a little bit of medicine!"

Zhou Xuan, facing the other party's murderous gaze, was completely unfazed and replied casually.

"What? Knows medicine?"

"Just a little! Is this just a little! He could tell just by looking, he's a divine doctor!"

"No way! How could he possibly have such high medical skills at such a young age?"

The other guests, while shocked by Miss Qin Er's indiscretion and subsequent illness, looked at Zhou Xuan's excessively young face and didn't believe he possessed such advanced medical skills.

They believed this might be a pre-arranged script by the Fang family, who had learned of Miss Qin Er's illness beforehand and decided to reveal it at this moment.

"Could it be that you were the one who cured Master Fang!"

Third Master Qin immediately thought of Master Fang in the past, who was rumored to have been saved by a divine doctor.

They had even set their sights on this divine doctor at the time and had sent people to investigate, but the Fang family did not reveal any information, so they had to return empty-handed.

Seeing that the other party could identify his sister's illness with just a glance, he immediately recalled these events.

"Yes! It was Brother Zhou Xuan who cured my grandfather's illness, otherwise, how could there be a birthday banquet today?"

Fang Linfan, seeing Third Master Qin's shocked expression, proudly revealed Zhou Xuan.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Fang Ruolin immediately gave her brother a sharp rap on the head, furious at her brother's unbridled tongue and disrespect towards their grandfather.

"What I said isn't true?"

Fang Linfan covered the back of his head, which had been hit by his sister, and said indignantly.

Seeing her brother's lack of remorse, Fang Ruolin was at a loss for what to do in her anger.

Today was her grandfather's birthday banquet; normally, she would have made Fang Linfan understand the consequences of his actions.

She shot him a fierce glare, then invited Zhou Xuan inside.

"What? He was the one who cured Master Fang!"

"My goodness, is that true! He's so young, can he really do that?"

"It's said that all the divine doctors couldn't cure Master Fang, and they searched the entire world. In the end, it was said a divine doctor cured him, and it turns out to be this person, but he's just too young!"

The guests looked at Zhou Xuan's retreating back, finding it hard to believe that Zhou Xuan could achieve such a feat.

However, Third Master Qin, seeing the Fang Ruolin siblings affectionately invite Zhou Xuan in, immediately knew that this was likely true.

"Damn it! It really is him!"

Third Master Qin gritted his teeth and glared fiercely at Zhou Xuan.

"This debt will be settled slowly!"

Third Master Qin gnashed his teeth and cast a look at Zhou Xuan, then turned and left angrily.

"What are you looking at? Get lost!"

Third Master Qin looked at the people who had been following his sister. It was one thing for them not to step forward and speak.

They had actually run away.
