Chapter 611 Unexpected Developments
Hearing this, Elder Lu and Lu Jian looked up sharply. Upon seeing Chen Xuan, a look of joy spread across their faces, as if they had grasped a lifeline.
The two immediately rushed over, surrounding Chen Xuan, "Mr. Chen, it's so good that you're back!"
He Shuangshuang watched this scene, her brows furrowed, and she mumbled, "Why are they so happy he's back? As if he's so capable... Humph..."
Although Chen Xuan had demonstrated impressive medical skills earlier, due to her prejudice, He Shuangshuang still didn't believe him. Was Chen Xuan even more skilled than Elder Lu?
Could he defeat Li Jiajia, or Li Hongyan?
"Take your time and tell me what happened," Chen Xuan asked Elder Lu and Lu Jian.
Lu Jian opened his mouth, momentarily speechless, his face flushed red, unsure of what to say. He glanced at Elder Lu, "Grandpa, you tell him."
Elder Lu also blushed, sighing, "Mr. Chen, to be honest, after you left, Li Jiajia and Li Hongyan came to Renxin Medical Hall."
"They came back?"
Chen Xuan frowned.
But soon, he understood; it was to participate in the Medical Conference?
"What's going on?"
Elder Lu continued to recount the events to Chen Xuan.
It turned out that after Chen Xuan's departure, Li Hongyan and Li Jiajia had come to Renxin Medical Hall to challenge them.
Li Jiajia was the first to compete, and Elder Lu sent an intern to face her. After all, in Elder Lu's impression, Li Jiajia wasn't skilled in medicine. However, to his surprise, Li Jiajia defeated the intern with a single move, "Silver Needle Wagging."
Subsequently, Elder Lu sent He Shuangshuang, who also fell defeated. Lu Jian was enraged and wanted to stand up for He Shuangshuang, stepping forward to fight, but he was still defeated by Li Jiajia!
Finally, Elder Lu himself stepped in and defeated Li Jiajia. However, Li Hongyan also made a move afterward, and Elder Lu was no match for Li Hongyan.
Chen Xuan was also greatly astonished upon hearing this.
He hadn't expected that woman, Li Jiajia, to suddenly transform into a prodigy physician after not seeing her for a while!
Lu Jian's medical skills had improved significantly after his guidance. The fact that Li Jiajia was even stronger than Lu Jian was utterly unbelievable.
Elder Lu said with a solemn expression, "Besides that, I feel that Li Hongyan's medical skill is also terrifying. I think her strength might be even greater than Elder Huang!"
Elder Huang was the King of Medicine in Jiangnan!
Li Hongyan possessing strength comparable to Elder Huang was truly shocking!
Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes, somewhat puzzled as to why Li Hongyan's medical skills had improved so rapidly. However, no matter how powerful she was, what difference did it make?
"Mr. Chen, what should we do?"
After studying with Chen Xuan, Elder Lu had gained some confidence in winning the title of King of Medicine in Jiangnan. However, he hadn't expected Li Hongyan to emerge out of nowhere, and then there was Li Jiajia. If Li Jiajia participated in the youth division competition, she would undoubtedly defeat Lu Jian.
In that case, Renxin Medical Hall would not win a single championship, and all their hopes would be completely dashed.
Chen Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "Elder Lu, I apologize for the inconvenience this time. I will compete on your behalf."
"Really?"
Upon hearing this, Elder Lu looked at Chen Xuan sharply, his eyes filled with shock.
Chen Xuan had repeatedly stated before that he disliked being in the spotlight and that sending him and Lu Jian would suffice. Now, with Chen Xuan personally stepping forward, there was a significant chance of defeating Li Hongyan!
Similarly, Lu Jian was also excited. He knew Chen Xuan's strength better than anyone. If this were a game, Chen Xuan would be the final boss.
"Aren't you participating in the youth division competition just like us? What's the use?"
At this moment, He Shuangshuang pouted, not understanding why Elder Lu and Lu Jian were so happy.
Chen Xuan ignored He Shuangshuang's words. He couldn't afford to waste any more time. He looked at Lu Jian and said sternly, "Lu Jian, come with me for a moment."
Lu Jian instantly understood that Chen Xuan was about to impart some of his ultimate secret techniques to him. His face lit up with joy, and he trotted along with Chen Xuan into the building.
It wasn't until nightfall that Chen Xuan left Renxin Medical Hall.
Tomorrow was the fifteenth, and the moon in the night sky was large and round, like a white jade plate!
The moonlight, as fine as sand, seemed to drape the entire world in a silver veil.
Chen Xuan gazed at the white jade plate in the sky, his eyes narrowed, and he murmured, "Lu Jian, whether you can defeat Li Jiajia and win the championship in the youth division tomorrow depends on your comprehension!"
In the blink of an eye, a speeding car pierced the darkness.
Soon, Chen Xuan drove back to the Su family villa. He had a simple dinner and then sat on the sofa watching television.
Su Yunxi glanced at Chen Xuan and said, "Chen Xuan, have you heard about the Medical Conference happening tomorrow?"
Chen Xuan touched his nose and said, "Yes, I know. What's up?"
Su Yunxi took out a promotional flyer for the Medical Conference, saying with some worry, "It's nothing else, I just wanted to ask, with your judgment, do you think Elder Huang has a chance to win the title of King of Medicine in Jiangnan?"
The cover of this flyer prominently featured Elder Huang!
Clearly, many media outlets and pharmaceutical professionals believed Elder Huang was more likely to win the title of King of Medicine in Jiangnan. After all, Elder Huang had won the title for several consecutive years, and this time, Elder Huang's re-election seemed like a natural progression.
"Is there something bothering you?" Chen Xuan asked with a frown.
Su Yunxi's expression turned solemn, and she explained truthfully, "According to our original plan, our pharmaceutical company intended to invite Elder Huang to be the spokesperson for our products. But unexpectedly, after that incident, Elder Huang chose to join the Gu family, and our spokesperson plans fell through. We were planning to find a suitable spokesperson from the president of the Medical Association, as we're about to release a new drug."
Then, Su Yunxi rubbed her smooth forehead, a trace of worry appearing in her beautiful eyes, "Elder Huang joining the Gu family, and if he becomes King of Medicine again, the Gu family's stock will surely skyrocket, and they will also use their influence in the medical community to suppress Su Family Pharmaceuticals. This is also a troublesome matter."
In one go, Su Yunxi voiced all their worries and thoughts.
Hearing Su Yunxi's concerns, Chen Xuan smiled slightly and said, "I don't think Elder Huang has much chance of becoming the King of Medicine in Jiangnan."
This was the truth, Chen Xuan thought. Setting aside his own competition, even Li Hongyan was not a sure bet for Elder Huang.
"Really?" Su Yunxi was slightly taken aback.
"Yunxi, when have I ever lied to you?"
"I hope your prediction comes true."
Seeing this, Su Yunxi's beautiful eyes curved into a delightful smile.
Looking at Su Yunxi's smile, Chen Xuan smiled back knowingly, placed his hands behind his head, and leaned back on the sofa.
Gazing at the bright moon outside the window, Su Yunxi muttered to herself, "If Elder Huang can't defend his title as King of Medicine in Jiangnan, that would be truly great. Then we can find someone to endorse our new drug!"
Suddenly, Su Yunxi thought of something and looked at Chen Xuan, "By the way, Chen Xuan, who do you think has a better chance of becoming the King of Medicine in Jiangnan, Elder Lu? Or Professor Long? Or Medicine Granny?"
Chen Xuan thought to himself, Can I be the one?
But he said aloud, "It's hard to say. We'll find out tomorrow."
Su Yunxi smiled wryly and didn't say anything more. After all, medical duels were a form of competition and involved a degree of randomness. Little did she know that Chen Xuan was highly likely to ascend to the throne as the King of Medicine in Jiangnan tomorrow...
