Chapter 480 Only Chen Xuan Can Treat
Elder Ruan?
"Elder Ruan, you're here, that's wonderful!"
Old Master Gu quickly greeted him with a smile.
Elder Ruan merely nodded faintly, carrying himself with an air of importance.
Old Master Gu surveyed everyone, "Allow me to introduce everyone, this is Elder Ruan, the divine physician Ruan. He is a divine physician at Renxin Medical Hall, and his medical skills at Renxin Medical Hall are second only to the divine physician Lu, who is currently away." wΑp.kanshu伍.net
Many had heard of Elder Ruan's reputation. Even those so-called experts and professors, along with the dean of Shengxin Hospital, looked at Elder Ruan with admiration.
As everyone knew, Elder Ruan's ancestors were imperial physicians to the court!
Seeing everyone's expressions, Old Master Gu was quite pleased. His gaze swept over Chen Xuan, and he sneered, "Chen Xuan, didn't you say reputation is useless? If you have the guts, say it again now?"
Chen Xuan?
Elder Ruan, who had an arrogant expression, heard this name, and his eyes showed intense fluctuations. He turned his head to look, and his heart trembled violently.
Chen Xuan smiled faintly, "If reputation were useful, pigs would be able to practice medicine."
Old Master Gu's face turned green and white with anger.
This was clearly insulting renowned physicians as pigs.
"Hmph, just be stubborn!"
Old Master Gu didn't want to waste any more time, as Elder Fu was in critical condition.
He looked at Elder Ruan and extended his hand, "Elder Ruan, please hurry and examine Elder Fu!"
"Mr. Chen, I didn't expect you to be here as well!"
Unexpectedly, Elder Ruan ignored Old Master Gu and turned to greet Chen Xuan.
In an instant, everyone froze, staring at the scene in astonishment.
Old Master Gu's smile also stiffened on his face.
Could Elder Ruan know Chen Xuan?
"Mmm..."
Chen Xuan nodded faintly.
Old Master Gu took a breath, "Elder Ruan, you know him?"
"Not only do we know each other, but we're also quite familiar!" Elder Ruan said with a smile.
Old Master Gu swallowed again.
However, even if they knew each other, it was probably because of the Su family.
He said faintly, "Elder Ruan, let's examine Elder Fu first."
Elder Ruan was about to get up to examine the patient, but he stopped. He glanced at Chen Xuan, then said with a wry smile, "I can't treat this illness."
"Elder Ruan? What do you mean?" Old Master Gu was stunned.
Fu Lingyun also said, "Elder Ruan, you haven't even examined him yet, how can you say you can't treat it?"
Fu Qingping also frowned.
All eyes were focused on Elder Ruan, filled with surprise.
Elder Ruan shook his head, "Mr. Chen should have examined him earlier. If Mr. Chen cannot cure this illness, then I am likely powerless as well."
Chen Xuan had completely convinced him yesterday with his exquisite bone-setting technique. He was feeling rather depressed, but that night, he received a personal call from Elder Lu, whose intention was naturally to warn Elder Ruan not to oppose Chen Xuan, and that Chen Xuan was a true master who hid his abilities.
Elder Ruan also learned that Elder Lu's proficiency in the Taiji Divine Needles was taught by Chen Xuan. The last trace of unwillingness in Elder Ruan's heart completely dissipated.
After all, the wise are teachers!
Whoosh!
All eyes immediately converged on Chen Xuan, their expressions varied.
Didn't these words imply that Elder Ruan was inferior to Chen Xuan?
"Elder Ruan, are you kidding?"
Old Master Gu swallowed.
He still didn't believe Elder Ruan was inferior to Chen Xuan, who was merely a live-in son-in-law.
Elder Ruan's old face turned cold, "A joke? I, Elder Ruan, am not so shameless as to use my own reputation to inflate someone else's status!"
As soon as he said this, it was like a slap in the face to Old Master Gu.
Elder Ruan admitted that his medical skills were inferior to Chen Xuan's!
Fu Qingping was filled with regret, and Fu Lingyun's expression was also awkward.
Everyone had thought that the divine physician invited by Old Master Gu far surpassed Chen Xuan, but they never imagined that Chen Xuan's medical skills would actually exceed Elder Ruan's. It was too unbelievable.
Elder Fu was critically ill, and the only chance they had must be given to Chen Xuan, who had superior medical skills!
By the time the Fu family reacted and prepared to turn around to beg Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan had already left the ward.
Fu Lingyun gritted his teeth, "Sister, I'll go and invite Mr. Chen..."
Fu Qingping gave a bitter smile and shook her head, "It's too late."
"Uh..."
Fu Lingyun felt as if his throat had been choked, his face ashen.
Then, Fu Qingping looked at Elder Ruan and pleaded, "Elder Ruan, to be honest, Mr. Chen did not examine my father. I hope you can examine my father."
"Oh?"
Elder Ruan was startled.
Being a shrewd person, he naturally realized that the Fu family had inadvertently offended Chen Xuan.
Logically, he shouldn't get involved, but this was the Fu family, and if he could forge a connection with the Fu family, he would be quite willing.
"Elder Ruan, are you willing to give it a try?" Fu Qingping earnestly asked.
"Let's give it a try!"
Elder Ruan nodded with some difficulty.
Then, surrounded by the Fu family, Elder Ruan approached the sickbed.
He gently took Elder Fu's wrist and began to feel his pulse.
Old Master Gu also looked on expectantly. If Elder Ruan cured Elder Fu, he would also get credit.
A moment later, Elder Ruan's eyes lit up, and he slowly withdrew his hand.
"How is my father?"
"How is Elder Fu?"
All eyes were focused on Elder Ruan.
"Elder Fu can still be saved! He can still be saved!"
Elder Ruan stood up and said excitedly.
"That's great!"
Everyone cheered.
Old Master Gu was also filled with excitement, as if he could already see the Fu family treating him as an honored guest.
Chen Xuan, oh Chen Xuan, no matter how brilliant your medical skills are, the credit will ultimately be mine!
However, Elder Ruan's next words were like the bitter cold of winter, pouring a basin of cold water over Old Master Gu's head.
Fu Lingyun quickly said, "Elder Ruan, please treat my father. As long as you cure my father's illness, I will ensure your consultation fee is satisfactory."
Elder Ruan remained motionless.
"What's wrong, Elder Ruan? Just name your conditions!"
Elder Ruan said with a wry smile, "Elder Fu can be saved, but you need to go and invite Mr. Chen!"
"What?"
Everyone's hearts trembled.
"Elder Ruan, what do you mean by that? How can only he save Elder Fu?" Old Master Gu gritted his teeth.
Elder Ruan explained, "Elder Fu's Yin and Yang are unbalanced, like a state of chaos. Moreover, his life hangs by a thread. Only the fourth needle of the Taiji Divine Needles, 'Hui Chun' (Spring Return), can save Elder Fu. Mr. Chen happens to be able to perform the fourth needle, Hui Chun."
"Taiji Divine Needles?"
Old Master Gu frowned, "I remember Divine Physician Lu can perform the Taiji Divine Needles."
"Elder Lu can, but Elder Lu is in the capital, not in the provincial capital. Distant water cannot quench a nearby fire. In the entire provincial capital, only Mr. Chen can perform the fourth needle, Hui Chun!"
Upon hearing this, the surroundings fell silent.
Everyone exchanged glances, none of them expected that the person they had driven away would ultimately become the only one who could save Elder Fu's life.
Fate plays tricks on people.
The four words "fate plays tricks on people" appeared in the minds of the Fu family members in unison!
Fu Lingyun regretted it to the point his face turned green. If he had chosen to believe Chen Xuan earlier, or treated Chen Xuan a little better, it wouldn't have come to this situation.
Fu Qingping had the same thought.
If she had believed Chen Xuan when he asked her earlier, her father would likely have been saved by now.
Fu Lingyun gritted his teeth, "Sister, this is all my fault. I'll even kneel down to Mr. Chen today if I have to, just to invite Mr. Chen to treat my father."
Nothing was more important than his father's life!
With that, Fu Lingyun strode out of the ward.
At this moment, Chen Xuan had not yet left the hospital but had gone to the restroom. After he finished, he walked out of the restroom.
"There's a pervert! Catch the pervert!"
A sharp female scream suddenly rang out.
