Miao Lao felt increasingly ashamed, wishing he could disappear into a crack in the ground.
Meanwhile, Er Zhu had let go of Miao Xiaoqian. She curled up in a corner, constantly touching herself, feeling a deep sense of shame even in her actions. The aphrodisiac was too potent, her reason had vanished, and she felt as though she were going mad.
"Brother Er Zhu, aren't you a divine doctor? Please, save me. I feel like I'm dying!"
Miao Xiaoqian couldn't bear it any longer. She crawled to Er Zhu's feet with all her might, repeatedly kowtowing and begging.
"Mr. Wang, why don't you save Xiaoqian first? Once her poison is gone, you can do whatever you wish with her!"
Seeing Miao Xiaoqian's suffering, Elder Miao’s heart softened. He frowned and pleaded.
"Alright." Er Zhu saw the red rim of Elder Miao's eyes and didn't want to push things too far. He nodded. The drug was indeed potent. If he didn't intervene, it would truly be a case of watching someone die and doing nothing.
"Thank you, Brother Er Zhu. Don't worry, I will never scheme against you again!"
Seeing Er Zhu nod, Miao Xiaoqian's eyes brightened, and the spark of hope within her was reignited!
Er Zhu ignored her. He took out a hollow silver needle and inserted it into the center of Miao Xiaoqian's chest.
"All the toxins will gather here. Through the needle, the poison will slowly seep out. You just lie on the ground and wait."
Er Zhu manipulated the silver needle while channeling true qi into Miao Xiaoqian. Watching the streams of true qi enter her body, Er Zhu finally let go. Instantly, Miao Xiaoqian felt as if her heart were being enveloped. Although her body was still hot, she could feel the heat gradually receding! It was miraculous. In just a few seconds, there was such a noticeable effect!
A trace of shock flashed in Miao Xiaoqian's grateful eyes. Her admiration and affection for Er Zhu grew rapidly, but she no longer dared to make a move.
On the other side, seeing that Miao Xiaoqian was no longer in as much pain, a flicker of shock also crossed Elder Miao's eyes. He had only heard that Er Zhu's medical skills were outstanding, truly a divine doctor. Seeing him today, he lived up to his reputation! No wonder Qing Lin Hospital had quickly become a renowned hospital in Liu Town within just one year. It was all well-deserved!
"Xiaoqian, where did you get this drug? Have you used it before?"
While shocked by Er Zhu's medical skills, Elder Miao suddenly thought of a crucial question. He frowned and asked.
"No, this drug was something my best friend asked me to help her buy. I haven't had a chance to give it to her yet..."
Miao Xiaoqian shook her head slightly, answering weakly.
"Hmph, Miao Xiaoqian, you are the greatest shame of our Miao family!"
Hearing this answer, Elder Miao was relieved. He glared fiercely at Miao Xiaoqian, gritting his teeth and scolding her. Miao Xiaoqian opened her mouth several times, wanting to explain, but thinking about what she had done, she didn't know what to say.
"Er Zhu, I am truly sorry this time. I'll leave this unfilial daughter to you. Do as you please, kill or skin her!"
Seeing Miao Xiaoqian remain silent, Elder Miao bowed deeply to Er Zhu again, apologizing sincerely.
"Killing is not necessary. You will go abroad. Without my permission, you are never to step foot in China again!"
Er Zhu waved his hand gently, his eyes fixed on Miao Xiaoqian. His tone was unquestionable, his gaze as cold as an ice cellar! The room fell into a deathly silence. Miao Xiaoqian looked at Er Zhu with shock and reluctance, never imagining he would deal with her in such a way!
"Wang Er Zhu, I love you so much, how could you bear to treat me like this!"
Miao Xiaoqian's eyes filled with tears as she looked at Er Zhu, her brow furrowed as she questioned him. But Er Zhu didn't even glance at her. There were many who liked him, but his heart belonged to only one person! Furthermore, liking someone was not an excuse to harm others! If Miao Xiaoqian could do this once, she could do it again and again. He had many important things to attend to and no time to entertain her constantly.
"Elder Miao, I have something else to attend to, so I'm leaving." Er Zhu ignored Miao Xiaoqian, removed the silver needle, bid farewell to Elder Miao, and strode away.
From then on, no one in Liu Town ever saw Miao Xiaoqian again. She seemed to have vanished into thin air. For a while, Miao Xiaoqian's departure abroad became a topic of discussion among Liu Town's socialites, but no one could figure out why she chose to leave.
One day, Elder Miao found a suitable candidate for the manager of a renovation company. Er Zhu appraised the composed and capable woman before him and nodded slightly.
"Er Zhu, a renovation company, and you're hiring a beautiful woman as general manager. What are you up to?"
As soon as Er Zhu finished giving instructions to the new manager, he saw Liu Yan leaning against the doorway, a smile on her face, playfully winking at him.
"Er Zhu, you haven't come to see me in so long. I miss you."
Before Er Zhu could reply, Lin Qingqing, leaning against the other side of the doorway, also blinked her big eyes, sending him flirtatious glances.
"Can you two sisters stop messing around? If you have something to say, say it." Er Zhu knew they were deliberately teasing him. He pouted speechlessly and steered the conversation back to the main topic. If one person teasing him was almost unbearable, two of them at once... if he couldn't resist and actually took advantage of them, it would be a real problem. Ah, it was a pity that the Luo Shen technique did not include any methods to cut off his romantic entanglements. If only it did...
"We don't have anything specific, we just heard that the annual martial arts competition is about to start and wanted you to come watch with us."
Liu Yan chuckled. As she spoke, she sat on the sofa closest to Er Zhu. Liu Town, as the birthplace of martial arts in North China Province, was teeming with masters. Liu Yan and Lin Qingqing came from martial arts families, but neither had any interest in martial arts, so they didn't inherit the family business. However, even though they hadn't inherited it, they still wanted to support the masters from their own martial arts school who were coming to compete.
"Er Zhu, the participants in this martial arts competition are all masters from China. Come with us, it will definitely be a worthwhile trip!"
Seeing Er Zhu hesitating, Lin Qingqing quickly ran to his other side and pleaded with him in a spoiled manner.
"Alright, I'll go watch." Er Zhu had intended to refuse, but thinking of Zhao's Martial Hall, he nodded.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the martial arts competition. Er Zhu brought the two women to Liu Town's largest martial arts arena. When they arrived, the venue was already packed with people, a lively scene.
"Tsk tsk, there are really a lot of people this year!"
As soon as the two women and Er Zhu sat down, Liu Yan scanned the masters on the field and sighed. Although their Liu family martial arts school was one of the top schools in Hua Bei City, she wondered how they would fare against so many masters. Lin Qingqing, on the other hand, said nothing. She meticulously observed each master, her brow furrowing deeper and deeper!
