Peerless Medical Emperor

Chapter 193: Miss Luo's Illness

Seeing the state Steward Lang was in, Luo Tianfeng grew anxious as well.

"Did you go to request Elder Divine Physician Situ's help?"

Luo Tianfeng asked.

"I did, but Divine Physician Situ refuses to come."

"After all, you captured his son."

Steward Lang said.

"Worst case, I'll just let his son go."

"Go and ask him again."

Luo Tianfeng said.

"Elder Divine Physician Situ really won't come, but I was able to get another Divine Physician from Jingxi, Zhao Daqian."

"Zhao Daqian is already waiting in the living room."

Steward Lang said.

"Good."

"I must go see him at once."

Luo Tianfeng said.

"Father, what should we do about... this?"

Luo Bin asked, looking at Luo Tianfeng.

"You all can handle it as you see fit."

Luo Tianfeng said coldly.

"My father may not have come, but I know a bit of medicine myself."

"I've been immersed in it since I was a child, after all."

Situ Yun said.

"Actually, I'm a doctor, too."

"I was the one who cured Patriarch Zheng's son of his strange illness."

Chen Qingdi added.

Luo Tianfeng was already on edge, what with his daughter's condition.

But hearing Situ Yun and Chen Qingdi both claim to be doctors, his mind suddenly shifted.

'That's right, that's right! How could I have forgotten?'

'One is the son of Elder Divine Physician Situ.'

'The other is Jingxi's new Divine Physician.'

'I've heard about the strange illness afflicting Patriarch Zheng's son. So many people came, but none could cure him.'

"I never thought it was you who cured him, Mr. Chen."

"If you can truly cure my daughter's illness, you can take Situ Yun and walk right out of here."

Luo Tianfeng said without hesitation.

"Deal."

Chen Qingdi smiled and nodded.

"Alright, all of you, stand down."

Luo Tianfeng said to the Luo Family experts.

The Luo Family's experts immediately withdrew.

They had no desire to fight Chen Qingdi to the death.

They were well aware of just how powerful Chen Qingdi was.

Situ Yun and Chen Qingdi, along with Luo Tianfeng and his two sons, went to one of the Luo Family's main halls.

In the hall, a man in his fifties or sixties was already waiting.

'This must be Zhao Daqian,' Chen Qingdi thought.

Zhao Daqian sat sprawled and imposing, a smug look on his face. While everyone else stood, he alone occupied a sofa off to the side.

"Divine Physician Zhao, we'll be counting on you."

Luo Tianfeng hurried over to Divine Physician Zhao and grasped his hand.

"I will do my best, of course."

"But my fee will have to be doubled."

"After all, I hear your daughter's illness has persisted for years without a cure."

Zhao Daqian said.

"Fine, fine, of course. How does ten million sound?"

"As long as you can cure my daughter."

Luo Tianfeng said with a smile.

"Deal."

Zhao Daqian nodded.

"In that case, please, Divine Physician Zhao, come and see my daughter."

Luo Tianfeng said.

"Very well."

Only then did Zhao Daqian slowly get to his feet, in no hurry at all.

The man's daughter was gravely ill—it was a matter of life and death—yet here he was, taking his sweet time.

Chen Qingdi's first impression of Zhao Daqian was extremely poor.

Led by Patriarch Luo, Zhao Daqian headed for the second floor.

Chen Qingdi and Situ Yun followed them.

"Hm? And who are these two young men?"

Zhao Daqian asked, looking toward Chen Qingdi and Situ Yun.

"They are also doctors I've invited. They're here to learn from you."

Patriarch Luo said.

"That's right,"

Situ Yun added.

Zhao Daqian was extremely displeased to hear Patriarch Luo say this.

"Am I alone not enough?"

"Besides, my medical techniques are not something I teach to just anyone."

"Are they trying to steal my techniques?"

Zhao Daqian said coldly.

"No, no, no. This is Dr. Chen. He's the one who cured Patriarch Zheng's son of his strange illness."

"And this is Situ Yun, the son of Divine Physician Situ."

"They are both fine physicians in their own right."

"Since they happen to be here, let them take a look as well."

Patriarch Luo said.

With Luo Tianfeng having put it that way, it would be unreasonable for Zhao Daqian to refuse.

"Very well. Let them come and take a look, then."

In the end, Zhao Daqian could only nod.

Inside, however, Zhao Daqian was extremely reluctant to let Chen Qingdi and Situ Yun come along.

'After all, if I fail to cure her and they succeed, wouldn't the ten million end up in their hands?'

Seeing the jealous look on Zhao Daqian's face, Luo Tianfeng's expression flickered. He knew exactly what the man was thinking.

But fortunately, Zhao Daqian had ultimately agreed.

Situ Yun and Chen Qingdi followed Zhao Daqian into Miss Luo's sickroom.

The moment they stepped inside, the thick scent of traditional medicine hit them.

'It seems Miss Luo has been drinking herbal remedies for some time now.'

'But they clearly aren't working very well, or she wouldn't still be bedridden.'

As they approached Miss Luo's bed, Zhao Daqian cried out and stumbled back several steps.

"Wha-what is going on?"

Zhao Daqian was utterly shocked.

When Chen Qingdi and Situ Yun looked toward Miss Luo, they saw a strange, flower-like pattern on her face—a Demon Flower that emitted a reddish glow.

It was so bizarre that it would give anyone a fright.

"I don't know what's happening either."

"This Demon Flower pattern appeared on my daughter's face. She wakes for a short while each day, but she only speaks deliriously."

"And this Demon Flower... it started as just a small patch, but as her condition worsened, it has spread across her entire face and even to other parts of her body."

Luo Tianfeng said, his face etched with worry.

"Sis, wake up!"

Luo Bin said anxiously, looking at the comatose Luo.

"Father, how many times has she passed out today?"

Luo Ke asked.

"This is the sixth time," a servant caring for Miss Luo replied from the side.

Luo Tianfeng's face was filled with heartache.

"My dear daughter, please, wake up."

"Tell Divine Physician Zhao about your condition, about the pain."

Luo Tianfeng called out softly.

But after several calls, Miss Luo showed no reaction.

The eldest young lady of the Luo Family was named Luo Yunyan, a remarkable woman of exceptional talent and beauty.

It was precisely because of this remarkable woman that the Luo Family had prospered so greatly in recent years.

But now, she had fallen.

Only the members of the Luo Family truly knew her importance to them.

"Beauty like a celestial fairy, a presence as vast as a great river, and wisdom beyond compare"—such were the words the people of Jingxi used to describe the eldest young lady of the Luo Family.

Yet now she lay here, unable to rise.

Seeing his daughter in this state, Luo Tianfeng's heart ached even more, and he slowly turned his face away.
