Peerless Medical Emperor

Chapter 198: Traitor Sun the Hunchback

When he said that, the two bodyguards who had been watching Sun the Hunchback shifted their focus back to Chen Qingdi.

A clear sense of hostility filled their eyes as they quickly drew their pistols. One of them even chambered a round.

Chen Qingdi was completely unfazed.

"Patriarch Luo, do you really think I'm interested in your daughter? I really don't understand what's so appealing about a dying woman suffering from such a bizarre illness!"

'When it comes to looks, can she even compare to my fiancée, Shen Mingyue?' he thought.

The look on his face infuriated Luo Tianfeng.

"Young Master Chen, if you truly possess a Spirit Medicine, just name your price! As for the treatment method, you can write that down, and we'll pay for it as well. The Luo Family has no shortage of skilled physicians; there's no need to trouble you to do it yourself!"

Chen Qingdi thought to himself, 'Since ancient times, a physician never offers their services uninvited. Since you don't trust me, I won't offer any help. The Patriarch has already agreed to arrange a funeral for his daughter, so there's no point in me staying. I'll take my leave!'

He turned to Divine Physician Situ and his son. "You two, with me!"

Having witnessed Chen Qingdi's capabilities, none of the bodyguards dared to stop him.

Just as Chen Qingdi reached the door, Sun the Hunchback suddenly lunged forward and grabbed his leg. Opening his bloody mouth, he tried to bite down on Chen Qingdi's thigh.

"Young Master, look out!"

Chen Qingdi's companions were terrified for him, but he just sneered. With a quick kick, he sent Sun the Hunchback flying onto his back.

He landed flat on his back, his limbs splayed out awkwardly. And since his face had been the first thing to meet Chen Qingdi's sole, a large shoe print was now stamped across it.

Chen Qingdi sneered.

"You wretch from the Evil God Sect, still trying to cause trouble! The Demon Flower Strange Heart Insect was your doing, wasn't it!"

Everyone's attention was captured by his words. Chen Qingdi pointed to a Cyan Gauze Pouch in the hunchback's hand.

"Inside that Cyan Gauze Pouch is a canvas wrap containing the eggs of the Demon Flower Strange Heart Insect. If you don't want to end up like Miss Luo, I suggest you don't touch this man!"

Before the man could open the pouch, a white blur shot from Chen Qingdi's hand. SWISH! The hand holding the Cyan Gauze Pouch was severed at the wrist.

Sun the Hunchback let out a pained scream and passed out.

Divine Physician Situ spoke up from the side. "Young Master, if that pouch truly contains the eggs of the Demon Flower Strange Heart Insect—a scourge that only brings harm to the world—how should we handle it?"

Chen Qingdi's expression grew solemn.

"If these eggs are activated by even a drop of blood, they will begin to grow and mature at an alarming rate. What's more, if exposed to wind, they will go airborne and invade the human body through the respiratory tract and even the pores. They are exceptionally dangerous!"

Faced with such a venomous creature, everyone subscribed to the "better safe than sorry" mentality. They were all too terrified to move a muscle.

Only Luo Ke voiced a doubt. "Young Master Chen, how can you be so sure that it contains the eggs of the Demon Flower Strange Heart Insect?"

Chen Qingdi shot him an icy glance.

"If you don't believe me, go ahead and grab that Cyan Gauze Pouch. Swallow some of its contents!"

Luo Ke's face flushed red, and he was left speechless. Though clearly indignant, he didn't dare approach Sun the Hunchback or the Cyan Gauze Pouch beside him.

Chen Qingdi turned to Situ Yun.

"The canvas wrap inside the Cyan Gauze Pouch is treated with a special medicine to keep the eggs dormant. As long as the pouch itself isn't opened, it's safe. Go sever that disgusting hand completely and bring the pouch to me."

Situ Yun had no desire to retrieve the pouch, but he felt that to refuse would be unworthy of his title as a Divine Physician. He had no choice but to go.

However, he first put on a pair of Deer Hide Gloves and covered his mouth and nose with several surgical masks. Only then did he carefully finish severing the hand, retrieve the Cyan Gauze Pouch, and hand it to Chen Qingdi.

Chen Qingdi circulated his True Energy, forming a three-foot-wide wall of energy around himself that would ward off any toxins, pests, or Hidden Weapons.

Holding the Cyan Gauze Pouch, he walked over to Sun the Hunchback. He used a Divine Needle to seal several acupoints and stop the bleeding, then took out some gauze to bandage the wound.

Then, he used a Willow Leaf Blade to slice open the front of Sun the Hunchback's shirt, revealing a faint, dark, six-pointed star tattooed on his chest.

He turned to Luo Tianfeng. "Patriarch Luo, have you ever seen a tattoo like this?"

Luo Tianfeng shook his head. "What is it?"

Chen Qingdi's voice was low. "This is the mark of the Evil God Sect. Anyone who bears this tattoo is considered an enemy to be killed on sight."

Luo Tianfeng was clearly skeptical. "And how would you know about this?"

Chen Qingdi didn't explain. He gently opened the Cyan Gauze Pouch, then the sealed packet within. To prevent the stabilizing agent from evaporating and activating the eggs, he quickly enveloped the entire thing in another wall of energy.

He then used his Willow Leaf Blade to carefully pick out a few of the eggs and place them inside Sun the Hunchback's nostrils.

The process was fraught with danger. As if by unspoken agreement, everyone took out masks and put them on.

Just then, the crowd watched in horror as an unnatural flower bud bloomed on Sun the Hunchback's face!

Fueled by the man's blood, the bud burst open into a bizarre flower—identical to the one on Miss Luo! Everyone present, except for Chen Qingdi, was utterly stunned.

"It really is the Demon Flower Strange Heart Insect! That Sun the Hunchback really is a spy!"

Luo Tianfeng gritted his teeth and ordered the two bodyguards.

"Go over there and hack that traitor to pieces!"

Chen Qingdi said calmly, "His entire body is toxic. If you want to end up like him, by all means, go ahead."

The bodyguards talked tough, but their legs were more honest—they couldn't stop themselves from backing away.

The corners of Chen Qingdi's mouth lifted into a mocking smirk.

"Young Masters of the Luo Family, I wasn't spouting nonsense. This man is indeed the one who tried to murder Miss Luo!"

Luo Bin and Luo Ke were beet-red with shame. Luo Tianfeng shot them a vicious glare before leading his two bumbling sons over to Chen Qingdi and giving a deep bow.

"We were blind to your greatness and have offended you, Divine Physician Chen. Please forgive our ignorance! I beg you, show mercy and save my daughter!"

His two sons also offered their sincere apologies to Chen Qingdi.

At this point, Chen Qingdi was more concerned with Sun the Hunchback's origins than the verbal slights, which he didn't hold much of a grudge over.

"There is no need for such formality. Since I am here, I will naturally save her."

Just then, one of the bodyguards came forward for instructions.

"Patriarch, what should we do with the traitor, Sun the Hunchback?"

Given the peculiar circumstances surrounding the traitor, Luo Tianfeng didn't dare act on his own. He turned to look at Chen Qingdi.
