The guards of the Zhang family were overjoyed, bursting into tears, “Young Master! Young Master, you can finally speak! You’re back to normal!”
Everyone else was equally shocked.
“Is the Young Master of the Zhang family really cured?!”
“Look at his face; it really does seem normal again!”
“Even the dark nails are gone! Could it be that the poison has been successfully neutralized?”
“What poison? Wasn’t he said to be possessed?”
“Dr. Wen said it was poisoning!”
“But Dr. Wen couldn’t cure him either! He just said there was no cure for Young Master Zhang!”
The crowd was abuzz with discussion, while Young Master Zhang looked completely bewildered, clearly having no memory of what had happened to him during this period.
Wen Qingchen walked over with a smile and shook the confused Young Master Zhang’s hand. “Congratulations, Young Master Zhang. Your illness is cured. With some rest and proper care, you’ll fully recover soon.”
Young Master Zhang responded in a daze, “… Alright, thank you.”
After a brief pause, he muttered in confusion, “What illness did I have…?”
Before he could finish his sentence, Nangong Yan abruptly pulled his hand away.
“What are you doing, getting handsy like that?” Nangong Yan said with a dark expression. “Mr. Chen, there’s still a chance he might have residual toxins in his body, so you shouldn’t touch him carelessly!”
Hmph! The moment he wakes up, he starts getting handsy with Mr. Chen? How annoying these Zhang family members are!
Do they think there’s no one else in Tang City?!
Receiving a fierce glare from Nangong Yan, Young Master Zhang was left even more bewildered: “???”
What did I do?
What illness did I have?
I wasn’t getting handsy; it was clearly this young man who came over and grabbed my hand!
Young Master Zhang was utterly confused.
Nangong Yan, however, was impatiently starting to shoo them away. “Since the illness is cured, you should leave quickly. Take your young master back home so Mr. Chen can tend to other patients without being disturbed.”
The guards from the Zhang and Mu families exchanged glances. Seeing that Young Master Zhang had indeed recovered, they were eager to return home with the good news. So, they quickly carried Mu An and Young Master Zhang away.
Wen Qingchen turned to Wen Zhaoping with a smile, “Oh, Dr. Wen, what were you saying just now? I didn’t quite catch that. Could you repeat it?”
Wen Zhaoping’s expression turned sour.
He could hardly believe that Young Master Zhang had actually been cured by Chen Qing!
How could this be possible?
When Young Master Zhang had come to him for treatment, Wen Zhaoping knew that the illness was extraordinarily strange. The citizens of Tang City were right—it did seem like he was cursed.
But how had Chen Qing managed to cure him?
No, it couldn’t be that simple. Young Master Zhang must only appear to be better now. Surely, the illness would recur in a few days. Yes, that must be it!
Wen Zhaoping’s face shifted from green to pale as he faced Wen Qingchen’s teasing gaze. Feeling humiliated in front of the townspeople, he reluctantly said, “Mr. Chen, your medical skills are truly remarkable. It seems the younger generation is becoming more and more impressive. I’m in awe!”
Unable to bear staying any longer, Wen Zhaoping hurriedly excused himself and left.
From that day onward, news began to spread throughout Tang City about a healer named Chen Qing, whose medical skills rivaled those of the renowned Dr. Wen.
Some people were skeptical. Could this youthful-looking Chen Qing really be that skilled? Could he have truly cured Young Master Zhang of the Mu family, a case that even Dr. Wen couldn’t solve?
Despite the doubts, from that day on, more and more patients began to visit the *Sai Hua Tuo* Clinic. Especially when the lines at the Wen Clinic grew long, people would choose to go to the *Sai Hua Tuo* Clinic across the street instead.
The Wen Clinic lost quite a bit of business as a result, leaving the Wen family displeased.
Around this time, a secret opportunity for wealth quietly began to circulate in Tang City:
Someone was buying ancient books at high prices!
