My Ares Son-in-Law
Chapter 5800: Evil intentions
"Do you know who this is?" There was a hint of solemnity and respect in his words.
"Xiao Xianren, Xiao the Divine Doctor, is a name that is well-known in the Holy Land of Penglai. His medical skills are so advanced that all doctors in the world can only dream of him. Every time he takes action, it is a respect and salvation for life. How can you, a young boy, make unwarranted accusations against him?"
Jiang Qingjiang's tone not only showed his utmost admiration for Xiao Xianren, but also contained a merciless mockery of Xiao Chen.
"Even in the secular world, Xiao Xianren is a distinguished guest that leaders from all countries are vying to invite. His influence and status are beyond your imagination. And you, a brat who is still wet behind the ears, dare to point fingers at such a medical master. It's ridiculous!"
Xiao Chen frowned, and tried to explain, but Jiang Qingjiang's cold eyes shot at him like a sword, blocking his words. Jiang Qingjiang's expression was full of displeasure and warning, and he turned his eyes to Jiang Qingtao on the side, with both blame and threat in his eyes.
"Boss, is this the person you brought?" Jiang Qingjiang's voice was low and powerful, and every word was like a heavy hammer hitting Jiang Qingtao's heart.
"You'd better discipline him and don't let him pretend to know something and cause trouble. This is a matter of life and death for the old man, and we can't afford to be careless. If his ignorance delays his treatment, can you bear the responsibility?"
At this point, Jiang Qingjiang's tone became a little more cold and threatening, "Or do you actually not want to give up the position of Patriarch at all, so you deliberately found this person to cause trouble, intending to let the old man die in despair, so that you can continue to sit firmly on the throne of Patriarch?"
His eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts, which made Jiang Qingtao shiver.
Hearing this, Jiang Qingtao's expression instantly became complicated and solemn, and a trace of struggle and helplessness flashed in his eyes, as if he was weighing some important decision.
Finally, he took a deep breath, made up his mind, grabbed Xiao Chen's sleeve, and walked out of the tent quickly and firmly, isolating the noise and tension of the outside world behind him.
Outside the tent, there was a cool breeze, bringing a bit of chill, but it also blew away the dullness inside the tent.
Jiang Qingtao stopped and turned to face Xiao Chen, his tone expressing both gratitude and apology:
"Mr. Xiao, you are my daughter's lifesaver. I, Jiang Qingtao, will always remember this kindness. I shouldn't have said those unpleasant words at this critical moment. But you also know that Xiao Xianren is the miracle doctor we invited after much trouble. His arrival has given our whole family great hope.
If it's because of your... Well, I don't mean to question your judgment, it's just..."
His words were filled with unspeakable bitterness and struggle, but in the end he stopped talking and chose to remain silent.
Seeing this, Xiao Chen curled up the corner of his mouth into a gentle smile. In that smile, there was both relief for Jiang Qingtao's understanding and indifference towards the situation.
"Uncle, I understand how you feel." He said softly, his tone revealing an unquestionable firmness.
"Since you are so filial to the old man, I am willing to say a few more words. Immortal Xiao is indeed a superb doctor, I don't deny that. But medical skills are just tools, the key lies in the person who uses it.
If his intentions are not right, even the most advanced medical skills can become a weapon that hurts people. That's why I have this reminder. Of course, this is just my personal opinion. You can listen to it or not. I just hope that the old man can be safe. "Xiao Chen shook his head gently, with a faint smile on his lips, but he said no more. Every word he said was sincere from the bottom of his heart. If it weren't for his indescribable affection for Jiang Qingtao and his recognition of Jiang Yulan's pure and kind character, he might really choose to remain silent and watch.
After all, in this strange land, the life and safety of an old man whom he had never met had little to do with him, the God of War wandering on the high seas.
His eyes were deep and complex, as if he was thinking about something, or recalling the past.
The vastness and prosperity of Dragon Country formed a sharp contrast with the desolation and unknown here, which made him feel a little emotional.
However, now that he is in a different place, he knows that he no longer needs to be as tense as before and always be ready to face unknown challenges. Here, he can temporarily put down the burden on his shoulders and enjoy a moment of peace and freedom.
Jiang Qingtao stood there, with mixed emotions in his heart. Xiao Chen's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting him hard in the heart, forcing him to re-examine his decision and position.
He was lost in deep thought, his brow furrowed, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.
Inside the tent, Xiao Xianren sneered with a disdainful attitude. He turned his head away, no longer paying attention to the subtle atmosphere between Xiao Chen and Jiang Qingtao, but focusing all his attention on the silver needle in his hand.
He skillfully inserted several needles in succession, and each needle was inserted into the acupuncture points of the old man of the Jiang family accurately. As time passed, about ten minutes later, miraculously, the condition of the old man of the Jiang family had improved significantly.
The violent shaking before had completely disappeared, and the tense body gradually relaxed, and there was even a trace of long-lost peace and tranquility on his face. This scene shocked everyone present, and at the same time, they admired Xiao Xianren's medical skills even more.
Xiao Xianren nodded with satisfaction, a smug smile on his lips, as if he had just completed a masterpiece.
He deliberately raised his voice and shouted provocatively outside the tent: "You little bastard who just dared to insult this great doctor, do you dare to come in and see for yourself whether my treatment is as useless as you said?"
There was a hint of provocation and mockery in his voice, and it was obvious that he was still upset about Xiao Chen's previous words.
Xiao Chen frowned when he heard this, and a cold look flashed in his eyes. He knew very well that this was not only a matter of personal honor and disgrace, but also a matter of life and death for an innocent old man.
So, he raised his foot without hesitation and stepped into the tent again, his steps firm and powerful. Seeing this, Jiang Qingtao felt uneasy, but hurriedly followed, fearing to miss any details.
After entering the tent, Xiao Chen's eyes quickly swept over the old man of the Jiang family lying on the bed. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he instantly captured the subtle changes in the old man. Ordinary people might not be able to detect it, but in the eyes of Xiao Chen, the God of War who had experienced countless life and death tests, nothing could escape his sight.
He clearly saw that although the old man seemed calm on the surface, there was an undercurrent surging in his body, and an ominous aura was quietly spreading. (End of this chapter)
