“Strange people?”
Sun Bing exchanged glances with Zhu Hong and Zhu Yuan beside him, and then all looked at Li Sisi.
Obviously, the three of them had not seen this woman in fine clothes when they met last time.
Li Sisi looked a little embarrassed and whispered to the three of them:
“You three immortals wait a moment, and I will explain to my mother.”
As she spoke, she saw Li Sisi walk forward and explain to the angry old lady:
“Mother, these three are highly paid miracle doctors I hired. They have a way to treat father’s serious illness!”
The old lady still had a furious expression on her face when she heard this and said:
“Sisi, I know your mood, but we can’t seek medical treatment in a hurry when we are sick!”
As she spoke, she saw the old lady raise her hand and point at Sun Bing:
“Look at this person’s clothes. He is not even as good as a quack doctor. How could he be a miracle doctor?”
This pharmacist Sun Bing is notoriously bad-tempered. If it were on ordinary days and being scolded like this while being pointed at the nose, he might have already slapped a person.
However, this time, for the sake of the Dragon-Slaying Association, he finally held back that hand which he usually used to slap people.
Seeing this, Zhu Hong and Zhu Yuan on the side wiped the sweat from their foreheads simultaneously.
He was really afraid that Sun Bing would slap that old lady.
At this time, Sun Bing, who had suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at the old lady with a smile and said:
“Old lady, don’t judge a person by his appearance. As for how my medical skills are, wouldn’t it be known by letting me enter the house to diagnose and treat the master?”
Sun Bing had never been so humble in his life.
Unexpectedly, that old lady was still extremely overbearing and said:
“No way. The master just took Doctor Liu’s medicine and fell asleep peacefully. There is no need for you to treat him!”
After hearing this, Sun Bing’s hand that wanted to slap someone couldn’t help but start trembling.
Immediately, the clan elder Zhu Hong on the side stepped forward and gently pressed the shoulder of Pharmacist Sun Bing. Then, looking at the old lady with a very sincere tone, he said:
“Old lady, the pills we prepared to treat Master Li’s serious illness are all ready, and we guarantee that the illness will be cured immediately upon taking the medicine!”
Zhu Yuan stepped forward and pressed the other shoulder of Sun Bing according to what he did, and added:
“If the illness cannot be cured immediately upon taking the medicine, we will not charge a penny!”
Seeing that the three immortals dared to make such a guarantee, Li Sisi immediately gained confidence and stepped forward and said:
“Mother, Imperial Physician Liu said that Father won’t live past three days. What harm would it do to let Divine Doctor Sun go in and diagnose Father?”
But even though Li Sisi’s words were so sincere, the old lady still blocked the door and refused to take a half step back:
“Today, with me here, none of you can disturb Imperial Physician Liu’s diagnosis!”
Seeing this, Li Sisi immediately became very anxious and said:
“Mother, what’s wrong with you today? Divine Doctor Sun really has a way to treat Father!”
Just as Li Sisi and the old lady were arguing, Sun Bing, who was held down on the left and right by Zhu Hong and Zhu Yuan respectively, after seeing the old lady’s somewhat manic look, instead calmed down.
He reached out and stroked his grizzled beard, stared at the old lady’s eyes without blinking, and murmured in a low voice:
“This old shrew’s pupil is cut by a bloodstain. This is a sign that the heart orifice is blocked. Could it be that someone has inserted a needle?”
If it were in the Upper Clear Realm, seeing this situation, Sun Bing would definitely think that this old lady’s mind has been disrupted by evil magic.
But since it is in this Immortal Burial Ruins, it can only be that someone has inserted a needle and blocked the heart orifice.
After hearing these words, Zhu Hong immediately said in confusion:
“Who would attack an old lady?”
But as soon as he asked this question, a name appeared in his mind——
“Physician Liu.”
Not only him, but at this time, Sun Bing and Zhu Yuan beside him also thought of that Physician Liu.
Zhu Yuan immediately asked the clan elder Zhu Hong in a low voice:
“Elder Hong, why don’t we just break in and rescue Li Sanguan, and then let Pharmacist Sun treat him.”
Before Zhu Hong could answer, he saw Pharmacist Sun Bing shaking his head and saying:
“It’s not appropriate, it’s not appropriate.”
Sun Bing explained:
Physician Liu should be beside Li Sanguan’s sickbed at this moment. If he has the intention to kill, going in so rashly will instead spoil the matter.”
Hearing this, both Zhu Hong and Zhu Yuan’s hearts tightened.
If Li Sanguan is gone and cannot complete Li Sisi’s petition, their trip to the Dragon-Slaying Association this time will probably come to an end.
Even the three of them can’t restore their own mana, so what’s the point of competing with other teams for the top?
Just at this moment, I also ended the quarrel with her mother and walked back to the three of them with a somewhat ugly expression.
Li Sisi said to the three of them with some embarrassment:
“Three immortals, my mother refuses to let us enter the house to treat him no matter what. At most, she only allows us to enter the house and take a distant look.”
“In my opinion, it’s better to wait until she and Physician Liu have left, and then we come to treat my father, just like last time.”
Upon hearing this, Sun Bing snorted coldly and said:
“Your father probably won’t be able to hold on until then.”
Just as Li Sisi’s face was tense, Sun Bing then said again:
“It’s okay to go in and take a look. It’s better than doing nothing.”
Zhu Yuan, the head of the Zhu family, also chimed in at this time:
“Pharmacist Sun is right. Let’s go in and take a look first.”
Seeing that they all wanted to go in, Li Sisi nodded and said:
“Well, I’ll take you in now.”
As she spoke, she turned around and looked far away at the old lady with a fierce look on her face and said:
“Mother, I promise you. We’ll just take a look from a distance and then come out.”
Although the old lady still had a displeased face, she finally opened the door reluctantly and said:
“It’s agreed. You can only take a look from a distance. Otherwise, I’ll have the servants lock them all up!”
Zhu Hong immediately laughed heartily and said:
“Don’t worry, old lady. We promise to just take a look from a distance.”
The old lady glared at Zhu Hong and said:
“Who’s the old lady? Call me Mrs. Zhu!”
Zhu Hong immediately smiled and cupped his hands and said:
“It’s my rudeness. Please forgive me, Mrs. Zhu.”
The moment the old lady turned around, Zhu Hong’s smiling face instantly fell, and he immediately said coldly in a low voice:
“I can’t believe that at my age, I still have to be scolded by a mortal old woman like this!”
He now fully understood Sun Bing’s mood of wanting to slap that old lady.
Sun Bing listened and couldn’t help but cover his mouth and chuckle. In a great mood, he followed Li Sisi into Li Sanguan’s bedroom.
As soon as he entered the room, a extremely strong herbal medicine smell assaulted his nostrils.
Pharmacist Sun Bing wrinkled his nose, then very disgustedly fanned his hand in front of his nose, and then said with a disgusted look on his face:
“Not to mention that the prescription for decocting this medicine is a complete mess, even the heat for decocting this medicine is completely wrong. When this kind of medicine is decocted, is it to save people or harm people?”
And just as Sun Bing was speaking in a low voice like this, suddenly a fierce shout was heard coming from the direction of the sickbed:
“Madam Zhu, didn’t I tell you that no outsiders are allowed to enter when I am diagnosing and treating?”
Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw a middle-aged man with a proper appearance and a small beard glaring angrily at Pharmacist Sun and them.
Madam Zhu immediately explained with caution:
“Imperial Physician Liu, please calm your anger. It’s my unfilial son who insisted on coming in to take a look. We will ask them to leave immediately!”
The attitude of this old lady when speaking to Imperial Physician Liu was completely like that of a servant.
This further strengthened Pharmacist Sun Bing’s original inference in his heart.
So before the old lady could come forward to drive them away, he immediately said to that Imperial Physician Liu with a contemptuous look on his face:
“Physician Liu, I have an old recipe handed down in my family that can cure Master Li completely. If you don’t believe it, I can ask Mrs. Zhu to pass it up to you and have a look.”
As he said this, Sun Bing took out a note from his sleeve.
At the same time, he casually has a silver needle under the note and whispered:
“Compared with me, Sun Bing, in playing with needles, you are still hundreds of thousands of years behind!”
