My Ares Son-in-Law

"If you really have the ability to cure Zhao Chuanshen's illness, I will kowtow to you on the spot and take you as my master without saying anything! But if you are just bragging here, or you only know a little bit and can't cure Zhao Chuanshen at all, then you have to kowtow to me, admit your mistake, and apologize to me honestly!"

As Master Xue spoke, he folded his hands across his chest with a smug look on his face, as if he had already reached the pinnacle of victory and was certain that Xiao Chen was just showing off.

When Xiao Chen heard Xue Lao's extremely arrogant words, the sneer on his face became more obvious. He glanced at Xue Lao with contempt, as if he was looking at a funny clown.

He spoke slowly, his tone firm and steady: "Even if you take me as your master, I will not teach you the complete Snow Lotus Needle. With your arrogant and narrow-minded character, you are not qualified to be my apprentice. The way of medicine emphasizes medical ethics and mind, and your character is far from it!"

When Xiao Chen spoke, his eyes revealed an unquestionable majesty, as if he was declaring his absolute authority to Mr. Xue.

Old Xue was so angry at Xiao Chen's words that his whole body was shaking violently, his body was like a sieve, and his face turned purple and black, almost twisted out of shape.

He pointed his finger at Xiao Chen, his voice trembling so much that it almost changed its tone: "Who needs your teaching! What I mean is that I will treat you with courtesy whenever I see you in the future. Don't talk nonsense to me anymore. If you have the real ability, do it quickly. Let me see how capable you are. Don't embarrass yourself here!"

As Xue Lao spoke, he waved his arms wildly, as if he wanted to tear Xiao Chen into pieces.

"Hehe, you don't seem to take what I just said to heart at all." Xiao Chen chuckled, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, like a meteor across the night sky.

"I have already clearly stated that I not only know the Snow Lotus Needle, but I also know the complete and unreserved acupuncture method. However, treating Zhao Chuanshen's condition is a piece of cake for me. There is no need to use the Snow Lotus Needle. I only need to use ordinary acupuncture methods to make him fully recovered."

As Xiao Chen spoke, he narrowed his eyes slightly and showed a confident smile on his face, as if announcing his victory to the world. "As for you, you wanted to take this opportunity to secretly learn my needlework. Unfortunately, you don't have this chance anymore!"

Zhao Liangren, Zhao Chunhua and Cheng Tianan were all preoccupied with Zhao Chuanshen's illness. Their nerves were like extremely taut strings, and any slightest touch could cause them to break.

No one had expected that such a fierce conflict would suddenly break out between Xiao Chen and Xue Lao, and that such a shocking bet would be made. In an instant, their eyes widened like bells, their faces filled with disbelief and astonishment, their eyes shuttled back and forth between Xiao Chen and Xue Lao, as if they were witnessing a shocking duel that was enough to subvert their cognition.

Mr. Zhao opened his mouth slightly, as if his throat was choked by something. He wanted to speak, but was so shocked by the sudden change that he was speechless. He could only swallow subconsciously, making a dry sound.

Cheng Tianan frowned, his eyes revealing a hint of worry. He knew that once this bet was made, it would inevitably trigger a series of unpredictable chain reactions.

However, before the shock completely dissipated, they felt an irrepressible joy in their hearts. For a long time, Zhao Chuanshen's illness was like a towering mountain, weighing heavily on the hearts of the entire Zhao family, making it difficult to breathe.

Now, Xiao Chen's appearance and his confident assertion were like a ray of dazzling light in the endless darkness, allowing them to see the flame of hope. Even though this hope was accompanied by many unknowns and risks, for them who had been struggling on the edge of despair for a long time, this ray of light was already extremely precious. Zhao Chunhua was so excited that she could hardly control herself. Her eyes were shining with excitement, like the brightest stars in the night sky, as if as long as Xiao Chen took action immediately, her brother would be able to instantly recover his former health.

Her cheeks flushed bright red with excitement, and her hands were clenched tightly together, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

She could no longer suppress her anxiety, her voice trembling with excitement as she shouted at Xiao Chen: "Xiao Chen, what are you waiting for? Tell me how to treat my brother! Hurry up and cure him!"

While shouting, she took a big step forward, as if she wanted to push Xiao Chen to treat her brother herself.

When Xiao Chen heard Zhao Chunhua's call, he slowly turned his head and his gaze fell directly on her like the cold wind in the dead of winter, causing Zhao Chunhua to shiver instantly.

Xiao Chen frowned slightly, with a hint of dissatisfaction and sarcasm in his tone: "Do you know why you are not as good as Jiang Yixue? You have no manners at all, and you order others to do things as soon as you open your mouth. I have no relatives or friends with your Zhao family, and I don't owe you anything. Why should I be treated just because you say so? How much did you spend to hire that old Xue?"

When Xiao Chen spoke, he raised his chin slightly, and there was a hint of pride in his eyes, as if he was declaring to Zhao Chunhua that he was not someone who could be ordered around at will.

"Chunhua, calm down first." Seeing this, Zhao Liangren quickly stretched out his hand and stopped Zhao Chunhua who was about to rush forward. His voice was steady and powerful, with a kind of reassuring majesty.

Mr. Zhao turned his head and looked at Xiao Chen calmly with a polite smile on his face. He said, "Mr. Xiao, I'm really sorry. I was too impatient. I hope you can forgive me for any offense. My Zhao family really went through a lot of trouble to invite Elder Xue to come. Not only did we spend a full 30,000 low-grade spirit stones, but we also owed a huge favor to the Snow Lotus Sect. I'm afraid this debt of favor will be difficult to repay in the short term."

As Mr. Zhao spoke, he shook his head slightly, with a helpless smile on his face. That smile was full of his firm determination to do whatever it took for his son.

"You are willing to spend a lot of money, but it's a pity that Elder Xue's medical skills are limited and he can't solve the problem at all. Your money has been wasted. However, if you use it as a bargaining chip to establish a good relationship with the Xuelian Sect, it can be barely justified."

Xiao Chen nodded slightly, his expression still indifferent, as if all this had nothing to do with him. He paused for a moment, glanced at Zhao Liangren, and said slowly: "In this case, I should also talk about my remuneration."

When Xiao Chen spoke, his tone was neither hurried nor slow, but he had an aura that could not be ignored.

"First, I also want 30,000 low-grade spirit stones! Of course, if I can't cure your son, I won't take a penny. I'm much more generous than the Snow Lotus Sect!" Xiao Chen raised his chin slightly, with a gleam of confidence in his eyes, as if to announce to everyone that he was fully confident in his medical skills. (End of this chapter)
