My Ares Son-in-Law

Xiao Chen glanced at Situ Lingsu and sighed. She was still just a young girl; he didn't want her to be unable to handle the blow and have her life ruined. So he couldn't help but say, "Forget it, let's consider the bet we just made a friendly exchange."

"No, it doesn't matter if I lose or win. I haven't lost yet, I still have a chance to win!"

Situ Lingsu suddenly spoke loudly.

Xiao Chen's eyes sharpened: "Have you thought this through? If I hurt you and make you give up, I won't take responsibility!"

"I'm not that fragile!"

Situ Lingsu gritted her teeth and said.

"Alright, everyone else has seen it, so this time, why don't you come and see your grandfather and see how he is doing?"

Xiao Chen felt that he might be overthinking things. Given Situ Lingsu's personality, it was highly unlikely that she would commit suicide just because of a failure.

He realized he was overthinking things. The key was to win against this woman and end this pointless bet immediately, so he set his sights on Situ Shenzhen.

He had noticed something was wrong with Situ Shenzhen during his examination.

I guess this can be considered doing a good deed.

Situ Lingsu looked at her grandfather, Situ Shengzhen, with a complicated expression: "Grandpa, you've stayed up late again. Do you know that it's because of staying up late for so long that your liver is overburdened and you've developed many bad symptoms, such as fatigue and loss of appetite? I really hope you can live another hundred years."

Situ Shengzhen smiled and said, "Grandpa will listen to you. I've been staying up late lately because I have some materials to study. What you said is very good."
-
But when her gaze fell on Xiao Chen, she saw that he just smiled faintly and casually said, "You forgot three things."
-
One sentence instantly froze the atmosphere in the room once again.
-
Situ Lingsu's face instantly darkened, and she retorted defiantly, "What did I miss? I couldn't possibly have missed a diagnosis!"

"It's obvious you don't care much about your grandfather. His condition is much more serious than you think. Aren't you going to take a closer look? If I tell you, you might have no choice but to admit defeat. After all, he can't help me with my grandfather's affairs, can he?"

Xiao Chen said calmly.

Situ Lingsu stared wide-eyed at her grandfather in disbelief, but with her limited abilities, there were some things she simply couldn't see, and no matter how wide she stared, it wouldn't make a difference.

"I can't tell."

Situ Lingsu shook her head; this time, she was truly dejected.

Xiao Chen looked at Situ Shenzhen and said, "Your grandfather usually likes to try some herbs he has never seen before, right? It was because of this bad habit that he accidentally tasted a poisonous herb one time. Unfortunately, the poison of that herb was unprecedented in the world. Although it was not extremely poisonous and would not kill a person, it would continuously erode a person's body until it tormented him to death."

"You're saying my grandfather was poisoned? Impossible! How could I not know if my grandfather was poisoned?"

Situ Lingsu shouted.

But when she turned around, she suddenly noticed that her grandfather had lowered his head.

Although he didn't say anything, his expression clearly indicated that he had admitted it.

Situ Lingsu's head nearly exploded.

Grandpa was really poisoned?

She no longer cares about winning or losing; she cares more about her grandfather.

"Grandpa, why didn't you tell the family? The family can definitely cure you!"

Situ Lingsu said in horror.

Situ Shenzhen shook his head: "It's no use. Grandpa told the family, but even with the most skilled ancestor in traditional Chinese medicine, we can't remove the toxins from my body. The only way is to suppress them temporarily, but this stuff can't be suppressed for more than a few years. And once it's suppressed, it will spread a hundred times faster. At that time, Grandpa might not live for more than a few days." Situ Lingsu's pretty face turned deathly pale: "No, I don't want that! I don't want Grandpa to die! I want you to live!"

For her, her parents died early, and her grandfather was her only sky, sheltering her from the wind and rain and supporting her life. If her grandfather died, she felt that her sky was about to collapse.

At this moment, she finally became a real child, a helpless child, a poor little thing.

"Sigh, Lingsu, I didn't want to tell you this, but I didn't expect to meet a master here today and be seen through. Well, there's nothing I can do about it. I'll try to spend more time with you in the future. Even if I'm gone one day, you must live well. After all, you've grown up!"

Situ Shenzhen sighed.

"No! I don't want to, I don't want Grandpa to die!"

Situ Lingsu suddenly turned around and knelt down before Xiao Chen: "Dr. Xiao, I admit I lost. I am not as good as you. Please, please save my grandfather. I believe you can do it. I can give you spirit stones. I have plenty of spirit stones. Please!"

At this moment, Qin Zi'ang felt like his world had collapsed.

He used to mock Xiao Chen relentlessly, but now the genius doctor he used to praise is actually kneeling down before Xiao Chen.

The problem that even the Situ family couldn't solve now requires a mortal to solve—this is too surreal.

Qin Ziang felt his face burning and quietly hid at the back of the crowd, afraid of being pointed at and talked about again.

Qin Xianglan was extremely excited.

As expected of someone I trust; their methods and abilities are simply incredible.

He's even more amazing than I imagined; that's what a true master is like.

Situ Shenzhen smiled wryly and stepped forward to help Situ Lingsu up: "Silly child, if even our Situ family can't solve this problem, don't make things difficult for Doctor Xiao. Although Doctor Xiao's medical skills are superb, and even I admire him greatly, this kind of special toxin cannot be solved simply by having high medical skills. Get up quickly."

"Who told you I couldn't solve it?"

Xiao Chen suddenly spoke.

"what?"

Situ Shenzhen was suddenly stunned: "Dr. Xiao, we can't joke around, and we certainly can't make fun of an old man like me who has lived for so long. Although your medical skills are superb, this poison is really not something you can handle."

"Hehe, that's because you're inexperienced! I've already deduced what kind of poison it is from your symptoms, and coincidentally, I do recognize that poison, and I've even cured it more than once before!"

Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you should have been poisoned by the 'Bitter Sea Poison,' a toxin from the Ancient Sea Secret Realm that is specifically used to torture people. I guess you accidentally offended a master from the Bitter Sea Secret Realm, and they poisoned you to teach you a lesson."

"This...this...this..."

Situ Shenzhen was so excited that he couldn't speak. His Situ family had investigated for ten years before they found out that it was the Bitter Sea Poison.

There's nothing we can do even if we find out.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen recognized it as Bitter Sea Poison at a glance, which was too outrageous.

Could this young man be even more capable than I imagined? (End of Chapter)
