My Ares Son-in-Law

"thump!"

Situ Lingsu knelt down again: "Please, Doctor Xiao, save my grandfather. I will do anything you ask, I will have no regrets."

"It's not that serious!"

Xiao Chen waved his hand, took out a pill from his storage ring, and handed it to Situ Shenzhen: "Eat this. This is an antidote pill that I developed. It was originally designed to treat the Bitter Sea Poison, but it hasn't been used in the mortal world for a long time. I didn't expect it would still come in handy. It's 10,000 spirit stones per pill, no bargaining. If you don't want it, then forget it!"

Without hesitation, Situ Lingsu grabbed the antidote pill and began to examine it.

After confirming that the antidote was safe, she immediately gave it to her grandfather, Situ Shenzhen, and then waited anxiously.

However, the pill was indeed miraculously effective, and she didn't have to wait long at all.

Just three minutes later, Situ Shenzhen suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, and his body immediately felt much better.

"It's amazing! I feel like all the toxins that were suppressed in my body were expelled instantly. If I had known that detoxification was so easy, I should have come to consult Dr. Xiao earlier. There was no need for me to keep tinkering at home."

Situ Shenzhen was overjoyed. He had already been notified by King Yama to report for duty, but unexpectedly, the problem was solved.

How could I not be happy?

"Grandpa, are you really alright? Don't lie to me!"

Situ Lingsu was still somewhat worried because the antidote was taking effect too quickly.

"Why worry about him? What you should be doing now is cleaning up the black blood your grandfather vomited."

Xiao Chen said calmly.

"Yes, yes, Lingsu, hurry up and get ready. Grandpa is really alright now. I'm not lying to you this time. You know how to diagnose by observation, so you should be able to tell that Grandpa's complexion is much better, right?"

Situ Shenzhen laughed.

Situ Lingsu carefully examined Situ Shenzhen and indeed found that the symptoms she had previously diagnosed had all disappeared.

It turns out that Situ Shenzhen's condition wasn't due to liver qi stagnation, but purely due to toxins.

She felt relieved and hurriedly went to clean up. After all, this was the Qin family's house, and she had to clean up the mess they made.

After cleaning up, Situ Lingsu came to Xiao Chen in a proper manner and bowed deeply: "Dr. Xiao, I was too ignorant. I lost this time, and I lost badly. I will definitely learn humbly in the future and strive to surpass you one day!"

"Hehe, you are considered top among your peers. Even those old legendary doctors may not be able to compare to you. Your talent is indeed one in a million, but traditional medicine is all-encompassing, and your knowledge is still a bit narrow. You should read more books and read more medical records in the future. Anyway, people who practice martial arts are generally older than ordinary people, so your future is still very promising!"

Xiao Chen looked at Situ Lingsu and smiled, saying, "However, it's probably impossible for you to surpass me, because you and I are not even on the same level."

The first part was praise, but the next sentence infuriated Situ Lingsu.

This proud little girl was unconvinced: "I admit I'm not as good as you now, but with my talent, do you think I won't be able to surpass you even a hundred years from now? You know, the learning resources in our Holy Land are terrifying!"

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "You can only see the holy land, but I can see even higher."

Situ Lingsu was about to say something when Situ Shenzhen stopped her: "Lingsu, how can you speak to such a master? Compared to us, this Doctor Xiao is like the moon and a candle. We are the candle, and he is the moon. Even if a candle tries its best its whole life, it can never become the moon." Situ Lingsu looked at her grandfather in shock. She never expected that her grandfather would have such a high opinion of Xiao Chen.

Bright moon and candlelight?
Are they really that insignificant?
However, before her shock could subside, Situ Shenzhen respectfully bowed to Xiao Chen: "Junior greets senior. Senior's medical skills today have truly broadened my horizons and saved my life. Junior is willing to become your disciple and learn medical skills from you. I will do my best to help you and will certainly not cause you any trouble!"

These words caused an awkward silence to fill the ward, tinged with shock.

Qin Ziang's brain completely shut down. What the hell is going on? The divine physician Situ Shenzhen from the Zhongnan Holy Land actually wants to become the apprentice of a mortal young man?
Wouldn't this become a laughing stock if word got out?
Does Situ Shenzhen have absolutely no shame? This is truly laughable!
Qin Xianglan was equally shocked. Good heavens, you're an old man in your sixties or seventies, and you want to become an apprentice of a young man in his twenties? Is that really necessary?

However, she was both shocked and delighted. If Xiao Chen's medical skills were not impressive, how could Situ Shenzhen be so willing to become his apprentice?

This means that my grandfather can definitely be cured as well.

I made the right choice this time.

"Grandpa, how could you try to take my master away from me?"

The most exaggerated reaction came from Situ Lingsu. She originally wanted to become Xiao Chen's apprentice, but her own grandfather, in a moment of folly, called himself a junior and became Xiao Chen's apprentice.

Isn't this blocking her path?

That's outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!

This is simply unacceptable.

"It's alright, it's alright. Becoming an apprentice isn't like recognizing a godfather. It's perfectly fine for us, grandfather and grandson, to become apprentices together!"

Situ Shenzhen smiled and said.

Situ Lingsu's eyes widened even more. When did her grandfather become so shameless?

"You don't need to argue anymore. It's impossible for me to take you as my disciples. Let me be frank: I can heal the sick and save lives, but I really can't teach and nurture people. Besides, I have more important things to do and simply don't have time to teach you. So don't even think about it."

Xiao Chen rejected it outright.

What a joke! I did a good deed to save someone, and now you want to take advantage of me? That's absolutely unacceptable.

Situ Shenzhen smiled wryly: "Teacher, you don't need to teach us anything personally. Just let us learn by your side. When you treat patients and save lives, let us watch. By observing and learning from you, we will naturally improve a lot. We will definitely not waste your time or cause you any trouble."

Hearing this, Situ Lingsu was stunned. Grandpa is amazing! He's really sticking to Xiao Chen. But when it comes to becoming an apprentice, you have to carry forward this shameless spirit. You must succeed in becoming an apprentice.

Although doing this might be a bit shameless, it would be good if it succeeded.

Xiao Chen was also shocked. This old man really had no shame. He shook his head helplessly: "It's absolutely impossible for me to become your apprentice. However, when I treat patients in the future, you can watch from the sidelines, but on the condition that you don't disturb my life. Otherwise, I will definitely not show any mercy!"

"Thank you so much for your help, teacher!"

Situ Shengzhen kept calling him "teacher" over and over, displaying his shamelessness to the extreme.

"Why thank me? Now let's get down to business. Your problem is solved, but what about your granddaughter, Situ Lingsu? When was she also assassinated?" (End of Chapter)
