Starting with a beautiful woman's private doctor

Chu Nan was extremely embarrassed. He had finished explaining his symptoms and was ready to leave, with no intention of staying to watch the show.

Putting aside the fact that the play was bad, now look what's happened—the eldest daughter-in-law of the Ming family has come to hold a grudge against him.

The problem is, he can't refute it yet. At the very least... in the current situation, it's better for him to pretend he's blind and deaf and act as if he hasn't felt anything.

A moment of silence fell over the courtyard.

Shen Rumei's roar echoed in the air, like the last cry of a bird whose throat had been choked.

After listening to the whole story, Old Master Ming's expression remained unchanged.

His back remained ramrod straight as he sat in his wheelchair, like a statue.

After a few moments of silence, the old man slowly spoke, "Have you finished speaking? Then take him away."

Xiao Jiang pulled Shen Rumei's hair again, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he waited for the next order.

"Peel off the skin, stuff it with straw, hang it in the backyard, and then summon all the wives of the wives and those ignorant relatives of the empress to come and see it."

Upon hearing this result, Shen Rumei was not afraid at all; instead, she burst into laughter again. "Hahaha, so what if I'm skinned alive? I did nothing wrong! The one who's wrong is you, you old fool! The one who's wrong is your Ming family! Everything I did was for Tianbao!"

She laughed and screamed like a madwoman, "What's wrong with me, as a mother, doing anything for my son's future!"

"Tell me what I did wrong! Your Ming family owes me, owes Tianbao! You all owe us!"

"boom!"

Old Master Ming slammed his palm on the ground, shattering the blue bricks and creating a small crater.

Stone fragments flew everywhere, and dust billowed up.

His face, which had been ashen, flashed with murderous intent for the first time. "Attack! Attack now!"

Without any hesitation, Xiao Jiang took out a row of knives from his waist.

The knives were of different sizes, each one polished to a gleaming shine, gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

Mingyanxuan and Mingyanzhao stepped forward and covered the eyes of their third and fifth sisters respectively.

Xiao Jiang walked up to Shen Rumei and squatted down.

He pressed down on Shen Rumei's nape with his left hand, and with his right hand holding the knife, he began to cut down her spine.

The sound of the blade slicing through the skin was extremely faint, like tearing a thin sheet of paper.

"Ugh—Ah!!!"

Shen Rumei's scream suddenly rose in pitch, "Bastard! You dog! What suffering haven't I, Shen Rumei, endured in my life? So what if I die? Come on! Keep going!"

Despite the urging, Xiao Jiang remained calm and measured, making each cut with great care.

Shen Rumei's body arched violently before crashing back down. "Bastard! If you have the guts... if you have the guts, give me a quick death—ah!!!"

As time went on, her attitude changed again, "Let me die...let me die...please give me a quick death..."

At this moment, Shen Rumei had completely lost the madness and resentment she had shown earlier, leaving only a plea that felt utterly shattered.

Xiao Jiang didn't stop. From the back of the neck to the waist, and then to the sides, his technique was as precise as peeling a piece of drawing paper.

Each cut was perfectly timed, avoiding vital organs while maximizing the pain.

Shen Rumei's pleas turned into screams, then into sobs, and finally into intermittent gasps.

And it's getting lighter and lighter, like an oil lamp that's about to burn out.

In the end, the entire skin was peeled off completely.

But Shen Rumei was still alive, her eyes bloodshot.

Her lips were moving, as if she was still saying something, but no one could hear her clearly.

"Hang this poisonous woman in the backyard. She must not die until all the other relatives from the other branches of the family have had their turn to see her!"

Xiao Jiang bowed and accepted the order, then dragged Shen Rumei outside.

A dark red mark was left on the ground, and Shen Rumei twitched occasionally as she was dragged.

Chu Nan witnessed the whole process, but surprisingly, he was more impressed by Xiao Jiang's professionalism and felt that the Ming family was not as glorious as it seemed on the surface.

As for other ideas, they didn't really come to mind.

After all, he had done dissections before when he was in school.

Ming Yanzhao took a deep breath and shouted into the courtyard, "What are you all still hiding for? Hurry up and clean up the scene!"

The next second, more than a dozen bodyguards sprang out from all directions.

This group of people acted extremely efficiently, cleaning the ground in the blink of an eye, and even replacing the floor tiles that Old Master Ming had just broken with new ones.

The whole process took less than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, and the courtyard was as if nothing had happened.

Mingyan Xuan and Mingyan Zhao then released their hands from protecting their two sisters.

The third sister and the fifth sister's faces were frighteningly pale, but neither of them dared to sob.

Old Master Ming took a deep breath, and the next second he put on a smile. "Dr. Chu, the matter happened so suddenly that you had to see our family scandal. I'm really sorry."

"That wicked woman not only offended your ears but also your eyes. I will have the accountant fetch some money to apologize to you."

Chu Nan patted the bundle at his waist. "No need. I've already gotten what I wanted. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

"I heard from the fourth brother that it's just a few medicinal herbs; how can we, the Ming family, express our gratitude?"

Old Master Ming smiled and said, "From now on, you, Doctor Chu, will be the best friend of the Ming family. Anyone who dares to touch you will be going against the Ming family."

"Although I am an old man, I should still have heard of those celestial beings."

"If there are any ignorant Celestials who dare to cause you trouble at the Extraordinary People Conference, I don't mind letting them understand once again what it means to be invincible below Celestials and to be one-for-one above Celestials."

Chu Nan's eyebrows twitched involuntarily.

The old man's precision in exerting his power just now was at least that of a Grandmaster.

But to say that I am invincible below the heavens and above the heavens is a bit of an exaggeration.

After all, even Chu Nan himself couldn't do what he said.

"I've remembered your words, sir. If there's any trouble, I'll contact you immediately," Chu Nan replied politely.

"Alright, we've already offended Doctor Chu's senses today. Fourth brother, go and see Doctor Chu off."

"Yes, Father."

Ming Yanzhao bowed and then left with Chu Nan.

Throughout the journey, Ming Yanzhao remained silent, as did Chu Nan.

What just happened is a family scandal for the Ming family. Old Master Ming can talk about it, but Ming Yanzhao may not be willing to discuss it again.

After all, some things you wouldn't normally remember, but if you talk about them too much, things can change.

However, upon reaching the door, Ming Yanzhao still spoke up, "Doctor Chu, do you have any doubts about my father's words?"

"What makes you say that?" Chu Nan pretended to be confused even though he knew the answer.

"It's normal for Doctor Chu not to believe it, since according to martial arts practitioners' understanding, there is no such thing as cross-border counterattack."

Ming Yanzhao changed the subject, "However, the saying 'I am invincible below the heavens and above the heavens, one for one' was indeed true for my father."

"His legs were crippled because he sacrificed them...to kill a celestial being!"
