Chapter 9

"Such a beautiful girl."

The woman who had chased after him was wearing a light pink silk dress that accentuated her curvaceous figure. Her black boots made her long, beautiful legs, hidden under the dress, appear even more elegant and attractive.

Ye Chenfeng had seen many beautiful women when he was young, but he had to admit that this woman, in terms of both temperament and appearance, was nearly perfect. Among the beauties he had seen, only Ji Qingsnow, the first beauty of the Purple Gold Imperial City, could be compared to her.

However, thinking of Ji Qingsnow, who was betrothed to him, and her astonishing talent, Ye Chenfeng gave a self-deprecating smile.

"Xia, you're crazy. This country bumpkin is clearly a fraud. You mustn't believe him," Lian Sanjun said, puzzled.

"May I ask, sir, what is your surname? From what you just said, do you really have the confidence to save my grandfather?"

In fact, Bai Xia didn't really believe that the young Ye Chenfeng had such extraordinary medical skills. However, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, she wouldn't give up, which was why she had chased after him.

"My surname is Chen. If I didn't have confidence, would I be here?" Ye Chenfeng said with an air of authority, making up a surname.

"Really? Sir, do you really have the confidence?"

Although Ye Chenfeng's attitude was not good, Bai Xia didn't mind and asked excitedly.

She was so excited because in recent days, many doctors had come to the Bai family, including the imperial physicians. However, Bai Xishan's injuries were very strange, and even the imperial physicians, who could bring the dead back to life, were at a loss.

"If this person wasn't here to obstruct, I should have a 60% chance. But with him here, I have at most a 20% chance," Ye Chenfeng glanced at Lian Sanjun, who was standing behind Bai Xia with a hostile expression, and said deliberately.

"You..."

Hearing Ye Chenfeng's words, Lian Sanjun was almost driven to the point of spitting blood. A raging fire burned in his heart, and his expression turned extremely dark.

"Without diagnosing the old master's condition, you dare to boast? Sir, aren't you being too arrogant?" the Bai family steward asked skeptically.

He absolutely did not believe that Ye Chenfeng's medical skills were better than those of the imperial physicians. He felt more and more that Ye Chenfeng was a fraud and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

"Because I have confidence in my medical skills," Ye Chenfeng said calmly. "Also, in the past month, whenever you practice, do you feel a headache, chest tightness, and restlessness?"

"How did you know?" The Bai family steward's eyebrows shot up, revealing a deep sense of shock.

He had never mentioned to anyone that he felt chest pain and restlessness when practicing. Ye Chenfeng had diagnosed his condition just by looking, which showed his extraordinary abilities.

"You have a lot of yin energy accumulated between your eyebrows, indicating a weak and taut pulse, and an excess of yin energy in your body. Headaches and chest tightness are just the initial stages. If you don't expel the yin energy from your body, once it penetrates your bones, you may become a cripple."

Although Ye Chenfeng had no medical experience, he had forcibly integrated the medical knowledge from the Devouring God's brain, which was like directly plundering the memory of a medical master. Using this knowledge, he could see through the Bai family steward's condition at a glance.

"Then, Master, how can I expel the yin energy from my body?"

After Ye Chenfeng revealed his hidden illness, the Bai family steward began to believe in his medical skills and immediately changed his attitude and address, asking humbly.

"Do you still think I'm arrogant now?" Ye Chenfeng asked calmly.

"I'm sorry, Master. I was blind just now. Please don't take it to heart," the Bai family steward bowed and apologized, deeply regretting offending Ye Chenfeng.

"Do you think it's more important to treat Old Master Bai or to treat you?" Ye Chenfeng, who was repulsed by his arrogant attitude, asked deliberately.

"Of course, it's more important to treat Old Master Bai. Master, please come in."

The Bai family steward no longer dared to be rude to Ye Chenfeng. Ignoring Lian Sanjun's dark face, he warmly welcomed him into the vast and grand city lord's residence.

"By the way, why is he still following us? Is he also from your Bai family?" Ye Chenfeng noticed that the man in the silk robe was closely following him and asked knowingly.

"Sorry, Master, don't be angry. I'll make him leave."

Seeing Ye Chenfeng's display of skill, Bai Xia was convinced of his abilities and immediately turned to intercept Lian Sanjun, who had a bad expression, and said, "You don't need to worry about my grandfather's condition. Go back."

"Xia, do you really believe him? He's just a fraud," Lian Sanjun said, angry and embarrassed. Being driven out of the Bai family like this would leave him with no face.

"Lian Sanjun, this is the Bai family, not the Lian family. If you speak rudely again, don't blame me for driving you out," Bai Xia warned coldly, fearing that Ye Chenfeng would be driven away by Lian Sanjun's incessant chatter.

Although she was still unsure if Ye Chenfeng could really cure her grandfather, if he left in anger, the last hope would be lost.

"Fine, fine, I'll go. I hope you don't regret it."

With that, Lian Sanjun glared at Ye Chenfeng, gritted his teeth, and stormed off.

"Master, don't be angry. As long as you can cure my grandfather, the Bai family will certainly thank you greatly," Bai Xia, seeing Ye Chenfeng's expressionless face, kept saying nice things.

"Let's go. Take me to see your grandfather," Ye Chenfeng said calmly, following Bai Xia to the main hall, where he met City Lord Bai Xishan and three famous old doctors with white hair, who were well-known in Bai Di City.

"Xia, who is this?"

Wearing a deep blue snake-patterned robe, Bai Jiangshui, who exuded an aura of authority but had a hint of worry in his eyes, looked at the unfamiliar, youthful-looking Ye Chenfeng, who carried a medicine box, and asked.

"Father, this is Master Chen, who has come to treat Grandfather," Bai Xia introduced.

"Master Chen?" Bai Jiangshui's eyebrows slightly raised. His first reaction was the same as the Bai family steward's, suspecting that Ye Chenfeng might be a fraud.

After all, Ye Chenfeng looked too young to be a highly skilled physician.

"I saw your reward notice and came to treat Old Master Bai," Ye Chenfeng said calmly, taking in the skeptical looks of the others but not getting angry.

"..."

Bai Jiangshui turned his gaze to the three famous doctors, seeking their opinions.

Concerning his father's life, Bai Jiangshui dared not take any risks.

"Boy, Old Master Bai is a man of great importance. If you harm him, you won't be able to make up for it," one of the white-haired doctors warned.

"Since I'm here, I have a certain level of confidence. It's up to City Lord Bai whether he wants to let me try," Ye Chenfeng said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"How confident are you?" Bai Xishan hesitated and asked.

"I should have a 60% chance," Ye Chenfeng said calmly.

"Sixty percent?" The three white-haired doctors looked at each other and sneered, "Don't you fear breaking your tongue with such big talk..."

Just as they were about to drive him out, suddenly, a strange scene appeared before their eyes, making them widen their eyes and open their mouths in shock, as if they had seen a ghost.
