Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife

"Yes." With the future and dignity of the Shenzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Community at stake, Chen Xiao naturally wouldn’t decline. Although he was very laid-back, he was clear-headed when it came to major principles. How could he possibly let these people from Yang Country ride roughshod over them?

Li Zhengming snorted coldly. "These people from the Ghost Medical Sect act with impunity because they have backers in the International Medical Alliance. They’ve even opened branches of the Ghost Medical Sect on Shen Zhou Territory. Zhonghai already has several of their branches. They operate under the guise of practicing medicine to help the world, offering free treatment, yet they belittle our Divine Land’s medical community at every turn. If this continues, our Shenzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Community might be completely devoured by them."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes.

He naturally didn’t believe these people from Yang Country were so kind-hearted as to offer free medical treatment purely out of a desire to help the world. Are medicinal herbs free? Doesn’t treating patients require energy? Everything they were doing now was just to build a reputation among the public and seize the opportunity to establish a foothold in the Divine Land. Who knew what ulterior motives they were harboring. Most of the local traditional Chinese medicine clinics operated on a small-business model; how could they possibly afford to treat patients without charging? The Ghost Medical Sect, however, was different. They were financially robust and supported by major capital from Yang Country. Offering free treatment now was just a ploy to gain the public’s trust and support! Once they established a foothold in the Divine Land... the consequences would be unimaginable! Medical care is a critical aspect of the people’s welfare. How could those from Yang Country, who eye the Divine Land with covetous intent, be allowed to interfere?

Seeing Li Zhengming take the initiative to approach and greet a young man, the other luminaries of the Chinese Medicine Community were somewhat astonished and walked over.

"Old Li, this is...?"

"Mr. Chen. His medical skills surpass my own!" Li Zhengming introduced him respectfully.

Hearing this, the older figures of the Chinese Medicine Community were taken aback before chuckling.

"Old Li, you’re quite the joker."

"Seriously? A junior whose medical skills are higher than yours?"

"Is this another promising junior you’re trying to hide? Are you afraid we’ll snatch him away? If he has potential, let us old-timers give him some pointers, too. There aren’t many promising young talents in the Chinese Medicine Community these days!"

"That’s right, good seedlings are rare. You can’t keep him all to yourself!"

These elder figures of the Chinese Medicine Community sighed one after another, their faces etched with worry. The Shenzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Community was suffering from a lack of successors. Although these senior figures were competent, finding a qualified heir was incredibly difficult. Therefore, whenever a promising junior emerged in their field, these old-timers would practically fight to the death for the chance to take them on as a disciple. But few young people nowadays had the patience; they simply couldn’t settle down to master the medical arts. As a result, the global influence of the Shenzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Community had fallen behind even that of Yang Country. And now, with the Ghost Medical Sect of Yang Country extending its malicious grasp into Shen Zhou Territory, they finally realized that the crisis had arrived and they had to make a change!

"None of you are qualified to teach him," Li Zhengming said, shaking his head with a bitter smile.

Chen Xiao’s heaven-defying medical skills were so profound that it would be no exaggeration to say he could bring the dead back to life and grow flesh on bare bones! In front of him, these so-called luminaries were, at best, novices. What right did they have to teach Chen Xiao medicine?

The elders of the Chinese Medicine Community began chattering about Chen Xiao, but not a single one of them truly took him seriously.

Just then, a few more figures approached. It was none other than Jiang Tianquan and Watanabe Ichiba.

"What a coincidence. We meet again," Jiang Tianquan said, glaring at Chen Xiao with murder in his eyes.

"I’d call it unfortunate. I’ve run into dogs," Chen Xiao replied, his gaze chillingly cold.

The Jiang Family had colluded with these people from Yang Country, committing treason under the guise of doing business. They deserved to die a thousand deaths. The family had previously conspired with Watanabe Ichiba to steal the gene potion secretly developed by Dragon Soul and take it to Yang Country. That act had completely crossed Chen Xiao’s line. If he could, he would kill them right here, right now.

Watanabe Ichiba’s effeminate face twisted into a sinister sneer. "Chen Xiao, you may be somebody in Yuncheng City, but here, without Li Buyi to help you, you’re nothing!"

His eyes darkened as he slowly approached Chen Xiao and whispered in his ear, "You ruined our plans last time. This time, I, Watanabe Ichiba, will make you pay!"

Last time on the Alice, his losses had been even more disastrous than the Jiang Family’s. Ten of his Shikigami had died under mysterious circumstances, and he had failed to obtain the gene potion. Now, his influence within his family had weakened considerably. The culprit behind it all was Chen Xiao!

"I’ll be waiting," Chen Xiao replied indifferently.

Watanabe Ichiba snorted and glanced dismissively at Li Zhengming and the others. "I hear that at today’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Exchange Conference, you esteemed seniors intend to demonstrate the miraculous medical arts of the Divine Land for Mr. William. Our Ghost Medical Sect is quite interested as well.

"Although the Divine Land is the birthplace of traditional Chinese medicine, it is no longer as glorious as it once was.

"For years, you Doctors of the Divine Land have been consistently crushed by the medical arts of our Yang Country. I hope, this time, you don’t embarrass yourselves in front of Mr. William." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

His voice was filled with condescending disdain, which made Li Zhengming and the others’ expressions turn grim.

Li Zhengming said coldly, "For years, the Ghost Medical Sect has been unscrupulously suppressing our Shenzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Community by leveraging its influence within the International Medical Alliance. We won’t let you succeed!"

Watanabe Ichiba threw his head back and laughed. "HAHAHA! Hilarious. We people of Yang Country have always been open and aboveboard, winning through strength alone. How could we stoop to such shameless tactics?

"It is you people from the Shenzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Community whose skills are simply inferior!

"And now you dare to blame us?

"If I remember correctly, in all the years of medical competitions between your Divine Land and our Yang Country, the number of times you’ve won can be counted on one hand, can’t it?

"Your Shenzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Community is just a bunch of little karami that should have exited the world stage long ago.

"Our Ghost Medical Sect is the most authoritative and powerful traditional Chinese medicine institution in the world today. No... actually, in the future, the term ’traditional Chinese medicine’ might just be renamed ’Yang Medicine.’ HAHAHA...

"Upholding the principle of practicing medicine to save the world, our Ghost Medical Sect will not only shine outside the Divine Land, but we will also treat the citizens within its borders. In the future, the people of the Divine Land will thank us for it!"

Watanabe’s smug expression was so infuriating it made one want to slap him dead.

Li Zhengming and the other old traditional Chinese medicine masters were so furious their beards trembled, and they nearly fainted from rage. Watanabe Ichiba’s arrogant provocation was no different than taking a shit on their faces. It was simply too arrogant, too outrageous
