Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law-Chapter 780 - 783: The People from the Divine Healer Pavilion Have Arrived

"Boss Zhang, I've determined your illness. For me, treating it is a simple matter."

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan was overjoyed. "Are you telling the truth, old sir?"

The elder nodded. "Boss Zhang, I have no reason to deceive you. I happen to have seen this illness before. It's not a parasite. On the contrary, it's a very peculiar type of fungus."

"This fungus gnaws on the internal organs and bones. I encountered one such case before and successfully cured it."

When the elder finished speaking, everyone present looked astonished. They had never heard of such a disease—a fungus that could eat bone and flesh. It was a rare and eye-opening revelation.

Just then, the elder gestured to the nanny. "Bring me a pen and paper. I'm going to prescribe a traditional Chinese medicine formula for Boss Zhang. If he takes it for a month, I can't guarantee a complete cure, but he will be significantly better! Then, I'll return to write a new prescription. This illness must be treated in stages, which is a bit troublesome, but for me, it's no problem at all!"

Zhang Yuan immediately signaled the nanny, who hurried to fetch a pen and paper and handed them to the elder. The elder, in turn, passed them to the young man behind him. "Apprentice, you will write as I dictate."

After saying this, the elder began reciting the names of the medicinal herbs. As he announced the fifth ingredient, Liu Ergou, who had been chatting idly until that moment, finally reacted.

He looked at the elder, who was leisurely listing the herbs, and said, "Tsk, and here I thought we had an impressive doctor. Turns out he's just another quack! Here's a suggestion: add two ounces of arsenic to the mix. Give Boss Zhang a quick and painless end!"

"That way, he'll be spared the agony. What do you think of my idea, huh?"

As soon as these words left his mouth, a dead silence fell over the room. Fu Yan stared at Liu Ergou in complete surprise, while Zhang Yuan's face flushed with fury. As for the elder, he simply looked at Liu Ergou, his expression unreadable.

At that moment, the elder's apprentice jumped forward and began berating Liu Ergou. "Shut your mouth! Who do you think you are?"

"Who are you calling a quack? You're the quack! Claiming to be a Divine Doctor at your age! You're just trying to cause trouble now that my master has diagnosed the illness, aren't you? I've seen plenty of people like you. You just wait, I'm calling the police right now to teach you a lesson!"

The young man took out his phone, ready to dial.

Even so, Liu Ergou remained completely unfazed, still smiling gently at Zhang Yuan.

Although Zhang Yuan was furious, Liu Ergou was Fu Yan's guest, and he had to give Fu Yan some face. He suppressed his anger and said, "Er Gou, right? I hope you won't cause trouble. Do you have any idea how painful this illness is? Now that there's finally a glimmer of hope, you say something like this! If you can't explain yourself today, don't blame me for being discourteous!"

This time, Fu Yan didn't speak up for Liu Ergou. He completely understood Zhang Yuan's feelings. Besides, there was no need for him to intervene. He had witnessed Liu Ergou's medical skills for himself. Liu Ergou simply hadn't made his move yet.

Hearing Zhang Yuan's ultimatum, Liu Ergou stood up unfazed and gave a slight smile. "Let's put the explanation on hold for a moment. I'd like to ask Uncle Zhang a few questions, and I hope you'll answer them truthfully. If you don't, then there's nothing I can do, and you'll just have to wait for death!"

Having said that, Liu Ergou gave an innocent shrug. It took everything Zhang Yuan had to resist the urge to jump up and give him a flying kick. Still, he managed to suppress his anger and nodded. "Ask away. I'll tell you anything I know!"

After receiving Zhang Yuan's confirmation, Liu Ergou began. "First question: does the intense pain, the one that feels like insects gnawing on you, only appear every night after eight o'clock?"

"Second question: when you're lying in bed, can you hear a sound like something gnawing on your bones, a sort of scraping, rustling noise?"

"Third question: your head didn't hurt at first, but has it started hurting now, getting worse each day? For example, if on the first day your skull ached, did the pain seem to travel deeper the next day, as if it were trying to reach your brain?"

After the three questions, Zhang Yuan fell into a deep silence.

Seeing this, the elder's apprentice immediately jumped in again. "Questions, questions! What kind of nonsense are you asking? All this gibberish about whether it hurts or not! If you have nothing to say, then get lost! This is no place for a clown like you to—"

The apprentice's words were cut short as he suddenly staggered and fell to his knees. The incident happened so suddenly that no one had time to react.

Looking at the apprentice kneeling on the floor, Liu Ergou shook his head. "Tsk. See what happens when you talk too much? Divine retribution!"

"Interrupt less when others are talking. Otherwise, next time, you might lose your life!"

Hearing this, the apprentice assumed Liu Ergou was responsible and sprang up, ready to fight, but the elder's sharp command stopped him. "Stop! No reckless behavior here!"

The apprentice shot Liu Ergou a cold glare before retreating behind his master.

At this moment, Zhang Yuan finally spoke. "Well, how should I put this… I can only say that everything you said is completely correct. It's exactly as you described. But thinking about it, the illness still sounds similar to what this old sir said. After all, something is definitely gnawing on my bones."

Liu Ergou shook his head. "That's different. Can you say bacteria and viruses are the same thing? Of course not!"

His one sentence silenced Zhang Yuan once again.

However, at that very moment, two uninvited guests arrived in the living room: an old man and a girl. The girl was about Liu Ergou's age and had a very sweet face. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Seeing the newcomers, Zhang Yuan asked with some confusion, "May I ask who you two are?"

The old man replied, "I am from the Divine Healer Pavilion, and this is my young granddaughter. We were held up in traffic, so we're a bit late."

When the words "Divine Healer Pavilion" left the old man's lips, everyone else present was stunned. The Divine Healer Pavilion had actually sent someone? People from the Pavilion were known to be mysterious and rarely intervened, yet here they were today.

Just then, the elder who had been treating Zhang Yuan suddenly spoke up. "Hmph. Now that the Divine Healer Pavilion is here, there's no need for us to argue. Let's see what they have to say! I'm confident their diagnosis will be the same as mine!"
