Liu Zixuan leaned on the table, looking down at Old Wu: "You want me to examine you?"
"Exactly!" Old Wu looked up with a smile.
"So now, are you the doctor or am I the doctor?"
"Of course you are, I'm just your patient." Old Wu leaned back in his chair and even crossed his legs.
"Then a patient should act like one. Do you think just because I gave you a friendly face, you can make yourself at home?" Liu Zixuan suddenly reached out and grabbed Old Wu by the collar: "Get down here!"
Old Wu's face instantly turned red, "You...!"
"What about me?"
"Fine, I'll give you the seat!" Old Wu took a deep breath, stood up from the chair, and sat on the chair next to it. "Can you examine me now?"
Liu Zixuan sat back in his seat, took out a cigarette, lit it, and took two puffs: "You can leave now!"
"Huh?" Old Wu was dumbfounded by his words.
"Are you deaf? I said you can leave!"
Bam!
Old Wu slammed the table and stood up: "Liu Zixuan, do I not deserve any respect? I humble myself to come to you for a check-up, and not only do you deny it, but you also show no basic respect?"
"What? Are you trying to use the title of the number one National Doctor to pressure me?" Liu Zixuan teased.
"I used to think you were a good kid, but it seems you were just pretending all along." Old Wu angrily scolded.
"Respect is mutual. Ask yourself if you're really here for a check-up. We're both National Doctors, and just by looking and listening, I can tell if you're sick. Are you still pretending here?"
Liu Zixuan pointed to Old Wu's pocket: "That thing you have won't help you; in fact, it will harm you!"
Old Wu was momentarily stunned and clutched his pocket: "There's nothing in here!"
"Is there?"
Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow, his figure suddenly arrived in front of Old Wu, and he reached into Old Wu's pocket and pulled out a small bottle.
Inside the bottle were two insects! They were very small, black, and purple, looking somewhat disgusting!
Liu Zixuan waved the bottle in front of Old Wu: "Old man, Black Heart Trick Insects, carrying this on you, aren't you afraid it might kill you directly?"
"I... these are just ordinary insects." Old Wu said evasively.
Liu Zixuan squeezed his palm slightly, crushing the bottle directly, and as the two Gu insects inside died, a particularly unpleasant smell suddenly emerged.
In just a moment, Old Wu's face turned exceptionally ugly. Beads of sweat were rolling down his forehead!
Liu Zixuan clapped his hands; "Ordinary insects? These are Black Heart Trick Insects. Smelling their scent alone can make your limbs powerless, and being harmed by them can cause instant death. And you tell me these are ordinary insects? You're joking, right?"
"How... how do you know?"
"I know a lot, just can't tell you everything!" Liu Zixuan's expression gradually turned grim, gripping Old Wu by the collar: "Who sent you? What's your purpose with the Gu insects?"
"I... I won't say!" Old Wu stubbornly replied.
Upon hearing this, Liu Zixuan suddenly grinned: "Oh, still playing tough, huh? Not willing to talk? You've already smelled the scent released when those Gu insects died. You're poisoned now, and in another half an hour, you'll be dead!"
Old Wu frowned, to be honest, he didn't even know these were Gu insects, only that the person who gave them to him told him to place them in Liu Zixuan's clinic.
Now, at this point, he was caught between a rock and a hard place because the person who gave him the Gu insects had promised him that if he defeated Liu Zixuan, he would get the Ancient Medical Books!
But now, he was about to die.
He now truly believed Liu Zixuan's words, as his body was gradually deteriorating!
After hesitating for a long time, he looked at Liu Zixuan: "If I tell you, can you save me?"
"That depends on whether what you say is what I want to hear." Liu Zixuan shrugged and sat back in the chair.
"An old man gave me these Gu insects; I initially didn't know what they were. He only told me to place them in your clinic. Doing so would make you the target of everyone's blame, and the clinic surely wouldn't be able to continue, and you would die too."
Upon hearing this, Liu Zixuan laughed: "Indeed, if these things stayed in my clinic for a few days, not only would the patients who came for treatment remain uncured, but they would also all die. By then, I'd be a murderer! Tell me, what did that person promise you?"
"He... he said that once you were dead, I could copy the Ancient Medical Books, and he also promised to teach me more medical skills!" Old Wu admitted.
"You don't know who he is?"
"Not specifically, but it was You Long who introduced him to me, claiming he was a true divine doctor. He even demonstrated a technique in front of me. You Long's crippled arm is recovering at an unprecedented speed now!" Old Wu confessed honestly.
He wanted the Ancient Medical Books, and he also coveted the Profound Thunder Needle, but he needed to live for that! Again, it's You Long!
Liu Zixuan's eyes flashed with a trace of coldness. It has been many times now; since Liu Zixuan arrived in Ghost Wood City, it's always been You Long causing trouble!
Repeated attempts to evade using various reasons have allowed this guy to escape. It seems this time, he is truly forcing Liu Zixuan to kill him!
Liu Zixuan pursed his lips slightly, contemplating that if You Long is involved, Zuo Chenggong is likely not far behind!
The oppression from Elegant Underwear and this setup against Liu Zixuan at the clinic all point to Zuo Chenggong!
Liu Zixuan grinned: "Looks like the good days have come to an end, and you're all desperate to die, huh? Since you all want to play, I'm more than willing to play along!"
He turned to Old Wu: "Old man, I can spare your life this time, but I give you a word of advice: some things are worth coveting, but for others, don't harbor the slightest selfish intent. This time, I give you your life, but next time… I'll make sure you die a very painful death!"
Liu Zixuan took out the Ghost Gate Needle and quickly helped Old Wu neutralize the Gu Poison in his system.
"Get lost, and remember to pass a message to You Long for me: lock your doors well when you sleep, or else you might lose your life!"
Feeling his body lighten significantly, Old Wu dared not stay any longer and ran straight out.
But as soon as he exited the clinic, You Long approached and dragged Old Wu back in.
That mysterious old man appeared directly, asking: "Did you manage to place it?"
"I'm sorry, he found out!" Old Wu sighed. He thought it would be easy, yet he never expected to fail this quickly. He truly didn't know how Liu Zixuan discovered it.
"Utterly useless!" A hint of coldness flashed in the old man's eyes, and with a slight movement of his Skull Wooden Staff, a black line flew out directly, striking squarely in the middle of Old Wu's forehead.
Old Wu's eyes widened as he plummeted to the ground, completely lifeless…
Failing to harm Liu Zixuan but losing his own life, perhaps this is what they mean by harming others ends up harming oneself!
