Anna saw the man in unbearable pain and couldn't help feeling sympathetic, but since Xu Hao remained silent, she didn't speak either.
At that moment, Tu Yilong, accompanied by Wu Mengchong, walked over, looked down at the man, and suddenly covered his forehead with a look of great regret, saying, "Ah! Back then, my grandfather told me to study medicine properly, but I didn't want to learn, thinking martial arts were more straightforward. But now, seeing such misery in the world, I really regret it! If I had studied medicine seriously, maybe I could save him now!"
His remorseful demeanor and expression of deep regret made many people feel that he truly regretted his past decisions.
Patriarch of the Wu Family, Wu Yong, hastily added, "Third Young Master, don't be sad. Your kind heart is clear to all of us, but a person's energy is limited; you can't learn everything. If you had agreed to study medicine back then, perhaps your martial Dao Realm wouldn't have reached its current level."
Tu Yilong thought to himself that Master Wu truly was an old clever fox from Jianghu—without any communication, he knew exactly how to echo him. Nonetheless, Tu Yilong still expressed his regret, "Ah! I still regret it. The benevolence of a physician—if one doesn't learn medicine to save others, then there's little point in learning it at all."
Both Ruyue and Chen Suyi slightly furrowed their brows, sensing that Tu Yilong's words were aimed at Xu Hao.
But what Tu Yilong said seemed reasonable, and they couldn't find a way to refute him.
At this point, many people were looking towards Xu Hao.
It was Xu Hao whom the man had been calling for help, but did Xu Hao have the ability to cure him?
Wu Mengchong then spoke, "Third Young Master, it's right to study medicine to save people, but not all diseases can be cured by medical practitioners. Even a Divine Doctor can't cure everything, right? So, it's normal not to be able to treat certain conditions. Isn't that right, Young Master Xu?
However, there's no need to feel embarrassed. You are so young; perhaps you'll learn how to treat his illness in the future. Elder Xie is here, and when he treats patients later, just pay close attention and learn from him."
And just then, the man shouted "Doctor Xu" once more.
Wu Mengchong had effectively thrown the gauntlet down to Xu Hao, and now it was up to Xu Hao whether to accept this challenge or not.
Could Xu Hao cure him?
Everyone's mind was marked with a big question mark.
This was not an ordinary case of epilepsy; Xu Hao may not necessarily know how to treat it.
Xu Hao sneered inwardly; he had long recognized that the man's illness was caused by a poison spell.
He even suspected that the Gu Technique was deployed by Tu Yilong!
But since Tu Yilong was indeed a Grandmaster Level Expert, Xu Hao could not directly assert what he was carrying.
Xu Hao said indifferently, "Wu Mengchong, did I say that I can't treat his illness?" Рubliсаtiоn соurtеsy оf М|V|LЕ-МРYR.
Wu Mengchong and Tu Yilong froze in place.
He could treat the man's illness?
How could that be possible?
Tu Yilong blurted out, "Impossible! He's not sick at all, where could you possibly treat him?"
Xu Hao scoffed, "Tu Yilong, how do you know he's not sick?"
Seeing everyone looking at him, and with a glint of coldness flickering in Elder Xie's eyes, Tu Yilong instantly lost his composure.
He was certain that if he misspoke even a little, Elder Xie would make him pay dearly.
Elder Xie was someone who deeply despised evil. Despite his seemingly mild appearance, he was resolute in action, always upholding the principle of punishing the wicked and extolling the virtuous.
Tu Yilong quickly took a deep breath and said, "Not to hide from you all, I've seen someone afflicted by Gu Technique before, and that person was in the exact same state as this one here. So, I said he wasn't sick, but was affected by a poison spell."
Xu Hao looked at Tu Yilong intently; he hadn't expected him to spill the beans, which was slightly surprising.
Perhaps, he had a backup plan?
Xu Hao said coldly, "Tu Yilong, since you know he's afflicted by Gu Technique, why did you just now express regret for not studying medicine properly? Doesn't that contradict what you've just said?"
Suddenly, everyone turned their attention to Tu Yilong. Xu Hao was right; his statements were contradictory.
Tu Yilong immediately retorted, "Don't spout slanderous accusations! I'm not specifically trained in medicine. Upon first seeing someone in that state, naturally, I thought he was ill. But after looking closer, I realized he seemed to be afflicted by Gu Technique. I later became sure of it, which is why I said you couldn't possibly cure him."
After finishing his statement, Tu Yilong silently breathed a sigh of relief. That was close; he almost gave himself away.
As long as nobody caught him red-handed, with his status as the Third Young Master of the Tu family, even Elder Xie wouldn't dare to make things difficult for him.
Xu Hao inwardly sneered. Tu Yilong's reaction was quite speedy. Had he hesitated even briefly, the others would have realized that Tu Yilong was lying. After all, the people present were not fools; they all sensed something unusual in the air and chose not to speak out amid the current uncertainty.
