Chapter 47: No Possibility of Curing

The crowd laughed again, causing Shopkeeper Qin’s face to turn purple; and his eyes filled with hatred.

When he recovered his senses, he really did not have the guts to disturb Physician Xie. After all, Physician Xie’s status was formidable in the owner’s eyes. He was only temporarily staying at Ji Sheng Pharmacy; how could a mere shopkeeper like him order him around?

At this point, an old voice boomed from within Ji Sheng Pharmacy. “Qin Fu, you’re becoming increasingly useless as you grow older. How can you not settle such a small matter?”

A chill went down Shopkeeper Qin’s spine as he turned around and saw Physician Xie walking out. He was surprised. “Physician Xie, why did you come out?”

Glancing at the crowd of onlookers, Physician Xie said coldly, “If I don’t come out, you’ll ruin Ji Sheng Pharmacy’s reputation. Make way!”

Physician Xie was wearing a gray gown, and his eyes were glowing. He walked forward step by step, and the crowd naturally made a passage for him as their eyes showed their respect and fear for him.

There was a beast figure engraved on a jade pendant hanging on the left side of his waist—that was the sign of a third-grade physician.

Physician Xie walked to the girl and the dirty young man. There was a flash of unnoticeable contempt in his eyes before he squatted down to use his spiritual powers and check the young man’s body.

After an incense worth of time, Physician Xie’s face darkened. Finally, he shook his head. “This person’s meridians have all been cut. It is impossible to save him!”

When he said this, the crowd erupted into a commotion.

“Oh, my god! All his meridians are cut! Even the deities can’t save him!”

“That’s right! Just look at the young master of the Ouyang residence. His family is powerful and wealthy and had even invited miracle Physician Nalan over but to no avail. Now, he’s still paralyzed in bed!”

“Aiyo, so pitiful. I wonder who was so cruel to be so harsh on a small child.”

Physician Xie’s words and the crowd’s discussion smothered the speck of hope the girl had. She staggered two steps back, and her knees went weak as she plopped onto the floor. Looking at the unconscious young man whose breathing was so weak until it could go unnoticed, pain overwhelmed her heart.

The girl’s blooded hand unwittingly clutched something beside her as she muttered hopelessly, “Is there anyone that can save my brother…? I’m begging you, please save my brother…”

Suddenly, a cold voice sounded from the bustling crowd and reverberated in everyone’s ears. “Is there really no one who can save him when his meridians are all cut?”

Physician Xie raised his head unhappily and saw a good-looking young man with perfect eyebrows. He said coldly, “Why? Are you questioning my abilities? I can tell you that in the entire Country Jin Ling—even Mainland Miluo, the incurable illness of having your meridians cuts is definitely not treatable.”

Physician Xie’s words made the crowd nod their heads. If one could be saved when their meridians were cut, Young Master Ouyang would have been cured long ago. Why would he still be insulted as a trash now?

However, that girl seemed to have clutched onto her last saving straw. She raised her head and saw the youngster who she was clutching onto unwittingly. Sincerely, she cried, “You… you can save my brother, right? Please, I’m begging you, save my brother!”

The person talking was, of course, He Xi disguising as a male.

Originally, she had no interest in poking her nose into other people’s business, but the scene of the girl begging others to save her brother’s life had touched an old memory in her heart.

At one point in time, someone had hugged her similarly and knelt on the floor to beg others. That was the only one in the whole world who would sacrifice their life for her.
