My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 178: You Can’t Cure Her Illness!

Yang Qi and Liu Changsheng got out of the car. They noticed a white-haired elderly man getting out of the car opposite them, dressed in a long gown and resembling an old master of National Medicine.

The elderly man glanced at Fang Neng before his gaze locked onto Liu Changsheng. "Heh, if it isn’t Changsheng. So, even a fool like you managed to become a doctor?"

"Senior Brother!" Liu Changsheng said, bowing quickly.

Yang Qi frowned. Who is this guy, acting so arrogant? Liu Changsheng is the president of the Kang City branch of the National Medicine Association, an appointment I made myself. And he’s being called a fool?

Liu Changsheng gave a bitter smile. "That’s my Senior Brother, Ding Yi. He’s a very famous Divine Doctor from Thunder City who has been traveling the world for the past three years. I imagine his medical skills have become even more superb by now."

"Fang Neng, why did you seek out Liu Changsheng?" Ding Yi said coldly. "I don’t need so many assistants. My disciple is more than enough. This Liu Changsheng was always a fool, and it seems he hasn’t made any progress."

Yang Qi sneered. This is getting more and more ridiculous. Liu Changsheng is a Divine Doctor in Kang City, for goodness’ sake. To hear this man talk, you’d think he was worthless. Not even qualified to be his assistant? Inferior to his disciple? What an arrogant bastard. I wonder if his medical skills can back up that mouth of his.

Fang Neng glanced at Liu Changsheng and said, "Brother Changsheng is my friend, not an assistant. Divine Doctor Ding, you’re reading too much into it."

Ding Yi sneered. "A friend? Are you afraid I might cheat you, so you brought him to supervise my work? You have so little faith in me! If you don’t trust me, then I’ll just leave!"

The man had quite a temper and turned as if to walk away.

Fang Neng quickly stopped him. "Divine Doctor Ding, I didn’t mean that at all! I had no idea Brother Changsheng was coming today. If I had known, I wouldn’t have let him come!" He then looked at Liu Changsheng. "Brother Changsheng, you should head back for now. We can have tea together another day!"

Liu Changsheng smiled. "Brother Fang, I came today because I’ve found a Divine Doctor to treat your precious daughter!"

"A Divine Doctor?" the hot-tempered youth beside Ding Yi sneered. "The title of Divine Doctor seems pretty cheap these days. Who dares to call themselves a Divine Doctor in front of my master?"

Liu Changsheng was embarrassed and didn’t know what to say. He was still a bit intimidated by Ding Yi.

"I wouldn’t dare claim the title of Divine Doctor," Yang Qi finally spoke, "but I should be a little better than this ’master’ of yours."

His words never failed to shock, and everyone was instantly stunned. Even Liu Changsheng hadn’t expected Yang Qi to speak so bluntly.

The hot-tempered youth said coldly, "You’re just a brat who hasn’t even finished growing up, yet you dare claim to be better than my master? Liu Changsheng, are you trying to scam Mr. Fang out of his money?"

Ding Yi also sneered. "Junior Brother, I called you foolish, but it seems I underestimated you. I never thought you’d become so despicable as to hire a brat like this to swindle Mr. Fang. Mr. Fang considers you a friend! This is incredibly dishonest of you. You’re a disgrace to our sect!"

Fang Neng also frowned. Although he said nothing, his distrust of Yang Qi was obvious. He didn’t think Liu Changsheng would deceive him, but bringing such a greenhorn here felt like a joke.

"Senior Brother, you’ve misunderstood," Liu Changsheng said earnestly. "Mr. Yang possesses genuine skills. His medical abilities are a hundred times greater than mine. Brother Fang, I brought him here to treat your daughter because I trust him. Please, you must believe me."

"Medical skill isn’t something you can boast into existence," Ding Yi said disdainfully. "He’s so young; how many years could he possibly have studied medicine? We old-timers have earned our skills through genuine hardship. You claim he’s a hundred times better than you? Then I can only assume your own skills are now a complete mess. A hundred times zero is still zero."

"Indeed, medical skill isn’t something you can boast into existence," Yang Qi said with a faint smile. "However, Divine Doctor Ding, you’ve been singing your own praises for quite some time now. I wonder how much real skill you actually have. I’m afraid that even your title of ’Divine Doctor’ is something you just boasted into being, isn’t it?"

"How audacious!" Ding Yi exploded in anger. "Even your master wouldn’t dare speak to me like that! You are too arrogant! Do you even know who you’re talking to?"

"My master?"

"Senior Brother, you are mistaken. I am not Mr. Yang’s master; I’m not worthy of that title," Liu Changsheng hurriedly explained.

"With such poor judgment, how could you possibly treat a patient correctly?" Yang Qi shook his head. "Ding Yi, let me throw some cold water on you. You can’t cure his daughter’s illness. Even without seeing her, I know her problem is not something an arrogant man like you can solve."

"HAHAHA!" Ding Yi burst into laughter. "A true charlatan, just as I thought! National Medicine relies on observation, hearing, inquiry, and pulse-taking. You haven’t even seen the patient, yet you dare make such a diagnosis. That is absolutely absurd. Liu Changsheng, this boy is nothing more than a Jianghu swindler, isn’t he?"

Yang Qi stated calmly, "You idiot. I may not have seen the patient, but Chairman Liu has already described her condition to me. Why shouldn’t I be able to make a judgment based on that?"

"Enough!" Fang Neng shot a look at Liu Changsheng. "Brother Changsheng, control your apprentice! Don’t let him offend Divine Doctor Ding! If he harms my daughter, I’ll have his hide!"

Liu Changsheng gave a bitter smile. "I’ve already told you, Mr. Yang is not my apprentice. His medical skills far surpass my own!"

"Alright, I don’t want to hear it. Just go. Take him and leave! Otherwise, don’t blame me for turning my back on our friendship!" Fang Neng was extremely agitated, all for the sake of his daughter.

Liu Changsheng wanted to say more, but Yang Qi stopped him. There’s no point in talking to someone who refuses to trust you.

He looked at Fang Neng calmly and said, "Mr. Fang, that’s going too far. You can disbelieve me, but Chairman Liu has poured his heart and soul into helping your daughter. Even if there’s no glory, there was effort. Your words are chilling. Fine, we’ll leave.

"But let me give you a piece of friendly advice. Do not, under any circumstances, start with acupuncture. One needle, and your daughter will be injured. A second, and she will vomit blood. A third, and she will begin to convulse.

"There must not be a fourth needle, or your daughter will be left with only half a life. Remember that! Although, I suspect you won’t, and he’ll use his needles anyway. So, you must make him stop after the third needle goes in! Otherwise, forget me—not even the Daluo Golden Immortal himself could save your daughter!"

After speaking, he led Liu Changsheng back to the car.

"Ridiculous!" Ding Yi scoffed. "I refuse to believe my acupuncture skills could kill someone! Besides, I haven’t even seen the patient yet. It’s not even certain I’ll use acupuncture. To make such bold claims... if he’s not a swindler, what is he!"

Fang Neng gave a wry smile but said nothing. Still, he took Yang Qi’s words to heart. He knew that, at the very least, Liu Changsheng would not harm him. Even if he didn’t believe the boy, it wouldn’t hurt to be careful.

"Divine Doctor Ding, please," Fang Neng said, leading Ding Yi and his disciple into the house.

In the car, Liu Yu asked awkwardly, "Are we leaving?"

"No need. He’ll be out looking for us in less than five minutes," Yang Qi said.

"Really?" Liu Yu was incredulous. He knew Yang Qi’s medical skills were extraordinary, but wasn’t this prediction a bit too presumptuous?
