Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 79 - Rejuvenation Hall
79: Chapter 79: Rejuvenation Hall
79 -79: Rejuvenation Hall
Hua Yi considered the shame of losing a competition of medical skill to Fang Bai and a million yuan as an unbearable disgrace.
Fearing ridicule from friends and reproach by elders, he had always kept this matter a secret, even going as far to avoid asking his relatives and close friends to lend him the money to pay Fang Bai back,
Over these days, Hua Yi had been extremely anxious, worried that Fang Bai would come knocking for the debt and make everyone in the “Rejuvenation Hall” aware of it.
Fortunately, since the incident, Fang Bai hadn’t shown up, which gave Hua Yi a temporary sigh of relief.
However, Hua Yi wasn’t naive enough to think that Fang Bai would never come to claim his money, after all, the debt was a million, not a hundred.
Hence, he often snuck out to see patients behind the back of “Rejuvenation Hall,” hoping to earn enough money as soon as possible to pay Fang Bai back and rid himself of this constant worry.
But what he least expected was that Fang Bai would suddenly appear in “Rejuvenation Hall,” and even clamor for his money on the spot.
Watching Fang Bai’s bad grin and loud, boisterous behavior, Hua Yi truly wanted to leap up and strangle him.
This detestable bastard clearly wanted to make a scene out of this, to humiliate him in front of everyone!
Blinded by rage, Hua Yi slapped the table with a “smack” and shouted angrily, “Fang Bai, this is ‘Rejuvenation Hall,’ the place of our Hua Family, we won’t tolerate your wild behavior here!
Get out now, or you’ll regret it profoundly!”
His eyes bulged with fury, his fists crackling with rage, he was like an enraged lion, ready to lash out at any moment.
The patients waiting in line saw this and kept their distance, fearing they might get hurt if the two men clashed.
The staff and doctors of “Rejuvenation Hall” glared at Fang Bai with raised eyebrows, their eyes filled with hostility.
They viewed Fang Bai as a troublemaker.
“Rejuvenation Hall” was a well-known name in the world of traditional Chinese medicine, its reputation widespread.
Every year, many from the medical community would come to “challenge the hall” to make a name for themselves, and they saw Fang Bai as one of these challengers.
“Rejuvenation Hall” belonged to the Hua Family, which was not only a thousand-year-old prominent clan of traditional Chinese medicine but also an ancient martial arts family.
Therefore, those who came to cause trouble often met with very miserable ends.
Soon, four security guards surrounded Fang Bai, ready to make a move on Hua Yi’s command and forcibly eject the troublemaker.
All four guards were descendants of the Hua Family trained in ancient martial arts.
Their duty was to protect the safety of the staff and doctors in “Rejuvenation Hall,” while also maintaining order and ensuring business proceeded as usual.
An older doctor from “Rejuvenation Hall,” after hearing Fang Bai’s words, frowned at Hua Yi, then headed to the back hall, preparing to inform the current Hua Family Patriarch, Hua Chun, who was resting.
Hua Yi really wanted the four guards to throw Fang Bai out, but he didn’t dare do so.
Even Hua Yi was not a match for those four guards, and he knew he was no match for Fang Bai either.
If they dealt with Fang Bai using force, the ones to suffer would only be themselves.
One of the Hua Family rules was to deal with problems calmly, trying to be as discreet and non-confrontational as possible.
Hua Yi knew he was in the wrong from the start.
If a conflict with Fang Bai did arise and the family elders blamed him, he would undoubtedly face punishment.
Seeing the older doctor from “Rejuvenation Hall” leave for the back hall, Hua Yi knew he could no longer keep this matter hidden.
He glanced at Fang Bai with a resentful look, sighed, hung his head low, and waited to face his father, Hua Chun.
Moments later, three elders clad in Tang suits emerged from the back hall.
The three elders, the one in the middle was around sixty, while the two flanking him were well over seventy.
Each of them carried an air of immortal grace, with ruddy complexions, spirited vigor, and excellent health, obviously well-versed in self-care.
Although the elders moved slowly, their bearing was powerful and dignified, exuding an aura of authority without anger.
At the opening and closing of their sharp eyes, their penetrating gaze was revealing to any insider that they were skilled in martial arts and were of considerable prowess.
Upon seeing the three elders appear, the staff and doctors of Rejuvenation Hall all stood up spontaneously, their faces showing respect.
Fang Bai’s attention shifted from Hua Yi to the elders.
To his surprise, the strength of these three elders was much greater than that of the two Shaolin Monks he had encountered before.
Especially the elder in the middle, who was about sixty years old, tread silently like a falling leaf with each step he took, indicating an exceptional movement technique.
Hua Yi hurriedly approached the three elders.
Upon reaching them, he bowed and respectfully called out, “Dad, Uncle, Second Uncle.”
The elder in the middle was none other than Hua Yi’s father, the current Hua Family Patriarch, Hua Chun.
The elders to Hua Chun’s left and right were Hua Yi’s Uncle Hua Gang and Second Uncle Hua Lie, respectively.
Hua Gang, Hua Lie, and Hua Chun, the three brothers, were not only the core figures of the Hua Family but also the soul of the family.
They were not only highly skilled in medicine but also top Ancient Martial experts of the Hua Family.
Now, apart from the highest-ranked National Doctor Hua Tianhe, respect within the family was chiefly accorded to these three.
The previous Family Head of the Hua Family was Hua Tianhe, who, due to his indifferent nature and passion for medicine, showed little interest in worldly affairs.
Not long after inheriting the position, he passed the mantle of Family Head to Hua Chun, who was the most skilled in medicine within the family.
With temperaments of coldness and warmth, Hua Gang and Hua Lie responded to Hua Yi’s greeting with a nod from an expressionless face and a hearty pat on the shoulder, respectively.
Glancing at his son with a huff, Hua Chun sternly asked, “Scoundrel, what are you hiding from me?
Speak!
If you dare lie, I’ll break your legs!”
At this juncture, Hua Yi dared not conceal any longer.
Hanging his head low, he honestly recounted the details of him competing in medical skills with Fang Bai and losing one million to him.
Smack—
No sooner had he finished speaking than Hua Chun raised his hand and landed a slap across his face.
“Do you know why I hit you?”
Hua Chun, looking at the five finger marks on his son’s face, showed not a trace of pity in his eyes as he asked coldly.
“I know…”
“Let’s hear it!” freēwēbηovel.c૦m
“I violated family rules.
I should not have carelessly revealed Martial Arts or engaged in a medical contest with another, thus losing a million and causing loss to the clan…”
“At least you understand that…
Big Brother, according to our Hua Family’s rules, how should this scoundrel be punished?”
Hua Chun turned his head and inquired of Hua Gang, who stood to his left.
Hua Gang responded coldly, “Tend to the medicinal herbs in the mountains, house arrest for one year.”
The Hua Family had rented a large area of mountainous land near Zhongzhou, where they planted a vast quantity of medicinal herbs, continuously supplying all sorts of medicinal materials for Rejuvenation Hall.
That mountainous area was very remote, seemingly cut off from the world.
Only those descendants of the Hua Family who had violated family rules were sent there to cultivate and take care of the medicinal herbs.
Without the permission of the Family Head, no one was to leave, or they would face even more severe family disciplinary actions.
The so-called house arrest for one year meant being assigned to look after the medicinal herbs and not being allowed to leave that mountainous area for a year.
