Regardless of what Murong Shuang thought, the Shengsifu she provided was extremely important to Lu Ming at this moment. With it, it would greatly help in cracking the Shengsifu.
Huang Bin was no longer joking around and meticulously studied it with Lu Ming.
They continued their research until the sun was about to set, and they finally achieved a breakthrough.
They had figured it out!
They had successfully developed a medical method without side effects or pain. For this, the master and disciple heartily high-fived, overjoyed.
"We've finally figured it out, Master, we succeeded!" Huang Bin said excitedly.
Lu Ming let out a long breath and calmly said, "Huang Bin, next, you'll accompany me to the Jiang family. You will be the one to operate and complete the cracking of the Shengsifu."
Huh?
Huang Bin asked in confusion, "Me?"
"Can't I?"
"You can, it's just..." Huang Bin was puzzled, "Wouldn't it be better if Master operated it yourself?"
Lu Ming gave a wry smile. If he could, he wouldn't need Huang Bin to step in.
Given Xu Qin's attitude towards Lu Ming, it was a million to one that she would allow Lu Ming to treat her. She would not accept Lu Ming's goodwill even if she died. Xu Qin had immense aversion towards Lu Ming.
He said, "Just follow my arrangement. Also, when you go to the Jiang family, absolutely do not say you are my disciple. Our relationship must be kept strictly confidential."
"Ah? Do we need to go to such lengths?"
"Yes."
After everything was arranged, Lu Ming tidied up his things and left. Huang Bin shook his head slightly, sighing, "It seems Master hasn't been having a happy time at the Jiang family."
Then, Huang Bin followed Lu Ming's footsteps.
...
Jiang Family, detached villa.
Xu Qin's complexion grew worse. The effect of the holy medicine she took last time was wearing off. Without a new supply of holy medicine, the painful feeling would soon return.
Xu Qin sat on a chair with a grim expression.
Jiang Xueyi, standing by her side, cursed viciously, "It's all that bastard Lu Ming's fault! If he hadn't insisted on intervening, things wouldn't have turned out this way. If Mengxin had successfully joined the White Lotus Sect, we would have gotten the remaining two portions of holy medicine. Damn it, Lu Ming, that scoundrel who brings ruin, dying ten thousand times wouldn't be enough to quell my rage!"
This couple truly hated Lu Ming to the bone.
Jiang Mengxin repeatedly shook her head and said, "Dad, you are too prejudiced against Lu Ming. Let's not talk about what happened before. Isn't Lu Ming looking for a solution now? He said he could find the antidote within 24 hours, and I believe him."
"Heh, daughter, you've been poisoned too deeply by that kid Lu Ming. At this hour, you still believe his nonsense? Look, the sun is about to set, and that scoundrel hasn't returned! For all we know, he might have already bought a plane ticket and fled abroad, afraid of persecution by the White Lotus Sect."
Jiang Xueyi belittled Lu Ming to the lowest possible degree.
Xu Qin sighed, "Daughter, if I die, the first thing you must do is tear up the engagement with Lu Ming and cut all ties with him. Do you understand?"
"Mom?" Jiang Mengxin was a little flustered.
Xu Qin continued, "Mom is doing this all for your own good. How could someone like Lu Ming, a graveyard watcher and utter trash, be worthy of you? Besides, he has offended the White Lotus Sect and will surely be retaliated against. The sooner you break off relations with him, the less we will be implicated. Although your engagement with him was arranged by Grandpa, I believe my life is enough to nullify Grandpa's will. With my death, you can push all the blame onto Lu Ming. Then, you can unilaterally break off the engagement, and no one can say anything to you. Daughter, this is all Mom can do for you."
It had to be said, although Xu Qin was malicious and looked down on Lu Ming a million ways, deep down, she was very good to Jiang Mengxin.
She truly doted on her daughter.
It was just that her vision was too shallow, like a frog in a well, narrow-minded.
Jiang Mengxin glanced at her watch and said, "Dad, Mom, don't worry. Finding a solution isn't something that can be done overnight. Let's wait a little longer. There are still four or five hours left until the 24-hour mark. Let's wait."
"Wait for what!" Jiang Xueyi kicked over the trash can and cursed, "We've fallen to this point entirely because Lu Ming harmed us! Grandpa was smart his whole life but foolish at the end, saddling our Jiang family with this kind of burden before he died. This is clearly his hatred for my Jiang family, wishing for our downfall!"
The entire Jiang family, from top to bottom, was filled with a profound sense of sorrow.
At this moment, the sound of a car horn attracted their attention.
Beep, beep.
The car had arrived!
Jiang Mengxin's eyes lit up, and she quickly ran out to the gate. Indeed, a man she was all too familiar with stepped out of the car: Lu Ming.
Accompanying Lu Ming were a man and a woman, both very young.
"Lu Ming!" Jiang Mengxin ran up happily and said, "You kept your promise and didn't run away."
Heh heh.
Jiang Xueyi walked over and sneered, "Coming back means keeping your promise? Pfft! You said you'd find a way to crack the Shengsifu, did you find it?"
Lu Ming pointed to the young man beside him and said, "I found it. This Dr. Huang Bin can crack the Shengsifu."
Oh?
Jiang Xueyi sized up Huang Bin and burst out laughing.
He disdainfully said, "I've invited dozens of doctors and none could cure it, so why would he be able to? A kid with no facial hair, how much medical knowledge can he have? It's laughable. Lu Ming, do you think you can fool me by casually picking up an extra from the street for 200 yuan? Do you take me for a three-year-old?"
Seeing Jiang Xueyi's attitude, Huang Bin realized why Lu Ming wasn't happy at the Jiang family.
This was a completely unreasonable, narrow-minded, and prejudiced old man.
It would be a miracle to be happy living with such a person.
"Hmph."
Unexpectedly, Liu Ling stepped forward and said coldly, "Uncle, please watch your mouth. Do you know who this is?"
Jiang Xueyi chuckled, "Oh, trying to scare me? Who is it? The Jade Emperor or the Buddha?"
Liu Ling proudly said, "This is the direct disciple of the current Chinese Divine Doctor, Huang Bin!"
Just as Liu Ling had predicted, upon hearing the words 'Chinese Divine Doctor', Jiang Xueyi's eyes immediately changed. From disdain, arrogance, and contempt, they turned to profound respect.
He looked at Huang Bin in disbelief, "You... you are really the direct disciple of the Chinese Divine Doctor?"
Huang Bin tilted his head, "Of course. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask around. Who in Jinling doesn't know that I, Huang Bin, was personally trained by the Chinese Divine Doctor?!"
"Oh my!" Jiang Xueyi was overjoyed, "Forgive my blindness, I didn't recognize you. Come, come, Doctor Huang, please come inside."
Upon learning of Huang Bin's true identity, Jiang Xueyi was overjoyed, and his attitude towards Huang Bin underwent a 180-degree transformation.
Little did he know, the true Chinese Divine Doctor was standing right beside him, the incompetent son-in-law he so despised!
Jiang Xueyi was polite to Huang Bin, yet he cast aside the truly talented individual. How ridiculous, how pitiful, how lamentable!
