Chapter 189: The Curtain Falls
In a fleeting glance, Huang Xue's tears started pouring, and she immediately broke free from her mother's grasp, running desperately towards Xia Liu.
As Huang Xue approached him, Xia Liu's body, drained of Spiritual Energy, couldn't hold itself up.
His body leaned and rested on Huang Xue.
"Xia Liu, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me," Huang Xue asked anxiously.
Seeing Huang Xue holding Xia Liu, many of the second generations on site felt a bitter taste in their hearts.
Especially Zhang Qingbo and Pan Long.
The two had put in so much effort to win the favor of the Huang Family, only to have their glory stolen by a kid who came from nowhere.
The biggest loser had to be Pan Long, who had spent a fortune hiring You Zifeng, only to end up like this.
Not only did he lose his lady, but he was also completely bankrupt.
Now he had to play dumb, figuring out how to evade this responsibility.
"I'm fine." Xia Liu forced a calm expression, even curling his lips into a sinister smile.
Seeing this, Huang Xue also gradually began to smile. However, when she noticed Xia Liu's gaze lingering on her chest, she couldn't help but feel bitter.
Barely able to stand, and this guy still had the nerve to be so sleazy!
His name surely lived up to his character.
But she wasn't unhappy. On the contrary, she was quite thrilled.
Finally, Xia Liu was really paying attention to her, and she hadn't forgotten it.
The night they left Hejing, Xia Liu had devastated her to the core.
"By the way, Divine Doctor Xia, what kind of strange disease does my younger sworn brother have?" Having just recovered from the shock, Song Lingzhen seized the moment to inquire urgently.
"Poison Insect Technique!"
"Poison Insects!" Hearing this, Song Lingzhen and the other doctors present were almost petrified.
Poison Art is recorded in many historical texts of Huaxia.
It's an extremely vicious Evil Art, and if someone is afflicted, the end result is always horrific.
Unless the person who applied the Poison Insects lifts it, no medicine can cure the patient.
Even ordinary people who know nothing of medicine understand that those who practice Poison Art are terrifying entities.
If someone is rumored to practice Poison Art, they are utterly ostracized; nobody wants to befriend them. You never know when you might be cursed, when you might die.
What amazed the doctors including Song Lingzhen was that Xia Liu had managed to save someone who'd been plagued by Poison Insects!
Moreover, from the previous situation, it seemed that the person who used the Poison Art was indeed You Zifeng!
"Young Master Pan, these past few days…" After Xia Liu left, Huang Shijie's gaze towards Pan Long became skeptical.
You Zifeng is knowledgeable in Poison Art, and he was brought here by Pan Long.
Could it be that this Poison Art was a scheme concocted by Pan Long in collaboration with You Zifeng?
Huang Shijie wasn't sure but he had to find out.
"Uncle Shijie, my head is so painful, I've been feeling groggy these past few days. Why are there so many people here today, what happened?"
Pan Long frantically grabbed his hair, looking bewildered around him.
This act had started from the moment You Zifeng left.
To deceive everyone, pretending to be foolish was inevitable.
"Young Master Pan, really don't remember? Just now, you brought someone who practices Poison Art into this place," Zhang Qingbo said incredulously.
He knew this guy somewhat, ruthless in his methods to achieve his goals.
Zhang Qingbo suspected that Old Master Huang being plagued by Poison Insects might be Pan Long's doing.
Now that the conspiracy was unraveling, he was trying to bluff his way through it.
"Brother Zhang, I really have no idea!" Pan Long looked miserably at Zhang Qingbo as he spoke.
"That's it, I remember there's a saying in Poison Art, it can control others using poison insects; once infected, they will follow the commands of the one who used the technique."
"Hmm, I have also read about it in a book, it seems Poison Art does have this function."
...
Listening to the heated discussions among the doctors present, Huang Shijie focused his gaze on Xia Liu, "Was Young Master Pan also controlled just now?"
"I'm not sure about that; maybe some people understand it clearly," Xia Liu responded lightly.
His words made Young Master Pan tremble slightly.
"Dad, Xia Liu seems very weak, I'm going to take him to rest," Huang Xue said with a rare smile.
Hearing his daughter was about to take a man to rest, Huang Shijie felt very uncomfortable.
But he dared not speak out, after all, this man was the Divine Doctor who had cured his father.
"Xue'er, quickly help Divine Doctor Xia to rest, we can handle things here," Yang Yuehua said, relieved to see her daughter smiling, reminding her.
"Alright, Mom, I'll take Xia Liu to rest now."
As he passed by Young Master Pan, Xia Liu glanced at him once and brushed past without a word.
Although Young Master Pan pretended to be foolish on the surface, he was extremely frightened inside.
From the terrifying speed Xia Liu had just displayed, being targeted by him would definitely not end well!
Only after Xia Liu and Huang Xue had disappeared did Young Master Pan heave a sigh of relief.
"Uncle Shijie, my head hurts so much I think it's going to explode, I better go to the hospital for a check-up, you guys go ahead."
"Alright, Young Master Pan has also been under a lot of strain these past few days, take good care of yourself," knowing that Young Master Pan was also affected by the poison insects, Huang Shijie felt no resentment toward him.
Subsequently, a few of the elite young men also left.
Their goddess was helping another man to rest, what face did they have left to stay there.
However, Zhang Qingbo was not willing to give up, regardless of whether Huang Xue was helping Xia Liu or not, as long as they weren't married, he still had a chance!
But honestly, he felt that he had really been unlucky lately.
Not only did he spend a lot of money to invite Doctor Mark, but just as Mark arrived, coincidentally, Xia Liu turned out to be his mentor.
All the prestige he had accumulated over many days was stolen away by Xia Liu.
Zhang Qingbo also understood that Xia Liu was truly formidable, just the terrifying speed alone was enough for him to admire, not to mention his god-like medical skills.
"Divine Doctor Song, you must stay today."

"Definitely, even if you chase me away, I won't leave."
"Haha!" Smiling joyously, Huang Shijie said to the other doctors present: "And all you traditional medicine experts, you all must stay today as well."
"Of course!"
"I would stay even if it killed me!"
"Absolutely!"
Everyone's thoughts were similar to Song Lingzhen's; they all wanted to stay close to Xia Liu.
In case Xia Liu revealed some secrets, their medical skills might become as formidable as his.
Afterward, Huang Shijie arranged for everyone to rest in their rooms, Mu Qianshan also took his father Mu Hua and his niece to rest.
The poison insects in Mu Hua's body had been expelled when Xia Liu treated Huang Zhongcai.
Because his infection had lasted a short time and You Zifeng had not exerted his power, it didn't have a major impact.
Tonight, it was undoubtedly the liveliest night in Huanglong City.
After an afternoon's preparation, every plant and underneath every house in the villa area was decked with colorful lights.
To celebrate Old Master Huang's recovery.
Huang Zhongcai woke up in the evening and the first thing he did was to have a hearty meal.
He knew nothing about being affected by poison insects; once Huang Shijie told him what had happened, he immediately developed a deep interest in Xia Liu…
