Yang Feilong approached Li Zhengshan, sat on the chair by the bed, and began to take his pulse, closing his eyes and scanning Li Zhengshan’s body with his divine sense.
Li Zhengshan’s pulse was erratic, strong at times, and as weak as a thread at others, making him appear on the verge of death.
"He's putting on quite a show!" Liu Lei sneered inwardly.
Others might rely on various instruments for detection, but Yang Feilong’s soul detection was even more powerful than some instruments!
A moment later, Yang Feilong opened his eyes.
"Feilong, how is it? Can he be treated?" Li Yufei asked anxiously.
The others also looked towards Yang Feilong.
Li Gang was particularly tense, followed by Liu Lei. Of course, the former hoped Yang Feilong had a cure, while the latter did not.
"The old man has been poisoned! A very special kind of poison!" Yang Feilong said.
"It's poison, but do you know what kind?" a doctor interjected at this point.
The doctor wasn't surprised that it was poison, as he didn't know Yang Feilong had detected it himself; he had heard from others that quite a few people knew the old man was poisoned!
"It's a neurotoxin!" Yang Feilong mused. This poison was different from the one the Ouyang family patriarch had suffered, but its effects were somewhat similar.
Furthermore, the Ouyang family patriarch had been poisoned by accidentally entering the Mist Forest, while the Li family patriarch had been poisoned during a fight!
According to his detection, the Ouyang family patriarch's poison was more potent, while the Li family patriarch's poison was milder. So why did the Li family patriarch appear on the verge of death after only a few days?
It was because the Li family patriarch’s cultivation was too weak.
At least, the difference in strength compared to the Ouyang family patriarch was immense!
The Ouyang family patriarch was at the peak of the Earth Martial realm, while the Li family patriarch was only at the peak of the Spirit Martial realm, with the Yuan Martial realm being a major stage in between.
The stronger one's cultivation, the stronger their resistance!
Some individuals far more powerful than the Ouyang family patriarch might not even feel the slightest effect from such a poison!
"A neurotoxin?" One of the doctors’ eyes lit up slightly. "Do you have a cure?"
"If he had a cure, would he be beating around the bush like this?" Before Yang Feilong could reply, Liu Lei scoffed.
In his opinion, if Yang Feilong had a solution, he would have said so directly, not with this seemingly calm but inwardly panicked expression!
Although the others present didn't nod, they also felt Liu Lei had a point.
Yang Feilong's current demeanor did not suggest he could cure the illness!
Yang Feilong glanced at Liu Lei, who smirked back. Yang Feilong ignored him and turned to Li Gang, saying, "There are two methods of treatment!"
"Two methods?" Li Gang's face had been filled with disappointment, as he too thought Yang Feilong was helpless and hesitant to speak. But upon hearing Yang Feilong say there were methods, he was filled with surprise and shock.
"Two methods?"
Everyone stared at Yang Feilong, dumbfounded.
Li Yufei couldn't help but smile. She knew Yang Feilong wouldn't let her down. Indeed, he had a way to save her grandfather, and not just one, but two!
"Two methods? Such arrogance. Who can't boast? If anything happens to my grandfather, will you forfeit your life?" Li Feng's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, and then he sneered at Yang Feilong.
"Exactly! Grandpa Li's life is worth ten thousand times more than yours!" Liu Lei, who had also been startled, chimed in when he saw Li Feng confronting Yang Feilong.
Putting on a show of concern for the elder!
"Yes, will there be any accidents?"
"After all, many doctors have no solution!"
Hearing the two acting like jesters, Yang Feilong glanced at them, then turned to Li Gang. "Whether you want to proceed with the treatment, Uncle, please decide."
Li Gang's lips twitched. He knew Yang Feilong was somewhat displeased with him for letting his son and that Li Lei speak without reprimand. So, he coldly ordered Li Feng and Liu Lei, "Both of you shut up. If you speak one more word, get out!"
Both Li Feng and Liu Lei froze.
But leave?
How could they allow that!
So, they dared not say another word, only glaring at Yang Feilong with ill intent. They had said what they wanted to say, and if anything happened to the old man, their words would be prophetic!
Thinking of this, they felt a certain sense of anticipation!
The next moment, Li Gang looked at Yang Feilong and asked earnestly, "Nephew Feilong, do you have confidence?"
In his mind, Yang Feilong would surely say he had some confidence but also a possibility of unforeseen circumstances. If that were the case, he would be in a dilemma, as some confidence still meant a possibility of failure!
Of course, if Yang Feilong said so, everyone would consider it normal, as even the most skilled physician wouldn't guarantee no accidents. This was leaving himself an out!
"One hundred percent confidence!" Yang Feilong said calmly to Li Gang.
"One hundred percent confidence?" Li Gang gasped and looked at Yang Feilong.
The others also stared at Yang Feilong. Was he telling the truth? Was he leaving himself no room for error?
"Even a divine doctor wouldn't dare guarantee one hundred percent, what irresponsible bragging..." Liu Lei was about to retort, but Li Gang shot him a look. "Get out!"
"Uncle, I..."
"Get out!" Li Gang swept him with a cold gaze.
Liu Lei dared not look at Li Gang again. At this moment, he saw Li Feng's look, urging him to leave first.
Actually, Li Feng was quite exasperated. Didn't he see his father's warning to both of them? Utterly useless!
Liu Lei's face turned red. He lowered his head and dared not say anything more. "Then, Uncle, I'll wait outside."
Li Gang then turned to Yang Feilong. "Feilong, should we excuse ourselves?"
"It's necessary!" Yang Feilong nodded. "Having others present will affect my treatment!"
Actually, having more people wouldn't affect the treatment, but he simply didn't want so many people to witness the process!
"Uh." Li Gang had only asked casually, not expecting Yang Feilong to say that. The doctors present were also somewhat speechless. Some even asked if they could assist, but their offer was refused.
Thus, everyone retreated!
"Yang Feilong, I hope my grandfather isn't harmed by your treatment, or our Li family will not let you off!" Li Feng said, giving Yang Feilong a deep, threatening look.
Slap!
The next moment, a loud slap landed on Li Feng's face.
"Dad, you hit me..." Li Feng looked at his father with a flushed face.
"You scoundrel, get out of here now!" Li Gang berated him with a dark expression.
"..." Li Feng looked at his angry father, cast a resentful and humiliated glance at Yang Feilong, and then strode out of the room.
"Feilong, please don't take my worthless son's words to heart!" Li Gang apologized to Yang Feilong with a contrite look.
"It's alright!" Yang Feilong waved his hand. He had to admit, that slap felt satisfying. Of course, he also knew Li Gang did it to ensure he wouldn't treat the elder with any lingering resentment. If he hadn't cured him, the elder might have been held accountable. However, such things wouldn't happen. While he didn't fear the Li family, he didn't want Li Yufei to be sad, as this was her maternal grandfather, and he treated her very well!
The old man was innocent!
