A single sentence that claimed a cure nearly caused the entire meeting room to explode.
Xiao Tengfei even grabbed Yang Feilong's hand, asking excitedly, "Can it really be cured?"
"It should be close. Of course, it depends on the treatment effect!" Yang Feilong naturally knew why the Xiao family was so excited. They felt the pressure from the Xiantian realm experts and desperately wished for their family to have another Xiantian realm expert.
Xiantian realm experts were beings at the pinnacle of the secular world!
The Yang family having one Xiantian expert had put the Xiao family in such a passive position, which showed the extraordinary power of a Xiantian realm expert!
"Your martial arts talent is so formidable, and your medical skills are also so impressive?" someone asked incredulously.
It wasn't that they doubted him, or were trying to pour cold water.
The main reason was that a person's energy was limited. Yang Feilong's talent in martial arts was too high, and he was so young. How could he possibly be so skilled in medicine too? As the saying goes, a person's energy is limited.
It was difficult to be proficient in everything.
"My boyfriend's medical talent is even stronger than his martial arts talent!" Xiao Jingwen said proudly, "Let me tell you, my cousin Mi Kang's illness was cured by my boyfriend!"
Did Mi Kang have an illness? Everyone was bewildered.
Well, Mi Kang's illness was quite private, and few people knew about it.
Even Xiao Jingwen didn't know what illness Mi Kang had, let alone others. Those who had less contact with Mi Kang.
Mi Kang and Mi Ya's mother were from the Xiao family, so when they heard Xiao Jingwen say this, their doubts grew even more!
Xiao Jingwen was anxious and didn't know how to explain. The reason she said Yang Feilong's medical talent was stronger than his martial arts talent was because she had heard Yang Feilong mention it when they were chatting. She had always believed what Yang Feilong said.
In fact, Yang Feilong's talent in medicine was indeed more outstanding than his talent in martial arts. Of course, if the Yin-Yang physique were perfected, it would be hard to say!
In short, Yang Feilong was very confident in his medical talent.
This confidence naturally stemmed from his master's teachings and praise.
His master didn't praise his cultivation talent but rather his comprehension in medicine, which indicated that his medical talent was indeed good.
Yang Feilong chuckled and said, "Alright, let's not talk about all that. Old Master, if you are willing to let me treat you, let's go now!"
"Of course, I am willing. I can't ask for more! It's just noon now, won't you eat lunch?" Although Xiao Xuhong was extremely eager and urgent for Yang Feilong to treat him, he still said.
After all, Yang Feilong had been assessed by their Xiao family since he arrived. He hadn't even had a bite to eat, and now he was going to treat his hidden ailment. How could he feel at ease?
"Eating is not urgent. Treating your hidden ailment won't take much time. You are already looking forward to it, so why would I make you wait until after a meal?" Yang Feilong smiled.
In fact, he was confident in treating the other party's hidden ailment, but for the sake of caution, he hadn't spoken so definitively earlier. Hearing everyone's doubts and seeing Xiao Jingwen's embarrassed anger when she heard the doubts, he wanted to quickly prove what Xiao Jingwen had said.
Besides, everyone was eagerly anticipating it, and with such anticipation, they probably wouldn't even enjoy their lunch!
"Furthermore, being in an empty stomach state is better for breaking through to Xiantian. Because once you break through to Xiantian, you can consume the essence of the world and maintain a clear mind. I feel it would be more conducive to your breakthrough, Old Master!" Yang Feilong said.
"Well, then please proceed with the treatment, young divine doctor!" Xiao Xuhong said with a smile. "Of course, if it fails, please don't be discouraged. After all, I've consulted many divine doctors, and they all failed!"
He naturally wanted to prevent Yang Feilong from blaming himself if the treatment failed, and for others to accuse Yang Feilong of boasting.
He was quite satisfied with Yang Feilong.
Yang Feilong smiled and didn't explain. However, he understood that the old master's words were well-intentioned, so he didn't refute them.
...
In Xiao Xuhong's room.
Xiao Xuhong was also quite anxious. At this moment, he was more nervous than when he first began cultivating. But he was afraid that too much hope would lead to too much disappointment. He hadn't been this urgent before, but it was different now. If he could break through to the Xiantian realm, then even if the Xiao family was still weaker than the Yang family, the gap would be limited. And once Yang Feilong grew stronger, the Xiao family would have a powerful helper, and then who in the secular world would dare to provoke them? The Yang family would probably have to soften their stance and bow down!
"Old Master, don't be nervous. For me, this hidden ailment is really not difficult. Of course, if you are still nervous, just pretend I can't cure it and don't have too much expectation, then you won't be nervous," Yang Feilong chuckled. His cultivation had reached the seventh level of Qi Refining, and his Netherworld Life-Taking Needles had become even stronger. Coupled with his powerful soul force and the extraordinary nature of his Yin-Yang True Qi, treating such a hidden ailment would be very easy.
"I'm not nervous." Xiao Xuhong's old face reddened slightly, but after Yang Feilong said that, he indeed felt much more relaxed.
Yang Feilong smiled and didn't say much more. He knew that being nervous in such a situation was only human.
Then he began the treatment.
At the same time, outside the room.
Everyone held their breath, quietly awaiting the results of Yang Feilong's treatment inside. In fact, whether they held their breath or not outside would not affect the treatment inside, because the old master's cultivation and sleeping room was equipped with a suppression formation, as he had been in seclusion for many years attempting to break through to Xiantian. However, they were still worried, fearing that heavy breathing might affect Yang Feilong's treatment effect.
At this moment, for those outside, every second felt like an eternity.
Although Xiao Jingwen had confidence in Yang Feilong, seeing everyone's nervousness, she also became somewhat anxious due to the atmosphere.
"Husband, you should be able to cure my great-grandfather's hidden ailment, right?" Xiao Jingwen thought expectantly. "You will, you definitely will, because you have never disappointed me!"
After an unknown amount of time passed, everyone felt it had been a long time, but in reality, it was only a little over half an hour.
Creak!
The door opened, and a figure appeared in everyone's sight. It was not Yang Feilong, but the Xiao family's ancestor, Xiao Xuhong.
"Dad, is it cured?"
"Grandpa, where is Feilong? Have you cured it?"
Everyone held their breath, looking at Xiao Xuhong.
"Alas!" Xiao Xuhong's sigh was the response to everyone.
"As expected, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!"
"I can't believe I trusted him so much, and he still failed! All that emotion was wasted!"
"Did it fail? Why did it fail?"
"Because failure is normal. No matter how high his medical skills are, he is still too young. Even many divine doctors couldn't do anything about it. It would be strange if he could cure it."
At this moment, Xiao Jingwen looked bewildered, unable to believe that Yang Feilong, who had always been omnipotent in her heart, had failed.
Hearing everyone's volleys of questions, Xiao Xuhong said inexplicably, "Who told you it failed?"
"Uh!" At these words, everyone seemed to have their throats choked, staring at their ancestor dumbfounded.
"Dad, it didn't fail, why are you sighing?" Xiao Mo asked cautiously, suppressing his inner emotions.
"I'm sighing because I'm bewildered. This hidden ailment that has troubled me for so long, and that so many divine doctors couldn't cure, has been healed by Feilong just like that. For some reason, I feel a sense of loss!" Xiao Xuhong explained with a touch of Versailles.
Hearing Xiao Xuhong's explanation, everyone was speechless.
"......"
What a damn sense of loss! Old Master, when did you become so ostentatious?
