In the courtyard.
Everyone was waiting.
"Sisi, can this human, um, your companion Doctor Yang, really cure your father?" Qing Luanxueli couldn't help but ask.
She wasn't doubting, but worried that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. It was known that the Woodpecker Divine Doctor's medical skills were already very impressive, but he was also helpless, having to leave a palliative method that did not address the root cause, temporarily suppressing the spread of the injury, and then seeking a more powerful divine doctor.
"If it doesn't work, won't we just be happy for nothing?"
"That's right!"
Everyone spoke up.
Hearing everyone's words, Alice didn't know how to answer. In fact, she was also uncertain. She mainly felt that the pills refined by Yang Feilong were extraordinary, far superior to those refined by Grandpa Woodpecker, so she indirectly believed that Yang Feilong's medical skills were more powerful and he should have a way to cure her father.
However, seeing the suspicious looks from everyone, she also became less confident.
If she said he could definitely cure him, but if he couldn't, it would not only make everyone happy for nothing but also leave Yang Feilong with a bad impression in the hearts of his tribesmen.
She actually didn't know why she was so worried about Yang Feilong leaving a bad impression in front of her tribesmen!
But if she said she was uncertain, everyone would probably start saying things like it's uncertain, and whether it would not only fail to cure but even worsen the person's condition!
"I feel he is too young, and if he could cure it, he wouldn't have let us out before. I feel he is still not confident, or just putting on a show! In fact, he is just trying to make you happy! Humans have low bloodlines, but they are extremely cunning and insidious!" At this moment, Zelian spoke.
He still couldn't help but badmouth Yang Feilong.
Mainly, he felt that Alice and that Yang Feilong's relationship was getting closer, which made him feel a deep sense of crisis. Therefore, whenever he had the chance, he didn't mind sowing discord, making Alice have a worse impression of Yang Feilong.
If this were the case, with a little more fanning the flames, perhaps that Yang Feilong would not be able to bear the humiliation and would voluntarily dissolve the equal contract!
The thought of his future wife being in a contract with another man made him feel disgusted and wronged, as if he were wearing a bright green hat!
"Shut up!" Hearing Zelian's words, Alice immediately reprimanded him coldly.
She had never heard a good word from this guy. Before, she hadn't felt that Zelian had so many flaws. But since returning this time, she felt he was full of shortcomings: arrogant, rude, gossiping behind people's backs, and spouting a lot of disheartening words that made people feel disgusted!
Tang Ya originally didn't want to say anything, but Zelian's repeated provocations and attempts to seek attention finally made her unable to hold back and she said, "My man's medical skills are far more advanced than the ability of some people to badmouth others!"
Hearing this, Zelian was furious and was about to retort to Tang Ya, but when he saw Alice looking at him with hostile eyes, he swallowed his words and his face became extremely ugly.
Why did his actions make Alice dislike him even more? And she was actually looking at him with eyes like an enemy! What wrong had he done?
In fact, even Zelian's parents couldn't stand it. They secretly had a headache. "Son, we are just suspicious, but you are taking it to such an extreme, almost saying that human is a big liar!
Even if that person is deceiving Alice, he is also Alice's savior!
They were all reflecting on whether they had protected Zelian too much. Although he was over a hundred years old, he was still young and should go out and see more of the world!
Otherwise, if this continues, there will be problems sooner or later.
And at this moment, Yang Feilong's voice appeared outside the door. Seeing Yang Feilong's tired face, Zelian couldn't help it again and sneered, "See? I told you he was a cunning person, didn't I? It's just curing an illness, and he looks like he fought a battle. He's really good at acting!"
Originally, everyone wanted to ask Yang Feilong how it went, but hearing Zelian's words, and because Zelian was one of their own, they thought with a bias, could it be true?
Yang Feilong, upon exiting, heard Zelian's sarcastic words.
He glanced up at him and didn't look again. He was too lazy to argue with such a low EQ guy, because such guys always like to drag their opponents' IQ down to their level, and then defeat their opponents with their rich experience of low intelligence!
If he argued, he would lose!
"Did you cure my father?" Alice asked Yang Feilong with a worried look.
"No..." Yang Feilong shook his head. He hadn't completely cured him; it would require a few more treatments to be completely healed, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by that low EQ guy.
"I told you, he can't cure it, what about it? I was right!" Zelian looked at Yang Feilong with an expression that said, "I saw through the truth long ago," and then looked at Alice, as if saying, "Praise me quickly, how is my wisdom and deduction? Isn't it amazing!"
Except for Tang Ya and Alice, almost everyone present thought that Zelian's previous deduction might be correct. This human, Yang Feilong, might really be deceiving Alice, or even saving Alice might have been a setup.
Suddenly, everyone's gaze towards Yang Feilong became unfriendly.
And at this moment, a figure walked out of the house. When they saw the figure coming out, those who suspected Yang Feilong were stunned.
"Father, you, why are you out?" Alice's face showed surprise and joy.
"Ed, you..." Xueli looked incredulous.
"If I don't come out, a savior who saved me will immediately be accused of being a swindler by you all!" Ed said coldly. "He used all his strength to save me and was extremely depleted, and you see it as acting and trying to win Sisi's favor? You have truly disappointed me!"
As soon as he said this, everyone present was shocked, and then showed shame.
And the most satisfied person in the whole audience was undoubtedly Tang Ya. She had been feeling wronged before, and now seeing these people being reprimanded by Ed and showing shame made her feel extremely pleased!
"Are you alright?" Xueli suppressed her anxiety, fearing it was an illusion, but with uncontrollable excitement and joy.
Being proven wrong was good!
After all, if her husband was well, she would have a pillar of support. Her gaze towards Yang Feilong also softened. This Yang Feilong was good, very good!
It was truly prescient of their daughter to form an equal contract with him!
"Although there will be a few more treatments needed for complete recovery, there is no major problem with curing it. In just the first treatment, two-tenths of the dao injury has been healed. After a few more treatments by Feilong, I will be completely healed!" Ed nodded and said with a smile, completely reassuring his wife.
"No, no, he's a liar, how could he cure it?" Zelian looked dejected.
"Zelian, are you unhappy that I am cured?" Ed raised an eyebrow.
"Of course I'm not... happy, happy!" Zelian forced a smile that was uglier than crying. He didn't know if he should be happy or unhappy.
Because Ed was cured, Yang Feilong's tired appearance made sense, and he truly became an envious clown!
I, I just like Alice, why is this happening to me?
But if he wasn't happy, then as the head of the clan, you don't want someone to be cured? What kind of heart do you have?
He, Zelian, was in too much of a predicament!
*Pa!*
Zelian's father slapped Zelian's head a few times, making loud smacking sounds, while looking apologetically at Ed and bowing, "Sorry, Clan Leader, he is just too happy, that's why he's talking nonsense."
Ed didn't dwell on it. He had previously thought Zelian was not bad and that marrying his daughter to him seemed like a good idea, because although his talent was not as good as his daughter's, he was intelligent and talented. But now, he felt that marrying his daughter to him would be pushing his daughter into a fiery pit.
