Tang Yun and Lin Li both looked at Chen Jie in surprise.
Their gazes were different from before.
"Xiao Peng, what's happening to me? Is it serious?" Lin Li asked subconsciously.
Peng Ze said, "Uncle Lin, your condition does indeed differ from what I diagnosed before. Although there's nothing visible on the surface of your upper thigh, when I touch it, it's much harder than other areas."
"Ah, what's going on? Can it be cured?" Lin Li became flustered and asked excitedly.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Let Xiao Peng take a look first! Let me see!" Tang Yun scolded him seeing his urgency, then stepped forward to feel.
"It is indeed hard, but unfortunately, it's in the wrong place!" Tang Yun muttered.
Lin Li's old face flushed red.
Lin Shuang subtly chided her mother, saying things without considering the occasion.
"It's fine. My preliminary diagnosis is that you have a tumor in your upper thigh!" Peng Ze finished, then couldn't help but glance at Chen Jie.
Seeing that Chen Jie didn't object, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ah? A tumor?" Lin Li's face turned pale.
This was a tumor, and he was saying it was fine, was he playing with me!
"Uncle Lin, there's no need to worry. This is not the dreaded disease you imagine. It's still in the early stages of development. With my massage techniques, it will disappear soon!"
"Ah? That's great!" Lin Li breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Chen Jie frowned, about to say something.
But Peng Ze spoke first, "I admit, Brother Chen's insight is more unique than mine, but the subsequent treatment is the main event!"
"Generally, to eliminate such a tumor, it requires special medication and surgery for a complete cure. However, today I will only use manual manipulation to make the tumor disappear from Uncle Lin."
"That miraculous?" Lin Li was excited.
This way, he wouldn't have to suffer!
"The Ghost Valley Hand Massage style I used earlier was indeed not quite appropriate. Now, I will use the sixth style of the Ghost Valley Hand, the Striking style! To shatter Uncle Lin's tumor!"
"I'm starting now!"
Chen Jie's brows furrowed, and he said again, "I suggest you use acupuncture to resolve it!"
"Heh heh, Brother Chen has his own treatment methods, but we disciples of the Gui Gu Zi sect also have our own methods. If I fail, Brother Chen can still use acupuncture then!" Peng Ze said with a smile.
He simply didn't believe he would fail.
Today, he would vindicate the Gui Gu sect!
Let the world see how powerful the disciples of Gui Gu Zi were!
"That's fine, I'll step in if you fail. Then, you may begin." Chen Jie's tone suggested that Peng Ze was bound to fail.
Even with his good temperament, a hint of displeasure flashed in Peng Ze's heart.
He had never belittled Chen Jie, yet Chen Jie inadvertently made himself seem superior and more skilled.
Truly ignorant!
Peng Ze thought to himself, "Just seeking attention! When I make the tumor disappear with the Ghost Valley Hand, let's see how you handle it!"
With that thought, he immediately reached out.
The Striking style involved tapping on the affected area with special techniques.
This would disrupt the lesion, causing it to lose its vitality and be expelled from the body through metabolism.
*Pa pa pa...*
After a round of tapping, fine sweat gradually appeared on Peng Ze's face.
He was severely depleted.
But as he tapped, Lin Li's expression, which had initially been pained, gradually relaxed.
With the *pa pa* sounds, he even seemed to be enjoying it. "I feel unprecedented comfort in my body. Even the fatigue from staying up late yesterday has disappeared!"
"It seems Xiao Peng's medical skills are truly miraculous!" Tang Yun praised.
The young man in his thirties who had come to compete also looked at Peng Ze in astonishment.
At this moment, Peng Ze let out a long breath.
Then he withdrew his hand.
"Done!"
"Xiao Peng, hurry and wipe your sweat!" Tang Yun, seeing this, nimbly handed Peng Ze a towel.
Peng Ze was now drenched in sweat and looked extremely exhausted.
In just a few minutes, he looked this tired, which was truly admirable.
Peng Ze wiped his brow and said calmly, "Alright, Uncle Lin can check his body now."
Lin Li heard this and quickly reached out to feel himself, then stood up and moved his legs.
Immediately, he looked excited. "I'm better! My leg is healed! I feel no discomfort at all now, and that lump has disappeared!"
"Son-in-law, you've saved my life! Please accept this bow from your father-in-law!" Lin Li bowed to Peng Ze excitedly.
"Uncle Lin, please don't. Saving lives and healing the injured is our duty as physicians! There's no need for such gratitude!" Peng Ze quickly helped Lin Li up.
He turned to Chen Jie and asked, "Brother Chen, is my method of treating illness and saving people acceptable?"
Chen Jie nodded. "It is indeed acceptable. It's a pity you used the wrong method."
He still wouldn't admit his own superiority?
A hint of displeasure flashed in Peng Ze's mind.
He then smiled and said, "I said, traditional treatment methods are acupuncture, but we disciples of Gui Gu Zi have our own methods. Brother Chen doesn't understand us, so perhaps you have a prejudice."
"Sometimes traditional treatment methods are not necessarily inferior," Chen Jie said.
Peng Ze's displeasure deepened.
Was it really that difficult to acknowledge another's excellence?
He wanted to retort, but then he thought, the more arrogant Chen Jie appeared, the more annoying he would be. He just needed to amplify this flaw of Chen Jie, and others would naturally stop liking him.
"Heh heh, it seems Brother Chen's medical skills might indeed be superior to mine, but unfortunately, I have already cured Uncle Lin's illness, so there's no opportunity to verify Brother Chen's skills."
"No! The opportunity will come! And it will be soon," Chen Jie said.
"What do you mean?" Peng Ze asked doubtfully.
"You haven't cured Uncle Lin's illness." Chen Jie said.
Tang Yun immediately retorted angrily, "Kid, what nonsense are you talking about? The illness is completely cured! You won't even admit that!"
"Fine! Are you wishing for Lin Shuang's father to have an accident? We initially just wanted you to back down and save you some face, but we didn't expect you to be so despicable. Since that's the case, we don't need to hold back anymore!"
"Get out!"
"Mom!" Lin Shuang immediately stopped her.
"You too, shut up! Look at the kind of people you've brought! If you talk back to me again, you can get out with them! We don't have a daughter like you!"
Lin Shuang's face filled with grievance.
It was evident that she cared about her parents' feelings.
Being scolded like this, she didn't retort.
"Did you hear me? Get out!" Tang Yun shouted at Chen Jie again.
"Chen Jie, I'll go with you!" Lin Shuang, unable to bear it, grabbed Chen Jie and walked towards the door.
Chen Jie didn't resist and left with her.
