Supremely Talented Tyrant

Liang Xiaotang was petrified on the spot; that bastard was actually here too? How could she run into him everywhere she went?

The person Liang Xiaotang hated the most was Hao Jian, and the person she was most afraid of running into was also Hao Jian. She was no match for him, and she felt utterly ashamed in his presence.

"Divine Doctor Liang, that kid not only said that he was beaten by you but also claimed to be Liang Wangsun's apprentice. Isn't that funny?" Chen Zifan laughed heartily, thinking himself very humorous.

At that moment, Liang Xiaotang shot Chen Zifan a murderous look, "Is it funny?"

Chen Zifan thought it was funny, but Liang Xiaotang didn't find it amusing at all, because she truly was defeated by Hao Jian.

Seeing Liang Xiaotang's gloomy expression, Chen Zifan was also caught off guard and hurriedly said, "Divine Doctor Liang, these weren't my words, that kid said it!"

Although Chen Zifan appeared to be Liang Xiaotang's employer, he knew better than to provoke her. She had saved the lives of many people, some of whom were far superior to their family in terms of power and status. If Liang Xiaotang really decided to take action against their family, all she had to do was say the word, and there would be a whole bunch of people vying to help out.

After all, in this era, everyone is afraid of death, and everyone hopes to have a Divine Doctor on their side to help in critical moments.

Moreover, what was really important was that Liang Xiaotang had another identity besides being a Divine Doctor, and it was this identity that truly intimidated him.

"I asked you, do you think it's funny?" Liang Xiaotang demanded aggressively, her eyes seeming to breathe fire.

Both Chen Zifan and Chen Dexiu were bewildered, clueless as to why Liang Xiaotang had suddenly picked a quarrel with them.

"I'm asking you!" Liang Xiaotang roared like a mad person.

She was indeed furious, for losing to Hao Jian was a lifelong humiliation, and Chen Zifan's mockery only fueled her anger.

Chen Zhiyan and Chen Dexing were also stunned, unsure of what was wrong with Liang Xiaotang, who seemed like a lunatic.

"No... it's not funny!" Chen Zifan quickly shook his head, completely intimidated by Liang Xiaotang's demeanor.

"If it's not funny, why are you laughing?" Liang Xiaotang roared again, seemingly unwilling to let Chen Zifan off easily.

"Then... is it funny?" Chen Zifan asked tentatively.

"I laugh at your mother!" Liang Xiaotang, unable to contain her rage, swung her hand across Chen Zifan's face.

Chen Zifan was struck dumb on the spot; he was almost in tears. If not laughing was wrong and laughing was also wrong, should he laugh or not? At least give him a straight answer!

"Divine Doctor Liang, where did my son offend you? Just tell us, and I assure you he will change." Chen Dexiu tried to appease with a smile, not daring to upset Liang Xiaotang.

"Change? I'll change your mother's head!" Liang Xiaotang exploded, kicking Chen Dexiu hard in the stomach and knocking him to the ground.

"Dad, are you okay?" Chen Zifan rushed to help Chen Dexiu, then glared furiously at Liang Xiaotang, "Liang Xiaotang, have you gone mad? How have we offended you?"

"You mock me, and yet you say you haven't offended me?" Liang Xiaotang said with a face full of hatred.

"Mock you? When did we ever mock you?" Chen Zifan and Chen Dexiu were completely taken aback; they hadn't said anything at all.

"You all know that I lost to him, yet you mock me with it, and you say you're not mocking me?" Liang Xiaotang laughed bitterly, her face twisted with spite.

When Chen Zifan and Chen Dexiu heard Liang Xiaotang say this, they were instantly dumbstruck, their faces a picture of surprise.

Liang Xiaotang had really lost to this guy? Was this guy really as he claimed, a Divine Doctor even more formidable than Liang Xiaotang?

If it hadn't come from Liang Xiaotang's own mouth, Chen Zifan and his son would never have believed it to be true.

"Losing to him is my damn business, what's it to you? Who the hell are you to judge? You ****** what?" Liang Xiaotang said venomously, thinking that Chen Zifan and Chen Dexiu were deliberately irritating him with the knowledge that she had lost to Hao Jian.

"Divine Doctor Liang, you've misunderstood, we really didn't know that you lost to him," Chen Dexiu said, his voice filled with sorrow, knowing that Liang Xiaotang had misunderstood.

"You're still talking!" Liang Xiaotang's eyes were about to split with rage, and she lifted her leg, ready to kick Chen Dexiu again. How dare this guy bring up exactly the topic she least wanted to hear?

Chen Dexiu quickly curled up tightly, trembling all over, not daring to say another word.

"Two stupid pricks, inviting that son of a bitch and then inviting me, you're deliberately making fun of me, aren't you?" Liang Xiaotang scoffed coldly, clearly harboring deep resentment towards Hao Jian.

"Hey hey hey, I'm still here," Hao Jian complained, upset that Liang Xiaotang was cursing him right to his face, showing him no regard at all.

Liang Xiaotang turned her piercing gaze on Hao Jian, "Hao Jian, don't you feel smug. Though I lost to you once, at next month's international Traditional Chinese Medicine conference, I will defeat you! Do you have the courage to accept my challenge?"

"The defeated, why should I fear?" Hao Jian said nonchalantly.

Upon seeing Hao Jian's smugness, Chen Zifan and the others were also stunned. Was this guy too arrogant or what? After all, Liang Xiaotang was the youngest Divine Doctor of the era!

"Very well, very well, very well..." Liang Xiaotang's face darkened as he repeated the word three times, giving Hao Jian a thumbs-up, "You'll find out what real Traditional Chinese Medicine is when the time comes. I hope you can bring your mentor Liang Wangsun as well, so he can see how his disciple falls at my hands!"

Liang Xiaotang's words were like a bombshell, startling Chen Zifan and the others. Could it be that this guy was actually a disciple of Liang Wangsun?

Chen Zhiyan and Chen Dexing couldn't help but show a look of shock. Initially, they had some doubts about Hao Jian. Chen Dexing even thought Hao Jian was bragging, but it wasn't until Liang Xiaotang revealed the truth did they realize Hao Jian was truly formidable.

"After you defeat me, I'll take you to my mentor myself so you can humiliate him!" Hao Jian said rapidly, exuding supreme confidence.

"I'll be waiting," Liang Xiaotang snorted coldly and then turned to leave.

"Divine Doctor Liang, you haven't treated our illness yet." Chen Zifan hurriedly called out.

Liang Xiaotang looked at Chen Zifan coldly, "If you've already invited him, why do you need me?

Having said that, Liang Xiaotang ignored Chen Zifan and Chen Dexiu, who were already standing there dumbfounded, and walked away.

Not just them, even Chen Zhiyan and her father were dumbstruck. They too had thought Hao Jian only understood a little bit of medicine, never imagining that even a Divine Doctor like Liang Xiaotang would be defeated by him.

Chen Dexing couldn't help but be overjoyed, secretly pleased that he hadn't misjudged the person.

He had known from the start that Hao Jian was no ordinary person, and now it seemed he was indeed so.

At this time, Chen Zifan and Chen Dexiu's faces were looking pretty ugly, and their gaze towards Hao Jian was tinged with fear. If even someone of Liang Xiaotang's standing was humiliated by Hao Jian, how could they dare to challenge him?

With a background as profound as Liang Xiaotang's, if Hao Jian were just a nameless nobody, the former could put an end to him with a mere word.

Yet Hao Jian was still alive and well, which said everything. It wasn't that Liang Xiaotang didn't want to kill him, it was that he couldn't.

"Dad, let's go," Chen Zifan whispered to Chen Dexiu, realizing something was off. Hao Jian was definitely playing coy, he couldn't possibly be just an ordinary character.

Just the title of Liang Wangsun's disciple was enough trouble for them. Liang Wangsun was a towering figure in the medical field, even national leaders treated him with great respect, let alone them.

If they really did something to Hao Jian, and Liang Wangsun blamed them for it, they'd be in trouble.

"Right." Chen Dexiu also quickly nodded, knowing there was no hope for today's matter and that there was no point in staying any longer.

"Hold on, did I say you could leave?" Hao Jian suddenly shifted his gaze, firmly locking onto the two Chens.

Chen Zifan and his son suddenly changed their expressions, looking at Hao Jian somewhat unnaturally, their hearts uneasy.

"You will sit here obediently, wait until I've cured the old man, and then I have words for you," Hao Jian pointed at the two Chens as he spoke, his words carrying an undeniable authority.

Chen Zifan and Chen Dexiu exchanged glances, and both could not help but let out a wry smile, knowing Hao Jian didn't plan to let them off so easily.

"Old master, shall I have a look at you?" Hao Jian asked.

"That would be appreciated!" Chen Dexing nodded with a happy smile.

Hao Jian proceeded to take Chen Dexing's pulse and asked him to stick out his tongue to check its color, after which his expression grew more solemn.

Seeing this, Chen Zhiyan couldn't help but grow nervous, "How is it, is my father's illness very severe?"

"This... sigh..." Hao Jian seemed hesitant to speak.

Seeing this, Chen Dexing was actually much more composed, smiling, "Hao Jian, speak your mind. Life and death are predestined, and wealth and honor are in heaven's hands. Whatever the result is, I can bear it."

It was only then that Hao Jian began, "Old master, over seventy percent of your bodily functions are already necrotic, which is probably related to your state of mind. You have been in a state of anxiety and pessimism for a long time, which has accelerated the deterioration of your illness. If I don't treat you, you have at most two years left to live!"

"What?"

At these words, Chen Zhiyan was also shocked. Although she knew her father was seriously ill, she hadn't expected it to be this serious, with only two years left.

However, Chen Zifan and Chen Dexiu felt a surge of joy at the news. Chen Dexing was going to pass away so soon; after his death, the land would definitely fall into Chen Dexing's hands. Given how naïve Chen Dexing was, they might even be able to buy the land from her at a much lower price.

Hearing what Hao Jian said, Chen Dexing's face remained calm as he asked with a smile, "Then how long could I live if you saved me?"

"Ten years! You have only ten years left, and after that, even I will be helpless," Hao Jian sighed.

"It won't be like that. Aren't you a Divine Doctor? Liang Xiaotang has lost to you, so you must have a way to save my dad, right?" Chen Zhiyan clutched Hao Jian's hand tightly, refusing to let go as she looked at him pleadingly.
