Chapter 256 Conflict Immediately Upon Meeting
Xiao Chen's skills were truly astonishing.
A king-level expert in his early twenties would be incredibly powerful anywhere in the Xia Kingdom.
"What? King-level?"
Ouyang Muxue just entered the hall and happened to see Xiao Chen seriously injuring the old man. Her eyes immediately lit up with surprise.
Upon hearing the old man's exclamation, she couldn't help but open her mouth slightly, also quite astonished.
The Ouyang family is a low-profile family that has always passed down its martial arts tradition.
She is also a martial artist, and her talent is exceptional, having reached the level of a peak ordinary martial artist.
Among the younger generation in Xia Kingdom, he can be considered a brilliant genius.
Compared to that person, she instantly paled in comparison.
Ouyang Muxue found it hard to believe that a doctor could achieve the King level at a similar age.
She couldn't help but feel a bit curious about Xiao Chen.
"I knew it, he must be an extraordinary person." Ouyang Muxue was glad that she had invited him in.
"I don't know this gentleman's name. It is my Ouyang family's fault for being so disrespectful. Please forgive us!" She moved gracefully to a spot not far from Xiao Chen, bowed slightly, and said.
"My name is Chen Xiao, a commoner from Nancheng Township, who only has a little knowledge of medicine," Xiao Chen said calmly.
"Didn't you say your medical skills surpass everyone else's?" someone said.
"I have some medical knowledge, but your medical skills are all rather rudimentary," Xiao Chen replied expressionlessly.
"What did you say?" The renowned doctors present all showed their anger.
They are all renowned figures in the medical field, and ordinary people would never be able to hire them, yet they were insulted by a young man like this.
The King level is remarkable, but they don't believe that Xiao Chen is also proficient in medicine.
After all, medical skills require years of immersion and countless accumulations of experience. I've only ever heard of highly skilled old doctors, never seen a young, renowned one.
"Chang You, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, has arrived!" A voice suddenly announced from outside.
Ouyang Muxue was slightly startled, apologized, and went out to greet them.
Everyone in the hall stood up.
Only Xiao Chen sat there, sipping tea amidst the gnarled roots of an old tree.
Before long, Ouyang Muxue personally led the two in.
The man in the lead was tall and imposing, with striking eyebrows and bright eyes, exuding extraordinary heroic spirit; he must be Chang You.
The next person had white hair and beard, and had the air of a hermit, exuding the aura of a superior being.
That was the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley.
The two were followed by attendants.
Xiao Chen looked up and glanced at it, his expression shifting slightly.
The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley possessed a calm and composed aura, indicating considerable strength.
Without a doubt, that was a king-level being.
Moreover, its level is not low, at least second-order, and possibly third-order.
"Please come in, both of you." Ouyang Muxue politely led the two in, and ordered someone to add two chairs next to Xiao Chen, inviting them to sit down.
Seeing that Xiao Chen was sitting in the same place as them, the two of them glanced at Xiao Chen without leaving a trace.
Chang You's gaze sharpened, her face turning cold.
He didn't expect Xiao Chen to come too.
For some unknown reason, he gave a cold laugh.
This is the Ouyang family residence, so he couldn't cause a scene. In order not to ruin his image, he pretended not to know Xiao Chen.
The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley paused slightly, seemingly sensing that Xiao Chen was no ordinary person.
"Mu Xue, there's no need for such formalities between us," Chang You said with a gentle smile.
"You flatter me. Propriety must not be disregarded," Ouyang Muxue replied with a smile.
Although the face is smiling, the intention to distance oneself and keep one's distance is quite obvious.
Chang You didn't care.
"You must have heard of the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley long ago. I went to great lengths to invite him here this time. He will surely be able to cure your grandfather's illness!"
"Thank you, Young Master Chang." Ouyang Muxue bowed in gratitude.
"Thank you, Valley Master, for coming out of the mountain to treat me."
The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley nodded slightly.
"May I ask where this physician is from?" he asked, looking at Xiao Chen.
“This is Dr. Chen Xiao,” Ouyang Muxue quickly replied.
"Never heard of it. Is it famous?" the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley said indifferently, not even glancing at Xiao Chen, and took a sip of his tea.
“The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley is known as a divine physician and has always considered himself a leading physician in the Xia Kingdom. Mu Xue, how can you let an unknown kid sit on the same level as him? Isn’t that going to anger him?” Chang You whispered to Ouyang Mu Xue.
“But that person is not simple either…” Ouyang Muxue replied.
"Even if he's not simple, can he compare to the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley? Not just anyone is worthy of sitting with the Valley Master!" Chang You's face darkened.
Ouyang Muxue was caught in a dilemma.
After thinking about it, she decided to ask Xiao Chen for his opinion and let the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley sit alone in the main seat.
However, she was just about to speak...
"What is the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley? Is he very famous?" Xiao Chen suddenly asked, his words startling.
Ouyang Muxue was stunned.
Everyone present looked at them with astonishment, as if they were looking at an idiot.
Even the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley doesn't know?
This isn't something to brag about, is it?
In the field of medicine in Xia Kingdom, he is a titan...
The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley's face instantly darkened.
"Snapped!"
He slammed the teacup to the ground, shattering it.
"What did you say?" He stared at Xiao Chen coldly, his murderous aura palpable.
It seemed as if he was about to teach Xiao Chen a lesson at the slightest provocation.
"How dare you! How dare you offend the Valley Master?" Chang You shouted coldly.
“You’re no better,” Xiao Chen said.
Chang You, hehe...
"How dare you!" Chang You roared in fury.
"A mere commoner dares to insult my young master! He has no sense of right and wrong!"
The attendant standing nearby shouted and immediately attacked Xiao Chen.
This attendant was quite capable, even stronger than Ouyang Muxue. Xiao Chen was just a physician, so he naturally didn't take him seriously.
He was very confident that he could take down Xiao Chen with just one hand.
But Xiao Chen merely flicked his hand, and the attendant flew out, landing face-first in the mud, blood gushing from his mouth and nose.
Even a king-level martial artist is like a chick in front of him, not worth mentioning, let alone a follower.
Everyone was shocked.
That's the adopted son of the Prince of Pingbei, whose status is extremely noble. How dare he lay a hand on his attendants? Does he have a death wish?
Ouyang Muxue felt a headache coming on.
This Mr. Chen Xiao, who supposedly has "some medical knowledge," is truly audacious.
What gives him such confidence?
Even a king-level official is useless if you offend the Pingbei Prince's Mansion.
"Young man, there are always people more capable than you. Arrogance brings rain, and arrogance brings disaster!" the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley said coldly, his tone full of warning.
"Old bastard, have you forgotten about challenging someone twenty years ago and being utterly crushed in both martial arts and medicine? Back then you swore you would never step out of Medicine King Valley again, so why are you popping up here causing trouble again?" Xiao Chen mocked.
The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley immediately widened his eyes, his face filled with shock.
"Where did you learn all this?" he asked incredulously.
That matter should not have been known to any third party.
Xiao Chen chuckled softly.
The teacher told him this himself, but it became a topic of conversation over tea.
