Peerless Medical Emperor

Chapter 5: Chapter 5: The Medical Dao Alliance Seeks an Audience

After bringing Lin Qingmeng home, she asked impatiently, "Brother, can my mother really be saved? When are you going to save her?"

Right now, all she cared about was whether her mother would live or die.

She had believed her mother was dead and had already begun preparing for the funeral, but Chen Qingdi’s return gave her a sliver of hope.

"I’ll go treat Godmother right now!"

Chen Qingdi patted Lin Qingmeng’s shoulder, signaling for her not to worry, then walked toward the room.

Lin Zhongxue was lying on the bed, looking just as she did yesterday, without the slightest sign of life.

Chen Qingdi calmly sat down, took out an old needle pouch from his clothes, and opened it to reveal twelve Golden Needles of varying lengths and thicknesses.

Then, he lifted Lin Zhongxue’s clothes and inserted the Golden Needles one by one into her body.

Watching Chen Qingdi’s movements, Lin Qingmeng’s heart leaped into her throat.

"Brother, will this really work?"

Her family could be considered a lineage of medical practitioners, but she couldn’t make heads or tails of Chen Qingdi’s acupuncture technique. She had no idea if it would have any effect on Lin Zhongxue.

"Don’t worry. Fifteen minutes is all I need."

As Chen Qingdi spoke, his expression grew more serious, and his hands moved with increasing speed.

But for all his haste, each needle was placed with exceptional steadiness!

Once all twelve Golden Needles were inserted into Lin Zhongxue’s body, Chen Qingdi held his breath, focused his mind, and placed his palm over them.

Although his palm was still some distance from the Golden Needles, Lin Qingmeng could clearly see all twelve of them begin to tremble.

’What... What is this? Telekinesis?’

A few minutes later, Lin Zhongxue suddenly coughed on the bed, spitting out a mouthful of black blood!

"Mom!"

Seeing her mother stir, Lin Qingmeng gratefully took her hand.

The woman on the bed slowly woke up, looking at her surroundings as if a lifetime had passed.

「Carefree City!」

This was a famous business club in Jinghai, a place where many wealthy people came to relax when they were tired.

Of course, many also came here to talk business.

At this moment, in a private room, the leaders of the Four Great Clans were gathered together.

The incident where Chen Qingdi sent a coffin to the wedding banquet had enraged the Four Great Clans. They were now discussing how to deal with that brat.

Regardless of what skills the brat himself had, that man in black at the wedding banquet had single-handedly crippled dozens of the Zhao Family’s bodyguards!

"Your Excellency, the Envoy, this brat is targeting the Four Great Clans! It’s a blatant provocation against our Medical Dao Alliance!"

A slightly chubby, middle-aged man said this while looking at a woman in a red dress.

This man was Zhao Huadong, the Patriarch of the Zhao Family and Zhao Tianhao’s father.

The woman before him was an envoy from the Medical Dao Alliance.

The day’s events had severely damaged the prestige of the Medical Dao Alliance, which was why the higher-ups had sent this woman as a representative to handle the matter.

"Exactly! We can’t just let this go!"

"We have to teach that brat a lesson!"

"A lesson? That’s not enough! I’d love to hang his head on the old city gates of Jinghai!"

"Damn it! That punk is completely disrespecting our Medical Dao Alliance!"

"Your Excellency, you have to step in on this matter!"

Their bickering gave the woman a headache.

The woman slammed her palm on the table and snapped coldly, "Enough!"

As the woman’s voice fell, the men instantly fell silent.

"I’ve received news that the new Palace Master of the Medical God Hall has appeared in Jinghai. I am here to pay respects to the Medical God on behalf of our Alliance Master, not to clean up your stupid messes!"

The woman looked at them and said coldly, "The Four Great Clans of Jinghai? You can’t even handle one little good-for-nothing, and you have the nerve to ask for my help?"

Hearing the woman’s words, the men all lowered their heads.

Although the woman’s words were harsh, she was still an envoy of the Medical Dao Alliance and represented the Alliance Master. The Four Great Clans could not afford to offend her.

"Handle this trivial matter yourselves."

After speaking, the woman clapped her hands, and a man and a woman immediately walked in from outside. "Qingfeng! Mingyue!"

"Here!" the two answered in unison.

"You two stay and help them. I have other business. No one can bear the responsibility if I’m delayed in paying my respects to the Medical God!"

With that, the woman rose and left the room.

Meanwhile, Chen Yuan received a message.

The envoy of the Medical Dao Alliance requested an audience with the Palace Master of the Medical God Hall. The message stated that the Medical Dao Alliance was completely loyal to the Medical God Hall and hoped to take this opportunity to meet the Palace Master.

After receiving the message, Chen Yuan immediately went to find Chen Qingdi.

"Emperor’s Physician, the envoy from the Medical Dao Alliance requests an audience. She says she wishes to pay her respects to you."

"The Medical Dao Alliance?"

Chen Qingdi lifted his gaze, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He sneered, "They made a move on my godmother, and now they want to see me?"

"Tell the people from the Medical Dao Alliance that I have no desire to see them!"

A chilling light flashed in Chen Qingdi’s eyes. "Tell them to get lost. Otherwise, I wouldn’t mind wiping out the Medical Dao Alliance while I’m at it!"

"Yes, sir!" Chen Yuan replied respectfully and walked out.

Chen Qingdi narrowed his eyes and looked out the window. ’Jinghai has changed quite a bit in five years.’

’But now that I’m back, I don’t mind changing the heavens a little more!’

When the mysterious woman received the reply, she was completely stunned. ’The Medical Dao Alliance hasn’t offended the Medical God Hall, have we?’

’Besides, even if we wanted to, we wouldn’t have the guts!’

’But from the new Palace Master’s attitude, it’s as if the Medical Dao Alliance committed some unforgivable sin.’

"Guards!"

The woman immediately shouted toward the door.

A man in black entered. "What are your orders, Envoy?"

"Go! Find out if anyone from the Medical Dao Alliance has offended someone important recently! And find the residence of the new Palace Master of the Medical God Hall as quickly as possible!" the woman ordered.

"Yes!"

If the other party had simply refused to see her without saying anything, it would have been one thing.

But he had clearly expressed his displeasure. If she were to just return empty-handed, that would be truly courting death.

She had to find out who was so reckless as to offend even the Palace Master of the Medical God Hall.

Once she found out, she would have to take that person’s head and present it to the Palace Master of the Medical God Hall as an apology!

Never mind the entire Dragon Country; anyone in the entire world would feel their soul tremble at the mere mention of the Medical God Hall.

No one could afford to offend such a power, and the Medical Dao Alliance was no exception.

Meanwhile, the Four Great Clans had already assembled their ten greatest masters. Along with Qingfeng and Mingyue, the large contingent headed imposingly toward Lin Zhongxue’s home.

He had caused a scene at the Zhao Family young master’s wedding banquet and even crippled Zhao Tianhao on the spot.

If they didn’t kill this Chen Qingdi, then likely no one in all of Jinghai would ever take the Four Great Clans seriously again.
