The Wild Doctor and the Fair Beauty

Chapter 246: Chapter 246: The Mu Family’s Unreasonable Request

"My apologies, Master Xue. I didn’t mean to."

Realizing her disrespect, Mu Huang hastily rephrased her question. "Master Xue, is Mr. Jiang at the Yan Family residence?"

"My Master is indeed here," Xue Zhong confirmed with a nod.

"That’s wonderful," Mu Huang exclaimed, overjoyed.

"Master Xue, you’ve become Mr. Jiang’s apprentice?" Mu Jianni, standing beside her, suddenly realized.

"That’s right. My Master is an expert in the medical arts, and I am fortunate enough to serve under him." Xue Zhong tilted his head back slightly, his heart swelling with pride.

"So it’s true! Mr. Jiang is the legendary Divine Doctor Jiang! This is wonderful," Mu Huang said, her face beaming with joy.

Her granddaughter, Mu Jianni, had an even more captivated expression, and she lowered her head with a sudden, inexplicable shyness.

"I have important business to attend to. Whether or not you can see Mr. Jiang will be up to fate." With that, Xue Zhong quickly got into a car and left.

Mu Huang and Mu Jianni stepped forward to announce their arrival. Soon after, Yan Qingshan walked out to meet them.

Jiang Xinghai was walking over as well.

"Grandmother, Mr. Jiang really is coming to see us!" Mu Jianni grew even more excited.

"Of course he is. With my granddaughter’s peerless beauty, Mr. Jiang definitely remembered you," Mu Huang said with a gratified smile.

Little did they know, Jiang Xinghai and Yan Qingshan were just heading out to the Martial Arts Department.

"Divine Doctor Jiang! Patriarch Yan!"

Leading Mu Jianni by the hand, Mu Huang hurried forward with quick, delicate steps. "Divine Doctor Jiang, what a coincidence! Last time you visited my home, I didn’t get to host you properly. Please, don’t refuse me today."

Both women were dressed in the latest style of qipaos. Mu Huang wore one with a dark blue floral pattern, while Mu Jianni’s was a short, pink-and-white version.

"Hello, Divine Doctor Jiang," Mu Jianni said, stepping forward with a polite bow.

"The Mu Family. I remember you."

Jiang Xinghai’s expression was blank. "What is it?"

"Ah, yes. I heard that after the recent upheaval and change of leadership in Jizhou’s underworld, my black sheep of a son, Mu Qixuan of the Jizhou Mu Family, is still alive. I also heard that the current man in charge of the underworld is Young Master Ma Long, the same man who accompanied you to our home," Mu Huang said all in one breath.

"That is correct," Jiang Xinghai nodded.

"I’d like to ask you, Divine Doctor Jiang, to help the Mu Family and spare my son’s life. You can name any price," Mu Huang said hastily.

"I need a Third-Grade... no, a Second-Grade or higher Spiritual Medicine. Does the Mu Family have such a thing?" Jiang Xinghai offered, giving them a chance.

Hearing this, Mu Huang felt a pang of despair and stammered, "Divine Doctor Jiang, Graded Spiritual Medicines are exceptionally rare. Our family only possesses a single stalk of First-Grade Spirit Rock Grass. Will that do?"

"Are you certain it’s Spirit Rock Grass?" Jiang Xinghai’s eyes flashed.

"I’m certain. That Spirit Rock Grass is the most precious treasure of the Mu Family. We’ve had it under constant guard and have never mentioned it to an outsider. I am absolutely certain," Mu Huang vowed, raising her hand.

"Very good. I will inform Ma Long to have Mu Qixuan delivered to your estate. Keep that Spirit Rock Grass for me. I will come to collect it myself." Jiang Xinghai smiled faintly, then turned with Yan Qingshan to get into their car.

’Spirit Rock Grass... It’s one of the main ingredients for refining the Nourishing Essence Pill!’

’Even if it’s only First-Grade, it’s still better than nothing!’

"Divine Doctor Jiang, I have one more bold request," Mu Huang blurted out, seeing that Jiang Xinghai was about to leave.

Jiang Xinghai had already stepped into the car. He asked from the window, "Say it all at once. What else do you want?"

"My eldest son—Jianni’s father, Qikun—suffers from a chronic illness that has left him half-paralyzed. I want to beg Mr. Jiang to help my son walk again." Tears welled in the corners of Mu Huang’s eyes.

Mu Jianni also stepped forward and pleaded, "Divine Doctor Jiang, no matter the conditions, as long as my father can walk again, I will agree to it."

"Does ’it’ include you?" Jiang Xinghai asked, the corner of his mouth twitching into a smirk.

"Yes." Mu Jianni seemed to have already made her decision, nodding without the slightest hesitation.

Mu Huang nodded to herself as well. This was, in fact, something they had discussed before coming here.

"After I’ve finished up my business here, I’ll examine your father when I go to the Mu Family estate to collect the Spirit Rock Grass. That’s the deal." Jiang Xinghai gave a dismissive wave.

Yan Qingshan stepped on the gas and drove away. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

"Grandmother, he agreed to help us!" Mu Jianni cried, throwing herself into Mu Huang’s embrace.

Tears streamed down Mu Huang’s wrinkled face as well. "To think that the man we were so reluctant to get involved with last time was actually the renowned Divine Doctor Jiang."

At that moment, Mu Huang was undoubtedly overjoyed.

Her rebellious younger son, Mu Qixuan, was about to return, and her elder son, Mu Qikun, was going to walk again!

And the price the Mu Family had to pay was merely a single stalk of First-Grade Spirit Rock Grass. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Although a First-Grade Spiritual Medicine was exceptionally precious, it was enough to save both of her sons. It was worth it!

An SUV sped toward the Central State Martial Arts Department.

「Inside the car.」

Yan Qingshan, who was driving, asked, "Master, should we use the front entrance or the back?"

"If we’re going to rob them blind, of course we’ll use the front door," Jiang Xinghai said with a smirk and a raised eyebrow.

"Master, forgive this old servant for speaking out of turn, but there would be no shame in using the back entrance," Yan Qingshan explained awkwardly.

Jiang Xinghai laughed. "Old Yan, it’s just the Martial Arts Department. I said I was confident we could pull this off, but I didn’t think it would scare you this badly. You’re a Great Venerable, for crying out loud."
