118: What is going on?

Li Dong had just woken up and, ignoring everything else, immediately asked a question.

This made Li Qingzhi, who had been watching the scene, delighted but also annoyed by Chen Tianming's actions. Hearing her father's question, Li Qingzhi immediately responded.

"Dad, you're awake. It was this person who insisted that your previous treatment method was useless and even slapped you."

Li Qingzhi attributed all the credit for Li Dong's awakening to Xia Xuan, while automatically ignoring Chen Tianming's previous actions.

She had never heard that a slap could save someone's life.

Li Dong had been unconscious, and it was only that last slap that woke him up. Only he knew that the slap had saved him.

"Hm? You mean this young man saved me?"

Li Dong looked at Chen Tianming and said with some surprise.

As the head of the Li family, Li Dong had a very sharp eye.

He could tell at a glance that Chen Tianming had an extraordinary aura.

He was either a young master or a formidable figure.

"Dad, what saved you? After he arrived, he did nothing but slap you!"

Li Qingzhi thought her father hadn't heard clearly and quickly repeated herself.

"Shut up, what do you know? If it weren't for that slap, I would have died long ago."

"I was still somewhat conscious before, and I don't know who that damned person was, jabbing me over and over again. I felt like I was going to be jabbed to death. At the most critical moment, a slap saved my old life."

Li Dong spoke with lingering fear, still a little scared of what had happened.

"This... how is this possible!"

"Are you sure you didn't feel wrong? My junior brother was wholeheartedly treating your illness, even using the Tian Xing Nine Needles. If it weren't for this..."

Ai Yun finally recovered from her daze and immediately began to voice her doubts.

"Hmph, are you sure that was treating my illness? I think it was more like taking my old life."

Seeing such a young girl question him, Li Dong immediately became displeased and coldly swept his gaze over Ai Yun.

Xia Xuan, who had been silent, looked at Li Dong, then at Chen Tianming, unsure what to say.

He had absolute confidence in his medical skills.

Logically, such a thing shouldn't have happened at all.

But now that even the person involved said so, the facts were right in front of him, and he couldn't disbelieve it.

"Why, why is this happening? Master clearly said that my medical skills were enough to be unparalleled in the world."

Muttering to himself in a low voice, Xia Xuan deeply doubted himself at this moment.

"It seems you are a clear-headed person. That's right, this slap was precisely to save you. Those silver needles before blocked your vital energy. If it weren't for this slap, you would have gone to see the King of Hell long ago!"

Chen Tianming had already prepared himself for Li Dong not understanding the situation.

But what he didn't expect was that Li Dong was so clear-headed, knowing that he had saved him.

"What a joke, how can someone save a person with just one slap? I think you must have used some sinister trick."

Ai Yun looked at Xia Xuan's dejected appearance and felt quite unconvinced.

"Alas, to think I am called a divine physician, yet today I have witnessed such an incredible method of healing."

"This old man, Jiang Cha, humbly requests Master to teach him medical skills. Please accept this disciple's bow."

Amidst everyone's shocked gazes, Jiang Cha was about to kneel directly before Chen Tianming.

Chen Tianming quickly helped Jiang Cha up.

"No, I don't accept any disciples. If you really want to learn, I can teach you a few tricks, but there's no need to become a disciple."

Li Qingzhi was still in a daze and hadn't reacted, but the rest of the Li family members started to become enthusiastic.

"I knew it, what ability does that wild boy have? He almost killed my elder brother."

"Chen Da Shao is still the most formidable."

"Chen Shao, you saved my husband. Our Li family will definitely repay your kindness. If Chen Shao has any difficulties, you can come to our Li family at any time."

Zhao Lan was merely speaking politely.

Who didn't know that Chen Tianming was the young master of the world's number one family? The entire Li family couldn't even compare to a single hair on the Chen family, let alone offer help.

"Hm? Chen Shao? Hearing you all say that, I seem to recall... could this be that mysterious young master of the Chen family?"

Li Dong had already sensed something before, but he hadn't dared to acknowledge it.

Now that his family members had all said so, if he still didn't understand, he would have lived in vain for so long.

"That's right, this is the eldest young master of the Chen family. Qingzhi, why aren't you quickly thanking Chen Gongzi on behalf of your father?"

Zhao Lan gently nudged Li Qingzhi.

Clearly, she wanted Li Qingzhi to be more proactive and establish some connection with Chen Tianming.

But Li Qingzhi seemed not to notice, merely looking at Xia Xuan, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Ding! Protagonist Xia Xuan's inner self was impacted, gaining 322 Devil's Value!"

Chen Tianming's mind suddenly heard the system's prompt, which immediately made Chen Tianming happy. It seemed his timing for appearing was just right.

"Some people, don't think that just because you know a bit of medical skill, you can arrogantly believe you are omnipotent. That will only make you lose face."

Thinking of this, Chen Tianming said somewhat coldly.

But this ordinary sentence almost made Xia Xuan vomit blood from anger.

Since he descended from the mountain, when had he ever encountered such an outrageous thing?

Not only did he lose face in front of the girl he liked, but he also almost caused trouble in front of his senior sister.

"You... you..."

"Ding! Protagonist Xia Xuan's blood surged to his heart, gaining 266 Devil's Value."

Xia Xuan was so angry he couldn't speak, but Chen Tianming's mind once again heard the system's prompt.

Ai Yun saw her junior brother Xia Xuan so angered, and she also felt a surge of resentment, finding Chen Tianming increasingly displeasing.

"Junior brother, don't listen to his nonsense. He's deliberately trying to provoke you."

"These people aren't worthy of your rescue. Let's go!"

Ai Yun truly had no face to stay here any longer and pulled Xia Xuan, intending to leave.

Li Qingzhi wanted to make them stay, but seeing her father's helplessness on the sickbed, despite a thousand words, she could only fall silent.

"Chen Shao, do you think my illness will have any after-effects?"

After Xia Xuan left, Li Dong politely asked Chen Tianming.

Chen Tianming, whether in terms of ability or family background, was someone Li Dong could not afford to offend. If he didn't seize this opportunity to befriend Chen Tianming now, he would undoubtedly be a fool.

"It's not a big problem. I'll give you another slap, and then it'll be foolproof."

As soon as Chen Tianming finished speaking, he slapped Li Dong on the other side of his face, under Li Qingzhi's complex gaze.
