ou to rein yourself in before him.
Make sure that you don’t offend him with your words.”

From the time they had spent together, she concluded that Zu An was a troublemaker through and through.
It was as if his vile mouth existed for the sake of infuriating everyone around him.
It would have still been fine if it was anyone else, but Divine Physician Ji was no ordinary man.
She was worried that Zu An would land himself in a bad position before the Divine Physician Ji, so she came over to drop him a piece of advice.

“Divine Physician Ji? That’s great!”

Zu An was stunned for a moment before exploding in joy.
He was still wondering if he should slip out today to look for Divine Physician Ji so as to enquire about how the preparations for the treatment of ‘little Zu An’ was coming along.
However, the personal guards assigned to him were truly, in every sense of the word, personal.
He couldn’t shake them off at all! At the same time, he couldn’t find any legitimate excuse for him to leave to Chu Estate too.

But to his surprise, while he was feeling deeply frustrated over this matter, the Chu clan actually invited Divine Physician Ji over for him.

Chu Chuyan was stunned for a moment before realization struck her.
“Ah, I nearly forgot that you’re acquainted with Ji Xiaoxi.
There should be no problem then.”

She had already heard about the matters that had transpired in the academy.

“Honey, Ji Xiaoxi and I are only friends.
There’s nothing going on between us.”

“Hm? Why are you clarifying that to me?” Chu Chuyan was baffled.

“There’s no need to be shy about that.” Zu An chuckled.
“An amazing man like me is bound to attract the attention of women no matter where I go, but honey, there’s no need to get jealous.
I swear that you’re the only one I like.
I’d never do anything to let you down!”

“…” Chu Chuyan.

“…” Cheng Shouping.

“Speaking of which, honey, were you the one who specially invited Divine Physician Ji over for me? Ahh, my wife is really the best!” Zu An walked over and made use of the moment to hold her hands.

In the end, Chu Chuyan left the room with a livid face.
I should have never dropped by this fellow’s room!

Menawhile, Cheng Shouping stared at Zu An with a complicated look in his eye.
A long while later, he muttered, “Young master, I finally understand how you were able to marry the First Miss.”

“Is that even a question at all? It’s naturally due to my suave looks!” Zu An harrumphed smugly.

Cheng Shouping shook his head.
“No, it’s because you’re thick-skinned.”

Zu An narrowed his eyes sharply.
“Oh? Are you done copying the family rules?”

Cheng Shouping immediately cowered out.
He put on a fawning smile and replied, “Ah… Hahaha, not yet.
I’m still on my break.”

“Break, my ass! Hurry up and finish copying them!” Zu An bellowed.
“I already gave you the money.
You were the one who chose to scrooge out and not hire any helping hands!”

“I’ll head over right now…” replied Cheng Shouping hurriedly.
The young master is not just thick-skinned, he’s narrow-minded too.
I must pay heed to never offend him.

Shortly after the grumbling Cheng Shouping left the room, the butler, Hong Zhong, brought Ji Dengtu into Zu An’s room.

“Divine Physician Ji, this way please!”

Hong Zhong was an austere person, and this was further highlighted by how he dressed.
His hair was combed neatly in place such that not a single loose strand could be found, and his clothes were devoid of wrinkles.
All of these gave him quite an imposing presence.

But at his very moment, he was conducting himself humbly and respectfully.

Zu An couldn’t help but remember how Chu Chuyan had specially dropped by to warn him earlier.
From the looks of it, it would appear that this licentious physicians was really quite a big deal.

“Young master, this is Divine Physician Ji.
He boasts incredible medical skills, so please do not offend him.” Hong Zhong began introducing to the two men to one another.
“Divine Physician Ji, this is young master Zu An of our Chu clan.
He was severely injured by a fifth rank cultivator last night.
We’ve already treated him on the manor last night, but we’d like for you to take another look just to be safe.”

“Oh~” Divine Physician Ji replied perfunctorily as he stroked his beard.
His attitude was a little arrogant.
However, when he finally caught sight of Zu An on the bed, his eyes immediately widened in astonishment.

Hong Zhong was a little surprised by his reaction, so he quickly asked, “What’s wrong, Divine Physician Ji? Is there a problem here?”

Divine Physician Ji coughed lightly to conceal his surprise before saying, “I’m going to diagnose him now, and I need some privacy.”

“Yes, please go ahead.
We’ll be right outside, so feel free to give us a call if you have any need of us.” Hong Zhong knew that Divine Physician Ji had quite a lot of rules when it came to treating a patient, so he didn’t say anything about it.
With a wave of his hand, he gestured for the other servants in the room to head out.

Once they were all gone, Divine Physician Ji walked over to the bedside and sat down.
He smacked his hand down on Zu An’s thigh and said, “Not bad! I didn’t think that you would be able to escape from a fifth rank cultivator.
You sure are a bag of surprises, aren’t you?”

His smack tugged at Zu An’s wounds, causing the latter to gasp in pain.

Zu An had a strong feeling that Divine Physician Ji was doing it on purpose.
Didn’t I just earn a few silver taels from your daughter back then? Do you really need to go this far?

“It was just luck.
She fled in a fluster when she noticed that the experts in the estate were rushing over.
I only survived by a hair’s breaddth,” said Zu An in a mixture of truth and falsehood.
There was no way he would reveal his trump cards to others.

Divine Physician Ji nodded understandingly, “Dumb Chu is an eighth rank cultivator after all.
It’s normal for the assassin to fear him.”

Hearing how Divine Physician Ji addressed Chu Zhongtian as ‘Dumb Chu’, he couldn’t help but wonder if the two of them had some conflict with one another.
Considering that perverted request Divine Physician Ji had made, could it be that… he had pursued Qin Wanru in his earlier years, only to have Chu Zhongtian beat him to it?

That isn’t right though.
If that was the case, why would the Chu clan invite him over to treat him?

Forget it, I have nothing to do with whatever grudges they have.
What’s important right now is for me to ask about that matter.

“Divine Physician Ji, have you found a cure yet?”

“Why don’t you go on the street and check out who I am? How could I possibly be unable to cure you?” Divine Physician Ji harrumphed.
“Don’t worry, I already brought it here!”

Zu An looked out of the door, and he could see Butler Hong and the other guards standing not too far away.
He was a little hesitant to talk about in the presence of so many outsiders.

Divine Physician Ji said, “Don’t worry, they won’t be able to hear what we’re saying.”
