Transmigrated villain – My Fiancée Orders Me To Beg The Male Lead's Forgiveness-Chapter 229 - Long Ritian Fails to Show Off, Xu Liang Steps Up
Chapter 229: Long Ritian Fails to Show Off, Xu Liang Steps Up
At the Su family banquet.
Long Ao began treating Old Master Li in full view of everyone.
He maintained a calm demeanor, his techniques steady and fluid.
Watching him insert one silver needle after another into Old Master Li’s body, occasionally massaging acupuncture points, the initially skeptical onlookers began to believe in him somewhat.
“Could it be that this unassuming young man truly has some skill?”
When Long Ao inserted the ninth needle, an elderly man nearby suddenly had a revelation.
Unable to contain himself, he spoke up.
“That combination of technique and acupuncture... Young man, are you using the methods from the thirteenth volume of the Guigu Medical Manual?!”
“...Good eye.”
Recognized by someone, Long Ao replied indifferently, “My technique does indeed come from the thirteenth volume of the Guigu Medical Manual, the Rejuvenation Nine Needles!”
“The Rejuvenation Nine Needles!”
The elderly man was shocked.
Hearing their conversation, people who knew the elderly man’s identity couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.
“Divine Doctor Sun, are the Guigu Medical Manual and Rejuvenation Nine Needles really that impressive?”
“Naturally!”
“Legend has it that as long as there’s a breath left, the Rejuvenation Nine Needles can bring someone back!”
“Unfortunately, the thirteenth volume of the Guigu Medical Manual has been lost for a long time. Despite my efforts, I’ve only found a few fragments.”
“Seeing this young man’s technique so closely resemble the methods in those fragments, I had to ask.”
“And indeed, it’s the Rejuvenation Nine Needles!”
“Old Master Li will surely be fine!”
Watching Long Ao, who was nearing the end of his treatment, Divine Doctor Sun, an ardent admirer of medical arts, couldn’t help but be moved.
Previously, in V City at the Zhao family, he had encountered Divine Doctor Su, another young and skilled medical practitioner.
He had even knelt to become his apprentice. (tln : ITS YOU AGAIN!!!)
Unfortunately, Divine Doctor Su had some peculiar habits while treating Zhao Ruilong and soon left the Zhao family.
After Su departed, faced with Zhao Ruilong’s scarred and ailing condition, Sun could do nothing and left the Zhao family, wandering to exchange medical knowledge with others.
Unexpectedly, by merely attending a banquet, he had now encountered another young divine doctor!
Sun pondered whether he should kneel and ask this doctor to take him as an apprentice later.
Hearing Sun’s words, the surrounding people also began to change their tune.
“Truly a young talent...”
“No wonder he’s so confidently guaranteed this!”
“Old Master Li has met a benefactor, his life isn’t over yet...”
...
Though they didn’t understand the medical techniques, they praised him one after another.
Even the young master of the Li family seemed relieved.
Among the crowd, Xu Liang, watching from behind Chen Muyu, remained outwardly calm but inwardly disdainful.
You couldn’t even detect the poison I used, Long Ritian, your medical skills aren’t all that!
I’ll let you show off for now, let everyone praise you, so that when you fall, it’ll be all the more spectacular!
In this setting, curing Old Master Li would make you the target of recruitment by the prominent families, but if you fail... you’ll become a laughingstock!
Let’s see who dares seek your medical help in the future!
But just as Xu Liang anticipated the next events, Chen Muyu turned to him.
“Xu Liang, see? Brother Ao is amazing, isn’t he!”
“He’s young and skilled. When he saved me, he single-handedly took on ten people!”
“And he knows medicine too!”
“Those doctors with receding hairlines were helpless, but Brother Ao could easily cure them!”
Recalling Long Ao’s indifferent demeanor whether praised or ridiculed, she couldn’t help but think of a phrase.
“Neither arrogant nor humble, a true man!”
“...”
Chen Muyu’s soft chatter exasperated Xu Liang—
The esteemed Miss of the Chen family, getting into trouble with a few thugs and needing Long Ritian to rescue her!
That’s purely plot convenience!
Xu Liang’s silence displeased Chen Muyu.
“Hey, why aren’t you saying anything?”
“......Miss, what do you want me to say?”
“Don’t you think Brother Ao is extraordinary? Guigu Medical Manual, Rejuvenation Nine Needles, it all sounds so mystical!”
“......I think we should wait until Old Master Li wakes up before praising him. It’s not too late.”
Xu Liang smiled, “If he can’t cure him, wouldn’t praising him make it even more embarrassing?”
Seeing Xu Liang’s calm demeanor, Chen Muyu pouted.
“Tsk, you’re acting calm, but you’re probably jealous of Brother Ao!”
“......Jealous of him? Heh!”
Xu Liang shook his head, disdaining to argue further.
While they talked, Long Ao had finished the treatment.
He put away his silver needles and stood up.
“Mission accomplished!”
“......”
Hearing him say this, the crowd looked at the motionless Old Master Li, exchanging puzzled glances.
Xu Liang couldn’t help but chuckle internally.
As expected of the overly confident Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King, seamlessly boasting!

But unfortunately, you only cured your own poison, not mine!
Five minutes later.
Seeing Old Master Li’s face turn black and foam at the mouth, the crowd’s minds flashed to the scene.
Even without medical knowledge, everyone knew that Long Ao’s treatment had done nothing but worsen the condition.
The young master of the Li family was even more aggressive, “Is this what you guaranteed, that my grandpa would wake up in half an hour?”
“......L-Let me check again!”
Panic flashed across Long Ao’s face as he quickly squatted down, examining Old Master Li but finding nothing.
He could only force an explanation.
“Your grandpa took too many medications... medicine is three parts poison... the toxins accumulated, making his face so dark...”
But his stammering made everyone lose faith in him.
The young master of the Li family regretted it, now realizing even sending him to the hospital was too late.
He glared at Long Ao.
“If my grandpa dies, the Li family won’t spare you!”
Everyone began to surround and blame Long Ao.
The scene became chaotic.
Among the crowd, Divine Doctor Sun quietly retreated to the back, trying to minimize his presence.
He was grateful he hadn’t hastily knelt and asked to be Long Ao’s apprentice.
Chen Muyu, now filled with doubt, was also shaken.
“How could this happen... could Brother Ao really be a fraud...”
Her perfect image of Brother Ao in her heart was shattered.
Seeing Old Master Li silently foaming at the mouth, she became extremely worried.
At this moment, Xu Liang approached her and patted her shoulder.
“Don’t worry, Old Master Li will be fine!”
“?”
Chen Muyu looked at him in confusion, not understanding, but saw Xu Liang addressing the crowd.
“Everyone, quiet down!”
His calm and confident voice silenced the crowd, making everyone look at him.
“I can cure Old Master Li!”
“......You?” After being deceived by Long Ao, everyone thought Xu Liang was bluffing too.
Facing their skepticism, Xu Liang remained composed.
“That’s right!”
“Hey, Xu Liang, are you crazy?!”
Chen Muyu angrily whispered.
How could her lackey know medicine!
If he messed up, the Chen family wouldn’t be able to protect him!
Not only would her father not protect him, but he would also use Xu Liang’s life to appease the Li family’s anger!
Chen Muyu couldn’t understand why her lackey suddenly went mad.
Could it be... he wanted to try because he heard her praising Brother Ao?
Seeing Xu Liang ignore her and confidently step into the crowd, Chen Muyu felt her submissive lackey suddenly seemed different.
“Could it be... he really can?”
