"What a demon! You've caused us so much misery, and now you pretend not to know us?"
Jiang Jingtian also ran down from the car, pointing at Ye Ling and scolding, "I'd recognize you even if you turned to ash! Ya Dan was beaten into a pig's head by you and can't even go out to be seen. Do you have anything to say, you scoundrel?"
Seeing the Jiang siblings aggressively confronting him, Ma Ruishe couldn't help but look at Ye Ling and ask, "Teacher Ye, who are these two?"
"A couple of clowns. I don't have time to deal with them now. Let's go in."
Ye Ling cast a faint glance at Jiang Jingtian and Jiang Yadan, then said to Ma Ruishe and walked towards the Medicine Immortal Abode.
If Jiang Jingtian hadn't jumped out, Ye Ling would have forgotten that he had dealt with two纨绔 (wánkù - rich idlers/dandies) at the West Mountain Villa before. When he manipulated Jiang Jingtian to attack Jiang Yadan, he had also added some "spice" to Jiang Jingtian's punch.
Jiang Yadan's face would take at least half a year to show signs of swelling reduction and a full year to heal completely.
Previously, Ye Ling had considered it a small lesson to make them remember and behave properly.
He hadn't expected to encounter these two again here.
Jiang Yadan was here to seek medical treatment.
However, Jiang Yadan's face had swollen due to Ye Ling's spiritual energy. Even if the best doctors in the world were invited, they couldn't help Jiang Yadan reduce the swelling. Misguided treatment might even worsen her facial swelling!
"You dare to ignore us?"
Seeing that Ye Ling completely disregarded them, Jiang Yadan was so infuriated that her lungs were about to explode. She lunged towards Ye Ling, but Jiang Jingtian pulled her back.
As Ye Ling walked away, Jiang Yadan became even more agitated, glaring at Jiang Jingtian and asking, "Why are you holding me back?"
Jiang Jingtian calmed down and whispered to Jiang Yadan, "We didn't bring bodyguards this time. If that guy uses his demonic arts again, will this illness still be treated?"
He didn't want to be a shield for Ye Ling again.
If he were to strike Jiang Yadan again, his skin would be peeled off when he returned home!
Unable to break free from Jiang Jingtian's grasp, Jiang Yadan had no choice but to give up. She retaliated by slapping Jiang Jingtian across the face and calling him a "waste!"
Jiang Jingtian clutched his cheek, a flicker of gloom in his eyes, but he still comforted Jiang Yadan, "You're right... but we need to stay calm. Acting here won't benefit us."
After the previous incident, his status at home had plummeted. Jiang Yadan could now trample all over him.
Before he could gain control of the family's finances, Jiang Jingtian had to endure.
"Let's go in. Our appointment with Divine Doctor Deng is almost here. We shouldn't keep him waiting," Jiang Jingtian said again, then took the lead towards the Medicine Immortal Abode.
Jiang Yadan, with a somber expression, followed closely behind.
The Medicine Immortal Abode was entirely made of wood, with even the floor crafted from precious timber. Every square foot was worth a fortune.
A faint medicinal fragrance permeated the air, invigorating the senses with each breath.
Setting aside other aspects, this alone was enough to showcase the Medicine Immortal Abode's prowess.
"May I ask if you two have a special appointment?"
As Ye Ling and Ma Ruishe entered the Medicine Immortal Abode, a beautiful receptionist in a qipao approached them and asked respectfully.
Ye Ling said faintly, "No."
The receptionist smiled and said, "If you don't have an appointment, please queue up over there to register, and we will arrange a specific time for you."
Ma Ruishe stepped forward at this moment and said, "I am Ma Ruishe. Please report this, and say that we are here to see Deng Zhongtai."
"You two are looking for Elder Deng?"
Upon hearing Ma Ruishe's words, the receptionist's expression changed slightly. However, concerning Deng Zhongtai, she dared not make any hasty judgments. She smiled and said, "Please wait a moment, I will go in and report immediately."
With that, the receptionist quickly left and entered the Medicine Immortal Abode.
"You want to see Divine Doctor Deng too? You think you're worthy?"
At this moment, Jiang Yadan, who had walked up from behind, saw Ye Ling also intending to see Deng Zhongtai and stepped forward to mock him again.
Ye Ling was the culprit who had caused her current state, so she hated Ye Ling more than anyone.
If she had the chance, she would undoubtedly skin Ye Ling alive without hesitation!
Seeing Jiang Yadan fluttering over like a fly again, Ye Ling's brow furrowed slightly. He looked at Jiang Yadan, a hint of gloom flashing in his eyes.
Although he didn't want to bother with Jiang Yadan, when an ant jumped around too much, he didn't mind crushing it.
Ye Ling said coldly, "If you don't want to look like this pig's head for the rest of your life, then shut your mouth obediently."
Ye Ling's words were effective. A clear look of fear appeared on Jiang Yadan's face upon hearing them. She quickly shut her mouth, not daring to speak further.
For Jiang Yadan, beauty was more important than her life. She dared not gamble on this matter.
'A wretch who bullies the weak and fears the strong!'
Seeing that Jiang Yadan dared not speak anymore, Jiang Jingtian's expression grew even more somber, and he cursed inwardly.
His face still stung from the previous slap!
Soon, the receptionist who had gone to report came running back and respectfully said to Ye Ling and Ma Ruishe, "Please come in, Elder Deng wishes to see you!"
Seeing this, Jiang Jingtian quickly took out a black card and said, "We also have an appointment with Divine Doctor Deng. This is our credential!"
The receptionist took the black card, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Please accompany me, esteemed guests."
Those who were patiently waiting in line to register saw the black card Jiang Jingtian produced, and their eyes couldn't hide their envy.
That black card was an exclusive credential for an appointment with Deng Zhongtai. Those who possessed such a credential were either rich or noble, and spending tens of millions for medical treatment was commonplace.
This card was a symbol of status within the Medicine Immortal Abode!
Jiang Yadan relished the envious and jealous gazes from those around her. She puffed out her chest. Although she no longer dared to mock Ye Ling, she still cast a proud glance at Ye Ling and confidently walked past him, following the receptionist.
After making Jiang Yadan quiet down, Ye Ling no longer paid attention to her. He scanned the entire Medicine Immortal Abode with his divine sense, marking all individuals with cultivation.
Although the Medicine Sect primarily served ordinary people, they were indeed a sect of cultivators.
The disciples of the Medicine Sect, being cultivators, acted without scruples, plundering ordinary people for their own selfish desires. Ye Ling, having come this time, did not intend to let them off.
Keeping them around would only be a menace.
Led by the beautiful receptionist, the four soon arrived at an extremely spacious study.
One wall of the study was lined with medical books, while the other two walls were adorned with various dazzling trophies and certificates.
A white-haired elder sat at a desk, quietly studying a medical book.
Elder of the Medicine Sect, Divine Doctor of China, Deng Zhongtai!
"Elder Deng, the guests have been brought here."
Deng Zhongtai did not look up and said, "Mm, you may leave."
"Yes..."
The beautiful receptionist bowed respectfully to Deng Zhongtai, then quietly retreated, closing the door.
The atmosphere in the study was somewhat oppressive, making Jiang Yadan and Jiang Jingtian inexplicably fearful.
"Divine Doctor Deng, my name is Jiang Jingtian, I am your grandson..."
"I know. You two step aside and wait."
Deng Zhongtai interrupted Jiang Jingtian, looked at Ma Ruishe, and asked with a smile, "Old fellow, why have you come to me?"
"Are you asking what you already know?" Ma Ruishe retorted, "Release the person you captured!"
"What person did I capture?"
Deng Zhongtai feigned ignorance and then appraised Ye Ling, sneering, "Is this the divine doctor you mentioned who can bring the dead back to life?"
"He doesn't look like it. Why don't you show me some of your skills first?"
Ye Ling calmly looked at Deng Zhongtai, walked to the desk, and slammed his palm onto it, staring at Deng Zhongtai and saying directly, "Release Liu Xiu now, and I might consider sparing your life."
Ye Ling's words caused complete silence in the room!
