Ning Prince's Mansion!

Before long, the elderly miracle doctor had packed up his stall.

"Miss, after you!"

The elderly miracle doctor picked up his shoulder bag and rose to his feet.

The woman nodded slightly and, without another word, turned to leave.

But the instant she turned around, a young man suddenly stepped into her path.

"Miss, did you just say you'd pay a million if someone cured your grandfather?"

Jiang Tian stood in front of her with a broad smile.

The woman frowned at the young man who had suddenly appeared before her. "Who are you?"

"Who I am doesn't matter. I just want to know whether you meant it."

Jiang Tian shook his head.

To be honest, if he hadn't needed money quickly to improve his parents' and younger sister's lives, he would never have taken the initiative to do something like this.

"Of course. But what does that have to do with you?"

The woman looked Jiang Tian up and down as she asked.

Jiang Tian smiled faintly. "To tell you the truth, I've studied some medicine myself. Why not let me take a look too?"

"You?"

The woman frowned, then shook her head. "Are you a doctor?"

"No, but my medical skills are better than a doctor's!"

Jiang Tian spoke with his hands clasped behind his back.

"Better than a doctor's?"

The woman's pretty face darkened. She felt this young man must be crazy.

He was quite handsome, but the things he said made no sense.

Seeing his young mistress's displeasure, Uncle Ming stepped forward and blocked Jiang Tian. "Young man, don't stand in our way!"

Jiang Tian glanced at him. "Old man, you're still working as a bodyguard at your age?"

Uncle Ming's face darkened!

What was that supposed to mean?

What kind of thing was that to say?

What did he mean, bodyguard?

He was the young mistress's personal guard. His status was far higher than those bodyguards'!

Uncle Ming's expression turned grim, and he said coldly, "Young man, I advise you not to go looking for trouble."

Jiang Tian spread his hands. "How am I looking for trouble? You'd rather trust a charlatan than me?"

"A charlatan?"

At those words, everyone instinctively looked toward the elderly miracle doctor.

The elderly miracle doctor immediately lost his composure and snapped, "Brat, who are you calling a charlatan?"

Jiang Tian glanced at him and sneered. "You, of course, the thirty-seventh-generation successor of Hua Tuo!"

"That's nonsense! How am I a charlatan? I'm a genuine successor of Hua Tuo!"

The elderly miracle doctor was so furious that his face and neck flushed red.

"Tsk."

Seeing his seething expression, Jiang Tian couldn't help shaking his head. "Old man, you're already so old, yet you're still out here swindling people. Aren't you afraid of ruining your karma?"

"And you're all pretty foolish too. You actually believed that nonsense about him being Hua Tuo's thirty-seventh-generation successor? Anyone with an education knows Hua Tuo's lineage has already reached over seventy generations! Where did this thirty-something generation come from? Is he some old bastard who's lived for over a thousand years?"

At those words...

Everyone was stunned.

Hua Tuo's lineage had already reached over seventy generations?

They had only paid attention to the words "Hua Tuo's successor" and completely overlooked which generation he claimed to belong to!

As the people around them came to their senses, they pulled out their phones and started checking.

Even the woman paused, then took out her phone to search on Baidu.

"Holy shit, it's true! Hua Tuo's lineage has already reached the seventy-sixth generation! It's an old professor named Huo!"

"Son of a bitch! He really is a fraud!"

"Damned swindler! I'm calling the police right now!"

The crowd immediately erupted in outrage. Those who had bought pills, in particular, clamored for refunds!

Once the woman realized what had happened, her pretty face turned cold too. She stared straight at the elderly miracle doctor, seemingly waiting for an explanation.

Seeing everyone suddenly turn on him, the elderly miracle doctor trembled with fear.

"You... don't listen to this brat's nonsense! I really am Hua Tuo's successor! Though I'm not from the thirty-seventh generation, I really did learn his authentic teachings!"

"If I didn't have genuine skills, how would you explain what happened to the people who took my pills just now?"

With that, he hurriedly turned to the woman.

"Miss, you took a pill yourself just now. Would you say my pills are fake?"

The woman, who had been feeling rather angry, froze at his words.

He was right. The pill she had just taken really had worked. She was certain of that!

"I admit I claimed a false title, but I really am a miracle doctor. My pills are absolutely genuine!"

Seeing everyone's expressions soften, the elderly miracle doctor hurriedly spoke up.

Then he turned to Jiang Tian and barked fiercely, "Brat, you came here deliberately to ruin my business, didn't you? Out in the world, people make their own identities. Even if you're in the same trade, you can't do this!"

Seeing that the man still refused to back down, Jiang Tian couldn't help shaking his head.

He didn't know whether this man was Hua Tuo's successor, but he certainly knew something about pill refining, because those pills really were a simplified version of the Minor Restoration Pill!

"Fine. I've said my piece. You can decide for yourselves."

Jiang Tian couldn't be bothered to argue with them any further. With that, he turned to leave.

"Wait!"

But just then, the woman spoke up to stop Jiang Tian.

Jiang Tian looked back. "Anything else?"

The woman stepped forward. "Do you really know medicine?"

"I'm certainly better than this charlatan."

Jiang Tian gave a noncommittal reply.

Hearing Jiang Tian belittle him again, the old charlatan gritted his teeth in fury. He was about to launch into an argument, but Uncle Ming stopped him.

The woman looked at Jiang Tian. "All right, both of you will come with us. Whichever one of you can cure my grandfather, I'll reward handsomely. But if either of you dares to deceive me, I'm certain that with the Ning Family's power, neither of you will get away..."

"The Ning Family?"

Jiang Tian furrowed his brow, then raised it slightly. He didn't seem to know much about this family.

But upon hearing the words "Ning Family," the old charlatan looked as though he had seen a ghost. "You... you're from the Ning Family? Then I'm not going! I'm not going..."

"Not going? Sorry, but you no longer have a choice."

Uncle Ming smiled faintly, grabbed him by the collar, and dragged him toward the car.

Seeing the old charlatan's terrified expression, Jiang Tian couldn't help rubbing his chin. "Is the Ning Family some kind of death trap? Just hearing the name scared him this badly?"

Despite the old charlatan's extreme reluctance, he was eventually taken into the car.

Half an hour later, the car slowly came to a stop outside a traditional Jiangnan-style courtyard residence.

The residence looked extraordinarily lavish. The entrance alone marked it as the home of a rich and powerful family, and the two imposing stone lions standing outside added an air of mystery and majesty!

But when Jiang Tian saw the large characters on the gilded nanmu plaque hanging above the entrance, he was even more startled.

Written across the plaque in bold, flowing calligraphy were the words-Ning Prince's Mansion!
