Reliable Youngsters

If the procedure to save a person is too simple, it can easily lead people to think that things are not so complicated.

If a client makes Zhang Xuezhou feel that they are difficult to deal with, Zhang Xuezhou will try to delay the process.

For example, one might need to adjust their spellcasting state, experience sluggish Law Power flow within their body, or need to restore their Law Power.

He dared not do such a thing in front of Qu Ni Hou, whose cultivation was higher and whose mind was sharper than his own. However, when the client was of low or equal cultivation, Zhang Xuezhou worked at a steady pace, minimizing any potential trouble in the future.

After casting the spell three times at intervals, Zhou Jiande's back wound healed. Zhang Xuezhou then drank a large mouthful of water and closed his eyes to rest.

"Okay, I'm all better now!"

Zhou Jiande touched his back, and the scabs that had formed after the wounds healed delighted him.

The back injury was extremely inhumane; he hadn't been able to lie down and sleep properly for days. This torment was unbearable for him, and he felt that any other injury would have been better than his back.

Now that his injuries were gone, he was overjoyed after touching them and asked Tian Tian and Chen Zhang to examine his wounds.

"My wound has healed so well, miracle doctor! Please treat me too!"

Tian Tian wailed repeatedly.

Zhou Jiande felt that the injury to his back was unbearable, and he also felt that the injury to his groin was unbearable.

"This kind of spell must be very mentally taxing, so keep your voice down and don't disturb his recovery," Zhou Jiande reminded him.

"Ugh, I can't take it anymore!"

Seeing Zhou Jiande's wound healing while she herself still had to wait, Tian Tian regretted asking the question.

If he hadn't asked that question, but instead handed over ten taels of silver, the other party would definitely have treated him first, instead of him having to defer to others.

"Brother Jiande, you've been subjected to this technique three times. Have you figured out its origin?"

Seeing that Zhang Xuezhou ignored her, Tian Tian had no choice but to pass the time.

He asked Zhou Jiande in a low voice, and then pulled Chen Zhang aside to ask him as well.

This made both of them shake their heads.

Zhou Jiande and Chen Zhang were both martial artists, knowledgeable in their respective sword techniques, and more knowledgeable in how to defend against commonly used Technique Method, but they knew little about techniques for treating injuries.

"The Medical School, the Suspended Gourd School, and the Medicine King Sect all have medical techniques, but I feel that their techniques are not as powerful as his," Tian Tian said.

"Different cultivation levels, different skill levels, and therefore different ways of performing them," Zhou Jiande said. "Moreover, the court physicians are not skilled in treating our superficial injuries!"

"Yes, they are better at childbirth, health preservation, treating stubborn diseases of the internal organs, and acupuncture and moxibustion," Chen Zhang nodded.

"If we're talking about superficial and bone injuries, the military medics of the Western Border and Northern Border Military Region are more skilled, with the Northern Border being particularly renowned!"

"Don't even mention the Northern Border!"

"If Li Jiao and Li Gan were injured, I don't believe General Li would still want to guard Weiyang Palace. He just looks down on us!"

"We don't seem to have anything that would impress General Li Guang. If it weren't for our ancestors, we probably wouldn't even be able to find anyone under his command!"

As Chen Zhang quietly recounted the reality, Zhou Jiande and Tian Tian's resentment subsided.

Regardless of their parents' official or noble titles, those were the achievements of the previous generation, and their abilities clearly hadn't yet caught Li Guang's eye.

It's normal not to receive the respect you deserve in this situation.

The other party is not short of money, and there is no need to give them face.

Moreover, they didn't have any life-threatening illnesses.

Even without Zhang Xuezhou's rapid treatment, they would have been able to get rid of their troubles in just one month.

"Let's talk about that woman Brother Chen likes..."

Just as Tian Tian was about to tease Chen Zhang to pass the time while he was recovering from his injuries, she heard the sound of a carriage outside the inn, and someone strode in with their head held high.

"Who dares to trespass on our leased premises... Dad!"

Tian Tian called out, not wanting him to order his servants to drive the person away, and then he saw that ugly and short figure.

This made him quickly change his tune again, struggling to get up from the wicker chair and bow.

In front of her father, Tian Tian could never be more respectful.

The title of Marquis of Wu'an, which his father received, was hereditary and would be passed down to him after Tian Fen's death.

Of course, this would require Tian Fen to find his son agreeable.

In Lineage hereditary titles, the eldest son is always chosen over the youngest. For example, Chen Zhang was ineligible for the title of Marquis of Qu Ni because of this very reason.

However, the imperial court had its rules, and the major Lineage also had their own solutions: if the eldest son died, the second son would have the right to inherit.

Tian Tian wasn't afraid of competition from his siblings, after all, he was a few years older and his cultivation level was ahead, so he wasn't afraid of competition at all under the same conditions.

The only source of pressure was Tian Fen.

Chen Zhang knew Tian Fen was weak, and Tian Tian also knew her own father was weak, making it even harder to judge Tian Fen's attitude towards her.

He forced himself to stand up and bow despite the pain, but the struggle caused his thigh to split open again, and his face turned pale with pain.

"Tian'er, lie down quickly!"

Tian Fen strode into the shop with his head held high. After everyone had paid their respects, he quickly told them to return the courtesy and then helped his son up.

"I heard from the servants that you came here looking for a miracle doctor, but your wound still hasn't healed at all," Tian Fen asked. "Could it be that you've been deceived by some Fake Technique again?"

"Alright, alright," Tian Tian quickly replied, "I'm just behind Brother Jiande in line, I'll have to wait a while before I can receive the technique!"

"He took a break after performing the ritual? This miracle doctor..."

Tian Fen wanted to say that the person's strength was a bit lacking, but when he looked around, he found that apart from Tian Tian and the others, the servants who were clearing the area, the innkeeper and the waiter, there was only a young man who was meditating with his eyes closed.

This is quite different from the image of the divine doctor he had imagined.

In Tian Fen's imagination, a divine doctor must have white hair and a youthful face, or at the very least, he must have the appearance of a fortune teller like Yao Xiangshi to make him more convinced.

What kind of young people are these days?

Unless they are being groomed by a major academic school, or are from a Sacred Land or a powerful Lineage, young people of this age are considered useless and utterly incompetent.

Tian Fen felt that even if he were seriously ill, he wouldn't ask such a young person for treatment.

"Is he really that good?" Tian Fen asked doubtfully.

"Father, that's really impressive!" Tian Tian said. "You may not have seen the injuries of Marquis Qu Ni and Master Chen, but you at least know about Brother Jiande's injuries. His injuries have already healed!"

Let me see!

Tian Fen straightened up and looked up at the tall and burly Zhou Jiande.

This forced Zhou Jiande to half-squat down and then flip open the back of his clothes.

"It really healed!"

Tian Fen found it all quite strange.

These days, the old folks are unreliable, while the young people are becoming more reliable.

He dislikes people who pretend to be mysterious or pretentious, but he undoubtedly respects those with genuine abilities.

He was satisfied with the current situation; at least it showed him genuine ability.

If the other party is reliable and usable, he wouldn't even mind giving them extra favors to keep them by his side.
