Peerless Little Immortal Doctor

"Why?" After a long silence, Huang Xue asked weakly.

Facing Huang Xue, facing the gaze of everyone present, Xia Liu smiled faintly and said, "Because they wanted to kill me, and I certainly couldn't just stand there and let them."

Hiss!

The sound of numerous sharp intakes of breath echoed throughout the hall.

Those security guards actually wanted to kill Xia Liu!

What on earth was going on?

Hearing this response, Huang Xue pouted her lips and said no more.

"Xia Liu, explain yourself more clearly!" Huang Shijie demanded.

"Elder Song, is your disciple Sun Ce here?" Xia Liu did not answer immediately but shifted his gaze to Song Lingzhen. Explore new worlds at empire

"He's resting in his room. Does this have anything to do with him?" Song Lingzhen inquired.

"I don't know if it's related, but he took your place and entered with the host. Then the two of them, acting in concert, had the security guards take me away. The guards took me into the woods and pulled out a dagger. What do you make of this?"

"Ah! I will have that scoundrel come out and explain himself immediately!"

While Song Lingzhen was agitated, one person was sweating bullets.

It was Huang Shitao!

He was also involved in this matter, and it was he who had instructed his son to adapt to the situation and to find an excuse to kill any doctor who truly had the ability to cure Huang Zhongcai.

He never expected that this would be exposed!

If his father found out, his own fate would certainly be very embarrassing.

Hearing this, Huang Xue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Xia Liu, you're saying that Sun Ce and the host wanted to kill you?"

"Yes, for the sake of my own life, I had no choice but to kill in self-defense."

"The host seems to be Letian..." Huang Shijie murmured, and suddenly, his pupils contracted sharply.

"What in the world is going on here? Shijie, Shitao, you two explain yourselves clearly!" Huang Zhongcai became even more confused. Xia Liu had almost been killed, and it had happened within the Huang Family's domain; there was definitely more to it.

"Father, I know! It must be Letian who feared Xia Liu would cure your illness, so he decisively ordered the attack."

"Huang Shijie, don't make groundless accusations. Letian is my son; how could he possibly wish for his own grandfather's death!"

"Whether that's true or not, let's have Letian and Sun Ce come out and confront each other!"

"Letian was not feeling well tonight, so he didn't come. I will call him right now," Huang Shitao said as he took out his phone to make the call.

Soon after, Huang Letian arrived, holding one hand over his mouth and coughing continuously as he entered the room.

"Cough cough, Dad, what did you want to see me for?" Huang Letian asked, looking confused.

"Tell us in front of everyone here what you did! Why did you let people harm Divine Doctor Xia!"

"Ah! I didn't have anyone harm him! I only asked the security guards to take Divine Doctor Xia to the police station. Sun Ce said that Divine Doctor Song had a relapse because of Xia Liu, claiming he was a fraud," Huang Letian said anxiously.

"Huang Letian, have you lost your mind? If those guards tried to harm Xia Liu, and it wasn't on your orders, then who could have ordered it?"

Huang Xue angrily confronted Huang Letian. This guy had actually dared to let someone harm Xia Liu—this was unacceptable!

"I didn't! I didn't know anything about it!" Huang Letian vehemently denied it, after all, it wasn't he who had acted.

So what if he was accused? Without evidence, he would continue to live carefree.

"Everyone, quiet down for a moment. Righteous brother, how is your disciple doing, when will he be coming over?"

Seeing his son and grandson like this, Huang Zhongcai felt disgraced.

"My senior disciple has gone to check on him; he should be able to come over soon to provide an account," Song Lingzhen replied, taking the matter very seriously. If it were not for Xia Liu's adeptness, Huang Zhongcai might have died, and he himself might have too.

"Master! Junior Brother is not in his room, but he left a letter there, it looks like he has run away."

"A letter!" Upon hearing Song Ze say Sun Ce had left a letter, Huang Shitao was extremely anxious.

If it weren't for his son's gaze, Huang Shitao might have done something crazy.

"Give me the letter." As the most authoritative person present, Huang Zhongcai took the letter and immediately began to read it.

Other than Xia Liu, no one could detect the change in Huang Zhongcai's expression.

A few minutes later, Huang Zhongcai said with a relieved smile, "Divine Doctors, this banquet is more or less over; everyone should head back early to rest, and we'll continue tomorrow night."

His words made the doctors feel awkward, but they all knew that Huang Zhongcai was indicating it was time to deal with family affairs.

It was not appropriate for them to stay, so they all rose and left one after another.

A few minutes later, the only ones remaining at the scene were the Huang Family members, Xia Liu, Song Lingzhen, and Song Ze.

Their eyes were all focused on Huang Zhongcai, wanting to know what exactly was written in that letter.

"Huang Letian, my dear grandson, aren't you going to kneel for me!"

"Ah!" Huang Letian hurriedly looked at his grandfather, completely at a loss for words.

This was not what he had agreed on with Sun Ce. Hadn't Sun Ce said he would take all the responsibilities on himself?

What was happening now?

"Father, what exactly is going on? What wrong has Letian committed?" Huang Shitao was very worried and couldn't help but cautiously inquire.

"And you, Huang Shitao! My dear son, truly my dear son!" Huang Zhongcai's voice revealed his sorrow, and if not for this letter, he would never have believed he could be treated this way.

"Father!"

"Grandfather!"

"Kneel down!" Huang Zhongcai didn't spare the two any sentiment, his sharp voice echoing around them.

Shush, shush...

Huang Shitao and Huang Letian immediately knelt on the ground; they understood.

If Huang Zhongcai believed something, it would not change—there must have been a problem with that letter.

"Shitao, do you think you've been treated poorly in the family?" Huang Zhongcai asked.

"Not poorly, just slightly less so compared to Big Brother."

"If I were to die, do you think you could lead the family forward?"

"Father, why would you die..."

"Huang Shitao! You're my son, I know what goes on in your mind. I'll give you one last chance: Do you want me to present evidence, or would you rather confess on your own?"

"Father, I'll talk, I'll talk!" Huang Shitao was scared. He knew this was his last chance.

"It's me who should die, it's my fault, this has nothing to do with Letian..." Huang Shitao said while slapping his own cheeks.

Everyone present listened quietly as he recounted everything.

After ten minutes, everyone finally realized.

As it turned out, the reason Huang Zhongcai was angry was that Huang Shitao had attempted to prevent the Divine Doctors from providing treatment.

"Sigh, Shitao, you're even more foolish than I am. If this family were without a father, without any external support, it wouldn't be long before other enterprises swallowed us up. Did you think that by preventing Father's recovery and assuming the position of Family Head, you would be set for life?"

Huang Shijie sighed with regret, having just come to his own sense of remorse. Now, it seemed the one who truly needed to reflect was Huang Shitao.

"Now that everything is clear, I'll ask you one last question. Were you involved in the act of administering the poison?"

"Absolutely not! It was only when I saw you grew increasingly ill that I got confused and did something foolish!" Huang Shitao asserted firmly.
