Martial Master

“Elder Xu, why must you be so pessimistic? If it were someone else, perhaps they really couldn't cure your illness, but for me, it might not be impossible.” Qin Chen chuckled confidently.

“What? You can cure Master’s illness?” Xiao Ya was the first to exclaim in shock.

“Just you? Putting on airs.” Wang Zhong snorted coldly.

As for Xu Zheng, a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes.

Elder Xu shook his head, “Little brother, it’s not that I don’t believe you, but this illness of mine has stumped many renowned masters throughout the Great Wei Dynasty, even the cause remains unknown. Even if you have great talent, to say you can cure me, hehe…”

Elder Xu shook his head, clearly very skeptical.

“Elder Xu, don’t be so quick to dismiss it. Can you allow me to examine your body more carefully?” Qin Chen smiled lightly.

“What’s wrong with that?” Elder Xu smiled and, without any hesitation, withdrew his true energy, saying, “Little brother, you can examine me.”

“Master.” Wang Zhong immediately became anxious, “This guy’s origins are unclear. He might be someone sent by Elder Jin Yuan. Master, if you withdraw your true energy like this, if he takes advantage of the situation, wouldn’t you be in great danger?”

Elder Xu laughed freely, “I’m already like this. What’s there for him to take advantage of? Moreover, he was recommended by your junior sister Xiao Ya, and your senior brother also spoke highly of him. Do you doubt your senior brother and junior sister’s judgment?”

“Little brother, feel free to examine me.” Elder Xu lay back and said casually, clearly not holding out much hope for Qin Chen’s examination, merely wanting him to give up.

“Then I won’t be polite.” Qin Chen directly approached Elder Xu's bedside, showing no reservations as he grabbed his wrist and began to diagnose.

His mental power instantly seeped into Elder Xu's body through his wrist, starting a slow examination.

Qin Chen had already made some guesses about Elder Xu's condition previously, but he hadn’t had the opportunity for a thorough examination. Now, he was just being careful to avoid any mistakes.

However, Qin Chen's casual actions slightly disappointed Xu Zheng, who had been hopeful.

Previously, several masters had been extremely cautious, asking a lot of questions about when it started, what symptoms were present, and what medicines had been used. Only after that did they proceed with careful diagnoses and analysis.

But Qin Chen just grabbed the wrist and diagnosed it directly, and what’s more, he was so casual, which made Xu Zheng, who had hoped for improvement after seeing Qin Chen before, feel a bit disheartened.

Qin Chen, however, paid no attention to the expressions of others and continued to explore. After a full incense stick's time, he finally withdrew his mental power.

“Qin Chen, does my master really have hope? What exactly is the illness?” Xiao Ya was the first to ask nervously.

She understood Qin Chen's miraculous abilities the best and held more hope in her heart than Xu Zheng.

“Little brother, what did you find? Do you know what illness I have?” Elder Xu also asked with a smile, clearly not holding much hope.

After a moment of silence, Qin Chen raised his head, looking coldly at Elder Xu, and said solemnly, “Elder Xu, you are not sick; you have been poisoned.”

“What? Poisoned? Are you joking? My master can get poisoned? Master, I said this guy must be a fraud; how could you be poisoned?” Before Elder Xu could speak, Wang Zhong erupted with anger, his face filled with disdain and fury.

“I’m poisoned? Do you have evidence?”

However, Elder Xu was not as agitated as Wang Zhong but looked seriously at Qin Chen.

In fact, after searching for various causes of illness without finding any, he had also considered whether he was poisoned. However, he couldn’t detect any toxins in his body, so he dismissed the idea.

Now that Qin Chen said so definitively that he was poisoned, it piqued his curiosity.
