Chu Yang nearly spat out blood: "What? Are you saying you don't even know who this person is? You're asking me to save someone you don't recognize, do you know..."
Cat Teacher stared at Chu Yang with sharp eyes: "To save lives and heal the wounded is the heart of a healer. You're a doctor; don't you understand this principle? I always thought you did, back then..."
"Get lost!" Upon hearing the phrase 'the heart of a healer,' which was his catchphrase during his three days in the Nine Heavens Continent, Chu Imperial Seat hurled a furious curse.
Cat Teacher turned to Brother Tiger with a pitiful look. Brother Tiger shot a glare and scolded: "Meow!"
At that moment, a weak voice suddenly broke the silence: "Where is this place?"
Both Chu Yang and Cat Nini were taken aback and turned to see a person who had been lying on the bed, near death, now opening his eyes and looking at them.
It shouldn’t have been so surprising. Even an incomplete Ninefold Pill is a rare spiritual medicine, possessing miraculous effects on life and death. Cat Teacher had relied on this medicine to recover from a near-fatal injury; taking it had almost healed six to seven parts of his gravely injured body instantly. This person had taken one too; no effect would be a miracle!
But why was he still so weak? Could it be that this person's strength surpasses even that of Cat Teacher, who has reached heavenly level? Would the effects of one incomplete Ninefold Pill be insufficient for a full recovery? But if it were only a short time, he shouldn’t still be this weak!
Moreover, Chu Yang distinctly noticed that at the moment he turned his head, a hint of relief flashed deep within the person's gaze.
He couldn't help but be stunned: Could this guy recognize me?
Is that even possible? No way!
The person appeared to be a young man, clad in a black robe made of an indiscernible material, yet it exuded an air of mystery. Even in severe injury, he maintained a proud and aloof demeanor.
Although his appearance was average, his facial features were sharp. At the moment he opened his eyes, his lifeless body seemed to suddenly be filled with the brilliance of life.
His voice was weak, and he lacked vitality. Yet, despite this, he spoke in a fluent and composed tone. This was not just bravado but a means to maintain the dignity within his heart!
This was a person with self-respect, confidence, resilience, and pride!
Chu Yang and Cat Nini simultaneously felt: This person is likely not simple; if possible, it’s best not to make an enemy out of him.
"This is my medicine shop, Men's Hall," Chu Yang looked into the young man’s eyes and said, "A hall that brings blessings to all men, specifically treating those with ailments."
Chu Yang had truly gone crazy thinking about money lately, and he didn’t forget to advertise himself!
But was this the right time for an advertisement? What he said was indeed quite inappropriate.
“Do I have an ailment... hehe..." The young man gave a weak smile. "I... have an ailment too."
"Haha... indeed." Cat Nini chuckled appreciatively.
This sentence cleverly transformed the derogatory phrase 'I have an ailment'—something that most men would hesitate to say—into a grand and eloquent statement that flowed seamlessly.
I have an ailment too!
Not only did it elevate his status, but it also indicated his condition.
"Yes, understood. I know you have an ailment," Chu Yang smirked. "As long as I'm here and you're awake, you definitely won't die. You can relax a bit."
The young man let out a bitter smile and asked, "Dare I ask, doctor, how long will it take for my injuries to heal?"
Chu Yang furrowed his brow and said, "Your injuries are quite strange. I'm not entirely sure. However, you should know what injuries you have sustained, so what I can do is simply do my best and leave the rest to fate... As for when you will recover, that depends on you. Do you understand what I'm saying?!"
What he said was vague, contradictory, and downright irritating, causing Cat Teacher to wear an awkward expression!
