The White-Bearded Old Man frowned and asked, "Then tell me, what should we do?" He felt it was quite difficult for this Chu Divine Doctor...
"To completely cure him, it is possible, but we need to establish ten rules!" Chu Yang said.
"Ten rules?" The eight experts from the Huang Family were slightly confused; usually, only three rules were established, how did this one turn into ten?
"First, Huang Xialiu must obey! If I tell him to go east, he can't go west; if I tell him to chase a dog, he can't scare a chicken; if I tell him to take off his pants, he can't pull his clothes—it must be complete obedience to my medical advice! If there's even the slightest disobedience, treatment will be stopped immediately," Chu Yang commanded.
"Then, if you tell me to go east, can I go north instead?" Huang Xialiu pouted.
"Get out! Damn it! I don't want to see you! Stay a virgin for life!" Chu Yang glared, pointing at the door.
The members of the Huang Family quickly apologized, and after a long while, they finally managed to calm down the temperamental Chu Divine Doctor, but he still pointed at Huang Xialiu's nose, saying, "If you dare to utter even half a word of disobedience, you can get lost immediately!"
Huang Xialiu fell silent, the arrogance he had when he first entered was long gone.
"Second rule, during the treatment, the Huang Family must be responsible for my losses. I'm not asking for much; you can inquire about my daily income here. If you can't be responsible, treatment can be stopped at any time," Chu Yang said, looking sideways, unwillingly.
"That's only right," the White-Bearded Old Man nodded repeatedly.
"Third, if you are not at ease, the Huang Family can send guards, but apart from ensuring Huang Xialiu's safety, everything must obey my management! If you don't listen, treatment can be stopped at any time," Chu Yang stated.
"That is even more appropriate," the White-Bearded Old Man nodded eagerly. "Since we are at Chu Divine Doctor's place, who else can we listen to if not him?"
"Fourth, the necessary medicinal materials must be provided by the Huang Family!" Chu Yang said lightly, revealing a trace of worry on his brow. "This is not an additional condition; the medicinal materials required for Young Master Huang are probably beyond the capabilities of our Chu Family... So, if you can't obtain them or refuse to agree, treatment can be stopped at any time."
"That is also reasonable," the White-Bearded Old Man affirmed.
"Fifth, no causing trouble. Otherwise, treatment can be stopped at any time..."
"Sixth, you must not be disrespectful to my family members. This also means treatment can be stopped at any time..."
"Seventh, this matter needs to be kept strictly confidential!" Chu Yang's tone became serious, saying, "This matter may involve power struggles among your noble families. If news gets out... I will have no peace here. Once it leaks out, it will not be me who stops, but others who will come to stop me."
He looked deeply at the White-Bearded Old Man and sighed, "You should understand the great risks I am taking by accepting Huang Xialiu's case!"
The White-Bearded Old Man sighed heavily and said, "What Chu Divine Doctor said is absolutely true. I can't imagine how much danger is involved."
Chu Yang continued, "So, the eighth rule is that you must be responsible for my family's safety! We will not suffer sacrifices for your sake. Otherwise, treatment can be stopped at any time..."
The White-Bearded Old Man nodded seriously: "I will report this back to the patriarch and will definitely give Chu Divine Doctor a clear answer!"
"Ninth, you must also protect my safety. Otherwise, treatment can also be stopped at any time..." Chu Yang said with a serious face, repeating "treatment can be stopped at any time," leaving the White-Bearded Old Man helpless.
"And what I want is a definite answer, not just a clear answer," Chu Yang added.
"Definitely, definitely," the people under the eaves had no choice but to bow their heads.
"What is the tenth rule?" Seeing that Chu Yang stopped after stating the ninth rule, Huang Xialiu asked curiously.
