Strongest Medical Saint-Chapter 404 - Tri-flower Fruit

All eyes instantly focused on the little girl.

The Tang-suited elder's face, filled with anger, stiffened in a split second, disbelief surfacing in his eyes. He placed his hand on the little girl's shoulder, his arms trembling slightly, and tentatively asked, "Yingying, what did you just call me?"

"Grandpa," the little girl addressed as Yingying spoke, more coherently than before.

The Tang-suited elder could no longer control the excitement in his heart. In his efforts to cure his granddaughter's muteness, he had even enlisted the help of Qiu Baixing, Pang Nianda, and Ding Yuenian, once hailed as three of the greatest medical sages. Unfortunately, there was still no effect in the end.

These three elders also happened to be the judges of the previous domestic medical skill selection competition. Considering he was able to enlist their services for the diagnosis, it was apparent that the Tang-suited elder had an extraordinary identity.

Only after hearing that Yuan Jiwen was also considered a reputable doctor did the Tang-suited elder hold out hope, albeit likened to a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse. Moreover, his request for the three medical sages to provide treatment was many years ago, and in his view, given the medical sages' characters, they were not likely to randomly endorse a young upstart to represent the domestic medical circle.

During the domestic medical skill selection competition, the Tang-suited elder had taken his granddaughter deep into the mountains in search of medicine. He had heard of a famous doctor there but ultimately came back empty-handed.

After the little girl spoke out again, the change in the passengers' gazes towards Shen Feng in the first-class cabin was noticeable, while the expressions on Song Tianhao, Song Yuxuan, and others, naturally, took on an 'as expected' look; with Senior Shen Xiaoyao's abilities, curing a mute should not be an issue, should it?

"Fraud, this is a fraud."

Yuan Jiwen suddenly shouted, pointing at the Tang-suited elder and said, "You and this youngster are in cahoots, attempting to deceive together. Do you think I'm a fool? A single needle can cure a mute? Where in the world is there such miraculous medicine!"

Even though he had confirmed the little girl was mute in his earlier examination, it now occurred to him that the others might have used some means to deceive him.

The surrounding passengers, upon hearing this, suddenly had a revelation,

"That's right! How could a mute be cured so easily? It turns out this was just a scam. Didn't you make enough money from the domestic medical skill selection competition? Now you're trying to swindle with so-called traditional Chinese medicine?"

"Old man, at your age, to collude with such a young fraud, aren't you afraid of retribution? I think as soon as the plane lands, we should immediately contact the authorities and have these scammers taken away."

...

Seeing the situation rapidly turning in his favor, Yuan Jiwen couldn't care less about whether the Tang-suited elder had any significant status or not.

If he lost to Shen Feng here, he feared that Liu Jianshu, his cash cow, would soon kick him to the curb.

Faced with these indiscriminately accusing people, the Tang-suited elder's face darkened with displeasure as he said sternly, "A swindler, me, Zhao Bingren? Do I, Zhao Bingren, need to deceive you for your money?"

Yuan Jiwen's mouth curled into a sneer, having never heard of Zhao Bingren. He was about to open his mouth to mock when—

Businesspeople like Liu Jianshu, frowning slightly, began to show hesitance on their faces.

After swallowing nervously, Liu Jianshu asked in confusion, "Are you Elder Zhao from Jin State?"

The Tang-suited elder indifferently responded, "What, you doubt my identity?"

The innocent little girl by his side said, "You bad people, are you trying to bully the big brother who cured my throat?"

"I'm telling you, my grandfather is so powerful; he's the chancellor of Jin State University, and many wealthy uncles come to visit him," said the little girl, her voice becoming smoother after Shen Feng had pricked her throat with a needle.

Upon hearing the little girl's words, Liu Jianshu and the others' faces turned even uglier, realizing that this elder was not someone they could afford to offend.

To find out the elder's identity, one only needed to pull up the passenger information from the airport, and this little girl's every action hardly seemed like lies.

Zhao Bingren was the former chancellor of Jin State University, known in Jin State as the father of commerce. He had cultivated many students, with many of them becoming the business tycoons of major cities today.

Especially in Jin State, almost half of the city's business circle had emerged from under this elder's guidance, and he was absolutely a respected figure in Jin State.

Many people traveled thousands of miles to Jin State, all for the chance to gain guidance from this respected elder.

One could say Zhao Bingren had very broad connections in the business circle, and it would be a breeze for him to cause Liu Jianshu and others in the business world to suffer losses.

Liu Jianshu then respectfully said, "Elder Zhao, this was a misunderstanding. How could I dare to doubt your identity! I have always wanted to visit and seek advice from you, but I've never had the chance to even see your face. This is the first time I'm meeting you; please forgive my rudeness earlier."

The passengers who had mocked earlier now all shut their mouths, as many of them only ran small enterprises. If Zhao Bingren were to intervene, their businesses could collapse overnight.

Seeing Liu Jianshu's change in attitude, Yuan Jiwen knew things were going to be bad. The old man's identity was even more significant than he had imagined.

"Humph!"

Zhao Bingren had no intention of speaking with Liu Jianshu, and after a cold snort, he led his granddaughter up to Shen Feng and smiled, "Young man, thank you for helping my granddaughter. Whatever reward you want, just ask, and I can satisfy your request."

Shen Feng removed the silver needle from the girl's throat and said, "I don't need any reward; I only helped because it was convenient, you don't have to worry about it."

Upon hearing Shen Feng's refusal of Zhao Bingren's offer, Liu Jianshu and the others silently shook their heads. In their eyes, Shen Feng surely didn't know Zhao Bingren's identity; otherwise, this would be an opportunity of a lifetime! They stared with envy, wishing they could take Shen Feng's place.

Zhao Bingren was momentarily taken aback but was pleased that the little girl took a liking to Shen Feng. "Big brother, thank you for saving me. You don't even know my name! I'm Zhao Yingying, and you must remember it, okay?"

Zhao Bingren shared the same thought as Liu Jianshu; he knew that the other party definitely wasn't aware of his identity, and yet, he couldn't bring himself to shamelessly introduce himself again. After pondering for two seconds, he said, "Young man, don't be so quick to refuse. The offer of a reward stands at any time."

Originally sitting down, Shen Feng now turned his gaze towards Zhao Yingying, the charming little girl.

Previously, he sensed that Zhao Yingying's throat was severely damaged, so he infused the needle with Spiritual Energy to reactivate her throat.

Now, with Zhao Yingying so close, as he removed the needle, Shen Feng carefully sensed and could confirm that the girl had once accidentally consumed a Tri-flower Fruit.

This was a type of spiritual fruit from the Immortal Realm, used to make pills suitable for Cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
