Strongest Medical Saint-Chapter 421 - Full and Bored
Uncle Wu's expression fluctuated uncertainly.
Could it be that his younger sibling had let slip this matter? Was this young man fully prepared?
Just as he was about to question.
Xiao Yiqiu had just finished her phone call and saw Uncle Wu was also present; her beautiful eyebrows immediately furrowed.
The call had been from her mother, who had ordered her not to bring Shen Feng back, confirming that Uncle Wu must have secretly snitched.
It was only about a five-minute walk from here to her home, and since the car refused to start, Xiao Yiqiu did not plan on waiting around. Her eyes, framed by beautiful arches, turned towards Shen Feng, "Teacher Shen, let's walk over together!"
Shen Feng nodded casually, he had not eavesdropped on Xiao Yiqiu's phone call and thus was unaware of its content.
Uncle Wu saw that Xiao Yiqiu completely ignored him. Frustrated, he followed behind them, his gaze constantly fixed on Shen Feng's back.
The affair between him and his younger sister-in-law had been a drunken mistake.
Moreover, his brother used to be constantly irresponsible and was absent for months at a time.
This was the most guilt-ridden act Uncle Wu ever committed, and though his brother had since reformed completely, he never dared to reveal the incident.
He pondered incessantly, how exactly did this young man find out about it?
Shen Feng paid no attention to Uncle Wu trailing behind him.
Xiao Yiqiu led him to a house where two middle-aged men and a young man were already waiting.
One of them, a burly man with clearly defined facial features, was Xiao Yiqiu's uncle Xiao Zhiguang. He had trained many excellent soldiers and was recognized as the strongest man in this military zone.
The other was a very scholarly middle-aged man, Xiao Yiqiu's father Xiao Zhicheng, who worked a civilian job within the military zone.
The last one, standing next to Xiao Zhiguang, was about twenty-seven, looking at Shen Feng with deep disdain and mockery in his eyes. He was Xiao Zhiguang's son, Xiao Yi, known as a prodigy within the military zone, possessing exceptional talents in all aspects, although he often appeared carefree and nonchalant.
Seeing Xiao Yiqiu and Shen Feng approach the door without waiting for Xiao Yiqiu to speak, Xiao Zhiguang sized up Shen Feng and said, "I presume you are Mr. Shen who took first place in the national medical skill selection contest?"
As he spoke,
Xiao Zhiguang extended his hand towards Shen Feng, not bringing up Shen Feng's last-minute withdrawal from the international medical contest.

They had likely learned everything about Shen Feng's identity from Uncle Wu's earlier discreet message.
Indeed, their intention today in bringing Xiao Yiqiu back was to introduce her to an outstanding suitor.
Under Xiao Yi's taunting gaze, Shen Feng also reached out and shook hands with Xiao Zhiguang.
It was too late for Xiao Yiqiu to intercede; although she knew of Teacher Shen's extraordinary medical skills and that he had dealt with a demon within a painting before, she was still unclear about the extent of Shen Feng's prowess.
She was very aware, however, of her uncle's capabilities; his grip strength could even crush the bones of an average person.
Xiao Zhicheng stood to the side without a word; they had already agreed that if Shen Feng dared to come, they would immediately knock him down a peg, making him leave of his own accord.
Uncle Wu, following behind them, saw Shen Feng shake hands with Xiao Zhiguang and a smile finally appeared on his old face, as if he could already envision Shen Feng crying out in pain.
However,
As Xiao Zhiguang grasped Shen Feng's hand and slowly began to exert force, he finally realized something was amiss; the other man's palm felt as solid as a lump of iron.
The harder he squeezed, the more his own palm hurt, yet the young man in front of him remained completely expressionless.
Xiao Yiqiu frowned and said, "Elder brother, Teacher Shen is here to treat our grandfather's illness. Is this how you treat a guest?"
She still didn't know that her elder uncle was at a disadvantage!
Xiao Yi's face was filled with confusion. Logically, this young man should be crying out in pain by now!
Xiao Zhicheng was also looking at Xiao Zhiguang, wondering if his elder brother, known for his quick temper, would have really refrained from being harsh on the youngster.
And Xiao Zhiguang, who had his palm clasped with Shen Feng, felt as anxious inside as ants on a hot pan — he wanted to withdraw his hand but was unable to do so, yet he couldn't bring himself to admit this.
He had intended to intimidate Shen Feng, but somehow he had ensnared himself instead!
Xiao Zhiguang managed a strained smile and said, "Mr. Shen, please!"
The meaning in his words was clear; he wanted Shen Feng to release his hand.
Shen Feng smiled, and in the moment he let go of his grasp, he applied a bit more force. He was not one to be accustomed to being on the losing end.
With that slight exertion of strength,
Xiao Zhiguang immediately felt as if his bones were about to break, yet he had to endure it. His face turned red with the effort as he choked out, "Quick, let the guest in!"
Xiao Yi was most afraid of his old man, and Xiao Zhicheng also had no clue what his elder brother was scheming.
Leading Shen Feng and Xiao Yiqiu into the house, Uncle Wu trailed behind them.
After everyone had entered the house,
Xiao Zhiguang finally let out a cry of pain — just before, he had used his other hand to cover the one that had been grasping Shen Feng's.
Now, that hand was trembling uncontrollably, and he could not stop it. He muttered to himself, "Is this kid really just a puppet put forward by the Chinese Medicine Community? Could he have Divine Power? If that's the case, then with my guidance, perhaps we could have the strongest King of Soldiers!"
"However, an ordinary King of Soldiers is still not worthy of Yiqiu. If the Xiao Family wants to ascend further, we must depend on a powerful family."
"Within the collateral branches of the Xiao Family, there are also descendants of a suitable age. If this young man is willing, perhaps we could have him marry into the Xiao Family!"
After composing himself, he too headed inside the house.
All the way to the courtyard,
night had already fallen.
In the courtyard, besides Shen Feng and the others, there was an old man lying on a lounge chair, squinting as he sized up Shen Feng.
He knew that because of this rascal, he had shattered his beloved purple clay teapot in anger.
Xiao Yi didn't understand why his father allowed Shen Feng to come in, but now was not the time to ponder these things. Disregarding the puppet the Chinese Medicine Community had pushed forward, he said coldly, "Now you can have a look at my grandfather! He's been feeling unwell for the entire afternoon."
Old Master Xiao, lying on the lounge chair, had indeed been unwell for the afternoon, yet the doctors had found nothing amiss — they had just advised him to rest more.
Under the mocking gazes of Xiao Yi and the others, Shen Feng didn't approach Old Master Xiao to check his pulse. Instead, he said indifferently, "He's simply suffering from overindulgence!"
Hearing this,
All members of the Xiao Family, including Xiao Yiqiu, were slightly taken aback.
Xiao Zhiguang, Xiao Zhicheng, Xiao Yi, and Uncle Wu showed immediate anger on their faces, now more convinced than ever that this boy was a quack with no medical skill whatsoever!
