Chapter 60: Bidding for a House Call

Kan Kun did not understand, but he still followed Tang Xuan's instructions.

As soon as this news broke, the entire city of Junyang was in an uproar.

Some people even began to curse Liu Hao for lacking any moral integrity.

His medical skills were subpar, and his character was equally deplorable.

When Liu Hao received the news, he was nearly driven to apoplexy.

"How did you bumbling idiots handle things? How on earth did you get caught?!"

"No, we didn't, Dr. Liu! We smashed the place and ran immediately. Nobody caught us at all."

Liu Hao refused to believe it.

"If nobody caught you, how did he know I was the one who sent you?"

"We have no idea either. The brothers who went down there, I had them leave Junyang City right away. There's no way they left any incriminating evidence behind."

"Damn it! He dares to throw dirty water on me without a shred of evidence!"

"Dr. Liu, well... this isn't exactly unmerited dirty water, is it?"

"Get the hell out of my sight."

Liu Hao hurled his phone to the ground, shattering it into pieces.

"I won't let you off the hook. Just wait and see how I deal with you."

As soon as Tang Xuan finished his task, Qi Dao walked up to him.

"What were you doing just now?"

"Why do I feel like this kid has changed somehow?"

Tang Xuan looked at little Xuanzi with a smile on his face.

"Can you tell? He will be the future martial arts grandmaster, the absolute strongest."

Qi Dao let out a scornful laugh.

"I can sense nothing. He is merely an ordinary mortal with zero martial arts talent. And you call him the strongest? You must be blind."

Anyone who reached a certain realm could become a martial arts appraiser.

Much like Qin Feng back in the day.

However, not every martial arts appraiser's judgment was accurate.

"You're the one who's blind as a bat. He is clearly immensely strong; you just lack the discernment to see it."

"Strong? Let him fight me then. Let me witness it for myself."

This was currently a rather troublesome issue for Tang Xuan.

Little Xuanzi's overall strength was already comparable to that of a Xunfeng Realm powerhouse, but after all, he was still an infant of just over two months old and incapable of displaying his true combat prowess on a battlefield.

If he could step into the martial ring at this age, it would truly cause a sensation that shook the world.

"You can fight me instead. Care to have a go?"

Upon hearing these words, Qi Dao instantly drooped his head.

He was no match for Tang Xuan at all.

Before long, Kan Kun called again.

"Master Tang, the Wang family has sent people over, hoping you will go and treat Wang Li."

"Tell them I have no time."

Kan Kun could not understand. This was the prestigious Wang family!

If he could cure Wang Li, his reputation in Junyang City would skyrocket. Why would he refuse such an opportunity?

Over the next two months, Tang Xuan had Kan Kun seek out ordinary folks suffering from incurable diseases.

Tang Xuan treated them free of charge, and every single one of them made a full recovery under his care.

In the span of two months, Tang Xuan's reputation soared to such heights that almost everyone knew his name.

During these two months, Su Qin went to the clinic every morning to help out, because Tang Xuan was only there in the mornings.

She grew more and more convinced that Qi Dao was the person who had left Dang Palace.

Yet, she understood less and less why such a powerful figure chose to stay by Tang Xuan's side.

She had investigated Tang Xuan and knew about some of the events that had transpired in Jiangcheng.

However, many inside stories were guarded secrets that even the major families refused to speak of, leaving her unable to uncover them.

In Su Qin's eyes, Tang Xuan had become an impenetrable mystery, impossible to see through.

One day, two months later, Tang Xuan's clinic released a new announcement.

From then on, consultations would be held only once a week. Anyone in need of medical treatment could participate in an auction at the clinic.

The highest bidder would secure the qualification for Tang Xuan's personal consultation.

When Liu Hao learned of this, he flew into a rage.

In a mere two months, the people of Junyang City seemed to have forgotten that he was the true miracle doctor.

This made Liu Hao extremely defiant, and he publicly declared that anyone who dared to participate in the clinic's bidding would never receive treatment from him again.

"Has anyone gone?"

His assistant replied, "Dr. Liu, I heard the clinic is already packed to the brim, and all of them are your regular patients."

"How is that possible? Absolutely impossible!"

"Didn't they receive my warning?"

The assistant stammered, "I called them personally. They... should all be aware of it."

Furious beyond measure, Liu Hao drove straight to Tang Xuan's clinic.

Staring at the four bold characters on the signboard—Peerless Miracle Doctor—Liu Hao wished he could tear it down with his bare hands and trample it underfoot.

Storming into the clinic, ignoring the presence of numerous prominent figures, Liu Hao roared, "Have you all completely lost respect for me, Liu Hao?!"

"I'm warning you, it's not too late to leave right now."

"If you choose to stay here, I, Liu Hao, will never treat anyone in your families again."

Kan Kun walked up to Liu Hao with a smile.

"Well, well, if it isn't the erstwhile miracle doctor?"

"Liu Hao, you are no longer a miracle doctor. Get lost already. My Master Tang is the real miracle doctor."

"Have you any idea how many patients Master Tang has cured in the past two months?"

Liu Hao had completely lost his mind.

He could not bear the thought of his status being usurped.

He refused to accept that he had once stood on high, pampered by these great families, only to be utterly ignored by them now.

"It's all fake! Every single bit of it is fake!"

"That old beggar was a fake too."

"After his legs were supposedly cured, the old beggar vanished from Junyang City. Who knows if he's even dead?"

Kan Kun sighed inwardly.

Master Tang truly possessed remarkable foresight.

Had he not arranged for the old beggar to leave Junyang City, the man would likely have already fallen victim to Liu Hao's vicious hands.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since Liu Hao is causing a scene here, this auction恐怕 cannot proceed."

"Can someone please throw him out?"

As soon as those words fell, the representatives of the major families stood up one after another.

"Liu Hao, I advise you to get the hell out right now."

"Scram! Don't ruin our bidding."

"Tang Xuan is the only miracle doctor we recognize."

Clearly, Tang Xuan's exploits over the past two months had completely won these people over.

Two months ago, Kan Kun had failed to understand why Tang Xuan would do such a thing.

Healing those ordinary folks brought no money; it was sheer wasted effort.

But now he understood: reputation trumped everything.

Once you demonstrated your worth, your value would only increase.

Moreover, the revenue generated by this auction-style consultation method was simply unimaginable.

Liu Hao's eyes turned bloodshot.

"Do you really intend to trust this man?"

"I am the true miracle doctor! He is nothing but a piece of trash."

"Without my treatment, how long do your family members have left to live?"

Everyone present treated Liu Hao's words like so much hot air.

Every single person standing here had thoroughly investigated the patients Tang Xuan had cured over the past two months.

That was a feat impossible to fake.

"Liu Hao, if you don't get lost right now, don't blame us for being unpolite."

"Don't test me, or I'll break your legs."

"Get out! Stop delaying our important business."

Seeing the fierce and menacing expressions on everyone's faces, Liu Hao had no choice but to swallow his boundless resentment.

"Mark my words! Without me, Liu Hao, your family members are simply waiting to die!"
