The despair in the hearts of the Mo family and others grew ever stronger.
The doctor who could be invited to the Ping An Inn by Mr. Li must be one of the most renowned doctors in the world.
But no matter who it was, their expression never looked good when faced with Duanmu Rong's illness.
Although no concrete results have been released yet, people already have their own guesses.
Everyone had finished diagnosing Duanmu Rong, but they no longer had the excitement they had just felt.
Everyone frowned, seemingly pondering how to save Duanmu Rong.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian smiled slightly and said, "Since we've already seen a patient..."
"Then I suppose you all wouldn't mind watching the second one."
As he spoke, Li Chengqian pointed to Ouyang Mingri, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and said, "The price I paid for inviting the renowned doctor Ouyang to Ping'an Inn was to cure his leg."
"Why don't you try it too and see if you have any better solutions?"
Upon hearing Li Chengqian's words, the members of the temporary medical team all turned serious.
Because they knew this was Mr. Li's way of putting them in a difficult position!
Actually, when everyone arrived at Ping An Inn, they were still somewhat arrogant.
They either believe their medical skills are unparalleled in the world, and that the Peace Inn can accommodate only them, with absolutely no need to hire anyone else.
They either believed that although Mr. Li was omniscient, his medical skills were still inferior to their own.
After thinking for a moment, Hu Qingniu finally bowed and said.
“We have already discussed Ouyang’s condition. He is born with a deficiency that cannot be cured by medicine.”
"As for this young lady's condition, please forgive me for being unable to help."
"Based on the pulse diagnosis, this young lady should also be a doctor, and a highly skilled one at that."
"Her body has accumulated a lot of medicinal power. With such a constitution, no matter what injury she suffers or what poison she is poisoned by, she will be able to withstand it."
“They usually recover faster than the average person, but her injuries are too severe.”
"The accumulated medicinal power in her body has become a burden. Logically speaking, she should have died long ago, but the two kinds of medicinal power have forcibly kept her alive."
"Under these circumstances, I can't think of any way to treat it."
Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "As expected of the Immortal Physician of Butterfly Valley, your judgment is absolutely accurate."
"This woman is named Duanmu Rong, a descendant of the Qin Dynasty medical family, and is known in the martial arts world as the Immortal Physician."
"After being seriously injured, he was first treated by Xunzi, a Confucian master, and then he took the Blood Bodhi that I gave him."
"This is how they saved their lives, but it also created this complicated situation."
After speaking, Li Chengqian glanced at Gai Nie and the others, then placed his hand on Duanmu Rong's wrist.
Seeing Li Chengqian make a move, the Mo family members were on tenterhooks.
The reason everyone has traveled such a long distance to come here is to treat Duanmu Rong.
If even the Sword Immortal of Peace cannot cure her, is there anyone in the world who can save her?
After a moment, Li Chengqian raised his right hand, which he had used to take Duanmu Rong's pulse, and then gently tapped Duanmu Rong's forehead with his sword-finger.
At this moment, Li Chengqian's expression also became much more serious, clearly indicating that Duanmu Rong's condition was very difficult to treat.
"Whoo~"
Li Chengqian let out a long sigh, withdrew his right hand, and the smile returned to his face.
Upon seeing this, Gai Nie immediately asked, "Mr. Li, is there any hope for Miss Rong?"
"Yes, it's a bit difficult, but it's not impossible."
Upon hearing this, the Mohists were about to bow to Li Chengqian, but before they could do so, Li Chengqian stopped them.
"Let's wait until later to say thank you."
“Li is not a doctor, so he has no medical ethics.”
"If you want me to save people, you'll have to pay the price."
"In exchange, I want the Mohist principle of non-aggression."
Upon hearing this, the Mohists immediately frowned. Non-aggression was the Mohists' most precious treasure; how could they give it away so easily?
"Mr. Li, the principle of non-aggression is a treasure of the Mohist school. Could you exchange it for something else?"
Gao Jianli stepped forward, and Dao Zhi chimed in, "That's right, we'll give you whatever you want, even my life."
As he spoke, Dao Zhi pressed a sharp weapon against his own throat.
He looked as if he would be killed instantly at the slightest command from Li Chengqian.
However, Li Chengqian did not react to the two men's words at all. Instead, he went up to Tianming and asked a question.
"Tianming, the policy of non-aggression is in your hands, and you are also the leader of the Mohist school."
"You are more qualified than anyone else to decide whether or not to join Non-Aggression."
"Would you be willing to exchange non-aggression for Duanmu Rong's life?"
Upon hearing this, Master Xu wanted to remind Tianming not to act rashly and do something wrong.
But before he could speak, Li Chengqian raised his hand to stop him.
Faced with such a momentous decision, Tianming racked his brains, trying to think of a solution.
"Can you really cure that strange woman?"
"Yes."
"Alright then, here you go."
As he spoke, Tianming pulled the Non-Aggression Pact from his robes, but by the time Li Chengqian reached for it...
Tianming suddenly pulled his hand back.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian was not in a hurry. Instead, he asked with a smile, "Have you changed your mind?"
"I haven't changed my mind at all."
"You need to cure the strange woman first before I can give you Non-Aggression. What if you can't cure her?"
"Non-aggression is the Mohist school's most precious treasure; it is irreplaceable for the Mohists."
"Are you really willing to trade it for Duanmu Rong's life?"
"Non-aggression is precious, but it is not as important as a human life!"
Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian stood up and laughed loudly.
"Hahaha!"
"You are supposed to be leaders of the Mohist school, and you are quite famous figures in the Qin Dynasty."
“Some things are not even as clear as a child’s. If you save people but lose land, you can save both people and land; if you save land but lose people, you can lose both people and land.”
"Don't you all understand this principle?"
"Duanmu Rong has saved so many Mohist disciples that even you yourselves probably can't count them all."
“She is now in critical condition, and you are hesitating because of an inanimate object.”
"If the founder of the Mohist school saw your behavior, he would probably jump out of the ground and beat you up."
Upon hearing Li Chengqian's words, both Master Xu and Old Man Ban looked somewhat ashamed.
Because they are not really willing to relinquish the principle of non-aggression.
"For Tianming's sake, I'll give you another option: if you can win an equivalent reward during the event."
"You can also offer a reward to get me to help."
Chapter 424 Fusu in a Dilemma, Li Chengqian: Do You Want to Be Emperor?
"Thank you, Mr. Li."
Faced with the opportunity given by Li Chengqian, the Mohists expressed their gratitude in unison.
However, Li Chengqian didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he wandered around the three women, Xue Nu, Shao Siming, and Da Siming.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and watched Li Chengqian's actions.
Especially Young Master Zhao and Young Master Song, who raised their eyebrows in response to Li Chengqian's actions.
Because they seem to have discovered Li Chengqian's "weakness".
Although Li Chengqian was not greedy for fame or fortune, he was a womanizer!
The reason why no one in the martial arts world could seduce him with their beauty was simply because those ordinary women were not worthy of Li Chengqian's attention.
As Li Chengqian's gaze gradually focused, the three Snow Maidens felt extremely uncomfortable.
They felt that Li Chengqian's gaze was penetrating, and that they felt completely naked in front of him.
"Mr. Li, as the saying goes, one should not look at what is improper. Isn't it somewhat impolite of you to stare at a woman like that?"
Gao Jianli interrupted Li Chengqian's gaze with his words.
Li Chengqian glanced at Gao Jianli, whose jealousy was rising, and shook his head with a smile.
"Don't project your filth onto me. I'm just enjoying the scenery."
"Everyone has two eyes and one nose. Although their appearances may differ, the underlying structure is the same."
"It is because of the existence of flesh and blood that people with different appearances are formed in the world."
"Only vulgar people would only care about appearances and have such filthy thoughts."
After saying that, Li Chengqian gave Gao Jianli another look.
The meaning couldn't be clearer.
At this point, Gao Jianli was caught between a dilemma: to defend himself or not to defend himself.
Making excuses makes one seem guilty.
If we don't explain, what if the Snow Woman takes it seriously?
