You're Not Qualified

The middle-aged man was Zhang Yanran's father, named Zhang Qikun, the current head of the Zhang family.

The reason he asked Master Zhong to help extend his father's life by three to five months was because he didn't want to see his father leave this world like this.

Another major reason is that the Zhang family patriarch is the true pillar of the Zhang family. As long as he is alive, the Zhang family can rely on more and more resources.

He wanted to use these three to five months to make more preparations to ensure that the Zhang family could still maintain its position as one of the four major families in Jiangcheng even after the old man's death.

However, when Zhang Qikun heard that genuine century-old wild ginseng was needed, his expression became somewhat dejected.

Recently, the Zhang family has been spending a huge amount of money to search for genuine century-old wild ginseng, but to no avail.

However, now that he wants to prolong his father's life, he must use wild ginseng immediately, which makes him feel disappointed.

Da da da!

Just then, footsteps came quickly from the bedroom doorway.

Everyone couldn't help but look towards the entrance, where they immediately saw an old man in gray robes hurriedly leading a distinguished young man and several other burly men into the room.

Upon seeing the old man in gray, Zhang Qikun immediately frowned and asked, "Butler, is there something you need?"

The elderly man in gray was none other than the Zhang family's steward. The steward immediately reported respectfully, "Master, we've found it! The century-old wild ginseng has finally been found!"

Zhang Qikun was just worrying about the century-old wild ginseng when, unexpectedly, the butler suddenly brought such good news.

He was overjoyed: "Where is the century-old wild ginseng now?"

The butler immediately turned his gaze to the extraordinary young man behind him.

The young man immediately approached Zhang Qikun, bowed respectfully, and said, "Uncle Zhang, I recently heard Yanran say that she was looking for a hundred-year-old wild ginseng to prolong the old man's life!"

"I immediately used my connections and spent a huge sum of money to manage to obtain a genuine century-old wild ginseng from my ancestral family, a renowned family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in the provincial capital!"

"Now that it's in my hands, I rushed here!"

As the young man spoke, he immediately took a very exquisite and luxurious brocade box from one of his burly men and handed it to Zhang Qikun.

Zhang Qikun couldn't help but take it. The moment he opened it, an unimaginable fragrance of ginseng wafted out, which greatly surprised him.

Everyone else was also taken aback.

Zhang Qikun stared intently at the century-old wild ginseng in the brocade box. It looked like a dry, wrinkled old man, with strands of golden thread-like patterns on its body. He realized that this must be a genuine century-old wild ginseng.

However, he turned to the young man who was staring at him and asked curiously, "Wen Dao, you have a good heart!"

"But you've gone to all this trouble to bring me this century-old wild ginseng, surely you have some other request?"

This extraordinary young man was none other than Dao Ge, who had accompanied Zhang Yanran in the Peach Blossom Mountains yesterday in her search for century-old wild ginseng.

The moment the other person entered, Lu Yang recognized him, because the other person hadn't suffered those two hundred bruises yesterday for nothing; the swelling hadn't completely subsided yet.

Lu Yang never expected that the other party would actually find a genuine century-old wild ginseng.

The moment the brocade box was opened, Lu Yang couldn't help but activate his Yin-Yang Divine Eye from afar, and saw that there was indeed a hundred-year-old wild ginseng lying inside.

However, to his surprise, although the century-old wild ginseng was indeed a century-old wild ginseng, it had some problems!

Li Wendao said somewhat awkwardly, "Well... Uncle Zhang, you know that I did all this for Yanran. If you're willing to marry Yanran to me, I'll use this century-old wild ginseng as a betrothal gift. What do you think?"

Before Zhang Qikun could respond, Zhang Yanran interrupted, saying bluntly, "Li Wendao, don't even think about it!"

"No matter what method you use, I will never truly agree to marry you, because you are not qualified!"

Then, Zhang Yanran pulled Lu Yang directly in front of Li Wendao and boasted, "Li Wendao, you think you can threaten me with this method? You're so wrong!"

"Because we don't need any century-old wild ginseng at all; Xiao Yang can completely cure my grandfather's illness!"

Li Wendao's face darkened as he was rejected and ridiculed by Zhang Yanran in front of everyone.

He looked at Lu Yang, gritted his teeth, and said with disdain, "Zhang Yanran, you said you wanted this peasant to help the old man completely cure his illness?"

"Do you really believe he has extraordinary medical skills? I'm afraid you were deceived by him yesterday without even realizing it!!"

Yesterday, Li Wendao and the others learned from Zhang Yanran that Lu Yang had helped her heal her sprained ankle in a very short time. As a result, Zhang Yanran's ankle was as if she had never sprained it at all.

At that time, Li Wendao and the others thought that Zhang Yanran might be joking with them.

Now, to his surprise, Zhang Yanran actually regarded Lu Yang as a little miracle doctor, how could he not mock her?

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qikun looked at Zhang Yanran with puzzlement and asked curiously, "Yanran, what exactly happened?"

Zhang Yanran hasn't revealed that she invited Lu Yang to treat her grandfather's illness yet, preparing to give everyone a huge surprise.

Now that her father was questioning her in person, she immediately recounted everything that had happened the day before.

He emphasized repeatedly, "Dad, Xiaoyang is truly a little miracle doctor. If it weren't for him, my sprained ankle from yesterday would never have recovered so quickly!"

"If you don't believe me, you can check my ankle now to see if there's any further injury."

As she spoke, Zhang Yanran immediately exposed her ankle, not only for Zhang Qikun to examine, but also for everyone present to have a good look at it.

This will also let everyone know that Lu Yang is a real little miracle doctor.

Zhang Qikun couldn't help but check, only to find that Zhang Yanran's ankle had no injury whatsoever, which made him feel like he had been tricked by his precious daughter.

He said somewhat angrily, "Yanran, are you kidding me? This isn't the time for nonsense, you know?"

Just then, the renowned traditional Chinese medicine master, Dr. Zhong, who was not far away, suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Eh..."

He immediately walked quickly to Zhang Yanran's feet and stared intently at her ankles.

After observing her for a moment, he asked Zhang Yanran with some disbelief, "Young friend, did you really sprain your ankle yesterday, and was it healed?"

Seeing that Elder Zhong had figured something out, Zhang Yanran nodded with delight and pride, saying, "Elder Zhong, could you have noticed that my ankle was injured yesterday and then healed?"

Master Zhong nodded and said, "That's right!"

"The fact that you asked this means you were indeed injured yesterday and have been healed!"

"Then I'd like to ask you, is this young friend the same miraculous doctor who healed your injuries?"
