Zhou Xingtong's current feelings were like ice and fire. He was in pain and happiness at the same time.
He was happy because his beloved grandson's illness could be cured. His thousand mile steed still had a chance to gallop on the fertile land of the Nine Provinces, becoming famous.
If Wenbin could become a secondary saint, the Zhou Clan's glory would continue for several hundred years.
But it was also painful!
Because Wenbin was saved by Sun Mo.
Honestly speaking, if it wasn't for the fact that Sun Mo was Li Ziqi's personal teacher and didn't ask his father to apologize to her, he would definitely treat Sun Mo as an esteemed guest.
He would personally pay a visit during festivals to show his respect.
"Great Teacher Sun, thank you for your help!"
After some hesitation, Zhou Xingtong clasped his hands and bowed deeply. "Xingtong had offended you earlier, please forgive me!"
Sun Mo drank his tea and didn't speak immediately.
Zhou Xingtong naturally couldn't get up and continued to maintain his bow posture.
Upon seeing this scene, all the high-ranking great teachers couldn't help but feel envious.
This was the power of knowledge!
It was enough to make a major character in the great teacher world lower his head.
Sun Mo, who was in his twenties, was already so outstanding. How terrifying would he grow to in the future?
One could foresee that a great scholar would be born soon.
Could Zhou Xingtong not apologize?
He couldn't!
Sun Mo saved his grandson and even answered his questions. This was a great favor.
Zhou Xingtong couldn't ignore it.
It was because these high-ranking great teachers were all people he had sought help from in his desperation. A few of them weren't familiar with the Zhou Clan.
Hence, it was impossible to hope that they wouldn't talk about what happened today.
If Zhou Xingtong dared to be ungrateful, they would definitely spread the news.
Of course, the most important thing was that no one knew if Sun Mo had finished his treatment.
If not, Zhou Xingtong might reject the apology and drive Sun Mo away. Then, Zhou Wenbin would have to wait for death.
After all, only Sun Mo knew everything about this fungus.
"Teacher Sun, it's about time."
Liang Hongda tried to persuade him.
One should forgive when possible.
"Teacher Zhou, don't worry. Whether you apologize or not, I'll save Wenbin. I don't need your clan to be grateful because in my heart, he's just a student who needs a teacher's care."
Sun Mo's words were to show off his bearing as a great teacher.
Actually, he was very unhappy with Zhou Xingtong in his heart because this fellow didn't contribute any favorable impression points. This meant that Zhou Xingtong wasn't grateful to him.
However, when the other great teachers heard this, they contributed a wave of favorable impression points.
"What other treatment do we need next?"
Miracle Doctor Feng asked.
"Just wait and see."
After Sun Mo spoke, he saw a little maid carrying a few plates of pastries waiting outside, not daring to enter. Her face was filled with a dumbfounded expression.
Seriously?
The high and mighty Great Master actually bowed and apologized to this young man?
My eyes must be playing tricks on me!
The little maidservant had seen it before. Every year during the New Year, all kinds of important people would come to visit. When they saw the Old Master, the smile on their faces would be as sweet as honey.
Having been in the Zhou family for ten years, the little handmaiden had only seen the eldest master scold people, but she had never seen him admit defeat.
"Great Teacher Sun? It should be that Sun Mo, Sun Sandu, right? "
The little maid guessed.
Zhou Wen Bin's condition was changing.
As more than 30 braziers heated up the room, the temperature rose and the spots on Zhou Wen Bin's body stopped spreading. Some of the blisters dried up and formed scabs, showing signs of peeling off.
"How many days will it take for him to fully recover?"
Miracle Doctor Feng humbly asked for advice.
"Three days at most."
Sun Mo's answer caused everyone to be shocked.
"So fast?"
Liu Xu didn't believe it. After all, Zhou Wen Bin was on the verge of death earlier. Even if he recuperated, it would take at least ten days to half a month.
"Poor people would definitely need to recuperate for a long time, but given the Zhou Clan's wealth, what medicinal pills can't they get?"
Sun Mo had long since smelled the scent of ginseng in the room. Moreover, it was a thousand-year-old ginseng.
Sun Mo had never seen such a thing before, let alone eating it.
"However, you have to pay attention to moderation. Miracle Doctor Feng, you should understand the logic of not being able to absorb nourishment. Hence, I'll have to trouble professional doctors like you to prescribe medicine."
Sun Mo lifted his hand.
Miracle Doctor Feng stroked his beard and revealed an amicable smile.
Actually, this Sun Mo was very tactful!
"Teacher Sun, can you explain in detail about this type of fungus?"
That short-haired great teacher pleaded.
"I don't really understand it either. I'm just reading the old headmaster's notes and reciting them accordingly."
Sun Mo mentally mused. (It's already not bad for me to tell you guys a general idea.)
(What about it?
Do you want to secretly learn?)
Although Sun Mo had said so much earlier, they were all superficial. As for how to identify the illness and determine the type of fungus, it would require a great amount of experience.
After all, in this world, many illnesses were similar.
Naturally, Sun Mo didn't reply because he discovered a detail.
After another 15 minutes, Zhou Wen Bin's condition clearly improved and he even woke up. This caused Zhou Xingtong to be overjoyed.
"Good grandson!"
"Grandpa?"
Zhou Wen Bin wanted to sit up and greet him, but Zhou Xingtong quickly pressed him down.
"Young Master Zhou, do you still remember the person who attacked you?"
Liang Hongda asked.
"It was a young man dressed in white!"
Zhou Wen Bin recalled. After that, he frowned in pain.
"Don't ask anymore. We can discuss this matter after he gets better."
Zhou Xingtong felt heartache.
"Now that everything is fine, I'll make a move first."
Sun Mo wanted to leave.
"Teacher Sun, please wait!"
Zhou Xingtong drew in a deep breath and tried his best to smile. "Why don't you stay for a meal? Let me express my gratitude! "
"No need!"
Sun Mo rejected.
Zhou Xingtong felt very awkward.
"Teacher Sun, the room is so smelly. Can you ventilate it?"
The short-haired great teacher asked to alleviate the awkward atmosphere.
"Sure!"
Sun Mo nodded.
"What about bathing?"
Liu Xu interjected. Actually, this was a small matter and wasn't important. Everyone only asked because they wanted to show their concern for Zhou Wen Bin's condition.
"There's no need for bathing, but if you feel that it's dirty, you can wipe your body."
Sun Mo's gaze swept through these great teachers inconspicuously.
En.
Maybe he was thinking too much.
"Grandpa, I want to wipe my face!"
Zhou Wen Bin felt that his body was sticky and smelly. It was as if someone had splashed feces on him. It was very unbearable.
"Go get a basin of water."
Zhou Xingtong instructed.
It was still that little maid from earlier. She quickly carried a basin of water and walked to the bed. After that, she knelt down and raised the basin above her head.
When Sun Mo saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh.
As a person from the modern era, he truly couldn't stand such a thing. A little girl around the age of ten should be living an innocent life and being protected by her parents. But now, she had to serve others every day.
Usually, it was the maid who was in charge of Zhou Wen Bin's food and daily life. But now, Zhou Xingtong was so concerned about his grandson that he personally wrung a wet towel and wiped Zhou Wen Bin's face.
"Teacher Sun, are you free tonight? Want to have a drink together? "
Liang Hongda saw this and walked to Sun Mo's side, inviting him again.
"I should be the one inviting the sect leader."
Sun Mo knew that if he continued to reject, he would really offend someone.
"Haha!"
Liang Hongda patted Sun Mo's shoulder, feeling that it wasn't bad that Sun Mo was giving him face. However, he still had to treat Sun Mo to this meal.
"Shall we go to Tingyutao?"
Liang Hongda wanted to say that he would bring Sun Mo to experience the romance of Songan Prefecture, but in the end, Zhou Wen Bin's screams rang out.
Clank!
The basin of water was overturned.
"Good grandson, what's wrong?"
Zhou Xingtong was anxious. "Teacher Sun, quickly come over and take a look!"
The other great teachers immediately squeezed to the bedside.
"What's wrong?"
Sun Mo dashed over with two strides. At the same time, his gaze swept past everyone, observing their expressions.
"So painful!"
Zhou Wen Bin screamed and stretched out his hand to scratch his face.
At this moment, a large number of blisters suddenly appeared on his face. Now that he scratched, the scabs on his face were pulled off, leaving behind a few traces of blood.
"Didn't you say that there's no problem?"
Zhou Xingtong felt extremely anxious when he saw his beloved grandson's miserable state.
Sun Mo walked to the bedside and took a few glances. Just when he was about to speak, Zhou Wen Bin's face suddenly exploded.
Pak!
Dark red blood and green mucus splattered everywhere.
Sun Mo's reaction was very fast. He hid behind Liu Xu and didn't forget to grab the little maid.
However, the other great teachers didn't have such a reaction. They had wanted to express their concern, but in the end, all sorts of liquids sprayed all over their faces.
A disgusting stench rapidly permeated the air.
Everyone immediately felt extremely disgusted. Just when they were planning to wash up, an intense burning sensation spread out on their faces.
What was even more terrifying was that the areas that came into contact with the mucus started to bulge with large pustules, resembling the backs of toads. It was extremely disgusting.
The great teachers subconsciously stretched out their hands to wipe them. In the end, those large pustules burst the moment they sprayed out. After the liquid inside flowed to other parts of the body, it would bring about new blisters.
"This... what is this?"
The little maid cried out in shock.
"Teacher Sun..."
Zhou Xingtong looked at the miserable state the others were in and guessed that he wasn't any better off. For a time, he was both shocked and enraged.
"Don't touch it with your hands!"
Miracle Doctor Feng shouted. He hurriedly took out a small porcelain bottle and some alchemy pills, distributing them to everyone.
These were blood coagulation pills. They didn't treat illnesses. Their main effect was to slow down the flow of blood. At the same time, it would also slow down the spread of the poison.
It was because most poisons would spread through the body through the blood.
"Teacher Sun, is this also that kind of fungus?"
"How did things turn out like this?"
"Teacher Sun, quickly think of a solution!"
The great teachers were anxious. Their faces were filled with a fiery stinging pain and burning sensation.
"No rush, no one will die."
Sun Mo consoled.
"What do you mean by no one will die? This daddy's face will be ruined! "
After Liu Xu scolded, he came to a realization.
Sun Mo's words meant that he could treat them, but his attitude was so vile...
(It's over. What if Sun Mo doesn't treat me?)
In an instant, Liu Xu was terrified.
"Teacher Sun, I'm sorry. I spoke indiscriminately."
Liu Xu hurriedly apologized.
There was no solution to it. He didn't wish to become a toad with a face full of pustules.
"Teacher Zhou, may I be so presumptuous as to ask if there are any grandmasters in botany among the people you guys have offended?"
Sun Mo spoke.
Zhou Xingtong frowned. (What should I say?)
The rise of a secondary saint would surely be accompanied by the defeat of countless opponents.
"Teacher Sun, which clan wouldn't have a few enemies?"
Liang Hongda gritted his teeth in pain. "Stop keeping us in suspense. Quickly treat everyone!"
