The Zhang Xuan in front of her had already changed his appearance to that of Physician Bai Chan. If she hadn't seen him putting on his clothes, she would have thought that Physician Bai had a twin brother.
She had heard of disguise before, but in Mo Yu's opinion, it was just a smokescreen. As long as one was careful, one would be able to see through it. However, the sight before her had completely overturned her understanding.
In the blink of an eye, he had turned into a completely different person... How in the world did this fellow do it?
Could he really be... a disguise master?
Legend had it that there was a heaven-defying occupation in the Middle Nine Paths known as a disguise master. Even though it didn't increase one's fighting prowess, it allowed one to disguise as someone they had met before. It was the best way to conceal oneself and escape.
However, this occupation had long disappeared in the annals of history, and no one had ever seen it before. She had only heard of it from a few elders, and she thought that it was just a legend. To think that... it was actually real!
Medicine, beast taming, pill forging, master teacher...
She thought that this was the limits of this young man, but to think that he had another disguise!
A normal cultivator might not be able to learn a single occupation even after spending their entire life. Yet, he seemed to know everything...
Does your family sell occupations? Otherwise, how could a person who isn't even twenty possibly know so much?
How could there be such a freak in the world!
More importantly, a freak will be a freak. It is one thing for him to abide by the rules, but... he doesn't play by the rules!
Previously, she thought that this fellow was just trying to provoke others with his words. Never in her dreams did she expect that... he was even more vicious than that!
Back at the Beast Hall, he snatched the savage beast that she had tamed with much difficulty. Yet, this time, he knocked Physician Bai out with a single punch, and she was the scapegoat...
I am here to help. Who did I offend?
If I were to become the scapegoat, how am I going to take the physician examination in the future?
Thinking of this, Mo Yu felt an urge to go berserk.
"Let's go!"
Ignoring the conflicted Mo Yu, Zhang Xuan prepared himself and walked toward the Great Herb King's residence.
The Heaven's Path Disguise Art allowed him to alter his muscles and bones according to his will. Not only was his appearance similar to Physician Bai Chan's, even his voice was imitated to perfection, making it difficult for others to recognize him.
It was precisely because of this that he decided to impersonate Physician Bai Chan instead of taking the examination.
As for whether this would offend the Physician Guild or not, there was no need to worry.
No matter what, Mo Yu was still a princess. If she couldn't even settle such a small matter, what kind of joke was this?
Besides, the reason why he disguised himself as the other party was so that he could meet the Great Herb King and inquire about the location of the Poison Temple. It wasn't as if he was committing a crime.
"Damn it …"
Seeing that the other party had already left the alley, Mo Yu gritted her teeth and chased after him.
Now that he had been dragged into the water, even if he wanted to deny it, he couldn't. He could only go all the way.
"It's easy for you to find a physician emblem, but when you meet the Great Herb King later on, let's see what you can do!"
There were physicians who specialized in treating both humans and beasts. While this fellow was able to treat the Howling Firmament Beast with ease, he might not be able to treat a human.
If his illness couldn't be treated, what was the use of seeing the Great Herb King?
Not too long later, they arrived at the Great Herb King's residence.
The guards continued to stand guard outside, seemingly knowing that the Great Herb King wouldn't meet anyone. Discussions broke out in the surroundings, but no one dared to approach him to pass him a name scroll.
After tidying his attire, Zhang Xuan imitated Physician Bai Chan's gait based on his memory and walked to the entrance.
"Look, another person is courting death!"
"Hehe, there were already a few people who didn't know what was good for them today, and they were all beaten to death. Yet, this fellow still dares to come here. He sure doesn't know his place!"
"Haha, he might not even know that he was poisoned to death!"
Seeing Zhang Xuan walking in, the surrounding crowd gloated.
There were countless people who wanted to visit the Great Herb King every day. If Zhang Xuan wasn't courting death, what else could he do?
"Halt!" The guard frowned and blocked the two of them.
"I am a physician!" Zhang Xuan took out his emblem.
"Physician?" The guard glanced at Zhang Xuan and shook his head, "I'm sorry, but our residence only accepts 2-star physicians and above!"
"Only 2-star physicians and above?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback and he nearly spurted blood.
When he heard that the old man said that any physician could enter, he hurriedly went to look for his emblem. He didn't expect that there would be such a requirement.
Even if he had the time, where could he find a 2-star physician emblem?
Most 1-star physicians were at Pixue realm and Tongxuan realm, and they could be dealt with easily. 2-star physicians were at least Zongshi realm experts. Even if they wanted to snatch the emblem, they wouldn't dare to make a move!
"Sir, please return!" Stepping forward, the guard gestured for Zhang Xuan to leave.
Hearing those words and seeing the other party's actions, Mo Yu knew that it was impossible for her to enter. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she saw Zhang Xuan placing his hands behind his back and frowning.
"Audacious!"
He exuded an authoritative aura. "I, Bai Chan, am indeed a 1-star physician, but who said that a 1-star physician can't treat patients?"
Mo Yu felt her vision turning dark.
It was true that a 1-star physician could treat patients... But even your 1-star physician was fake. Where did you get your confidence from?
Aren't you being too gutsy!
Didn't you see the previous scene? If you aren't careful, you might die...
Her heart skipped a beat. She regretted following this fellow here.
"A 1-star physician can treat patients, but..."
The guard didn't expect a mere 1-star physician before him to be so stubborn. He was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to continue speaking, the middle-aged man suddenly raised his hand and questioned, "Did those 2-star and 3-star physicians who went in previously manage to treat your old master's illness?"
"This..."
The guard was taken aback.
In the past few days, there had been quite a few 2-star and 3-star physicians here, but until now, none of them had any idea what illness the old master was suffering from, needless to say, treat him.
"The rank of the emblem doesn't represent one's true capability. Can you bear the responsibility for delaying your old master's treatment?"
Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up, and he said sternly, "Why aren't you letting us in yet?"
"This..."
The few guards stared at one another, unable to make up their minds.
Even though the higher the rank of a physician, the higher their capability would be. However, there were some who were capable but didn't have their rank tested.
If this fellow was truly capable but was denied entry, who would be able to bear the responsibility if the old master were to blame them?
However, the higher-ups had also stated that 1-star physicians weren't allowed in. For a moment, everyone was conflicted.
"What's wrong?"
Just as they were in a stalemate, a voice sounded and a middle-aged man walked out.
"Butler Lu!" Upon seeing the middle-aged man, the guards bowed.
"What happened?"
Walking out of the door, Butler Lu saw Zhang Xuan and Mo Yu standing not too far away. With the guards blocking their path, he frowned.
"This is Physician Bai Chan. He is a 1-star physician..." The guard hurriedly explained.
"1-star physician? Just chase him away! "Butler Lu waved his hands.
As the butler of the Great Herb King, he had seen plenty of 2-star and 3-star physicians. A 1-star physician was beneath his notice.
"But he said that... no one can bear the responsibility if the old master's treatment is delayed. He seems to be confident that he can treat the old master..."
The guard hesitated.
"What arrogant words!" Harrumphing, Butler Lu turned to look at Zhang Xuan with disdain in his eyes. "You said that you can treat the old master's illness? Even 2-star and 3-star physicians dare not boast, where do you get your confidence from? "
The guards might be unaware of the old master's illness, but he was well aware of it. Even a few 3-star physicians were unable to diagnose the old master's illness. How could a mere 1-star physician like him know anything?
"You don't need to know where my confidence comes from! If you don't believe me, we can make a bet! "
Zhang Xuan looked at him.
Butler Lu lifted his eyelids and disdain flashed across his eyes. "Bet on what?"
"If you punch me once, I'll know what illness you are suffering from!" Zhang Xuan placed his hands behind his back.
"What nonsense are you spouting? Butler Lu has a strong body, how can he possibly be suffering from any illness? "
"It's obvious that you are spouting nonsense. I have seen plenty of 3-star physicians, but I have never heard of one who can treat illnesses through punches!"
"What a pretentious prick! Just chase such a person away!"
The guards bellowed.
Mo Yu felt her face burning up. She nearly dug a hole and jumped into it.
Other physicians treat illnesses by looking, smelling, and asking questions. She had never heard of a physician treating illnesses through punches... Do you think that you are looking at a monkey? Do two somersaults and you will know whether there is a problem with your body...
Initially, she thought that this fellow had a deep understanding of physicians after treating the Howling Firmament Beast. But in the end...
You aren't treating a human, you are treating a savage beast!
Savage beasts don't know how to speak, so they usually have to move their limbs before they can be diagnosed. Shouldn't you verify whether he is a savage beast first before asking Butler Lu to do the same?
Besides, the one who is ill is the Great Herb King. Why are you asking the butler...
"You..."
Butler Lu often interacted with physicians, so naturally, he knew that one would only move their arms and legs when treating savage beasts. Furious, his face flushed. Just as he was about to speak, his vision blurred, and a fist flew straight toward him.
"Audacious!"
Seeing a 1-star physician daring to punch him in front of the Great Herb King, Butler Lu's face was so dark that blood could drip from it.
"You're courting death!"
"How dare you!"
The guards didn't expect Zhang Xuan to be so daring. They unsheathed their weapons, and killing intent surged from their bodies. Some of them even held onto poison in their hands, ready to throw it out at any moment.
Hu!
Before Butler Lu's palm could come into contact with the other party, the physician who launched a sneak attack on him had already retreated back to his original spot. With his hands behind his back, the physician had a calm expression on his face, as though he had never moved at all.
"Men, take him down!"
Butler Lu bellowed.
Regardless of what the other party was up to, Red Lotus City was the territory of the Great Herb King. If anyone dared to mess around here, regardless of whether he was a 1-star or 2-star physician, even if he was a prince or a princess, it would be futile!
"Take me down?"
Zhang Xuan shook his head. Glancing at the middle-aged man before him, he said, "If Butler Lu thinks that his daily asthma is tolerable, I'll leave right now. There's no need for you to do anything!"
"What did you say?"
Butler Lu was taken aback, and his face paled.
(I wish everyone a happy Lantern Festival! Laoya's voice is quite beautiful, right? Haha, since Laoya is singing, do you think that there will be any monthly tickets left? Laoya is watching anxiously...)
