Hearing this, the old madam's face was filled with ecstasy. She could not suppress her excitement. The skin at the corner of her eyes kept trembling, causing the silver needles that were stuck in it to also sway back and forth.
However, Doctor He did not appease the old madam's emotions. Instead, he proudly revealed a smug smile. His smile had a hint of contempt for the world.
He seemed to regard himself as the savior of the world, and only himself was supreme.
It seemed that the legend of him that had spread throughout Bei 'an City during this period of time had pushed him to the highest point.
A soft snort suddenly sounded, and the entire hall fell silent. The City Lord, who was sitting on the main seat, heard the sound and looked in the direction of the gray-robed man.
This snort was filled with indifference. Anyone could hear it. The City Lord looked at Doctor He with some worry. This Doctor He had boasted so much about himself. Could he really do it?
Doctor He naturally heard it too. He turned his head and gloomily glared at the gray-robed man. "When I'm performing acupuncture, no one is allowed to disturb me. If you can't quietly watch by the side, then get out."
The atmosphere in the hall gradually turned cold and tense.
The grey-robed man sat there as motionless as a mountain. He didn't even make a sound. However, the aura emitted from his body told everyone that he wasn't being shouted at. He just couldn't be bothered to argue with Apothecary He.
For a moment, the atmosphere between the two of them seemed to be tense.
The City Lord smiled awkwardly and looked at Apothecary He. "Apothecary He, please prioritize saving people and treat my mother first."
"Sure, but after you're cured, I want that old thing to kneel down and admit his mistake." Doctor He pointed at the gray-robed man domineeringly.
The City Lord smiled helplessly. The gray-robed man was not his subordinate. How could he influence his will to kneel?
"Let's talk about it when you have the ability to save the old madam." The gray-robed man's vigorous voice sounded. It was still full of disdain for Doctor He. It made Doctor He so angry that his body tensed up.
"I will make you willingly kneel down, kowtow, and admit your mistake." After that, Doctor He turned around to face the old madam.
The City Lord furrowed his brows worriedly, and a chill ran down his spine.
It was not because of the bad blood between Doctor He and the gray-robed man. He was just worried that if Doctor He was in a bad mood, it would affect the acupuncture. At that time, if he hurt his mother, wouldn't his mother suffer?
If Doctor He was just an ordinary doctor, it would be fine. However, he was not only an alchemist, but also the only one in Bei 'an City. With his noble status, even as the City Lord, he had to give him some face. Therefore, even if he was angry, he couldn't blame him directly. He could only smile at the side.
As for the gray-robed man … he was also not someone he could casually offend.
Putting two people who could not be provoked together, and even allowing them to create sparks, made things so troublesome. Being sandwiched between them, even if he was the City Lord, he was just a mediating decoration.
Thinking of this, his face was full of helplessness.
Silence returned to the living room. Maybe it was because he was angered by the gray-robed man, but this time, Doctor He focused on the acupuncture and did not speak anymore.
After a while, Old Madam Xi's left eye was filled with silver needles of different sizes. The sight of it made everyone's heart tremble.
