Hearing the words of the Elder Matriarch, the room fell instantly silent; everyone stared at her in astonishment, and at this moment, hearing her words, Bai Jiao's pretty face turned as red as her neck in an instant.

"Mother, you cannot be so hasty," said Bai Shiyi, the Family Head of the Bai Family, as he hurried to interrupt.

But almost at the same moment, the smiling Shen Qiang already spoke, "With such an honor bestowed by an elder, how could I dare to refuse? I am most fortunate and will ensure that Bai Jiao does not suffer the slightest grievance."

Hearing this, Bai Shiyi's face turned cold.

Seeing his displeased expression, Shen Qiang's heart bloomed with joy.

Who would have thought it, wow!

Although Bai Jiao's grandmother was an ordinary person, she had a more acute sense than cultivators.

This could be heard from the words of Bai Jiao's grandmother.

Especially the phrase, to betroth Bai Jiao to Shen Qiang as his Daoist couple, not to marry her to you as a wife, held great wisdom within.

What is a Daoist couple?

Companions on the path of seeking Dao!

That single phrase had already shown considerable thoughtfulness.

Because Shen Qiang might already be married in ordinary life, or he might already have a girlfriend, and with the term Daoist couple, the concern was only for a status within the Cultivation World; the Elder Matriarch clearly had no intention to meddle in worldly matters.

With a ferocious look that screamed "don't you dare climb up the pole," Bai Shiyi glared hard at Shen Qiang and whispered, "Mother, you've just recovered from a serious illness, why don't I help you rest for a bit?"

With a smile that said "I will climb up the pole if that's what I want, what can you do about it?" Shen Qiang responded, "Elder Matriarch, with your promise, I am now at ease. When I return tomorrow, I'd like to take Bai Jiao with me."

Upon hearing this, Bai Shiyi's eyes widened.

The Elder Matriarch smiled, "Of course, that's no problem, but it's not often that you visit, and I would like to chat with you. Why don't you and Bai Jiao keep me company and talk with me for a bit, how about that?"

Hearing this, Bai Shiyi coughed abruptly, and with a cold glare at Shen Qiang, he said, "Mother, Shen Qiang is busy with business, he does not have the time to stay here. After eating, he must leave; I have already arranged his flight."

The Elder Matriarch looked surprised at Shen Qiang, "Oh, so there are business matters."

Shen Qiang rolled his eyes greatly at Bai Shiyi, then with a slight smile, he said, "There are indeed some business matters that are quite pressing, but Rome wasn't built in a day, and the money in this world can never be fully earned; thus, I have decided to push aside all business matters and stay here."

The Elder Matriarch smiled and taking Shen Qiang's hand, she said, "Good, it's rare for someone so young to see things so clearly."

Just then, amid the sound of footsteps, the Divine Doctor who had wiped the bloodstain from his cheek with a handkerchief looked at Bai Jiao's grandmother with shock and said, "Elder Matriarch, would you permit me to take your pulse?"

The Elder Matriarch glanced at Shen Qiang and shook her head, "Divine Doctor, I am doing well, there is no need..."

"Please let me have a look!" the Divine Doctor interrupted rudely, "Because Shen Qiang may have just utilized some Elixir Pill I am unaware of to rejuvenate you, so this could be very dangerous. Please let me take a look."

"Yes, Elder Matriarch, please trust my master's words. It's just a quick check and won't take too long!"

"I beg you, Elder Matriarch, if my teacher is not mistaken, your condition is quite dangerous!"

Hearing these words, everyone in the room became somewhat tense.

Seeing the hesitation on their faces, Shen Qiang laughed and said, "I've said it before, I can make the old madam lively and vigorous, sitting in the living room drinking tea, and if I said I will do it, then I certainly will. So, old madam, there's no need to be troubled, just let him check."

Upon hearing this, the people in the room breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, Shen Qiang's medical skill and Elixir Pills were too astonishing. Without Shen Qiang's consent, no one dared to let Doctor Hu examine the old madam now, because it would be foolish to anger Shen Qiang.

But Doctor Hu didn't care about that at this moment.

Seeing that everyone agreed,

he immediately began to take the old madam's pulse.

"The pulse is steady and forceful, the breath is long…" Doctor Hu's face gradually turned white, and then he said in shock, "Impossible, it doesn't make sense, the old madam was clearly terminally ill…"

Hearing this, the always composed Bai Shiyi, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Shen Qiang and said, "I heard before that you had an arrangement with Doctor Hu."

"Are you trying to use someone else's hand to kill?" Shen Qiang transmitted his voice to Bai Shiyi and said, "As the Bai Family Head, you could just tell him to get lost directly."

Bai Shiyi coldly glanced at Shen Qiang and transmitted back, "If I, as the dignified Family Head of the Bai Family, had no breadth of spirit, wouldn't that be laughable? I've been fed up with this old Hu for a long time, relying on his somewhat decent medical skill, always putting on airs in front of me."

"If it weren't for the fact that my family's health indeed requires a good doctor, I would have ended him with one strike already. Now, even though I already feel that you are a better choice than him, after all, he has been toiling here. "

"According to both sentiment and reason, there's no space for me, Bai Shiyi, to turn my face. Otherwise, do you really think that I, Bai Shiyi, have a heart too kind and soft to even dare to touch him?"

Hearing Bai Shiyi's transmitted voice, Shen Qiang indifferently raised his eyebrows and transmitted back, "Then remember, you owe me another favor."

Bai Shiyi's eyes showed displeasure.

Almost simultaneously, Shen Qiang indifferently lifted his eyebrows and said, "Doctor Hu, I've said before, if I can make the old madam lively and moving, able to sit in the living room drinking tea, then you, surnamed Hu, will have to stay three measures away from me when you see me, because in my sight, I don't allow the presence of quacks."

Hearing this, Doctor Hu stood up with an "Ao" sound and said loudly, "I am not a quack!"

Shen Qiang indifferently lifted his eyebrows and sneered, "If we had followed the treatment plan you provided before, the old madam should have already been dressed in her funeral clothes by now, but since I, Shen Qiang, intervened, the old madam is full of life, and she can live at least another sixty years. So, there is no need for you to be tough with me, leave immediately, I won't allow your presence where I am."

"Shen Qiang! Don't push people too far!" Doctor Hu shouted angrily.

Shen Qiang looked at him calmly and said indifferently, "One 'she' is thirty li, three 'she' is ninety li. I'll say it one last time, leave immediately, or else don't blame me for being unkind to you."

"You dare!" Doctor Hu shouted angrily, "I am a Divine Doctor respected by tens of thousands!"

Before he could finish speaking, the Bai Family members standing outside the door were already furious.

"Shut up! Divine Doctor Hu, there's a saying in the Cultivation World, 'honor the bet, accept the loss.' Yesterday, it was you who set the rule, saying you wouldn't allow quacks in your sight, and now Mr. Shen played this game with you, and it turned out that his medical skill is indeed better than yours. Now what are you yelling for? Can't take a loss?"

"Ha, compared to Mr. Shen's medical skill, Divine Doctor Hu, you might as well just change your name to Quack Hu."

"Exactly, still acting like a sore loser. Sheesh, where's that boastfulness when you laughed at Mr. Shen for being a chef? Really can't stand people like you."

"Laughing my teeth off here, Shen Qiang can refine Divine Grade Pill, can you? His Elixir Pills rejuvenate the old and add decades to life, can you? You still claim to be a Divine Doctor, compared with Shen Qiang, you are simply trash!"
