Chapter 10: Young Master Wuque Was Amazing!

There really… was a worm in his brain, and… it was so long!?

Next, Wuque washed Shen Gong’ao’s brain with pure salt water and drained the fluid out.

Then, he used a special hook needle to suture the wound in Shen Gong’ao’s dura mater.

Finally, he stitched up Shen Gong’ao’s scalp and bandaged it.

“Boil one packet of these herbs each day. Drink it three times. It can prevent the wound from festering,” Wuque said. “The treatment is finished.”

Hearing that Wuque had finished the treatment.

Shen Gong’ao suddenly let out a fierce roar.

Then, he gasped for breath heavily.

The whole process just now was way too painful.

Right after that…

He instinctively tried to get up, pushing with his right hand and using both legs.

So, he sat up abruptly.

And then…

He was completely stunned.

He couldn’t help but raise his right hand.

It was still numb and not very controllable.

But at least it could move and had some sensation now.

He suddenly focused his Internal Energy, and it flowed smoothly. He patted his right leg, and it wasn’t completely numb anymore.

Even his right leg could exert a little force now.

Immediately, he was overjoyed!

His entire right leg had been paralyzed for several days. Just earlier, his right hand had also lost all sensation and became completely immobile.

But now…

Sensation had returned, and he could use his strength.

Wuque said calmly, “This sparganum was too long. It pressed on some nerves in the left side of your brain, paralyzing the right half of your body. Although the worm has been pulled out, your brain nerves are somewhat damaged. It will take some time to fully recover.”

Shen Gong’ao gritted his teeth and stood up directly.

Then, he paced around the room. Although he limped a little, his right leg had regained its ability to move.

Everyone around was also stunned, looking at all this in disbelief.

This… this was too incredible.

The number one divine physician in the south, Lin Daomiao, had said this was an incurable disease, impossible to treat. Yet, Young Master Shen Wuque completely cured it in less than half an hour.

And this treatment method was truly something never seen or heard of before.

After eight years apart, the Third Young Master had actually learned such brilliant medical skills outside?!

These medical skills were so amazing, it was simply unbelievable.

At once, three physicians stepped forward and bowed, saying, “Third Young Master, you truly are a divine physician! We three admire you wholeheartedly.”

Immediately, another physician kowtowed and said, “Third Young Master, thank you for saving our lives. From now on, you are our reborn parent.”

This was no exaggeration; if Shen Gong’ao hadn’t been cured, these three doctors were certainly doomed.

Mu Hongyu was trembling with excitement, her inner joy beyond words.

Her husband was cured!

Her pillar of support would not collapse.

The Shen Gong Family’s crisis was directly resolved.

Wonderful, wonderful!

And the one who saved everything turned out to be the former disgrace of the Shen Gong Clan.

Mu Hongyu stepped forward, hugged Wuque tightly, and said shakily, “Wuque, thank you, thank you!”

Only then did tears flow down her face.

Then, she held Wuque’s face and said, “You’ve suffered all these years outside.”

At that moment, a voice came from outside again.

“Master, Lord Fu Jianzhi has come to visit. He brought three physicians and is very insistent. It’s difficult for us to stop him.”

Shen Gong’ao said coldly, “He’s finally made his move. He wants to confirm whether I’m truly paralyzed or not!”

Before this, many people had come to visit—the Prefect of Nanhai Commandery, the Dean of Zhenhai Academy, and others—but their status wasn’t high enough to force their way in.

Fu Jianzhi, the Governor of Tianshui Province, had not appeared until now. This time, he must be certain that Shen Gong’ao was paralyzed and completely incurable, so he was forcing his way into the Marquis’s Manor.

Once it was confirmed that Shen Gong’ao was completely paralyzed and untreatable, the attacks from the surrounding nobles would come like a tide, directly knocking the Shen Gong Family down and completely carving up their foundation.

No other reason!

Over the years, Shen Gong’ao had become too prominent, too dazzling, and had offended too many people.

Moreover, a common man’s crime is having a piece of jade—a full fifteen thousand square kilometers of territory, who wouldn’t covet it?

Most crucially, the Shen Gong Family were not old, established nobles but assimilated foreigners without deep roots.

As soon as it was confirmed that Shen Gong’ao was paralyzed and incurable, the signal to attack would be given.

Attacks from both military and political fronts.

…

After all, Fu Jianzhi was the Governor of Tianshui Province, a high-ranking official of the Empire.

His presence was imposing, and he was forcing his way in under the pretext of helping treat Shen Gong’ao, making him impossible to stop.

“Bang!” The door was pushed open forcefully.

Fu Jianzhi walked in.

Then, he was completely stunned.

Because Shen Gong’ao stood perfectly intact in the hall, wearing a majestic Marquis’s python robe and a golden crown.

A powerful aura emanated from his entire body.

What was going on?

According to his intelligence, Shen Gong’ao was completely paralyzed and incurable.

The number one divine physician in the south, Lin Daomiao, couldn’t treat him and had just left.

That was a Grandmaster from the Tianshui Academy of Medicine. If even he couldn’t cure the illness, it must be hopeless.

So… Fu Jianzhi had decided to force his way into the Marquis’s Manor, because many factions were waiting for his signal.

Many political resources were already prepared.

Now, Shen Gong’ao was standing here completely unharmed?

How was this possible?

No, he must be pretending.

Because he was standing completely still.

But at that moment, Shen Gong’ao strode forward with great vigor and said, “Brother Fu, what brings you here?”

Immediately, Fu Jianzhi’s heart skipped a beat.

Shen Gong’ao was walking, and he even cupped his hands in greeting.

He wasn’t paralyzed at all; he strode powerfully with a commanding presence.

Fu Jianzhi stepped forward and hugged Shen Gong’ao, saying, “Brother Shen Gong, you scared me to death, you really scared this old brother of yours. Do you know what rumors are spreading outside? I couldn’t hold back anymore, so I brought three famous physicians to check on you. I even forced my way into your Marquis’s Manor. Please don’t blame me.”

Shen Gong’ao said, “Not at all. I’m nothing but grateful for Brother Jianzhi’s good intentions.”

Fu Jianzhi said, “You three, hurry up and examine the Lord Marquis’s body.”

Shen Gong’ao spread his arms and said, “I trouble you!”

The three physicians brought by Fu Jianzhi stepped forward and carefully examined Shen Gong’ao’s body.

After quite a while, the three physicians said tremblingly, “Lord Marquis, you are very… very healthy.”

Fu Jianzhi was stunned. How could he be very healthy? It was one hundred percent confirmed earlier that half his body was paralyzed!

Lin Daomiao couldn’t treat it. Even if a deity descended to treat Shen Gong’ao, it wouldn’t be this fast, right? Such a serious illness, even if treatable, would take a year or half a year, right?

Shen Gong’ao said, “Is Brother Fu reassured now?”

Fu Jianzhi patted his chest and said, “My heart can finally settle back down now. Brother Shen Gong, you mustn’t be so frightening in the future. Your older brother has a weak constitution; I can’t withstand several such scares from you.”

Then, the two chatted happily arm in arm.

Next, Fu Jianzhi saw Wuque and was slightly taken aback. “Nephew, you are here too? Good, good, good. I always said, what quarrel between father and son lasts overnight? Stay and have a meal with us, let’s have a good chat.”

Wuque lifted his eyes, glanced at the two of them, didn’t answer a single word, appearing especially aloof and proud.

Then, he cupped his hands toward them and said, “Farewell!”

Having said that, he picked up his box and directly strode away.
