Actually, I couldn't stand Huang Yaoshi's arrogance. Moreover, the cost of his materials wasn't that high. I guessed the shares he mentioned were worth more than ten million.
Although I didn't have much contact with the Peng family, I felt that they weren't bad people. Their money didn't grow on trees, so they didn't need to be squeezed dry by Huang Yaoshi.
After listening to me, the father and son of the Peng family felt embarrassed, but their expressions didn't look good. It seemed that Huang Yaoshi was trying to swindle them. At least, the doctor was treating him conservatively. If he took the pill directly, not to mention the other side effects, just the heat in his liver would be enough to make Elder Peng suffer.
On the contrary, my analysis was as clear and logical as a professional alchemist. I simply crushed Huang Yaoshi.
Elder Peng felt lucky that he had just shown an anxious expression and didn't shout at me. If he had offended me, he could have just left in a huff. Not only did the Peng family have to give him 30% of their business shares, but the most important thing was that he had to keep taking the pill. It was really embarrassing. People in their seventies or eighties weren't suitable to do that kind of thing.
Don't be fooled by the fact that the gray-haired old men in Japanese movies often appeared in public and were full of vigor and energy. In fact, their real age might be in their forties or fifties. It was just that their hair turned white early. This also catered to the psychology of the audience.
"Kid, I'm giving you face, but you don't want it!
I'm being so sincere, yet you're still trying to act cool. It's outrageous! "Huang Yaoshi was panting with rage. Since Chen Haonan was standing next to him, he didn't panic.
"Forget it. Don't talk nonsense with him. Elder Peng, I'll tell you this. The art of alchemy is about control of the fire and subtlety. Even if he can tell me a thing or two, it doesn't mean that he has mastered the art!" Chen Haonan commented and then continued.
"Of course, my brother's pills still have room to be improved. However, he was too impatient and wanted to cure your illness. Carelessness and negligence are unavoidable. Just tell me, do you need his pills? If you don't, then there's no need to talk anymore. You can just count on Zhuang Feng to cure you."
Chen Haonan waved his hand. It seemed he didn't want Huang Yaoshi to continue arguing with me, so he simply let Elder Peng make the decision.
Elder Peng had to admit that Huang Yaoshi was a scheming fellow. His words made Elder Peng hesitate, and he neglected to pursue Huang Yaoshi's responsibility.
Elder Peng couldn't help but look at me. When he saw my indifferent expression, he became depressed. If I gave him a promise, he wouldn't need to hesitate.
Peng Haoran walked to Old Peng's side and whispered, "Dad, let's still count on the Little Divine Doctor. It's not that I can't bear to part with the money, but you can see the situation."
"Okay." After a brief hesitation, Elder Peng expressed his opinion.
Huang Yaoshi, who had a card up his sleeve, was now embarrassed. Wasn't he supposed to be the main character tonight?
How did I somehow steal the limelight?
"Good, good, good. Mister Peng, since you don't believe me, then we don't need to talk anymore. Brother Nan, let's go." Huang Yaoshi said in a flustered and exasperated manner. If it wasn't for Mister Peng's status, he would have already cursed him.
Thirty percent of the Peng family's shares fell into Huang Yaoshi's pocket, but it was all for naught. Moreover, I had repeatedly slapped his face. This kind of feeling could only be expressed in a song called "Cold".
I didn't have any intention of stopping him and teased him, "Go back and practice. I hope that the next time I see you, you will be able to show off your ability to eat a porcelain bottle."
"Hmph! Kid, don't think too highly of yourself. What's the point of having some professional knowledge? It's not something that can be considered elegant. If I didn't come to the Li family tonight, you wouldn't be able to see someone with my status in your entire life!" Huang Yaoshi curled his lips and said disapprovingly. He had a sense of superiority in his bones.
"Oh." I just replied and didn't want to waste my expression.
Chen Haonan bid farewell to the two elders, then left with Huang Yaoshi.
After they left, the Peng father and son were grateful to me.
"Young genius doctor, thank you very much. If you didn't come with us, not only would this old man have to suffer, but the Peng family would also have to take out thirty percent of their shares. Sigh, it seems that the Heavens still favor our Peng family." Elder Peng sighed.
"That's right. Dad, I told you not to be impulsive. Genius doctor Xiao Zhuang isn't the kind of person who acts on impulse."
Peng Haoran snappily said with a trace of reproach. He rarely spoke to Elder Peng like this, but his heart was filled with dissatisfaction. He was almost cheated by Huang Yaoshi. Once they reached an agreement, even if there was a small problem later on, he would think of a way to remedy it. After all, they were amateurs. If Huang Yaoshi justified himself, they would easily believe him.
"Yes, yes, yes. Your eyesight is good. With you supporting the Peng family, I have enjoyed a lot of good fortune these past few years." Elder Peng's head was like a chicken pecking rice. He didn't have the arrogance of a big shot.
"Dad, don't say that. I know that your body isn't good. Otherwise, this old man would have already gone crazy." Peng Haoran laughed.
Seeing the father and son chatting happily, I thought of my parents in Nan Yun. There was only one month left until the New Year. As long as I settled the matter with the Blood Devil, I would definitely go back to see them. They would be very happy if I brought my little wife along. However, who would I bring back with me? That would be a headache.
I held a pile of pill powder in my hand. Just as I was about to pour it into the dustbin, I retracted my hand and looked at it carefully. In the emerald green powder, there was a small amount of white substance. Although it wasn't pure white, it still aroused my suspicion. The smell of the pill was really strange. It made people feel inexplicably good after smelling it.
Then, I took a small sip. It melted in my mouth. It felt pretty good. At the same time, my taste buds transmitted a dangerous signal.
