“Lin…
Lin Han!”
“How could it be him?!”
The moment they saw Lin Han walk in!
WHOOSH!
Everyone from the Zhao, Sun, and Ye Families shot to their feet, their eyes wide as saucers, as if they had seen a ghost!
They simply couldn’t believe that the legendary Divine Physician Lin, praised to the heavens, was actually this stray dog!
But Lin Han didn’t even spare them a glance.
He took Xian’er’s delicate hand and slowly walked onto the grand platform!
“Everyone, please quiet down!”
Just then, up on the platform, Old Master Tang’s face was practically blooming with smiles.
Brimming with pride, he addressed the many guests:
“Allow me to make an introduction!”
“This is my Tang Family’s magnificent son-in-law—Lin Han!”
“And he will also be the future leader of the Tang Family!”
What!
With that one sentence, the entire hall was thrown into an uproar!
The future leader of the Tang Family!
Doesn’t that make him the next Patriarch of the Tang Family?
Heavens, letting an outsider take control of the Tang Family—has Old Master Tang gone mad?
Below the stage, all the guests’ gazes toward Lin Han were now filled with flattery and fervor.
One by one, they resolved to get on Lin Han’s good side, no matter what.
Meanwhile, the members of the Zhao, Sun, and Ye Families were so furious their faces turned ashen!
“Senile!
Father has really gone senile!” Tang Ren almost coughed up a mouthful of old blood!
He was the eldest son of the Tang Family; the family should have been his to inherit!
How could he stand by and watch as Lin Han snatched it all away?
“Old Master Tang, this junior has heard that a few days ago, this Lin Han severely injured you!”
“Why would you still marry Miss Xian’er to him?
And even give him the Tang Family?”
“Could it be…
that he’s threatening you?”
Gao Jianxiang couldn’t hold back any longer.
He shot to his feet and demanded an answer!
In an instant, all eyes snapped to Old Master Tang!
They had also clearly heard the rumors about Old Master Tang being injured at the airport, but they never imagined the culprit would be this Lin Han!
Suddenly, doubt, confusion, and mockery rippled through the crowd in hushed murmurs, all of them clearly questioning the old master’s decision!
However, Old Master Tang simply smiled faintly.
“You have all surely misunderstood!
That day at the airport, Lin Han didn’t injure me—he healed me!”
What!
The entire hall fell completely silent!
But Old Master Tang continued:
“This old man has suffered from an old injury for years.
My meridians were blocked, and I had reached the end of my rope, my life’s oil nearly spent!”
“But who would have thought?
With his miraculous healing touch, Lin Han cleared all of my blocked meridians with a single palm strike!”
“He saved my life!”
The crowd erupted in an uproar!
Hearing this, the people below finally understood!
So, Old Master Tang’s frantic search for Lin Han hadn’t been for revenge, but…
At that moment, Mrs.
Ye felt her own face burn with a fiery sting!
If she hadn’t torn up the marriage contract, if she hadn’t driven Lin Han away!
Then she would have been cured long ago, not suffering a fate worse than death now!
“How could this be?
That Lin Han actually knows medicine?”
Ye Qing’s expression was also incredibly complicated!
She never dreamed that the loser and swindler she took him for was not only a Divine Physician but also the magnificent son-in-law of the Tang Family!
‘Did I…
Did I really misjudge him?’
Ye Qing looked at Lin Han’s handsome face, a bitter feeling swelling in her heart!
CLACK CLACK CLACK!
Just then, two figures—one old, one young—walked onto the grand platform.
It was Divine Physician Su and Zhang Lingfeng!
“Your disciple, Su Mao, congratulates Master and Mistress on your joyous engagement!”
With that, Divine Physician Su knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed twice to Lin Han and Xian’er with two loud THUDS!
But when he saw his own disciple, Zhang Lingfeng, just standing there in a daze,
Divine Physician Su quickly barked:
“Lingfeng, what are you standing there gawking for?
Hurry up and kneel to pay respects to your Grandmaster!”
Grandmaster?
The corner of Zhang Lingfeng’s mouth twitched violently, his face filled with shame!
He especially remembered how, back at the Ye Family’s home, he had questioned the man’s medical skills and even suspected he was just a fraud!
Zhang Lingfeng wished he could find a hole in the ground and crawl into it!
THUMP!
“Grand-disciple Zhang Lingfeng congratulates Grandmaster on your joyous engagement!”
Hearing this, Lin Han just smiled faintly.
Although he hadn’t agreed to take Su Mao as a disciple, he greatly admired the man’s respectful attitude and his obsession with medicine.
“Get up.”
“For your master’s sake, come find me another day, and I will teach you the Life-taking Nine Needles!”
These words instantly invigorated Zhang Lingfeng!
The Life-taking Nine Needles?
‘Isn’t that the miraculous acupuncture technique my master learned under Lin Han’s guidance?’
Overjoyed, Zhang Lingfeng immediately kowtowed several more times—THUD, THUD, THUD—and said fervently:
“Thank you, Grandmaster!”
After Divine Physician Su and his disciple walked off the platform, the other guests began to come forward one by one to offer their congratulations.
These people were all elites of Jiang City, yet before Lin Han, every single one of them was humble and respectful to the extreme:
“Divine Physician Lin, congratulations on your engagement!
This Centennial Ginseng is but a small token of my respect.”
“Mr.
Lin, I’ve long heard of your great name!
This is a two-hundred-year-old Lingzhi.
Please accept it!”
“…”
One gift after another was presented!
One guest after another offered their blessings!
And soon, it was the Ye Family’s turn.
At this moment, Mrs.
But facing Lin Han, whom she had disdained in every possible way, Mrs.
Ye still couldn’t let go of her pride.
“Lin…
Lin Han!
This old woman admits that I underestimated you before!”
“But now that you’re engaged to Miss Xian’er, there is no more enmity between us!”
“Take these gifts.
My illness…
you need to cure it for me!”
Her tone carried a clear hint of a command!
This instantly made Lin Han let out a cold laugh.
“I’m not accepting your gifts!”
“And I’m not treating your illness!”
What!
In an instant, Mrs.
Ye’s expression changed completely!
She never imagined that after she, an elder, had already humbled herself to ask for his treatment, this brat would be so utterly disrespectful!
“You, surnamed Lin…
You’re shameless!” Mrs.
Ye trembled with rage.
Beside her, Ye Qing was also furious.
“Lin Han, my grandmother has already admitted she was wrong!
What right do you have to refuse to treat her?”
Gao Jianxiang added with a cold sneer:
“Surnamed Lin, don’t think you can soar to the heavens just because you’ve latched onto the Tang Family!”
“Let me tell you, asking you to treat her is giving you face!
Don’t be so shameless!”
The three of them sang the same tune, one after the other.
It almost made Lin Han laugh in anger!
He had never met people so utterly shameless.
“You want me to treat her?
Fine!”
“All of you from the Ye Family…
kneel before me!”
Humiliation!
At this moment, the members of the Ye Family were filled with extreme resentment!
They couldn’t believe this stray dog dared to humiliate their Ye Family in front of so many people!
“Good!
Very good, Lin Han!”
“We’ll see about this!”
Mrs.
Ye shot Lin Han a venomous glare before leading the Ye Family members off the platform.
But just as they were about to leave!
BANG!!!
The doors to the entire banquet hall were violently kicked open from the outside!
And then!
WHOOSH!
A group of fully armed Patrol officers stormed in menacingly!
“Where is Lin Han?”
“Get your ass out here!”
