High Martial Arts: Integrating with Super AI, Unrivaled and Unstoppable!
Chapter 39: The Jiang Family Apologizes!
Inside the Xinyue Tea Pavilion.
Chen Hui frowned slightly, looked up and gazed outside, his expression tense.
"Brother Xuan, what happened?"
Lin Banxia's face tightened as she looked out the window at the dense traffic.
"I don't know, there were a lot of cars."
Lu Xingyao, however, remained oblivious to everything around her, focusing solely on eating.
She took small bites of the pastry, the soft chewing sounds clearly audible, quietly enjoying her meal, oblivious to all the turmoil outside.
Lu Duan picked up his teacup, took a sip, and looked calm and composed.
"Don't worry about it."
The plates on the table were quickly emptied. She turned to the side, gently tugging at Lu Xuan's clothes with her small hand, her eyes bright and expectant as she looked at him.
Lu Xuan immediately understood what he was thinking and turned to the waiter to speak:
"Miss, one large portion of each of the following: Crystal Shrimp Dumplings, Salted Egg Yolk Lava Buns, Thousand-Layer Coconut Cake, Steamed Pork Ribs with Taro, and Golden Crispy Egg Tarts."
Chen Hui thought to himself that the five large portions of dim sum were quite generous and enough for several people to share.
But the next second, Lu Xingyao gently shook her head and playfully made a "V" sign at everyone.
Lu Xuan instantly understood, his tone calm and composed:
"Understood, double it all."
The moment the words left his mouth, Chen Hui and Lin Banxia's pupils suddenly contracted, their bodies stiffened abruptly, and their faces were filled with astonishment.
Chen Hui blurted out in shock:
"Brother Xuan... five portions suddenly become ten? And large portions at that? Are you serious?"
Lin Banxia's eyes were filled with disbelief; she never imagined that the little girl had such an amazing appetite.
Upon hearing the sound, the waiter stepped forward, his face showing hesitation as he softly reminded:
"Sir, are you sure? It's a large portion, a lot! Can all of you finish it?"
Lu Xuan spoke calmly:
"It's okay, she can finish it."
Before long, baskets of steaming pastries were served one after another.
Layer upon layer, piled up into a small, full mountain, covering the entire tabletop, the steam carrying a fragrant aroma wafting towards you.
The gazes of everyone present fell upon him, and they were once again stunned, their faces filled with shock.
"Wow, so many?"
"Wow! This is enough for me to eat for three days!"
"Good heavens, this is the first time I've ever seen a customer order so many desserts! Will they be able to finish them?"
Upon seeing the table laden with delicious food, Lu Xingyao's eyes lit up, her eyebrows arched, and her smile was sweet and gentle as she lowered her head to enjoy the meal.
Lin Banxia came to her senses and gently and carefully instructed:
"Little sister, eat slowly, don't choke."
Chen Hui stared blankly at the scene before him, his face full of amazement as he jokingly said:
"Brother Xuan, your sister has such an appetite! She'd be an absolute sensation if she started a mukbang!"
Lu Xuan smiled slightly:
"That's right!"
Outside the Xinyue Tea Pavilion.
The Jiang family's drivers and bodyguards huddled together, watching the spectacle with unwavering confidence, whispering amongst themselves.
"Why has the patriarch come in person? What's going on?"
"I heard they're looking for a young man named Lu Xuan!"
"Lu Xuan caused a huge scene at Jiangchao Mingyue, making the Jiang family lose face."
"They're definitely coming to hold him accountable and deal with him."
"Anyone who dares to underestimate the Jiang family is doomed this time."
"He needs to be taught a lesson he shouldn't have, so he'll realize who's in charge in Jiangling!"
"Just wait and see him kneel down and beg for mercy!"
Everyone was convinced that Jiang Qingtian had come to settle scores, their faces full of smugness, quietly waiting for Lu Xuan to fall into misery and embarrassment.
Passersby who overheard the conversation felt a pang of sympathy and lowered their voices.
"Lu Xuan? Is that the young miracle doctor who saved Old Master Xie's life?"
"The Jiang family is everywhere outside; he probably won't be able to escape."
"So what if he's got some skills and medical expertise? This time he's probably completely finished."
"I don't think so. Old Master Jiang is also seriously ill. What if he's here seeking medical treatment?"
"Impossible! I've heard that Old Master Xie was cured by the legendary doctor from Huayang!"
Inside the tea pavilion, Lu Xuan sat by the window, his fingertips lightly touching the warm cup.
A misty haze obscured her eyes and brows, giving her an aloof and detached air.
Lin Banxia spoke softly, her tone tinged with unease:
"Brother Lu Xuan, I saw it clearly now, that's the Jiang family's license plate. I hope these Jiang family members won't come looking for trouble with us."
Chen Hui quickly spoke up:
"Brother Xuan, what should we do? Perhaps we should resort to the thirty-six stratagems and run away!"
Lu Xingyao continued to eat with her head down, the soft chewing sounds filling the air, completely oblivious to the commotion outside the door.
"Smack...smack...smack..."
Lu Xuan's expression remained completely unchanged, his eyelids not even lifting, as he calmly uttered:
"It's nothing."
The front door of the Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly opened.
Jiang Qingtian quickly got out of the car, holding his daughter, whose face was covered in tears, in his arms.
The once dignified and imposing head of the Jiang family now looked anxious, his clothes slightly disheveled, and he had completely lost any of his accusatory air.
He walked straight up to Lu Xuan, ignoring all the gazes around him, bowed deeply, and his earnest voice echoed throughout the entire street:
"Jiang Qingtian of the Jiang family, along with his junior Jiang Qilin, have come to apologize and earnestly request Physician Lu Xuan to save my father's life."
Jiang's men froze on the spot, their smug expressions vanished instantly, their pupils contracted sharply, and the murmurs around them abruptly ceased.
Jiang Qingtian abruptly turned his head, a chill emanating from him, his eyes sharp and piercing as he sternly rebuked:
"Jiang Qilin, kneel down! Apologize to Doctor Lu!"
Jiang Qilin's face flushed red, his whole body tense, filled with shock and anger, he managed to utter only one word:
"I!"
As the eldest son of the Jiang family, Jiang Qilin was a prominent figure in Jiangling City.
He found it hard to accept that his elders would make him kneel down and apologize to an unknown nobody.
Jiang Qingtian's aura suddenly erupted, enveloping the entire area in oppressive force. He took a step forward and uttered a single, chilling word, leaving no room for negotiation:
"kneel--!!"
"thump--!!"
Jiang Qilin's knee slammed heavily onto the ground, the dull thud clear and jarring.
Jiang Qilin, the eldest grandson of the Jiang family, knelt down on the ground under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
In an instant, the entire arena fell into dead silence.
The Jiang family's entourage were pale, their backs were soaked in cold sweat, and their legs were weak and trembling uncontrollably.
The passersby who had been waiting to see the joke fall apart had their worldviews completely shattered, and they even began to breathe more quietly.
The onlookers were stunned, their voices trembling with shock:
"Holy crap, the Jiang family patriarch... he's actually here to ask for a favor?"
"The eldest son of the Jiang family knelt down on the spot! My God, what's going on?"
"Just who is Lu Xuan? Why is the Jiang family so humble?"
"Is his medical skill really that amazing? Even the head of the Jiang family had to beg him?"
"Yes, is his medical skill better than all the legendary doctors?"
Lu Xuan remained seated, his expression calm and indifferent, his eyes showing no emotion, and he did not glance at the two of them once.
Chen Hui was shocked and cried out:
"Holy crap, the Jiang family head actually bowed down to Brother Xuan!"
Lin Banxia covered her mouth in surprise, and it took her a while to realize what was happening:
"So they didn't come to cause us trouble; they came seeking medical help."
Jiang Xingwan stepped down from her father's arms, walked slowly to Lu Xuan, her eyes red-rimmed as she looked up at him, her small hands gently clutching the hem of his clothes, pleading weakly:
"Uncle Doctor Lu, please save my grandfather. I don't want to be without him."
I promise I'll behave from now on, please save him.
At this moment, a slight stirring rose in Lu Xuan's heart, his fingertips trembled slightly, and his usually cold and aloof expression softened a little.
Jiang Qingtian bowed deeply again, almost at a ninety-degree angle, in a solemn salute:
"Divine Physician Lu Xuan, I beg you to save my father. If you can save him, the Jiang family will offer you all the wealth, power, property, and beautiful women we desire."
Jiang Qilin bowed deeply and kowtowed repeatedly, his forehead flushed red, his expression one of resentment and humility:
"Miracle doctor, I know I was wrong. I was blind to your abilities. I beg you to save my grandfather."
Lu Xuan gently shook his head, his tone calm and even:
"It has nothing to do with me."
"uncle……"
Jiang Xingwan clutched the hem of her clothes, her eyes red and she sobbed softly, her body trembling slightly.
Seeing this, Lu Xingyao gently tugged at Lu Xuan's sleeve and quietly looked up at him.
Lu Xuan instantly understood her intentions.
