Chapter 130: The Knees of a Guigu Descendant Are So Soft!

---

The audience's disgust…

The laughter of those two bastards…

All of it felt like a dagger stabbing into Xiao Chen's heart!

The pain was unbearable—so much so that he almost vomited blood!

He couldn't understand—this was supposed to be his moment of glory!

How did things turn out like this?!

Why had his legs suddenly stopped obeying him?!

This was too embarrassing!

He was the legendary genius doctor, Xiao Chen! The future number-one doctor of Yan Kingdom!

And yet, at this crucial moment, he had lost face!

Not only that, but he was being mocked by so many people?!

Xiao Chen clenched his fists and glared at Wang Siquan. "Don't talk nonsense! I wasn't kneeling to you! I just… I just lost my balance for a moment because my legs went numb! That's all!"

Wang Siquan raised an eyebrow. "Then stand up." He gestured toward him.

"Of course! I'll stand up right now!"

Xiao Chen braced himself, pushed off the ground, and forced himself to stand.

But before he could even steady himself—

Thud!

He dropped to his knees again!

Xiao Chen: "..."

"Hahahaha!" Ye Xingchen and Angkor burst into laughter, nearly choking from it.

The audience looked on with even more disgust.

"Damn! He stood up just to kneel again?"

"That knee movement was way too smooth!"

"I swear, his knees are so soft!"

"If you're going to kneel, at least come up with a better excuse!"

"Does he think we're idiots?!"

Xiao Chen: Pfft!

Wang Siquan crossed his arms. "Xiao Chen, what's the meaning of this? Don't tell me you're kneeling on behalf of another group of people?"

The doctors standing nearby hurriedly shook their heads.

"No, no, no! Dr. Wang, don't misunderstand! He has nothing to do with us!"

"I'd never kneel like that! I still have my pride!"

Xiao Chen: Pfft!

Wang Siquan sighed. "Listen, Xiao Chen, if you must kneel, at least do it for yourself. Don't drag other people into it! I might be arrogant, but I have principles!"

Xiao Chen: Pfft!

"No! My legs are just weak! That's why I fell again!" Xiao Chen snapped.

"Then stand up again."

"Fine! Watch me!"

Xiao Chen took a deep breath, steadied himself, and—

Thud!

Kneeling. Again.

This time, he didn't even hesitate!

Xiao Chen: "..."

"Hahahaha! I can't breathe! His knees are completely useless!" Ye Xingchen and Angkor were clutching their stomachs.

The audience groaned.

"He's still trying to make excuses?"

"As soon as he stood up, he dropped again!"

"At this point, why even bother standing?"

"This guy's ancestors probably weren't this devout!"

"This is just embarrassing!"

Xiao Chen: Pfft!

Wang Siquan sighed deeply. "Xiao Chen, I'm begging you. Please stop kneeling! I feel secondhand embarrassment just watching this!"

Xiao Chen, furious, pulled out two silver needles and quickly inserted them into his legs. "There! I've fixed my nerves. This time, I won't kneel again!"

He took a deep breath.

Braced himself.

Thud!

Kneeling.

Again.

Xiao Chen: "..."

"Hahahaha!" Ye Xingchen and Angkor were howling with laughter.

Wang Siquan pinched the bridge of his nose. "Okay, what's your excuse this time?"

"My acupuncture failed! My legs still feel weak! Help me up!" Xiao Chen gritted his teeth.

Wang Siquan hesitated. "Are you sure this isn't some weird trick? Just so you can say I helped you?"

Xiao Chen snapped, "I swear on my honor as a Guigu disciple! I won't say anything like that!"

"Fine, then."

Wang Siquan reached out and helped him stand.

Xiao Chen took two shaky steps.

Wang Siquan let go.

Thud!

Kneeling.

Again.

Xiao Chen: "..."

Ye Xingchen and Angkor were rolling on the floor, gasping for breath from laughing too hard.

"Lift me up again!"

"Alright!"

The process repeated.

Every time Wang Siquan held him, Xiao Chen could stand.

The moment he let go—

Thud!

Kneeling.

Again.

After several cycles of this, Wang Siquan finally lost it.

"Xiao Chen, enough! How many times do you plan to do this?! Are you doing this on purpose just to mess with me?!"

Xiao Chen was furious. "Forget it! I'll do it myself!"

"Good! Show some spine!"

"But bring me a chair first."

Wang Siquan: "..."

After placing a chair next to him, Xiao Chen grabbed the armrests and slowly tried to sit down.

But his knees were too soft—

He missed the chair entirely.

Boom!

This time, he fell face-first onto the floor.

The impact shook the entire room.

Xiao Chen didn't even move.

A moment of silence.

Then—

"AAAAAHHHHH!!!"

The scream was heart-wrenching!

"Damn! He still has a broken rib—did it just break again?!"

"If it wasn't broken before, it definitely is now!"

"Listen to that scream—he's done for!"

"Someone, get a doctor!"

Fortunately, they were already surrounded by doctors.

Xiao Chen was quickly lifted onto a stretcher for treatment.

After a quick examination, the verdict was clear—

His rib had definitely broken again.

The wound had reopened. The bone had to be reset and rebandaged.

And due to the severe pain, anesthesia was required.

But by then, Xiao Chen had already fainted from the sheer agony.

---

When he woke up…

He was back in his familiar hospital bed.

Familiar white bandages.

Familiar white ceiling.

And that same hateful face sitting beside him.

Lin Beifan.

Why was this guy always around whenever something bad happened?!

It was cursed!

Lin Beifan smirked. "The doctor says your rib is broken. Again. This is the third time, and it's gotten worse. You'll need at least three to four months of recovery."

Xiao Chen frowned. "Isn't there still medicine from Yaowang Hospital? Why would it take so long?"

Lin Beifan chuckled. "Oh, you forgot? They had to remove the medicine when they reset your rib. Once the medicine is removed, its effectiveness plummets."

Xiao Chen gritted his teeth. "Then just buy more! I'll pay you back later!"

Lin Beifan shook his head. "I tried. They won't sell it to you anymore."

Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed. "Why not?!"

Lin Beifan shrugged. "Well, they said you were the great descendant of Guigu, here to ruin their reputation. So why should they help you?"

Xiao Chen: "..."

Lin Beifan patted his shoulder. "Anyway, don't stress too much. The normal medicine works too, just a little slower. Now, I'm off to check on Brother Ye."

And with that, he left the room.

Xiao Chen just lay there, staring at the ceiling.

His mind blank.

His pride shattered.

This was the worst day of his life.
