Chapter 1653: Big News

The soldier roared while waving his hands, "Absolutely not! I am very healthy! If you don't leave now, I will arrest you..." The soldier trailed off when he spotted someone whom he greeted with a smile, "Bro Huo! Why are you here? Do you need anything? You could've just given the word, and I would've gone to see you!"

The fierce manner had seemingly melted away and was replaced by a puppy-like geniality.

Chen Xiaobei could tell that this person's ranking was far above the bearded soldier's!

Chen Xiaobei turned to look and saw that it was a man in his early thirties, sporting a special combat uniform covered in dust and crusted blood, and carrying a very modern-looking steel bow on his back.

You could really tell that the planet was about to break into battle at any moment. Everyone was armed at all times, ever ready to fight.

However, the strange thing was that there were no arrows with the man's bow.

"I thought I heard the words Traditional Chinese doctor. Did I hear correctly?" Bro Huo glanced casually at Chen Xiaobei.

The bearded soldier quickly explained, "Bro Huo! Please do not be mistaken! It's just this pretentious kid claiming to be a Traditional Chinese doctor! Not even an idiot would believe his stupid claims! I was just about to apprehend him!"

"Wait!" Bro Huo looked at Chen Xiaobei again. "You insist on saying stupid words that even an idiot wouldn't believe - so you're either crazy in the head or... you really are what you say you are!"

Chen Xiaobei shrugged. "As proof, I can treat one of you!"

"Alright! Since you're so confident, tell me what kind of illness do I have!" Bro Huo put out his left hand. "Doctor, read my vitals!"

The bearded soldier cried, "Bro Huo! Why are you taking this so seriously! This kid is a liar!"

"I don't need to check your vitals!" Chen Xiaobei shrugged again.

"See! See! See! That's what I meant!" The bearded soldier's voice was dripping with contempt. "What kind of doctor doesn't do that? This kid has lost his mind and it seems to be a pretty severe mental condition!"

"Your problem is in your lungs!" Instead of defending himself, Chen Xiaobei looked at Bro Huo and said, "Less than half a month ago, you were involved in a fight in which you were hit in the chest with an Ice Attribute Ethereal Force. The cold Yin Qi permeated your lungs, and have caused you to have breathing difficulties. You would go into a coughing fit come evening!"

"Th... That that..." Both Bro Huo and bearded soldier were too stunned to speak or move.

"So? Was I wrong?" Chen Xiaobei smiled. Even though he was asking them for confirmation, there was an unmistakable confidence in his eyes!

"No... Nonono... Not wrong..." Bro Huo gulped. "Everything you diagnosed, the time, reason and symptoms are all accurate! I've been really tortured by the coughing at night. I haven't had a good sleep for days now!"

"Is that enough to prove that I'm a Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor?" Chen Xiaobei asked.

Bro Huo nodded, and lowered his voice. "Yes. But I want to know how my illness can be cured. How long will it take?"

"That's very simple!" Chen Xiaobei took out two Spiritual Medicine from his Infinite Space Ring, took a portion from each, rubbed them together and then offered it to Bro Huo. "Eat this, and then wield your Ethereal Force, expel the cold Qi out of your body, and you'll be healed!"

"Really? So simple?" Bro Huo accepted the medicine, and had an incredibly surprised look on his face.

"Th... That's a bit too exaggerated..." The bearded soldier was still in shock after Chen Xiaobei made the diagnosis. Hearing about the simple cure threw him off completely.

Chen Xiaobei shrugged. "With the right diagnosis and medicine, your illness will be gone before you even realize it. There's really nothing to exaggerate about that!"

"Then... Then I'll give it a try..."

Bro Huo immediately did as Chen Xiaobei had instructed.

He swallowed the herbal medicine, and then began to wield his Ethereal Force.

Beardy watched Bro Huo with curiosity.

"Fuuuuh..."

In a short period of two minutes, Bro Huo exhaled, and released a mouthful of foul qi. His qi looked much better as he shouted at Chen Xiaobei, "You are not a good doctor! You are definitely not a doctor!"

"Bro Huo? What is it? Did the medicine not work? Are you alright?" The bearded soldier asked anxiously.

"Get out of my way!" Bro Huo shoved the soldier aside and praised, "You are a Divine Doctor! Compared to you, all those legendary doctors are weak!"

"Divine... Divine Doctor..." The bearded soldier's jaw fell.

"Of course he's a Divine Doctor! Definitely a Divine Doctor!" Bro Huo said admiringly. "I am cured! Completely cured! I can breathe without a problem! I don't feel a single bout of cold qi inside me! Such marvellous medical skills could only come from a Divine Doctor!"

Chen Xiaobei shrugged. "You're too kind, Bro Huo. I am just another doctor looking to earn enough to feed myself in Saint Duke's capital planet. Can I go through the portal?"

Bro Huo trembled. "Good heavens! Don't call be Bro Huo! I am not worthy! You can just call me Little Huo!"

"Okay, Little Huo, can I go through the portal? I am in a hurry!" Chen Xiaobei said.

Bro Huo answered, "It won't be a problem here on my side. But recently, there has been an isolated situation. The portal in capital planet had been sealed. To get there, I have to report to my superiors first. You can only go after permission is given!"

"Report to your superiors?" Chen Xiaobei frowned. "You have just witnessed that I am a real Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor. I am in no way associated with your enemies. Can you make an exception?"

"Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors are extremely rare. Our enemy will never send a Divine Doctor like you to Saint Duke..." Bro Huo did not sound hopeful. "But it's useless even if I know that... This really is a very sensitive time period... I don't even dare do anything that is against the law, much less letting you go secretly!"

Chen Xiaobei furrowed his brows. He was in already in a pinch for time. With all the reporting and the waiting for approval, who knew how many days it would take.

These three months was nothing to joke about!

Once the time limit was exceeded, Little Fox would be in danger, and Wei Zhonglie might have returned to Greenhill from Tian Zhing. Then, Bai Linsu and the others would be in danger too.

He could not afford any delays!

"Could you tell me what this special situation is?" Chen Xiaobei asked.

"Of course, everyone in Saint Duke knows this!" Bro Huo said. "The real Saint Duke Princess has returned from Earth. There is going to be a grand martial arts contest to recruit the best groom!"

"The real Princess? Finding a groom through a martial arts contest?" Chen Xiaobei repeated while sounding surprised.
