The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 964

The two of them turned around and swaggered away.

The shopkeeper stared at their retreating figures, then froze on the spot, unsure of what to do.

Meanwhile, the guests nearby continued to discuss the matter.

"What just happened was an accident. Maybe they brought some poisonous food, which is why this happened."

After realizing what had happened, the shopkeeper explained to his customers.

After Xu Tian and Li Zhi had walked quite a distance from the inn, they burst into laughter.

“Master, you didn’t see the shopkeeper’s face at the time; he turned deathly pale instantly.”

Li Zhi couldn't suppress his smile.

Xu Tian nodded. He said that even if he didn't see it, he could tell from the shopkeeper's voice that the shopkeeper was terrified.

"Who told him to try to exploit us? He thought we were outsiders and easy to bully."

Xu Tian spoke in a cold and indifferent voice.

They had only gone a short distance when Li Zhi felt a sharp pain in his body.

He then fainted.

Xu Tianshui immediately helped him up.

"Li Zhi!"

He called out once but there was no response. He called out again but still no response, so he quickly picked up Li Zhi and ran towards the clinic.

Xu Tian thought that Li Zhi's old illness had relapsed. His old illness would flare up every once in a while, and when it did, he would feel as if he had lost his soul.

Xu Tian carried Li Zhi to the clinic, where they happened to encounter the same doctor from before.

The doctor only gave them a cursory glance.

After treating Li Zhi, the doctor said, "This illness seems very difficult to treat!"

His tone sounded sarcastic.

Its eyes were blinking, which looked very strange.

Xu Tian never expected that the people here were like this.

They had just been ripped off by the innkeeper, and now the doctor was trying to extort them even more.

Xu Tian felt that they were having a run of bad luck today.

I never imagined I'd end up in a place like this.

Li Zhi had already woken up, but after hearing the doctor's words, he pretended to be dead.

As soon as Xu Tian saw Li Zhi, he grabbed the doctor by the neck.

"What's going on?"

The doctor, unsure of what had happened, quickly knelt down to examine the person who had fallen to the ground.

But after a long time, no problem was found.

“As a doctor, how dare you treat human life so lightly? I’m going to arrest you and report you to the authorities right now.”

Upon hearing Xu Tian's words, the doctor exclaimed, "This is terrible!"

If he is really arrested and taken to the authorities, who will come to him for treatment?

The doctor's disciples immediately swarmed over.

Xu Tian declared, "If anything happens to him here, I will not let you off easily. I will even take this matter to the Emperor to resolve it."

The doctor was already terrified when he heard Xu Tian's words. He never expected that Xu Tian would mention the Emperor. Just because of this one thing, he was going to take it all to the Emperor.

When Xu Tian repeatedly threatened to cause trouble for the doctor, and even pulled out a long sword to intimidate everyone in the clinic, the doctor realized that Xu Tian was no pushover and quickly apologized.

"Look, I checked him out, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with him. Otherwise, I wouldn't want the money."

Upon hearing the doctor say that the money was no longer needed, Li Zhi slowly regained consciousness.
