Xiao Yanyu looked at Bu Fang in delight. He was finally there! Xiao Xiaolong had told her that Bu Fang had a way to treat her fatherʼs poison.

When Bu Fang left, he had disappeared for half a month. The more she waited for him, the more anxious she became. She was afraid that Bu Fang would take too long and her father would have already died by the time he got back.

Bu Fang nodded indifferently toward Xiao Yanyu, who was staring at him with a slightly excited look.

Bu Fangʼs calm bearing caused Xiao Yanyu to slightly relax. She felt as if all her fear and anxiety disappeared when Bu Fang nodded at her.

”Young master Xiao… Who might this be?”

When the several old people surrounding the door saw that Xiao Xiaolong was back with a youngster, doubts formed in their mind. They were the imperial physicians sent by Ji Chengxue. They had the highest medical expertise in the entire Imperial Palace. Those old men spent all of their time in the palace studying medicine and they rarely paid attention to the outside world. Although they had some knowledge of Fang Fangʼs little store which was well-known throughout the entire empire, they didnʼt have a deep understanding of the store. They didnʼt even recognize Owner Bu when he stood in front of them.

After Xiao Yanyu came back to her senses, she introduced Bu Fangʼs status to the imperial physicians in a mild and gentle tone.

She was quite respectful toward them. That was because they were the ones who kept Xiao Mengʼs life safe when Bu Fang was away. If they were not present, Xiao Meng would already have lost his life to the poison.

Therefore, she was quite grateful to these imperial physicians.

”This is the owner of Fang Fangʼs Little Store. Today, heʼs here to treat my fatherʼs...” Xiao Yanyu cordially introduced him to the group of old men.

All of a sudden, an old imperial physician glared at Bu Fang as he sized him up.

”Miss Xiao, which clinic is this Fang Fangʼs Little Store? Why havenʼt I heard of it before?” An old imperial physician opened his mouth and questioned her. When the rest of them heard his question, they nodded their heads and looked toward Xiao Yanyu for an answer.

Xiao Yanyu was somewhat embarrassed when they asked about Fang Fangʼs Little Store.

”Fang Fangʼs Little Store isnʼt a clinic. Itʼs our Imperial Capitalʼs most famous restaurant,” said Xiao Yanyu.

Restaurant?

Are you cracking a joke right now? Weʼre here to treat the guy, not have a meal...

”A Restaurant? Miss Xiao, treating a patient isnʼt some kind of game. How can you bring someone so foolish here? A restaurant is managed by a chef, not a doctor.”

”Thatʼs right, Miss Xiao, have you ever seen a chef treating someoneʼs illness?” Another old imperial physician spoke up with displeasure in his voice.

It was obvious that they were doubting Bu Fangʼs ability the moment they learned about his identity. They were sizing up Bu Fang as they shook their heads at him.

Bu Fang shot a calm and indifferent look at the old men who were making a fuss. He slowly turned his head toward Xiao Yanyu and he asked her a single question:

”Do you still need me to treat him? If you donʼt, Iʼll go back and take a nice long nap...”

Xiao Yanyuʼs complexion paled instantly. Without explaining anything else to the imperial physicians, Xiao Yanyu brought Bu Fang into the room hurriedly.

When they saw that Xiao Yanyu was ignoring them, the imperial physicians, for a chef, their expressions immediately turned ugly. One of them waved his sleeve and gave a cold snort. They were imperial physicians, yet Xiao Yanyu brought a chef over to look after Xiao Meng. This clearly showed them that she was looking down on them.

Could it be that the medical expertise of prestigious Imperial Palaceʼs physicians like them paled in comparison to a chef who only knew how to wield a kitchen knife?

This was truly presumptuous.

Xiao Xiaolong shot a glance at the group of old men. Currently, his heart was quite calm and peaceful. He wasnʼt in the mood to explain things to those imperial physicians.

Owner Bu truly didnʼt know anything about medicine. However, he was able to make the Elixir Cuisine.

As for how formidable was Bu Fangʼs Elixir Cuisine, Xiao Xiaolong witnessed it with his own eyes. If he didnʼt place his hopes on Owner Bu, should he place his hopes on the imperial physicians who concluded that his father was definitely going to die?
