The entire venue fell silent.
Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.
No way!
You're actually treating people by slapping them?!
Everyone had thought when Qin Luo said he could cure with one slap, it was just a figure of speech.
But he was literally going to slap people?!
Situ Yun was scared half to death, collapsing to the ground with a thud.
He nervously looked at his elderly father sitting in the wheelchair.
His father was barely hanging on to life with all these medical devices!
His frail body couldn't take a hit!
However, in just a moment.
A miracle occurred.
Crash!!
All the medical equipment started falling to the ground.
Before everyone's shocked eyes.
Boom!!
A powerful surge of energy erupted from Elder Situ's body.
Those with keen eyes could tell.
This was... a breakthrough in cultivation?!!
The next second.
Whoosh!!
Elder Situ immediately stood up from his wheelchair, full of vigor.
Crack! Pop!
He clenched his fists, shouting in disbelief and amazement: "I...!!"
"I'm cured!!!"
Whoosh————!!!
The entire venue erupted in chaos!
"Gasp! Elder Situ is really cured!"
"Holy cow! This is insane! Master Qin is even more incredible than that Divine Physician! At least the Divine Physician needed to use acupuncture!"
"What Divine Physician! That guy was just a fraud who played tricks!"
"Exactly! Think about it - what kind of Divine Physician would stand there taking slaps?"
"Right, I wonder if the Jiang family head was scammed into hiring that quack."
"Indeed, they say Divine Physicians help save people, but he only agreed to treat one person at this auction. What kind of Divine Physician is that!"
Everyone was excited, finally understanding what Qin Luo and Su Muwan truly represented!
They began chanting in unison.
"Please grant us your slap, Master Qin!!"
"Please grant us your slap, Master Qin!!"
"Please grant us your slap, Master Qin!!"
After delivering the slap, Qin Luo calmly pulled out a wet wipe to clean his palm.
His expression remained serene.
This was a true Divine Physician!
Situ Rufeng's face lit up with joy - perhaps breaking things off with Jiang Xueqi wasn't all bad!
Thud!
He quickly knelt down and bowed to Qin Luo: "Thank you Master Qin for saving my grandfather!!"
Qin Luo glanced at Situ Rufeng kneeling on the ground and smirked: "Weren't you that useless Jiang Xueqi's childhood sweetheart?"
At these words, Jiang Xueqi's face contorted.
Situ Rufeng remained kneeling, respectfully saying: "Master Qin, I only endured the humiliation back then to save my grandfather!"
"To be honest..."
Situ Rufeng spat in disgust: "I've been fed up with that poisonous woman for a long time!"
"She was always comparing me to her other brothers!"
"Whenever something didn't go her way, she'd threaten to have her brothers teach me a lesson."
"I couldn't take it anymore!"
As his words fell.
Jiang Xueqi's eyes reddened as she stared in disbelief at Situ Rufeng who had just said these words.
Brother Rufeng, so this is how you really see me...
I...
I was so wrong about you before.
Jiang Xueqi was utterly disappointed. She had thought if Situ Rufeng came to apologize and comfort her, she would forgive him.
But now... dream on!
I, Jiang Xueqi, will never forgive you! Never!
Qin Luo smiled slightly and nodded: "Good, you've seen the error of your ways and turned to the light. There's still hope for you."
"You may rise."
"Thank you, Master Qin!"
Elder Situ looked at Qin Luo with admiration and laughed heartily: "Truly a young hero!"
"Young man, looking at it now, having my Situ family become a force under your Young Miss seems like we're the ones getting the better deal!"
Even though his cultivation had broken through, he was only at mid Peak Realm.
However, this level of strength meant nothing before true super powers.
The Jiang family and Song family both had powerful backing.
Only his Situ family had none.
So, joining the Su family might be the only way to maintain their current status!
Qin Luo smiled faintly.
He said nothing more, then glanced at Long Dingtian.
Long Dingtian nodded and announced to the crowd in the stands: "The auction continues!"
As Long Dingtian's words fell.
The crowd who had been watching from the sidelines went crazy with bidding.
They shouted prices as if money meant nothing.
"I bid 50 million!!"
"Get lost! The Situ family bid 100 million, who do you think you are bidding just 50 million! Master Qin, I bid 80 million!"
"If you're going to bid, bid high!! This is Master Qin who surpasses the Divine Physician!! I bid 150 million!"
"200 million! I bid 200 million!! My Qi family's elder is really at his limit!!"
"Who do you think your Qi family is? Weren't you talking about teaching Young Miss Su a lesson earlier?"
"Exactly! Master Qin! I bid 210 million!! And I have a beautiful daughter! Master Qin, perhaps you'd like to..."
Before he could finish.
Su Muwan frowned and quickly turned to glare at the person who mentioned having a beautiful daughter.
She immediately scolded coldly: "Shut up! You worthless person trying to sell your daughter!"
Then Su Muwan glared at Qin Luo and shouted: "Qin Luo, you're not allowed to treat him!"
How infuriating! Who do you all think you are, coveting my Qin Luo!
All of you, get lost!
Qin Luo blinked, then smiled slightly: "Yes, Young Miss."
Long Dingtian seemed to understand something and awkwardly announced: "Then congratulations to the Qi family for winning Master Qin's treatment."
"This is... this is wonderful!!"
The Qi Family Master excitedly jumped up from his seat and quickly brought the elder down to the stage.
Just as he was about to flatter Qin Luo: "Master..."
Slap!
Qin Luo's palm landed squarely on Qi Old Master's face.
Then he looked at Long Dingtian: "Next."
Long Dingtian was stunned for a moment before quickly announcing: "The auction continues!"
The Qi Family Master who had just spent 200 million hoping to get closer froze.
Huh?
That's it?
He looked at his father and realized... his father was cured too!
Incredible!
As expected of Master Qin!
Then.
More and more people won their chances and came down to the stage.
"Master Qin, my condition is..."
Slap!
"Master Qin, my body..."
Slap!
"Master Qin, I'm not sick, I just wanted to chat..."
Slap!
"Master Qin, I..."
Slap!
"Master..."
Slap!
As time passed.
More and more people received resounding slaps and were cured of their ailments.
Some people came purely out of curiosity, thinking since others got slapped, they might as well experience it too.
Others weren't sure if they were sick or not, but figured they'd let Master Qin give them a slap just to check.
Su Muwan sat in the front row, already yawning from boredom: "Hah~~"
She looked helplessly at the line of family heads waiting to receive slaps.
Questioning life itself.
Ah, this is getting ridiculous.
One after another getting their faces slapped by my Qin Luo's jade-like hand.
Qin Luo saw he was down to the last person.
He wiped his hand with an alcohol wipe, then looked at this final person.
The person happily began: "Master..."
Slap!
Qin Luo had already delivered the slap.
And as Qin Luo finished delivering this final slap.
He silently thought to himself.
Little puppy... add some defense.

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!

Shen Yuan: Let's team up, we'll split the system rewards! Protagonist: Fifty-fifty split? Shen Yuan: No way! Protagonist: What!? I'm the one getting beaten up, and I don't get half?

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
