Sun Zhengtang, who had been standing beside them the whole time, couldn't help but furrow his brow. This young man's claims are far too exaggerated! How could anyone ban a popular celebrity just by saying they would?

Not even a few minutes had passed when the girl's phone began to ring furiously.

She had just answered the call when she immediately said in disbelief, "What do you mean? Why isn't Kun Kun coming tonight?"

"Why was the concert canceled?"

The girl's face was a mask of astonishment, as if her entire worldview had been turned upside down.

"I understand, I understand..."

After hanging up, she stared blankly at Chen Zheng.

"What on earth is happening?"

"Say something, leader! What went wrong?"

"My cousin from the agency just called," the girl said, her voice trembling. "She said Kun Kun's concert has been canceled. It looks like he's not coming tonight!"

"And all of his albums have been removed from every platform!"

"What did you say?"

All the fans present widened their eyes before turning to stare at Chen Zheng, utterly speechless with shock.

Zhao Feng had barely finished his call when the concert was canceled. Immediately after, all of the star's albums were removed from every platform.

Wasn't that a bit too much of a coincidence? Could it be that this man before them... really had the power to ban Fan Xukun with a mere word?

At that moment, even Sun Zhengtang was thoroughly stunned. He had never imagined the young man would actually do as he said.

To completely ban someone of that caliber was not something one could do casually. It was a joke to even consider it. The man had influence everywhere!

Only then did he realize it: the background of this young man before him was unfathomably deep!

"As the saying goes, 'A nation is only as strong as its youth!'" Chen Zheng said, scanning the crowd with an icy gaze.

"You're all seventeen or eighteen years old. What on earth do you spend your days thinking about? Your idols should be the scientists who strive for our country, the great figures who make tremendous contributions to our nation! Instead, you spend your days chasing some effeminate pretty boy. What kind of future can you have like that?" Chen Zheng's voice was like a slap, striking everyone in the face.

At the scene, the fans lowered their heads, unable to say a word. Even Fan Xukun had been completely blacklisted. Compared to Chen Zheng, they were so insignificant they didn't even register on his radar. The lead girl's expression was incredibly grim, and she was now completely speechless.

Chen Zheng slowly shook his head. The youth of today truly have no ambition!

"Do you still have the nerve to stand there? Get out of here and go back to school!" Chen Zheng swept his cold gaze across everyone present. With his current status, he couldn't be bothered to argue with these kids.

Upon hearing his words, the group of teenagers scattered as if they had gone mad. Two of them quickly ran back, careful to avoid eye contact with Chen Zheng as they dragged Yang Shi away.

Now, only Chen Zheng, Zhao Feng, and the old man remained.

"You've spoken well, young man..." Sun Zhengtang's gaze toward Chen Zheng had completely transformed, his words now tinged with respect. It was no joke. He could blacklist a major celebrity with a single phone call. To possess such power... across the whole of Jingzhou, one could probably count the number of such people on one hand.

"Sir, there's no need for such courtesy," Chen Zheng said, waving his hand nonchalantly, not taking the praise to heart. Instead, he gave the old man a meaningful look. "If I'm not mistaken, sir, you frequently suffer from symptoms like profuse sweating, trembling limbs, and difficulty breathing, correct?"

Hearing this, Sun Zhengtang looked at him in utter amazement. "Could it be that you also understand Chinese medicine?"

"I know a little," Chen Zheng calmly nodded.

"You're suffering from a deficiency of both yin and yang," Chen Zheng stated, getting straight to the point. "If this isn't treated promptly, I'm afraid your life could be at risk at any moment."

He had just taken the old man's pulse, so he naturally knew where the problem lay. A condition like this doesn't develop overnight. It has likely become incurable by conventional means because it has gone untreated for so long, and Western medicine can't even detect it. Chen Zheng only offered his advice because he could see the man's life was hanging by a thread.

"I had no idea you could see all that," Sun Zhengtang said, stunned. He then heaved a long sigh. "I won't hide it from you. Indeed, I suffer from a deficiency of both yin and yang. In Chinese medicine, it's considered a near-fatal illness. I have sought out many renowned doctors and even looked for a solution in the capital, but everyone said my days were numbered. If you hadn't intervened just now, I would probably be dead already!"

"You're mistaken, sir," Chen Zheng said, interrupting him with a casual wave of his hand. "In Chinese medicine, there is no such thing as an incurable disease. These things are a matter of fate. Whether one lives or dies is ultimately a matter of one's will. From your appearance, sir, it's clear you are a charitable and kind-hearted person. Though you may face some hardships, everything will turn out fine," Chen Zheng offered comfortingly.

Hearing this, Sun Zhengtang smiled and shook his head, though his heart felt somewhat lighter. Then, he remembered the pill Chen Zheng had given him earlier and grew excited, quickly asking, "Sir, that pill you fed me... can it treat this condition?"

As he spoke, Sun Zhengtang's eyes filled with hope. That pill had worked with miraculous speed and efficacy. Perhaps... this is my chance to live!

But Chen Zheng just shook his head calmly. "Impossible."

The Small Nurturing Pill could strengthen one's constitution and nourish their vital energy, temporarily alleviating the symptoms, but completely curing the underlying condition was out of the question. Not unless he could refine a true Spirit Pill.

But right now, I haven't even obtained the Zhu Ling Grass. I don't have the luxury of worrying about whether this man lives or dies.

"I have spoken out of turn," Sun Zhengtang said, his face a mask of disappointment, though he quickly forced a smile. "Thank you again for saving my life! My name is Sun Zhengtang. My family runs several auction houses. If you ever need assistance in the future, sir, please feel free to ask!"

With that, he bowed respectfully once more.

Chen Zheng sighed. Seeing the old man's dejection, he felt a twinge of compassion. He took out his purple-gold gourd, retrieved another Small Nurturing Pill, and handed it over.

"This medicine can't cure your illness, but it might save your life at a critical moment. It's the best I can do for you."
