The crowd hesitated upon hearing this, fearing Qin Hui might employ some trick if allowed to treat the old lady alone.
"Alright, let's all go out. Besides, isn't Shishi still inside?"
Qin Yan said, leading the way out. After a moment of hesitation, the Qin family members also followed.
As for Li Yang, he shot Qin Hui a glare before leaving.
Li Yang didn't believe Qin Hui could cure an illness that even he couldn't. If Qin Hui failed, it would be quite a spectacle.
Qin Hui's reason for chasing everyone out was simple: the treatment to follow was rather special, and he didn't want to be interrupted. That was why he had the Qin family leave.
As for keeping Qin Shishi, it was purely to have her assist him.
Once the room door was closed, Qin Hui spoke, "First, boil me a kettle of hot water."
Qin Shishi immediately nodded and went to fetch water.
While she was gone, Qin Hui took out his silver needles and began to sterilize them.
During the pulse-taking earlier, Qin Hui had gained a thorough understanding of the old lady's condition.
The old lady had suffered from a cold once before, which led to the necrosis of some nerves in her brain.
She hadn't experienced headaches before because she was young. Now that she was older, those nerves in her brain naturally began to cause problems.
After all, the brain is the most mysterious part of the human body, filled with millions of cells. With the hospital's current technology, it was difficult to pinpoint the cause of the old lady's illness.
Since the cause of the illness couldn't be identified, it naturally couldn't be cured.
What Qin Hui needed to do was quite simple: use acupuncture to treat and repair the damaged nerves.
Once the silver needles were sterilized, Qin Hui inserted them into the acupoints on the old lady's head.
In a short while, five silver needles were inserted into the old lady's head by Qin Hui.
Then, Qin Hui gently rotated his fingers on these five silver needles. As he rotated them, threads of true qi slowly entered the old lady's brain.
Qin Shishi, who had just finished boiling water, was stunned by this sight. It was the first time she had ever seen someone treat an illness in such a manner.
Fortunately, Qin Shishi reacted quickly and covered her mouth, afraid she might make a sound that could disturb Qin Hui's treatment.
Now Qin Shishi finally understood why Qin Hui had asked everyone to leave. If they knew Qin Hui's treatment method, they certainly wouldn't have allowed him to proceed.
As he delicately moved his fingers, Qin Hui's complexion gradually turned somewhat pale.
It was important to note that each time he used this Nine Yang Divine Needle technique, Qin Hui would consume a significant amount of mental energy. However, with his current strength, he didn't have much mental energy available for his use.
Fortunately, the energy consumed in this treatment was within Qin Hui's tolerance.
After five minutes, sweat beaded on Qin Hui's forehead.
At the same time, the old lady's complexion, which had been pale before, began to regain some color.
While Qin Hui was meticulously treating her, a towel warmed with hot water was placed on his forehead.
Qin Hui turned to look and saw Qin Shishi wiping the sweat from his brow with the towel, her demeanor exceedingly careful.
Qin Hui's heart warmed slightly. It seemed Qin Shishi was also a thoughtful woman.
Three minutes later, Qin Hui let out a long sigh and removed all the silver needles from the old lady's head.
The moment Qin Hui removed the needles, the old lady woke up.
"Shishi, what… what happened to me just now? I remember I just fainted."
The old lady looked confused.
"Grandma, you did faint just now, but fortunately, the Divine Physician Qin saved you."
Qin Shishi quickly replied.
Upon hearing this, the old lady looked at Qin Hui with gratitude.
"Divine Physician Qin, thank you. Otherwise, this old life of mine would have been lost."
Because her body was still weak, the old lady could only lie on the bed and express her thanks.
"It's alright. Healing people is my profession. I'll write you another prescription later, and if you take the medicine on time, your condition will be fully recovered."
Qin Hui also offered a smile.
Although Qin Hui felt somewhat weak after each treatment, the sense of honor he felt from seeing patients cured was incredibly gratifying.
Outside the door, everyone was waiting anxiously. It had been almost ten minutes, and there was still no reaction from inside the room.
"Uncle, is everything alright in there? Time is almost up, let's go in and take a look."
"Yes, although that Doctor Qin has some skills, we still prefer to see for ourselves."
The members of the Qin family were growing impatient.
Li Yang, on the other hand, felt smugly triumphant. In his opinion, the old lady was certainly going to die, and Qin Hui was just making a futile effort. It would be fun if Qin Hui managed to anger the Qin family.
Qin Yan stood at the door, hesitating for a long time before finally making up his mind. He reached out a hand towards the door and pushed.
However, just at that moment, the door was opened by Qin Hui.
Seeing Qin Hui's pale face, Qin Yan immediately felt a sense of foreboding.
The hearts of the Qin family members sank to the bottom. It was clear from Qin Hui's disheveled appearance that he had not completed the treatment.
"Hmph, I thought you were quite capable, but it turns out you're just so-so."
"If the old lady is ruined by you, you'll have to take responsibility."
Li Yang immediately spoke up. This was the opportunity he had been waiting for to attack Qin Hui.
Li Yang also had other considerations. If Qin Hui could share some of the Qin family's anger, then Li Yang would have a way to survive.
"Doctor Li, what are you saying? Are you saying you don't want my grandmother to get well?"
"To tell you the truth, my grandmother has already woken up. It was Divine Physician Qin who cured her!"
Qin Shishi walked out at this moment and shouted.
After all, Qin Hui was her savior. Although Qin Shishi was simple-minded, she couldn't stand seeing Qin Hui being humiliated like this.
Qin Shishi's words not only stunned Li Yang but also the entire Qin family.
Everyone had thought Qin Hui had failed.
Qin Yan no longer had time to ponder. He walked directly into the sickroom.
The Qin family members also followed, wanting to see for themselves.
Li Yang also entered with a trace of curiosity.
Soon, excited exclamations erupted from within the room.
"That's great, Mom, you're finally awake."
"Grandma is well. It seems Heaven blesses our Qin family."
Hearing her descendants' words, the old lady's expression immediately darkened.
"It was Divine Physician Qin who saved me. Why aren't you all quickly thanking Divine Physician Qin!"
The old lady's words were an order. Qin Yan immediately nodded and walked towards the door.
At this moment, Qin Hui was sitting in a chair, regulating his breathing. Qin Shishi, beside him, was wiping his sweat, holding a cup of hot water in her hand, showing evident concern.
"Divine Physician Qin, thank you for curing my mother's chronic illness. Please accept my bow."
Qin Yan said with some shame, as his attitude towards Qin Hui had not been friendly before.
Qin Hui did not stop Qin Yan's action, as it was what he deserved.
After bowing, Qin Yan seemed to remember something.
"By the way, Divine Physician Qin, thank you for your help this time. As for the consultation fee, you can name your price, as long as our Qin family can afford it."
Qin Yan was naturally a shrewd person. Since Qin Hui had cured his mother's illness, he would naturally have to charge a consultation fee.
However, Qin Hui's next words left Qin Yan stunned.
"Uncle Qin, you are too kind. I, Qin Hui, treat people based on destiny. Today, purely for Shishi's sake, I will not accept a single cent of the consultation fee."
