"The situation is indeed dire."
Wang Yue said.
"Xiao Yue, please, you must save my grandfather. After this is done, we'll give you whatever you want."
Tu Jiao said.
"I will do my best."
Wang Yue nodded.
He then stepped forward and felt the old man's pulse.
About three minutes passed.
Wang Yue opened his eyes.
He already had a treatment plan in mind.
Chen Sheng wasn't entirely wrong; Old Master Tu indeed had an external evil entering his body, causing blocked meridians and loss of the five senses.
For this condition, the Fuxi Nine Needles could indeed cure it!
Wang Yue took out his silver needles.
Without further ado, he said,
"Help the old man remove his clothes."
Wang Yue instructed Tu Jiao.
"Okay."
Tu Jiao obediently complied.
Wang Yue took out his needle bag from his pocket and then took out the silver needles.
"Give me a lighter."
Wang Yue said again.
Tu Jiao usually smoked, so she carried a lighter with her and immediately took it out.
After getting the lighter, Wang Yue first disinfected the silver needles and then heated them over the flame.
Old Master Tu's condition could only be resolved with fire needles.
But it wasn't ordinary fire needles; it was the "Flame Needle" from the Fuxi Nine Needles!
Tu Jiao, standing by, watched Wang Yue's dazzling maneuvers.
In a short while, Old Master Tu's body was covered in silver needles.
There were more than nine, a total of over 20 needles.
Wang Yue's forehead was already sweating.
Acupuncture is not as simple as just inserting needles; it is extremely draining.
Ten minutes later.
Old Master Tu had over 50 silver needles inserted into his body, densely packed, like a hedgehog.
Wang Yue was already exhausted.
He said tiredly, "Get me a glass of water."
Tu Jiao quickly went to get Wang Yue a glass of water.
After Wang Yue finished drinking the water, Tu Jiao asked, "Xiao Yue, how is my grandfather?"
"Thirty minutes."
Wang Yue said, "He will wake up in thirty minutes. However, your grandfather has too much evil energy in his body; it cannot all be cleared at once. I will need to perform acupuncture three more times, and then he should recover."
"Thank you, Xiao Yue!"
Tu Jiao exclaimed excitedly.
What followed was a long wait.
Tu Jiao and the Tu family members outside the room felt like time was passing at a snail's pace.
Chen Sheng wanted to come in and check several times, but medical skills are not something to be revealed lightly.
Furthermore, it was the Fuxi Nine Needles, lost for over a thousand years, so Chen Sheng did not dare to push the door open; it was a major taboo.
Wang Yue, on the other hand, was not worried at all. Legendary skills are no joke; if it said 30 minutes, it meant 30 minutes. He was very confident about this.
"Cough..."
As soon as 30 minutes were up.
Old Master Tu, who had been in a coma, suddenly coughed.
Tu Jiao immediately jumped up from her stool.
"Grandfather!"
Tu Jiao rushed to the bedside, her voice trembling with excitement.
At this moment, Old Master Tu had opened his eyes, his gaze filled with confusion.
When he saw Tu Jiao, he asked, "Jiaojiao, what happened to me? I think I had a very long dream, and I almost couldn't wake up from it."
"Grandfather, you've been in a coma for over a month."
Tu Jiao's eyes welled up with tears. "This divine doctor saved you."
Following Tu Jiao's gesture, Old Master Tu saw Wang Yue.
Understanding the cause and effect, he immediately thanked Wang Yue, "Divine Doctor Wang, thank you for saving this old man's life. Name your price, and this old man will not refuse!"
An young man like Wang Yue, with such profound medical skills, Old Master Tu naturally wanted to build a good relationship with him.
After all, who could guarantee they wouldn't fall ill? Having a divine doctor friend meant no more worries.
For someone of Old Master Tu's age, living one more day was a gain. The longer he lived, the more benefits his family would receive.
"Old Master, just give what you think is appropriate. I primarily did this for Tu Jiao's sake."
Wang Yue said with a smile.
Tu Jiao had been good to him, so he naturally had to repay her kindness.
After this incident, he believed Tu Jiao's standing in the family would significantly increase.
"Grandfather..."
Tu Jiao recounted everything that had happened outside.
"Bastard!"
After hearing this, Old Master Tu slammed the bed heavily. "Jiaojiao, call everyone in!"
Tu Jiao received the order and walked towards the door.
Old Master Tu said with deep apology, "Divine Doctor Wang, I apologize for the trouble you've endured. Rest assured, I will give you a satisfactory explanation!"
"Good."
Wang Yue nodded with a smile.
He hadn't planned to deal with Tu Bufan anymore, but since Tu Jiao brought it up, Tu Bufan was likely in for more trouble.
Soon, a large group of people crowded in.
Upon hearing the news of Old Master Tu's awakening, everyone was overjoyed.
They hadn't expected this young man to actually save the old man!
For Tu Bufan, it was like a bolt from the blue.
Could this kid really know the Fuxi Nine Needles?
Then his humiliation might never be avenged.
Most importantly, he had offended such a divine doctor. If his grandfather blamed him, who would protect him?
No one!
In the Tu family, Old Master Tu was heaven, and his word was imperial decree. No one dared to disobey.
Tu Bufan was trembling uneasily, feeling that Tu Jiao's gaze towards him was not good.
"Old Master!"
After entering the room, Xu Shanhe stepped forward.
"Shanhe."
Old Master Tu's expression slightly improved upon seeing Xu Shanhe.
If Xu Shanhe hadn't decisively made Tu Bufan kneel and apologize, his old life might have been forfeit.
"Wretch! Get over here!"
Then, Old Master Tu looked at Tu Bufan and said sternly.
Tu Bufan trembled all over and quickly walked forward, softly calling out, "Grandfather."
"I do not have a grandson like you!"
Old Master Tu's words made Tu Bufan's body go limp with fear.
His legs buckled, and he knelt on the ground.
"Grandfather, I was wrong this time, but I also made a grave mistake out of concern for your safety. For the sake of my filial piety, I hope Grandfather will forgive me!"
Tu Bufan said mournfully.
He was a mess of snot and tears, looking utterly pathetic.
It was no wonder Tu Bufan was putting on such a pitiful act; Old Master Tu's words implied he would be expelled from the family!
Without the family's support, Tu Bufan couldn't even imagine his fate.
His previous rivals would likely fall upon him, and those he had bullied would be eager to tear him limb from limb!
Thinking of this outcome, Tu Bufan's body grew cold. He could not lose the family's backing; otherwise, he would face a fate worse than death.
"Begging me is useless. You must beg Divine Doctor Wang!"
Old Master Tu snorted coldly.
If it weren't for Tu Bufan traveling a great distance to invite Chen Sheng, Old Master Tu would be expelling him from the family right now.
However, the final fate of Tu Bufan, Old Master Tu decided, would be left to Wang Yue to decide.
