Lu Fan didn't say much more and headed towards the car. However, he wouldn't let the humiliation from the Yang family slide.
At the same time, thinking of the old immortal on the mountain, he gritted his teeth. He had come happily to attend a wedding, only to be looked down upon.
Yang Ding Tian kept his head bowed, watching Lu Fan get into the car. He felt even more uneasy. Bai Tian Chen was the leading family in Qingzhou, practically the boss of Qingzhou. No one dared to act presumptuously in front of the Bai family. For Lu Fan to have the head of the Bai family personally come to pick him up, their Yang family was likely facing great disaster.
After Bai Tian Chen left, Yang Jia Qi finally spoke, "Grandpa, what's going on?"
*Slap...*
Yang Ding Tian sharply slapped her. "This is all your doing! The Yang family is in great peril! He's actually connected to Master Bai!"
"Grandpa, you hit me for an outsider!" Yang Jia Qi said with a wronged expression. "It's just the Bai family. Their businesses aren't that strong. Why are you so scared?"
"What do you know? The Bai family is an invisible power in Qingzhou, their true foundation is immeasurable. Even the number one leading enterprise in Qingzhou wouldn't dare offend Master Bai," Yang Ding Tian said coldly. "For that person to have Master Bai personally pick him up, how could the Yang family possibly offend him!"
Thinking of this, Yang Ding Tian was filled with regret. He looked at Yang Jia Qi with disappointment, thinking that if she had married Lu Fan, perhaps they could have connected with the Bai family, and then the Yang family would truly be able to have their way in Qingzhou.
Alas, all of this was now ruined, and they had even offended Lu Fan in the process.
Thinking of this, Yang Ding Tian felt as though his heart was bleeding, and he almost had a heart attack and fainted.
Arriving at the Bai family's courtyard, Lu Fan stopped and looked at Bai Tian Chen. "How did you know I could cure Old Master's illness?"
"Elder Zhao said that throughout the world, only you, sir, can possibly cure him!" Bai Tian Chen pleaded, "It was my foolishness before that caused you to leave!"
As they were speaking, Divine Doctor Zhao also approached Lu Fan. "Young man, you were right. My Seven Star Needle technique has problems, but you must understand it!"
"The Seven Star Needle, also known as the Big Dipper Seven Star Needle, has extremely high requirements for needling. Even if one needle is misplaced, the entire effort will be in vain," Lu Fan said directly. "I reminded you when you were performing the needling!"
"It is my fault!" Elder Zhao said with a contrite expression. He was, after all, a renowned master of Chinese medicine, and he had almost caused a living person to die. His heart was also shaken.
"Mr. Lu, saving people is paramount! My grandfather, he... he might not make it..."
Bai Xue ran out of the room, her face streaked with tears.
Everyone rushed into the room and found the Old Master's body ice-cold. It seemed his time had come.
"Dad!"
Bai Tian Chen collapsed onto the bed, holding his father's hand, his pain seeming to tear him apart. "I didn't expect to be a step too late!"
"Mr. Bai, could you please move aside? The Old Master can still be saved. If you delay any longer, even the most skilled physician will be powerless to reverse the situation!" Lu Fan scoffed.
Bai Tian Chen quickly stepped aside. Elder Zhao also looked confused. The situation had reached this point, and the body was already stiffening. If he could still be saved, he wouldn't just be a divine doctor, but a true immortal.
Lu Fan looked at the elder, then took out his silver needles. However, as soon as the needles were inserted, they fell out. The Old Master's body was too stiff, and the resilience of the needles wasn't enough to penetrate.
Everyone's hearts sank. They had thought there was still a glimmer of hope, but now it seemed all was lost.
"Is there anyone the young master wants to save that he can't?"
As soon as Lu Fan finished speaking, he formed a hand seal, controlling the silver needles. They hovered around the Old Master, yet it seemed as if they were inserted into the Old Master's acupoints, causing the Old Master's body to twitch slightly.
"Qi manipulation for needling, how is this possible!"
Elder Zhao was so shocked he collapsed, unable to stand steady. "Qi manipulation needling, which was lost long ago!"
Lu Fan paid no mind to it and continued to perform his needling. The Old Master's life hung by a thread. If it weren't for his medical skills, he might have died here today.
Bai Tian Chen watched with his mouth agape. He had seen peerless divine doctors, but never anyone this formidable. The silver needles hovering in the air were like something from a myth.
Bai Xue clasped her hands over her chest, praying continuously for her grandfather's safety. At the same time, she was deeply impressed. She knew Lu Fan's medical skills were formidable, but she never expected them to be to this extent.
After a period of acupuncture, the silver needles formed the shape of the Big Dipper in the air, perfectly corresponding to the Old Master's acupoints.
A while later, Lu Fan finally withdrew the needles, exhausted, and sat to the side. Qi manipulation for needling was no easy task.
"Mr. Lu, how is the Old Master?" Bai Tian Chen quickly asked. "Is he truly beyond saving?"
"What nonsense are you talking? If I make a move, can there be anyone I can't save?" Lu Fan scoffed. "Hurry and prepare some food, I'm hungry. The Old Master will wake up within an hour!" Su Dan Novel Network
Bai Tian Chen let out a sigh of relief and quickly sent people to prepare food, his face filled with joy.
Elder Zhao approached the Old Master and felt his breathing, his heart filled with astonishment. "When he was examining him, the Old Master was at death's door, his body was already stiffening. Now, his breathing is even, as if he is merely sleeping."
"Mr. Lu, thank you so much this time!" Bai Xue said gratefully. "If it weren't for you, Grandpa would probably have passed away."
"Seeing how moved you are, you're not planning to offer yourself in marriage, are you?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "If that were the case, I might consider it."
Bai Xue's face flushed. Although she was beautiful, she had never interacted with men before. Being teased by Lu Fan like this stirred something within her.
"I had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai before and offended Senior. I hope Senior will forgive me!" Elder Zhao quickly cupped his fists, his attitude humble.
"Senior is too kind!" Lu Fan said with a smile. "We've also become acquainted through conflict, but that Seven Star Needle technique truly does have issues."
"Senior's medical skills are brilliant, truly a living Hua Tuo," Elder Zhao knelt down. "Does Senior accept disciples?"
"Accept disciples?" Lu Fan chuckled awkwardly. "You are a renowned master of Chinese medicine and have lived for quite some years. If I were to take you as my disciple, wouldn't I be taking advantage of you?"
"In the medical world, age is not as important as skill. Mr. Lu's medical skills are superb, and it would be my honor to be accepted as your disciple. As the saying goes, the wise are the teachers," Elder Zhao said sincerely.
"Mr. Lu, Elder Zhao is so earnest, you should agree to him," Bai Xue said seriously.
"Alright, since he's so sincere, I can only agree," Lu Fan said helplessly. "However, I will only teach you the Seven Star Needle technique. I cannot teach you anything else!"
"Thank you, Master!" Elder Zhao bowed deeply and showed great respect to Ye Tian, which was also a gesture of respecting the teacher and valuing the Way.
Although Lu Fan was young, he could not lose his composure in terms of etiquette.
