The master of the Ma family stumbled towards Young Master Ma, his eyes turning red. He tightly grasped Young Master Ma's hand, his entire demeanor instantly appearing much older.
The Ma family clansmen also gathered around.
Shen Lu, the vice president, and everyone from the hospital had extremely grim expressions.
Young Master Ma was dead, and the master of the Ma family would surely hold the hospital accountable.
"Divine Doctor Xue, what exactly is going on?" Shen Lu asked Divine Doctor Xue with a frown.
"I did my best!"
Divine Doctor Xue deliberately put on a look of helplessness. He took a deep breath and said, "Young Master Ma's condition was too severe. The Heavenly Spirit Needle Technique could not save his life."
Divine Doctor Xue found an excuse to shirk responsibility.
Shen Lu's face darkened.
Young Master Ma was dead, and it was too late to say anything.
"Divine Doctor Xue, you killed my son. How do you plan to account for this to me?"
The master of the Ma family glared sharply at Divine Doctor Xue.
"Boss Ma, I truly did my best!" Divine Doctor Xue quickly explained.
"I don't want to hear your excuses. You killed my son, and you must pay with your life for him."
The master of the Ma family revealed a murderous intent and shouted to the bodyguards behind him, "Kill him!"
Divine Doctor Xue immediately panicked.
"Boss Ma, please calm down..." Shen Lu tried to persuade him.
"My son is already dead, how can you expect me to calm down?"
The master of the Ma family roared, "Dean Shen, after I deal with this quack, I'll deal with you."
The master of the Ma family had completely lost control!
Shen Lu's pretty face looked very unpleasant.
Jiang Yi suddenly smiled.
His smile drew everyone's attention.
Only then did everyone recall that Jiang Yi had spoken up to stop Divine Doctor Xue earlier.
Divine Doctor Xue had not heeded Jiang Yi's advice and had inserted the silver needle into Young Master Ma's Tianchi acupoint, causing Young Master Ma to lose his life on the spot.
"If you had listened to me, Young Master Liu wouldn't have died! That last needle you used was the most fatal one," Jiang Yi said to Divine Doctor Xue.
"You're spouting nonsense!"
Divine Doctor Xue immediately cursed, "I am proficient in needle techniques. It's not your place, a fraud, to point fingers at me."
"You are the fraud," Jiang Yi said calmly.
"Who do you think you are, daring to call me a fraud? If you keep spewing nonsense, I'll kill you right now." Divine Doctor Xue tried to stop Jiang Yi from continuing.
Divine Doctor Xue was already feeling guilty.
As a renowned divine doctor, having caused the death of Young Master Ma had already ruined half of his reputation.
"Continue speaking!"
The master of the Ma family looked at Jiang Yi. "I must find out who the fraud is, so my son doesn't die without knowing why."
Divine Doctor Xue dared not obstruct Jiang Yi any further.
Jiang Yi let out a cold laugh and said, "Divine Doctor Xue is not using the Heavenly Spirit Needle Technique. His technique is only very similar to the Heavenly Spirit Needle Technique. You all don't understand the Heavenly Spirit Needle Technique, which is why he was able to fool you all."
"How can you prove that Divine Doctor Xue is not using the Heavenly Spirit Needle Technique?" the master of the Ma family asked.
"It's very simple!"
Jiang Yi said, "The Heavenly Spirit Needle Technique must use gold needles. Only gold needles can unleash the full power of the Heavenly Spirit Needle Technique, achieving the best results in treating patients. But Divine Doctor Xue used silver needles!"
Jiang Yi continued, "Divine Doctor Xue doesn't even know the most basic common sense. The truth is obvious!"
Upon hearing this, the vice president hurried to retrieve the ancient book that recorded the Heavenly Spirit Needle Technique.
The ancient book, over two hundred pages long, was entirely dedicated to the Heavenly Spirit Needle Technique.
The Heavenly Spirit Needle Technique was a legend; no one had ever seen it.
This ancient book only contained some legends about the Heavenly Spirit Needle Technique.
Ten minutes later!
"Found it!"
The vice president exclaimed loudly, "What's recorded in the ancient book is exactly what Zhang San said. The Heavenly Spirit Needle Technique requires the use of gold needles, not silver needles."
The master of the Ma family snatched the ancient book and read it carefully. The vice president had indeed not lied.
Divine Doctor Xue began to panic!
His lie had been thoroughly exposed.
However, Divine Doctor Xue did not intend to give up.
"What's recorded in the ancient book might not necessarily be true!"
Divine Doctor Xue feigned composure and sneered, "The Heavenly Spirit Needle Technique is just a legend. Who here dares to claim they have personally witnessed the Heavenly Spirit Needle Technique? The person who wrote this book only heard about it."
The expressions of the crowd began to become complicated.
"What Divine Doctor Xue said does have some truth to it," the vice president nodded.
Divine Doctor Xue sneered.
"Unless you can find someone who knows the Heavenly Spirit Needle Technique to prove that I am not using it, you have no right to say I killed your son."
These words caused the master of the Ma family's expression to darken.
"Boss Ma, if you can prove I am a fraud, I will have no complaints about you killing me. But if you cannot prove it, you cannot say I caused your son's death," Divine Doctor Xue stated calmly.
"You killed my son. That is reason enough for me to kill you. Even if you are not a fraud, I will still kill you!"
The master of the Ma family said coldly, "I haven't killed you yet because I wanted to understand how my son died."
The master of the Ma family was not swayed by Divine Doctor Xue's words.
If he wanted to kill someone, no one could stop him.
"What is Zhang San trying to do?" someone shouted.
Hearing this, everyone turned their gazes towards Jiang Yi.
They saw Jiang Yi walk to Young Master Ma's corpse, feel his pulse, and then pull out all the silver needles from Young Master Ma's body.
Seeing Jiang Yi fiddling with Young Master Ma's corpse, the master of the Ma family became enraged.
"Don't touch my son. If you dare to touch him again, I'll kill you." The master of the Ma family walked towards Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi ignored the master of the Ma family.
Jiang Yi held a gold needle between his fingers and inserted it into Young Master Ma's various acupoints with fluid movements.
"Look quickly, Young Master Ma's finger moved!" someone shouted.
Everyone rushed to look at Young Master Ma and indeed saw his finger twitch.
The electrocardiogram, which had been a straight line, suddenly showed some activity.
Everyone held their breath, fearing they might disturb Jiang Yi.
"Could this be the true Heavenly Spirit Needle Technique?"
The vice president regained his senses and quickly opened the ancient book, comparing it with Jiang Yi's movements.
"That's right, the technique Zhang San is using is exactly as described in the ancient book!"
The vice president shouted, "This is the true Heavenly Spirit Needle Technique, there's no mistake."
Hearing this, the master of the Ma family and Shen Lu quickly leaned in. Indeed, Jiang Yi's technique was identical to the description in the ancient book, with not a single deviation.
However, soon, everyone's expressions became complicated.
They had all called Jiang Yi a fraud earlier, but they had not expected Jiang Yi to be the true divine doctor.
"Zhang San not only knows the Plum Blossom Thirteen Needles but also the Heavenly Spirit Needle Technique. This makes him a divine doctor among divine doctors," the vice president sighed.
"We truly judged a book by its cover!" Shen Lu took a deep breath.
After coming to their senses, everyone's gaze fell upon Jiang Yi.
Having never witnessed the legendary Heavenly Spirit Needle Technique before, no one wanted to miss this opportunity to feast their eyes.
