Yun Shu paid no mind to Zhan Tianye's expression.
Since she intended to claim one million taels, she had to treat his legs thoroughly.
Old Master Qin glared at Qiu Lu. He had asked for his pants to be removed, but he hadn't meant for them to be taken off so completely! They were all off!
However...
His grandson's legs...
They were not atrophied.
They were not flabby.
He had seen disabled people before; their legs were an unbearable sight.
When Yun Shu saw Zhan Tianye's legs, which appeared remarkably slender and healthy, she paused for a moment.
She had to admit.
Zhan Tianye possessed a pair of fine legs.
Very slender.
The muscle lines exuded masculine beauty perfectly.
Although the original owner of this body was foolish and silly back then, her taste was excellent.
These were the legs of a normal person.
Definitely not the legs of a cripple.
A flicker of surprise crossed Yun Shu's eyes. It seemed earning that one million taels wouldn't be easy.
She immediately reached out to touch an acupoint.
Her hand had just landed.
Before she could press the acupoint.
Zhan Tianye suddenly grasped her hand.
Yun Shu looked up.
Their eyes met.
Yun Shu sensed it. Did he think she was trying to take liberties with him? She showed no emotion.
Old Master Qin slapped Zhan Tianye's hand, "What are you doing? Dare to take liberties with Shu girl in front of me! You're too bold!"
"Grandfather!" Zhan Tianye's lips twitched violently. He was taking liberties with her?
Had Grandfather understood what had transpired between them?
"Don't move! Let Shu girl treat your illness properly!" Old Master Qin gave Zhan Tianye a stern look. Ever since this boy grew up, he carried an unfathomable aura.
Especially in the past few years.
He was well aware of Shu girl's capabilities and wished Shu girl *would* take liberties with this boy.
But that was clearly unlikely.
Zhan Tianye looked at Yun Shu's serious face and suddenly realized he had overthought things.
At this moment, Yun Shu's gaze fixed on his legs, possessing a sharpness that seemed to pierce through all pretense.
He then found it rather amusing. How could that be? His legs were peculiar. If she could truly heal them, he would vouch for her and declare to the world that her medical skills far surpassed even the most revered divine physicians.
Yun Shu looked at the legs before her, no longer in the mood for admiration.
She pressed a few acupoints.
And subtly observed Zhan Tianye's facial expressions.
He showed no reaction.
Then, she took out her silver needles.
And directly inserted them into his legs.
She was immersed in a world only she understood.
Zhan Tianye watched her.
Her face was incomparably beautiful. As she decisively inserted needles, not a single one wavered.
Mysteriously, she exuded a fatal allure.
Old Master Qin watched from the side, his heart pounding. He had seen Shu girl save others before, but he had never seen her look so solemn.
He also knew his grandson's condition was complicated, and ordinary doctors would surely be unable to treat him.
Even though he was as wealthy as a nation, he couldn't truly protect his grandson completely.
After inserting the needles, Yun Shu made no further moves, instead focusing intently on Zhan Tianye's legs.
Since she remained silent, Old Master Qin, eager to know the situation, dared not ask, fearing he would disturb her.
Zhan Tianye also did not ask.
He was getting to know Yun Shu anew today.
The room was so quiet one could hear a needle drop.
About a quarter of an hour passed.
She suddenly raised her head, her bright, starry eyes looking at Zhan Tianye, "I will take your pulse now."
Zhan Tianye was caught off guard, his gaze falling into her eyes.
He hadn't even heard what she said.
"Quickly give your hand to Shu girl so she can take your pulse!" Old Master Qin urged Zhan Tianye, who was lost in thought.
Why was he spacing out for no reason?
He was delaying things!
Zhan Tianye snapped back to reality.
He extended his hand.
Yun Shu was deep in thought, not noticing Zhan Tianye's reaction.
She needed to confirm one thing to understand why Zhan Tianye's legs were unable to walk.
Undeniably, this was the most interesting illness she had encountered in her medical career!
She suddenly felt that treating him wasn't so unwelcome after all, considering Old Master Qin, the one million taels, and the peculiar nature of his ailment.
Yun Shu collected her thoughts and focused on taking his pulse.
Her fingertips landed on his wrist.
Zhan Tianye lowered his gaze, observing her smooth, exquisitely manicured fingertips.
It was as if those fingertips were shimmering with a faint glow.
His dark eyes shifted slightly.
This was the longest pulse diagnosis Yun Shu had ever performed.
Because his pulse was rare. Although she had diagnosed it twice before, she had overlooked it each time. This was a situation she had almost never encountered.
It was also because she hadn't performed acupuncture on his legs and seen the specific condition of his legs before.
Interesting.
Once she was certain, she withdrew her hand.
Then she removed all the silver needles.
"Shu girl, how is it?" Old Master Qin anxiously asked Yun Shu.
He knew Shu girl was a skilled physician, but his grandson's illness was peculiar and difficult to diagnose. If Shu girl also had no solution, then his grandson would truly have to spend his life in a wheelchair!
Zhan Tianye raised his cold gaze.
Yun Shu put away the silver needles.
She simply said, "I'll have a cup of tea first, and let me ponder."
"Alright!" Old Master Qin immediately dared not ask further.
Zhan Tianye watched as Old Master Qin eagerly followed Yun Shu to the table and even proactively poured tea for her. His brow furrowed.
He had only ever seen his grandfather be this attentive to his grandmother before.
Yun Shu drank her tea, tapping one hand rhythmically on the table.
A soft, rhythmic sound emanated from the tabletop.
Yun Shu calmly drank her tea.
Ignoring the gazes of the people in the room.
She was always like this when contemplating a patient's condition, easily forgetting that others were present.
After a long while.
The sky outside darkened.
Qiu Lu quickly lit the lamps.
The candlelight in the room flickered with the breeze blowing in from the doorway.
Yun Shu's face was intermittently illuminated.
Moments later.
She suddenly stood up.
And spoke.
"During the years that Prince Ye's legs were unable to walk, did he truly never stand up?" Yun Shu suddenly stared at Zhan Tianye.
Zhan Tianye's heart skipped a beat, his eyes sharpening.
Qiu Lu was stunned.
He looked at Miss Yun Er in disbelief, realizing he had underestimated her from the very beginning!
Amazing!
Were these medical skills truly not as formidable as those of the divine physicians? Why were there no rumors about Miss Yun Er's superb medical skills in the world?!
So many divine physicians had diagnosed the Prince, yet only Miss Yun Er's words could shock people to death!
"Shu girl, what is going on?" Old Master Qin was confused by Yun Shu's words, then looked at Zhan Tianye with astonishment, "Grandson, what is happening? Shu girl said you stood up? You were clearly crippled, unable to move from your wheelchair, how could you stand up?"
Old Master Qin had never been so bewildered.
Qiu Lu swallowed, suppressing his shock.
"Also, did the medicinal catalyst you used to suppress the poison contain the blood of a Snow Spirit Snake?" Yun Shu once again dropped a bombshell.
Qiu Lu's eyes widened almost to the point of popping. He wanted to kneel before Miss Yun Er.
The cold and aloof aura around Zhan Tianye suddenly intensified. He looked at Yun Shu before him with disbelief.
