"What?" Lin Li was stunned.
Peng Ze chuckled, "Uncle, your leg problem is just a symptom. The actual lesion is at the root of the leg!"
Lin Li was instantly embarrassed, thinking Peng Ze was implying he had contracted something from his indiscretions, and hesitated whether to let him continue.
However, Peng Ze quickly stated, "Based on my observation of the qi in your body, your leg and pelvic joints are tending towards necrosis. If not treated promptly, there will be severe consequences."
"Really?" Lin Li was startled.
He had thought his embarrassing secrets were about to be exposed, not something more serious.
With this thought, he eagerly said to Peng Ze, "Little Peng, you must save Uncle!"
"No problem. Since I'm here today, I'm fully confident! I'll treat you now!"
As Peng Ze was about to act, Tang Yun suddenly called out, "Wait!"
She looked at Chen Jie and said, "Weren't you going to have a competition? Little Peng has already diagnosed your Uncle Lin's illness, isn't it your turn now?"
"Ah, what competition is there to worry about now? There are many ways to compete. You don't need to use me as material. Let Little Peng cure my illness first!"
Lin Li had no interest in their squabble over Lin Shuang.
Tang Yun still wanted to say something, but Peng Ze said, "Uncle is right. We doctors shouldn't be petty. Saving lives must always come first! Now that Uncle's leg ailment is showing signs, it needs to be resolved quickly. The priority is to cure Uncle's illness! As for my competition with Brother Chen, we can discuss it later!"
Tang Yun glared at Chen Jie, "See? He's a benevolent healer and so magnanimous! You, with your temper of chasing people away, think you're so great just because you have some money? Let me tell you, we really don't care about that!"
"Unlike Little Peng, who is poor yet still outstanding."
Lin Shuang saw Tang Yun constantly praising Peng Ze and felt a bit anxious.
She couldn't help but say, "Mom, you can't say that. Sometimes having money really is impressive! After all, Chen Jie can drive a Bugatti today and change it tomorrow. Some doctors might have some money, but it's not realistic for them to change cars so easily! That's the power of money!"
Peng Ze's expression stiffened slightly.
Then, a trace of awkwardness quickly vanished.
Tang Yun, being perceptive, noticed this.
She patted Peng Ze firmly, "Little Peng, don't worry. It's just money, isn't it? My Lin family has plenty! Once you become my Lin family's son-in-law, I'll make it my business to invest a large sum of money in you to open a medical clinic!"
"Hehe, thank you, Auntie. However, my ambitions are grand now. I'm not just aiming to open a medical clinic anymore!"
"Oh? Then what do you want to do? Tell Auntie now. If it's feasible, Auntie can discuss investment with you today!"
Peng Ze said, "Auntie, my Guigu school practices medicine not for profit, but to help the common people. However, this requires significant financial strength.
Therefore, I have long planned for my future. I want to be involved in the automotive industry. With the rise of new energy vehicles recently, I plan to establish a new energy vehicle brand!"
Tang Yun's eyes lit up, "Little Peng, your ambitions are truly grand! You actually want to manufacture cars!"
Peng Ze said proudly, "That's natural. I've already thought of a name for the car brand: Little Peng Automobiles!"
"Hehe, alright. Send me the proposal later, and I'll take a look!" Tang Yun neither agreed nor refused.
"Of course, regarding the investment, let's discuss it after I cure Uncle Lin."
Peng Ze said, "Next, I will use the fifth form of my Guigu hand technique, the massage technique, from my Guigu school to repair Uncle's damaged joints!"
"Please lie down comfortably, Uncle Lin!" Peng Ze said to Lin Li.
"Alright!"
Lin Li immediately lay down on the sofa, signaling Peng Ze to begin.
Peng Ze then stretched his meridians and began the massage.
Of course, he was not just massaging Lin Li's surface. His Guigu hand massage technique from the Guigu school required the coordination of true qi circulation. Otherwise, even if he massaged for ten days to half a month, Lin Li would not wake up.
Lin Li did indeed have some true qi within him, but the true qi he cultivated was different from that of ordinary martial artists.
His true qi was only suitable for healing and saving lives. If used for harming others, its effectiveness would be greatly reduced!
Peng Ze initiated the movement, pushing forward. A faint stream of qi flowed from his fingertips.
Seeing this, Chen Jie's gaze sharpened.
"Wait a moment!"
Peng Ze stopped and looked at Chen Jie in confusion.
Chen Jie said, "Your method of saving people is incorrect. Uncle Lin's condition is more severe than you imagine. Using your method will cause him to die within a short period!"
From the moment Peng Ze made his move, Chen Jie knew he had some skill.
However, when it came to saving Lin Li, he was still a bit short.
Peng Ze felt a little displeased. He was the 300th generation successor of Guiguzi. With his insight, he was certainly clear about Lin Li's symptoms. For Chen Jie to say that his method was wrong and the illness was more severe than he thought, wasn't that implying he was incapable of saving people and had misdiagnosed the illness?
Despite his displeasure, he did not show it outwardly.
"Hehe, Brother Chen, what do you mean by that? Have I not seen Uncle's true condition?"
Chen Jie said, "Don't rush to massage. Touch his pelvic joints with your hand!"
Hmm?
Chen Jie continued, "Don't hesitate. Since you said this isn't a competition, there's no need to adhere to the 'observation only' rule. It's always good to confirm!"
Although Peng Ze claimed it wasn't a competition and saving lives was paramount, both of them knew that there was still an underlying rivalry.
Now that he was being asked to touch, he had already lost a point.
Tang Yun immediately said, "Don't talk nonsense. What business is this of yours?"
Then she comforted Peng Ze, "Little Peng, don't listen to his ramblings. He doesn't know anything! We all believe in your abilities. You've already diagnosed Uncle's illness, there's no need for further confirmation. He's deliberately trying to appear profound and play mind games with you! Ignore him and start directly!"
Peng Ze also felt that way.
But upon careful consideration, if he ignored it, he would appear to be hiding something.
With this thought, he waved his hand, "Thank you, Auntie. However, I think Brother Chen is right. Treating illness is not a child's play, and I do need to confirm. To prevent any accidents."
"Oh, is that so!"
Confirming again wouldn't be a bad thing for him, so Tang Yun didn't object further.
Peng Ze took a deep breath, pulled up Lin Li's pants, and placed his hand on it.
The moment he pressed down, his eyes widened.
"How can this be?" he said instinctively.
What?
Was there really a sudden change?
Did Chen Jie actually guess correctly?
Lin Shuang looked at Chen Jie with surprise.
She knew Chen Jie indeed had the ability to save people, but she had thought Chen Jie's abilities were merely a byproduct of his cultivation!
Because his power was high, many skills would be easily mastered.
But the ability Chen Jie displayed now was different. He hadn't conducted a detailed examination of his father from beginning to end, yet he knew more than Peng Ze.
