"May I ask how you discovered his aortic dissection?" Peng Ze asked again.
If he could master Chen Jie's method, his medical skills would surely improve.
After all, Chen Jie had never touched Lin Li from beginning to end.
Whereas he only learned about Lin Li's tumor through touch.
Even so, Chen Jie could see things he couldn't.
In this regard alone, Chen Jie was far superior to him.
Tang Yun heard this and couldn't help but ask, "Exactly? Kid, what do you mean? Since you've already discovered it, why didn't you say so earlier? Aren't you treating human lives with disregard? Did you do it on purpose?"
Peng Ze said, "Auntie, you can't blame Brother Chen. After all, this kind of illness is very dangerous in our eyes, but in Brother Chen's eyes, it might just be a trivial matter. He didn't need to point it out, and moreover, he might have discovered the abnormality earlier but hadn't confirmed it yet."
Chen Jie nodded secretly, thinking Peng Ze was not bad.
However, he had indeed known for a long time.
Because he possessed divine sense, which could penetrate the human body and observe problems that even instruments couldn't detect.
Therefore, Lin Li's condition was as transparent as glass before him.
Completely visible.
"As Peng Ze said, this kind of problem is merely child's play in my eyes. It makes no difference whether I say it or not," Chen Jie said.
"You truly don't know what humility is!" Tang Yun sneered.
"Mom, how can you say that? Brother Chen just saved my dad's life!"
Lin Shuang said indignantly.
"Saved? Was it completely saved?" Tang Yun asked.
Chen Jie ignored Tang Yun and said to Peng Ze, "You can't learn my abilities. It's useless to tell you."
Peng Ze looked crestfallen.
He couldn't help but ask again, "This aortic dissection, as far as I know, requires hospitalization and surgical intervention, right?"
He believed that his current medical skills couldn't solve this problem.
He assumed all traditional Chinese medicine practitioners felt the same.
"Not at all! To treat this condition, all that's needed is acupuncture!" Chen Jie said.
"What? There's such a miraculous acupuncture technique?"
Peng Ze exclaimed, "The specialty of my Guiguzi sect is Guiguzi Hand! But I haven't practiced it to a profound level yet, and I'm powerless against such symptoms. Does Brother Chen have a better method?"
"Just watch!"
Chen Jie took out his silver needles again: "What I'm going to use today is precisely the Guiguzi Needle from your Guiguzi sect!"
"What? Are you kidding? When did our Guiguzi lineage have this acupuncture technique?"
He felt Chen Jie was talking nonsense. As a descendant of Guiguzi, he didn't know Guiguzi practiced acupuncture, yet Chen Jie claimed there was a technique called Guiguzi Needle?
It was equivalent to an outsider telling him that he knew something within his own lineage that even he didn't know.
It seemed impossible.
"The Guiguzi, who has been passed down for thousands of years, holds many secrets. It's quite normal for some secret techniques to be lost. Well, today I will let you witness this so-called Guiguzi Needle!"
Chen Jie waved his hand, and all the silver needles were drawn to his hand.
Then, he gently twirled his hand, and a silver needle shot into Lin Li's body out of thin air.
"This Guiguzi Needle, the first needle is to seal acupoints! It seals all acupoints on the patient's body."
The term "one needle" didn't refer to a single needle but rather a set of acupuncture techniques.
As multiple silver needles were inserted into various acupoints on Lin Li's body, Lin Li immediately stiffened and lost consciousness.
"The second needle is the Needle of Opening the Senses!"
More silver needles flew out.
Chen Jie's finger-flicking technique alone made ordinary people dizzy.
Even Peng Ze was stunned.
After a while, Chen Jie finished his acupuncture. Then, with a decisive movement, Chen Jie stretched out his hand, and all the silver needles on Lin Li's body left him and flew into Chen Jie's hand.
Lin Li suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.
"I'm cured?"
Peng Ze looked at Chen Jie with a complex expression.
"I thought my medical skills were already superb, but I never expected there were people beyond people, heavens beyond heavens..."
"I don't deserve to be called the 300th generation descendant of Guiguzi..."
Peng Ze was filled with remorse.
As a descendant, he knew less than an outsider.
To him, it was a blatant insult.
"Brother Chen, you are right! Compared to you, I am just a weakling! Not worth mentioning! Farewell! From now on, I will never appear before you again..."
With that, Peng Ze walked away.
Chen Jie was extremely surprised.
As a descendant of Guiguzi, Chen Jie had intended to teach this lost acupuncture technique to Peng Ze, but the other party left without a word.
However, on second thought, perhaps he felt too embarrassed and that's why he didn't mention it.
Chen Jie shook his head.
He didn't care anyway.
"Chen Jie, I didn't expect you to save my life," Lin Li said to Chen Jie with guilt.
At this moment, his gaze towards Chen Jie was no longer distant.
After all, Chen Jie was his savior.
Without Chen Jie today, he might have been doomed.
"Your father and I have some connection. With your father's life in danger, I naturally wouldn't stand by and do nothing. You don't need to worry about this, Uncle," Chen Jie said with a smile.
"Um, about your engagement with Lin Shuang..."
Lin Li said awkwardly.
"It's fine..."
Seeing his hesitation, Chen Jie thought he was still trying to find ways to break off the engagement.
So Chen Jie said frankly, "Uncle, you don't need to do this. If you don't want Lin Shuang and me to fulfill the engagement, just say it directly. I won't make things difficult for you!"
"Chen Jie, that's not what I meant!"
Lin Li said, "If it were just about breaking off the engagement with you, I wouldn't need to do this. As long as I disavow it, that's enough. Actually, I have other intentions!"
Chen Jie was surprised, "Oh? What intentions?"
"This goes back to our unfinished conversation!"
Lin Li fell into a daze of recollection. "More than ten years ago, your grandfather found us and said that Lin Shuang had excellent talent and was very suitable to be a martial artist, so he taught her a set of cultivation techniques. The intention was for us to make an engagement with you!"
"At that time, we were just an insignificant family."
"Since then, our Lin family's endeavors have gone smoothly until we reached our current scale."
Lin Li looked at Chen Jie and said, "Chen Jie, I hadn't even met you then. No matter how great the conditions your grandfather offered, I wouldn't have easily agreed to decide my daughter's fate for twenty years! But I finally agreed. Why do you think I did that?"
Lin Shuang listened intently. It was the first time she had heard her father talk about such a thing.
Chen Jie was also puzzled.
"It wasn't that I was tempted by great rewards and planned to break the engagement after developing and growing stronger. It was that your grandfather agreed to another condition for us!"
"What condition?" Chen Jie quickly asked.
