The treatment began.
Everyone made space for Xiao Tian and Old Master Lin.
Qin Luo and others stood at the front of the crowd.
The former scanned Old Master Lin's body and immediately saw his critical condition.
It turned out to be a reversal of qi flow. Xiao Tian's previous intervention was aimed at gathering the scattered reversed qi from the meridians into one place.
However, this acupuncture technique was outdated, so it required multiple applications to complete the treatment.
But this was also due to the plot requirements of "Urban Son-in-Law Dragon King."
It's about making you endure some frustration first, so that when you finally break through, it feels even more satisfying.
Xiao Tian stood in front of Old Master Lin, placing his hand on the old man's pulse.
"Xiao... Xiao Tian... this old man is counting on you..." Old Master Lin opened his eyes and said to Xiao Tian, gasping for breath.
He chose to believe in Xiao Tian after all, since he was the next Dragon King arranged by the previous one.
It was only due to a calamity that he had been left with their Lin family for a full 6 years!
Xiao Tian had already finished examining Old Master Lin's entire body condition.
He then revealed a confident smile on his face: "Don't worry, Old Master Lin, I will definitely cure you."
"Huh, I hope it's as you say, otherwise, I will make you pay!" Lin Wanrong stood nearby, looking at Xiao Tian with a gloomy face.
The latter took a deep breath, feeling bitter inside.
Wanrong still doesn't believe in me even now.
But it doesn't matter, as long as I cure Old Master Lin, then...
All the doubts people have about me will no longer exist!
Thinking of this, his eyes became extremely determined, and then,
He reached out, waving both hands.
Swish swish swish!!
A total of seven silver needles shot out from his palms, constantly piercing into various parts of Old Master Lin's body.
Su Muwan's eyes narrowed.
Here it comes.
This was one of Xiao Tian's techniques from his previous life — Taichi Seven Needles!
It can help patients treat some difficult and complicated diseases by injecting qi!
In his previous life, Xiao Tian had saved Old Master Lin's life using this very needle technique!
However, the people around were not aware of this situation.
Seeing this scene, Lin Wanrong immediately screamed in terror, quickly stepping forward to grab Xiao Tian: "Xiao Tian, you useless trash, what are you trying to do!"
"Are you trying to kill my grandfather?"
Liu Li also shouted in horror: "This is outrageous!! A mere son-in-law of the Lin family dares to bite the hand that feeds him!!"
"Someone!! Pull that useless fool away!"
However,
Old Lady Lin saw through the situation and solemnly stopped them: "Wait."
"I know this state Xiao Tian is in, he's... in a trance."
As she spoke, Old Lady Lin kept her eyes on Xiao Tian.
Though Lin Wanrong was holding his arm, it didn't affect him at all.
Xiao Tian just kept focusing on Old Master Lin.
In a trance?
Lin Wanrong uncertainly let go of Xiao Tian.
This useless fool actually has this ability?
Because they had Old Master Lin in their Lin family, Lin Wanrong knew that martial arts and cultivation existed in this world.
So she had heard of the term "trance" before.
It was rumored that when a person focuses wholeheartedly on doing something, there's a chance of entering this state.
And now...
This useless fool had actually entered a trance state?
Could it be... this fool really has some skill?!
Liu Li also looked at Old Lady Lin in disbelief: "Mom, this useless fool couldn't really have the ability to treat Dad, could he?"
Hearing this, Old Lady Lin shook her head hesitantly: "I'm not sure, but since Xiao Tian has been emphasizing this all along, he might really have this ability."
Saying this, Old Lady Lin sighed: "It seems we... may have all underestimated this son-in-law."
The Lin family members... were stunned.
Could it be that they had misunderstood Xiao Tian all along?
On Qin Luo's side, he looked at Xiao Tian who was focused on treating Old Master Lin.
He couldn't help but curl his lips slightly.
According to the normal plot, Old Master Lin being cured was definitely a foregone conclusion.
But.
Qin Luo glanced at Su Muwan beside him.
Her expression was a bit uneasy, presumably not wanting Xiao Tian to steal the spotlight.
If that's the case.
Then let me, as a subordinate, make some moves.
Thinking of this, Qin Luo couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart.
Ah! Miss, oh Miss.
Where else could you find such a dedicated subordinate like me?
With a follower like me, you should count yourself lucky!
With this in mind, Qin Luo's eyes focused.
Hum!
Taixuan Thirteen Needles... activate!!
Beside him,
Su Muwan's expression was a bit uneasy.
Of course, it wasn't because Xiao Tian was about to cure Old Master Lin.
It was purely because she remembered some unpleasant memories from her previous life.
It was later, at Old Master Lin's birthday banquet, that Lin Wanrong still liked her childhood sweetheart, Young Master Wang.
So she announced at the banquet that she wanted to divorce Xiao Tian.
And it was on that day.
The six-year term had come to an end.
Xiao Tian's identity as the Dragon King... was revealed!
The revelation itself wasn't a problem.
But...
At that time, being the leader of the playboys, she naturally added fuel to the fire.
It directly led to Xiao Tian hating her from then on.
So...
Ah, let's not dwell on it. But it's still okay now.
As long as Xiao Tian calmly cures Old Master Lin.
Then she can cover up the fact that Qin Luo is a miracle doctor.
The premise is!
Su Muwan glared at Qin Luo, hoping this guy wouldn't make any unnecessary moves.
Oh?
The young miss looked at me, her gaze seeming somewhat dissatisfied.
Could it be that she's complaining I'm moving too slowly?
So impatient.
Tsk tsk, this young miss is really hard to serve.
But well, the necessary measures have already been taken, and next is...
Qin Luo leaned slightly to the side, lowering his voice to say to Su Muwan: "It's time for us to watch the show, young miss."
Su Muwan's heart trembled at this abrupt statement.
Hm? Why does this statement give me a chill?
At this moment.
Swish swish swish!!
Xiao Tian came out of his trance state, withdrawing the seven silver needles. He was now drenched in sweat.
Although it had consumed a large part of his qi, it was still okay, the treatment was finally over.
Then he looked around at the circle of relatives and friends looking at him with strange gazes.
His expression gradually became confident, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he stood up with full confidence and said: "I have cured Old Master Lin."
"He can be discharged from the hospital today."
Saying this, he looked at Lin Wanrong, reached out to take her hand, and said emotionally: "Wanrong, do you believe me now?"
This time Lin Wanrong didn't refuse, she looked at Old Master Lin on the sickbed whose complexion had obviously improved.
Her heart suddenly trembled.
Xiao Tian... really knows medical skills?!
Liu Li also didn't care about being shocked, she ran to Old Master Lin's bedside and called out softly: "Dad? Dad, are you okay?"
Everyone else looked over too.
Time passed second by second.
Old Master Lin still didn't speak.
Lin Wanrong was about to pull her hand out of Xiao Tian's palm, she asked hesitantly: "Xiao Tian, what's going on? Why hasn't my grandfather woken up yet?"
Hearing this,
Xiao Tian smiled confidently: "Don't worry, the treatment just ended, he will..."
"Cough cough!!"
"Pfft!!!"
Before he could finish speaking,
Xiao Tian's confident expression suddenly froze on his face.
Everyone looked towards the hospital bed.
Only to see,
Old Master Lin suddenly coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, his face looking terrible.
He widened his eyes, his expression painful, his eyes revealing an unbelievable meaning.
He pointed at Xiao Tian with a trembling finger, shouting in a weak voice: "Xiao Tian... you have such a vicious heart... you actually... forcibly extracted the qi from my body!!"
"Are you... trying to kill me..."
Old Master Lin couldn't believe it, and felt it was incredible.
This Xiao Tian actually drained all the qi from his body at this time, this was clearly an attempt to kill him!!
Combined with what Miss Su's follower said earlier.
Was this Xiao Tian's goal really for their Lin family's wealth?!
After he dies, who in his family could deal with Xiao Tian as the Dragon King?!
Very well, enduring humiliation for many years, so this was the purpose?!
Old Master Lin was now becoming delirious, his thoughts becoming a bit slow.
He didn't even think about how Xiao Tian, as the Dragon King, wouldn't need their Lin family's wealth.
And these words, like a huge stone falling into water, splashed a wave in the hospital room.
The Lin family members were furious.
"Xiao Tian!! You deserve to die!!"
"You worthless piece of trash! How dare you do such an inhuman thing!"
"You scum! If Old Master Lin dies, we'll make sure you go down with him!"
Xiao Tian's mind went completely blank.
He stared in shock at Old Master Lin, who was coughing up blood with his eyes closed.
"Impossible! This can't be happening!"
"My Taichi Seven Needles have never failed before! How could this be!"
He quickly turned to Lin Wanrong beside him: "Honey, you believe—"
Smack!!
Before he could finish, Lin Wanrong's angry slap met his face. She pulled her hand away from Xiao Tian's grasp and shouted: "You useless trash! How dare you deceive us!"
Lin Wanrong felt utterly despaired with Xiao Tian.
She never imagined that Xiao Tian would choose this critical moment to take revenge on their Lin family by harming Old Master Lin.
Old Lady Lin's face turned pale. Her eyes closed as she fell backwards.
The old woman... had misjudged him...
This useless man was indeed still useless.
It was all an act.
"Old Lady!"
"Grandmother!"
Lin Wanrong was already in tears. Something occurred to her.
She quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Su Muwan, begging: "Miss Su! Please! Please ask Master Qin to save my grandfather!"
Thud! Thud! Thud!!
The rest of the Lin family members also reacted.
One by one, they knelt down before Su Muwan with grief-stricken faces, wailing: "Miss Su!! Please save our Old Master Lin!!"
"You... I... He..."
Su Muwan was so stunned she couldn't speak.
In the end, she could only helplessly blink at Qin Luo: "Qin Luo, it's up to you now. Cure Old Master Lin!"
Damn it! How did things turn out like this?
Are your legs made of cotton? Kneeling down just like that?!
Waaah, Qin Luo, you absolutely must save him! Otherwise, I don't know how to handle this situation!
It would have been fine if I had just let them save him themselves earlier!!
Why did you have to come and get involved!!
"Yes, Miss. This servant guarantees to complete the mission!"
Qin Luo's body tensed when he heard Su Muwan's order.
Hm?
What's going on?
Suddenly, it felt like something extra appeared in his mind.
A mission directive was issued
[Received mission directive from villain target, detecting remaining loyalty value: 10]
[Does the host wish to use loyalty value to completely cure Old Master Lin?]
[Mission reward: 70% of the Lin family's assets!]
Huh??
So that's how loyalty value is used??
It can be directly used to complete tasks assigned by the villain target?
Qin Luo was dumbfounded as he listened, and there was even a mission reward.
In that case.
Time to put on the title of Number One Lackey.
Boom!
An overwhelming aura instantly erupted from Qin Luo's body.
It filled the Lin family members with immense confidence.
Even Su Muwan (the villain target was unaffected) was stunned.
What's going on? Why is everyone's eyes suddenly shining?
Xiao Tian stood by Old Master Lin's sickbed, watching Qin Luo approach. He instinctively said: "It's impossible. Wanrong, don't believe this guy. In this world..."
Smack!!
"Shut up."
Before he could finish, Qin Luo coldly raised his hand and slapped him to the ground.
Then, he looked down at him coldly and mocked: "A mere live-in son-in-law dares to put on airs in front of my Miss. I thought you were talented, but who knew..."
He shook his head with a cold laugh: "You're just a fool, making up stories about being a Dragon King and knowing medicine."
"Fortunately, my Miss has a pair of discerning eyes and informed me in advance to come along."
Upon hearing this, the Lin family members looked up at Su Muwan gratefully: "Thank you, Miss Su!"
Su Muwan's mouth twitched, revealing an indescribable smile: "Hehe..."
I didn't know I was this amazing.
Next, Qin Luo walked up to Old Master Lin and gently placed his hand on the old man's chest.
He shouted: "Wake up!"
Boom!
In an instant, a surge of energy that appeared extraordinarily powerful to ordinary people emerged from Qin Luo's palm.
It was a pure burst of true qi.
Qin Luo unleashed it in an instant, creating a grand spectacle.
Whoosh!!
Fierce winds howled through the hospital room, blowing the windows open with creaking sounds.
Everyone was shocked.
"Such skill! Master Qin is indeed a divine doctor!"
"That's right! Just now when that Xiao Tian did it, there wasn't even a bit of movement. What a load of rubbish! He's just a useless fraud!"
"Exactly! Thankfully we have Miss Su here! Now Old Master Lin's life is saved!"
Su Muwan silently watched Qin Luo as he worked.
Hey hey hey, if my twenty years of martial arts experience from my past life isn't wrong, this guy... is clearly just expelling his true qi to create an exaggerated illusion of grandeur, right?
If this could cure him, then that would be... would be... would be... Huh?!!
As she was thinking, Su Muwan's eyes suddenly widened.
Because.
She saw.
Old Master Lin, who had looked weak and pale just moments ago.
Now.
He suddenly sat up straight!
He stretched out his hands comfortably, his voice full of vigor, then looked around the hospital room with delight: "I... feel fifty years younger!"
The Lin family members' faces lit up with joy.
Xiao Tian's expression twisted in disbelief: !!
Qin Luo deliberately sweated, putting on an act of extreme exhaustion.
Then he stood with his hands behind his back, looked at Su Muwan, and smiled slightly: "Mission accomplished, Miss."
Now the Miss should be satisfied.
Su Muwan stared in bewilderment.
Hm?
Is this how the script is supposed to go?
