My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 204: The Loyal and Devoted Old Minister
"That won’t be necessary. Liu Changsheng is better than you," Yang Qi said nonchalantly. During his absence, Liu Changsheng had also come to hold consultations, so the National Medicine Clinic was rarely closed.
Just as Old Xu was about to speak, Yang Qi said, "Open your eyes and watch carefully!"
In front of everyone, Yang Qi waved his hand. Nine silver needles shot out. This move alone was enough to make the crowd gasp in astonishment. Then, the nine silver needles accurately pierced nine of the woman’s acupuncture points, forming a strange, dragon-like pattern.
Old Xu swallowed hard, trembling so much that he was at a loss for words. This needling technique was simply breathtaking. He didn’t know what kind of technique it was, but he could tell that the formation was incredibly miraculous. Piercing the body with nine needles simultaneously was something an ordinary person could never achieve. He hadn’t expected Yang Qi to be a Martial Arts master as well.
Three minutes later, Yang Qi shouted, "Rise!"
The nine silver needles instantly flew back to him. The woman opened her eyes, rubbed them, and then stood up.
"Dad, what happened to me?"
Although the woman looked somewhat listless, she was completely lucid. More importantly, she was truly standing there. She could even walk. Everyone was stunned speechless. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Li Qingyan covered her mouth, hardly able to believe what she was seeing.
Could it be? Could this young man really be that legendary Divine Doctor?
She was suddenly overcome with excitement. She had come to Kang City from Eagle Country precisely to find this Divine Doctor.
To think that after searching high and low for him with no luck, I’ve found him here without any effort at all.
"Damn, that was miraculous! Truly miraculous! He really lives up to his reputation! A peerless Divine Doctor!"
The woman’s family asked her several questions, and she answered fluently. They began to shout with excitement. She was really cured.
"Go over there to pay. One thousand yuan," Yang Qi said. "Also, here is a prescription. You can buy the medicine here or somewhere else. Give it to her. It’s mainly for recuperation. She was unconscious for too long, so her body is very weak."
The woman’s family thanked him profusely before going over to Ye Qianqian to scan the code and pay. After buying the medicine, they left.
Old Xu, however, was completely dumbfounded, looking as if he were frozen in place.
"Convinced! I’m convinced! I’m completely convinced!"
Old Xu repeated himself three times before bowing deeply. "Divine Doctor Yang truly lives up to his name. My previous speculations about you were utterly foolish. Your Medical Skills are comparable to the three great masters of National Medicine. I am thoroughly convinced."
Yang Qi looked at Fan Ruobing and said, "Bring it here."
Fan Ruobing angrily tore off the pendant and handed it to Yang Qi. "Useless! Absolutely useless! Get out! Our Shengren Hall doesn’t need trash like you!"
Old Xu’s body swayed, and he let out a long sigh, seeming to age several years in an instant.
"She may not want you, but I do!" Yang Qi glanced at Old Xu and said, "As it happens, my clinic is short-staffed. Are you interested?"
After all, Old Xu was a rather straightforward man, and his medical skills weren’t bad; otherwise, Shengren Hall would never have hired him. Having him as an assistant would be no problem at all.
"Yes, I’m very interested!" Old Xu nodded repeatedly.
Ye Qianqian was still too young, and there were many things she couldn’t help with. Old Xu was different. He could identify most illnesses and treat them effectively. This way, Yang Qi would only need to handle the difficult and unusual cases. Besides, treating common ailments offered a negligible boost to his cultivation.
"Alright, an hour has passed. That’s all for today’s treatment," Yang Qi announced. "Those who wish to stay and be treated by Old Xu may do so. The rest of you are free to go! Old Xu, take a good look at my treatment journal and study it well. Doctors, after all, must know how to be flexible. You can’t just rigidly apply everything you learn by rote!"
Yang Qi packed up his things and turned to leave. With the Wolf King and his men maintaining order, no one dared to stop him. Nobody wanted to offend Yang Qi, as it might mean they couldn’t get treatment from him in the future.
Just as Yang Qi got into his car, he saw a woman run over and block his path.
"Ms. Li, have you taken a liking to me?" Yang Qi joked.
"Who’s taken a liking to you? I want you to treat my illness!" Li Qingyan said.
"I’m hungry!" Yang Qi said, rubbing his stomach.
"My treat. Let’s go to Jade Hall!" Li Qingyan offered.
Kang City had several upscale restaurants. Sea View Pavilion was one, and Jade Hall was another. Sea View Pavilion belonged to the Lin Family of Jingzhou, while Jade Hall had belonged to the Qin Family. Now, however, it was Yang Qi’s. The average cost per person at Jade Hall was over ten thousand yuan. It was also membership-based, with the annual fee alone costing one hundred thousand. While not as expensive as Sea View Pavilion, it was still far from cheap. It wasn’t a place ordinary people could afford.
「Jade Hall」
A manager with a handlebar mustache and a treacherous-looking face was staring coldly at a man cowering in his seat. The man was timid, and both of his legs were clearly lame. It was obvious they had been broken in a beating, and not too long ago—a few months at most, probably.
Seeing this man, Yang Qi suddenly remembered what Ye Fei had told him. Recently, Qifei Group had been working hard to find the former loyal subordinates from Yang Qi’s old company. Those who had refused to betray him had all met with sorry fates. The Qin Family, the Kang City Business Alliance, and the Zhang Family had completely blacklisted them, making it impossible for them to find any work in Kang City unless they left town. But while some could leave, others could not.
Take the man before him, for example: Cao Zhendong.
Cao Zhendong had been a key figure in Yang Qi’s old company as the manager of the research department and the chief pharmacist. The research department had once had three core members. The other two were now working for the Kang City Business Alliance, living the good life. Only Cao Zhendong had been targeted for his refusal to betray his boss. Not only had his legs been broken, but he couldn’t even find a job. It was unclear how he was making a living now.
Yang Qi had been looking for Cao Zhendong, but the man seemed to have changed his name, so even Huang Borren hadn’t been able to find him. He never expected to run into him here today.
"You cur, trying to dine and dash at Jade Hall? Who gave you the nerve? You got a death wish?" the manager barked viciously at Cao Zhendong.
"I gave all my money to my wife. She said she had to run an errand and should be back soon!" Cao Zhendong pleaded weakly, his hands clasped together.
The Cao Zhendong of the past wasn’t like this. Back then, he was full of spirit and highly efficient, one of my most capable research assistants. So many great suggestions and ideas came from him. To think he’s been reduced to such a state.
"Cut the crap. Either pay up now or get on your knees by the door and act as a greeter for me," the manager sneered.
Yang Qi walked over. "I’ll pay his bill," he said, glancing coldly at the manager. "But you’re going to apologize to him."
"Boss Yang!" Cao Zhendong was utterly stunned to see Yang Qi. He never imagined he would run into his old boss here. And from the looks of it, Yang Qi was doing quite well for himself.
