Supernatural Insight Eyes-Chapter 120 - 0118 Silver Needle Hanging Life

"Are you so sure that you can cure the old master’s illness? If you can do that, I agree to your three conditions!"

Shangguan Dao’s gaze seemed to penetrate directly into Ye Qiu’s heart, seeing through everything he was thinking.

Ye Qiu lifted his eyelids and said indifferently, "You can choose not to believe me, and I will just leave right now."

Shangguan Dao’s expression was constantly changing. Ye Qiu behaved so confidently because the condition of the old master was evident, having been seen by many famous doctors to no avail. It was only from the director’s words that there was such a person with a lost technique of silver needle application that might solve the old master’s illness.

Shangguan Dao’s eyes fixed directly on Ye Qiu’s gaze. Eventually, Shangguan Dao let go of his stern face and compromised to Ye Qiu’s demands, conceding, "Fine, as long as it’s not too much, I, Shangguan Dao, can fulfill it. I will agree to what you ask." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Ye Qiu suddenly revealed a hint of a smile, stepped forward, and patted Shangguan Dao on the shoulder, leisurely saying, "I knew you would agree." He then gave Shangguan Dao a radiant smile.

Shangguan Dao frowned, not liking Ye Qiu’s smug demeanor, but he still endured it, as he ultimately needed this man to cure the old master’s illness.

Holding his nose, suppressing his anger, Shangguan Dao tried to calm himself down and said coolly, "Treat the old master first, regarding the conditions you mentioned, we can discuss those later."

Ye Qiu didn’t mind; his conditions were made up on the spot. Given that the Shangguan family wielded no small influence, he saw an opportunity to solve some of his issues. In fact, even if Shangguan Dao had disagreed, Ye Qiu would have intervened regardless because he did not wish to see Shangguan Hong distressed by her grandfather’s suffering or sacrificing her happiness.

If Shangguan Dao knew Ye Qiu’s true thoughts at that moment, he probably would have been angry enough to punch through a wall.

Shangguan Hong turned and followed Ye Qiu back to the old master’s room. Shangguan Hong whispered, "You did that on purpose, didn’t you?"

Ye Qiu’s eyes shifted; he hadn’t expected Shangguan Hong to notice. He cleared his throat and asked, "How did you know?"

"Hmph." Shangguan Hong glared at Ye Qiu and said, "Because he’s my grandfather. I don’t believe you would stand by and do nothing."

"Smart!" Ye Qiu clapped his hand, "Miss Shangguan is indeed smart and clever, knowing that I wouldn’t ignore it just because of you. It’s still the mature Shangguan Hong, after all!"

Listening to Ye Qiu intentionally flattering her, Shangguan Hong proudly lifted her chin and spat disdainfully, "Let’s go, grandfather’s illness is in your hands now."

Upon returning to the old master’s room, Shangguan Dao and other members of the Shangguan family quickly followed, filling the room once again to its brim.

"Is he really the Divine Doctor that Director Wang mentioned?" Watching Ye Qiu check and diagnose the old master, Shangguan Hong’s sister-in-law expressed her skepticism, still finding it hard to believe that this young man, whom she had previously looked down upon, was actually a Divine Doctor.

"Dao, are you sure about this man?" As one of the influential women in the Shangguan family, Shangguan Hong’s aunt, Shangguan Shu spoke out. Shangguan Dao was raised almost single-handedly by her, and even though he wasn’t her biological child, she had always treated him as her own.

"Mother, rest assured, this man wouldn’t dare to do anything inappropriate, or else I wouldn’t let him leave here alive," Shangguan Dao said.

Hearing Shangguan Dao’s words, the family had no choice but to permit Ye Qiu to treat the old master, with only the sister-in-law continuing to underestimate and question Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu, already annoyed by the sister-in-law’s attitude, suddenly turned and said, "I can’t be disturbed while treating, otherwise if I diagnose the illness wrongly, it could kill the old master. Who would bear that fault?"

Upon hearing this, the room instantly fell silent, especially as Ye Qiu intentionally let his gaze linger on Shangguan Hong’s sister-in-law. Under the scrutinizing eyes of the family, the bold woman had no choice but to shut up and quiet down, glowering at Ye Qiu and turning her head away in dissatisfaction.

As Ye Qiu and Shangguan Hong’s eyes crossed each other, Shangguan Hong’s face revealed a smile as radiant as a blossoming flower.

It seemed that she understood Ye Qiu was standing up for her by deliberately finding fault with her sister-in-law.

All eyes were fixed on Ye Qiu, who was taking the pulse. His eyes moved back and forth, as if contemplating how to address the old man’s illness.

From the pulse, it could be seen that the old man’s pulse was faint and utterly irregular, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, unpredictable.

Ye Qiu glanced at the old man’s complexion. Unlike other patients, his face was not waxen or pale; rather, it had a rosy glow.

If judged merely by his complexion, the old man appeared very healthy, not at all like someone with a terminal illness.

About ten minutes later, Ye Qiu slowly stood up, having thoroughly assessed the old man’s condition.

"Bring a basin of hot water," Ye Qiu instructed.

Upon hearing Ye Qiu’s words, the Shangguan family members all instinctively paused. Shangguan Dao was the first to speak, commanding a servant, "Go and quickly bring a basin of hot water."

"Hold on, I haven’t specified the temperature yet. If it doesn’t meet my requirements, it won’t be effective," Ye Qiu added.

Ye Qiu spoke leisurely, "The water temperature should be forty-two degrees, not a degree hotter, nor a degree cooler. Any deviation, and the effectiveness of my treatment will be significantly compromised."

"Got it, did you write that down?" Shangguan Dao asked the servant.

"I’ve got it, I’ve got it."

"You got it, then why aren’t you hurrying?" Shangguan Dao grunted.

Ye Qiu watched with a smile as the servant quickly went to prepare the hot water and glanced again at the Shangguan family members standing behind, "In a while, I will be using silver needles to puncture acupoints to sustain the old man’s life. I do not wish to be disturbed; thus, those who are not involved should wait outside."

After Ye Qiu had spoken, the members of the Shangguan family did not move. Ye Qiu’s gaze swept over them all, "Did you not understand what I said? Do I need to repeat myself?"

"Alright, everyone who is not needed, please wait outside," Shangguan Dao said, taking the lead out of the room. His sister-in-law snorted coldly, displeased with Ye Qiu’s unashamed commands to her Shangguan family members, yet there was nothing she could do but turn and leave the room.

Suddenly, the room was left with only Ye Qiu, Shangguan Hong, and two servants.

"I don’t need to go out, do I?" Shangguan Hong said with a smile.

"Of course not," responded Ye Qiu.

"You really act as if you’re holding an imperial scepter. Our family wouldn’t dare disobey you," Shangguan Hong remarked with a scornful expression.

Ye Qiu chuckled, "Since I have this advantage, naturally, I must make good use of it, and it can also vent some frustration for you."

Shangguan Hong heard this, but it struck a chord in her heart. This man in front of her was indeed thinking about venting her frustrations.

"Cough, cough!" Ye Qiu coughed, snapping Shangguan Hong out of her reverie, and said, "I’m going to use the silver needles now, do not disturb me."

"Hmm," Shangguan Hong quietly murmured, her gaze following Ye Qiu’s figure, her thoughts once again drifting into disarray.
