    70: Chapter 70: Unable to Die With Eyes Closed?

    “‘Is Professor Liang talking about the one known as the number one miraculous doctor in Jiang Province, Doctor Feng Yishou, the divine physician?''” Su Bingran, who had not spoken up until now, asked in a low voice after hearing Professor Liang’s words.

    “You’re right, Third Master Su, it is indeed that Physician Feng.

    However, given the current condition of Elder Su, even if Feng Yishou himself were to come, it would be beyond his power to turn the tide!” With that one sentence, Professor Liang extinguished once more the glimmer of hope that had just been kindled among the Su family members!

    “So, kid, if you know what’s good for you, you’d better step aside and stop embarrassing yourself here.

    If you can cure Elder Su, not only will Su Er kneel before you, I myself will kneel down, and even accept you as my master!”

    Professor Liang looked at Bai Xiaofan with arrogant disdain.

    Such a divine physician as Feng Yishou, who had devoted several decades to his studies to achieve today’s accomplishments, was not someone a young man like Bai Xiaofan, barely in his twenties—even if knowledgeable in traditional Chinese medicine—could rival with his modest smatterings of knowledge!

    “If you wish to become a disciple, young master here isn’t even keen on accepting you.

    Roll aside and stand there; don’t interfere with my medical practice!” Bai Xiaofan replied disdainfully before turning to Su Shiqi behind him.

    “Shiqi sister, come and help me undo the buttons of Elder Su’s clothing.

    I need to give him acupuncture, and there can’t be any obstruction from clothing!”

    Su Shiqi hurriedly came over and did as Bai Xiaofan requested, unfastening the buttons on Elder Su’s garment.

    Then she looked at Bai Xiaofan with concern, “Xiaofan, if it doesn’t work, there’s no need to force it!”

    “Sister Shiqi, a man cannot say it’s impossible.

    Besides, I’m very strong.

    Perhaps you would like to try sometime, huh?” Bai Xiaofan replied with a slight smile and a quirk of his eyebrow.

    “Try your sister, jerk!” Su Shiqi clenched her teeth, really wanting to slap Bai Xiaofan.

    This jerk, even in such a situation, was still thinking about taking advantage of her.

    Bai Xiaofan laughed for a moment; he did indeed want to try with Xin’er, but he feared Xin’er would kill him.

    Gathering his focus, Bai Xiaofan concentrated all his attention on Elder Su, a faint blue light flickering in his eyes as the condition inside Elder Su’s body clearly appeared before him.

    Seeing Bai Xiaofan seated there with his silver needles, both Professor Liang and Su Dali shook their heads in disdain, assuming Bai Xiaofan simply did not know where to begin.

    However, just as they had that thought, Bai Xiaofan made his move.

    One after another, the silver needles were swiftly pinched and plunged into Elder Su’s body like lightning.

    Dazzlingly fast!

    Watching Bai Xiaofan’s needles fall as if racing against time, Professor Liang’s mocking smile grew thicker.

    He had seen Physician Feng Yishou perform acupuncture, and it was always very, very slow—nothing like Bai Xiaofan’s rapid technique.

    Just as he was about to voice his mockery, he suddenly froze, disbelief gradually rising in his expression.

    His old eyes brightened considerably and widened in shock.

    The Seven Saints Needles!!

    This was the legendary, long-lost Seven Saints Needles!

    How could this be possible?

    How could it be?

    He had seen this needling technique only once by chance in an ancient text, and even then, it was just a fragmentary version!

    He could affirm that this was the legendary Seven Saints Needles because he recognized the arrangement of the silver needles on Elder Su’s body!

    It was the pattern of the Big Dipper; the Seven Saints Needles were arranged just like that!

    According to the records, the Seven Saints Needles consisted of seven cycles of forty-nine days, during which seven needles could be placed with each cycle, forming a pattern resembling the Big Dipper!

    It’s not just that no one can perform the Saintly Seven Needles, even those who have mastered it can usually only perform one cycle of the technique.

    If one can perform three cycles, that person is definitely considered a divine physician, even surpassing the medical skills of Feng Yishou!

    Yet, before them, Bai Xiaofan had not only learned the long-lost Saintly Seven Needles but had also performed three cycles in one go.

    This... this was simply too incredible to believe!

    Could it be...

    Could it be that Bai Xiaofan’s medical skills have surpassed Feng Yishou?

    However, that was not all, for after completing the needles for three cycles, Bai Xiaofan had begun to place the twenty-second silver needle, starting the fourth cycle as well.

    “Hmph, even if my father were not dead, he might well have been killed by your meddling, and I will not only make you kneel and beg for mercy but also make you pay a terrible price for my father’s death!”

    “Right, Shiqi, you might as well tell your friend that your grandfather is already dead, don’t let him die with his eyes open!” Su Bingran joined in with Su Dali’s words, trying to persuade Su Shiqi.

    “I believe in Xiaofan!” Su Shiqi glanced at the two uncles and firmly declared.

    “You believe?

    What good does your belief do?

    Anyway, your friend has already killed the old master.

    I will surely make him pay with his life.

    Besides, even Professor Liang couldn’t save him.

    What can this penniless kid do?” Su Dali snorted coldly, speaking with disrespect.

    “Don’t worry, if Xiaofan does not revive grandfather, I won’t let him bear any blame.

    You just want the family property, right?

    I’ll give you all the inheritance left by grandfather, and then I will leave with Xiaofan for good!”

    Turning her head, Su Shiqi looked coldly at Su Dali and spoke deliberately, her words devoid of any emotion.

    “Big brother, let me be the first to congratulate you here!”

    “Little sister also congratulates big brother, I believe our Su family will surely step further under your leadership!”

    Hearing the flattery of Su Bingran and Su Qiuyue, Su Dali’s smile of triumph was unmistakable.

    He waved at them and then walked up to Professor Liang.

    “Professor Liang, I hereby formally invite you to become the family physician of the Su family!”

    Professor Liang glanced coldly at Su Dali, pushed him away with one hand, and commanded in a deep voice, “Shut up, no one is to disturb Mr.

    Bai’s treatment of Elder Su!”

    Everyone was shocked by Professor Liang’s out-of-character behaviour, failing to understand why he was acting this way.

    “Professor Liang, you...” Su Dali asked, not understanding.

    “Hmph, dare to disturb Mr.

    Bai’s treatment again, and don’t blame me for being ruthless!” Professor Liang barked his warning, then turned back, trembling as he watched Bai Xiaofan, who was treating the patient at that moment.

    The fourth cycle of the Saintly Seven Needles was already five needles in!

    It was truly astonishing...

    Professor Liang had keen insight.

    He knew that when the third cycle of the Saintly Seven Needles had ended, Elder Su’s life had been saved.

    The fourth cycle that Bai Xiaofan was performing was to expel the remaining toxins from Elder Su’s body, snatching his life back from King Yan himself!

    But as Su Dali watched Professor Liang, who was ignoring him, his eyes filled with extreme malice.

    This damned old man dared to treat him this way!

    However, remembering Professor Liang’s built-up connections over the years, Su Dali dismissed the idea of making him disappeared.
