"This..." Zin Shi did not dare to believe what she was seeing right now. The child, who convulsed violently just a while ago, was now sleeping soundly as if he was having a good dream. What the hell had happened?
As someone who also studied the Arts of Medicine, she knew that the acupoint in the forehead was considered to be a taboo, something not to be touched as this was connecting a vital spot inside the brain. Experts of the Physician Guild had always reminded everyone not to touch the mau acupoint, which located in the middle of the forehead. Once this was touched even by a slight touch from a needle, it would create abnormal reactions for the body and it might kill the victim. In fact, even the experts of the Physician Guild was not daring enough to touch this acupoint.
But today, someone broke that rule and even saved the little guy. If the people around were not shocked at its finest, then they were all abnormal. What's more, everyone can determine that the child was really cured and saved, so no need to mention the shock it had brought upon them.
But the more that was affected was Senior Liu, who was waiting for Jin Rou's demise just a while ago. The scenario that played was not within his expectations, turning a 360 degree to the desired situation. He was supposed to rain insults to Jin Rou to satisfy himself. However, the reality was cruel to him.
"Your kid is now fine. He just needs to rest for a while to recover his strength." Jin Rou said as he pulverized the needled he used to cure the child and had the box of needles closed.
"My son... is saved?" The mother unconsciously turned her sight towards her child who was sleeping soundly and realized that Jin Rou was right. She was in a daze a while ago as she could not absorb everything that happened, she wept again and kneeled on the ground facing the feet of Jin Rou saying, "Benefactor, t-t-thank you... Please name your price."
The kneeling of this woman astounded everyone in the hall. Even the master physicians of the guild were now lurking in the shadows watching the entire scene. No, in fact, they were already lurking in the shadows when Jin Rou started to cure the child.
"No need to pay me." Jin Rou smiled and propped her up, "Saving your child did not cause me any trouble at all. Just see that as my gift to your child."
"No, you are our benefactor. I will be uneasy if I did not pay you. Truth be told, I really don't care about my money. As long as my child is alive, just some little savings for his future and our living will do." The mother said as she looked at her child sleeping soundly.
"But..." Jin Rou wanted to reject it again. However, seeing the determined expression of the mother, he just said, "Fine. Just pay me the price that normally worth the treatment."
"Then please receive this card as my downpayment. It contains 10,000 rubies. I know it's not yet enough, but rest assured that I will be back here tomorrow morning to get the rest of my money. If you want, I can let my child stay in a room here first as an assurance that I will not run away." The mother said in a struggle. As a matter of fact, she did not want to make her child as the collateral, however, this young man in front of her was her child's benefactor. Wouldn't it be ungrateful of her if she displeased him?
"No need. This is enough." Jin Rou shook his head, "Take your child with you to rest at home. He needs a comfortable environment to recover faster. Don't worry, the disease was totally cured and it won't get back."
"But..."
"No buts. I accept this card as the payment and you're already fully paid." Jin Rou said.
"If this is really whatyou want, then I humbly thank you, our great benefactor." After a moment of struggling of her thoughts, she finally gave in and bowed her head, "If ever you, our benefactor, wished some help, I am Li Zuo and I am an elder of Terrace Everland Pavilion. Just seek for me there and I will help you with all of my strength."
"Terrace Everland Pavilion!" Everyone in the hall was shocked again as they heard the words of this woman. She was an elder of the Terrace Everland Pavilion? No one had ever expected that this woman who was showing weakness a while ago was a big shot in the cultivation world!
One should know that the Terrace Everland Pavilion was a power that nurtured two Immortal Emperors and was said that they were still alive! Two Immortal Emperors watching the Terrace Everland Pavilion? That's a scary thing to think of! After all, Immortal Emperors were the peak of the cultivators here and everybody sought for this power.
Senior Liu could not help but gulp a mouthful of saliva as he heard everything. He did not expect that this woman had a terrifying identity that even the Physician Guild would not dare to offend! In fact, even the master physicians lurking in the shadows were stumped as they heard this. This woman was good at covering her identity at all. If they had just known that this woman had this identity, they would have all presented themselves to get to the good side of this woman. Now they understood why she was audacious enough to insult their guild right in their own territory.
Soon, the woman changed her attitude in just a bat of an eye. She was now like a proud being, standing and looking at everyone here except Jin Rou like they were mere ants. She embraced her child and carried their steps toward the door. Before she entirely left, she looked at the pale white Senior Liu and said, "You are called Senior Liu, right? Foolish being. If I have believed you, I would have lost my child already. I will remember you, definitely remember you. With just strength of puny eighth stage of Overlord Realm, you thought that you're already high enough? Heh."
And walked away, disappearing in everyone's sight.
