Liu Cheng subconsciously looked at Third Master Qian. Although he admired Zhao Chen, he did not know if he should believe Zhao Chen after hearing what Meng Guohua said. Of course, the decision was in Third Master Qian’s hands.

Zhao Chen said, “Third Master, blink if you trust me.”

Third Master Qian had a complicated expression. He wanted to believe Zhao Chen, but this guy was too young. Even the pharmacy apprentices were older than him. Moreover, Meng Guohua had just said that even a TCM expert might not be able to treat him.

Thinking of this, Third Master Qian took a deep breath. Since even the TCM Grandmaster was unable to treat him, why not let this little guy give it a try? What if he really had a way to revive the dead?

Therefore, Third Master Qian blinked nervously.

“Since Third Master trusts me, I naturally won’t disappoint you.” Zhao Chen immediately took out the silver needle he carried with him. He waved it lightly and opened the needle bag to reveal a silver needle.

Meng Guohua frowned slightly. Although Zhao Chen was somewhat familiar with opening the needle bag, he was still too naive in his eyes. He did not believe that such a person could treat Third Master Qian’s brain disease. He cleared his throat and said, “Everyone, please bear witness that he is not a disciple of our Hui Chun Hall. If he can’t treat Third Master Qian, our Hui Chun Hall will not be held responsible.”

Zhao Chen’s expression was calm as he picked up the silver needles and pierced them into Third Master Qian’s Fengchi, Yintang, Zhangu, Tongtian, Shenzhen, Anmian, and Si Shencong acupuncture points. This time, he used a total of seven needles, and the seven needles were placed in the shape of the Big Dipper.

“Is this the legendary Seven Star Soul Locking Needle?” Meng Guohua looked at the seven silver needles on Third Master Qian’s head in disbelief as if he had seen a ghost. This was the legendary needle technique that had long disappeared.

Then, Zhao Chen inserted a silver needle into Third Master Qian’s Tianzhu acupuncture point, Hubei acupuncture point, and Wei acupuncture point. After doing all of this, he instantly felt that his strength had been drained. This was the first time he had inserted a needle into the patient’s brain. His mental strength was highly focused, so he naturally felt mentally exhausted when he suddenly relaxed.

What he could do next was to wait for Third Master Qian to recover.

In fact, Zhao Chen was a little rash this time. Even though he had obtained the Red Pine Inheritance, treating brain diseases and helping others increase milk supply were completely different. The worst outcome of helping others increase milk supply was to not produce any effect. However, treating brain diseases was a matter of life and death.

However, he had no choice this time. Third Master Qian was an existence on the level of a big shot in the underworld. If he could treat him, he would not have to be afraid even if Sun Dahai wanted to find trouble with him. After all, Sun Dahai was Third Master Qian’s underling.

Time slowly passed, and the atmosphere in Huichun Hall was even more oppressive.

“Why hasn’t my Third Master’s condition improved at all? Don’t tell me you’re using my Third Master to practice?” Liu Cheng widened his eyes angrily.

“Don’t be rude to my benefactor!”

Suddenly, Third Master Qian let out a weak voice.

Damn, did he really treat Third Master Qian?

Everyone seemed to have exploded and looked at Zhao Chen in awe.

“This little divine doctor’s medical skills are too impressive. He actually improved Third Master Qian’s condition in such a short period of time.”

“This is not ordinary. Have you all forgotten what Master Meng said? Brain inflation is a disease that even the experts of TCM are helpless against!”

“The new generation surpasses the old!”

As everyone praised, Zhao Chen took off the silver needles on Third Master Qian’s head one after another.

Third Master Qian was helped up and looked at Zhao Chen gratefully. “I’ll repay you for saving my life. How should I address you?”

Zhao Chen’s heart fell to the ground and he said casually, “Third Master, just call me Zhao Chen.”

“I’ll call you Brother Zhao. May I ask if you can give me your contact number?” Third Master Qian was very polite. Even the pugilists cared about returning favors. Moreover, Zhao Chen had just saved his life.

“Sure.” Zhao Chen exchanged phone numbers with Third Master Qian without thinking and was about to leave with the medicinal herbs he had bought.

Meng Guohua blocked his way and knelt in front of Zhao Chen under everyone’s shocked gazes. “Master, please accept me as your disciple.”

Zhao Chen asked, “Are you worthy?”

A pin-drop silence fell in the clinic.

Everyone felt their scalps tingle and their hair stand on end.

What was this guy talking about?

Did he think that Meng Guohua was not worthy of being his disciple?

Although Zhao Chen had just treated Third Master Qian, Meng Guohua was a famous master in the TCM world. How could he refuse Meng Guohua’s invitation to become his disciple? Wasn’t he looking down on Meng Guohua too much?

Meng Guohua was stunned on the spot. Zhao Chen’s words were not hurtful, but they were extremely insulting, making him want to find a hole to hide in.

Zhao Chen left the pharmacy indifferently under everyone’s shocked gazes and rode the public bike to the clothing factory.

Instead of taking in a doctor who did not have any medical ethics as his disciple, he wanted to go back and brew some medicinal liquid to help Su Qianxia tide over this crisis.

…

“Zhao Chen, I read the weather forecast just now. The temperature in the province will start to rise tomorrow. The temperature will even reach 38 degrees Celsius. Do you have a way to resist the high temperature here?” Su Qianxia walked into the infirmary. When she saw that the infirmary was empty, she felt as if a string had suddenly snapped in her heart.

Not only was the infirmary empty, but even her heart had become empty. The loneliness made her unable to return to her senses for a long time.

“Is he really gone?”

Su Qianxia’s face was pale. She was already used to being alone and feeling like she had been abandoned by this world.

However, at noon today, when Zhao Chen stood in front of her to resist Sun Dahai, his appearance was deeply imprinted in her heart. Although she fired him for his own good, she only realized how childish her words were after she calmed down.

Now that they were in a lawful society, Sun Dahai and the others couldn’t possibly commit murder and arson, right?

That was why Su Qianxia went to the infirmary. She wanted to assign a mission for Zhao Chen and act as if nothing had happened. However, she did not expect him to have already left.

“Men are really unreliable. They keep saying that they wouldn’t leave, but then they would just leave without even saying goodbye. Zhao Chen, you’re a bastard,” Su Qianxia screamed, feeling extremely frustrated.

Zhi!

With the sound of the door being pushed open, Zhao Chen appeared behind Su Qianxia with an innocent expression. “Sister Xia, I didn’t do anything wrong, did I? How could you scold me behind my back? Those who don’t know might think that I abandoned you.”

“You didn’t leave?” Su Qianxia suddenly turned around, her eyes filled with joy..
