The joyous moments turned out to be so short-lived, and now it was time for Wen Xin to leave again…
Wen Xin took out her phone and opened the WeChat app to add a friend. “Uncle Wen, let’s exchange WeChat contacts. I’ll send you my contact information and my current address.”
After adding the butler as a friend, Wen Xin took the items prepared by the butler. She retracted the coldness in her eyes and swept her gaze across the manor.
“Uncle Wen, please have my room cleaned up earlier. I’ll be back with Wen Huai for New Year’s Eve. Let’s celebrate the New Year together.”
Wen Xin’s words shocked the butler so much that he nodded repeatedly. He had finally waited for the Eldest Miss and the Little Master to return home…The Wen Family was back.
Just as Wen Xin entered Zhuge Jingming’s clinic, the clinic staff recognized her immediately. Yan Lin saw Wen Xin and promptly invited her into the clinic. “Miss Wen, Master said that everything you asked for is ready. Let me take you in.”
Wen Xin nodded and walked into the treatment room ahead of Yan Lin, who followed respectfully behind.
Upon entering the treatment room, Wen Xin saw a person standing behind Zhuge Jingming, holding silver needles, but hesitating to use them.
“Grandmaster, why don’t I get my master to come? The acupoints you’re targeting are too tricky. I’m afraid…”
The man looked nervously at Zhuge Jingming, worried that he might accidentally hurt him with the needles.
“Martial Uncle Yan Lin, your timing is perfect. Master said his shoulders feel weak and asked me to administer acupuncture. You know I specialize in integrated Chinese and Western medicine, and I’m not very proficient in acupuncture… I’m afraid…”
The man looked at Yan Lin in distress. He had come to help, but being asked to administer acupuncture right after arriving, especially to Zhuge Jingming, was a daunting task.
Seeing the man’s cautious demeanor, Wen Xin narrowed her eyes. “What? Is this what the Green Physician Sect has come to? Are there still people who don’t know acupuncture?”
The Green Physician Sect was renowned for its acupuncture techniques, which had remained unchallenged in the medical field for many years.
And yet, there were still people who couldn’t perform acupuncture—a truly surprising phenomenon, wasn’t it?
“Wen… ah… Miss Wen, please take a look. Since yesterday, my arm has been difficult to lift, and moving my neck causes severe pain. Could you please help me…”
Zhuge Jingming had known when Wen Xin entered, but he hesitated to speak, fearing he might startle the person behind him.
Wen Xin put her phone in her pocket and gave Zhuge Jingming a casual glance.
She then took three needles from the needle box.
With skillful hands, she unpacked the acupuncture needles without checking Zhuge Jingming’s meridians, and casually inserted the three needles into his body.
Instantly, a tingling sensation spread throughout Zhuge Jingming’s body, and his expression became somewhat strange.
“Master, are you… are you alright?” Yan Lin walked worriedly to Zhuge Jingming’s side. He knew Wen Xin was highly skilled in medicine, but seeing such a reaction after the needle insertion was a first for him.
Zhuge Jingming couldn’t move his body at all, but he blinked at Yan Lin, indicating that he was fine and actually felt very comfortable, with his meridians cleared.
Wen Xin sat down on a nearby chair, casually picked up an ancient book, and flipped through it with calmness. She spoke in a composed tone, “In the Green Physician Sect, one’s medical skills may not need to be exceptional, but proficiency in acupuncture is a must. You must be a graduate of a medical university, right?”
The man standing behind Zhuge Jingming hesitated for a moment upon hearing Wen Xin’s words. Reluctantly, he spoke, “It’s none of your concern. I’m currently striving to learn acupuncture, but… I just don’t have the talent.”
“Talent… is indeed important… but it’s not an excuse for not learning. Study hard. If you fail the Green Physician Sect assessment in six months, there’s no need for you to stay here.”
Wen Xin’s voice was not loud, but it struck a chord with the man and Yan Lin. They knew that the hospital of the Green Physician Sect would be established in six months, but they hadn’t heard about the assessment yet.
“Miss Wen… this assessment…” Yan Lin knew Miss Wen’s medical skills were superb, and he also knew that Zhuge Jingming showed extreme respect to Wen Xin, following her instructions without question. Therefore, he was very curious about Wen Xin’s identity…
“The assessment will take place one week before the hospital is established. As for the content of the assessment, it will naturally involve theoretical knowledge combined with practical skills. When the time comes, you will know what the assessment entails.”
After about five minutes had passed, Wen Xin stood up, walked to Zhuge Jingming’s side, and removed the silver needle from his neck.
She then casually slapped the book in her hand on the other man’s chest. “This book will be useful for you. Whether it’s traditional Chinese medicine or integrated Chinese and Western medicine, acupuncture is an essential tool in your medical practice. Take this situation, for example: taking medication would alleviate symptoms in at least three days, but with acupuncture, five minutes is enough.”
As Wen Xin finished speaking, she removed the last silver needle from Zhuge Jingming’s body.
“Comfortable…” Zhuge Jingming felt his whole body relaxed and comfortable, stretching lazily.
The two men beside him looked at Zhuge Jingming in astonishment. He had been feeling unwell since yesterday, and he had taken medicine himself, but it hadn’t shown significant effects.
But with just three needles from Wen Xin, Zhuge Jingming had completely recovered in just five minutes. Wasn’t this simply miraculous?
“Miss Wen, your acupuncture skills are even better than my master’s, aren’t they?” Yan Lin looked at Wen Xin cautiously, speaking in a low voice, afraid of disturbing anyone outside.
“It’s alright. Your master’s acupuncture skills have also improved…” At least his hands didn’t tremble when administering the needles.
“Thank you for your praise, Miss Wen. I’ve already prepared everything you asked for. Yan Lin, please fetch them for Miss Wen.” Zhuge Jingming had already returned to normal, looking radiant and full of energy.
Yan Lin acted quickly, bringing two metal boxes from the dispensary and respectfully placing them in front of Wen Xin.
Wen Xin took them, opened the boxes, picked up a pill, held it under her nose to smell, and then casually tossed one to Zhuge Jingming.
“You can start production now. You can set the price and efficacy yourself. I think the machine’s effect is quite good. If it’s not enough, I’ll have someone bring another one for you…”
“Thank you, Miss Wen…” Upon hearing Wen Xin’s words, Zhuge Jingming’s eyes lit up. He really needed the pharmaceutical machine.
Especially after seeing the utilization rate of the machine, Zhuge Jingming absolutely loved it. He had wanted to throw away the old-fashioned alchemy machines from before.
“Eat the pills. Your body needs proper care. Don’t overwork yourself. Feeling unwell is just a reminder for you. I’ll take these two boxes of pills for now. You can produce more for yourself. Take one pill every three days. I’ll cover the cost.”
With that, Wen Xin stood up, hugged the two boxes of pills in her arms, and prepared to leave
