If Li Junye had to rate himself, he felt he could only give himself a 99.

One point more, and he might get too arrogant!

Because aside from being unable to have children, there seemed to be nothing he couldn’t do.Full novel: After Becoming Invincible, I Return to the City as a Playboy — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

Medical skills? They were child’s play to him!

As the saying went, golden needles could guide souls, while silver needles could heal the living. Chen Qing’an was already halfway through the gates of hell, with two of his three souls and five of his seven spirits gone. Ordinary silver needles were no longer any use.

Only golden needles would do!

He spread out the needle case, and six golden needles appeared in Li Junye’s hand in an instant. He lifted Chen Qing’an’s shirt and drove the needles into six different acupoints!

His movements were lightning-fast, flowing together in one seamless motion!

Just then, unable to put her mind at ease, Chen Qingxue ignored her younger sister’s attempts to stop her and forced her way into the room.

Li Junye’s hands moved like a phantom before her eyes. Rather than thinking he was impressive, she found the sight terrifying.

She had seen acupuncture before, but who had ever seen anyone stick needles in like that?

He was practically treating a human life as a game!

“Stop!”

If her younger sister weren’t holding her tightly, Chen Qingxue would probably have rushed over to fight Li Junye.

Compared with the two anxious sisters, Gou Fugui and Wu Xiangwang were both dumbstruck.

Just as each golden needle was about to pierce Chen Qing’an’s body, Li Junye’s fingers would gently twist it. Anyone could tell at a glance that this was the technique of a seasoned expert!

And that wasn’t all.

As each golden needle sank in, a stream of invisible internal energy flowed from Li Junye’s palm and silently burrowed into Chen Qing’an’s body.

“Fugui, we’re not seeing things, are we?!”

Wu Xiangwang swallowed, as if he’d seen a ghost in broad daylight.

Gou Fugui shook her head stiffly.

Needle Control with Qi—the needle moves, and qi flows!

A few years ago, when a renowned physician examined the Old Master of the Li Family, they had witnessed this technique.

Neither of them had ever imagined that their own Young Master would know this miraculous art as well! The shock they felt was beyond words.

“Sis, calm down!”

Chen Qingyao wasn’t sure of herself either. She trusted Li Junye solely on a woman’s intuition.

Thankfully, Li Junye didn’t let her down.

The next moment,

a stream of white vapor rose from Chen Qing’an’s body, looking utterly miraculous. His lips twitched, and his eyes fluttered—a clear sign that he was regaining consciousness.

Li Junye casually removed the oxygen mask from his face, then helped him sit up with one hand.

“Thump, thump—”

He joined two fingers and sharply jabbed Chen Qing’an in the back several times.

“Pfft!”

A large mouthful of black blood came spilling out of Chen Qing’an’s mouth.

“Grandpa!”

“Grandpa...”

Chen Qingxue and Chen Qingyao hurried over, one on each side of Chen Qing’an.

“If anything happens to my grandpa, I’ll fight you to the death!”

Chen Qingxue gritted her back teeth and glared at Li Junye.

“You sure do talk a lot of nonsense!”

Li Junye shot her a sideways glance, then walked out of the hospital room. His figure soon disappeared down the corridor.

This made Chen Qingxue wonder if the bastard had fled to avoid taking responsibility!

At the thought, she turned to chase after him without a second thought.

But just then—

“Sis!”

Chen Qingyao suddenly called out.

Chen Qingxue stopped and turned around. Chen Qing’an was slowly opening his eyes. He looked weak, but his complexion was clearly much better than before.

“Grandpa, are you all right?”

Chen Qingxue burst into tears of joy.

After three whole days, Chen Qing’an had finally regained consciousness.

Leaning against the head of the bed, Chen Qing’an forced a faint smile. “Qingxue, Qingyao, don’t worry. Grandpa’s fine.”

“That’s good!”

Chen Qingyao said, her eyes red.

“That madman just left, and the patient’s cured...”

Seeing Li Junye leave, the doctor had wanted to come in and mock them, but halfway through his sentence, he froze like a statue.

How the hell was this possible?!

Staring at Chen Qing’an, who had regained consciousness, the doctor’s jaw nearly hit the floor.

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed that a dying man like Chen Qing’an could be brought back to life in just a few minutes!

Could that kid really be a Divine Physician?

“Quack! Get out!”

Chen Qing’an shouted angrily.

The doctor felt utterly humiliated and could only slink out of the room.

“Qingxue, where’s that young man from earlier? Go find him and bring him back!”

Chen Qing’an instructed her gently.

Though he had been unconscious earlier, his hearing hadn’t failed him, so he had heard every word the others said.

He owed his escape from the gates of hell entirely to Li Junye.

Chen Qingxue knew she had wronged Li Junye, but she found it hard to swallow her pride and go after him.

Seeing this, considerate Chen Qingyao spoke up. “Sis, stay here and look after Grandpa. I’ll go find him!”

“Mm.”

Chen Qingxue answered softly.

Chen Qingyao practically ran out of the room and all the way downstairs. She finally found Li Junye on the lawn.

“Your grandpa should be awake by now, right?”

Li Junye had a cigarette dangling from his lips and looked utterly carefree.

“Yes. Thank you so much!”

Chen Qingyao said with heartfelt gratitude.

If Li Junye hadn’t stepped in to help her last night, she might have been in grave danger. Today, he had saved her grandfather, too.

These were two enormous debts of gratitude!

“As long as he’s awake. Let your grandpa get some good rest. He should be able to leave the hospital in a couple of days.”

Li Junye said calmly.

Chen Qingyao nodded, then asked curiously, “By the way, how did you end up with my sister?”

“It’s a long story. One of the reasons I came to Xuancheng was to find your sister.”

“You came to find my sister?”

“Mm. If something unexpected happens, I’ll be your brother-in-law!”

“Huh?!”

Chen Qingyao was left gaping, completely bewildered.

What did he mean, he’d be her brother-in-law if something unexpected happened?

And what if nothing unexpected happened?

Li Junye said nonchalantly, “Your sister and I have an engagement. I came to find her so I could call it off. So unless something unexpected happens, I’m determined to break off this engagement!”

Chen Qingxue was as proud as a winter plum blossom. He was afraid she’d freeze him to death.

Besides, he simply couldn’t accept a marriage without love!

But things didn’t go as planned. The unexpected always came quietly.

Just as Li Junye finished speaking, his phone rang in his pocket.

It was Li Dingguo.

“You little brat, did you go looking for that girl from the Chen Family? You’ve seen her, right? Is she pretty? Did your heart skip a beat?”

As soon as the call connected, Li Dingguo fired off several questions.

Li Junye didn’t know where to start answering, so he simply said, “She looks all right. She barely meets my standards, but...”

“No buts!”

Li Dingguo cut him off firmly. “I looked into that girl from the Chen Family. She’s a good girl. If you dare bully her, just wait till you get back and see whether I beat you to a pulp!”

“Old Li, don’t push me too far!”

Li Junye was so worked up that his face flushed red.

Li Dingguo snorted, his voice suddenly rising.

“Your Great-Grandpa personally agreed to this engagement. If you dare defy my old man’s wishes, I’ll kick you out of the house...”
