The treatment begins.
Everyone made space for Xiao Tian and Old Master Lin.
Qin Luo and the others stood at the front of the crowd.
The former scanned Old Master Lin’s entire body and immediately saw that he was critically ill.
It turned out to be a reverse flow of qi. Xiao Tian’s previous actions had been aimed at gathering the scattered reverse-flow qi from the meridians into one place.
But this acupuncture technique was too outdated, which was why it had to be performed several times to complete the treatment.
However, it was also necessary for the plot of 『Urban Live-in Son-in-law Dragon King』.
It was just that you had to endure some frustration first, so that the final explosion would feel even more satisfying.
Xiao Tian stood in front of Old Master Lin and reached out to check his pulse.
“Xiao… Xiao Tian… I’m counting on you, old man…”
Old Master Lin opened his eyes and said breathlessly to Xiao Tian.
He still chose to believe in Xiao Tian, after all, the other party was the next Dragon King arranged by the previous Dragon King.
It was only because he had encountered a calamity that he had been left in their Lin Family for a full six years!
Xiao Tian had already examined Old Master Lin’s entire physical condition.
A confident smile appeared on his face. “Don’t worry, Old Master Lin. I will definitely cure you.”
“Hmph, I hope it is as you say, otherwise I will make you regret it!”
Lin Wanrong stood to the side, looking at Xiao Tian with a dark expression.
The latter took a deep breath, his heart bitter.
Wanrong still doesn’t believe me, even now.
But it doesn’t matter. Once I cure Old Master Lin, then…
All the world’s doubts about me will vanish!
With that thought, his gaze became extremely determined. Then.
He extended his hands and waved them.
Swish, swish, swish!!
In an instant, seven silver needles shot out from his palms and continuously pierced into various parts of Old Master Lin’s body.
Su Muwan’s eyes narrowed.
Here it comes.
This was one of Xiao Tian’s skills from her previous life — the Tai Chi Seven Needles!
It could help treat difficult and complicated illnesses by infusing qi!
In her previous life, Xiao Tian had also used this acupuncture technique to save Old Master Lin’s life!
However, the people nearby were not aware of this situation.
Lin Wanrong screamed in terror at this sight and immediately rushed forward to grab Xiao Tian. “Xiao Tian, you useless waste, what exactly are you trying to do!”
“Are you trying to kill my grandfather!”
Liu Li also shouted in terror, “Rebellion! Rebellion! A mere live-in son-in-law of the Lin Family dares to bite the hand that feeds!”
“Guards! Get that waste out of here!”
However.
Old Madam Lin noticed something unusual. She stopped them with a grave expression. “Wait.”
“I know this state Xiao Tian is in. He… has entered a state of deep concentration.”
As she spoke, Old Madam Lin kept her eyes on Xiao Tian.
Though Lin Wanrong had grabbed his arm, he was completely unaffected.
Xiao Tian only focused his attention on Old Master Lin.
Deep concentration?
Lin Wanrong released Xiao Tian, uncertain and surprised.
Did that waste actually have such skill?
Because their Lin Family had Old Master Lin, Lin Wanrong also knew that martial arts cultivation existed in this world.
So she had also heard of the term ‘deep concentration’.
Rumor had it that when a person was completely focused on one task, there was a chance of entering that state.
And now…
Had that waste actually entered a state of deep concentration?
Could it be… that this waste truly had skill?!
Liu Li also looked at Old Madam Lin in disbelief. “Mom, could that waste actually have the skill to treat Dad?”
Old Madam Lin hesitated and shook her head. “Not sure. But since Xiao Tian has been insisting on this, maybe he really does have the skill.”
With that, Old Madam Lin sighed. “It seems we… may have all underestimated this live-in son-in-law.”
The Lin Family members… were stunned.
Could it be that they had been misjudging Xiao Tian all along?
Qin Luo, for his part, looked at Xiao Tian, who was focused on treating Old Master Lin.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
According to the normal plot, Old Master Lin being cured was a certainty.
But.
Qin Luo glanced at Su Muwan beside him.
Her expression was somewhat unsettled. She clearly didn’t want Xiao Tian to take the spotlight.
In that case.
Then let me, as her subordinate, do a little meddling.
Thinking this, Qin Luo couldn’t help sighing inwardly.
Ah! Eldest Miss, Eldest Miss.
Tell me, where could you find a subordinate as dedicated as me?
With a follower like me, you must be secretly delighted!
With that thought, Qin Luo’s gaze sharpened.
Hum!
『Taixuan Thirteen Needles』… Activate!!
Off to the side.
Su Muwan’s expression was also unsettled.
Of course, it wasn’t because Xiao Tian was about to cure Old Master Lin.
It was purely because she recalled some unpleasant memories from her past life.
That was later, at Old Master Lin’s birthday banquet. Lin Wanrong still had feelings for her childhood sweetheart, Young Master Wang of the Wang family.
So she announced at the banquet that she would divorce Xiao Tian.
And it was on that very day.
The six-year term had arrived.
Xiao Tian’s identity as the Dragon King… was revealed!
Revealing it was fine.
But…
At that time, as the head of the wealthy young masters, she naturally played a role in fueling the fire.
Which directly led to Xiao Tian bearing a grudge against her.
And so…
Ah, let’s not talk about it. But at least now it’s okay.
As long as Xiao Tian steadily cured Old Master Lin.
Then she could cover for the fact that Qin Luo was supposed to be a miracle doctor.
The prerequisite!
Su Muwan glared at Qin Luo, hoping this guy wouldn’t do anything unnecessary.
Oh?
Eldest Miss is looking at me. Her gaze seems a bit displeased.
Could it be that she thinks I’m too slow?
So impatient.
Tsk, this Eldest Miss is really hard to please.
But well, I’ve already done what needed to be done. Next will be…
Qin Luo leaned slightly to the side and said to Su Muwan in a low voice, “It’s time for us to watch the show, Eldest Miss.”
Su Muwan’s heart trembled at this sudden statement.
“Huh? Why do these words send a chill down my spine?”
At that moment.
Swish, swish, swish!!
Xiao Tian exited his state of deep concentration and withdrew the seven silver needles. By now, he was drenched in sweat.
Although it had consumed most of his qi, it was fine. The treatment was finally over.
Then he looked at the relatives and friends around him, who were all staring at him with strange expressions.
His expression gradually became confident. The corners of his mouth lifted as he stood up and said confidently, “I have cured Old Master Lin.”
“He can be discharged today.”
As he spoke, he looked at Lin Wanrong, reached out, and took her hand, saying with great emotion, “Wanrong, do you believe me now?”
This time, Lin Wanrong did not refuse. She looked at Old Master Lin on the bed, whose complexion had visibly improved.
Her heart trembled again and again.
Xiao Tian… really knows medicine?!
Liu Li, too, was too shocked to react. She ran to Old Master Lin’s bedside and called out softly, “Dad? Dad, are you okay?”
Everyone also looked.
Time passed, second by second.
Old Master Lin still did not speak.
Lin Wanrong was about to pull her hand from Xiao Tian’s grasp, and asked hesitantly, “Xiao Tian, what’s going on? Why hasn’t my grandfather woken up yet?”
Hearing this.
Xiao Tian smiled confidently. “Don’t worry, the treatment just ended. He’ll wake up in a moment…”
“Cough! Cough!”
“Pfft!!!”
Before he finished speaking.
Xiao Tian’s confident expression instantly froze on his face.
Everyone looked at the bed.
They saw.
Old Master Lin suddenly coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, his face turning ugly.
His eyes widened, his expression pained, and an incredulous look appeared in his eyes.
He tremblingly pointed a finger at Xiao Tian and shouted weakly, “Xiao Tian… what a venomous heart you have… you… forcibly drained the qi from my body!!”
“Are you… trying to kill me…”
Old Master Lin could not believe it, and he felt incredulous.
This Xiao Tian had actually drained all the qi from his body at this time. That clearly meant he wanted him dead!!
Combined with what that follower beside Eldest Miss Su had said earlier.
Was Xiao Tian’s purpose really to seize their Lin Family assets?!
Once he was dead, how could his family deal with Xiao Tian, the Dragon King?!
Good, good, good. So after years of humiliation, this was his real goal?!
Old Master Lin was already becoming delirious, his thoughts growing sluggish.
He didn’t stop to think: as the Dragon King, why would Xiao Tian need their Lin Family assets?
And these words were like a boulder thrown into a pond, splashing a commotion in the hospital room.
The Lin Family members were furious.
“Xiao Tian!! You deserve to die!!”
“You worthless piece of trash, you actually dared to do something so inhuman!!”
“Waste! If Old Master Lin dies, our Lin Family will make you die with us!!”
Xiao Tian’s mind went blank with a buzz.
He looked in shock at Old Master Lin, who had coughed up blood and closed his eyes.
“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”
“My Tai Chi Seven Needles have never failed! How could this happen!”
He quickly looked at Lin Wanrong. “Wife, you believe…”
Slap!!
Before he finished.
What greeted Xiao Tian was an angry slap from Lin Wanrong. She pulled her hand from his and cursed, “Waste!! How dare you deceive us!”
Lin Wanrong was completely despairing of Xiao Tian.
She had not expected Xiao Tian to choose this critical moment to harm Old Master Lin in retaliation against their Lin Family.
Old Madam Lin also turned pale. She closed her eyes and fell backward.
“I… was blind…”
“This waste is still that same waste.”
“It was all an act.”
“Old Madam!”
“Grandma!”
Lin Wanrong was already in tears. She thought of something.
She immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Su Muwan, begging, “Eldest Miss Su! Please! Please ask Master Qin to save my grandfather!”
Thump! Thump! Thump!!
The other Lin Family members also came to their senses.
One by one, they knelt before Su Muwan with mournful expressions, wailing, “Eldest Miss Su!! Save our Old Master Lin!!”
“You… I… he…”
Su Muwan was also stunned speechless.
In the end, she could only helplessly blink at Qin Luo. “Qin Luo, it’s up to you. Cure Old Master Lin!”
Damn it! Why did things turn out like this!
Are your legs made of cotton?! Kneeling on command like that!
Waaaah! Qin Luo, you have to save him! Otherwise, I have no idea how to clean this up!
Why didn’t we just let them save him themselves in the first place!!
Why did you have to come and interfere!!
“Yes, young lady. This subordinate guarantees he will complete the task!”
Qin Luo shuddered at Su Muwan’s words.
Huh?
What’s going on?
He suddenly felt something appear in his mind.
A task command was issued.
『Received mission command from villain target. Detected Loyalty Points balance: 10』
『Does the host wish to use Loyalty Points to completely cure Old Master Lin!』
『Mission reward: 70% of Lin Family assets!』
Huh?!
So this is what Loyalty Points are used for?!
They can be used directly to complete tasks assigned by the villain target?
Qin Luo was stunned. And there was even a mission reward.
In that case.
He put on the title of Top lackey.
Boom!
An overwhelming aura suddenly burst out from Qin Luo.
It instilled immense confidence in the Lin Family members.
Even Su Muwan (villain target unaffected) was stunned.
“What’s going on? Why is everyone suddenly glowing?”
Xiao Tian stood by Old Master Lin’s bed and watched Qin Luo approach. He said subconsciously, “Impossible. Wanrong, don’t believe this guy. In this world…”
Slap!!
“Shut up.”
Before he finished.
Qin Luo coldly raised his hand and slapped him to the ground.
Then, looking down at him coldly, he sneered, “A mere live-in son-in-law dares to put on airs in front of my young lady. I thought you might have some talent, but who knew…”
He shook his head with a cold laugh. “You’re a fool. Fabricating that you’re the Dragon King, and that you know medicine.”
“Fortunately, my young lady has sharp eyes and told me in advance to come along.”
At these words.
The Lin Family members looked up at Su Muwan and said gratefully, “Thank you, Eldest Miss Su!”
Su Muwan’s mouth twitched as she revealed an indescribable smile. “Heh…”
I didn’t even know I was this impressive.
Next.
Qin Luo walked up to the Lin Family patriarch and reached out to gently place his hand on the other’s chest.
He shouted softly, “Awaken!”
Boom!
In an instant.
A surge of energy, overwhelmingly powerful to the average person, erupted from Qin Luo’s palm.
It was a stream of pure qi.
The moment Qin Luo unleashed it, it created a spectacular scene.
Whoosh!!
A strong wind howled through the hospital room, and the windows rattled and spun open.
Everyone was astonished.
“Such skill! Master Qin truly is a miracle doctor!”
“Exactly! That Xiao Tian didn’t even make a move earlier. What a load of crap! He’s just a pretentious waste!”
“Right! It’s good that we have Eldest Miss Su here! Now Old Master Lin’s life is saved!”
Su Muwan, however, watched Qin Luo in silence.
“Hey, hey, hey. If my twenty years of martial arts experience from my past life isn’t wrong, this guy… is clearly just expelling qi outside his body to create an exaggerated illusion, right?”
“If this can cure someone, then I’ll… I’ll… Huh?!”
As she thought about it, Su Muwan’s eyes suddenly widened.
Because.
She saw.
Old Master Lin, who had been looking weak.
At this moment.
Actually sat up straight!
He opened his hand comfortably, his voice full of energy, and looked at everyone in the room with surprise. “I… feel fifty years younger!”
The Lin Family members were overjoyed.
Xiao Tian’s expression twisted in disbelief: !!!
Qin Luo deliberately sweated, pretending to be extremely exhausted.
Then he clasped his hands behind his back, looked at Su Muwan, and smiled slightly. “I have not disgraced my mission, young lady.”
This time, the young lady should be satisfied.
Su Muwan was dumbfounded.
“Huh?”
“Is the script supposed to go like this?”
