Qin Feng suddenly chuckled.
Everyone glared at him, their faces filled with anger.
Xia Guohua had already taken a dislike to Qin Feng. Now, it was as if someone had stepped on his tail. “What kind of lunatic are you?”
“My Xia Family won’t tolerate someone like you acting so recklessly!”
“Get out!”
He turned to look at Zhang Cheng.
Zhang Cheng understood and immediately moved to grab Qin Feng.
“Hey, hey, don’t touch me!”
“If you really throw me out, the Old Master will be beyond saving!”
Everyone was stunned!
Zhang Cheng’s hand stopped in midair.
“What did you say? You can save my Old Master?” Xia Guohua came to his senses, then sneered. “So that’s who you are!”
“You’re just here to swindle us while you have the chance, aren’t you?”
“You’ve got some nerve, kid!”
Xia Yifei sneered, too. “You look like a penniless tramp, and you’re trying to pass yourself off as a Divine Doctor?”
“Why don’t you go to the clothing market and buy yourself some decent clothes first?”
“Get out, get out, get out!”
Most of the other members of the Xia Family also looked displeased and coldly watched Qin Feng as if he were a clown.
No one took his words seriously.
Qin Feng wasn’t annoyed. He simply clasped his hands behind his back. “You people really are a bunch of snobs!”
“What’s so special about a Divine Doctor?”
“There are Divine Doctors everywhere in the world. At best, they can treat minor illnesses. But to bring someone back from the dead, you need a Medicine Immortal!”
Everyone burst into laughter.
Xia Guohua was so angry he laughed. “What’s that supposed to mean? Are you saying you’re the so-called Medicine Immortal?”
Xia Yifei flew into a rage. “You bastard, you think you can mess with us?!”
He charged forward and swung a punch at Qin Feng’s face!
Qin Feng caught it with ease and twisted his arm.
Xia Yifei cried out in agony, his face contorted!
“L-Let go!” he stammered.
Xia Guohua was shocked, too. “You dare attack someone in my Xia Family’s home?!”
Zhang Cheng’s expression grew grave, but he didn’t act rashly. Instead, he cautiously stepped in front of Xia Guohua to shield him, keeping a wary eye on Qin Feng.
“You can’t blame me. I was acting in self-defense!”
“Ah, young people are always so hot-blooded!”
Qin Feng grinned and let go.
Xia Yifei fell to the ground, then quickly scrambled back to his feet.
His face burned with embarrassment.
The pain in his arm, along with his earlier humiliation, had cost him face.
He didn’t dare attack Qin Feng again, so he could only glare viciously at Xia Ruxue and vent his anger by shouting, “Xia Ruxue! This is the bastard you brought in!”
“You wretched woman, what the hell are you trying to do?”
Xia Ruxue had also calmed down by now.
Her eyes swollen and red, she stood up, turned around, and looked at Qin Feng.
“What did you say just now? Can you really save my grandfather?”
Qin Feng nodded without hesitation. “Of course!”
“I rushed here because I came to save him!”
“What did you think?”
Xia Ruxue wiped her tears, her expression resolute. “All right! You said it yourself!”
Xia Guohua and the others stared at her in shock. “Xia Ruxue, are you crazy?”
“You believe this kid?”
“The Old Master is already gone! Can you stop putting the old man through this?”
“Grandfather can’t be saved anyway. What’s wrong with letting him try?” Xia Ruxue glared viciously at them. “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re scheming!”
“Even if Grandfather really dies tonight, I still won’t give up the Chairperson position. Don’t even think about it!”
Before anyone else could speak, Feng Henian, standing to the side, frowned, clearly displeased.
“Miss Xia, if you doubt my medical skills, then there’s no need for me to visit your Xia Family again. Farewell!”
He turned to leave.
Qin Feng smiled. “Don’t you want to know how I’ll treat the Old Master?”
“Ha ha ha.” Feng Henian laughed and shook his head. “How pathetic!”
“You insolent brat!”
“I don’t know how much you’ve learned, but I can tell you this with certainty: the Old Master’s meridians are blocked, and his qi and blood have long since dried up. There’s no way to save him!”
“Stop spouting nonsense here and try to build up some virtue!”
He looked both furious and resentful.
Qin Feng looked at Xia Zhenhai and said calmly, “Blocked meridians, depleted qi and blood… I’m not so sure about that.”
“If certain people had accurately opened the Old Master’s Qihai and Tanzhong acupoints from the start, the old man might have woken up long ago!”
At those words, Feng Henian was struck as if by lightning, and his whole body trembled!
He thought in shock, How… how could this be? How does he know?
Qin Feng was absolutely right!
Although Xia Zhenhai had been unconscious and in grave danger, he wasn’t beyond saving!
As long as one identified the cause of the illness, chose the right moment, and applied the needles properly, waking Xia Zhenhai would have been easy.
But that was exactly where the problem lay.
He had repeatedly misjudged the cause of the Old Master’s illness, believing that his meridians were blocked because his qi and blood had surged upward and obstructed his life gate.
He had to circulate the qi and blood and open the life gate to save him.
But what he never expected was that he had the cause and effect backward!
The Old Master’s meridians were blocked precisely because his qi and blood had been depleted!
By the time he realized this fatal mistake, it was already too late to save him…
In that instant, Feng Henian was struck speechless, his face ashen!
Seeing his expression, Xia Ruxue wasn’t foolish. She immediately realized what had happened!
“Doctor Feng, what exactly is going on?”
Xia Ruxue demanded.
“This…” Feng Henian looked guilty.
He didn’t know whether he should admit his mistake now.
If he confessed, wouldn’t his reputation as a Divine Doctor be ruined?
While he was still torn, Qin Feng spoke up. “Listen to me!”
“From here on, do exactly as I tell you!”
“First, use silver needles to seal the Old Master’s Qihai and keep him alive. Then open his dantian and get his blood and qi flowing…”
He explained the remaining treatment steps to Feng Henian, one by one.
This would save the Old Master’s life, while also giving Feng Henian a way to save face.
Feng Henian understood that perfectly well.
He hesitated for a moment. In the end, his conscience won out over his vanity. He hurried back to the bedside and began applying the needles step by step, just as Qin Feng had instructed…
Xia Guohua and the others were dumbfounded by the sight!
Feng Henian was the Divine Doctor of Tianhai, yet he was actually following every instruction from an unknown young man?
Everyone exchanged bewildered looks, finding it hard to believe.
Xia Ruxue also glanced at Qin Feng in surprise, but soon turned her attention back to her grandfather.
At that moment, Feng Henian was grasping at straws.
He knew that even if he followed Qin Feng’s instructions, he might not be able to save the Old Master, but at least he would have done everything he could.
Or rather, he would have done everything he could to make up for his mistake!
If he left just like that and pretended nothing had happened, he would spend the rest of his life feeling guilty!
Besides, Qin Feng had accurately pointed out his mistake. Perhaps he really did have the skills!
Perhaps… a miracle would happen!
As time passed, everyone watched Xia Zhenhai anxiously.
Xia Guohua and Xia Yifei were especially on edge. The father and son were gripped by unease.
Could the Old Master really be about to wake up?
If the Old Master recovered, their plan to seize power would be completely ruined!
But when they looked at Qin Feng, they shook their heads again. How could that be possible?
How could a penniless nobody like him possibly save the Old Master? It was utter fantasy!
Even Feng Henian couldn’t do it, so what made him think he could?
Xia Guohua and his son both felt they were overthinking it…
