Chapter 429: Chapter 429 Somebody Schemes In The Dark_1

Xia Shuyuan and Mo Fan also turned their heads to look at Zhang Xian, their brows furrowed tightly, uncertain whether they should believe him or not.

Though the old man had always said that Zhang Xian was no ordinary person, and that building a relationship with him was a great honor for the Mo family, they still weren’t completely confident in his medical skills.

"Can you cure him?" Mo Shaoyun asked Zhang Xian.

She didn’t know much about Zhang Xian’s medical skills and had never witnessed them in action. So far, all Zhang Xian had dealt with were minor ailments.

Now, her grandfather’s life was hanging by a thread. Could he cure him?

"I can..." Zhang Xian nodded.

A doctor frowned and said, "Young man, don’t try if you’re not sure. Let him spend more time with his family! If you send everyone out and something happens..."

"There won’t be any ’if’."

Zhang Xian looked at the doctor and said, "And there certainly won’t be ten thousand. You all can leave with confidence. I will cure the old man."

"Everyone out!"

After hesitating, Mo Fan turned and went out.

Seeing that Mo Fan had no objections, the two doctors didn’t say anything more and followed him out.

"I..."

Mo Shaoyun looked at Zhang Xian and asked, "Can I stay?"

"Don’t you trust me?"

Zhang Xian looked at Mo Shaoyun and said, "If you don’t, I can refuse to treat him and leave the remaining time to you. The two doctors were right just now, the old man is indeed on his last legs."

"No... I mean, I just want to see." Mo Shaoyun explained.

She knew that Zhang Xian wouldn’t give her any respect now. So much so that she did not dare to show her temper or attitude to Zhang Xian.

Now, her grandfather’s life was at stake, and she dared not behave recklessly at such a critical moment.

"Alright."

Zhang Xian hesitated before saying, "But everyone else needs to leave. If anyone else says they want to stay, you can say your final goodbyes to the old man."

Xia Shuyuan was slightly dissatisfied, but she didn’t say anything and turned to go out, shutting the door behind her.

"What a nuisance!"

Zhang Xian walked to the bedside, grasped the old man’s wrist with one hand, and channeled his spiritual energy in.

The two doctors who had examined the old man earlier had correctly determined that the old man was dying, but they couldn’t figure out why. Actually, the old man’s illness wasn’t sudden, he had been poisoned.

While Zhang Xian had never seen this poison before, it was bizarre in nature. It could possibly be detected at a hospital with medical equipment, but with the naked eye, it wasn’t possible to find any signs of poisoning.

The two previous doctors hadn’t been able to discover it.

It wasn’t that they were incompetent. The doctors the Mo family had brought in were undoubtedly extraordinary. However, there were no noticeable signs to indicate poisoning, and this could only be detected using medical equipment.

"What are you doing?" Mo Shaoyun was somewhat puzzled to see Zhang Xian just sitting there, doing nothing.

Was this supposed to be treatment? It seemed that no matter what the situation was, or who Zhang Xian was treating, he always did this. He had held her hand in the same way when she had a cold last time.

However, she didn’t say anything. Zhang Xian had cured her cold just by holding her hand like that last time, so now, she was somewhat hopeful about the outcome.

Time ticked by.

About ten minutes later, Zhang Xian suddenly withdrew his hand, took out a packet of Golden Needles, and swiftly pricked them into the old man’s body.

The toxins inside the old man’s body had been removed, and he was now out of danger.

However, there were other issues with the old man’s health which needed to be adjusted. Even though Zhang Xian could do this without using acupuncture, incorporating it would enhance the treatment and save time.

"Such speed." Mo Shaoyun watched from the sidelines, covering her mouth in surprise.

When Zhang Xian inserted the needles, he did it one after another, sometimes sticking three in at the same time without any pause, as if he didn’t need to locate the acupuncture points at all.

Acupuncture was done this way? Wasn’t he afraid of inserting the needles incorrectly?

About a minute later, the old man’s body was covered in shining golden needles, looking just like a hedgehog.

The sight was rather unnerving.

"Phew..."

Once the last golden needle was inserted into the old man’s body, Zhang Xian took a deep breath. He continued to input spiritual energy into the old man’s body, adjusting his physical condition and fixing some hidden issues.

Mo Shaoyun watched from the side. When she saw beads of sweat appear on Zhang Xian’s forehead, she hesitated for a moment before stepping forward to wipe them off for him.

"Don’t touch me..." Zhang Xian suddenly yelled.

Mo Shaoyun jumped back in fright, retreating and looking at Zhang Xian with resentment.

What did he mean by that? She was just trying to be kind and help him wipe away his sweat, why was he acting so mean? If she had known, she wouldn’t have even bothered. It was like ’a dog biting Lu Dongbin’; she was kindly trying to help but he was unappreciative.

Zhang Xian knew that Mo Shaoyun was displeased, but he didn’t bother to placate her.

This was a critical moment, and he needed to maintain absolute focus. Mo Shaoyun’s sudden move to wipe his sweat could easily cause a disturbance, and this was not a moment to be taken lightly.

"Bastard..." Mo Shaoyun muttered, sitting off to the side.

However, seeing that her grandfather’s complexion had improved significantly, she was quite happy and didn’t dwell on Zhang Xian’s earlier outburst.

After all, even though Zhang Xian wasn’t exactly pleasant to be around, his skills were indeed extraordinary. It seemed like there was nothing he couldn’t do.

"Phew..."

At some moment, Zhang Xian exhaled deeply and finally took his hands back.

Seeing this, Mo Shaoyun hurriedly asked, "How is my grandfather now? Is he already better?"

"Well...he’s better now."

Zhang Xian said, "However, some old ailments need more treatments before they are fully cured. Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, it won’t be a problem for your grandfather to live a few more decades."

"Ah..."

Mo Shaoyun asked joyfully, "Really...really?"

"Yes, I’ll attend to his health regularly. Although he’s not my grandfather, he is, after all, a friend of my Master, right?"

Zhang Xian nodded and said, "If we treat him two or three more times, your grandfather’s old problems should be completely cleared. If we continue with regular check-ups afterwards, his physique will also be strengthened."

"Hmm, thank you." Mo Shaoyun nodded and smiled.

Zhang Xian looked at Mo Shaoyun, did not say anything else, and walked out of the room.

"You..."

Seeing Zhang Xian suddenly becoming so indifferent to her, Mo Shaoyun felt a bit puzzled. Could it be that Zhang Xian already knew about her intention to dissolve their marriage agreement?

But she seemed to have not mentioned it to this guy!

...

Downstairs, in the living room.

Mo Fan, Xia Shuyuan, two doctors, a middle-aged woman, and many relatives who rushed to hear the news, were waiting.

The atmosphere in the hall was somewhat suppressed, and no one spoke.

"Tap tap tap... tap tap tap..." Suddenly, footsteps came from the stairs.

Xia Shuyuan and Mo Fan turned their heads immediately upon hearing this.

Seeing Zhang Xian, their faces brightened and they hurried over to ask, "Zhang Xian, how’s the old man? Tell me, is he better now?"

"Yes, he’s better now." Zhang Xian nodded.

Seeing the two doctors’ astonished faces followed by their skeptical glances, he said, "If you don’t believe me, you can go upstairs and check."

The two doctors looked at each other and promptly went upstairs.

Upon hearing this, Mo Fan and Xia Shuyuan promptly ran upstairs too. As did the rest of the relatives.

Seeing that the old man was actually better, the middle-aged woman’s eyes flashed with surprise for a moment, then quickly returned to normal, just like everyone else, she showed a happy smile.

"It’s truly a miracle!"

Soon, the two doctors came down, looking astonished and couldn’t stop exclaiming as they walked.

When they came into the living room, they immediately ran towards Zhang Xian, grabbed his hand and asked, "Little Divine Doctor, how did you do it? It’s simply unbelievable!"

"Uh, never mind that." Zhang Xian had no intention of sharing the details.

Seeing this, the two doctors also realized they had been presumptuous, and dared not ask again. However, their eyes filled with admiration when they looked at Zhang Xian.

The young man in front of them was simply amazing!

"Zhang Xian..."

Mo Fan and Xia Shuyuan ran down from upstairs, laughing heartily. Not only did the old man survive, but the two doctors also said that the old man’s previous problems had greatly improved.

Doesn’t this mean that their son-in-law is a divine doctor? Such a person could even challenge King Yama himself!

"Er..."

Zhang Xian laughed and said, "Can you guys stop looking at me like that?"

"Umm, sorry." Mo Fan felt a bit embarrassed.

The problem of his father’s illness had always been a stone in his heart. Now that the stone was finally gone and good news had arrived, he could hardly control his emotions and was a little too excited.

The same went for Xia Shuyuan, whose gaze at Zhang Xian also contained a touch of embarrassment.

Remembering that Mo Shaoyun wanted to dissolve their betrothal agreement with Zhang Xian made her feel a little uncomfortable. From the looks of it now, Zhang Xian being a playboy doesn’t seem very important.

Of course, she had no intention of selling her daughter. She had an understanding of what kind of person Zhang Xian was, otherwise she would have lost her temper a long time ago.

Zhang Xian might not be faithful in love, but he would not let Mo Shaoyun down, right? With such an amazing son-in-law, one can imagine how powerful the Mo family would be in the future!

"Um..."

Zhang Xian laughed awkwardly and said, "Auntie, could you please let go of my hand first?"

"Ah..."

Xia Shuyuan screamed and quickly let go of Zhang Xian’s hand.

But thinking about it, she rolled her eyes at Zhang Xian and said, "You, I’m just too excited, okay? What’s with that look on your face?"

"I... I don’t have a look..."

Xia Shuyuan angrily said, "Still denying? You wouldn’t be laughing at me in your heart for being so careless and losing my composure, would you?"

"No...Really not..."

Zhang Xian shook his head, quickly changed the subject, and turned to Mo Fan, "Uncle Fan, now that the old man’s illness is resolved, the matter of why he suddenly fell ill before isn’t settled yet. Does it not make you suspect that there is something fishy going on or perhaps someone was dealing a secret blow to the old man?"
