"How will you know if you don't try?" Ning Qingyan looked at Ye Xingchen expectantly.
“I understand Miss Ning’s feelings, but I don’t have a good solution for Old Master Ning’s illness.” Old Master Xue said with a smile, “It would be fine to let this young man take a look, but there are very few doctors in the world whose medical skills can surpass mine, Xue Changchun.”
Given his reputation and medical skills, the fact that the Ning family would send a young man to treat Ning Lao's illness is practically a slap in the face to him.
But Xue Changchun had been practicing medicine for sixty years, and his temperament was no longer comparable to that of a young person; he no longer got angry.
"Alright, it's kind of you to do this, young man, come on over." Old Ning nodded.
“Old Ning has ALS, which is called flaccid paralysis in traditional Chinese medicine. Judging from the situation, he has had the disease for at least fifteen years,” Ye Xingchen said. “Now he has reached the stage of blood vessel stiffening and yin and yang deficiency.”
"If the treatment is not targeted, he probably only has six months left at most."
As soon as Ye Xingchen finished speaking, everyone in the room looked at him in surprise.
Ning Qingyan shook her head and said, "I didn't say anything. I didn't talk to him about the old man's condition at all on the way."
"Observing qi and making a diagnosis?" Old Xue looked at Ye Xingchen in surprise, no longer showing any contempt.
"Master Xue, if I am not mistaken, you have always used the Xue family's Qimen Nine Needles technique to perform acupuncture on Master Ning, selecting more than a dozen acupoints such as Waiguan, Quchi, and Yangling."
"We are using the traditional Chinese medicine Huqian Pill to nourish the liver and kidneys, and to clear heat and nourish yin. It's the same treatment method used by your grandson Xue Zhen," Ye Xingchen said.
"How did you know? Do you know Xue Zhen?" Old Xue was surprised.
“Elder Xue, Xingchen treated Xinxin before, and Xue Zhen was also present. Xinxin’s illness has been cured,” Ning Qingyan said with a smile.
"Impressive. I've seen that girl's illness before. It was an external wind-toxin infection that had penetrated to the bone. I was wrong to think you could cure her. I underestimated you earlier."
Xue Changchun's expression was solemn. He sat upright and clasped his hands in a fist and palm salute to Ye Xingchen: "I wonder if my young friend has any good ideas for Elder Ning's condition?"
"Yes, there are different types of flaccid paralysis. Xue Lao's treatment was for deficiency of both liver and kidney, but in fact, Ning Lao's condition was due to damp-heat and qi stagnation."
Ye Xingchen said, "Use Simiao Pills to clear heat and promote diuresis, and dredge the meridians, and then perform acupuncture to expel dampness and toxins and clear heat and wind."
“Simply applying acupuncture needles won’t clear the meridians,” Old Xue asked, puzzled.
"May I borrow Elder Xue's needles?" Ye Xingchen smiled slightly.
"Please." Old Master Xue offered his ancestral golden needles.
These are gold needles crafted by artisans commissioned by his ancestors and used by renowned traditional Chinese medicine practitioners; they have acquired a kind of spirituality.
"Good needles." Ye Xingchen took the needles, shook his hands, and began to perform the needling.
With a swift movement of his hands, dozens of golden needles fell instantly. At the same time, he raised his hand to transfer qi, completing the entire action in one smooth motion.
Meanwhile, Xue Changchun seemed to be stared at, his eyes fixed on Ye Xingchen as he performed the acupuncture. He murmured, "Using Qi to guide the needle, and letting the mind follow the method, you have actually reached the legendary realm."
Old Xue was so excited that his hands trembled. Watching Ye Xingchen perform acupuncture, he murmured to himself, "This is real. There really are people in this world who can reach such a level. This... this can bring people back to life!"
Soon, the acupuncture was completed, and Ye Xingchen removed the needles: "Elder Ning, you can try to stand up."
"Stand up?" Ning Xin was taken aback: "My grandfather has been paralyzed for five or six years, and he has no feeling in his legs."
"That was before. After my treatment, he was able to stand up and walk with help. With another half month of recuperation, his illness will be completely cured," Ye Xingchen said confidently.
"Ning Xin, help me up." Old Ning was excited; he felt as if he could feel his legs again.
Ning Xin quickly stepped forward and helped Old Ning up. To everyone's surprise, Old Ning actually managed to stand up with his legs and slowly took steps.
Although she still needs assistance, with careful recuperation, she will be able to get up and walk soon.
"Grandpa, you can walk now?" Ning Xin said in surprise.
"Yes, I feel much better." Old Ning was extremely excited: "Thank you, young man."
"Elder Ning, you should get plenty of rest and follow the prescription. You'll recover soon," Ye Xingchen said with a smile.
"Young friend, you have actually reached the legendary realm. I was rude just now." Xue Changchun then came to his senses: "I dare to ask you for guidance on acupuncture."
“Okay, we’ll have a good chat another time.” Ye Xingchen smiled. He could tell that Ning Qingyan and her grandfather had something to talk about, so he said goodbye, “Miss Ning, I’ll be going now.”
"I'll take you." Ning Qingyan smiled faintly.
"No, I can go back by myself," Ye Xingchen said. "Spend more time with Elder Ning."
Ning Qingyan was taken aback, and then a wave of emotion welled up in her heart. There was indeed a misunderstanding between her and her grandfather. In fact, she also wanted to be closer to her family.
"Ning Xin, go and see Mr. Ye off. I'll thank him in person when I'm better." Old Master Ning said, "Qing Yan, stay and keep me company."
Ning Qingyan hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"Brother Ye, I'll take you home." Ning Xin said with a smile, "Wait for me downstairs for a moment, I'll go get the car."
Ye Xingchen nodded and took the elevator downstairs.
As soon as I got downstairs, I ran into Li Li and Zhou An again.
What a small world! After being humiliated at the club, seeing Ye Xingchen made that scoundrel couple see each other and they were itching to get their hands on him.
"Ye Xingchen, what are you doing here? Oh right, you said you were sick, so you came here for treatment?" Li Li asked angrily.
Ye Xingchen glanced at her but ignored her.
"Heh, do you think he can afford to stay here? This is a luxury hospital; even a regular ward costs several thousand a day." Zhou An sneered. "Even the nurses here have bachelor's degrees. How could a poor wretch like him afford to stay here?"
"Hospitals aren't exactly desirable places. I wouldn't come even if you begged me," Ye Xingchen said calmly.
“You can’t afford to stay here even if you come, Lili. I’ve already pulled some strings, and your dad will be transferred here the day after tomorrow.” Zhou An glanced at Ye Xingchen with disdain. “Besides, I’ve already made an appointment with Doctor Xue. He will personally treat your dad as soon as he’s transferred here.”
"Dr. Xue? Is that Xue Changchun, the king of doctors from the family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners? My goodness, I heard that even our city leaders have to wait in line to see him." Li Li's eyes lit up.
"Of course, Dr. Xue's patients are all powerful and wealthy people. Ordinary people can't hire him even if they have money. I had my dad pull a lot of strings in the city to get him here," Zhou An boasted.
"You're amazing, Zhou An. Choosing you as my boyfriend was absolutely the right decision." Li Li glanced at Ye Xingchen. "We're getting engaged soon. I'll send you the invitation later. You absolutely have to come!"
"Don't worry, I'll definitely be there." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly; he knew what the two of them were up to.
It's nothing more than humiliating themselves; unfortunately, their hopes are about to be dashed.
"But you actually believe Zhou An's boasting? Do you really think Old Master Xue is so easy to invite?"
"Ye Xingchen, shut the hell up! My dad and Old Xue have known each other for over ten years. If I say I can get him, I definitely can," Zhou An said angrily.
"Young friend Ye, please wait." Just then, Xue Changchun hurriedly chased after them, carrying a long box.
"Isn't that Dr. Xue? I've seen his picture on the news." Li Li had sharp eyes and recognized him at a glance.
"Ah, yes, him." Zhou An stammered. He had just been bragging to win Li Li's favor. His father's influence wasn't enough to get Xue Changchun to intervene.
