"You little brat, you've been stalking me for the past ten years? Have you been doing nothing but eating for me all this time...?"
After leaving the Black Mist Forest, Yan An returned to the inn where she had come from. After washing up carefully and resting for a while, she packed her luggage, had a simple meal in the guest room, and then left wearing a veil.
As Yan An passed through Qingyun City, he saw a pharmacy. Thinking that he was running low on some medicinal herbs, he decided to buy some more. He turned around and prepared to enter the pharmacy.
"Doctor, doctor, please come and save my mother!"
A richly dressed man was holding a woman, and next to him was a man in his early twenties, who was the man and woman's child, the young master of Qingyun City.
The woman was plump and well-proportioned, with regular and delicate features. She had a strand of white hair at her temples, which would not be noticed unless you looked closely. She must have been a beauty that could rival the most beautiful women in her youth.
When Doctor Liu saw that the visitor was the City Lord of Qingyun City and the patient was the City Lord's wife, he quickly ushered them into the clinic and conducted a thorough examination.
"Lord Qingcheng, the Lady of the City is... she has chest pain, I..." Doctor Liu stammered nervously and fearfully.
"What do you mean, what's wrong with my wife? Please give her the medicine quickly!"
The city lord's wife was the first wife of the Qingcheng Lord. After their marriage, the two were a loving and harmonious couple. When the wife suddenly fell ill, the Qingcheng Lord was extremely anxious and hurriedly sent her to the most skilled doctor in Qingyun City.
“Lord Qingcheng, please calm down. Madam is having a chest pain attack, and her breathing is now obstructed. I… I am powerless to help her. Perhaps you should try another clinic?” Doctor Liu asked tentatively in a low voice, also out of fear.
"This is the best clinic in all of Qingyun City, and you are the best doctor here!! Give my wife a couple of acupuncture needles, didn't you just get her qi flowing smoothly after a couple of needles before?"
Lord Qing grabbed Doctor Liu's shoulders and shook him. Upon hearing Doctor Liu's reply, his feet felt light, and he was only able to stay upright thanks to Young Master Qing's support.
"Alright, alright, I'll insert two needles. If... Lord Qingcheng, please don't blame me."
Doctor Liu took his silver needles and inserted them into the statue of the city lord's wife when she fell ill, but she didn't wake up. Doctor Liu was terrified, and his hands trembled involuntarily.
"Lord Qingcheng, I am truly powerless to help." He then knelt down to pay his respects to Lord Qingcheng.
Lord Qingcheng walked a few steps toward his wife's bedside, held her hand, his eyes filled with tears, and suddenly looked as if he had aged more than ten years.
“I can save her.” Yan An walked out from the crowd and looked at the Lord of Qingcheng, whose eyes were red and whose body was trembling involuntarily.
When the apprentice beside Doctor Liu saw that it was a young girl wearing a veil, who looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, he couldn't help but speak coldly.
"Even my master is powerless, so you're just a teenage girl. Hurry up and leave, don't waste time here."
“Lord Qingcheng, since even Doctor Liu is helpless, why not let me give it a try? What if I can save this lady?”
Yan An was dressed in a simple dress, unlike a lady from a wealthy family, but her overall demeanor was quite convincing.
Yan An didn't intend to deal with them. She would save them if they asked, and not save them if they didn't. Although saving lives was considered a great achievement, she didn't want to cause any trouble.
“Lord Qingcheng, since this young lady has a solution, why not let her try it? If it works, wouldn’t that be a win-win situation?”
Doctor Liu is now at his wit's end, fearing that if he makes a mistake, Lord Qingcheng will blame him. Now someone is saying that being able to save the lady is truly saving his life.
“Father, since Doctor Liu has run out of ideas, and we don’t have anyone with better medical skills than him, why don’t we let this young lady give it a try? Maybe she can save Mother.”
Young Master Qingyu looked at the woman who was covering her face. Her eyes were bright and clear, innocent yet playful, giving off a cold and beautiful feeling. He couldn't help but feel a bit of trust in this girl.
Lord Qingcheng stood up and made way for Yan An, indicating that Yan An should begin treating the patient.
To avoid attracting attention, Yan An used a package to take out golden needles from his spatial storage and inserted them into the acupoints. His needle insertion was swift, accurate, and ruthless, each needle precise and smooth, all done in one go. Yan An's needle insertion technique was a level that most people could never reach even after a lifetime of study. And the girl in front of him was only a teenager. Even Doctor Liu next to him couldn't help but sigh in amazement.
At this moment, Lord Qingcheng and Qingyu felt that the young girl in front of them might really have a way to cure Madam.
Yan An took out a bottle of nitroglycerin pills from the package. These were an upgraded version of modern medicine, which would be effective with just one pill instead of more than ten when the illness occurred. There were more than twenty pills in the bottle.
Yan An took out a nitroglycerin pill, placed it in the city lord's wife's mouth, and jerked her chin up, making her swallow it. He then deftly withdrew the golden needle.
"Alright, the lady will wake up in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."
Yan An turned and sat down on the chair next to him. The city lord's wife on the bed was breathing smoothly and her face was getting rosy, showing signs of improvement.
After an incense stick had burned, the city lord's wife said, "Jieheng, what's wrong with me? Cough cough cough..." She tried to sit up, but the city lord quickly reached out to help her sit up.
"Madam is awake! That's wonderful! Madam is awake!" Lord Qingcheng's eyes unconsciously reddened again.
“My mother’s heart condition has flared up again. Doctor Liu said there’s no cure. Luckily, we met a goddess doctor…” Qingyu turned around to bow to Yan An, but Yan An reached out and took her bow. They smiled at each other and shook their heads.
The city lord's wife stood up, intending to bow to Yan An to express her gratitude for saving her life. "Madam, please do not move. You need to rest more now. I saved you because the city lord said he would give you five hundred taels of silver as a reward, right, city lord?"
Yan An smiled playfully. Although she was wearing a veil, the slight movement of her eyes revealed her smile.
Lord Qingcheng knew that Yan An had just been distrustful of him and hadn't made any promises to him. Feeling somewhat ashamed, Lord Qingcheng immediately took out five hundred taels of silver and handed them to Yan An.
