Su Ruojin didn't even glance at Ma Yun'an: "I don't care whose disciple you are. Someone who can't even distinguish between sudden fainting and heart palpitations, what else is he but a quack? If I were your master, I would have kicked you out of the sect long ago."
Sudden fainting usually presents with symptoms such as dizziness and vomiting. Look at this old man; he's completely clean, there's no vomit on him, his lips are bluish, his pulse is barely perceptible, and he's almost completely breathing. This is hardly a simple case of sudden fainting.
The young man standing to the side had previously heard what Ma Yun'an said and looked at Su Ruojin with some worry in his eyes.
What if this little girl really did the wrong acupuncture as Dr. Ma said, and something happens to her grandfather?
Seeing Su Ruojin's calm and composed demeanor, even though he couldn't understand her acupuncture technique, he could tell that this young girl was indeed knowledgeable in medicine.
What started as worry gradually turned into trust.
At this moment, he also spoke up to defend the little girl: "Dr. Ma, if you are unwilling to help, then don't stop this doctor from treating my grandfather."
Ma Yun'an was humiliated by this rebuke and shouted angrily, "I am the personal disciple of Doctor Cai, how can I be compared to this random country bumpkin? If you believe her, you'll be waiting to collect your grandfather's corpse in a moment."
He was a disciple of the renowned physician Cai, and even the prefect of Yanyang would give him some face. Now that he was being questioned as a quack, where would he put his face? He was so angry that his eyes turned red.
A woman next to her curled her lip and said, "He stood by and did nothing to help, and now he's making sarcastic remarks. I don't think this 'Dr. Cai's' disciple is any good."
"That's right."
Seeing that everyone's previous respectful attitude towards him had now turned into one of disgust, Ma Yun'an's voice became distorted with anger: "Fine, you can believe her then. Don't come begging to me if there are any problems later. I won't clean up other people's messes. If she can cure him, I'll kneel down and kowtow to her."
"If you're not capable, don't yell here and interfere with my rescue. Move aside. If you want to kowtow, I'll let you kowtow as much as you want later." Su Ruojin looked disgusted, her eyes filled with suppressed anger.
If Ma Yun'an continues to spout nonsense, she wouldn't mind poisoning him to make him mute, so he wouldn't be a nuisance.
She hates these quack doctors the most. They think they're superior just because they have some medical skills. They can't cure people themselves, and they even interfere with other people's efforts to save them.
The young man stepped forward and blocked Ma Yun'an's way: "Please step back a few steps, don't interfere with the doctor's work."
The young man had been kneeling on the ground begging him earlier, and Ma Yun'an hadn't felt anything about it. But now the man was standing in front of him, a head taller than him.
Young people often do farm work, so they are exceptionally strong, which is incomparable to him, a doctor who is weak and unable to even kill a chicken.
Ma Yun'an involuntarily took a few steps back, flicking his sleeves: "I want to see how you kill someone!"
No one disturbed her while she was administering the acupuncture, and Su Ruojin finished administering the last acupuncture needle.
The old man's brows furrowed visibly, and his eyelids twitched slightly.
Those around him exclaimed, "He's awake!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Yun'an's expression changed drastically. He stepped forward to look and saw the old man slowly open his eyes.
He knew that even if he administered the acupuncture himself, he couldn't possibly wake someone up so quickly in this situation.
It would take three consecutive days of acupuncture treatment, along with herbal decoctions, to have any chance of waking the elderly person up.
This little girl can wake someone up with just one acupuncture treatment.
How did she do that?!
"Iron... Iron Pillar..." the old man uttered weakly.
Tie Zhu quickly stepped forward and grabbed the old man's hand: "Grandfather, I'm here, I'm here."
The older woman watching couldn't believe it: "Young lady, you're really amazing! After just one acupuncture treatment, the old man woke up."
"Tch, it's just a lucky break. Young man, I advise you to take your grandfather to the clinic for another check-up. Don't let him look better on the surface, only to find out he's been pricked up with some strange disease." Ma Yun'an sneered from the side.
