Ling Yun exclaimed as he followed Xue Meining into the villa. The living room was as big as a school classroom.
Xue Meining stood at the entrance of the bathroom and waved at Ling Yun. "Shampoo, towel, and soap have been prepared for you. Come wash your face and I'll bring you to take a shower."
Ling Yun walked over to Xue Meining and smiled. "There's not much blood on my clothes, so I don't need to shower. Go take care of your grandpa, don't worry about me."
"No, you're all sweaty. How can you not shower? My grandpa asked you to shower, so you should do it. Otherwise, he'll scold me again … "
Perhaps it was because Ling Yun had cured Elder Xue, Xue Meining's attitude became much better.
Ling Yun didn't comment. He entered the bathroom in a flash and began to wash up.
"I'll go take care of grandpa. Call me when you're done."
Xue Meining was still the most worried about Miracle Doctor Xue. After settling Ling Yun down, she rushed to the courtyard.
"Grandpa, why are you standing up?"
Miracle Doctor Xue was pacing in the courtyard when he heard the voice.
"Hehe, Little Ning, don't worry. The Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot is indeed worthy of its name. My blood flow is very smooth now. I'm fine."
Xue Meining walked to Miracle Doctor Xue's side in a few steps. She held onto Miracle Doctor Xue's arm obediently and helped him back to his seat.
"Grandpa, are you really alright?"
"Yes, I'm fine for now. You wronged Ling Yun just now. You shouldn't have treated him like that. You must apologize to him later."
"Grandpa, didn't you say that the Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot can't be used without Xiantian True Qi? Could it be that Ling Yun has reached the Xiantian Realm? "
Xue Meining stuck out her tongue and made a face. Then, she voiced out her doubts.
Miracle Doctor Xue thought for a while and shook his head. "Ling Yun did use a type of Qi when he applied the needles, but I'm sure that it wasn't Xiantian True Qi. Of course, he hasn't reached the Xiantian Realm."
"However, there are many strange things in this world. Ling Yun has a lot of secrets that I can't see through. Now that he's grandpa's savior, you have to get along with him well. Do you understand?"
Miracle Doctor Xue used a solemn and serious tone to remind his precious granddaughter.
Xue Meining bit her lower lip lightly when she saw how much her grandfather valued this shameless fellow. She wanted to retort, but in the end, she could only nod her head.
"Grandfather, are you really willing to give him this set of golden needles?"
Miracle Doctor Xue looked at his granddaughter and asked, "Why? You can't bear to? Didn't you bring him here to plunder grandpa's golden needles? "
Xue Meining blushed and pouted. "Who knew that he wanted needles like this … If I had known, I wouldn't have brought him along …"
Miracle Doctor Xue smiled kindly as he patted Xue Meining's head and said, "Nonsense. If he didn't come, how would grandpa recover? Speaking of which, Grandpa still has to thank you … "
Miracle Doctor Xue's expression suddenly turned serious as he said to Xue Meining, "Ning Er, how do you think we should thank Ling Yun for saving grandpa this time?"
Xue Meining's expression changed as she looked at Miracle Doctor Xue in shock. "Grandpa, you've already given him our family heirloom. How are we going to thank him?"
Miracle Doctor Xue shook his head lightly and said, "Ning Er, you might not know this, but I gave him the nine golden needles because only he knows how to use them! This can't be considered a token of gratitude! "
"For someone who knows how to use the Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot, these nine golden needles are put to good use. It's like a thousand-li horse meeting a talent scout. Only then can it unleash its greatest potential."
"Otherwise, these nine golden needles would have to stay in this jade box forever. How much more valuable would they be compared to the gold bars in the world?"
Xue Meining nodded her head as she listened. However, she pouted and said, "But, grandpa, you don't know how greedy and stingy he is. If he takes advantage of us wanting to repay his kindness and extort us …"
Xue Meining had already experienced Ling Yun's stingy and shameless behavior. She gritted her teeth at the thought of it.
Miracle Doctor Xue smiled faintly as he shook his head. "Ning Er, you're still young. There are some things you still don't understand. Think about it, before Ling Yun was going to perform the acupuncture on me, you were worried and asked him to leave. How did he react?"
"He turned around and left …"
"Isn't that right? If it wasn't for grandpa holding him back, he would have left without looking back. Grandpa can tell that Ling Yun doesn't even care about the nine golden needles that I treasure! He's willing to treat grandpa's illness probably because of grandpa's benevolence towards him in the beginning, not because he wants us to repay him. "
"Then, according to what you've said, we owe him a huge favor?" Xue Meining asked.
Miracle Doctor Xue nodded and did not say anything else.
After Ling Yun finished washing up, he casually wiped his face and walked out slowly.
"Old man, how do you feel now?"
Ling Yun looked at Miracle Doctor Xue's expression and knew that the nine streams of spiritual energy that he had transferred into Miracle Doctor Xue's body had started to take effect. There should be no problem in suppressing the Gu Worm for two months.
"I feel great now. I haven't had such a relaxing time in decades. I didn't expect to be able to enjoy a few more days of peace and comfort at my old age. Thank you so much!"
Old Man Xue felt refreshed and did not hide his gratitude towards Ling Yun.
"Ling Yun, when are you going to help my grandpa force the Gu Worm out of his body?" Xue Meining asked expectantly when she saw Ling Yun coming out.
It seemed like she did not forget that Ling Yun only said to temporarily stop Miracle Doctor Xue's coughing.
Miracle Doctor Xue could not help but frown at his granddaughter's eagerness. He thought to himself, Ning Er thought that someone else is begging me to go out and treat him.
Ling Yun, on the other hand, did not mind at all. He smiled faintly and said, "I can't guarantee that, but I think it should be around two months."
"Really?!"
Xue Meining's big eyes lit up in an instant. She was very happy.
Even the experienced Miracle Doctor Xue was very excited when he heard this. He looked at Ling Yun with anticipation.
"That's great, I'll bring you to take a bath!" Xue Meining was so excited that she ran to him and pulled him into the house.
"There's no need. I've already washed it clean. There are only a few spots of blood on my clothes. It's not a big deal."
Miracle Doctor Xue said, "Ling Yun, you saved this old man's life, so we are a family now. Treat this place as your own home, don't be shy!"
Miracle Doctor Xue thought that Ling Yun was embarrassed and couldn't let it go.
Reserved? Ling Yun was used to all kinds of grand occasions, so he really didn't know what it meant to be reserved. He just felt that it was unnecessary.
"Well, old man, it's a doctor's duty to save people. Now, I can only say that I stopped your cough. I can't say that I saved your life. Besides, I've also received your golden needles."
Ling Yun said these polite words very seriously. There was nothing to lose by saying these polite words, so it would be a waste not to say them.
Then, he said, "You don't have to take a bath, but I have a request."
Hearing this, Xue Meining's heart skipped a beat. She thought that Ling Yun wouldn't really ask for too much, would he?
Actually, with Miracle Doctor Xue's status, even if Ling Yun asked for too much, Miracle Doctor Xue would still be able to fulfill his request. However, if that was the case, Ling Yun's image in Xue Meining's heart would inevitably be affected.
In Xue Meining's heart, Ling Yun was a strong man and a hero. If a hero were to ask for something in return for saving someone's life, she would definitely feel uncomfortable.
Miracle Doctor Xue, on the other hand, was at ease. He smiled and nodded, "What is it? As long as this old man can do it, I'll do my best to help you! "
Ling Yun's lips curled into a bright smile as he said, "As long as you can give me a set of ordinary silver needles, it will save me the trouble of going out to buy more."
It was true that he had obtained nine golden needles, but these nine golden needles could only be used when he encountered difficult and complicated diseases. If he used them to treat headaches and fever, it would be like using a cannon to kill a mosquito, or using a butcher's knife to kill a chicken.
Xue Meining's nervous expression immediately relaxed as her face turned slightly red. She thought to herself, What's wrong with me? Why do I always think the worst of others?
Miracle Doctor Xue immediately understood Ling Yun's intention. He smiled happily and nodded his head vigorously. "That's all? Don't talk about one set, I'll even give you ten sets! "
"Ning Er, what are you waiting for? Take out my favorite set of silver needles! "
Xue Meining's lips curled into a smile as she replied and ran straight into the house.
In less than three minutes, Xue Meining came out with a dark red leather bag in her hand. She handed it to Miracle Doctor Xue.
The leather bag was neither too big nor too small. It looked simple and unadorned. It was as wide as an adult's palm and was rolled into a cylindrical shape with a bright yellow silk strip tied in the middle.
Miracle Doctor Xue held the cylindrical leather bag in his right hand and rubbed it carefully as if he was caressing his beloved child.
Then, he untied the silk strip and opened the leather bag. Ling Yun realized that the leather bag was more than fifty centimeters long and was filled with two rows of shiny silver needles of different lengths.
"There are a total of eighty-one silver needles."
Miracle Doctor Xue did not even raise his head as he stared at the silver needles.
Xue Meining glanced at Ling Yun and thought to herself, These are the silver needles that my grandfather used for his medical practice. You're really lucky.
"Old man, I only need them for emergencies. Just give me any set of silver needles for me to practice with. I won't need them after three months …"
Ling Yun was a smart person. He could naturally see Miracle Doctor Xue's reluctance.
Miracle Doctor Xue finally raised his head. He stared at Ling Yun and said seriously, "Ling Yun, to be honest, to me, this set of silver needles is more useful than the nine golden needles. I mainly rely on these silver needles to save people."
However, since you need them, I'll give them to you. I hope that you can use them to cure more people who are seriously ill. "
Ling Yun nodded his head in embarrassment. He thought to himself, If you know that I mainly use them for self-defense, you'll definitely be furious.
After Miracle Doctor Xue finished speaking, he held the leather bag with both hands and handed it over to Ling Yun.
Ling Yun rolled up the leather bag again and tied it with a bright yellow silk strip before putting it in his pocket.
"Old man, thank you for the silver needles. I'll return them to you after some time."
