After using the last needle, Huo Yao straightened her body and exhaled heavily. Her face was slightly pale, and her smooth forehead was covered in beads of sweat.
Old Mr. Pei snapped out of his daze and looked at Huo Yao. "That's it?"
Huo Yao picked up a napkin and wiped the sweat on her forehead. She said calmly, "Not yet. I'm just inserting the needles into the acupoints. I'll pull them out after I probe the acupoints."
Disbelief and confusion filled Old Mr. Pei's face when he heard this. He knew about acupuncture, but he had no idea about probing acupoints.
She wanted to ask, but she was a little embarrassed.
This was because he felt that his medical skills, which he was so proud of, were no different from a beginner's skill when compared to the little girl's.
In particular, the girl's judgment and understanding of acupoints were even better than an old Chinese doctor who had lived for 70 or 80 years.
That made him feel very stifled.
Huo Yao pulled up a chair and sat down by the bed. Then she checked Min Yu's pulse. Her pretty brows smoothed out. "How do you feel now?"
Only Huo Yao and Old Mr. Pei were in the room. Zhuo Yun and Yang Yi had left the room when Huo Yao inserted the needles.
Min Yu could no longer force a smile on his face. He looked at Huo Yao quietly with his deep eyes. After some time, he moved his lips and said firmly, "Great."
Huo Yao nodded and said calmly, "Sounds good."
Min Yu was speechless.
Huo Yao raised her hand to check the time. She turned to Old Mr. Pei and said, "Old Mr. Pei, you can go and get some rest. I can handle this."
Old Mr. Pei had wanted to stay and see how it worked, but when he heard Huo Yao's words, he could not help but feel tempted. However, he knew it was pointless to stay, so he reluctantly left the room.
Zhuo Yun and Yang Yi, who were waiting outside, hurriedly asked when they saw Old Mr. Pei. "How was it?"
Old Mr. Pei looked at the two of them. He was no longer as solemn as before. He stroked his beard and said calmly, "Huo Yao is here. What are you worried about?"
When Zhuo Yun and Yang Yi heard Old Mr. Pei's words, the anxiety in their hearts eased.
"Huo Yao's medical skills are probably better than mine. Let her take care of Young Master Min in the future. There might be hope for him to recover," said Old Mr. Pei with a sigh.
It was true that the new generation surpassed the old.
Zhuo Yun and Yang Yi looked at each other in astonishment.
He knew that Huo Yao was a top-notch apothecary, but he never expected her medical skills to be superior to even Old Mr. Pei. This was... horrifying.
He was only eighteen years old. What did that mean?!
It was completely unimaginable.
"I'm going back first." Old Mr. Pei waved at them and headed for the stairs.
After taking two steps, he paused and turned back to add. "Oh yes. You can prepare some ginseng soup for Huo Yao to replenish her energy. She will be exhausted after performing acupuncture on Young Master Min tonight."
Yang Yi nodded and walked over. "Old Mr. Pei, let me walk you out."
"Then I'll get someone to cook something for Miss Huo." Zhuo Yun automatically accepted the task.
Old Mr. Pei left the villa before long.

Huo Yao rested for a while in the bedroom before continuing with the acupuncture.
The method of using silver needles to probe acupoints was rather complicated, and it was a special secret technique that the Shangguan Clan was most proud of. It was so special that it could save a person who was on his last breath.
