Su Chen paused slightly and glanced at Xu Yizhen as he asked casually.
With that question, he essentially acknowledged his own identity.
And Xu Yizhen's eyes suddenly emitted an incredibly intense fervor, even more frantic than the gaze of young girls upon seeing their idol!
Seeing the old man's appearance, Su Chen remained indifferent and continued to focus on the treatment.
Although he usually behaved nonchalantly and lacked formality, he was wholeheartedly devoted when it came to treating illnesses.
Besides, the condition of Old Master Pei was truly dire. Had they not found him, no one else would have stood a chance of curing the man!
"Divine Doctor Xu, what Ghost Doctor? I've never heard of such a person," Pei Hua asked with confusion, supporting the old master's body. The others also looked at Xu Yizhen with similar bewilderment.
"The Ghost Doctor is a legend within our world of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It's said that no one treated by him has ever failed to be cured," Xu Yizhen said with a face full of emotion:
"He once said, 'Aside from the dead, there is no one I cannot save!'"
On hearing this, everyone's body shook violently!
It sounded like a simple statement, but the implication was truly staggering!
This meant that there was no one in this world that he couldn't save!
This guy, quite audacious!
Hearing this, Su Chen couldn't help but curl his lips. When did I ever say such a thing?
Although he was confident in his medical skills, he never was that arrogant!
After all, he was no immortal!
"However, the Ghost Doctor is very mysterious. Hardly anyone has seen what he looks like, and nobody knows his age, height, weight, or even his gender," Xu Yizhen continued with pride.
"Then how do you know this Mr. Su is the Ghost Doctor?"
After hesitating for a moment, Pei Hua asked another question.
"Do you think the 'Ghost Brushing Hand' anyone could just learn?"
Xu Yizhen said with a somewhat haughty snort, as if the move had been performed by him.
Actually, under normal circumstances, Xu Yizhen wouldn't dare speak to Pei Hua this way. However, the mention of the Ghost Doctor's name involuntarily bolstered his confidence.
"But I had always thought that a master like the Ghost Doctor would at least be an elderly person well advanced in years. I never imagined he would be a young man in his twenties!" he continued to reflect, this point also being the most shocking to him.
The Ghost Doctor, just a young man in his twenties—likely no one would have imagined that!
If he told his colleagues, they would definitely think he had gone mad!
After all, in the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine, there is a saying: 'The older, the more valuable.'
That's because Chinese medicine requires the accumulation of experience and time. Without immersing oneself for a long period, it is impossible to reach that level of skill.
And as the Ghost Doctor was already a legendary figure in the world of Chinese medicine, everyone naturally assumed he was an elderly man of transcendent bearing!
The young man before them completely contradicted the image they had envisioned in their minds. They were completely different!
"Are you saying that this gentleman can truly save my father?"
Pei Hua, who usually gave off an impression of cool detachment, could no longer contain his excitement.
"If even the Ghost Doctor cannot save him, no one else in this world can. That would just mean Old Master was fated to face this tribulation!"
Xu Yizhen shook his head slowly and sighed. Then, in a drastic change of tone, he declared firmly:
"But since the Ghost Doctor has said he can save him, then he most certainly can!"
His confidence seemed even greater than Su Chen's. At this moment, Xu Yizhen bore none of the aloof dignity of a saintly healer. He had completely become the Ghost Doctor's little fanboy—albeit a fanboy of quite an advanced age.
The vice president next to him, despite not being very familiar with Traditional Chinese Medicine, knew of Xu Yizhen's abilities. To be so highly regarded by him—what sort of extraordinary being was this?
The white-clothed woman sitting in the wheelchair had been quietly listening all along without saying a word, but she murmured to herself in her heart:
"So you are the Ghost Doctor!"
At this moment, Su Chen's treatment was at a critical juncture, and simultaneously, Pei Ji had brought in a steaming bowl of traditional Chinese medicine.
Su Chen paid no attention to the crowd and performed the Ghost Brushing Hand two more times, causing the silver needles in the patient's back to tremble.
If one looked closely, they would notice that the needles' rhythm was very regular, not at all chaotic!
"Everyone step aside!"
With a low shout from Su Chen, everyone immediately stood by the door or beside the window.
"You too, go over there."
Seeing that Pei Hua was still supporting the elder, Su Chen spoke to him.
Pei Hua immediately let go of the elder and moved to the side of the window.
With the body's support, the Pei family elder did not fall; Su Chen immediately slapped the area beneath the elder's throat and the back of his neck.
A loud sound echoed, and the silver needles on the elder's body shot out, each sinking half an inch into the wall, with precision!
Everyone was stunned at the sight, unable to believe their eyes!
You have to understand that the walls were tiled, and those fine Silver Needles were actually able to penetrate the tiles—what formidable strength that must take!
By this time, Su Chen's shirt was also drenched in sweat, and strands of his hair were stuck to his forehead.
"Bring the medicine!"
Su Chen stretched out his hand.
Pei Ji hurriedly handed over the bowl of medicine.
"Did you make it exactly as I instructed?"
"Rest assured, everything is accurate, it was brewed exactly as you directed, and afterwards, two ice cubes were added."
Supporting the Pei family elder's back with one hand and holding the medicine bowl with the other, Su Chen slowly poured the medicine down his throat.
"All done, he will wake up soon."
Su Chen laid the Pei family elder down, clapped his hands, and said.
"Thank you, thank you so much!"
The members of the Pei family came up to shake his hand, their expressions filled with gratitude!
"There's no need to thank me; if anyone, thank Auntie Pei."
"If it weren't for Auntie Pei, even if all the Pei family members died, I wouldn't have lifted a finger!"
With these words, the crowd inevitably felt awkward.
However, since he had just saved the elder, no one said anything, though their hearts were somewhat resentful.
At the same time, they were perplexed as to why this young man seemed to bear such deep animosity towards the Pei family?
"Xiao Su, no matter what, Auntie still wants to thank you!"
Pei Rou earnestly took Su Chen's hand and gently patted it as she spoke.
"Auntie Pei, you're too serious!"
Su Chen sighed lightly.
"Mr. Su, do you perhaps have some misunderstanding with my Pei family?"
The lady in white asked again; she had asked before, but Pei Rou's subsequent kneeling had interrupted, and he had not answered at that time.
"Yeah, Su Chen, why do you seem to hate my grandfather's family so much?"
Tang Yun also felt that Su Chen's attitude towards the Pei family members was mystifying…
