For a moment, all eyes fell on Murong Mingyue.
Murong Mingyue was filled with inner struggle, whether it be Sun Xiude or Qin Chuan, they were both figures she couldn’t afford to offend.
Sun Xiude claimed he could guarantee to extend Murong Fu’s life by three months.
Yet Qin Chuan had stated that aside from him, no one could effectively treat Murong Fu.
Reason told her she should choose Qin Chuan, but Qin Chuan was just too young; could his medical skills really be as powerful as his martial path?
Just when Murong Mingyue was at a loss, Master Feng suddenly spoke up, "Miss, let Mr. Qin take action."
"What?"
As Master Feng’s words fell, they immediately stirred up a storm of shock, and everyone looked at Master Feng in astonishment.
Has this old fellow gone mad?
He was actually advising Murong Mingyue to choose a young man under thirty to treat the Murong family head.
Sun Xiude’s mouth twitched; as one of National Medical Hall’s four Saintly Hands, where was he not held in reverence?
And now, he was being treated as a mere option to choose from.
"Feng Qiu, are you aware of what you are saying?"
Ding Wei immediately became furious, pointing at Qin Chuan and glaring at Master Feng, he said, "You want a mere twenty-something youngster to treat the family head?"
"If something happens to the family head, can you bear the responsibility?"
After scolding Master Feng, he quickly said to Sun Xiude, "Sage Hand Sun, since you’ve been invited by the Murong family’s Third Master to treat the family head, just go ahead and do it without minding the others."
Sun Xiude ignored Ding Wei and instead looked at Murong Mingyue.
Although he was invited by Murong Mingyue’s third uncle, here, Murong Mingyue was the sole legitimate descendant, and everything depended on her choice.
At the same time, he was quite displeased with Murong Mingyue’s hesitation.
Upon hearing Ding Wei’s words, Master Feng also grew angry, pointing at him and retorting, "What do you, this old fool, know? Mr. Qin may be young, but his medical skills far exceed those of a waste like you."
"Sage Hand Sun stands at the pinnacle of Shen Zhou’s medical community, but he too said that he could only maintain the family head’s life for three months."
"Whereas Mr. Qin can completely cure the family head’s ailment; who to choose for treatment shouldn’t even need consideration."
Master Feng’s words also instantly awakened Murong Mingyue.
If Sun Xiude were to take action, at most he could only prolong Murong Fu’s life by three months, but Qin Chuan could heal Murong Fu.
Murong Mingyue made up her mind and suddenly looked at Qin Chuan with a determined face, "Mr. Qin..."
Just as she was about to speak, Qin Chuan inwardly sighed, suddenly looked at Sun Xiude, and said, "Since you believe you have the means to extend the Murong family head’s life by three months, then you go ahead and treat him first!"
With these words, both Murong Mingyue and Master Feng were stunned.
Everyone else was also shocked; nobody had expected that the young man who had just claimed he could cure Murong Fu would voluntarily step aside.
"I knew it, this kid is nothing but a jumping clown; obviously, he knows he can’t cure the family head and now he’s chickened out."
"What status does Sage Hand Sun have, and what is his status? He’s not even qualified to carry Sage Hand Sun’s shoes!"
"This young man is simply trash, daring to curry favor with the Murong family to such an extent, if it wasn’t for Sage Hand Sun’s arrival, he might have just treated him carelessly and been done with it, after all, our doctor had already declared the family head dead."
...
The onlooking medical staff were all pointing fingers and whispering about Qin Chuan.
Ding Wei snorted coldly and said, "Kid, it seems you know your place!"
Yu Lin, however, gave Qin Chuan a meaningful look. Others may not have caught Qin Chuan’s words earlier, but he did.
The word "first" in what Qin Chuan said indicated that he did not believe Sun Xiude could extend Murong Fu’s life by three months.
Was he waiting for Sun Xiude to fail in his treatment before stepping in to save the day?
For some reason, Yu Lin, who had been severely wounded by the young man with a single strike, suddenly found himself filled with anticipation.
Sun Xiude snorted coldly and immediately went to Murong Fu’s side to start his examination.
"Mr. Qin, you..."
Master Feng approached Qin Chuan and intended to ask in a low voice.
Before he could finish, Qin Chuan turned to Murong Mingyue and said, "Since I have accepted your items, I will not just watch as your grandfather is treated to death. Don’t worry."
Murong Mingyue was immediately moved; she knew that Qin Chuan did not want to put her in a difficult position.
With tear-filled eyes, she said to Qin Chuan, "Mr. Qin, thank you!"
"Hmph!"
Sun Xiude glared at Qin Chuan and said coldly, "I have found the method to treat him. Within ten minutes, I guarantee that Murong Fu will wake up and his life will be successfully extended by three months!"
Clearly, he had heard what Qin Chuan just said and felt that Qin Chuan was insulting him.
Qin Chuan said expressionlessly, "I already said that no one but me can cure the Murong Family Head."
"You..."
Anger boiling within him, Sun Xiude said through gritted teeth, "Then just watch how I awaken the Murong Family Head!"
After speaking, he opened his medicine box, and President Zhu Changqing hurried forward, his face obsequiously saying, "Sage Hand Sun, let me assist you!"
Sun Xiude promptly started the treatment, first taking out a silver needle and inserting it with great precision into Murong Fu’s Tianchi Point.
He then took five or six more silver needles from Zhu Changqing, one after another, without hesitation as he placed them.
Within five short minutes, Murong Fu’s body was covered with silver needles.
"Truly worthy of being the Saintly Hand from the National Medical Hall, even the technique of needle dropping in acupuncture is a pleasure to watch, with each needle swift, accurate, and forceful. The Murong Family Head is saved."
"Sage Hand Sun is indeed a medical genius from the Medical Family. It’s said that he began gathering herbs on the mountains with his grandfather from the age of three, was able to identify over a thousand Chinese medicinal herbs by the age of eight, and started attending to patients with his grandfather at the age of twelve."
"If even Sage Hand Sun cannot cure the patient, who else in the world can?"
...
Watching Sun Xiude’s exquisite acupuncture skills, all the medical staff were filled with admiration.
Qin Chuan also nodded inwardly. Though the old fellow was arrogant, his medical skills were indeed remarkable.
However, Murong Fu’s illness was not something that could be cured by common medical practices.
Sun Xiude’s treatment methods simply could not extend Murong Fu’s life by three months.
As the ten minutes were about to pass, Sun Xiude was still treating Murong Fu, but sweat had begun to bead on his forehead, and his face showed signs of confusion and urgency.
Ding Wei, standing to the side, watched with excitement and shot Qin Chuan a cold glance, saying, "Kid, watch closely, the Family Head will awaken soon."
Qin Chuan chuckled coldly, "Not to mention ten minutes, even after ten days, the Murong Family Head won’t awaken!"
