Seeing Su Yi pulling Xia Liu and continually calling him Divine Doctor.
A few doctors and Liang Caiming were utterly flabbergasted. What in the world was going on?
Xia Liu inwardly bitter-smiled, thinking when had he ever met Su Yi before.
It turned out to be something Lin Hongsheng had told him, which made sense.
"Divine Doctor Xia Liu, I wish to take you as my master." After being excited for quite a while, Su Yi suddenly came forward to ask to become a disciple.
The people present once again suffered a shock of ten thousand volts. Su Yi was actually asking Xia Liu to be his master!
This news, if spread, would certainly cause a stir in the Huaxia medical community.
Who was Su Yi? He was a member of the Peak of the Huaxia medical community!
It was a great honor to become his disciple, yet now he wanted to take someone in their twenties as his master; this was simply unbelievable.
What was even more unbelievable to everyone was that Xia Liu actually refused! Refused!
"Director Su, there's no need for taking discipleship. It would be nice to have the opportunity to discuss and research medical skills together," Xia Liu said.
Xia Liu was already bitter to the extreme; how awkward it must be for an old man to want to take him as a master.
However, he understood that Su Yi was diligent and eager to learn, having such a mentality was commendable.
"You said it yourself, we'll research together when there's an opportunity," Su Yi didn't feel unhappy, on the contrary, he was even more delighted.
Xia Liu speaking was to regard him as an equal, which was enough to boast about for a lifetime.
"That... can my mother's illness really be cured?" Liang Caiming couldn't help but ask weakly in surprise.
"Well..." Su Yi looked at Xia Liu, not daring to speak as he also wasn't quite sure if Xia Liu could cure the illness.
The reason he behaved as he had was partly to make a good impression on Xia Liu and partly because of Lin Hongsheng's influence.
If Xia Liu's medical skills were truly remarkable, and he remained unmoved, that would mean losing a tremendous opportunity, but if Xia Liu couldn't practice medicine, then he hadn't lost anything. As for reputation, he had long tossed it aside.
"Yes, it will be done in half an hour," Xia Liu nodded, full of confidence.
"That's right, all of you go wait outside. Come back in after half an hour," Xia Liu didn't want to explain further; actions would prove more than words ever could.
Everyone didn't dare to ask further, they were all eager to know how Xia Liu would create a miracle in half an hour.
Seeing her mother on the hospital bed, Liang Caiming's eyes reddened slightly, then she followed Su Yi out of the ward.

After everyone had left, Xia Liu didn't wait.
He spread the cloth, revealing the silver needles to the air.
The Fire Spirit Energy sterilized while the Wooden Spirit Energy calmed the mind and replenished the spirit. The silver needles, in combination with various Spiritual Energies, continuously penetrated Su Lihua's body.
Fifteen minutes later, Xia Liu took back the silver needles; his face had turned slightly paler than before.
He could endure several rounds of treatment at this intensity.
After the needles were removed, Su Lihua also woke up; it was discomfort that roused her.
She bolted up from the bed, and the discomfort in her stomach made her turn around and vomit at the bedside for a while.
Watching this, Xia Liu continued to gently pat her back.
"Auntie, do you feel better?"
"Who are you? What just happened to me?" Looking at the dark vomit on the floor, then back at Xia Liu, Su Lihua was very puzzled.
"I'm Caiming's good friend. I was treating you just now, and from now on, you'll be able to live normally," Xia Liu replied with a smile.
"I can live normally from now on?"
"Yes, Auntie, your illness is all cured," Xia Liu confirmed.
Upon receiving Xia Liu's confirmation, Su Lihua sat on the hospital bed in a daze, not knowing how to express her emotions at that moment.
Since her cancer diagnosis, her life had plunged into despair.
Then the incident with the house happened, and she had thought of suicide, as it would ease her daughter's burden.
And now, her illness was cured; she hadn't even fully come to terms with it yet.
She carefully felt her body and found that her vision was clearer than before, and the oppressive sensation in her chest and the pain in her stomach had completely vanished.
Her illness was truly gone!
When Su Lihua fully came to her senses, she kept thanking Xia Liu and also asked about his relationship with Liang Caiming.
To this, Xia Liu gave vague answers; he and Liang Caiming had only met the day before, saying too much would surely give him away.
As he was feeling troubled, the door to the ward opened, and Liang Caiming ran in quickly.
Seeing her mother awake, she didn't say a word, but cried out and threw herself into Su Lihua's arms: "Mom!"
"Caiming, my good daughter, Mom has been a burden to you."
As mother and daughter shared their feelings, Xia Liu quietly left the ward.
"Xia Liu, Divine Doctor, is the patient cured?" Su Yi immediately asked when he saw Xia Liu come out.
"Mhm, she's almost fine, just a bit weak. She'll be good with some more nourishment," Xia Liu replied.
"Ah! That's really great!" Su Yi was so excited that his mind went blank for a moment; he had no idea what to say to Xia Liu.
A few doctors standing nearby each harbored their own thoughts.
But they were secretly skeptical of Xia Liu.
Think about it, Xia Liu had only been inside for how long? Less than half an hour.
In fact, they had heard Su Lihua's voice within just ten minutes or so.
And now, Su Yi was insisting on taking Xia Liu to the office for tea.
Seeing their chance, several doctors took Su Lihua to undergo various tests.
In the end, the results came out: Su Lihua was cured! Truly cured!
This left the group dumbfounded in the examination room.
"Caiming, who was that young man who treated my illness just now?" Su Lihua asked Liang Caiming while resting in the ward.
"Him? Just a friend I just met," Liang Caiming replied as she peeled an apple.
However, from that moment until now, Xia Liu's image had constantly been lingering in her mind.
From the old house to being rescued from Doctor Zhang's hands, and finally treating her mother's illness.
He was too miraculous, too captivating…
"Caiming, you've never been good at lying. Be honest with me, do you like him?" Su Lihua saw right through her daughter's thoughts and asked with a half smile.
"Mom! What are you talking about? I haven't yet provided you with a good life; how could I possibly like a boy!" Liang Caiming replied excitedly.
"My daughter, don't worry about me; if you like him, go after him. I can see that this young man is very good. Moreover, he has restored me to health. Just for that, we can't repay him."
"I will help him with his work, even if it's for ten or twenty years."
"Naive, do you think he can't find other workers? Take advantage of your youth and take the initiative; maybe he'll take a fancy to you," Su Lihua kept persuading, having seriously considered it.
Xia Liu truly is a good man, and he's skilled in medicine. Just that alone is enough to captivate anyone.
What's more, he cured her, and they needed to repay him; otherwise, it would be unethical.
And perhaps the only thing they could offer him in return was this daughter…
