Chapter 18: Chapter 18 Why is the brick so red?
Speaking, Ye Tian walked toward Miao Dong, who tried to stop him, but with a slight tremor of his hand, Miao Dong staggered backward, nearly landing on his butt.
Professor Sun hesitated and looked toward Ye Tian, "Young man, the patient has already passed away, you..."
"If something happens, I'll take responsibility," Ye Tian glanced at him, instantly knowing what he meant—it was simply fear of taking responsibility.
After Ye Tian had said this, Professor Sun stayed quiet on the side. The family had agreed, so he had no place to intervene.
At the same time, Professor Sun looked at Ye Tian with curiosity. Did he really have the skills, or was he faking it? But to pretend in such a situation was to slap his own face—medical skill isn't something you can learn casually; it requires true knowledge and expertise!
Approaching Liu Yun, Ye Tian slowly removed the white cloth from his head, gazing at the pale and cold face beneath it, while Liu Fei'er's mother beside him broke into heart-wrenching sobs.
Ye Tian gave her a look, his tone firm and calm, "Auntie, don't worry, uncle will be alright."
Looking at Ye Tian, she nodded firmly, a feeling of inexplicable trust in this young man that perhaps he could indeed do it.
Ye Tian looked down at Liu Yun and instantly waved his hand, causing a glint of silver to flash; the next moment a silver needle appeared on Liu Yun's body.
The next instant, Ye Tian's body moved abruptly forward, appearing to follow special steps, which looked odd but also not odd.
Whoosh!
Halted in his steps, Ye Tian flung another silver needle. Then relentlessly continuing his specialized steps, he began circling Liu Yun, methodically launching a silver needle into Liu Yun's body with each pass.
Watching Ye Tian's continuous circling and unfolding silver needles, Miao Dong scoffed disdainfully, "Traditional Chinese medicine? Silver needles? What idiocy! Traditional Chinese medicine is an outdated relic, discarded! Psh, such pretentiousness!"
But next to Miao Dong, Professor Sun seemed to have realized something; his eyes widened, his face increasingly shocked, shocked...
In short order, Ye Tian's head was steaming white, beads of sweat covered his face, but the palms he swung remained resolute and strong, his steps growing ever faster!
"Are you tired from your shaman dance? Next time you pretend, remember to exercise more..." Miao Dong sneered, but before he could finish, suddenly Professor Sun raised his hand and slapped Miao Dong across the face; the sound 'smack' echoed crisply, causing Miao Dong to stagger, nearly falling to the ground, utterly dumbfounded.
"Shut your mouth!" Professor Sun said with a detached gaze and an icy tone, while Miao Dong stood there stupefied, wondering what the hell was going on—if it wasn't a shaman dance, then what was this guy doing?
Then suddenly, with a pause in his footsteps and a turn, Ye Tian exhaled lightly, "Done."
"Done?" Everyone was instantly befuddled and hurriedly looked toward Liu Yun.
At that moment, Liu Yun's face, though it had some silver needles, appeared rosy and healthy, like nothing had happened, as his tightly shut eyes suddenly trembled, slowly opening.
"Dad! (Old man!)"
Liu Fei'er and her mother rushed over, sobbing with joy, overwhelmed with excitement. They could hardly believe it—Liu Yun was truly alive! Truly alive!
Miao Dong, who had collapsed to the ground, slowly got up, his face a mix of confusion as he stared at Liu Yun, who had opened his eyes, "Damn it, he's... he's alive? How is this possible!"
Miao Dong couldn't believe his eyes; how could someone who had been declared dead be alive again?
And yet, it was this damn loser who cured her, it's just like a fairy tale!
At this moment, Professor Sun beside her couldn't help stepping back two steps, his face filled with shock as he murmured to himself, "It's the Nine Ghosts Seven Stars Needle Technique. It's actually the Nine Ghosts Seven Stars Needle Technique!"
Ye Tian heard Professor Sun's voice, glanced at him, and Professor Sun immediately tried to speak, but Ye Tian turned his head and didn't even give him another look.
Professor Sun felt somewhat embarrassed, but he didn't mind; he kicked Miao Dong and ordered, "Take the patient in for a full check-up and treatment."
Hearing Professor Sun's voice, Liu Fei'er didn't look at him but turned her gaze towards Ye Tian, her eyes full of trust and excitement. She had not expected Ye Tian to be so formidable, saving her father in a matter of minutes.
Ye Tian smiled and said, "Go get checked out, it'll set your minds at ease and prevent certain scumbags from claiming I'm just putting on a show."
Miao Dong was already dying of embarrassment, his head bowed and his face flushed, not daring to speak. He silently followed Professor Sun and Liu Yun inside, but it wasn't long before they all came out again.
Only this time, Liu Yun was standing on his own two feet. His complexion was rosy, his eyes bright, and he walked with a straight back—nothing at all like a man who had just been given a death sentence.
Liu Fei'er and her mother rushed forward to embrace Liu Yun, crying tears of joy. For their family of three, this was an indescribably happy event!
Taking advantage of this moment, Professor Sun approached Ye Tian, respectfully presented a business card, and said, "Mr. Ye, my name is Sun Dexing. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Ye Tian nodded, casually took the card and had a rather indifferent air about him, which made Sun Dexing turn red with embarrassment.
And Miao Dong was totally dumbfounded on the sidelines, looking at Professor Sun without knowing what to say.
His own mentor showing such respect to this person of his own age?
In the whole of Yunhai City, there wasn't a single person who could command such respect from Professor Sun, yet now he was giving Ye Tian such reverence?
What was key was that this guy was also acting so disdainfully?
Miao Dong felt like the world had changed, that everything was in chaos...
It wasn't long before Liu Fei'er and her family came over, and Liu Yun addressed Ye Tian very respectfully, "Thank you, Brother Ye…"
Ye Tian quickly stepped aside to show he wouldn't accept thanks, looking at Liu Yun with a smile, "Liu Fei'er and I are good friends, Uncle. You're being too formal—It's making me uncomfortable. I'm happy to help, you don't need to be so polite."
"Yes, Dad, you don't have to be polite with him." Liu Fei'er snorted at Ye Tian, her lips pursing slightly, but her eyes sparkled with joy and pride.
"Haha, alright then. Come on, let's go out. It's surely okay to treat you to a meal, isn't it?" Liu Yun laughed, Ye Tian nodded straight away, and together they all turned to leave.
When they reached the hospital entrance and were about to leave, suddenly a group of people came facing them, looking to enter the hospital with a pompous air, as if they owned the place.
Liu Yun was joking with Ye Tian when he suddenly saw the person in the lead, and his expression changed abruptly.
Ye Tian sensed it, looked up at the person in the lead; he was a middle-aged man, stocky and muscular, with a face that reeked of menace, clearly one who knew how to handle himself in a fight.
"Uncle Liu, what's wrong?"
"It was this person who hit me." Liu Yun's face held a touch of fear, his eyes filled with deep anger.
At that moment, the leader Niu Tai looked up at Liu Yun and immediately chuckled, "Yo, old man, you've got quite the life on you, eh? Still not dead?"
"You! You!" Liu Yun was so furious that his whole body trembled, his face turning bright red.
Niu Tai burst into laughter, then his gaze fell on Liu Fei'er standing to the side, and his eyes lit up with lust as he looked her over, "Is this your daughter? Not bad at all, what a sexy little face and bum! How about this, let me have fun with your daughter for a year, and I'll stop bothering you, how's that?"
"You, you, you're unreasonable!!" Liu Yun raised his hand angrily at Niu Tai. He had bumped into him, hit him, and almost killed him. Just that would have been enough, but now he was even using his daughter as a threat—it was the epitome of a thug and a scoundrel!
Liu Fei'er was also visibly angry, her chest heaving with emotion.
Ye Tian raised his hand to hold Liu Fei'er's, giving her a reassuring look, then turned impatiently to Niu Tai, "Get lost!"
"Oh? Where'd this pretty boy come from?" Niu Tai looked at Ye Tian disdainfully, "What? You gonna stand up for them? Hmph, do you know who I am? I'd advise you to get as far away as you can!"
Seeing this, Ye Tian didn't say anymore. He looked down and noticed a brick at his feet. He picked it up, tossed it lightly in his hand, and it landed steadily. Looking at Niu Tai, he smirked devilishly, "Today I'll teach you why bricks are so red!"
After saying that, Ye Tian made a move to advance. Niu Tai stepped back twice, then suddenly waved his hand with a big brother's air, "Brothers, go!"
Ye Tian smirked devilishly, and without any visible move, there was a series of snaps—each man rushing at him was knocked flying by a brick, which was stained red with blood, becoming even redder.
Niu Tai was completely dumbfounded, his pupils dilated with fear as he watched Ye Tian approach, "You, you, you, don't come any closer."
"Not come closer? That's fine. Why is the brick so red?" Ye Tian smirked devilishly.
"Because, because it's stained with blood." Niu Tai glanced at the brick, feeling a tremor of fear down to his privates as he spoke.
"Sorry, but that's the wrong answer."
After Ye Tian spoke, there was a smack, and a brick flew through the air, hitting Niu Tai, who screamed in agony, his head covered in blood.
"Why is the brick so red?" Ye Tian continued to ask devilishly as he looked at Niu Tai.
Niu Tai looked at Ye Tian in a daze, his feet barely keeping him upright, "I, I don't know."
"Wrong!"
Smack!
Ah!
"Why is the brick so red?"
"I also..."
"Wrong!"
Smack!
"Why is the brick so red?"
"Still wrong!"
...
After a relentless barrage of blows, Niu Tai finally passed out on the ground, and Ye Tian threw aside the brick, dusting off his hands nonchalantly.
He glanced over at the Liu Yun family and chuckled lightly, "Let's go, the trash is cleared, no need to block the way."
Liu Yun was stunned, while Liu Fei'er appeared exasperated—since when did trash disposal involve such brutality... But inside, she felt moved and happy because, with Ye Tian around, Liu Fei'er felt like she had a sturdy pillar supporting her own piece of the sky!
On the way back, Liu Fei'er couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Brother Ye, why is the brick actually so red?"
Ye Tian shrugged helplessly, "The brick is red in the first place, aren't you being silly?"
Liu Fei'er: "..."
Soon after, Ye Tian followed Liu Fei'er's family home. They didn't plan to eat out but to stay in instead. Liu Fei'er's parents were very welcoming to Ye Tian, even going out to buy groceries themselves, asking Liu Fei'er to take good care of Ye Tian at home.
For a while, only Liu Fei'er and Ye Tian were left at home.
Looking at Ye Tian who sat casually on the couch, a playful smile on his face, Liu Fei'er's cheeks flushed. Then she rolled her eyes at Ye Tian and said softly, "Thank you for today."
"Saying thanks might be too formal, but if you really want to express it..." Ye Tian flashed a mischievous smile. "I'm not asking for much, just that I have a palm technique I'd like to practice on you, which is very beneficial for treating ailments."
"What is it?" Liu Fei'er asked curiously.
"Have you ever heard of a certain kind of palm technique that comes from the heavens?"
Liu Fei'er's beautiful brows furrowed slightly, "Tathagata Palm?"
"That's right, my Fei'er is so smart." Ye Tian gave her a devilish smile and gestured a thumbs up to Liu Fei'er.
Liu Fei'er rolled her eyes at Ye Tian, "How do you use it?"
"Watch."
Ye Tian chuckled wickedly, stretched out his hands, and from above, he reached out towards Liu Fei'er's chest and pinched.
"This is how it's used. Pretty impressive, huh."
Liu Fei'er: "..."
