"Good! It’s a deal!"

Chi Feng spoke quickly, as if fearing that Yin Tian might change his mind.

Chi Yuxian’s face turned extremely unsightly.

He had long realized how much his son lusted for power.

At this moment, he was even willing to gamble with his grandfather’s life, hoping to sever Yin Tian’s ties with the Chi Family completely!

Originally, Chi Yuxian had planned to train his son for a few more years, lead him through several battles, and then hand over a portion of the military authority to Chi Feng, allowing him to gradually take up the Chi Family’s banner.

But now it seemed that his son was ultimately not of the commander caliber.

If he indeed handed over military control to his son, it would be a disrespect to the Chi Family, to the Border Army, and even a disrespect to the entire nation!

Yin Tian couldn’t be bothered to continue entertaining Chi Feng and turned his head to Sir Chi, "Sir Chi, I’m about to start the acupuncture. It will hurt a bit, you need to endure it."

Sir Chi nodded weakly.

He had been a soldier for most of his life, what kind of suffering hadn’t he endured?

Such pain was nothing to him!

Seeing this, Yin Tian did not waste any more words and directly placed the silver needle at the center of Sir Chi’s brow.

Sir Chi’s body shuddered.

He suddenly realized that he felt younger.

Not younger in body, but in spirit!

With the insertion of the needle, Sir Chi felt an itch at the center of his brow.

This itch was not the usual kind, but like one beneath the skin, on the surface of his bones!

Even if he could move to scratch it, it would be useless.

Yin Tian, with the needle inserted, hesitated no longer.

His arm moved so fast that afterimages appeared as he continued to place more silver needles onto Sir Chi.

Sir Chi soon felt as if the needles inside him were connected, and the itching sensation began to spread rapidly.

When Yin Tian had placed over a hundred silver needles on Sir Chi, that itchiness had spread quickly throughout his entire body!

His body involuntarily began to twist and turn, as if it would alleviate some of the itching.

"Don’t move."

Yin Tian said softly, "If the needles are displaced, all our efforts will be wasted, and even worse, it could endanger your life!"

Hearing Yin Tian’s words, Sir Chi, despite the discomfort, endured and did not move.

Chi Yuxian, meanwhile, looked at Yin Tian and inquired, "Master, how long does my father need to do this?"

"Half an hour."

Yin Tian responded.

Just now, he had channeled Yang Energy from his own body into Sir Chi’s through the silver needles.

At this moment, the Yang Energy was rapidly repairing Sir Chi’s damaged body.

"Half an hour? Hah..."

Chi Feng let out a cold laugh, "Nowadays, boasting doesn’t require a draft. My grandfather has been bedridden for who knows how long, and here you are, daring to say you can restore his body in half an hour? Who do you think you are?"

"Just a nameless doctor."

Yin Tian spoke indifferently, really not in the mood to argue with Chi Feng.

"Hmph!"

Chi Feng folded his arms and glanced at Yin Tian, already deciding to wait here for half an hour, and then see what Yin Tian had to say.

Suddenly, Chi Yuxian thought of something and looked at Yin Tian, "Master, all my father needs to do now is wait here, right?"

"That’s correct."

"Then please come with me to the study."

Chi Yuxian spoke very respectfully, "There’s something left by Sir Liang, he said if you ever came to the empire, we should give that item to you."

Yin Tian was stunned.

Something left by his master? What could it be, shrouded in mystery?

"Alright."

Yin Tian nodded, then added a caution, "Sir Chi is in a critical phase right now, no one must touch the needles, and even when the time comes, they mustn’t be removed indiscriminately."

"Good!"

Chi Yuxian nodded, then turned to Chi Feng, "I’m going to fetch something from the study with the Master. You stay here and watch; if anything goes wrong with your grandfather, I’ll break your legs!"

Chi Feng made a noise through his nose, indicating he heard his father’s words.

"Master, this way, please."

Chi Yuxian led Yin Tian out of the room and then to a study at the end of the second floor.

The study was large, furnished completely in red sandalwood that was both vintage and exorbitantly expensive.

Chi Yuxian approached a flower stand and, right in front of Yin Tian, he twisted a vase.

Sounds of gears grinding echoed, and a bookshelf slowly turned, revealing a secret door!

In the whole Chi Family, only Sir Chi and Chi Yuxian knew of this secret passage.

The fact that he used it in front of Yin Tian showed great trust in him.

"Please excuse me, Master, just wait a moment."

Chi Yuxian said, already entering through the door.

When he came back out, he was holding a box in his hands.
