Chapter 384: Acupuncture Treatment

After talking for a long while, Lin Xiong slowly stood up, cupped his hands, and took his leave: "Worthy Nephew Cheng, I entrust Wan'er to you from now on. My injuries have yet to fully heal, so I truly need to return as soon as possible to rest and recuperate in peace. Once the situation stabilizes, I will certainly come to take Wan'er back."

"Uncle, would you allow me to examine your injuries?" Cheng Feng's sudden offer to examine his injuries left Lin Xiong feeling a bit embarrassed for a moment. However, since they both already knew what needed to be known, there was no need to be coy anymore.

Wan'er suddenly remembered that there was one crucial thing they had yet to do upon arriving at the Cheng Mansion, as she had just been immersed in her sorrowful emotions. She immediately said happily: "That's right! Brother Feng hasn't examined Father's injuries yet! Father, quickly let Brother Feng take a look."

Lin Xiong could not help but smile bitterly. Disturbing someone's sleep in the middle of the night to entrust them with the care of his daughter was already highly inappropriate; to now ask for medical treatment? This face of his was truly gone.

However, unable to refuse the repeated requests of these two, Lin Xiong had no choice but to extend his hand with an expressionless face and say: "Come, give it a try." The slightly trembling corners of his mouth clearly indicated that the person extending his hand was not at all calm inside.

Looking at Cheng Feng's young face, Lin Xiong naturally had his own thoughts. "It is one thing to have achieved such success in the Martial Dao at such a young age, but if he also possesses extraordinary Medical Skill, what kind of world-shaking genius is this?"

Cheng Feng could see Lin Xiong's embarrassment, so he didn't say much and directly reached out to take his pulse. Cheng Feng's fingers rested lightly on Lin Xiong's wrist, and then he closed his eyes to focus. A moment later, his brows relaxed slightly, as if he had already made a plan in his mind.

He slowly opened his eyes, a confident smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, and said: "Uncle, although your injuries are heavy, fortunately, they have not damaged your foundation or vital points. I will write a prescription for you, and combined with my unique set of acupuncture techniques, it should help you recover your health sooner."

Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed across Lin Xiong's eyes, which then turned into a deep sense of gratitude. Immediately after, as if thinking of something, another flash of shock crossed his eyes. He knew well that even the most famous physician in the Prefecture City would need some time to treat the injuries he had, and he had not expected Cheng Feng to possess such superb methods.

He nodded heavily and said: "Can it really be so easy? That you, Worthy Nephew, have such ability is truly a great blessing for me, Lin. Then I will have to trouble you, Worthy Nephew."

Lin Wan'er was overjoyed and radiant as she listened from the side. She knew that Brother Feng could always bring people unexpected surprises. She hurried forward, her eyes fixed on Cheng Feng with admiration.

Seeing his daughter display such a demeanor for the first time, Lin Xiong knew in his heart that his daughter was completely smitten with Cheng Feng.

Seeing this situation, Cheng Feng also felt a surge of joy in his heart. Without the slightest hesitation,

with his heart's white moonlight right before his eyes,

Cheng Feng naturally and readily took out a set of silver needles,

which flickered with a faint light under the candlelight, revealing a sharpness and delicacy that could not be ignored.

Cheng Feng's technique was skillful and gentle, as if he were performing a sacred ritual.

After removing Lin Xiong's outer garment, his slightly lean but well-defined upper body was revealed, with several scars faintly visible on his skin, recording the glory and hardships of past battles.

Watching the scars on her father's body, Lin Wan'er

held back her exclamation and covered her mouth, fearing she would disturb Cheng Feng's treatment, though her eyes were somewhat teary.

Cheng Feng's gaze became more focused as he gently inserted the silver needles one by one into specific acupoints on Lin Xiong's body.

Every needle placement was incredibly precise, as if he were having a silent conversation with Lin Xiong's body.

Although Lin Xiong felt a bit awkward, he felt even more trust and gratitude toward Cheng Feng.

He closed his eyes, feeling the subtle changes brought by the silver needles, and felt streams of warmth flowing through his stiff and heavy body.

The muscles that had been tense due to his injuries gradually relaxed.

The Blood Qi that stabilized his internal injuries was also quietly circulating.

Wan'er watched intently from the side. She was both worried and curious, occasionally stealing a glance at Cheng Feng's focused and earnest expression, a sense of indescribable admiration and love welling up in her heart.

As the silver needles were placed one by one, Lin Xiong's breathing gradually stabilized.

The complexion on Lin Xiong's face, which had been pale due to his injuries, also gradually regained its color.

His breathing also became steady and smooth.

Cheng Feng clapped his hands lightly and nodded with satisfaction.

This first round of acupuncture treatment had already achieved preliminary results.

"Uncle Lin, how do you feel now?" Cheng Feng asked with concern.

Lin Xiong opened his eyes, a flash of surprise and gratitude in them: "It is truly miraculous, Worthy Nephew.

For these injuries of mine, if I were to go to the big medical clinics in the Prefecture City for treatment,

I fear it would take quite some time,

yet I feel much better now.

Your silver needle technique is truly remarkable."

Wan'er beamed with joy from the side. She tugged on Cheng Feng's sleeve and acted coquettishly: "Father, look, I told you Brother Feng would definitely be able to heal Father's injuries."

Cheng Feng smiled as he watched Wan'er take credit in front of her father, his gaze full of tenderness and doting.

"Alright, Uncle, rest easy for a moment. Once the effect of the silver needles is fully realized, your injuries will recover by quite a bit."

Cheng Feng said softly, his tone filled with tenderness and care.

Lin Xiong nodded with gratitude, his assessment of Cheng Feng rising several levels in his heart.

He looked at Wan'er, his eyes full of gratification: "Wan'er, that you have found such a good man, I can finally rest easy.

Remember, no matter how the situation changes in the future, you must cherish this rare bond."

Wan'er's cheeks flushed red like clouds from shyness, and she said in a low voice: "Father, what are you saying? Brother Feng... he is naturally excellent."

Cheng Feng felt a warmth in his heart as he listened from the side. He looked at Wan'er, his eyes shining with a tenderness rarely seen on ordinary days.

Just looking at Wan'er's current appearance, Cheng Feng knew that his efforts this time were already worth the price of admission,

not to mention Wan'er's admiration.

That look in her eyes...

Cheng Feng really wanted to just sink into it.

The night grew deeper.

Lin Xiong, who had originally intended to return to his mansion first, naturally abandoned that plan.

Later, Cheng Feng still needed to write a prescription for Lin Xiong to get medicine.

Lin Xiong was worried, but Cheng Feng said: "Just send someone to pass a message tomorrow.

Rest assured, not a single eye outside the gate will escape."

Looking at Cheng Feng's meaningful gaze,

how could Lin Xiong not know that Cheng Feng had already seen through his intentions?

After much persuasion, Lin Xiong finally fell into a deep sleep under Cheng Feng's arrangements.

Wan'er and Cheng Feng exchanged a smile; no further words were needed, as their hearts were already clear and understood.

That night, the Cheng Mansion was brightly lit, yet it was also permeated with an exceptionally warm atmosphere.

Meanwhile, the eyes outside the gates were being silently and stealthily cleared away by the disciples of the Hong Sect.

Not a single drop of blood splashed down.
