Chapter 7: Pit Grandfather

Su Cheng, thinking he knew the truth, coldly smirked as he approached Lin Yang.

"Lin Yang, your plot has been seen through by me, and you still want to live off others?"

Seeing Su Cheng, who thought he had grasped the truth, Lin Yang smiled.

"There's never a shortage of people like you who think they're clever."

Seeing Lin Yang still smiling, Su Cheng let out a cold snort.

"When you're exposed later, I hope you can still laugh!"

Su Jun gong beside him observed Lin Yang's calm expression, which didn't look feigned.

He hesitated a moment, then called Su Cheng aside.

"Cheng'er, are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"

"Dad, I've seen this guy before; Yuan Shu personally told me, so how could I be wrong?"

Hearing his son's words, Su Jun gong hesitated for a while.

"Then let's wait for Master Yang to arrive."

Half an hour later, an old man in a black robe with a shaved head entered the Su family villa.

Seeing the old man, Su Cheng excitedly walked up to him.

"Master Yang, you've come."

The old man gave a haughty nod and said to Su Cheng,

"You said on the phone it was so urgent—what exactly is the matter?"

Su Cheng immediately pointed at Lin Yang and said,

"Master Yang, that guy claims you harmed my grandfather; my grandfather can at most live another month."

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhenhua's face twitched slightly; he looked at Lin Yang and loudly questioned,

"Whose disciple are you, daring to slander me? Do you know I'm an elder of the Southwest Chinese Medicine Association?"

Su Cheng also chimed in: "Master Yang is also sworn brothers with Divine Doctor Sun!"

"Lin Yang, offending Master Yang means offending the entire Southwest Chinese Medicine Association!"

"You'd better kneel before Master Yang right now and apologize!"

Looking at the two, Lin Yang smiled and shook his head.

"Is that so? Old Sun still has you as his junior disciple."

Lin Yang's address made Su Cheng delighted; he laughed heartily.

"You dare address Divine Doctor Sun like that, brat—you're asking for death!"

Yang Zhenhua chuckled: "You young fool who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth."

"If you dare speak like that to my senior brother, I know you have no medical skill!"

Lin Yang smiled faintly: "Even if I lack medical skill, I wouldn't treat illness by draining life."

"Your few needles are essentially taking Old Su's life."

Hearing this, Yang Zhenhua's expression changed drastically, his heart shaken.

He was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, shouting in panic,

"Nonsense! I pulled Old Su family patriarch back from the brink of death!"

Seeing Yang Zhenhua furious, Lin Yang laughed.

"Then why don't you treat him again?"

"He... he's already healed, needs no treatment—where did you, a brat, get this nonsense?"

Su Cheng chimed in: "Exactly, my grandfather is already healed!"

"Su family patriarch, are you really healed?"

Lin Yang turned his gaze to Su Qingguo.

Su Qingguo hesitated, then looked at Yang Zhenhua and said,

"Master Yang, I'm now weak in all limbs, can barely stand—please help me again."

Yang Zhenhua glanced at Lin Yang and coldly snorted.

"Fine, I'll make you stand right now."

As he approached Su Qingguo and was about to take out the silver needles, Lin Yang spoke.

"First needle at Hundred Meetings, second at Celestial Pivot, third at Divine Court..."

Holding the needle, Yang Zhenhua's forehead sweat poured forth; he dared not insert the needle.

"Master Yang, what's wrong with you?"

Su Cheng stepped forward, anxiously asking.

"I... my stomach feels uncomfortable; I'm going to the toilet."

After saying that, he disregarded decorum and ran to the toilet.

The wily Su Qingguo and Su Jun gong noticed something odd; Su Jun gong asked.

"Mr. Lin, what do those few points you just mentioned mean?"

Lin Yang smiled: "Nothing—he's just about to perform a life‑draining needle technique."

"After it's done, your father will be able to stand and feel full of energy, but he'll only live two more days."

Hearing this, the three Su family members reacted differently; Su Cheng shouted.

"Impossible—Master Yang isn't that kind of person!"

"Dad, don't listen to him!"

"Shut up!"

The gloomy-faced Su Jun gong let out a loud rebuke.

Lin Yang said: "If you want to know whether it's true, just go check the toilet to see if he ran away!"

Su Qingguo immediately said: "Quickly send someone to check the toilet!"

Not long later, the gloomy-faced Su Jun gong returned.

"That old thing's legs are really nimble; even the bodyguards couldn't catch up!"

Hearing that, Su Qingguo felt a wave of lingering fear.

"If it weren't for Lin Yang speaking up just now, he would surely have died!"

Su Cheng's face changed greatly, he muttered.

"Impossible, impossible!"

Seeing the two of them in their sorry state, Su Jun gong raised his hand and delivered a slap.

"Shut up!"

Then, with a respectful expression, he looked toward Lin Yang.

"Mr. Lin, I hope you can treat my father's illness..."

Seeing Su Cheng's attitude become respectful again, Lin Yang smiled.

Su Jun gong quickly followed with an apologetic smile; before he could speak, he saw Lin Yang say expressionlessly.

"May you find your own fortune."

"Linglong, take the ginseng, let's go!"

Lu Linglong picked up the ginseng, smiling, ran to Lin Yang's side, and followed him out.

Seeing this, Su Jun gong immediately shouted.

"Mr. Lin, please wait!"

Lin Yang stopped his steps and said.

"This ginseng is the payment for saving your father's life just now; if you want me to save him, unless Su Cheng kneels and apologizes, it's absolutely impossible."

"Impossible!"

As soon as Su Cheng's words fell, Lin Yang turned and left the Su family.

"Dad, we can invite Divine Doctor Sun!"

"Could his medical skills possibly surpass those of Divine Doctor Sun?"

Lu Linglong, who had not yet left the Su family, heard Su Cheng's words and paused.

"Mr. Lin's medical skill is beyond what you can imagine."

After saying that, she also left the Su family.

After they all left the Su family, Su Jun gong hesitated for a moment.

"I'll have someone contact Divine Doctor Sun right away!"

Su Cheng breathed a sigh of relief; to have to apologize to that stray dog, how could that be possible!

After hanging up the phone, Su Jun gong obviously breathed a sigh of relief.

"Divine Doctor Sun is on his way home; we can first go to his shop."

While going from the Su family to Sun Jiacheng's pharmacy, Lin Yang, carrying the ginseng, returned to the Lu family.

Lu Yong'an saw that Lin Yang had obtained the ginseng and also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Lin, you've worked hard."

"Mr. Lin, you've really worked hard!"

Lu Linglong walked to Lu Yong'an's side and recounted what had happened.

Upon hearing it, Lu Yong'an slammed the table.

"Hmph, this old man isn't dead yet; a mere Su family dares to be so arrogant!"

Lin Yang waved his hand and said: "In my eyes they're like grasshoppers; ignoring them is fine. Why haven't I seen Old Sun?"

Lu Yong'an laughed: "He had a patient come to his shop, seemed like a notable person, so he went back first."

"That's perfect; I also need to grab some medicine for my sister, so I'll just go check his pharmacy."

"I'll see you off!"

Seeing this, Lu Yong'an also laughed and teased.

"You really want to stay with Mr. Lin, huh."

Lu Linglong's pretty face blushed slightly from the teasing; she lowered her head, too shy to look at Lin Yang.
