"Seven Star Beidou Soul Revival Needle?" Doctor Bai, what are you muttering about? That rascal has already left, he just jabbed willy-nilly, can Xinzhu really wake up?"
Su Yingxue, puzzled, glanced at Bai Chengyun, who was muttering endlessly. She hurried forward to check on Jiann Xinzhu and noticed her previously pallid complexion gradually gaining some color; she breathed a sigh of relief while muttering:
"Though that rascal is arrogantly overconfident, he seems to possess some real skills. I hope Xinzhu wakes up soon!"
While Su Yingxue was hoping silently for Jiann Xinzhu to awaken, Bai Chengyun, who had startled awake, surveyed the office without seeing Lin Tian. Seizing Su Yingxue's shoulders in his excitement, he urgently asked, "Who was that young man just now?"
"Are you referring to Lin Tian? It's said that he is just a high school student, a holiday temp hired by Xinzhu."
Su Yingxue broke free from the somewhat agitated Bai Chengyun, gave him a strange look, then, as she looked at her watch on her wrist, nervously awaited the five minutes to pass, and responded, "Yet, it's unbelievable that he also has a knack for medical skills!"
"A high school student?"
Bai Chengyun took a deep breath and with a complex expression shook his head, saying, "It's much more than just having a knack; I'm afraid he has far surpassed me in medical skills, even higher than my teacher!"
"Ah, Doctor Bai, are you exaggerating? He's just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, not even a high school graduate, how could he possess such astonishing medical skills!"
Su Yingxue's face showed slight shock, then she frowned and said, "I think that rascal most likely learned some unconventional folk method to treat Xinzhu. Although Xinzhu's condition has stabilized, we still don't know if she can wake up!"
"She will definitely wake up, once the time is reached, I'll remove the acupuncture needles, and she will naturally awaken. Her congenital heart disease will also be entirely cured!"
Bai Chengyun, staring at the seven silver needles arrayed in the pattern of the Big Dipper on Jiann Xinzhu's body, his eyes filled with obsession and zeal, said with longing:
"In ancient Huaxia, the Moo Family started with medical practices, a legacy passed down for tens of thousands of years. Unfortunately, the Moo Family declined later, and most of their unrivaled medical techniques disappeared, with only the Seven Star Beidou Soul Revival Needle, this supreme acupuncture secret technique, remaining! And about the Beidou Soul Reviving Needle's ancient medical technique, I have only heard its legends…"
"To think that today I would personally witness the legendary Seven Star Beidou Soul Revival Needle! The qualifications and high level of medical skills of that young man who has mastered this ancient medical acupuncture method are truly astonishing!"
Listening to Bai Chengyun's words, Su Yingxue felt as if she was listening to myths, still somewhat disbelieving, "Is that rascal really that incredible…"
"Do you know which school Lin Tian is a student at?"
Bai Chengyun, coming back to his senses with a serious expression, said,
"My teacher always said he had reached a bottleneck in medical skills. In Huaxia, although there are others who are at the same level as my teacher, even mutual verification can no longer lead to breakthroughs. If my teacher knew there was such a person who had inherited the Seven Star Beidou Soul Revival Needle, he would be ecstatic beyond measure!"
"I don't know, maybe Xinzhu knows his exact school!"
Su Yingxue shook her head slightly.
Bai Chengyun was slightly disappointed, but seeing that the time was nearly up, he hurriedly stepped forward, "It's time, I'll remove the silver needles!"
Soon after, the seven silver needles were removed, and Jiann Xinzhu slowly awakened.
Both Bai Chengyun and Su Yingxue's faces showed delight.
...
Unaware of the conversation in the office of the Yongjia Hotel, Lin Tian had already left.
Lin Tian had great confidence in his acupuncture skills and was certain that Jiann Xinzhu would wake up and be cured before he hastily left; otherwise, his efforts in applying the needles would have been wasted in vain.
At this moment.
He walked along an alley that appeared even colder in the deep winter, heading towards his residence.
Lin Tian's rented apartment was located in an area that was a combination of University City in the Gaoling District and the old town part. The neighborhood, rather old and big, offered cheap rent, making it an ideal place for many low-income individuals to rent houses.
The neighborhood wasn't far from Bin City Meiling High School, only a twenty-minute walk.
However, as it was close to the old town area and the unmanaged areas in the northern part of the city, it was somewhat chaotic on regular days, but as Lin Tian had been just a poor student, people tended to overlook him and did not bother him.
Now that it was winter, the days ended quickly, and by just past six o'clock, it had already turned dark.
In order to get back to his place as quickly as possible, Lin Tian chose a shortcut through this alley, where it was hard to see anyone front or back.
Moreover, with heavy clouds hanging overhead, it looked like rain was imminent. Lin Tian couldn't help but increase his pace, hurrying along.
Ah~~
Because he was moving too fast as the day darkened, and with only dim yellow streetlights in the alley, Lin Tian almost bumped into a figure at a corner.
The figure appeared to be a girl who was startled by Lin Tian.
The figure quickly stopped even, then staggered back several meters.
Then there was the sound of clattering.
However, the figure seemed to see the fair-faced Lin Tian in the light, not appearing like a bad person, and finally relaxed; then quickly crouched down to pick up something from the ground.
Lin Tian also clearly saw the shadow he had bumped into, a girl around the age of seventeen. She had long hair over her shoulders, distant mountain-like eyebrows, a small nose with cherry lips, eyes like apricot flowers on peach cheeks, and skin as white as snow, sketching out a delicate face, like an immortal from a painting, giving off an ethereal air.
