The temptation behind gentleness

The crowd rushed into the ward in a swarm.

On the hospital bed, Feng Tian lay quietly, his complexion flush with color, his breath long and steady, as the various data shown on the life-support machine beside him were stable and strong.

"Son, son..."

Feng Zhenghua and his wife charged to the bedside, calling out anxiously.

Feng Tian, who had been in a coma, slowly opened his eyes.

"Dad, Mom..."

"Son, you, you finally woke up, my son, you scared Mom to death."

Feng Zhenghua's wife clung tightly to Feng Tian's hand, laying on her son's body, sobbing endlessly.

After Feng Zhenghua let out a long sigh of relief, tears streamed down his face as well.

Zhang Haitao and the rest of the medical staff at the hospital looked at each other in disbelief, their eyes filled with astonishment.

Although they had witnessed Su Fan's medical skills more than once, medicine isn't a spell, after all; Su Fan's methods seemed to be bordering on resurrecting the dead.

This was no longer something that could be described by the title "Divine Doctor." Calling him a deity would not be an exaggeration.

"What is this?"

Only Tang Sanchun, who was touted as a traditional Chinese medicine expert, recognized something of the technique.

"This, this is?"

Looking at the thirty-six silver needles inserted in Feng Tian's body.

He finally remembered something.

He approached Su Fan, and with a trembling voice, he asked,

"Dare I ask Divine Doctor Su, are you performing the 'Yin Yang Thirty-Six Needles'?"

"Oh?"

Su Fan looked at Tang Sanchun with some surprise.

"You know of the Yin Yang Thirty-Six Needles?"

With these words, Su Fan indirectly acknowledged that the technique he had used was indeed the Yin Yang Thirty-Six Needles.

"Reverse yin and yang, grasp the creation of life and death."

"Indeed, it really is the Yin Yang Thirty-Six Needles."

"This technique is the exclusive secret of the renowned top Divine Doctor of Huaxia, the Pharmacist Huang."

"Eighteen years ago, with his disappearance, this technique was completely lost."

"May I ask, what is your relationship with Pharmacist Huang?"

Tang Sanchun immediately asked Su Fan with immense excitement.

Su Fan was startled.

Pharmacist Huang?

"Who is this Pharmacist Huang?"

Tang Sanchun spoke with reverent awe.

"Pharmacist Huang is our Huaxia's top Divine Doctor, whose medical skills are so miraculous they are beyond ordinary imagination. The top rich businessmen and nobility of Huaxia worship and fear him, and his greatest expertise is in the way of medicinal pills, with rumors even claiming he has the ability to concoct elixirs of immortality.

Back then, I learned just a little from following him, and that led to the accomplishments I have today. Though we are not master and disciple, he has gifted me with life-changing grace."

"Only, eighteen years ago, he disappeared without a trace for reasons unknown."

"Oh?"

Su Fan furrowed his brows slightly.

Since his childhood, he had learned various medical arts from his grandfather, and the Yin Yang Thirty-Six Needles were taught to him by his grandfather.

Why then did Tang Sanchun say that this technique was an exclusive secret of some Pharmacist Huang?

His grandfather's surname was Huang, but he was not known as Pharmacist Huang; the villagers within ten miles called him "Old Huang."

Su Fan also had once asked his grandfather why, though his grandfather was surnamed Huang, he himself was surnamed Su, as well as where his grandfather had learned his medical skills, but his grandfather had avoided such topics.

It was only on his grandfather's deathbed that he said,

After Su Fan successfully claimed the championship in the national famous doctors competition, he could dig up his grandfather's grave, and there he would find the answers he sought.

Eighteen years ago, Pharmacist Huang disappeared.

Su Fan just turned eighteen this year.

Both Pharmacist Huang and his grandfather shared the surname Huang.

Is this a coincidence?

"Sorry, I do not know any Pharmacist Huang; my medical skills come from an ancient book passed down in my family."

Although Pharmacist Huang mentioned by Tang Sanchun was very likely the same person as his grandfather, Su Fan still chose to conceal the truth.

Whether friend or foe, that was still unclear.

If his grandfather was indeed the Pharmacist Huang as described by Tang Sanchun, then he must have had a compelling reason for hiding his identity, possibly even being pursued by enemies.

If his enemies were to discover him, perhaps, it could bring disaster of fatal proportions upon him.

Therefore, Su Fan decided to deny any connection, even unwilling to reveal the slightest information about his grandfather.

"Oh, an ancient medical text?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Sanchun was slightly disappointed.

"Let it be, let it be. I received a favor from the senior in the past, it seems I have no hope of repaying it."

"Earlier, I underestimated you, my young friend, for which I was wrong. I apologize to you here."

"Please forgive me, Divine Doctor Su."

With that, Tang Sanchun bowed deeply to Su Fan.
