Urban Supernatural Medical Saint

The old principal leaned against the sofa in discomfort, groaning. His complexion was awful, and he kept breaking out in cold sweats.

"Old man..." Grandma Ke showed a look of worry.

"Old Principal." Fang Yu stood up and went over to support the old principal.

Bai Ruoling moved quickly, getting in front of Fang Yu, and pushed him aside.

Fang Yu was taken aback: "You woman... are really barbaric!"

But Bai Ruoling acted as if she hadn't heard him, steadying the old principal.

"Grandpa—"

Grandma Ke sighed, "It's his old ailment, neck pain."

"Hasn't he been to the hospital for a check-up?" asked Fang Yu.

"He has," said Grandma Ke, "The hospital says they can't pinpoint the exact problem. It's been year after year, he suffers from it annually."

The old principal endured the pain and said, "It's nothing, the pain will go away in a bit."

Grandma Ke massaged him while wiping the sweat from his face.

With this kind of emergency, there were no thoughts for anything else.

They just waited for the old principal to feel better soon.

But after about ten minutes, the old principal still had a tight expression. As time went on, his condition didn't improve; instead, it worsened.

Bai Ruoling looked anxious, almost bursting into tears.

"Let me have a look!" said Fang Yu.

"Get away!" Bai Ruoling did not trust Fang Yu and pushed him away.

"Bai Ruoling, I am a top-notch Divine Doctor of our times! You are not recognizing a great man when you see one!" Fang Yu said with righteous indignation.

"I don't believe it!"

Bai Ruoling's face was cold, holding tightly onto her grandpa.

"Hey, even if you don't believe, you'll have to believe!"

I can't indulge your low emotional intelligence just because of that.

I've been holding back for so long.

Hu—

Fang Yu made a sweeping motion with his hand, grabbing Bai Ruoling's shoulder.

He applied force.

Bai Ruoling's face changed subtly, and in desperation, she stood up and performed a 360-degree kick in the air—

Bang bang bang!

She launched three consecutive kicks in the air.

Fang Yu raised his hand to block her attacks, retreated several steps back, then stood firm and said,

"Not a bad move!"

Even Grandma Ke and the old principal watched Bai Ruoling with shock. When did their obedient granddaughter become so formidable?

"Fang Yu, don't push me!" Bai Ruoling said stubbornly.

"If it weren't for you being the old principal's granddaughter, I would have spanked you hard by now!" Fang Yu said.

"You—"

"When you came to find me, you should have known that I am a doctor. Old Principal is in a critical state right now, can you treat him?"

Bai Ruoling paused, speechless.

"Will scowling all day save your grandpa?"

"You're an adult, yet so thoughtless."

"The old principal has been worrying himself to death over you!"

"A ten-year ailment and you've been nothing but a hindrance, do you deserve your grandpa then?"

...

Fang Yu hammered her with question after question.

For some reason, this woman who seemed as tough as iron completely fell apart at that moment, and began to cry where she stood.

"..."

This was awkward.

Although he anticipated that she was a little naive, she shouldn't be this frail-hearted.

Just a few words and she was reduced to tears.

Fang Yu shook his head helplessly and, ignoring her, walked swiftly toward the old principal.

"Let me have a look."

The old principal was deathly pale, and he couldn't even open his eyes. Grandma Ke was so anxious that she was sweating profusely. Her granddaughter's cries did not draw any attention from her.

Cough cough.

Cough cough cough—

Before it had been cut off, the old principal began to cough violently again!

Fang Yu furrowed his brow and raised his hands.

A flash of golden light.

Taiyi Divine Needle!

Whoosh!

It pierced the old principal's chest with the speed of lightning that doesn't give one time to cover their ears.

Once the needle was set, the old principal stopped coughing.

Grandma Ke's face was full of amazement; not understanding what had happened, she was just about to ask when Fang Yu said, "Take him to the hospital first."

"Little Yu, aren't you a doctor? Why do we still need to go to the hospital?"

"The old principal's condition is not simple; I need to perform surgery," Fang Yu said calmly.

Traditional Chinese medicine usually does not involve surgery, but this time was different.

Even if the old principal's internal organs were completely shattered, Fang Yu was confident in curing him, using the regenerative ability of Inner Essence combined with the Taiyi Divine Needle, it could be easily managed.

But...

Fang Yu felt that there was something in the old principal's chest!

At the moment the needle penetrated, he clearly felt that the tip touched something very hard and stable. Fortunately, with robust Inner Essence and the sharp Golden Needle, he was able to stabilize the object.

Fortunately, the condition was stabilized, not that Fang Yu could not heal it, but in such an environment, to smoothly remove that object would require an unimaginable amount of Mental Power and Inner Essence.

Going to the hospital was undoubtedly the best and simplest choice.

Western surgical treatment could also remove the object inside the old principal.

Grandma Ke contacted 120 [emergency services].

Very soon, the old principal was taken to the hospital.

...

...

Outside the emergency room.

After diagnosis, the old principal's condition was stable, and he was transferred to the intensive care unit.

A doctor wearing a mask came out and said to several people discontentedly, "Are you the patient's family?"

"Yes," Bai Ruoling said.

"It's so late to bring him here! He almost lost his life," said the doctor. "We have basically understood the patient's condition. From what we see now, this is likely AS [Ankylosing Spondylitis]."

"AS?" Grandma Ke was stunned.

"Also called ankylosing spondylitis, it is a disease that's very difficult to diagnose. Some patients may not receive confirmation for ten years," the doctor sighed.

"Can it be cured?"

"From what the disease indicates, as long as it's diagnosed early and treated properly, it's generally curable. It's just too bad..." The doctor trailed off.

"Just too bad what?" Bai Ruoling's expression turned cold, urgent to know, "I just want to find out if my grandfather can be cured."

The doctor didn't speak, merely shook his head.

Seeing the doctor shake his head, Bai Ruoling was stunned for a moment, her complexion paled.

Grandma Ke's expression was even worse, almost unable to accept this reality.

"So what now? We just give up on treatment?" Grandma Ke asked.

"All we can do now is conservative treatment, and he will have to take medication to relieve pain in the future."

This meant that AS would accompany the old man for the rest of his life.

Who could accept this cruel reality?

However...

Hearing the doctor's words, Fang Yu, standing aside, couldn't help shaking his head and frowned, saying, "Alas, another bunch of mediocre doctors. I thought Western medicine could handle this! Turns out it's just a bunch of excuses; it seems I must take action myself."

Upon hearing this, the doctor's face grew angry. Just as he was about to retort, he saw an elder in a white coat slowly walking through the corridor at the other end.

"Divine Doctor Peng?"

The doctor hummed lightly, "Kid, you can call me a mediocre doctor, but now Divine Doctor Peng is here, I'll let him have a look. Let's see what you have to say then."

After speaking, the resident doctor indeed went to find that Divine Doctor Peng.

Grandma Ke said gratefully, "Thank you, doctor."

Fang Yu rolled his eyes and said, "Grandma Ke, is this Divine Doctor Peng that impressive?"

"I've heard of him, he's even been on TV. Peng Jiuxiang is the most famous traditional Chinese medicine practitioner in this hospital, with a sincere dedication to the ancestral Medical Skill."

Peng Jiuxiang?

Fang Yu cared even less. He himself was a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine. If even he couldn't cure it, then who else in this world could?

Just then, Fang Yu heard the distant voice of Peng Jiuxiang declining—

"I don't have time. Don't come to me with every illness!"

Hearing this, Fang Yu said dismissively, "Tch, I knew he was just another quack. If I had known, I wouldn't have bothered with the hospital. I'll do it myself."

Fang Yu said this quite loudly.

Especially the term 'quack,' which directly provoked Peng Jiuxiang.

Quack?

Peng Jiuxiang's face became stern, he stopped, turned around, and his gaze was piercing.
