"Kid, from what you're saying... are you claiming that you also practice Medical Arts? Can you save my dad?"

The middle-aged man, who was a Deputy Chief Justice at the court, had been thrown to the ground face-first by Wu You. Although filled with deep hatred for Ling Zhenfei, seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, he found it difficult to act shamelessly. He had no choice but to open his blustery mouth and ask Ling Zhenfei.

"Of course, I am a doctor, and moreover, I am He Lingxiu's master. Your father's condition is critical, but I can heal him!"

The situation was urgent, and Ling Zhenfei was not willing to waste time with this undeserving son. He immediately nodded and said.

"Really? Can you truly heal him?"

Hearing Ling Zhenfei's confident response, He Lingxiu and her father, as well as the onlookers, were somewhat surprised, and even the couple was shocked.

Although their visit was indeed an attempt to extort He Lingxiu under the pretext of their father's illness, it was also because they had considered the possibility of their father not surviving.

Now, hearing Ling Zhenfei's public assertion that he could cure their father's illness, they were somewhat reluctant, but driven by the nature of being children, they also wanted to give it a try.

"Fine then, kid. If you can wake my father up, we'll call off what just happened,"

With everyone watching, the middle-aged man had no choice but to put on an expression of high moral righteousness. But he soon lowered his voice and said to Ling Zhenfei in a serious tone, "If you can't save him, I will make sure you and this father and daughter pair will face the full force of the law!"

Face the full force of the law?

Hearing these solemn five words, coming from this pretentious individual, Ling Zhenfei couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation wash over him.

The law? Bah!

Could someone who lacked even the most basic integrity of a human being, yet managed to be part of the law enforcement, really talk about the law? And he thought about using the law to punish others?

Did he dare take the law so lightly? Did he actually think the courthouse was his backyard?

These questions, Ling Zhenfei temporarily suppressed in his heart without exploding.

But, just because he didn't burst out now didn't mean he wouldn't explode later...

Ling Zhenfei decided to put aside the elders' disgraceful offspring for the moment. The elder was in critical condition, and with the compassionate heart of a doctor, everything else could wait – saving a life was the top priority.

Stepping forward, Ling Zhenfei checked the unconscious elder's pulse, finding his breath extremely faint. If he didn't act soon, even exhaustin all techniques from "Immortal Herbs Farming and Medical Classic" might not be enough to snatch him back from King Yan's grasp.

"Hey, you over there. I need to operate on your father. Quickly get two people to carry your father inside, and clear out all the other bystanders from the yard!" Ling Zhenfei turned his head and yelled at the still dazed middle-aged man.

"Hmph!"

Although the middle-aged man was extremely reluctant to obey Ling Zhenfei's orders, he did not dare defy them and let out a strange grunt before following his instructions.

"You two, get out as well!"

After seeing the bystanders leave, Ling Zhenfei glanced emotionlessly at the middle-aged couple and said.

"No, we want to watch you treat our father with our own eyes. What if you try something?" The middle-aged man clearly didn't trust Ling Zhenfei, and said with a face full of distrust.

"Get out!" Ling Zhenfei angrily glared at the middle-aged man, his eyes shooting out a piercingly cold glare, like a ferocious beast ready to choose its prey.

He was now extremely disdainful of this fellow. As a son, to have done what he did, and still have the gall to stay in the high position of a deputy court president!

With such a person enforcing the law, Ling Zhenfei could hardly believe how much justice and integrity the Binyang City court could possibly have!

"You! You dare..." The moment the middle-aged man met Ling Zhenfei's icy gaze, he trembled, involuntarily taking a step back.

Despite his reluctance, he dared not offend Ling Zhenfei further, and could only leave the room with a dark face, pulling his wife along.

Only after this unfilial pair had left did Ling Zhenfei earnestly begin to treat the elderly man.

The old man had been lying there unconscious, breathing out more than he was breathing in, his breath clearly very weak. However, after Ling Zhenfei took his pulse, he determined that the old man had only fainted due to general weakness coupled with overexertion.

"Axiu, what prescription did you give the old man yesterday?" Ling Zhenfei asked He Lingxiu, after observing the elder for a while.

"Brother Afei, seeing the old gentleman's symptoms, I assumed it was due to weakness and fatigue, so I prescribed some mild and nourishing remedies to regulate his qi and blood..."

Upon being questioned by Ling Zhenfei, He Lingxiu's expression paused, and with a near crying tone, she said, "Could it be... that I really made a mistake?"

Actually, she had diagnosed and treated the elder based entirely on the medical theory and Medical Arts taught to her by Ling Zhenfei. She believed her prescribed remedy to be very conservative and appropriate. However, she hadn't expected such a significant deviation to occur.

"No! Axiu, your diagnosis was very accurate, you made no mistake!"

While He Lingxiu was filled with anxiety, Ling Zhenfei comforted her warmly and then reached out his hand to her, saying, "Give me the Silver Needle, I need to give the old man acupuncture!"

"Brother Afei, what... what exactly is the reason?"

Hearing that her diagnosis was not mistaken, He Lingxiu became even more perplexed. She quickly handed the silver needle to Ling Zhenfei and continued to frown with puzzled concern.

"Be patient and don't worry, you will know the answer soon!"

Ling Zhenfei, however, did not rush to share the answer with He Lingxiu. Instead, he focused intently, delicately twirling the needles between his thumb and forefinger, and carefully inserted them into several major acupoints on the old man one by one.

Ling Zhenfei was the reincarnated successor of The Ultimate Medicine God. His mastery of traditional Chinese medicine had reached a level where he could discern any complex diagnosis at a glance.

Just now, he had clearly seen that the elder's condition was indeed due to bodily weakness. The prescription He Lingxiu had prepared was also completely correct.

However, it was possible that while the elder was taking the medicine, he had also consumed some other food or medication that conflicted with the prescribed herbs, inadvertently turning a nourishing medicine into one that drained his energy.

After confirming this pathology, Ling Zhenfei did not hesitate to perform acupuncture on the acupoints affected by Cold Qi invasion, confident that it would have miraculous effects immediately.

Once the acupuncture was done, Ling Zhenfei began to mobilize his internal True Yuan, massaging around the areas where the needles were applied. After repeatedly massaging for a while, he indeed heard a long, turbid breath being exhaled from the old man's mouth.

Then, with a slight groan, the old man slowly opened his eyes.

"Ah! Brother Fei, he's awake! The old master is awake!"

He Lingxiu had been watching intently without blinking as Ling Zhenfei performed the seemingly miraculous acupuncture. It left her utterly astonished. Now, seeing the elder actually being revived, He Lingxiu couldn't believe her own eyes and cried out in astonishment.
