Chapter 21 The So-Called Expert
"Expert Lin, given my dad's condition right now, what do you think we should do for emergency treatment, before transferring him to a major hospital?" Su Tiande said respectfully.
"Hmm, based on my experience, we need to transfuse blood first to maintain basic life functions." Expert Lin nodded and then arranged for the Su family to prepare for the transfusion.
However, at this moment, Ye Ling said coldly, "No, the old man is poisoned now. If we transfuse blood, the poisoned blood could cause his heart to burst, and he'll die instantly. What kind of expert are you? Clearly, you're a quack!"
Expert Lin's expression chilled as he scoffed, "Oh, you dare call me a quack? Then tell me, which medical school did you graduate from, and what academic awards have you won?"
"I haven't been to medical school, nor have I won any awards," Ye Ling shook his head.
"Ha! Then you can't even compare to an intern, and yet you dare to lecture me, a medical professor?" Expert Lin sneered, his eyes filled with contempt.
Su Tiande and others shouted angrily, "Ye Ling, stop causing trouble and get out of here, don't delay Expert Lin from saving lives!"
Ye Ling frowned; he hadn't expected the Su family to have such a deep prejudice against him. The old master was gravely poisoned, and transfusing blood now would seal his fate, not even the Great Luo Immortal could save him then.
He walked forward a few steps with furrowed brows and said sternly to Expert Lin, "Since you claim to be an expert, you should know the nation's premier, Yan Jidao, the Divine Doctor?"
"Yan Jidao, isn't he the head physician of the provincial No.1 Hospital, an unmatched expert in internal medicine in the nation?" Expert Lin looked startled and then scoffed, "Ha, Divine Doctor Yan has long withdrawn from worldly affairs. Even high-ranking officials can't easily request his attention, what makes you think he would listen to you?"
"Hmph, as a follower of the Medicine God, he naturally obeys me," Ye Ling snorted coldly, then found a number and instructed, "Yan Jidao, arrive at the Su residence within ten minutes, I have an urgent task for you!"
"Who are you trying to fool, what status does Yan Jidao hold? Even high officials have to humbly beg for his help, and here you are, a young man in his twenties, daring to command him like that. Aren't you making up lies on the fly?" Expert Lin curled his lip and coldly laughed, as if looking at a fool.
"Oh, what if I manage to bring Yan Jidao here?" Ye Ling replied coldly.
"If you can bring him here, then I'll admit I'm a quack, kneel on the ground, and call you 'Divine Doctor'," Expert Lin replied disdainfully, casting a glance at Su Tiande and others as he sneered, "It's not that I refuse to treat him, it's your Su family's son-in-law here, he's too ignorant of his place!"
Su Tiande and the others' expressions changed, and they immediately scolded angrily, "Ye Ling, apologize to Expert Lin right now, do you want to kill the old master?"
Even Su Rou advised worriedly, "Ye Ling, you should apologize to Expert Lin. If he doesn't treat grandfather, he's sure to die!"
Ye Ling shook his head and said earnestly to the group, "Don't worry, with me here, the old master Su won't fail!"
"Ha, who do you think you are, talking as if you're some Divine Doctor?" the Su family members scoffed disapprovingly.
Just then, an elderly man in a white lab coat with a sharp gaze walked in, went straight to the bedside, glanced at Old Master Su, and shook his head, "Gu poison, and it's the most deadly Heart-Eating Gu; this man is beyond help!"
The Su family members were stunned, and Expert Lin immediately bent forward, licking his lip as he said, "Divine Doctor Yan, what brings you here?"
Yan Jidao glanced at him and scolded angrily, "According to the medical record, you diagnosed it as a stroke. Did you waste over thirty years studying medicine? You quack!"
"I..." Expert Lin's face turned pale, rebuked by Divine Doctor Yan like a student, which was a disheartening blow to his prestige, yet he dared not retaliate.
This man was Yan Jidao, the foremost Divine Doctor from Jiangnan, whose single word could determine his own future in the medical field.
Yan Jidao then immediately bowed deeply to Ye Ling and said, "Student Yan Jidao, paying respects to the teacher, my lord!"
"Uh!" Expert Lin's throat felt as if it was clogged with an egg, stunned with his mouth agape.
Yan Jidao, a distinguished top doctor and a nationwide medical expert, had actually acknowledged a young man in his twenties as his teacher?
"Divine Doctor Yan, you are mistaken. He hasn't even been to medical college, how can he be your teacher?" Expert Lin urgently said.
"What do you know? Master Ye's medical skills are unparalleled in the world. It is my honor, Yan Jidao, to be his disciple!" Yan Jidao frowned and glared at him, then immediately smiled respectfully and said, "Teacher, now that you are here, this old man's illness can be cured!"
Ye Ling nodded lightly and instructed, "Bring out the silver needles, I will apply them myself!"
"Yes, Teacher, I'll assist you!" Yan Jidao rubbed his fingers, his face filled with excitement.
After so many years, he would witness Master Ye's miraculous medical skills again!
"No, it's impossible, how can Divine Doctor Yan be his assistant? How can he be so skilled?" Expert Lin couldn't believe it, as cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
Ye Ling ignored him, took the silver needles from Yan Jidao, and with a flick of his fingers, eighteen silver needles instantly penetrated into Elder Su's body.
"Hmph, just using silver needles to detoxify, I thought he was more capable than this." Expert Lin's eyes showed disdain, and he began to relax.
"Fool, watch carefully, this is Master Ye's unique medical technique!" Yan Jidao glanced at him, then focused intently on Ye Ling performing the acupuncture.
As his fingers touched Elder Su's body, a buzzing sound was heard, and the silver needles moved through Elder Su's body like silver snakes.
Plup plup plup!
As the silver needles moved, streaks of black blood shot out from Elder Su's skin.
Within the black blood, there lay hive-like insect eggs, crawling with disgusting little bugs.
"It really was poison insects!" Expert Lin's eyes widened in shock, and he immediately felt an overwhelming shame and fell to his knees with a thud.
"Master Ye's medical skills are unparalleled. I indeed am a quack, not even realizing the patient was poisoned."
"If not for you, I would have killed Elder Su!"
As Ye Ling withdrew the needles, Elder Su's eyelids twitched, and he looked as if he was about to wake up.
The Su family members were excited, all looking at Ye Ling in shock.
"Ye Ling actually saved the old man, thank goodness we didn't listen to Su Tiande, he almost killed the old man!"
The crowd's expressions were displeased, with disapproving looks directed at Su Tiande.
"I didn't mean to do it, how could I possibly harm my own father?" Su Tiande's face turned pale, and a look of terror appeared in his eyes.
If this incident was reported to the old man, he would never be able to stay with the Su family, let alone inherit the family's fortunes.
He trembled and immediately knelt before Ye Ling, pleading, "Ye Ling, speak some justice, I really didn't mean to harm the old master!"
