29: Master Ruyun

Shen Bing smiled again, revealing her little tiger teeth, looking very cute.

Liu Jiangyi unconsciously reached out and ruffled Shen Bing's hair.

“Silly child, it’s not that I’m down-to-earth; it’s because I can’t speak profound words, which makes me seem down-to-earth.”

“What you just said is even more down-to-earth.” Shen Bing smiled faintly and extended her hand, saying, “Get up.”

“Thank you.”

...

Ten-odd minutes later.

The car stopped at the entrance of a detached villa by the lake.

The villa occupied at least five hundred square meters, with five floors above ground, showcasing its luxury.

Upon the Maserati’s arrival, the security guard inside immediately opened the villa gates.

The car stopped at the villa entrance, and Shen Bing immediately led Liu Jiangyi inside.

Even with two lives, this was Liu Jiangyi’s first time in such a luxurious place, and his heart was filled with shock.

Stepping into the villa, the luxurious decor, shining like a medieval palace, almost blinded Liu Jiangyi’s titanium alloy dog eyes.

On the villa’s sofa sat an elegant woman with her hair styled in a bun, wearing a lavish long dress.

The woman was in her fifties, but her features bore some resemblance to Shen Bing.

“Mom, I’m back. How is Dad?” Shen Bing jogged towards the woman.

The woman immediately turned her head upon hearing the voice. Her eyes were red and swollen, clearly having cried not long ago.

“Bing’er, you… Who is he?”

Just as the woman was about to reply, she saw Liu Jiangyi standing at the entrance.

“Oh, let me introduce you.”

Shen Bing stepped forward and pulled Liu Jiangyi over, “This is Director Liu Jiangyi, the new Head Teacher of the Medical Academy.”

“Oh, it’s Director Liu. It’s an honor to meet you.”

The woman wiped the corners of her eyes and stepped forward to introduce herself, “I’m Bing’er’s mother, Chen Hong. You can call me Sister Hong.”

“Alright, Sister Hong.” Liu Jiangyi nodded politely and shook hands with Chen Hong.

“Mom, let me tell you, Director Liu is amazing! During the entry assessment, his Alchemy skills even surpassed Feng Qingyang!”

“What? Surpassed Dean Feng?” Chen Hong exclaimed in surprise, “I didn’t expect Director Liu to be an Alchemy Great Master!”

Liu Jiangyi chuckled, “It’s nothing major, just a slight understanding.”

“Director Liu is too modest.”

“You two don’t need to be so polite to each other.” Shen Bing interrupted their pleasantries, “I brought Director Liu back this time to treat Dad’s illness.”

“Oh? Director Liu also knows medicine?” Chen Hong asked, surprised and delighted.

“A little. May I first examine Director Shen’s condition?”

“Of course! Of course, you can!” Chen Hong was overjoyed and quickly and politely led Liu Jiangyi upstairs.

Given Liu Jiangyi’s age, plus his Alchemy attainment being even superior to Feng Qingyang’s.

Therefore, Chen Hong naturally wouldn’t doubt Liu Jiangyi’s capabilities.

At the very least, she wouldn’t think Liu Jiangyi was putting on an act.

Second-floor master bedroom.

A man lay unconscious on the bed.

The man’s Face was pale, yet it couldn’t hide his extraordinary Aura. Even unconscious and silent, he exuded an air of authority without needing to be angry.

This person was none other than Shen Bing’s father, the Director of the Demon Suppression Division of City 39, Shen Wanqian!

Liu Jiangyi stepped forward and took Shen Wanqian’s arm.

A few minutes later, Liu Jiangyi said in a deep voice, “It’s a heart problem, very tricky.”

“Does Director Liu have a solution?” Chen Hong asked anxiously, “As long as Director Liu can cure Old Shen’s illness, no matter the consultation fee, our Murong Family can accept it!”

“I’m here because of Teacher Shen, so there’s no need for a consultation fee.”

“Director Shen’s situation is tricky, but not hopeless. It’s just a complicated process, but I can treat him now.”

“Really? That’s wonderful! That’s truly wonderful!” Chen Hong excitedly hugged Shen Bing.

“Bing’er, it’s a good thing you found Director Liu, otherwise Mom really wouldn’t know what to do!”

The mother and daughter embraced and wept, tears of joy.

After their emotions had calmed down a bit, Liu Jiangyi asked, “Do you have silver needles at home?”

“Yes! I’ll go get them right away!”

Chen Hong quickly ran out and soon returned with a delicate package of silver needles.

Liu Jiangyi took the silver needles, then lifted Shen Wanqian’s upper garment and pricked several major acupoints around his body.

With the final needle, a silver needle was firmly inserted into Shen Wanqian’s heart.

“Alright, step one is complete.” Liu Jiangyi put away the unused silver needles and nodded with satisfaction at his handiwork.

“Is that all? Why hasn’t my father woken up yet?” Shen Bing asked anxiously, looking puzzled.

Liu Jiangyi shook his head, “This is just the first step, it only temporarily stabilized your father’s heart.”

“Next, some herbs and Spirit Medicine are needed to fully cure your father’s illness.”

Liu Jiangyi walked towards the door and turned back to instruct, “I’m going out to buy medicine now.”

“Remember, after I leave, no one should touch these silver needles. If the silver needles are disturbed, do not regret any consequences that may arise!”

“Don’t worry, don’t worry, I will definitely guard the silver needles!” Shen Bing nodded emphatically.

Chen Hong said, “Director Liu doesn’t need to worry. It’s just us mother and daughter here, and some housekeepers and security guards. No one will touch these silver needles.”

“That’s good, I’ll be going now.” Liu Jiangyi nodded and then strode away.

Silence fell in the room.

Looking at Shen Wanqian, who was almost pricked like a hedgehog, Chen Hong sighed, “It’s a good thing Director Liu is here, otherwise your father might really not have made it through this time.”

“Director Liu is truly amazing, great at Alchemy and so skilled in medicine!” Shen Bing exclaimed in admiration, a strange light flickering in her eyes.

...

Ten minutes passed in a flash.

Suddenly!

A rapid sound of footsteps echoed in the stairwell.

The next moment.

A tall, handsome Young Master, accompanied by an old man with an otherworldly Daoist demeanor, strode in.

“Murong Jin? Why are you here?”

Seeing the newcomer, Shen Bing’s eyebrows immediately furrowed, her eyes filled with resistance.

Murong Jin was the eldest Young Master of the Murong Family and had been pursuing Shen Bing for several years.

However, Murong Jin’s private life was extremely unseemly. Although not as notorious as Qian Qiang, he wasn’t much better.

His saving grace was that he didn’t use coercive methods, but the young girls he had sweet-talked numbered at least eighty, if not a hundred.

Shen Bing had absolutely no interest in such a person.

“Bing’er, don’t misunderstand.” Murong Jin quickly explained, “I didn’t come for you this time; I came for Uncle.”

“For my father?” Shen Bing looked puzzled.

Murong Jin quickly stepped aside, revealing the old man behind him, and introduced, “This is Great Master Ru Yun, a renowned divine doctor from City 38!”

Thump!

These four words immediately shocked Shen Bing and Chen Hong.

“You are Great Master Ru Yun!?” Chen Hong’s eyes were filled with disbelief.

Even though Shen Wanqian held a high position and power.

In the eyes of Upper City people, Lower City people were merely lowly worms.

Ordinary people from City 38 naturally wouldn’t dare to disrespect Shen Wanqian, but as a famous divine doctor from City 38.

How could Great Master Ru Yun condescend to come to City 39?
