With nods from Old Professor Tang and Divine Doctor Xiao, the Ning family members all stepped out of the courtyard, leaving a space for Lin Hai.

"Sister, can Lin Hai really do it?" Ning Qingyuan still found it hard to believe.

Ning Haobai nodded earnestly and said to his sister, "You should never judge a person by their appearance."

"Yes, Master Lin's medical skill is definitely superior to mine," Divine Doctor Xiao also nodded and said.

"Alright then."

The Ning family members, hearing even Divine Doctor Xiao speak, stopped questioning.

Creak, the door suddenly opened.

Lin Hai's head popped out.

"Um... can a direct blood relative of Old Mr. Ning come in?"

Direct blood relative?

Everyone was puzzled, not understanding what was needed.

Does treating someone require such a thing?

"Uh, I forgot to add, it's best if it's a woman."

A woman?

Everyone was even more baffled.

"Divine Doctor Xiao, have you ever heard of treating someone that requires a direct blood relative, and that it must be a woman?" a relative of the Ning family asked in complete confusion.

Divine Doctor Xiao stroked his beard and shook his head, "I've never heard of it, but as far as I know, the Ghost Doctor was never accepted in the medical community because his medical skills were unconventional and often defied common logic."

"I assume Master Lin is the same, inheriting the Ghost Doctor's deceitful art."

Everyone quieted down since Divine Doctor Xiao praised him so highly; they could only wait and see what would happen.

"I'll... I'll go then."

Ning Qingyuan couldn't resist her curiosity.

She didn't understand medical skills, so she was even more curious about why Old Professor Tang and Divine Doctor Xiao held Lin Hai's skills in such high regard.

"Little Ning, remember not to cause any trouble and listen to what Master Lin says," Old Professor Tang instructed.

Ning Qingyuan nodded.

Entering the room, she saw a package of acupuncture needles in front of Lin Hai.

Rows of Golden Needles engraved with ancient patterns appeared to be of great value.

Ancient things have a certain charm, much like the black and white pieces in a game of Go, clearly defined and captivating at first sight.

"Huh? Why is it you who came in?"

Lin Hai was surprised to see Ning Qingyuan.

Shouldn't it be her sister who came in?

"What? Can't I come in?" Ning Qingyuan grumbled unhappily.

"You can, my noble teacher, but could you please extend your index finger?"

"What for?"

"For treatment."

"Treating a disease requires an index finger? Explain the principle to me, or forget it." Ning Qingyuan looked dubious.

"...I'm afraid if I explain the principle, it'll be nightfall. Your grandfather's illness gives him at most twelve hours to live. If you want me to explain, I'll do it first." Lin Hai couldn't be bothered to retort.

"Here, my index finger, for you, but don't think about taking advantage of it."

"Sh*t! How could I take advantage of an index finger? Do you think you're Kato's Golden Finger?"

Lin Hai widened his eyes, tirelessly complaining.

...

Ten minutes later, Ning Qingyuan walked out of the room, frowning.

"How was it?" The Ning family members crowded around her, curiously asking.

"It hurt a little, especially since it was the first time being touched by a man."

Ning Qingyuan's eyes sparkled with tears.

First time being touched by a man?

What's going on?!

"He said the reason he wanted a woman to come in is because women are of Yin nature, and due to supplements, grandpa's body had too much Yang energy, requiring a Yin-Yang balance," Ning Qingyuan explained.

Yin-Yang balance?

And the first time being touched by a man?

A bit painful?

What kind of situation is this?

Could it be, that Lin guy is a charlatan from worldly society?

The internet isn't short of exposes of these fake masters and fake divine doctors now.

Using the pretenses of treating illnesses and Yin-Yang balance as a pretext to... with the female victims...

"Qingyuan, what exactly did he do to you?" Beautiful Principal Ning also frowned and asked.

"Boo hoo."

"I was just so nervous and scared that it's hard to explain clearly."

"Take your time to speak!" Beautiful Principal Ning's mood instantly turned sour.

Everyone started thinking in a terrifyingly bad direction.

"Could it be he did something to you?" someone curiously asked.

"He... boo hoo, it was my first time being inserted by a man..."

At this point, Ning Qingyuan felt extremely wronged.

"What?!"

Everyone was dumbfounded, and immediately each of their face turned into one of anger.

How terrible, to use the guise of treating illnesses to exploit a young girl, utterly despicable.

"Keep going, explain clearly," Principal Ning's mood was in turmoil.

Old Professor Tang and Divine Doctor Xiao looked at each other, could the Ghost Doctor have such a treatment method... Only, isn't this too awful?

"Boo hoo, the first time being inserted- into the body, it hurt a bit, I didn't even have time to react before he was finished."

Ning Qingyuan finished speaking, feeling like an aggrieved cute little child, pouting adorably.

What!

Inserted...

Into the body?

"Boo hoo, it hurt a bit, and there was even a little bleeding." Teacher Ning stated, feeling wronged again.

"What?!"

"Damn it! I'll go in and kill him!"

"Report to the police immediately!"

Two young Ning family members gnashed their teeth in anger.

The others also looked furious.

Old Professor Tang and Divine Doctor Xiao were utterly incredulous.

Could they have misjudged? That Lin guy actually did something so heinous?

"Sister, I'll take you to the hospital to get examined."

Beautiful Principal Ning's delicate eyebrows knitted into a large "川" character, her exquisite beauty full of anger.

"Oh, right, Uncle Xiao, please help report to the police." Principal Ning also spoke to Xiao Feidao.

Xiao Feidao had a shocked expression, unable to believe what he had just heard.

"Sister, let it go, it's a small matter, no need to report to the police." Teacher Ning hurriedly grabbed her sister's arm.

"Small matter? You've already been defiled, and it's still a small matter?" Principal Ning furrowed her brows.

After thinking for a few seconds, Beautiful Principal Ning earnestly said to Teacher Ning, "Sister, I know this kind of thing would be embarrassing to be publicized, but don't worry, it won't be."

"We'll go to the hospital first, clean up, pay attention to local hygiene, or it would be bad if you catch an infection."

Beautiful Principal Ning said quickly, clearly showing her concern for her sister.

"Sister, really, let it go, I don't mind."

"How can you not care!"

Beautiful Principal Ning felt a pang of disappointment in her sister.

They say daughters won't stay, they'll eventually go with another man.

But, this quickly letting oneself be taken... uh, by that was too embarrassing.

Creak.

Just at this moment, the door opened again.

Lin Hai came out looking refreshed, as if he were feeling weightless, grinning boldly.

With his head held high, Lin Hai was rather proud as he deliberately coughed a few times and said, "Everyone, Old Mr. Ning's illness is cured, results will show within three hours."

"Bastard, I'll kill you."

"You quack, swindler, wait until you're locked away!"

"The Ning family will never rest until you're dead."

Several fiery young members of the Ning family immediately surged forward, ready to beat Lin Hai to death.

Nani?

What's going on?

Lin Hai realized that everyone was glaring at him with the same hatred as one would bear an evil class enemy of the old society.
