166: Brother Lin can treat illnesses? Come on, let me take a look too.

After Lin Pei took his seat, besides acquaintances like Zhang Ze and Stephen Chow who clung to him for conversation, many actors actively greeted him.

Although the actors seated in this area had high status and had been in the entertainment industry for a long time, their eagerness to learn was clearly still very strong.

Unlike the few A-list celebrities who had been indignant about Lin Pei's seating arrangement earlier—who hadn't even glanced at the promotional trailers for Lin Pei's works—these veteran actors and actresses had clearly already watched the film.

Wu Jing said, "Brother Lin, your performance in *operation red sea* was fantastic. Recently, I'm also preparing to film a movie abroad. Are you interested in learning more, Brother Lin? I'm saving the male lead role for you."

Chen Daoming said, "Lin Pei, your performance was truly excellent. You are a formidable newcomer. The future of the entertainment industry relies on outstanding young people like you."

Ge You said, "The Young Man is truly likable. His acting is so good, and he's so handsome—he's comparable to me when I was young."

Deng Chao said, "Brother Lin, could you teach me that Vajra Kick? Demonstrate it on Baoqiang; he doesn't mind being kicked."

Liang Chaowei, the Super Introvert, also proactively stood up and waved to Lin Pei. Everyone felt that this situation was truly unprecedented.

"Hello, Brother Lin, I've long admired you..."

...Shortly after Lin Pei responded to each person, the actors presented the opening song and dance performance, and the awards ceremony officially began.

The music on stage was too loud, so Zhang Ze leaned close to his ear to speak.

"Lin Pei, I heard your kicking technique can cure illnesses. Is that true?"

"Hiss, I've been suffering from insomnia lately and can't sleep. Why don't you give me a kick?"

Lin Pei looked at Zhang Ze's face twice, but the flashing lights in the venue made it hard to see clearly.

So he picked up Zhang Ze's wrist and began taking his pulse.

Zhang Ze thought he was messing around and chuckled.

"What's up? Take it easy, old man, don't tell me you've detected a pregnancy pulse for me."

Lin Pei, however, took the pulse seriously, looking quite like an Old Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctor.

"Have you been working non-stop recently?"

Zhang Ze nodded.

"Yes, rushing to meet the filming schedule."

After a moment, Lin Pei withdrew his hand.

"It's nothing serious, just fatigue."

"For this condition, there's no need for me to kick you—it hurts quite a bit. Just eat some qi-boosting foods and make sure to rest."

"I can give you an Acupuncture needle later."

Zhang Ze raised an eyebrow, skeptical.

"Wait, you actually know how?"

Lin Pei suddenly remembered something and, taking the opportunity, pulled out a small calfskin bag from his clothes.

"Oh right, it's getting late. Let's do the needling now."

He took a Silver Needle from the bag and aimed it at the Baihui Acupoint on Zhang Ze's head.

Zhang Ze's eyes widened in shock, and he nearly jumped up in fright.

"Ah!!! I don't want it!!!"

"Don't come near me..."

But he wasn't fast enough to dodge Lin Pei's hand. Even as he shouted, Lin Pei had already steadily inserted the needle into his head.

Zhang Ze originally thought he was definitely going to lose his life today, about to be needled to death by Lin Pei right there.

But a few seconds later, he opened his eyes, a look of surprise on his face.

"Huh? Lin Pei, you did needle me, right?"

"This feels so comfortable! My headache is gone."

"Quick, give me a few more needles."

Lin Pei was just about to put away the Acupuncture Kit, but hearing this, he spread it open again.

"...Alright."

After the first needle, Zhang Ze was no longer afraid.

After watching Lin Pei skillfully insert another needle into his hand, he couldn't help but give him a thumbs-up with his other hand.

"That's incredibly professional, Lin Pei. I didn't expect you to know how to do this too."

"I seriously thought you were going to murder your best friend just now."

Lin Pei smiled.

"Yes, I can tell you were quite startled."

Zhang Ze's scream just now, loud enough to slaughter a pig, almost drowned out the music on stage.

However, while the stage couldn't hear it, many actors below the stage did, and they wondered what had happened to him.

It turned out that Lin Pei was giving him Acupuncture!

While everyone was curious, Yan Ni, being immediately adjacent to Lin Pei, took advantage of her proximity and extended her hand first.

"Teacher Lin Pei, you know Traditional Chinese Medicine?"

"Could you take a look for me, Sis? My stomach has been hurting all day."

Lin Pei, with the benevolent heart of a physician, immediately placed his fingers on her wrist.

"Come."

Seeing Lin Pei frown, Yan Ni gasped.

"Oh no, what is it? Is the situation bad?"

"I don't have a tumor in my stomach, do I?"

Lin Pei raised his hand and scratched his nose.

"Cough... Teacher Yan Ni..."

"Today is the second day of your menstrual cycle. Slight pain is normal."

Yan Ni froze, blinked a few times, and smiled sheepishly.

"Oh dear, you're right! I completely forgot, imagine that."

"Hiss, no way? You could tell even that just by the pulse?"

"Teacher Lin Pei, no wonder I hear Hai Qing constantly saying you're incredible. Seeing it today, you truly are a god!"

Lin Pei waved his hand.

"You flatter me, you flatter me."

...Lin Pei was sitting in the center seat of the first row, so naturally, the live broadcast camera frequently focused on him.

Seeing him giving people Acupuncture and taking pulses at this moment, the comments in the live stream chat became even denser.

"Huh? Why is Brother Lin taking people's pulses now? Is he serious or just messing around?"

"Brother Lin's Acupuncture technique is smoother than the Old Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctor who gives me needles, and that doctor has been practicing for decades..."

"Looking at Yan Ni's reaction, it seems like he took the pulse quite accurately."

"There's truly no end to Brother Lin's talents! He's practically a god-like existence; I'm stunned!"

"Yes, as a fan, seeing Brother Lin display a new skill, my heart is calm as water and I'm used to it. Ah!!! But Doctor Lin looks so handsome when he treats patients!!!"

"Hey, Sister Calm-as-Water, please calm down a little."

"..."

At this point, the people in the seats next to Lin Pei had changed repeatedly.

They were literally queuing up to have Lin Pei take their pulse and diagnose them.

Just by taking a pulse, he could tell which day of the menstrual cycle someone was on. They had never encountered such a skilled practitioner in all their years of seeing Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors.

Lin Pei was simply a Divine Physician.

Meanwhile, Zhang Ze had moved through several seats and was almost relegated to the very last row.

It could be said that almost everyone in the venue, whether sick or healthy, was queuing up to sit in the front. The scene was quite spectacular.

Lin Pei happened to have an itch to practice, so he took a few more people's pulses.

"Teacher Liu Yifei, you have a bit of dampness in your body. Drinking some dampness-removing medicine will suffice."

"Teacher Luo Zhixiang... you have insufficient kidney qi. I recommend conserving your energy and resting more."

"Kris Wu? You're the same..."

"Teacher Huang Zitao, your liver fire is strong, making you prone to irritability. I suggest a light diet and moderate exercise, or you can take medicine to regulate it."

"..."
