66: The Divine Healer Descends the Mountain and Merges with the Seventh Senior Sister?
The Xia Family of Jiangnan.
A rolls-royce pulled up at the entrance of the courtyard.
Xia Mo jogged out to meet them.
"Little Xian, hurry! Grandpa... my grandpa is about to give out."
Ling Xian hadn't been in a hurry, planning to let the old man suffer for a few more days.
He hadn't expected him to reach his limit today.
"Don't worry, Sister Xia Mo. I'll go in and take a look first," Ling Xian reassured her in a deep voice.
"Didn't you bring the divine doctor?" Xia Mo looked left and right, but aside from Ling Wu and Ling Xian, she saw no one else.
"He's behind us. Let's go check the situation first."
Hearing this, Xia Mo could only believe him for the time being.
Under Xia Mo's anxious urging, Ling Xian walked up to Old Master Xia's bedside.
He saw the white-haired old man on the bed; his eyes were unfocused, his body haggard and skeletal—he looked exactly like a dead man.
"Eye of Detection!" When Ling Xian activated the Eye of Detection, he instantly understood everything.
Old Master Xia's advanced age and the recurrence of old hidden injuries were part of the reason.
A more important reason was the surging aura of destiny.
In other words, a Child of Destiny was approaching.
While Ling Xian was lost in thought, Xia Rong saw him and snapped, "Sister, what is the meaning of this? You know Grandpa hates Ling Xian, yet you brought him here. Are you trying to anger Grandpa to death?"
Faced with Xia Rong's accusations, Xia Mo also had a headache. If they couldn't invite the divine doctor and didn't rely on the Ling Family, were they supposed to just wait here for him to die?
Seeing Xia Mo's predicament, Ling Xian stepped in front of Xia Rong without a word.
Looking at the current Ling Xian, who was like a completely different person from before, Xia Rong felt a sense of trepidation.
"What do you want to do?"
*Slap!*
A slap sent Xia Rong into a daze!
The slap left everyone present stunned!
Seeing this, several members of the Xia Family's branch lines felt aggrieved and wanted to step forward to teach Ling Xian a lesson; even the bodyguards were quietly closing in.
"Show some respect to your sister. Otherwise, it won't just be a slap next time."
"Enough, Little Xian. Isn't hitting my daughter in the Xia household a bit too much of a slight against us?" Xia Yunfan shouted in dissatisfaction.
Faced with Xia Yunfan's displeasure, Ling Xian nodded.
"If it weren't for Sister Xia Mo, I wouldn't have cared about any of you in the first place." Ling Xian's words were both infuriating and left them feeling helpless.
The truth is often harder to hear than lies.
Even though Ling Xian had lived with the Xia Family, back when they didn't know his true identity, how many besides Xia Mo had treated him well?
Especially the Old Master, who looked at Ling Xian as if he were an enemy who would bring total destruction to the Xia Family.
"Uncle Xia, I can't take it anymore!" A brainless youth was about to charge at Ling Xian.
Xia Yunfan decisively slapped him unconscious with thunderous force.
"Someone, take him away to rest!"
Silence filled the room!
They didn't even understand why.
Only Ling Xian and a few others understood that Xia Yunfan was saving the boy's life—and the Xia Family's life.
Just then, a youth dressed in rags walked into the Xia residence.
Strangely, no one in the Xia Family seemed to react.
"Brother Su Ran, you're finally here!" Xia Rong cried out in excitement upon seeing him.
Su Ran flew to Old Master Xia's side, moving as fast as a gust of wind.
He reached out to take Old Master Xia's pulse and checked his breathing. Seeing that the old man still had a breath left, he laughed loudly, "He's still breathing; he can be cured."
Clearly, he had mastered one of the tricks of showing off: the fewer the words, the greater the aura.
At this moment, the countless famous doctors who had been invited began to grumble.
"Kid, what arrogant talk! You can cure him? If you can cure him, I, the Vice President of the Jiangnan Medical Association, will kowtow to you," a sixty-year-old man blurted out.
These doctors had been researching for nearly half a month and still hadn't understood the cause.
Without a cause, how could they know how to proceed?
This kid was dressed in rags, as if to say a true divine doctor should look like this—wasn't that just mocking them?
Seeing this, Ling Xian smiled.
Another Child of Destiny.
He activated the Eye of Detection, and instantly, a wealth of information merged into the panel.
[Su Ran (Child of Destiny)]
[Golden Finger: Nine Gold Needles, Nine Transformations of the Heavenly Dragon...]
[Cultivation: Fifth Stage]
[Affiliated Sect: Qingxin Sect]
[Destiny Level: 1,000 points]
[Comprehensive Evaluation: A super leek with slight growth and unlimited potential!
Kind Reminder: Keep an eye on his growth and be careful of a counter-kill!]
[View the plot? Cost: 3,000 villain points!]
"View!"
In the next instant, the original script regarding Su Ran flooded into Ling Xian's mind.
Su Ran, an orphan, started out in an orphanage.
Strangely, when he was in his teens, he was placed at the gate of the Qingxin Sect by Black-clothed Men.
The Sect Master saw his terrifying talent and made an exception to take him as a disciple.
Even more interesting was that this guy had seven senior sisters.
Furthermore, he coincidentally obtained the Qingxin Sect's lost treasure, the "Nine Gold Needles."
The Qingxin Sect was just a reclusive sect in the Martial Arts World; they had ancient medical books, but they weren't very powerful.
Yet, as soon as Su Ran arrived at the Qingxin Sect, he found the Nine Gold Needles and the accompanying medical manual in a cave on the back mountain.
From then on: descending the mountain, showing off, making a name for himself, crushing opponents, and reaching the top.
Ling Xian was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected to reel in such a big fish.
This amount of destiny was probably a hundred times that of Ma Yifei.
He had cultivation, a sect, and trump cards.
This kind of Child of Destiny was challenging, but at the same time, he possessed great uncertainty.
"Where did this wild brat come from, intruding into my Xia Family?" Xia Yunfan was nearly fuming with rage.
Ling Xian was one thing, but now another ragged kid had shown up.
Was the Xia Family's security really that poor?
"Daddy, he's not a wild brat. He's a divine doctor who came down from the mountain," Xia Rong said, her eyes brimming with anxious tears.
She had finally met a powerful martial artist who could also treat her grandfather's condition.
Naturally, she didn't want the Xia Family to drive him away; otherwise, how would she ever enter the world of martial arts?
"What nonsense divine doctor? What kind of divine doctor is this young? Rong'er, you've been listening to too many stories, haven't you?" Xia Yunfan had a splitting headache.
Currently, the Xia Family was facing both internal and external troubles, and his two daughters were doing nothing but causing him problems.
Ling Xian wasn't enough, and now a Su Ran had popped up.
It wasn't that he didn't believe his daughter, but Xia Rong had loved listening to the legendary stories of various people in the Martial Arts World and the rankings in the Dragon Group since she was a child.
But how could his Xia Family possibly encounter such legendary figures?
However, Xia Yunfan still had some self-awareness.
"Hehe, today I'll let you all see what a true divine doctor is!"
As Su Ran spoke, he took out the Nine Gold Needles from his robe.
The nine golden needles were neatly arranged in a high-quality wooden box.
Seeing this, the Vice President of the Jiangnan Medical Association was suddenly filled with respect.
"Impossible! You're so young, how could you have the legendary Nine Gold Needles?"
The Nine Gold Needles weren't just acupuncture needles forged from pure gold.
Besides pure gold, this set of needles was also forged from meteoric iron.
They were also engraved with nine true dragons and strange runes, symbolizing nobility.
Furthermore, they could increase the success rate of acupuncture and had effects like clearing the mind when kept nearby.
But this set of needles had been lost for ages; to think they would appear before this kid.
This caused the sixty-year-old man, who had treated countless patients, to have his mental state shattered.
"By heaven's mandate, I am the divine doctor!"
Now that the Nine Gold Needles had appeared, Xia Yunfan was also surprised and suspicious, hesitating over whether to give it a try.
