Gorgeous Female Tenants

Chapter 30: Cold Yin Constitution

"Mr. Xu, can you treat the old master now?"

Liu Hongan glanced at Xu Xiangbei and said indifferently.

To be honest, Liu Hongan had a very poor impression of Xu Xiangbei. Not only was he impolite, but he also shouted and threatened at the Liu Family, clearly disregarding Liu Hongan.

If it weren’t for the sake of Zhang Fuen, he would have driven Xu Xiangbei away a long time ago.

"I can."

Xu Xiangbei lazily stretched, walked to Liu Rulong lying on the grand master’s chair, and reached out to check his pulse.

Liu Rulong raised his eyelids, stared at Xu Xiangbei for a long time, as if recalling something, and asked, "Dr. Xu, what is your father’s name?"

"Shut up."

Xu Xiangbei, concentrating on the pulse diagnosis, replied irritably, "Can’t you see I’m taking the pulse? Can you be quiet?"

Hmm?

Liu Rulong’s old face stiffened, his eyes widened.

Liu Hongan finally couldn’t stand it, strode forward, ready to lift Xu Xiangbei and throw him out.

Disrespecting others was one thing, but daring to rebuke Master Liu, truly audacious!

"Hongan."

Unexpectedly, before Liu Hongan stepped forward, Liu Rulong glanced at him and gently shook his head.

Liu Hongan gritted his teeth and sat back down angrily.

For a moment, all eyes were on Xu Xiangbei, waiting for his diagnosis.

Five minutes later, Xu Xiangbei released his hand and said lightly, "Old master, your pulse is extremely chaotic, seemingly disorganized but with mysteries within. If I’m not mistaken, your illness is a very rare genetic disease, always causing a cold feeling, fatigue, and recurring monthly seizures with body convulsions, foaming at the mouth, rapid heartbeat, and in severe cases, life might be at risk. Am I correct?"

"Hmm?"

Liu Rulong’s eyes brightened, looking at Xu Xiangbei with surprise: "That’s right, it is a genetic disease, and the symptoms are exactly as you described."

Wow!

The seven or eight Liu Family members present all were pleasantly surprised and began whispering among themselves.

"Tsk tsk, could Xu Xiangbei really be a miracle doctor? Just by taking the pulse, he accurately diagnosed the old master’s condition!"

"Humph, Xu Xiangbei was brought by Dean Zhang. Maybe Dean Zhang already informed him about the old master’s condition, and he’s merely repeating it now."

"Possibly, let’s see if he can cure the old master’s illness first."

Liu Hongan and Chen Lanfang remained very calm upon hearing Xu Xiangbei’s diagnosis, silently waiting for Xu Xiangbei’s further treatment.

"Mr. Xu, can you cure the old master’s illness?"

Zhang Xuesong couldn’t help but ask.

"Old master’s illness, I’ve seen related symptoms in an ancient book. It’s not an illness but an inherent cold constitution. To completely cure it is almost a fantasy. Furthermore, acquiring this disease carries a fifty percent risk of passing it to the next generation, and offspring have a high probability of dying young."

Xu Xiangbei shook his head.

Inherent cold constitution?

Liu Hongan’s expression changed dramatically, his breathing becoming heavy.

Xu Xiangbei was the first to diagnose Liu Rulong’s specific condition!

None of the domestically or internationally renowned doctors had ever accurately diagnosed the condition!

"Dr. Xu is right. I’ve had four sons and two daughters, but only Hong An didn’t inherit my unusual illness; the others all died before age ten. Even my granddaughter, if not for modern medical conditions and timely rescues, would have been in danger many times. Alas, this is why our Liu Family hasn’t prospered."

Liu Rulong sighed weakly, his cloudy eyes became even dimmer: "Dr. Xu, you are the first to diagnose the condition, and even you say it’s not curable, it seems there’s truly no hope."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lanfang, Liu Hongan, and others all sighed continuously.

"Heh heh, old master, I said complete cure is like a fantasy, but I didn’t say I can’t help you control the condition and extend your life."

Xu Xiangbei smiled and said, "When I took your pulse, I could sense your strong martial arts foundation, your body is very well regulated. If not for this disease, living to a hundred would be completely possible."

"Really?"

Liu Rulong’s cloudy eyes brightened instantly, his hands almost trembling with excitement: "Dr. Xu, you can control my condition? Extend my life?"

Swish swish swish.

Chen Lanfang, Liu Hongan, Zhang Fuen, and others also looked at Xu Xiangbei with joy.

For so many years, Xu Xiangbei was the first who could treat Liu Rulong’s illness!

"Old master, be serious, I, Xu Xiangbei, only fool young ladies with ample bosoms and curvy hips, but what’s the point in deceiving an old man like you?"

Xu Xiangbei rolled his eyes in irritation, seemingly very dissatisfied with Liu Rulong’s skepticism: "Not afraid to tell you, if I can learn the third and fourth needle of the miraculous Eight Needles, there’s an eighty percent chance I can completely cure your illness! For now, I can only help maintain life, reduce the frequency of episodes, and ease the symptoms."

Wow!

Chen Lanfang, Liu Hongan, Zhang Fuen, and others all stood up excitedly, looking at Xu Xiangbei with great excitement.

"My god, this Xu Xiangbei can actually cure the old master’s illness, truly a miracle doctor!"

"Wonderful! If the disease can really be cured, our Liu Family won’t decline anymore."

"Let’s hope what he says is true!"

Everyone discussed fervently, their emotions stirred.

"Old master, I will apply the needles now, and every month hereafter I’ll perform acupuncture once. Within a year, your condition will be controlled and won’t affect your lifespan."

Xu Xiangbei spoke calmly, then began to quietly channel his energy. Fingertips squeezing as if holding silver needles, he started acupuncture rhythmically on Liu Rulong’s Xuanji, Huagai, Ren Zhong, Yutang, Zhongting and other acupoints.

Everyone present held their breath, not daring to disturb Xu Xiangbei, their hearts in their throats.

"Hmm, so comfortable..."

As Xu Xiangbei used Qi to apply needle techniques in the treatment, Liu Rulong groaned comfortably, with a look of enjoyment on his face.

Finally, after about ten minutes, Xu Xiangbei withdrew, exhaling heavily.

"Alright, you can try to stand up now."

Xu Xiangbei, having consumed a lot of inner strength, looked pale and wobbly.

Stand up?

Chen Lanfang, Liu Hongan, Zhang Xuesong, and others all exchanged glances.

Since Master Liu Rulong became paralyzed during an episode more than half a year ago, his limbs have been weak, never standing up; Xu Xiangbei treated him for only ten minutes, and can let Liu Rulong stand again?
