Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny - Chapter 8

Xue An?

Hua Xingyu frowned. He had never heard of this name among the younger generation of physicians.

Hua Xingyu looked over to his granddaughter, Hua Tingting.

Hua Tingting was the vice president of Beijiang’s largest hospital. If there were any famous young doctors, she was bound to know them.

Hua Tingting certainly didn’t recognize Xue An. She took a good, long look at Xue An, then in a somewhat disdainful manner, she asked, “Pardon me asking this, Mr. Xue, but which medical school did you graduate from? Northern Medical? Fu Medical? Or the Yale University School of Medicine?”

All the names Hua Tingting mentioned were top medical schools around the world.

The few young men and women who had followed Hua Xingyu there were gifted students from these medical schools.

But Xue An merely gave a light smile and replied, “None of those! I’ve never attended medical school.”

“Then who is your teacher?” Hua Xingyu then asked.

In Huaxia, there were many masters with medical expertise hidden among the commoners. If Xue An was a descendent of one of these masters, then he wasn’t someone who should be taken lightly.

Xue An shook his head and said, “None! I’m not a physician!”

“Not a physician?” Hua Tingting’s expression was becoming increasingly disdainful.

“Then how could I have heard that someone was actually spreading the word that he could save Old Master Qin’s life, but only on the premise that Old Master Qin could offer the right price! Could it be that this man was lying?”

Her words obviously carried much weight. It could even be considered a direct accusation that Xue An was a liar.

However, Xue An wasn’t the least bit affected. He still sat where he was, unmoving and expressionless.

Hua Xingyu, on the other hand, said to Qin Yuan, “Old Master Qin, I can see that you have a ruddy complexion, clear pupils, and are full of vigor, not like a sick man at all. May I take a look at your hand?”

Qin Yuan was a little hesitant, while Qin Yu couldn’t help but say, “Grandfather, Physician Hua is doing this because he is concerned. Just let him have a look.”

Hua Xingyu pressed down on Qin Yuan’s arm to feel his pulse. After shutting himself in his deep thoughts for a long time, he smiled and said, “Old Master Qin, what I can tell from your pulse rate is that you can live to at least a hundred years old!”

What he said made many people laugh.

As for Xue An, it seemed that he had been forgotten.

Qin Yuan sighed again, then said, “I don’t expect to live to a hundred years old. I only hope to live until I marry Yu’er off!”

Qin Yu’s face flushed red, and she lowered her head, but at this time, a voice was heard, and at a most untimely moment, at that.

“I thought to be called a master, one had to be highly skilled in a certain area or two. It turns out that to be a master, you need nothing more than this!” Xue An interjected.

The people’s laughter ended abruptly.

Hua Xingyu’s face darkened, while Hua Tingting frowned. With some degree of impatience, she said, “Stop messing around with those tricks of yours. I’m telling you; you should be aware that I’ll send you to prison if you continue going around cheating and deceiving people in the name of a doctor.”

Hua Xingyu waved his hand to stop Hua Tingting from continuing, then he stared at Xue An and said, “You said that I was nothing more than this, so, well, may I ask what profound opinion you have?”

Xue An nodded and said, “I can tell you, but if I win, what are you going to do?”

“If you can beat me on terms of medical knowledge, then I will kneel before you and call you master!” Hua Xingyu said with a sneer.

Xue An shook his head.

“Why? Scared?”

“No. I don’t want you as my disciple. You’re too old! If it was your granddaughter, I could still consider!”

His words made Hua Tingting’s pretty face freeze, while the facial expressions of Hua Xingyu’s other disciples also turned hostile.

Xue An turned to look at Qin Yuan and said, “There aren’t any symptoms that are visible from your body, but there is one apparent symptom. Do you dream every night?”

Qin Yuan nodded.

Hua Tingting laughed condescendingly and said, “If this is a kind of illness, then almost everyone is sick.”

Xue An swept a glance at Hua Tingting, sending chills all over her body, and she couldn’t go on saying what she had intended to say in the first place.

“Do you always dream of someone? In your dream, does she tell you how many more days you’ll live?”

Qin Yuan’s face changed drastically.

Xue An’s words had struck a chord with the greatest secret that he had kept deep in his heart for over a year.

This was also why he had always been seeking medical advice and asking about medicine all the time.

It was because almost every night, he would dream of the same woman. This woman would be telling him in his dream how many days remained for him to live.

This was why at the medicinal herb market, when Xue An had told him that he only had three days left of his life, Qin Yuan had gotten so worked up—the woman clad in red in his dreams had told him very clearly that he would die in three days.

Upon seeing the drastic change in Qin Yuan’s expression, Hua Xingyu was also somewhat surprised and bewildered.

Could it have been that this young chap had really managed to make the right guess?

Hua Tingting, on the other hand, was somewhat dismissive.

“Old Master Qin, according to current medical theories, everyone has dreams. This is something as normal as breathing. You may be under too much pressure, thus leading to you always having the same dream. You don’t need to be overly worried about this. Don’t be fooled by these quacks and swindlers with ulterior motives because of this.”

Xue An lightly said, “Do you know why I can tell that you have the same dream every night? Because of that woman in red. She’s bent over your back right now.”

The moment this remark was made, not only Qin Yuan’s face changed, but even Qin Yu also felt could feel her skin breaking out in goosebumps.

At this point in time, Hua Tingting was finally able to feel somewhat relieved and said with a sneer, “After all this nonsense for a good half of a day, you’re really just a swindler full of tricks and deception! It’s still reasonable to say that you can see people dreaming, but to possibly see a woman in red, that’s pure nonsense! Old Master Qin, don’t believe him. He’s a con artist.”

As someone who had received higher medical education abroad, she didn’t even look up to local doctors, let alone the underhand tricks of a con artist.

But just then, Xue An smiled lightly.

“Shortsighted and ignorant mortals will always be shortsighted and ignorant. Today, I might as well let you all see what a true master is!” With that, Xue An suddenly waved his hand and called out, “Descend!”

Everyone who was present felt the room suddenly darkening, then they witnessed an extremely frightening scene.

They could suddenly see a woman clad in red, her hair in disarray, looming over Qin Yuan’s back.

This scene evoked a scream from the timid Hua Tingting. Hua Xingyu and the other people had all gone pale as well.

Qin Yuan dropped to his knees with a thud and begged, “Sir, please save me!”

The lady ghost in red suddenly rushed out from her sprawled position on his back and charged straight at Hua Tingting, who was scared out of her wits.

She saw that the ghost was about to reach her and was so petrified that she didn’t even dare to move.

At this point in time, Xue An said lightly, “You’re merely a spirit with a vengeance and you dare to act so rampantly before me?”

With that, Xue An suddenly clenched his right hand, and the ghost in red let out a piercing squeal of agony. Then she became a puff of black smoke that Xue An firmly held within his grasp.

Amid the black mist that was spreading, Xue An, who was standing with both hands behind his back, looked just like a god.

“Now do you all believe me?” Xue An said with indifference.

Hua Xingyu fell to his knees with a thud and said, “Sir, please have mercy.

We were so ignorant that we couldn’t see, even though we have eyes! We beseech you for forgiveness!”

Xue An said with indifference, “Crack!”

The black smoke split and cracked at the sound of his command, and then, in the midst of the burning flames, it dissipated into nothingness!

There was calm and quiet in the room again. Hua Tingting was so frightened that her face was drained of color; Qin Yu wasn’t any better.

Only Xue An was clapping, as though he had just completed the most insignificant and trivial magic trick.

“Old Master Qin, the deed is done. Please pay up!”
