Lu Miao’s temples throbbed. Just when she thought she had dealt with two, here came another one?
What happened to their seriousness and dignity?
Shen Muhan couldn’t bear to look either. If he can’t smile convincingly, he shouldn’t smile at all. Could his grandfather’s smile be any more fake?
He quickly stepped forward and grabbed Elder Shen’s hand, saying, “Alright, Grandfather, please don’t cause trouble. My boss is so talented that she can choose from renowned universities both domestically and internationally. She doesn’t lack options.”
As he spoke, he led everyone towards the reception room.
If this continued, he was genuinely afraid that his grandfather’s rare enthusiasm would scare away his boss.
“What’s so great about those foreign universities? Being far away from home is lonely,” Elder Shen retorted as they walked.
Lu Miao pretended she hadn’t heard anything.
One Elder Sun, one Elder Zhou, and now Elder Shen. It was already overwhelming for her. She couldn’t handle another one.
Elder Shen sat down on the sofa, taking the initiative to ask her, “Lu Miao, what do you think?”
Well, there’s no escaping it.
With a determined face, Lu Miao said, “I haven’t decided which university to attend yet. The college entrance exam is still far away, so there’s no rush.”
“Hmm, this is a big decision, and indeed, there’s no need to rush. However, Qinghua University has many excellent programs that rank among the top internationally. If you decide to study locally, Qinghua University is definitely a top choice. Make sure to let me know when the time comes,” Elder Shen insisted, pushing Shen Muhan’s hand away when he tried to signal him to stop talking.
Lu Miao nodded helplessly. “Okay.”
Finally satisfied, Elder Shen said, “I want to thank you again for saving Muhan. If it weren’t for you, he would still be lying unconscious in the hospital.”
He picked up a box from the side and handed it to Lu Miao. “This is a small token of my appreciation.”
“Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen have already given me something,” Lu Miao pushed it back.
“They are them, and I am me. Accept it,” Elder Shen insisted, stuffing the box into her hands.
He had originally planned to take this opportunity to introduce her to a few professors, but now it seemed completely unnecessary.
Elder Sun clapped his hands on the table, excitedly saying, “I knew it must be you! Hurry up and let this old man witness your extraordinary acupuncture technique that can revive the dead.”
When Shen Muhan had an accident before, Elder Shen immediately sought him and the other old fellow, Wen Yiming. Unfortunately, although they attempted acupuncture, it had no effect. Repairing nerve damage was extremely challenging.
Later, he heard in the capital that a master had used acupuncture to heal the young master of the Shen family.
The master seemed to be Shen Muhan’s classmate.
At that time, he speculated that it might be Lu Miao.
However, Elder Shen wasn’t aware of the situation in the capital at the time. It was only when he returned for his birthday and invited him that he immediately informed him.
Sure enough, it was Lu Miao!
Although Elder Zhou studied mathematics and physics, he couldn’t help but be curious about this miraculous acupuncture technique.
Lu Miao looked around and said, “There’s nothing suitable here for a demonstration. How about next time I find…
Before she could finish, Elder Shen pushed Shen Muhan forward.
“Let him be the model for the demonstration.”
Lu Miao:
“Uh, Elder Shen, I already performed the last acupuncture session on Shen
Muhan yesterday. He doesn’t need it anymore,” Lu Miao said, trying to decline.
Elder Shen waved his hand dismissively. “It’s alright. Go ahead and do it again. He’s tough, one more or one less session won’t make a difference. Consider it a blood circulation boost.”
Elder Sun and Elder Zhou eagerly waited nearby.
Shen Muhan wore a puzzled expression. “Grandfather, I’m your grandson!!”
“Don’t talk nonsense, hurry up and lie down. Xiaolu and I are here, even if something goes wrong, we can still save him,” Elder Shen said as he stood up and pressed Shen Muhan onto the sofa.
Then he turned to Lu Miao. “Lu Miao, did you bring your acupuncture tools? If not, I have a set upstairs.”
With his old age, every time Sun Huaiyu and the others came, they would give him an acupuncture treatment. So, he had all the necessary tools.
He had a servant bring down the tools from upstairs.
Lu Miao felt helpless and had no choice but to proceed with acupuncture on
Shen Muhan.
The three old men, with only Elder Sun knowledgeable in medicine, watched intently as Lu Miao inserted a few needles. They immediately noticed some unique techniques.
“Is this the Lingtui Eight Techniques?
Furrowing his brow, Elder Sun rubbed his chin. “No, it’s the Thirteen Ghost
Gates Acupuncture?”
Lu Miao, while inserting the needles, explained, “Both are correct. It’s a combination of the Lingtui Eight Techniques and the Thirteen Ghost Gates
Acupuncture.”
‘Who? Who knows the Lingtui Eight Techniques? And the Thirteen Ghost Gates Acupuncture?” Wen Yiming briskly entered the room, pushing the door open.
Both the Lingtui Eight Techniques and the Thirteen Ghost Gates Acupuncture were long-lost and exquisite skills. Mastering either of them would be enough to dominate the field of traditional Chinese medicine, and possessing both would make one virtually invincible.
He and Sun Huaiyu willing admit defeat!
Seeing Lu Miao performing the acupuncture in the midst of the crowd, he couldn’t help but excitedly clap his hands and exclaim, “Lu Miao, I knew it had to be you! The one who cured Shen Muhan must be you!”
Like Elder Sun, he received the news and rushed here specifically today.
He walked a few steps closer, glancing at Elder Zhou and giving him a reproachful look. “You, Elder Zhou, don’t understand medicine…Why are you even here?!”‘
Sun Huaiyu and Elder Zhou, the two rarely synchronized, kept their mouths shut and didn’t mention anything about Lu Miao agreeing to join their research group. They didn’t want to attract any more people vying for Lu Miao’s attention.
Elder Sun and Elder Wen carefully observed Lu Miao’s needling technique.
“Different acupoints require different needling techniques and strength,” Lu Miao explained while needling.
These two giants in the field of traditional Chinese medicine were now like elementary school students attentively listening to a teacher’s lecture, almost jotting down notes.
After completing a set of needling techniques, both of them gained a lot.
The value of these two sets of needling techniques was better understood by Sun Huaiyu and Elder Wen than anyone else.
Lu Miao’s perfect integration of the two needling techniques was nothing short of genius!
If it were someone else, whether it was due to monetary interests or other considerations, most people would hesitate to pass on their knowledge to outsiders. But Lu Miao generously explained and demonstrated the techniques without reservation.
Her generosity and qualities were unmatched by many.
Elder Sun couldn’t help but sigh, “Finally, there’s someone to carry on the tradition of traditional Chinese medicine! ”
Elder Wen nodded in agreement, then looked at Lu Miao with excitement. “Lu Miao, I sincerely invite you to join our research institute. I can personally assist you. Or how about directly becoming my disciple?”
Lu Miao:…
She quickly changed the subject. “Ahem, Elder Shen, it seems like there are many guests outside. Why don’t we go and greet them first?”
“Oh, right, Lu Miao is thoughtful,” Elder Sun and Elder Zhou echoed from behind, urging Lu Miao to leave the room.
They were afraid that if they were too slow in going out, Elder Wen would actually succeed.
Elder Wen: I feel like something is not right here.
The group left the reception room together, lively and bustling.
Shen Muhan, still covered in needles on the sofa???
Did nobody care about his feelings?
“Boss, you left me behind. I still have needles in my body,” he said, feeling neglected..
