Capítulo 1401: Chapter 1375: Lord Luo
The old man’s situation really was frightening, likely to die right here. So naturally, no one dared to step forward at this mont.
The laws of the Great Luo Empire are very strict, especially here in the Imperial Capital. Getting involved with a dead person could lead to punishnt. Thus, people adopted an attitude of indifference, refraining from unnecessary troubles.
Only a few young n, prompted by the beauty of a girl, said, “Young girl, don’t worry, I will help you call the hospital. There is a clinic not far from here.”
“Thank you, thank you!” The young girl expressed her gratitude repeatedly.
However, the old man’s condition worsened, convulsing even more violently, his whole body in spasms. In such circumstances, he could die at any mont.
Tangyu carefully observed the old man and imdiately realized his condition: “This is an epileptic seizure, but it seems the old man also has heart disease. Both conditions occurring simultaneously is really dangerous. If there is no tily intervention, it will be very difficult for him to survive this ordeal. The heart of a doctor is like that of a parent, and this is an opportunity for to show off.”
Tangyu pursed his lips and quickly approached the crying young woman, saying, “Don’t worry, miss, I’m a doctor. Your grandfather’s condition is called epilepsy, and he also has heart disease. Both illnesses striking together is why it’s so severe.”
“Heart disease? Epilepsy?” These terms left the crying girl perplexed as she looked at Tangyu, as there were no such concepts in this world. dical knowledge here was quite undeveloped compared to Earth.
Still, the crying girl couldn’t care about that right now. Soone was willing to save her grandfather, and that was a lifeline. She imdiately grabbed Tangyu’s arm and said, “Doctor, please save my granddad, I beg you.”
Many onlookers expressed their skepticism with boos, and so even ridiculed Tangyu. This scholarly-looking young man in his early twenties didn’t resemble a doctor at all.
People who had been watching at Tangyu’s stall also looked on with interest.
“Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, your grandfather will be fine.” Tangyu reassured her, then quickly squatted down and tapped several acupuncture points on the old man’s body. However, after just a few points, Tangyu felt dizzy, his body too exhausted. Staggering, he almost fell.
The crying girl supported Tangyu, asking with concern, “Doctor, are you okay?”
Tangyu steadied himself, shaking his head while smiling wryly inside: “Darn, this body is too weak, and I’m so hungry I have no strength. Without inner strength, my acupuncture skill can’t be effectively demonstrated. It’s impossible to use the Immortal Finger Technique. What a hassle. It seems I have to use the old thod, temporarily using silver needles to suppress the symptoms first, then find a way to thoroughly cure him.”
Tangyu took out so silver needles. Using them was just ordinary acupuncture, not reaching any profound level. Yet now, he could only resort to silver needles.
After administering a few needles, the old man gradually cald down, stopped foaming at the mouth, and closed his eyes.
Seeing this, the crying girl broke into a smile, joy spreading across her face. However, she didn’t dare disturb Tangyu at this mont.
“Huh, it’s actually effective? What kind of sorcery did this boy use?”
“Yeah, it’s amazing. Just casually pricking with needles and it worked? What kind of mysterious sorcery is this? I’ve never heard of it.”
“This kid, he’s really got sothing going on.”
Many who didn’t initially believe in Tangyu began to change their minds. Who would have thought that this scholarly-looking young man actually had impressive dical skills?
Exerting all his strength, Tangyu continued the needle treatnt for ten minutes before finishing. And then, Tangyu, utterly exhausted, collapsed directly. The girl reacted quickly, imdiately embracing Tangyu, asking with care, “Doctor, doctor, what happened? Are you okay?”
Lying in a beauty’s arms felt unexpectedly nice, especially feeling the softness against his back. Despite his hunger, Tangyu couldn’t help but enjoy it a little.
The old man on the ground opened his eyes, getting up by himself, returning to normal as if nothing had happened. The old man also gazed gratefully at Tangyu. However, seeing Tangyu in his granddaughter’s embrace, he found it a bit strange.
Many around criticized Tangyu in their hearts, thinking he was shaless. How can a grown man be held by a woman?
So also thought Tangyu was deliberately taking advantage. Such a shaless scoundrel, they considered him an absolute beast. Of course, there were many who were intensely envious.
Tangyu smiled wryly, “Sorry, I’m too hungry and have no strength left.”
“Ah? In that case, let treat you to a al.” The girl montarily stunned, then quickly offered.
Tangyu stood up with effort, smiling at the girl, while the old man said, “Young man, you saved my life just now. You’re so young, yet your dical skills are extraordinary; truly a hero at an early age. But with your ability, why are you living in such hardships?”
Tangyu smiled bitterly, “Past experiences, it’s a long story.”
“Grandpa, let’s talk about this later. Let’s go to the restaurant for a al first. Co on, the tavern is right over there,” the girl said.
The old man nodded, and Tangyu was indeed starving. No matter what, he had to fill his stomach first. Without energy, he couldn’t start his practice or treat patients, let alone earn money. So, Tangyu didn’t refuse, and the three of them went to the tavern.
After Tangyu and the two others left, the crowd that had gathered started buzzing with discussion.
“Could this be another show?”
“How could it be? That was Luo Ziyen earlier. Don’t you even recognize Luo Ziyen?”
“What, that was indeed Luo Ziyen? I didn’t recognize him. That scholar hit the jackpot, unexpectedly saving Luo Ziyen’s life. In our area, Luo Ziyen’s family is a wealthy one with a scholarly background. Even if the family declines, they still have privileges. Just having the Luo surna ans they have noble blood.”
“Yeah, as long as it’s the Luo surna, they are naturally superior in our Great Luo Empire.”
“So, does this an the scholar’s dical skills are truly that remarkable? With such skills, how co he ended up in such a poor state? Opening a clinic should bring in a fortune every day.”
“Who knows, we can’t quite grasp what’s going on in a scholar’s mind.”
In the tavern, Luo Ziyen requested a private room and ordered a table full of exquisite dishes.
Tangyu was famished, and upon seeing the enticing dishes, he gulped with hunger, feeling terribly embarrassed.
Luo Ziyen smiled gently, saying, “Young man, don’t stand on ceremony. Co, dig in.”
“Then I won’t hesitate, sir.” Tangyu picked up his chopsticks and began eating ravenously. Seeing him eat like this, Luo Ziyen’s granddaughter couldn’t help but giggle, as she had never seen soone that hungry before.
While pouring wine for Tangyu, she said, “Doctor, no need to rush, take your ti.”
After a thorough devouring, Tangyu almost single-handedly finished all the food on the table. With a full stomach, he felt significantly different. His spirits lifted, and he felt invigorated.
Patting his belly, Tangyu contentedly burped, having lost face already, he no longer cared.
Seeing the girl still teasing with a light laugh, Tangyu said, “Sorry for the embarrassnt, I haven’t eaten in days. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be out here trying to show off so dical skills to earn a al. I was originally just focused on pursuing my scholarly ambitions, not imagining I’d end up in such dire straits, quite shaful to say the least.”
Luo Ziyen nodded in understanding and said, “Ambitions are not everything; it ultimately depends on what you think. There are many paths to success. You don’t necessarily have to secure a title to lead a good life. With your dical skills, you’ll definitely make a na for yourself. If you use them well, you can benefit the people, which is a good deed in itself.”
Tangyu nodded with a smile, “Yes, I think so too. Now that I’ve figured things out, I won’t be so single-minded in the future. By the way, sir, I’m Tangyu. May I know how to address you, sir?”
The pretty girl lifted her nose slightly and said, “Tangyu, you don’t even recognize my grandfather?”
Tangyu was montarily stunned, carefully observing the old man. Although his attire revealed his distinguished background, Tangyu couldn’t recall anything from the mories of the body’s forr owner. So he shook his head.
“It seems you’re truly just a bookish scholar. We’re the Luo family. Everyone calls my grandfather Luo Ziyen. In this area, there shouldn’t be many who don’t know him. I’m Luo Ziyen, now you know, right?” the pretty girl said.
“The Luo surna, Luo Ziyen!” Only then did Tangyu recall from mory the significance of this old man, realizing it was indeed substantial. Tangyu had heard of Luo Ziyen. Moreover, in the Great Luo Empire, the Luo surna signifies sothing specific, as Tangyu knew. Only descendants of the Royal Clan can bear the Luo surna. In other words, these two were descendants of the Royal Clan.
Even after so many years of developnt, the Royal Clan of the Great Luo Empire had proliferated to an enormous number, possibly counting in billions of descendants. Many were distributed throughout the Great Luo Empire, and those who stayed in the Imperial Capital were a minority. The ones remaining in the Imperial Capital were usually significant. At the very least, they had privileges above others.
“I truly didn’t know, sir, that you were Luo Ziyen. It’s an honor to et you,” said Tangyu.
Luo Ziyen smiled and said, “eting? It’s more than that, since you saved my grandfather, you’ve truly struck fortune.”
“Hehe, indeed,” smiled Tangyu.
Luo Ziyen said, “Tangyu, you’ve saved today, and such a great favor goes beyond re thanks. How much do you need for the consultation fee? Let know. Seeing you in such a state of hardship, allow to support you sohow. Na an amount.”
Tangyu smirked, “Luo Ziyen, the feast you treated to was generous enough to cover the consultation fee. I can’t possibly take more money from you. Today was my first day opening a stall, and I had set a fee of only nine dollars and eight cents per consultation. This al surely exceeded nine hundred and eighty, so I’ve already co out ahead.”
