Chapter 332 Mr. Chen Xuan!
The entire venue fell silent, the atmosphere instantly stagnated.
"Damn, who dares to block President Qi?"
"If Mayor Huang has an accident, can you afford it?"
Everyone turned their heads and saw it was Chen Xuan, and they all shut their mouths.
However, their eyes carried a hint of displeasure. Everyone has their own specialty. Although Chen Xuan was extraordinary in martial arts, how could he compare to President Qi in medicine? President Qi was the president of the Medical Association and had been famous in Jiangzhou twenty years ago!
Relying on the miraculous "Nine Needles of Spring Return," he gained nationwide fame and became the president of the Medical Association.
Chen Xuan's meddling here was too self-righteous.
Did Chen Xuan consider himself more skilled than President Qi?
Long Ziming shouted, "Hurry up and let Mr. Chen pass."
Long Ziming admired Chen Xuan greatly; everything Chen Xuan said was the truth.
With this shout, the surrounding people nervously cleared a path for Chen Xuan. Chen Xuan stepped up to the sickbed.
"Mr. Chen, what are your insights?"
Qi Tianhe glanced at Chen Xuan and asked with a frown.
Since Nalan Ruo, the head of the Medicine King's Manor, highly recommended Chen Xuan, he still trusted Chen Xuan to a great extent; otherwise, he wouldn't have personally come to support Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan said lightly, "Mayor Huang is afflicted by a malevolent spirit, not entirely by his physical condition. Therefore, we need to break the spirit first, then treat the illness."
Qi Tianhe was stunned, then looked at Chen Xuan in disbelief.
He was suspicious. Mayor Huang was clearly ill; why was Chen Xuan talking about Feng Shui and metaphysics as if it were superstition?
Hadn't Nalan Ruo been deceived by this kid?
"Mr. Chen, there's no need!" Qi Tianhe waved his hand.
His tone became somewhat indifferent, and his attitude towards Chen Xuan grew colder.
Chen Xuan knew Qi Tianhe didn't quite trust him, but Mayor Huang couldn't die here. If President Qi administered the final needle, President Qi would surely die.
He still said, "President Qi, I know you don't believe in Feng Shui and metaphysics, but you must have noticed that after administering one needle of the Nine Needles of Spring Return, Mayor Huang's condition should have become more vibrant. Yet, his situation has become increasingly critical."
"Haven't you noticed anything amiss, President Qi?"
Chen Xuan's burning gaze fixed directly on Qi Tianhe.
"You even saw this?"
Qi Tianhe frowned and took a closer look at Chen Xuan.
The Nine Needles of Spring Return was a rare acupuncture masterpiece of the current era. He hadn't expected Chen Xuan not only knew the secrets of the Nine Needles of Spring Return but also had a clear understanding of the changes in Mayor Huang's condition.
This was not just luck.
"Are you really capable?" Qi Tianhe looked at Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan nodded solemnly.
"Mr. Chen, please!"
Qi Tianhe gritted his teeth and said.
The key reason Qi Tianhe believed Chen Xuan was the glimmer of confidence he saw in Chen Xuan's clear eyes.
Furthermore, he had selfish motives. If Mayor Huang had an accident under his care, he would have to step back from the front lines even if he didn't resign.
The Medical Association was in a state of rebuilding; if he retreated, it would take ten years for the association to recover its vitality!
"Thank you, President Qi."
Qi Tianhe smoothly made way for Chen Xuan. Chen Xuan smiled and stepped forward.
Then, Chen Xuan took out a protective jade charm.
"Mr. Chen, are you really confident?"
Alliance Leader Long stepped forward, grabbed Chen Xuan's arm, and asked, "If you're not confident, don't proceed. If Mayor Huang has a minor issue, President Qi won't be in mortal danger. But if it's you, Mr. Chen, you might face utter destruction!"
He said the last part in a low and serious tone.
He still had great confidence in Chen Xuan; after all, Chen Xuan had helped them break malevolent spirits before. However, involving Mayor Huang, he had to be more cautious.
Chen Xuan smiled, "Alliance Leader Long, don't worry."
Su Yunxi looked at Chen Xuan, appearing calm, but her heart was pounding.
"Chen Xuan, you must cure Alliance Leader Long, or you'll implicate your senior brother," Murong Meng clasped her hands together and mumbled.
At this moment, Chen Xuan had placed the protective jade charm on Mayor Huang's forehead.
Almost instantly, the malevolent energy above Mayor Huang's head, like a mouse encountering a cat, began to recede at a visible speed and finally completely dispersed.
Of course, this was from Chen Xuan's perspective; others did not have heavenly eyes and couldn't see the dark, cold malevolent energy at all.
A moment later, Mayor Huang, who had been coughing violently, suddenly quieted down as if he had taken a divine elixir from Lord Laozi. His chest rose and fell, his breathing became much smoother, and his ashen face regained some color and luster.
"This..."
President Qi was dumbfounded.
Could it really be due to the malevolent spirit?
Others also noticed the improvement in Mayor Huang's condition!
Many breathed a sigh of relief and then praised him.
"Mr. Chen is truly capable!"
"Wow, Mr. Chen is amazing! Not only is he skilled in martial arts, but he also knows Feng Shui and metaphysics."
"Not bad, not bad, you didn't embarrass your senior brother," Murong Meng said with a chuckle, patting her ample chest.
Su Yunxi, who had been nervously closing her eyes, opened them now upon hearing the discussions. Seeing Mayor Huang's condition improve, she was instantly relieved.
Her gaze couldn't help but sweep over Chen Xuan, her eyes carrying a hint of playful accusation.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen!"
Mayor Huang's secretary rushed forward and knelt before Chen Xuan with a thud, his face filled with gratitude.
Mayor Huang's secretary held a relatively high position; his kneeling before Chen Xuan now astonished many.
"Don't thank me yet; Mayor Huang's illness isn't completely cured," Chen Xuan said with a smile, helping the secretary up.
"Ah?"
Mayor Huang's secretary was stunned and quickly said, "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Chen."
"You're welcome, all visitors are guests."
Chen Xuan nodded lightly.
This remark earned him some favor from many.
Mayor Huang's illness was caused by the malevolent spirit. Now that the malevolent energy was broken, Mayor Huang's illness was not completely cured.
He instinctively reached for the silver needles he carried with him.
But at this moment, Chen Xuan realized he had forgotten to bring the needles and felt a bit awkward. He turned to President Qi and asked, "President Qi, may I borrow your silver needles?"
"Oh... here, here!"
President Qi reacted and quickly handed the silver needles to Chen Xuan.
At this moment, President Qi's face showed a hint of respect.
Chen Xuan took the needles casually and administered a needle.
President Qi was completely shocked as he watched Chen Xuan perform the treatment, staring at Chen Xuan as if he had witnessed something astonishing. He stammered, "How... how is it possible for someone to administer such a difficult needle so skillfully?"
What Chen Xuan was performing was the final needle of the Nine Needles of Spring Return.
But this same needle was executed in a manner infinitely more skillful than his own.
Then, President Qi gave a wry smile.
No wonder Nalan Ruo, that arrogant and proud fellow, held Chen Xuan in such high regard. It turned out he truly possessed extraordinary strength!
After two minutes, the acupuncture was completed.
"Mr. Chen, how is Mayor Huang now?" Mayor Huang's secretary asked anxiously.
"He should wake up soon."
As he spoke, Chen Xuan moved aside and slowly placed the removed silver needles into his acupuncture bag.
Before he finished speaking, Mayor Huang slowly opened his eyes, and the figures before him gradually became clear. He looked as if he had traveled to the King of Hell's domain, his face showing an expression of having narrowly escaped death.
"Mayor Huang, you're awake, that's wonderful, truly wonderful!" Mayor Huang's secretary cheered joyfully.
With Mayor Huang safe, he could also sit securely in his position.
Others also praised him and greatly admired Chen Xuan's medical skills, while President Qi looked at Chen Xuan with burning eyes, as if he had discovered a national treasure.
Mayor Huang suddenly grabbed Qi Tianhe's arm and said solemnly, "President Qi, thank you for saving my old life. Consider it a great favor I owe you!"
The gratitude in his eyes was boundless.
Qi Tianhe frowned and awkwardly pushed Mayor Huang's hand away, "Mayor Huang, you've misunderstood; it wasn't me who saved you."
"Ah? Then who was it?" Mayor Huang was dumbfounded.
Qi Tianhe looked at Chen Xuan and said with a smile, "Mr. Chen Xuan!"
