Chapter 32

When Cao Xinghua spoke, the eyes of those present shattered to the ground in shock. No one had expected this young man to be Cao Lao's senior disciple.

In everyone's impression, Cao Xinghua was originally a veteran in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, respected and esteemed. His senior disciple should also be an old man with a long beard. How could he possibly be a young man in his twenties?

Zhang Bai recovered his senses and asked in disbelief, "Old Cao, are you mistaken? Is this really your senior disciple?"

Cao Xinghua completely ignored him, stepped forward, and bowed to Ye Bufan, "Xinghua greets his senior disciple!"

At this moment, everyone's hearts were in turmoil. It was no wonder they were shocked; the scene before them was too bizarre.

Given Cao Lao's seniority and age, he should be the master or even the grandmaster of the person in front of him. Now, he was calling him "senior disciple," which was truly hard to accept.

However, Cao Xinghua paid no attention to the others' gazes. He had a deep admiration and respect for his senior disciple.

Ye Bufan nodded and asked, "Have you examined these people?"

"I have just examined them, Senior Disciple. They are all in a coma due to the invasion of yin sha qi. Unfortunately, my knowledge and skills are limited, and I cannot treat them. I have to trouble you, Senior Disciple."

Cao Xinghua spoke with a respectful expression and led Ye Bufan to the patients' bedside.

Ye Bufan used his divine sense to scan the three people and found that their bodies were enveloped in a grayish aura, which was indeed a typical symptom of yin sha qi invasion.

"You diagnosed it correctly. These people have indeed been affected by yin sha qi."

Liu Mingyang recovered his senses and asked, "Senior... Senior Disciple, how are my brothers' conditions? Can they be treated?"

"It's nothing serious. A few needles will do the trick."

Ye Bufan took out silver needles and began to treat the first unconscious police officer.

Xie Donglin was a bit uneasy and pulled on Cao Xinghua's sleeve, whispering, "Old Cao, is this really reliable?"

Looking at the incredibly young Ye Bufan, he thought to himself, "Is this old man too old and has been deceived?"

At his age, he probably hasn't even memorized all the herbal formulas, how could he possibly treat people?

Cao Xinghua said不满地, "What are you talking about? My senior disciple will definitely cure them. How could he not be reliable?"

Xie Donglin was about to say more, but suddenly he saw Ye Bufan's needle technique and exclaimed in a daze, "Is this... Is this the Nine Needles of Revival? Is this real? Did I see it wrong?"

Cao Xinghua said proudly, "Of course it's real. The Nine Needles of Revival is my senior disciple's specialty."

As a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, Zhang Bai naturally knew the value of the Nine Needles of Revival. His eyes were filled with envy and jealousy.

Ye Bufan was indeed using the sixth set of the Nine Needles of Revival—Exorcism.

His chaotic true qi could be either yin or yang. At this moment, it transformed into intense yang qi, and when combined with the Nine Needles of Revival, it quickly expelled the yin sha qi from the person's body.

Five minutes later, he withdrew the silver needles, and the police officer who had been in a deep coma immediately opened his eyes and sat up in bed.

He looked around and said to Liu Mingyang, "Captain, why am I here? What happened to me? Shouldn't I be at the crime scene?"

Liu Mingyang said, "Xiao Wang, you're finally awake. You suddenly fainted at the crime scene, so we brought you to the hospital."

At this point, everyone was convinced of Ye Bufan's medical skills. They had tried two hospitals, and none of the doctors could treat the condition. Yet, he had cured it with just a few needles in a few minutes.

Cao Xinghua said proudly, "What do you think? I told you, there's no disease my senior disciple can't cure."

Soon, Ye Bufan also cured the other two unconscious police officers. The three of them were in good health, as if they had never fainted.

At this moment, He Shuangshuang walked in and was surprised to see her three colleagues cured. She had only been parking the car for a moment, and they were already all treated.

Seeing everyone surrounding Ye Bufan like stars around the moon, she asked, "How is it? Will my colleagues have any aftereffects?"

"Of course not, they are completely cured," Ye Bufan said. "However, don't go to that place at night. Try to finish your work during the day."

Although he hadn't been to that secluded neighborhood, he could guess that it was a place with heavy yin qi.

These people had fainted first because their yang qi was weak. If they had stayed longer, the others would also have been affected by the yin sha qi.

Liu Mingyang now fully trusted Ye Bufan's words. He looked at the time; it was almost noon.

He said, "Doctor Ye, thank you for your help. Time is tight, so we need to leave now to finish the investigation at the crime scene."

With that, they hurriedly left the ward. He Shuangshuang didn't press Ye Bufan further and left with Liu Mingyang and the others.

After they left, Xie Donglin said earnestly to Ye Bufan, "Doctor Ye, are you interested in joining our hospital? If you are willing to be our resident doctor, we can offer you any conditions you want."

He was indeed very excited. Traditional Chinese medicine was declining, and if they could invite such a great doctor, the hospital would surely thrive.

Hearing the dean's words, Zhang Bai's heart raced. He was currently the best doctor in the hospital. If this young man joined, his position would be at risk.

Ye Bufan shook his head and said, "I appreciate Dean Xie's offer, but I am used to being free and don't want to be constrained."

He indeed wanted to promote traditional Chinese medicine but didn't want to be bound by too many restrictions, especially in a place like a hospital.

The internal politics were too complex and not suitable for him to focus on practicing traditional Chinese medicine.

Xie Donglin's face showed a hint of disappointment, but he said reluctantly, "Doctor Ye, how about this?

"I formally invite you to be the honorary dean of our traditional Chinese medicine hospital. You will only be called upon for difficult cases. We can offer you a monthly salary of 50,000 yuan. What do you think?"

Zhang Bai's eyes flashed with jealousy. As the best doctor in the hospital, he didn't even earn 50,000 yuan a month, and this young man was being offered such a待遇.

Ye Bufan thought for a moment. Given his character, he would help with difficult cases even without the salary, but the salary was a nice bonus.

He nodded and said, "Alright, I'll be the honorary dean."

"Great, Doctor Ye. I'll have someone prepare the appointment letter and send it to you in a few days," Xie Donglin said. "Doctor Ye, there's one more thing. We are about to evaluate a few interns who will be joining our hospital. Would you and Old Cao be willing to evaluate these young people?"

Cao Xinghua said, "If my senior disciple is willing, I have no problem with it."

Thinking of Ma Wenbo and Zhu Linlin he had encountered downstairs, Ye Bufan smiled and said, "Sure, I have time now."
