"Alright, I know what you’re worried about! Nian would never harm me! Besides, I’ve always believed that true masters are often hidden among the common folk. Those famous doctors couldn’t cure me, but maybe one of these hidden masters can!"

Chu Zhengwei said, looking at the concerned faces before him. In truth, he wasn’t nearly as confident as he let on. But after so many years of torment from the pain, he was willing to take any chance he could get.

The Chu family members looked at Chu Zhengwei helplessly. They knew that once he made a decision, there was no changing it.

Of course, they had heard the saying about masters being hidden among the common folk, but they just couldn’t bring themselves to believe that someone as young as Shen Nian could be one of those masters!

Look at all the famous doctors—weren’t they all getting on in years? The slightly younger ones wouldn’t even dare to claim they had extensive experience!

"Grandpa, you’re right. True masters are hidden among the common folk! My master is an incredible expert, and I’m her star pupil. You’re in good hands!"

"..."

Hearing Shen Nian’s words only made the Chu family members more uneasy. ’Would a true hidden master really boast about being an incredible expert?’ they thought. ’Don’t tell us Shen Nian has been scammed, has she?’

"Grandpa, Xiao Nian is right. I’ve witnessed her medical skills firsthand."

"Lu Cheng..."

The Chu family was surprised that even Lu Cheng would say such a thing. It was one thing for Shen Nian to be fooled by a quack, given her age, but surely Lu Cheng wouldn’t be so easily deceived!

’Does that mean Shen Nian really does have an incredible master?’

"In that case, can we ask Xiao Nian’s master to come here?"

Chu Deming asked. ’The master has to be more skilled than the apprentice,’ he reasoned. ’If her master were to come, they would surely feel more at ease!’

"That’s not possible. My master’s whereabouts are a mystery. If he doesn’t choose to appear, even I, his apprentice, can’t find him."

"Alright, alright, Nian, you can start!"

No sooner had Chu Zhengwei spoken than another wave of pain shot through his leg, causing his face to turn even more ghastly.

"Grandpa!"

Seeing the agony on Chu Zhengwei’s face, Chu Yunze cast aside his doubts about Shen Nian. If she could just ease his grandfather’s suffering, even a little, he would be eternally grateful.

"Sister-in-law, please, give it a try! Anything to stop Grandpa from being in so much pain!"

"Okay."

Shen Nian nodded and took out a set of silver needles from the bag she carried (though in reality, she retrieved them from her interdimensional space).

The Chu family members were stunned to see that Shen Nian was casually carrying acupuncture needles. However, before they could dwell on their surprise, she had already drawn a needle and inserted it into Chu Zhengwei’s leg.

"Ah!"

Gao Ruolan let out a small cry, but immediately realized she might be disturbing Shen Nian and quickly clamped a hand over her mouth.

Shen Nian remained unfazed, continuing to place the needles steadily. In no time, more than a dozen needles were embedded in Chu Zhengwei’s legs.

It wasn’t that Shen Nian didn’t want a quiet environment, but given the agony Chu Zhengwei was in, it wasn’t wise to move him. So, she had no choice but to begin the treatment right there.

’Thankfully, Chu Lingxiu wasn’t home right now,’ Shen Nian thought. ’Otherwise, given how much Chu Lingxiu dislikes me, I can only imagine how she would try to interfere.’

"Grandpa, how are you feeling?"

At Shen Nian’s question, the others finally tore their gazes away from the needles and looked at Chu Zhengwei’s face.

What they saw left them stunned. Chu Zhengwei’s previously ghastly complexion had regained its healthy color, and the look of agony on his face had vanished completely.
