Chapter 482: Doing a Good Deed without Expecting a Return
Of all the medical skills passed on from the Golden Pill Sect to the Su Family, aside from pill refinement, the strongest one was the Seven Strings Finger Method and the Heaven And Earth Acupuncture Method. Amongst the descendants and disciples, each had their own strengths, but it was acknowledged that Su Yanhua was an expert in the Seven Strings Finger Method. He had practiced it since he was three years old and to date, had already been practicing it for fifteen years. Amongst the younger generation, even Su Yanyu and Su Yanjin who had now unfortunately sustained heavy injuries were not necessarily stronger than him in this skill. There was an even larger gap of difference between him and the other disciples. Although Ling Chuxi’s words had slapped Su Yanhua with her words, everyone else had also actually been slapped together.
“I just don’t want to see you harming your own brother, that’s all. If your medical skills are not refined yet, you should not come out to treat people because you’ll end up harming them instead. Perhaps you still have peace of mind after harming other people so it doesn’t matter so much to you. But if you harm your own brother, how will you be able to face people in the future? I am actually helping you right now, but I don’t expect any thanks from you. I never expect a return when I do a good deed,” said Ling Chuxi with a sneer. Her tone was filled with ridicule.
It was this Su Yanhua who was throwing insults and sarcastic remarks at her all day long. If it were not for him, the other disciples of the Su Family may not necessarily have such a huge amount of hostility towards her. She should also bring him down a peg or two today.
After hearing her words, Su Yanhua was filled with even more anger. She had clearly given him a slap, and then actually pretended to make it look like she was doing this for his own good.
“Ling Chuxi. Don’t think that the rest of us will yield to you just because First Grandfather thinks highly of you. If you do not give me an explanation of what you meant by today, I will not be through with you,” said Su Yanhua in a threatening aura.
“Exactly. It’s not like we don’t know Big Brother Yanhua’s practice of the Seven Strings Finger Method is good. What is your basis of saying it isn’t? Wait till First Grandfather and the rest come back. We must let them judge this matter for themselves,” voiced out the other disciples of the Su Family indignantly.
“Shut up all of you!” yelled Su Xiu’er as she focused on feeling Su Yanjin’s pulse.
The disciples of the Su Family stopped their petty arguments and looked at Su Xiu’er.
“It seems like something is not right. What finger method did you use?” asked Su Xiu’er with a frown.
The disciples of the Su Family also became tense after seeing Su Xiu’er’s solemn expression. Could it be that there was really a problem with Su Yanhua’s application of the Seven Strings Finger Method?
Before Su Yanhua could answer, Su Yanjin who was very heavily injured and in a coma suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
“Big Brother Yanjin…” The disciples of the Su Family did not think too much about their petty arguments anymore and immediately surrounded Su Yanjin’s side.
After Su Yanjin spat out the mouthful of fresh blood, his complexion turned as sickly grey as if he were a dead man and in an instant. What was more terrifying was that fresh blood kept oozing from his mouth nonstop. Su Yanhua immediately applied pressure using his fingers, but he could not stop it. He broke out in a cold sweat at that instant.
Although Su Yanhua was petty, he was not considered an evil or treacherous person. This person lying on the ground was his next of kin, his brother within the Su Family. What if he had really caused his death? How could he face the other clan members? And how could he face himself? Su Yanhua’s face paled, and even his fingers began to tremble. He regretted continuously deep in his heart. If he had known it would turn out like this earlier, he would not have strived to show off his performance just now. This turned out to be such a pitiful situation, but it was already too late to regret now. His only hope right was that First Grandfather and the rest of the elders would return earlier than intended and undo his mistakes for him.
“Big Brother Yanjin… Big Brother Yanjin!” shouted the desiples of the Su Family in fear and worry as their expressions turned into ones of shock.
“Move aside, all of you,” instructed Ling Chuxi. She also did not think that Su Yanjin’s injuries were so serious. If she had known this earlier, she would not have wasted time speaking so much nonsense with Su Yanhua.
No matter how much Su Yanhua was displeasing to her eyes, it was impossible for her to use Su Yanjin’s death to prove that she was right. To put it plainly, these disciples were just spoilt brats who had yet to see the real world and who were too full of themselves. Ling Chuxi did not hold any of them in any good regard in her eyes.
