All eyes turned to Su Hao.

Professor Smith frowned, looking at the young man who had appeared out of nowhere.

"Who are you?"

"I am the one who can cure Mr. Ma," Su Hao said calmly.

Professor Smith frowned even more deeply: "Young man, do you know what you're saying? Mr. Ma's heart function has failed to this extent; even God couldn't save him! What makes you think you can cure him?"

"With the needles in my hand." Su Hao took out his needle case from his bosom and unfolded it by the bedside. The silver needles gleamed coldly in the sunlight.

Professor Smith glanced at the silver needles and scoffed, "Acupuncture? These things in your traditional Chinese medicine are nothing but psychological comfort. They have absolutely no effect on organic heart disease."

Su Hao ignored him and turned to Ma Fei: "Mr. Ma, I need a quiet environment. Everyone must leave the room."

Ma Fei nodded without hesitation and turned to Ma Xinran, saying, "Xinran, take Professor Smith out."

"Dad! Are you crazy?!" Ma Xinran stamped her feet anxiously.

"He doesn't even have a medical license! How can you entrust Grandpa's life to him?"

"I believe Mr. Su," Ma Fei said firmly.

"Last time at Huichuntang, he was the one who pulled your grandfather back from the brink of death. This time, I believe in him too."

"But......"

"No buts!" Ma Fei interrupted her sharply.

"go out!"

Ma Xinran gritted her teeth and finally pulled Professor Smith out of the room.

Ma Fei then walked out, saying, "Mr. Su, we're counting on you."

The door closed, and the bedroom returned to silence.

Su Hao walked to the bedside, unbuttoned Ma Teng's shirt, revealing his withered chest.

He picked up the first silver needle, activated the True Dragon Technique, and poured a stream of pure yang energy into the needle tip before slowly inserting it into Ma Teng's chest at the Tanzhong acupoint.

The Taiyi Divine Needle can bring the dead back to life.

This acupuncture technique was a closely guarded secret passed down to him by his second master, specifically used to treat critically ill patients on the verge of death.

Using the energy of the dragon as a guide and silver needles as a medium, it stimulates the body's own vitality and potential to repair damaged organs.

As the first needle was inserted, Ma Teng's heartbeat quickened slightly.

The second acupuncture point is Juque (CV14), used to clear blockages in the heart meridian.

The third acupuncture point is Shendao (神道), which strengthens the body's foundation and nourishes the vital energy.

......

Su Hao's technique became faster and faster; the silver needles seemed to come alive in his hands, precisely piercing each acupoint.

With each needle insertion, a surge of pure yang energy flowed into Ma Teng's body, nourishing his decaying internal organs.

About fifteen minutes later, Su Hao put away the needle.

Ma Teng's originally sallow face had regained some color.

His breathing became steady and long, and his heartbeat returned to a normal rhythm.

"Meeting me is a blessing in disguise." Su Hao put away his needle case, turned and walked out of the room.

Outside the door, Ma Xinran and Professor Smith were waiting anxiously.

Upon seeing Su Hao emerge, Ma Xinran immediately rushed forward and asked, "How is my grandfather?"

"He's alright now. He'll wake up in a few minutes."

Upon hearing Su Hao's words, Professor Smith categorically denied it: "Impossible! You must be lying!"

Su Hao glanced at him and said in a flat tone, "You have AIDS."

These words were like a bomb, exploding in the corridor.

Ma Xinran abruptly turned to Professor Smith, her eyes filled with shock: "Professor Smith, what he said... is it true?"

"Bullshit! I've always kept myself clean. Do you know what the consequences are for defaming someone?" Professor Smith was furious.

Su Hao's gaze fell on his pocket, and he added casually, "The medicine in your pocket gives you away. It's an antiretroviral drug used to treat AIDS. A cardiovascular specialist doesn't need to carry that kind of medication around, does he?"

"How...how did you know?" Professor Smith was horrified.

"Traditional Chinese medicine uses the art of observing qi, which you wouldn't understand."

Su Hao stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Mr. Ma, let's see him out. I don't want to get infected with AIDS by this guy."

Ma Fei looked at Ma Xinran, who clearly disagreed.

But soon, Ma Teng's voice came from the room: "Xiao Fei, Xinran, listen to Mr. Su and see the guests out."

Upon hearing this, Ma Fei knew his father was alright and was overjoyed.

Ma Xinran pursed her lips and looked at Smith apologetically, "I'm sorry, Professor, please leave..."

Smith glared fiercely at Su Hao before leaving the Ma family mansion in a disheveled state.

Ma Xinran took a deep breath, turned around, and bowed deeply to Su Hao: "Mr. Su, I'm sorry, I was blind to your greatness and offended you just now."

Su Hao ignored her and said calmly, "Mr. Ma, I helped save your father. As a thank you for resolving the Chamber of Commerce issue for the Li Group, our grudges are settled. Please take me back."

"this......"

Ma Fei was unsure how to begin.

"Mr. Su, you saved my life. If you don't stay for a meal, it won't do me any good for my reputation!"

Ma Teng walked out of the room with a rosy complexion and vigorous spirit, looking nothing like someone who had just escaped death.

"Grandpa, are you really alright?" Ma Xinran quickly went over and looked Ma Teng up and down.

She was somewhat taken aback.

My grandfather's condition has actually returned to what it was like before he got sick!

Su Hao had only been inside treating his grandfather for a short time, yet he had already achieved this level of skill. It was simply incredible!

"Of course I'm fine. I feel completely relaxed now, and I even feel like I can jump and run."

Ma Teng had never felt so comfortable, and he invited Su Hao again, saying, "Mr. Su, would you do me the honor of having lunch with me?"

"Alright."

Su Hao couldn't persuade the old man, so he nodded slightly.

......

At the luncheon, the entire Ma family gathered together, enjoying a sumptuous meal in a lively atmosphere.

Ma Teng sat in the main seat, his face ruddy and his spirits high, frequently toasting Su Hao.

Ma Fei also kept expressing his gratitude, his attitude being extremely respectful.

Ma Xinran sat opposite Su Hao, occasionally stealing glances at him.

She was filled with curiosity about this young man.

Where did he come from?

Why do such miraculous medical skills exist?

Su Hao felt Ma Xinran's gaze and looked up at her.

This sight made him frown slightly.

"Ms. Ma, have you been experiencing frequent dizziness and fatigue lately, and have you occasionally had skin ulcers that are slow to heal?"

Ma Xinran was taken aback: "How did you know? I thought it was just because I was too tired from work."

Su Hao put down his chopsticks, his expression turning serious: "Miss Ma, your constitution is very special. If I'm not mistaken, you have the Calamity Poison Body."

"The Calamity Poison Body?" Ma Xinran frowned, clearly not quite believing it.

"Mr. Su, are you kidding me? I've always been in good health. Apart from being a little tired lately, I don't have any major problems."

Ma Fei now unconditionally trusted Su Hao's medical skills. Hearing this, he immediately asked anxiously, "Mr. Su, is there anything wrong with this constitution?"

"There's a problem."

Su Hao spoke frankly: "If you control it well, you can control all poisons and become immune to all poisons. But if you don't control it well, after the age of twenty-eight, you will experience a relapse of the poison every year. Each relapse is like a thousand ants gnawing at your heart, causing unbearable pain."

"Moreover, the frequency of poisoning will increase, and the pain will become more and more intense, until finally death from poisoning occurs."

Ma Xinran remained skeptical, but Ma Teng's expression had turned extremely unpleasant.

He was silent for a moment before saying, "Xinran, what Mr. Su said... is correct."

Ma Fei asked in surprise, "Dad, what do you mean by that?"

Ma Teng sighed, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.

"When Xinran was very young, a fairy named Luo Li helped our Ma family when they were in danger. She said at the time that Xinran's constitution was special, that she had a calamity-poison body, and that a special method was needed to resolve it. She also left a token, saying that her junior brother would come to find us in the future."

Su Hao's heart skipped a beat: "Luo Li? Is she extremely beautiful, with a cool and aloof temperament, and likes to wear white clothes?"

"How did you know, Mr. Su? Do you know that fairy Luo Li?" Ma Teng looked at him in surprise.

Su Hao took a deep breath and slowly said, "She is my second senior sister."

These words shocked everyone present.

Ma Teng was so excited he almost jumped up from his chair: "So that's how it is! No wonder Mr. Su's medical skills are so extraordinary, he's actually the junior brother of Fairy Luo Li!"

He quickly had someone bring over an exquisite wooden box. When the box was opened, inside was a pure white jade pendant, carved into the shape of a lotus flower. Its texture was warm and smooth, and it seemed to have a faint, shimmering light.

Su Hao took the jade pendant, his fingertips tracing the patterns on its surface, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside him.

This is indeed a keepsake from my second senior sister.

Ma Xinran looked at the jade pendant, then at Su Hao. Although she still had some doubts, she was beginning to waver.

She will turn 28 next month.

If what Su Hao said is true, then she will soon face her first attack of the poison.

"Mr. Su..."

Ma Xinran hesitated for a moment before asking, "You said that if I control my constitution well, I can manipulate all poisons... Do you have a way to help me?"

"Okay." Su Hao put the jade pendant away.

Ma Xinran's eyes lit up. She raised her glass and solemnly toasted Su Hao: "Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Su!"

After the luncheon, Ma Fei personally drove Su Hao home.

In the study of the Ma family mansion, Ma Teng took out a roll of yellowed silk from a hidden compartment in the bookshelf, unfolded it, and found a contract written on it in neat small regular script.

"Xinran, this is the Dragon Maiden Contract left behind by Fairy Luo Li. She said that if her junior brother comes in the future, you will become his dragon maid and serve him by his side."

Ma Xinran's eyes widened, and she almost jumped off her chair.

"Dragon Maid? Isn't that just a servant? How could I, the dignified eldest daughter of the Ma family, become someone else's servant?!"

Ma Teng sighed, his tone tinged with helplessness: "Xinran, don't get agitated. Mr. Su is no ordinary person; you've seen his abilities. Being his maid isn't an insult to you."

"No way! I'd rather die than become a servant!" Ma Xinran refused resolutely and turned to leave the study.

Ma Teng looked at his granddaughter's stubborn back and sighed helplessly.

He knew this couldn't be rushed; he could only take it one step at a time...
