"No, absolutely not!"
Lu Fan's voice was cold, his gaze sharpening as he rushed into the room. Yang Shihai tried to stop him, but found Lu Fan's strength immense, far beyond his control.
Seeing Lu Fan's persistence, Yang Shiyun said, "Let him try! After all, there's still a sliver of hope, however slim!"
Yang Shihai could only watch helplessly, though he was curious. Who was Lu Fan, and why was he so agitated?
After examining the old lady's condition, Lu Fan hurried to say, "Prepare the silver needles! I need to perform acupuncture!"
"The old lady has already passed away. Even the Almighty Golden Immortal might not be able to save her!"
Yang Shihai shook his head. "Young man, the Yang family won't mistreat you for your efforts. Please give up!"
"Don't worry, if I can't cure the old lady, I won't practice medicine again!" Lu Fan's gaze was solemn, his eyes showing a sense of familiarity as he looked at the old lady.
Despite so many people having seen her, he wouldn't forget this face, still as kind as ever. He remembered that years ago, Old Madam Yang had doted on him, and it was unfortunate that she was on the verge of death before he could even see her.
"Quickly go get the needles!" Yang Shiyun commanded, "There must be no mistakes! Perhaps he truly has a way!"
A man nodded and hurried to fetch the silver needles, not daring to delay at such a moment.
At this moment, Lu Fan channeled his internal energy, continuously stimulating the old lady's nerves. This was the only way to keep her in a state of suspended animation, and after his acupuncture, her condition might be cured.
"This young gentleman should cease his futile efforts!"
Old Mr. Han entered, "This is fate, and fate cannot be defied. No one can change it!"
"Don't say another word!"
Long Yi spoke up, "He is currently treating the patient!"
Old Mr. Han frowned. He hadn't expected a woman beside Lu Fan to dare speak to him so rudely.
"Old Mr. Han, since you couldn't cure Grandma, why are you babbling here?" Yang Shiyun said, "Has the Yang family not paid you enough?"
"What are you talking about, Miss Yang!" Old Mr. Han frowned. "I was personally invited by the Han family patriarch. If you speak like this, aren't you ruining my reputation? How will I be able to establish myself in Donghai City in the future!"
"Everything I say is the truth. Why should Old Mr. Han be so angry!" Yang Shiyun smiled. "After so many days, you have taken a lot of money from the Yang family, but you haven't accomplished anything. If this gets out, it won't be good for your reputation either!"
"This is utter nonsense! If it weren't for me, the Yang family's old lady would have already passed away. How could she have held on until now!" Old Mr. Han said coldly. "Miss Yang, your words are truly hurtful!"
"I am merely speaking the truth. If I have offended you, please do not blame me, Mr. Han!" Yang Shiyun cupped her fists and then looked at Lu Fan. For some reason, she felt an inexplicable stir or sense of familiarity towards him.
"What's happening, the old lady just moved!"
Yang Shihai exclaimed, "Could this young gentleman truly have a solution!"
"This is absolutely impossible! Madam Yang has already passed away, how could there be any signs of life!" Old Mr. Han stated firmly. "I have been practicing medicine for many years, and such a thing would never happen!"
"What you deem impossible has already happened!" Yang Shiyun smiled. "Perhaps he truly has a way to make Grandmother wake up!"
"You're mistaken. It's not a 'perhaps'," Long Yi smiled. "Since Mr. Lu has decided to act, he will not fail. So you don't need to worry too much!"
"Who is he? How does he possess such skills!" Yang Shiyun was surprised and even more confused, as Lu Fan was so young yet so extraordinary.
"To tell you the truth, he might be your brother!"
Gu Wen said with an awkward laugh, a little slow.
"My brother?"
Yang Shiyun was bewildered. "I only have a sister, and he is not here."
"I can't explain it clearly. After my master cures the old lady, he will explain it to you himself," Gu Wen said.
Yang Shiyun nodded slightly and looked at the old lady again. Her breathing had already become steady, and her life force had returned.
Seeing this, Old Mr. Han was incredulous. He never expected things to turn out this way, and it caught him completely off guard.
"This is absolutely impossible! What kind of method is this, to bring the dead back to life!" Old Mr. Han's words were solemn, and his expression gradually darkened.
"What method it is doesn't matter. What matters is that the old lady is fine!"
Lu Fan spoke, his expression solemn. He knew very well that if he hadn't arrived in time, the old lady's life would have been in danger.
"Young man, you are indeed a peerless divine doctor. I never expected you to have such skills!"
Yang Shihai said with a smile, "You have truly astounded me!"
As he said this, Lu Fan suddenly stood up and looked towards Yang Shihai, tears welling up in his eyes.
Although Yang Shihai didn't recognize him, Lu Fan felt a deep affection for the familiar eyes before him. He remembered that in his childhood, Yang Shihai had carved many wooden sculptures for him and often played with him.
"Young man, what's wrong?" Yang Shihai asked curiously. "Don't worry, the old lady's illness has been cured by you. The Yang family will never treat you unfairly in the future!"
"Uncle, have you forgotten me?" Lu Fan's voice rang out, and he looked at Yang Shihai again.
Yang Shihai's body trembled. "You... are Xiao Fan?"
"That's right, I am Xiao Fan!" Lu Fan nodded solemnly. "I didn't expect that after so many years, Uncle hasn't changed!"
"Xiao Fan, you are Xiao Fan?" Yang Shiyun looked surprised. "How could you be Xiao Fan! What's going on! Wasn't the Lu family massacred 18 years ago?"
"The Lu family was indeed massacred 18 years ago, but I survived!"
Lu Fan's expression was solemn. "I didn't expect my maternal grandmother to fall ill. If I had arrived a day later, I would have regretted it for the rest of my life!"
"Are you really Xiao Fan?" Yang Shihai looked incredulous. He knew very well that in the great fire back then, the Lu family had been wiped out, and even their Yang family had been affected. He and Yang Shiwen had even been separated.
"I am truly Xiao Fan!"
Lu Fan nodded solemnly. "Uncle, do you still remember the wooden bird sculpture you made for me when I was little?"
"Xiao Fan, you are truly Xiao Fan!"
Yang Shihai was filled with emotion. He never imagined that Lu Fan was still alive. After all, no one dared to mention the massacre of the Lu family back then; they had all died tragically. He never expected Lu Fan to still be alive.
