Chapter 759: Really cured?

In the end, he had become certain that only Seven Needles could be used; otherwise, there was no way to pull him back from the brink of death.

However, regarding the initial treatment by the three doctors, he didn’t say anything because he knew it was not out of intention or carelessness, but rather that they truly did their best. Within the scope of their medical knowledge, what they had done was indeed the correct approach. To put it more clearly, if this young man hadn’t encountered a doctor like him, he would have been a goner for sure!

"No trouble, no trouble at all, Doctor Xiao, what do you need us to do?"

When the three doctors heard Xiao Yi’s words and realized that the patient still had a chance, their faces immediately brightened with joy. They all understood what Xiao Yi meant by asking for their help, which was to assist him and pass things during the procedure. Yet they showed no discontent, nodding eagerly as if they had been given an honourable task.

Xiao Yi nodded and, without any further pleasantries, began directing them. They all got busy at once, and he himself also focused intently on the task, his hands moving swiftly as he applied the Seven Needles to the patient’s body.

.....................

"Dean Chen, why hasn’t there been any news after so much time?"

Zeng Xiaomei furrowed her brows and looked anxiously towards Dean Chen beside her, her heart growing immensely anxious.

It had been two hours since Xiao Yi and his team entered the operating room, longer than the previous doctors had taken, yet there was still no sign of activity from the operating room. Other surgeries had been concluding one by one.

"Well, Miss Zeng, that person’s injuries were very serious, so it’s normal for the procedure to take longer. Please be patient and trust that Doctor Xiao and his team will save him."

At that moment, Dean Chen himself wasn’t confident about the situation inside the operating room, but seeing the anxious and worried expression on Zeng Xiaomei’s face, he patiently tried to reassure her.

"Click!"

As if in response to Dean Chen’s words, the moment his voice fell, the light above the operating room door went out.

"They’re out! They’re out!"

Dean Chen was the first to react, pointing at the surgical light with joy and speaking excitedly to Zeng Xiaomei.

Without needing Dean Chen to say anything, Zeng Xiaomei had already rushed to the door of the operating room in excitement.

"Doctor, how is the situation?"

As soon as the door to the operating room opened, Zeng Xiaomei rushed up and anxiously grabbed the hand of Doctor Li, who was at the forefront, bombarding him with questions.

The three doctors, seeing the extreme anxiety on Zeng Xiaomei’s face, didn’t say a word but instead all looked towards Xiao Yi, leaving it to him to answer. Smiles crept onto their faces, and their eyes were filled with immense admiration.

"Officer Zeng, mission accomplished. That person should be alright now. However, the patient’s condition was indeed quite complicated, which is why it took a longer time. But given his condition, being able to save his life was already no small feat."

Xiao Yi chuckled, spreading his hands toward Zeng Xiaomei. Despite his Cultivation Power growing at a rapid pace and his increasing familiarity with the Seven Needles with each use, the exhaustion of performing such complicated surgery was still enormously taxing on him, and his eyes betrayed a hint of indescribable fatigue.

Saved?

Zeng Xiaomei was completely stunned, looking incredulously at the several doctors in front, thinking she had misheard or was hallucinating.

"Miss Zeng, you should really thank Doctor Xiao. If it wasn’t for him, there would have been no hope for the patient. He truly exhausted himself in the effort to save this patient."

"Indeed, Miss Zeng, you should earnestly thank Doctor Xiao. He was literally fighting for the patient’s life."

"..."

Seeing Zeng Xiaomei standing there, dumbfounded without so much as a word of thanks, and seemingly skeptical of what Xiao Yi had said, the doctors felt annoyed considering her previous attitude towards Xiao Yi. They all began to remind her to express her gratitude.

Xiao Yi’s exhausting efforts had not gone unnoticed, as sweat drenched his face after administering the needles, yet he didn’t even pause to rest before he picked up the scalpel with focused determination and assisted in the surgery. Throughout the entire process, which lasted over two hours, it was essentially Xiao Yi working nonstop, while they only dealt with some minor cuts and wounds, playing no significant role. Hence, their admiration for Xiao Yi was mingled with a sense of guilt.

"Xiao Yi, thank you!"

Upon the reminders of several doctors, Zeng Xiaomei finally snapped back to reality, truly convinced that what Xiao Yi had said earlier was genuine, not a joke or her imagination. She took a deep breath, her expression complex as she looked at Xiao Yi and sincerely said, "Thank you."

After all, the three doctors were right, Xiao Yi had helped save a life. He wasn’t obligated to treat the injured as he wasn’t a professional doctor and had no relation to the victim. Indeed, she owed him a great favor.

At that moment, she began to see things weren’t as simple as she had previously thought, perhaps Xiao Yi’s medical skills weren’t just at the level of a barefoot doctor.

The praise and respect he received from the three doctors might not have solely been dumb luck; it was possible that he truly possessed extraordinary abilities.

Still, she found it hard to believe that a young man from the countryside could surpass the best specialists in the best hospital in the province. But the undeniable fact was right before her, and she had no choice but to accept it.

Maybe he was particularly gifted in medicine?

Zeng Xiaomei found a reason to explain it to herself and her gaze became even more complex. It was unexpected that this young man had such a unique skill. From the looks of it, even if he didn’t study at Z University, he could probably find a decent job after graduating, with such medical skills to fall back on.

"No need for courtesy, it was merely a simple effort, and the doctors are perhaps too generous with their praise," Xiao Yi replied with a smile, despite knowing that what the doctors said was true, and he undoubtedly deserved their thanks. He had indeed given so much, and if it required kneeling in gratitude, it would be worth it. However, Xiao Yi continued to respond with a humble smile.

That was the kind of person he was; the more modest and courteous others were to him, the more modest he would be. However, if anyone tried to act pretentiously or arrogantly in front of him, he would let them know what real talent and true pride were.

Keeping his composure without being arrogant after accomplishing something, especially for someone as young as he was, truly was a rarity; his character was indeed commendable.

Zeng Xiaomei watched the modest smile on Xiao Yi’s face, nodding silently in her heart and showing a trace of relief in her eyes. She knew she couldn’t take his words about it being a simple effort seriously—as the two-hour surgery and from every other perspective, reviving someone on the brink of death was far from a trivial matter.

Though the patient had been saved and was no longer in imminent danger, recovery was not immediate, and the hospital’s protocol had to be followed, which involved transferring him to a sterile intensive care unit for observation and treatment over the next couple of days.

Of course, these were not tasks for Xiao Yi to undertake, as the hospital’s nurses would handle them, followed by the routine observations by Dr. Li, who was in charge; Xiao Yi’s presence was no longer necessary.

After briefly catching up, instructing Doctor Niu on some precautions, and telling them to call him if anything arose, Xiao Yi said his goodbyes, ready to head home.

"I’ll escort you," offered Zeng Xiaomei immediately upon hearing of Xiao Yi’s departure.

She had come today mainly to check on the patient’s condition; now that she knew the details and since it would at least take two days for the patient to wake up and be questioned, staying at the hospital had become pointless. Plus, it was getting late, so she decided not to linger any longer.

Upon hearing Zeng Xiaomei volunteer to escort Xiao Yi, the nearby doctors nodded slightly, showing rare satisfaction on their faces. They inwardly praised her for having a shred of conscience.

"No, no need, I can go back on my own," Xiao Yi quickly refused, surprised by Zeng Xiaomei’s proposition to take him home, waving his hands in denial.

He was joking—the person in question was Zeng Xiaomei, Officer Zeng. Go back with her, in the same car? The mere thought made Xiao Yi feel the weight of immense pressure.

However, Xiao Yi’s refusal ultimately had no effect.

"I said I’m escorting you, no need for all this fuss!" Zeng Xiaomei said flatly, leaving no room for Xiao Yi to refuse.
