When the few uncles behind the old man heard his words, they all became anxious. They were about to speak when the old man raised his hand as if he had sensed something.
“Are you so sure that Qing-er will lose?”
His words silenced the uncles. Yes, Shangguan Qing might not necessarily lose. They were so anxious that the branch family’s descendants felt pleased.
Shangguan Qing’s expression was hideous. Everyone could tell that Old Master Shangguan was protecting Shangguan Xuelan. However, none of them dared to disobey his orders. The Shangguan family’s success today was all thanks to the Old Master’s connections and superb medical skills.
As long as he canceled someone, medical families in North China would exclude him. This was the power of the Shangguan family.
When Shangguan Xuelan heard his words, she immediately beamed with joy. “Alright, alright. Then it’s decided. Grandpa, I’ll compete in whatever you say!”
The old man revealed a rare smile. He looked at Shangguan Qing and said, “Qing-er, do you have any competition you want to compete in?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShangguan Qing laughed coldly in his heart. This old man seemed to be very confident in Shangguan Xuelan’s strength. Did he think that Shangguan Xuelan could win any event?
“Then let’s compete in the Golden Needle’s 69 Forms.”
Then, he looked at Shangguan Xuelan proudly. These uncles had yet to learn the 69 movements of the golden needle thoroughly. It was the tenth set of the most challenging acupuncture method in the Shangguan family. He had long memorized all the tricks of the acupuncture method. He was sure that Shangguan Xuelan had not learned this set, so he challenged her.
Several uncles looked at Shangguan Qing with admiration. This child had chosen a good set of acupuncture techniques. They wanted to see how the children of the branch family could compare with their own family.
The old man’s face was expressionless, and he had no extra opinions. He nodded and said, “Then let’s compete in that.”
Shangguan Xuelan had a strange expression, and how she looked at Shangguan Qing was even more bizarre. Shangguan Qing thought she was guilty, and he felt that victory was in his hands.
“Fourth Sister, if you don’t have any objections, let’s go to the Medicine Hall to get the needles and begin the competition.”
When they arrived at the Medicine Hall, Shangguan Qing took the lead in getting the needles.
“I’ll go first!” He would use his expertise to crush Shangguan Xuelan’s confidence. Once Shangguan Xuelan witnessed his acupuncture technique, she probably would not even be able to hold a needle steadily. Thinking of this, Shangguan Qing smiled excitedly.
Shangguan Xuelan nodded disinterestedly and sat on an armchair in the Medicine Hall. She did not care how her uncles looked at her and just sat down comfortably.
The few uncles saw this and had uncomfortable expressions on their faces. Everyone else was standing, but this little girl was seated down first. She did not take them seriously at all.
Shangguan Xuelan glanced at the old man, who was still standing and pointed at the rattan chair with a soft couch. “Grandpa, you can sit on that one. It s more comfortable. I don’t know when Third Brother will finish the acupuncture.”
When Old Master heard her words, he waved his hand indifferently. “It’s okay. I’ll see if your brother has improved recently.”
The few uncles walked up to Shangguan Qing and saw that he was holding four or five golden needles in his hand. He said confidently, “Feel free to observe.”
The Shangguan family had special training for the human body and made a unique mortal body with much money. Every time an acupuncture point was hit, the depth of the strength would be indicated, and the accuracy and time used would also be calculated. It was the most commonly used method to test strength and acupuncture techniques.
The Golden Needle’s 69 Forms required one to complete 309 double-point needling within one hour. The sequence of each needling was six needles and nine needles. After the sixth needle, the next double-point needling must be done simultaneously. This was rhe most challenging part of the process.
At the same time, one had to ensure that all the acupuncture points used the same amount of strength. Only then could one perfectly display the effects of the Golden Needle’s 69 Forms.
This set of acupuncture techniques could unblock the meridians in the entire body, achieve the reversal of meridians, and return blood flow to the soul. Even people on the verge of death could survive through this set of acupuncture techniques.
Shangguan Qing held five needles in his left hand while his right hand adjusted the number of needles according to the situation. His speed was appropriate, and he controlled the time of each acupuncture. This way, his hand would not tremble because of long-term acupuncture.
Seeing his experienced needling technique and steady hand gestures, a few uncles immediately praised him, “Qing-er, when did you have this trick up your sleeve? If your dad saw this exquisite craftsmanship, he would be proud.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yes, to be able to complete the Golden Needle s 69 Forms so well, it won’t be long before you become the most talented person in our Shangguan family!” “Recently, I’ve seen Qing-er studying studiously. So it turns out that he’s studying acupuncture.”
Their compliments did not attract the old man’s attention. He only glanced at them indifferently and asked the butler to pour him a cup of tea.
Two hours later, Shangguan Qing, sweating profusely, wiped his sweat. His fingers were sore, which resulted from controlling the time. If he did not do so, he wouldn’t have been able to use the needles so many times.
“Grandpa, I’m done,”
The old man nodded and stood up to look at the data on the human body. The accuracy was 77%, the acupuncture time was 121 minutes, and the overall score was 75.
“Not bad, not bad. You’ve made progress!”
Hearing the old man’s praise, the few uncles could not help but reveal smug expressions.
He would become a significant figure in reaching the grading standard of 75 at a young age.
“Where’s Fourth Sister? Fourth Sister, it’s your turn!” Shangguan Qing called out but found Shangguan Xuelan failing asleep on the recliner. Her appearance made Shangguan Qing even angrier.
“Fourth Sister! It’s your turn!” Uncle Liu called her several times before Shangguan Xuelan yawned. She got up from the armchair sleepily and rubbed her eyes.” Are you done? Finally. My hair’s turning white.”
“Alright, stop pretending. Hurry up and compete!” Shangguan Qing was getting impatient. He wanted to see how Shangguan Xuelan would surpass him.
Shangguan Xuelan stretched her body slowly and casually took a box of golden needles from the side.
“Don’t blink. I’ll only demonstrate it once. 1 won’t teach you again if you can’t see it.”
Shangguan Qing sneered. Shangguan Xu elan’s words were highly arrogant..
