What kind of master of traditional Chinese medicine? I'm just a male technician.

Chapter 151 Live-in Son-in-Law

About ten minutes later...

An old woman with a hunched back appeared at the entrance of Huichuntang.

"Oh, Xiao Li, and Xiao Tao, you're here! Please have a seat."

As soon as Wang Yinghe returned, she immediately greeted her warmly.

Li Yi quickly said, "Aunt Wang, please don't bother with that. I came here today because I have something I want to ask you..."

The next moment, upon hearing the words "Guangsheng Hall," Wang Yinghe's expression immediately changed. "The Zhao family lineage!"

Previously, Zhao Liangli claimed to be from the Wang family lineage, but now Wang Yinghe claims he is from the Zhao family lineage.

It seems that things are indeed much as I imagined.

Li Yi asked, "Aunt Wang, could it be that Zhao Liangli is the sworn enemy you mentioned before?"

"Sigh, I didn't expect them to come knocking on our door so quickly." Wang Yinghe sighed, then nodded. "Actually, the Zhao family, like ours, were all disciples of the Ghost Doctor in the past."

When Li Yi first obtained the Thirteen Ghost Needles, he knew that the Ghost Doctor was not just a legend, but a real person.

Therefore, he was not shocked when he heard Wang Yinghe's words.

"Aunt Wang, since you and the man surnamed Zhao are all descendants of the Ghost Doctor, why are they trying to seize the Thirteen Ghost Needles? Don't they know this needling technique?"

Wang Yinghe shook her head, "Our patriarch was born in a chaotic era. Besides his astonishing medical skills, he also possessed unfathomable martial arts..."

Now that things have come to this, Wang Yinghe no longer hides anything.

She slowly recounted a story from the past.

It turns out that the ghost doctor had two personal disciples.

One disciple received his true medical skills, while the other received his true martial arts skills.

After these two disciples started their own families, they passed down the Ghost Doctor's medical skills and martial arts from generation to generation.

People from two different lineages should have supported each other and lived peacefully by themselves.

However, with the changing times and the development of technology, martial arts have become increasingly declining.

Especially during the Qing Dynasty, cold weapons were completely phased out, and foreign guns and cannons became the mainstream.

In that turbulent era, the Zhao family lineage faced increasingly difficult times, and almost lost its lineage altogether.

Since the two families were of the same lineage, the Wang family, feeling compassion, passed on all their medical skills to the Zhao family, except for the Thirteen Ghost Needles, without reservation.

At first, the Zhao family was quite grateful for the medical skills they had inherited.

However, later on, the other party made full use of the secret recipe passed down from their ancestors, and their business grew bigger and bigger, and their family also grew bigger and bigger, soon surpassing the entire Wang family.

So the other party set their sights on the Thirteen Ghost Needles.

As the most important inheritor of the Ghost Doctor's legacy, Wang naturally refused to pass on the Thirteen Ghost Needles to Zhao.

However, by then, the Zhao family's power had far surpassed that of the Wang family.

"Alas! We are all born of the same root, why must we fight each other so fiercely!"

Wang Yinghe sighed and continued, "My ancestors had considered passing on the Thirteen Ghost Needles technique to the Zhao family, but they became increasingly arrogant and even repeatedly harmed members of my Wang family."

Later, our ancestors made an alliance with the other party, agreeing to let their medical skills prove their superiority. If the Zhao family could win in terms of medical skills, we would bring out the Thirteen Ghost Needles; otherwise, we would destroy the entire acupuncture technique.

Lady Zhao, feeling apprehensive, finally agreed.

Upon hearing this, Wang Tao couldn't help but curse, "Outrageous! Those Zhaos not only don't know how to be grateful, but they even dare to harm people. They're a bunch of ingrates!"

Wang Yinghe shook her head with a wry smile, "We also saw through the Zhao family's wolfish ambitions, so naturally we won't easily hand over the Thirteen Ghost Needles to them."

However, in addition to the Thirteen Ghost Needles, Zhao also learned all the ancestral medical skills.

At first, our Wang family was able to defeat our opponents in the competition, but in my generation, I am dull-witted and have no confidence in defeating the Zhao family.

Left with no other choice, I could only take Xiaonan and hide, trying to avoid the Zhao family from falling into their hands with this acupuncture technique.

After listening to Wang Yinghe's story, Li Yi finally understood why she, with her superb medical skills, had always stayed at such a small pharmacy as Huichuntang.

"Aunt Wang, don't worry. The Zhao family only knows me right now and hasn't discovered your identities. I will absolutely not teach them this acupuncture technique."

"The Zhao family is now determined to obtain the Thirteen Ghost Needles, and they will definitely not give up easily."

Wang Yinghe shook her head. "By the way, Xiao Li, how did they find you?"

Li Yi recalled that he had only used the Thirteen Ghost Needles twice.

The first time was to help Wu Xiyue resolve the poison in her internal organs.

It happened in the hospital, and there were no outsiders present, so there shouldn't have been any possibility of a leak.

"Aunt Wang, I attended a charity gala a couple of days ago. There was a patient who was about to have a stroke and was in critical condition. I used the Thirteen Ghost Needles technique to help alleviate the patient's symptoms."

There were quite a few people there at the time; I guess that's when the man surnamed Zhao discovered him.

"That's not right. It's just a minor stroke. With your medical skills, Xiao Li, it should be easy to handle. Why would you need the Thirteen Ghost Needles?"

"Cough cough... There were still some residues on that person's body at the time, and I was afraid of getting my hands dirty, so to save time, I used the acupuncture technique."

Li Yi never expected that his momentary laziness would cause such a big problem, and he immediately felt a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Wang Yinghe didn't take it to heart at all. "How many needles did you use to treat the other person?"

"Three needles."

Upon hearing this answer, Wang Yinghe's eyes lit up. "Xiao Li, have your medical skills improved so quickly lately?"

Li Yi nodded. "I'd say you've achieved some success."

When he first met Wang Yinghe, his highest diagnostic skill was only LV4, and his other skills were mostly LV3.

Now, all skills have been upgraded to LV5, which is indeed a significant improvement.

Wang Yinghe instantly perked up. "So, are you confident that you can surpass the Zhao family in medical skills?"

Li Yi was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood her meaning. "Aunt Wang, do you want me to accept their challenge?"

"That's right! Running away is not the solution. Sooner or later, the Zhao family will find us. I gave you the Thirteen Ghost Needles in the first place, hoping that one day you could take the place of our Wang family and face the challenges squarely."

"But Aunt Wang, you said before that the challengers must be direct descendants of the Zhao and Wang families. As an outsider, do you think the Zhao family will agree to my involvement?"

"That's easy!"

Wang Yinghe glanced at her daughter and smiled, "As long as you become a son-in-law of the Wang family, you will naturally not be an outsider."

Wait! Right now, there are only Wang Yinghe and Wang Yingnan left in the entire Wang family.

Does Wang Yinghe mean that he wants him to marry her daughter?

Upon hearing this, Li Yi subconsciously turned to look at Wang Yingnan.
