Why Is This Jinx Targeting Me Again?

Ye Chen could not even be bothered to spare him another glance.

These so-called rich young masters were all worthless trash. When one general's success was built upon ten thousand bones, they were the withered bones beneath his feet!

His gaze had already fallen on Jiang Xiaoyue, and a hint of lust had appeared in his eyes.

After returning to Suhang, the first thing he did was have his men investigate and compile some information for him.

This dossier recorded all the famous beauties in Suhang!

Jiang Xiaoyue ranked in the top ten on that list!

She was also a woman Ye Chen had long ago set his sights on and decided to bring into his harem!

It was not merely because she was beautiful, but also because of her grandfather!

Of course, it was not that Ye Chen coveted her grandfather's beauty. What he wanted was the Jiang Family's network of connections.

A family of divine physicians, they had saved countless important figures!

If he obtained Jiang Xiaoyue, that network would be able to help him tremendously!

At that moment, Jiang Xiaoyue was wholly focused on taking Old Master Wang's pulse and diagnosing him.

After examining him for a moment, she understood the nature of his condition.

The moment Jiang Xiaoyue released his wrist, Wang Rulong hurriedly asked, "Divine Physician Jiang, how is my grandfather?"

"Blocked meridians caused by a stroke, along with some other complications that led to hemiplegia. But it isn't too serious. I just need to use the Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate to clear his meridians."

As Jiang Xiaoyue spoke, she opened her case and took out her silver needles.

Then she waved Tang Yu over and called, "Brother Tang Yu, come help me sterilize the silver needles."

"Ah? I'm probably not up to it..."

Although men could not say they were incapable.

Tang Yu felt that he truly was incapable.

Fuck, I was already lying down properly, and I still got hit by a stray bullet?

"Get over here. Weren't you quite skilled at this before? You're the only one here who knows the order in which I place my needles!"

Jiang Xiaoyue urged.

At that moment, Tang Yu would rather have been the one lying on the bed with a stroke.

But in front of everyone, he could not very well refuse such a small favor. Otherwise, it would make him seem terribly unfilial toward Old Master Wang.

He walked over, took the silver needles, and was just about to sterilize them when he noticed Ye Chen shooting him a gaze filled with killing intent.

Your mother's rotten bastard, how is this Lin Bei's fault too?

Tang Yu groaned inwardly. He had somehow provoked this jinx again.

What bad luck!

Ye Chen, meanwhile, secretly clenched his teeth. This Tang fellow truly deserved to die!

Was he going to lay his hands on every woman Ye Chen liked?

"Close the doors and windows, and the rest of you move back. Don't crowd around."

Before beginning the acupuncture, Jiang Xiaoyue had everyone disperse, leaving only Tang Yu by her side to assist her.

Holding her breath, Jiang Xiaoyue was just about to begin placing the needles.

But Ye Chen suddenly spoke up and interrupted her.

He stepped forward, his expression calm as he said,

"Divine Physician Jiang, are you planning to use the Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate, starting from Old Master Wang's Tianzhu Acupoint, to treat his hemiplegia?"

"Yes. Why?"

Jiang Xiaoyue frowned slightly. She had only just gathered her focus, yet he had suddenly interrupted her, leaving her somewhat displeased.

"I don't think that is appropriate. I'm afraid you have not identified the old master's true problem. Using needles to clear his meridians like this may instead harm his body. If you are not confident, I think it would be better to let me do it."

Ye Chen stepped forward and said.

The instant he spoke, the Wang Family members all showed displeasure and berated him.

"What are you supposed to be? Who gave you the right to teach Divine Physician Jiang how to treat someone?"

"What a joke. This is the first time I've heard of someone teaching Divine Physician Jiang how to diagnose an illness!"

"Who brought him here? Throw him out!"

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you won't have trouble finding it next time.

[Haha, here it comes—the classic routine. First, he steps out and draws everyone's hatred.]

[After drawing their hatred, he'll make a bet. Then Xiaoyue will continue treating him, and when her treatment goes wrong, he'll step in and show off. By then, the Wang Family will be convinced by him, and Xiaoyue will admire his medical skills and fall in love with him.]

[But Xiaoyue's treatment isn't actually wrong. She's just worried about harming the old master's body, so her needles are too conservative. She should be more forceful and stimulate the Waiqiu Acupoint to discharge the stagnant blood.]

Tang Yu silently grumbled in his heart from the side.

After Xiaoyue heard all those thoughts, her expression instantly turned extremely strange.

Although Ye Chen was burning with anger after being berated by the crowd, his face remained calm.

Otherwise, how could he display the bearing of an expert?

Wang Rulong hurriedly stepped forward to plead for him.

"Elders, I invited Ye Chen here. He is also skilled in medicine and came to treat my grandfather. Why not give him a chance?"

"Outrageous! Is your grandfather's health some kind of joke? You brought back some random person and want to let him try? What use is some green brat whose beard hasn't even grown in?"

A middle-aged man angrily rebuked him.

"Oh?"

Ye Chen sneered upon hearing that, then said coldly, "Divine Physician Jiang is even younger than I am. How do you know my medical skills are inferior to hers? Why don't we make a bet?"

"What bet?"

"If Divine Physician Jiang cannot cure him, I will save the old master, but you must apologize to me."

"And if Divine Physician Jiang cures him?"

"If she cures him, I, Ye Chen, will crawl out of the Wang Family estate!"

"Fine, it's a deal," the middle-aged man said angrily.

If even Divine Physician Jiang could not cure him, then only her grandfather himself coming personally would do!

Seeing that his plan was proceeding smoothly, Ye Chen felt immensely pleased with himself.

How else could he make these great families look upon him with respect?

This was called psychology!

He looked at the displeased Jiang Xiaoyue and gave his signature wicked, charming smile.

"Divine Physician Jiang, you can make a bet with me too. Anything is fine! I, Ye Chen, will never go back on my word!"

Jiang Xiaoyue had listened to Tang Yu's thoughts for quite some time and already understood the general situation.

At that moment, she had no favorable impression of Ye Chen whatsoever. She even found his smile unbearably greasy!

A bet?

As a physician, how could she use something as sacred as practicing medicine as a wager?

"Sorry, I won't bet. Please be quiet and stop interfering with my treatment."

After answering coldly, she had Tang Yu sterilize the silver needles again.

Ye Chen did not care about Jiang Xiaoyue's frosty attitude.

Once he displayed his medical skills and conquered her later, she would naturally become infatuated with him!

After all, women were creatures born to admire the strong!

Wang Rulong, standing nearby, was feeling extremely uneasy. This was Divine Physician Jiang, after all.

He had originally planned to let Ye Chen act first. Once Ye Chen cured his grandfather, Wang Rulong, as the one who recommended him, would naturally receive the greatest credit!

But when he saw Ye Chen's confident, wicked smile, he was infected by that confidence as well.

Look, Brother Ye was smiling like that. It meant everything was entirely under his control.

As expected of you, Brother Ye!

[Sigh, looks like I remembered correctly. After the old master's treatment, there will still be stagnant blood inside him that hasn't been discharged. Xiaoyue's treatment plan has a small flaw.]

[In a few more minutes, it'll be Ye Chen's time to show off. Xiaoyue will develop a favorable impression of him because of it and eventually become part of his harem.]

Tang Yu's inner voice sounded again.

After hearing it, Jiang Xiaoyue merely remained expressionless and focused her attention on the silver needles in her hand.

As a family of divine physicians, the Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate was the Jiang Family's ultimate trump card!

Very soon, her hands moved like afterimages as silver needle after silver needle descended without pause.

After she placed all thirteen needles in one breath, Old Master Wang's complexion immediately began to change.

The Wang Family members in the room all grew nervous as well.
