An Apology = a Duel?

Making medicinal pastes meant Su Ziyang completely sacrificed his sleep.

One serving per person for five whole days.

Su Ziyang only meditates and rests for one to two hours each day.

"Hey, Brother Han, I've finished making all the ointments. Should I tell them to pick them up together, or what should I do?"

Su Ziyang directly notified Han Jinkai by phone.

"Oh, well, I'll go get it, and I'll distribute it to them later. Hey, do you want to go hiking tomorrow, Saturday? We're planning a picnic."

Han Jinkai's hearty laughter came through the phone.

"I'm not going, Brother Han, I have things to do tomorrow."

Su Ziyang chuckled and declined Han Jinkai's invitation.

Let's talk about it when we meet.

Han Jinkai came with Song Li. Su Ziyang was inside giving acupuncture to Yu Xiushui.

"Hey, Brother Han. Where are your things? I'll let you know when I'm done with the stitches."

When Su Ziyang saw the two enter the room, he asked them to sit down and wait. After finishing the acupuncture, he began to explain the effects of the medicine to them.

Each person received a ceramic jar. Su Ziyang put the jars into several bags, and labeled the bags with each person's name on them.

Song Li opened his box and a sweet fragrance immediately wafted out.

"It smells wonderful, and it's so tasteful! This little jar is also quite pretty. Thanks for your hard work, brother."

Song Li chuckled and patted Su Ziyang on the back.

"You're too kind! Just one small spoonful a day, dissolved in warm water, taken after meals!"

Su Ziyang explained the method of consumption to Han Jinkai and Song Li.

"Let's go together tomorrow. I'll have them pick you up by car. We'll go hiking, have a whole roasted lamb, and then have some drinks?"

Song Li then invited Su Ziyang.

"Brothers, I really can't go. Please don't blame me. I have to visit one of my teachers tomorrow; Taisui. And a friend of mine opened a massage parlor the day after tomorrow, so I need to go help out."

Upon hearing that Su Ziyang was indeed busy, the two did not press the issue further.

"Alright, we were just hanging out. Go ahead and do what you need to do; there'll be plenty of time to get together!"

The two chatted with Su Ziyang for a while longer before taking their things and leaving.

"Grandpa, let me give you some acupuncture."

After seeing the two off, Su Ziyang began to focus on giving the old man acupuncture.

The old man suffers from knee arthritis, his knees are extremely painful, and there is fluid buildup inside, so he has to go to the hospital every time to have it drained with a syringe.

Later, after Yu Xiushui introduced Su Ziyang to her, Su Ziyang performed acupuncture on her several times, and the results were remarkable. So she continued to receive acupuncture from Su Ziyang.

"Okay!" the old man replied, still lying down.

Knee pain is a common ailment related to aging, and many older people experience some degree of it.

Why?

First of all, the knee is the residence of tendons, which means that the energy of all the tendons in the body gathers above the knee. Therefore, the knee is almost entirely surrounded by tendons, with almost no muscles surrounding it.

As people age, their vital energy gradually diminishes, and their muscles and bones slowly become lax, which can lead to various kinds of pain.

This condition is similar to teeth loosening and falling out as people age; the main treatment is to relieve the pain.

Su Ziyang performed acupuncture on the knee, inserting a total of five needles.

This set of acupuncture techniques, passed down from Yang Tianzheng to Su Ziyang, is called the Five Knee Needles.

One needle at Nei Dubi (Inner Dubi), one needle at Wai Dubi (Outer Dubi), one needle at Heding (Crane's Top), one needle at Yanglingquan (Yanglingquan), and one needle at Yinlingquan (Yinlingquan).

For Yanglingquan and Yinlingquan, you can choose to use a single needle to pierce both acupoints, that is, to use a long needle to pierce these two acupoints.

If you feel your technique is not good enough, then separate the needles, one needle each at Yanglingquan and Yinlingquan.

The inner and outer knees have a common name, which refers to the inner and outer knee eyes.

Su Ziyang discovered that the acupuncture techniques Yang Tianzheng passed on to him were exceptionally effective; for example, the old man in front of him was now a loyal fan.

Knowing which acupoint to needle is one thing; performing the technique well is another.

Su Ziyang mainly uses the Dragon-Tiger Battle Technique, primarily for pain relief.

After using the technique, Su Ziyang felt his fingers were tired, but the result was excellent.

Forty minutes later, after getting off the bed, the old man jumped around a few times.

"Doctor Su, I'm seventy years old, and I've had acupuncture before! But I've never seen anyone with such excellent technique as you!"

After each acupuncture session, the old man would shower Su Ziyang with praise, using different words each time, until Su Ziyang felt embarrassed.

"Sir, you're making me feel embarrassed!"

Su Ziyang chuckled.

"Oh, of course. Of course. I'm leaving now, Doctor Su, you're busy!"

"Hey, wait a minute!"

The phone rang not long after the old man left.

"Junior!"

Without even looking at who it was, Su Ziyang knew from the voice that it was his senior Bao Mingya.

Since the last discussion in the Wind and Waves Pavilion, I wonder if Bao Mingya's husband Li Yanzhen, got jealous or what.

Bao Mingya never contacted Su Ziyang again. Su Ziyang was so busy every day that he naturally had no time to contact Bao Mingya.

"Senior, please tell me what's wrong!"

"Do I only contact you when I need something?"

Bao Mingya's cool voice came through the phone.

"Ah, that's good. I'll get back to work now, senior."

Bao Mingya never visits the temple without a reason, Su Ziyang Bao Mingya teased her in return.

"Haha, this time there's actually something going on."

Bao Mingya has a cheerful personality, and she laughed as she changed the subject.

"Please speak!" Su Ziyang said again.

"I have something to ask you. My dad keeps catching colds. Is there anything we can do?"

"Um..." Su Ziyang hesitated for a moment, then said, "We should ask my brother-in-law about this! I don't really know much about it!"

"Get out of here!" Bao Mingya laughed and scolded, "I'd have to go to your clinic myself to ask you to come. If he needed you, why would I ask you? Speak properly to me, I'll give you one more chance to think things through!"

"Let me tell you, Bao Tietou, I never accept threats. If you bow your head and say a few nice words, I might see what I can do!"

Feeling bored, Su Ziyang started joking with Bao Mingya.

"You..."

Bao Mingya's fiery temper flared up, but before she could finish speaking, Su Ziyang said on the phone, "Wait a minute, I have something to do!"

Just then, Bao Mingya Bao Mingya heard the phone hang up. When she saw that Su Ziyang had really hung up on her, she angrily threw her phone onto the sofa with a "smack."

"You little rascal, have you forgotten how you used to follow me around like a shadow during your hospital internship, calling me 'senior sister' this and 'senior sister' that? It's infuriating!"

Bao Mingya slammed her hand on the table, her finger poking into the lid of a teacup.

"Hiss~"

Bao Mingya clutched her hand, her face turning red with pain.

"You've forced me to teach you a lesson!"

Bao Mingya gritted her teeth and began putting on makeup to prepare for going out.

Su Ziyang didn't intentionally hang up on Bao Mingya's call, because Su Ziyang saw someone... Fu Xinyu.

Ever since Han Jinkai and his gang said they would help Su Ziyang get justice, Fu Xinyu hasn't come to work the next day. Su Ziyang was so busy making herbal plasters that his head was buzzing, and he didn't think about it too much.

But when he saw Fu Xinyu appear in his clinic today with a gloomy expression, he instantly understood what was going on.

"Su Ziyang, you're something else. You hired people to mess with my dad and my uncle? I just don't understand, how do you, an outsider, have this kind of network of connections?"

Fu Xinyu speaks fluent Chinese classical poetry.

Su Ziyang simply sat in his seat, looking at Fu Xinyu without saying a word.

Fu Xinyu had twice used those despicable methods to cause trouble for him, and Su Ziyang had endured it without retaliating. However, after being verbally abused face-to-face like this, Su Ziyang's anger slowly began to rise.

"You son of a bitch, my dad sent me to apologize to you! Let me tell you straight, I'm not apologizing to you. In all my life, I've always been the one bullying others; I've never seen anyone dare to bully me. You're the first!"

Fu Xinyu walked to Su Ziyang's consultation table and slammed his hand on it, making a loud banging sound.

Seeing that the mad dog was about to go berserk, Su Ziyang quickly put the Parker pen on the table into the drawer.

Seeing that Su Ziyang remained silent and calmly seated, Fu Xinyu's anger flared even more. "Let me tell you! There's no way I'll apologize to you! You and I have a one-on-one fight. If I win, tell your connections to stop messing with my family's business. If I lose, I'm fired from this clinic! Do you dare!"

Fu Xinyu pointed at Su Ziyang and shouted at him. Fu Xinyu found that Su Ziyang Su Ziyang was still unmoved even after he said those words.

After saying that, Su Ziyang felt a little awkward and didn't know what to say for a moment. Didn't Fu Xinyu know how the group of thugs he had hired last time had been arrested?

Fu Xinyu actually had no idea, because after those people went inside, they could no longer contact Fu Xinyu.

Fu Xinyu initially thought that the group had simply disappeared after finishing their business. However, when he saw Su Ziyang acting as if nothing had happened, he assumed that the group had taken his money but hadn't done anything, and had tricked him.

Fu Xinyu cursed his mother for several days because of this!

"Have you always been this brave?" Su Ziyang scratched his head and stood up from his seat.

Su Ziyang scratched his head because he thought Fu Xinyu was being silly, but Fu Xinyu felt that Su Ziyang was provoking him by scratching his head.

"Grass!"

As the curses raged Fu Xinyu lunged forward to grab Fu Xinyu by the collar, but as soon as Fu Xinyu reached out, Su Ziyang slapped Fu Xinyu's hand directly onto the back of his hand.

"Smack, plop!"

Su Ziyang used internal force when he slapped the target, so the sound wasn't crisp; instead, it was somewhat muffled!

Even the best temper can't tolerate this kind of mad dog.

Su Ziyang

He got really angry!

When people fight, the surge of adrenaline can alleviate pain.

So Fu Xinyu didn't really feel that Su Ziyang hurt that much. Fu Xinyu just felt that his hand had been blocked, which made him lose face!

"Hey kid! Do you dare go outside to the small square? Do you dare?!"

Fu Xinyu pointed at Su Ziyang with his red and swollen finger, which Su Ziyang had slapped, and continued to curse.

Su Ziyang checked his phone; it was time to leave work.

So he took off his white coat and waved to Fu Xinyu!

"You little rascal! I'll show you why flowers are so red!"

Fu Xinyu muttered curses through gritted teeth as he walked.

Su Ziyang followed behind Fu Xinyu with a smile.
