Chapter 19 Taking Action

Seeing that Xia Xue was safe and sound, Xia Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said lazily.

"Xiaoxue is here. Things here will be finished soon. You can go out first, and we'll go back together later."

Xia Xue ignored Xia Yao's words, walked straight to Xia Yao's side and sat down, placing her fingers on Xia Yao's wrist.

Xia Yao instinctively tried to dodge, but Xia Xue grabbed her and held her down.

"Don't move."

Xia Yao raised an eyebrow.

"You can also take a pulse?"

Xia Xue looked up and examined Xia Yao's face and eyes. Then, while Xia Yao was speaking, she glanced at her tongue and moved her finger away, saying, "I know a lot of things."

Xia Yao said with great interest, "There is no record of you studying medicine in your file."

As Xia Xue opened her handbag, she said without turning her head, "I told you not to trust that information. Judgments based on it are not necessarily accurate, but you still didn't listen."

Xia Yao watched as Xia Xue took out a box from inside.

Hearing Xia Xue mutter softly, "Luckily, I ordered a box of silver needles online yesterday, otherwise this would have been a real problem."

As he spoke, he opened the box, took out a silver needle, and prepared to administer acupuncture to Xia Yao.

Xia Yao watched quietly with great interest from beginning to end.

There wasn't a trace of anxiety on his face.

Xia Yao wasn't in a hurry, but Shen Yan was.

"Miss Xue, I've already called an ambulance, and the doctor will be here soon. Should we wait a bit...?"

Xia Xue glanced at Shen Yan and said, "This medicine isn't an ordinary aphrodisiac. If it's not treated promptly, it might leave irreversible hidden damage. Can you really take responsibility for your decision?"

With just one sentence, Shen Yan was put on hold.

She was caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to agree or disagree.

They were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

Seeing Xia Yao's expression, as if she couldn't wait to see her make a fool of herself.

Xia Yao is out of the question.

Shen Yan could only look to Ruan Ling for help.

Ruan Ling frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "Please forgive me, Miss Xia Xue, but I cannot take the risk."

Faced with the uncertainty surrounding Xia Xue and the certainty offered by the doctor, Ruan Ling chose the certainty.

Even at the cost, Xia Yao's body suffered irreversible internal injuries.

She is willing to accept the consequences and pay the corresponding price.

Xia Xue sneered, glanced at Ruan Ling, and said, "When did it become your place to make decisions about my affairs?"

He then proceeded to administer acupuncture to Xia Yao, disregarding everyone's opinions.

A cold glint flashed in Ruan Ling's eyes.

"Aunt Sun!"

The middle-aged woman who had been guarding Ruan Ling immediately understood. She flashed to Xia Xue's side and struck out with a palm, hitting Xia Xue's arm directly.

Xia Yao caught a glimpse of this scene, her expression changed, and she quickly spoke up to stop it.

"Ruan Ling, how dare you!"

Aunt Sun moved too quickly.

The bodyguards didn't react until Aunt Sun's hand was about to hit Xia Xue.

But at that moment, there was nothing they could do.

The only thing to do is to speak up and stop it.

"stop!"

Xia Xue turned her head and glanced at Aunt Sun, her eyes cold and domineering.

"presumptuous!"

The left hand, which wasn't holding the needle, struck first, landing a palm strike on the opponent's hand.

With a "bang".

A surge of energy rose between the two.

Then, as if she had been hit by a truck, Aunt Sun's feet left the ground, and she flew backward, crashing heavily against the wall with a "bang".

The wall caved in, creating cracks, and Aunt Sun was right in the center of the depression.

She stared in shock at Xia Xue, who sat motionless on the sofa, coughed up blood, and exclaimed, "You, what realm are you at?"

Ruan Ling was also stunned when she saw this scene.

"Aunt Sun has never failed in her duty since she started protecting me, how could this be?"

Xia Yao looked at Xia Xue with equal shock, her eyes filled with unfamiliarity, as if she were seeing this newly recognized younger sister for the first time.

Shen Yan and her bodyguard were both stunned and stood there.

For a moment, they couldn't believe that what they were seeing was real.

Seeing Xia Xue seemingly unfazed as she raised the silver needles, about to insert them, Ruan Ling's expression changed. Without thinking, she shouted, "Stop!"

The two bodyguards behind Ruan Ling immediately swung out their batons.

Xia Yao's two bodyguards immediately reacted, raising their hands and drawing their military knives.

The two sides are locked in a standoff, and a battle is imminent.

Just then, the door slowly opened from the outside, and before anyone was seen, their voice was heard.

"When did it become the Ruan family's business to interfere in the affairs of my Xia family?"

Xia Jue strode into the room with a tiger-like gait.

She glared at everyone with her phoenix eyes, and everyone instinctively avoided her gaze.

Ruan Ling quickly explained, "Sister Jue, that's not what I meant. I did it to protect Yao Yao. After all, Xia Xue doesn't have a medical license, and she doesn't have any previous successful cases. We have no way of judging her medical skills. It would be too irresponsible to entrust Yao Yao to Xia Xue for treatment, so that's why I..."

Xia Jue nodded to Ruan Ling, walked to the sofa where the two were sitting, glanced at Xia Yao's expression, frowned slightly, and turned to stare into Xia Xue's eyes, asking, "Are you confident?"

Xia Xue chuckled softly.

"100%".

Xia Jue laughed and said, "Good, as expected of a daughter of the Xia family. Since you are confident, then you can treat her."

Ruan Ling said anxiously, "Sister Jue..."

Before Ruan Ling could finish speaking, Xia Jue raised his hand to stop her, silencing her.

"With me, Xia Jue, here, there's no need for you to take responsibility."

In one sentence, Ruan Ling's biggest worry was dispelled.

Xia Jue asked Xia Xue, "Should we clear the area?"

Xia Xue casually waved her hand and said, "No need."

It was as if this was a very small matter to her.

Xia Jue raised an eyebrow.

She had only ever seen such an expression and such demeanor in masters of various industries.

"In that case, you may begin administering acupuncture. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. This time, no one will disturb you."

Xia Yao's interest grew even stronger.

It felt like the person receiving the acupuncture wasn't themselves.

He stared at Xia Xue with eyes full of curiosity and inquiry.

They are unwilling to overlook any detail.

"Do you need to take your clothes off?"

Xia Yao asked with a smile.

Xia Xue looked up and glanced at Xia Yao.

"You still have the nerve to joke around? That takes real willpower!"

He shook his head as he spoke.

"No need, it's nothing serious."

After saying that, he had already stuck the needle into Xia Yao's body.

With so many eyes watching, not a single person could clearly see Xia Xue's acupuncture procedure.

Xia Yao felt it for a moment and exclaimed in surprise, "It really seems to have relieved a lot!"

Xia Xue's hand flashed, and she took out another silver needle.

"The first one is the most effective; the effect is noticeable and normal."

Xia Xue casually offered an explanation, then her hands created a series of afterimages as silver needles pierced Xia Yao's body.

Xia Yao's face gradually changed from an abnormal flush to a normal rosy color.

"call."

Xia Xue finished her needlework.

"alright."

He then picked up a pen from the coffee table, casually wrote a prescription on a sticky note, and handed it to Shen Yan, saying, "Get the medicine according to the prescription, boil three bowls of water down to one bowl, drink it, take a nap, and you'll be fine."

Shen Yan took the prescription with a blank expression, looking at Xia Xue as if she were looking at an alien.

Is this still the Xia Xue she knows?

Could it be someone impersonating me?

Could it be that I've been possessed by aliens?

This world is just too magical.

"I need to take more medicine? I feel fine now."

Upon hearing that she had to drink Chinese medicine, Xia Yao's dead memories began to surface, and she reluctantly muttered, "Can I not drink it?"

Listen to the doctor and take your medicine properly.

Xia Jue's words silenced Xia Yao.

Extinguish all her little schemes.
