Chapter 1448: Absolute Obedience

Chapter 1448: Chapter 1448: Absolute Obedience

Not only does Wang Pingzhi refuse to trust Lin Tian, but also her two disciples maintain a deep hostility towards him.

However, given Wang Manzi’s status, the three of them can only obediently prepare the necessary herbs for Lin Tian.

Additionally, Lin Tian also noticed that Wang Shi is suffering from slightly severe anemia; the best method is a blood transfusion.

Wang Shi’s blood type is type A, which is easy to find a matching donor in the Wang Family. After the transfusion, Wang Shi’s complexion became a little rosier, but only slightly.

Although Hanxing Grass and Moon Eclipse Fruit are rare herbs, the Wang Family certainly has them in stock, making them easy to obtain, yet half an hour had passed and the trio was nowhere to be seen.

Seeing Lin Tian pacing back and forth, Wang Manzi thought Wang Shi’s condition might have taken a turn, causing Lin Tian to be anxious and worried.

In reality, Wang Manzi seriously misunderstood him. Lin Tian wasn’t anxious about Wang Shi’s condition, but rather concerned about the time, as who knows how much longer Wang Shi’s situation would drag on, potentially delaying tonight’s plans and consequently leading to serious repercussions!

If Lin Tian had known about Wang Shi’s condition sooner, it would have been better to come in two days. Now he’s stuck here and who knows if Wang Pingzhi is deliberately making things difficult.

"Mr. Lin, don’t worry, I’ve already sent people to urge Wang Pingzhi, she’ll be here soon. Please wait a moment," Wang Manzi said.

Lin Tian gave a dry laugh and said, "Mr. Wang, perhaps I should come back in a couple of days? Today, the Patriarch’s condition isn’t too good."

Such evasion brought a different taste to Wang Manzi’s ears, as he thought Lin Tian was disgusted by Wang Pingzhi’s attitude. How could he just let him leave like that?

Wang Manzi hurriedly said, "Mr. Lin, please wait a moment longer, you know our Patriarch’s condition; postponing for two more days would only worsen it. I implore you."

Lin Tian still wanted to push back when suddenly the door was pushed open. It was Wang Pingzhi’s female disciple, dressed in a white Wang Family robe, her hair tied in a ponytail with an expression, like her master’s, as if born incapable of smiling.

Upon seeing the tray in her hands, the Hanxing Grass was black, shaped like a chicken claw spread open, with leaves featuring specks resembling starlight. At this moment, the Hanxing Grass was soaking in water, its specks shimmering beautifully with the ripples.

And the Moon Eclipse Fruit, only the size of a fist, was peeled of its outer black hard shell revealing the flesh inside. Red like fire, after removing the seeds, it was ground into a liquid form, lightly roasted over a small fire until the juice nearly evaporated before it could be used as medicine.

"Ancestor, the medicinal master has already processed the herbs." She placed the tray on the table and was about to leave.

Wang Manzi gently nodded and then asked, "By the way, where’s your master?"

"Master, she..."

Lin Tian smiled, "She possibly doesn’t want to see me, at this moment quenching her anger."

The female disciple didn’t counter, which indicated Lin Tian was right.

"Ridiculous!"

Lin Tian continued to smile, "Go and call your master back, she doesn’t want to see me, but I insist on teasing her. Tell her to bring up the surgical tools."

The female disciple remained unmoved, evidently she and her master were in the same alliance, united against outsiders. Certainly wouldn’t obey this guy’s command.

Wang Manzi furiously glared at her, saying, "Go! Why are you standing there?"

The female disciple shuddered, softly acknowledging, then fled out as if escaping.

Once the person left, Lin Tian picked up the tray on the table. He observed the Hanxing Grass and Moon Eclipse Fruit meticulously. He had seen these herbs during his previous visit to the Alliance’s pharmaceutical warehouse, but this was the first time seeing them processed.

These two herbs have very distinctive properties, one cold and one hot. When Lin Tian placed his hand below the tray, he could feel two distinct temperatures.

Standing beside Lin Tian, Wang Manzi asked, "Mr. Lin, will surgery be needed later?"

Lin Tian, eyes fixed and unblinking on the herbs in the tray, nodded slightly, "It depends, perhaps necessary if the situation worsens."

Wang Manzi glanced at Lin Tian’s expression, then looked at Wang Shi lying on the bed, hands behind his back, heaved a deep sigh.

Lin Tian ignored Wang Manzi, focusing on draining the water from the Hanxing Grass, then promptly poured it all into the tray of Moon Eclipse Fruit. These two conflicting-herb properties started to ’fight’ before even entering the body, emitting ’fizzling’ sounds. It made Wang Manzi’s heart jump.

Crazy, crazy! Taking these two herbs together is like consuming arsenic!

Wang Manzi’s concern intensified one more degree.

Wang Pingzhi didn’t prepare surgical tools for Lin Tian because there was a surgery room on the first floor, fully equipped with all necessary instruments.

The location for treatment also shifted from Wang Shi’s ward to the surgery room. Before entering, Lin Tian disinfected and wore a sterile suit.

Wang Manzi joined Lin Tian, also wearing a sterile suit, entering the surgery room. He wasn’t there to assist, but to oversee.

Just like Wang Pingzhi, Wang Manzi’s trust in Lin Tian was limited, especially when using the Hanxing Grass and Moon Eclipse Fruit. Without personally overseeing, he would feel anxious.

But Wang Manzi’s medical skills only covered simple dressing and blood exchange. When it comes to acupuncture and surgery, he is utterly clueless. If Wang Pingzhi were present, he would feel more at ease.

When lifting Wang Shi onto the operating table, Lin Tian spoke to Wang Pingzhi, "Later, help me remove his clothes and the oxygen mask. We’ll avoid surgery unless absolutely necessary."

Wang Pingzhi quickly voiced her opposition, "Taking off clothes I can understand, but not the oxygen mask! Given the Patriarch’s current state, are you serious about removing it?"

Indeed, Wang Shi can’t do without it now; be aware he wore it all the way when transferred here. How could it be casually removed?

Lin Tian responded indifferently, "The acupoints near the oxygen mask, how can I needle through it?"

"But without the oxygen mask, the Patriarch can’t last long!"

Lin Tian nonchalantly replied, "Such a task, do you think I’d make such a foolish mistake? Or I wouldn’t be here. Plus, I must stress that I am the chief physician now, and you’re merely a nurse. My words must be listened to and followed. Or you leave, find someone else. Don’t obstruct."

Wang Pingzhi was truly infuriated, wanting to argue with Lin Tian, but the circumstance was inappropriate, so she could only let it go.

Wang Manzi also spoke, "Pingzhi, follow Mr. Lin’s instructions precisely. As long as it’s effective."

"Yes."
