"You what?" Senior Liu got agitated for a moment of what he heard. He could not possibly believe what this young man said.

In fact, even Zin Shi was shocked. What was Jin Rou thinking? Does he know what type of mess he is into now? — She asked inside her heart. She was already preparing for some words to back Jin Rou up in case worse comes to worst. But to tell that he could cure the Lunaite Disease which could not be cured by the people of this world? That\'s a big proclamation there.

"I said I can cure the little boy." Jin Rou repeated.

"That\'s a big claim you have there, Little Friend." Senior Liu was now irritated, "Did you come from the mountain, secluded for thousands of years? The Lunaite Disease, which this little boy has, had yet to have a cure. At least, not for now."

"Not because you guys cannot mean no one cannot." Jin Rou said, "As I have said, I can cure the boy."

"Boy, do you know that what you said is an insult to our guild?" Senior Liu said, annoyed, "It seems like you\'re saying right in our place that we are incompetent since you said you can cure this disease while our guild cannot."

"Well, I can\'t say about the guild." Jin Rou shrugged his shoulders, "But at least, I know you are incompetent."

"Audacious!" Senior Liu\'s body trembled in anger as veins bulged. He did not expect that this young man would not respect him even in his territory! No one had ever offended him in such a way. This time, he was looking at Jin Rou as if he was carving the face of this young man in his mind with murderous intention. If this place was not the Physician Guild, he would have thought this man a lesson!

"Young man... you said that you can save my son?" Feeling desperate, the woman asked in a tone of joy when she heard the words of the young man. As long as there was a little hope that his son could be saved, it was all she needed. She was willing to pay the price even if it was a failure.

"Yes." Jin Rou responded, "But do you trust me that I can save your son?"

"Don\'t trust him, Ma\'am." Senior Liu intervened, "You don\'t know what will happen if you let him touch your son! Your son might not survive for days and die today instead!"

"Shut up! You can\'t even save my son or anyone from your guild! What is your say here?" The woman shouted. For some unknown reason, she could feel an assurance coming from Jin Rou and involuntarily believed his words.

This scene caused the bystanders to find it weird. After all, Senior Liu\'s words were heavier than the claims of the young man. Just think about it, the Physician Guild can\'t even find a cure for this disease. Yet a young man that popped out of nowhere could? That\'s pretty illogical. Even Zin Shi wavered whether she would help Jin Rou get out of this or not. She even did not know if she could get out of this mess once she barged in, even with the help of her master.

Jin Rou did not mind what others were saying. After all, they did not who he really was. He walked towards the little boy who was in pain and said, "Amazing, little guy. You know that your disease causes a painful reaction yet you are not crying. Really, that\'s pretty amazing of you." Just think about it, the pain the disease gave its victim was like thousand swords hacking you. For a little boy of such a very young age, he could already bear this just not to add burden and misery to her mother, wasn\'t it amazing?

This was also part of the reason why Jin Rou wanted to cure his disease. Because he was strong, at least mentally.

"I will cure you now, so you don\'t have to worry. Just trust me with this." Jin Rou assured the little boy. He then looked at Zin Shi who was as if daydreaming and said, "Zin Shi, lend me a needle."

"Ah?" Zin Shi was pulled back into her reality when she heard her name.

"I said, lend me a needle." Jin Rou repeated.

"Ah! Right right, comi—" Zin Shi was interrupted by Senior Liu saying, "Are you sure you want to lend him, Little Zin? Just let me remind you that once you do it and something happened that worsen the condition of the child, you will also take responsibility as you are involved."

Zin Shi\'s steps came into pause as she heard these words that made her tremble. This was a fact that once she did, she could never return again. What if Jin Rou pull her down with him? The guild would probably abandon her as her clan did. Her thoughts were fighting of what she should do. What\'s the right thing to do?

"You\'ll be okay, I assure you that." Jin Rou said when he saw that Zin Shi was hesitating. He understood her situation because after all, who would dare to bet on someone you don\'t fully know?

After a minute of thinking, she gritted her teeth and gave a box of needles to Jin Rou. She did not know why but her guts told her to bet on Jin Rou. Whatever happened after this, she would not regret her decision.

"How foolish." Senior Liu harrumphed in disdain, shaking his head.

"You are the one who\'s foolish." Jin Rou answered, "Let me open your ignorant eyes."

Whooosh!

Jin Rou picked a small needle and circulated a tiny bit of his essence qi to control the needle. After which, he pierced it right into the little boy\'s forehead. Soon, the little boy convulsed violently which made her mother in a panic.

"Ignorant! That is an acupoint that you should have not touched! Are you trying to kill him?" Senior Liu said in a concerned expression but happy in his heart. This man was seeking his own demise, really.

"What\'s happening with my son? What did you do?!" The woman got agitated and shook Jin Rou several times. Judging from the reaction of her son, it seemed that he was about to die at any moment.

Zin Shi, who bet on Jin Rou, got a pale expression as she realized what would happen to her now. Just when she was about to lose all hope, Jin Rou said with a confident voice,

"Rest assured. Nothing will happen to your son."

"What nothing will happen? Idiot. Look at what you—" Just when Senior Liu wanted to rub the wound by salt, the little boy stopped convulsing suddenly and relaxed. The red marks were disappearing little by little as he regained the rosy color of his innocent face. Red smokes were coming out of his body as if it was being evaporated. His breathing went normal and was sleeping soundly as if he had no disease, to begin with.
