Chapter 420: Chapter 420: A miss by an inch is a miss by a thousand miles!

With a focused expression, Mabel Hodge flipped her right hand, and the first silver needle steadily stabbed into the old man’s acupoint in the forehead!

Faint blue light shimmered on the silver needle!

"My God, Miss Hodge’s acupuncture skills are amazing, the needles even shimmer with light when she uses them!"

"As expected from the little miracle doctor, it’s truly a fairy hand skill!"

The audience was amazed one after another.

Upon seeing this, Lionel Yeager’s face changed slightly, and he couldn’t help but exclaim, "Are these the ’Qingnang Magic Needles’?!"

"Oh?"

Malcolm Hodge raised his head to look at Lionel Yeager and asked curiously, "Little brother, do you know the ’Qingnang Magic Needles’ as well?"

Mabel Hodge snorted dismissively, "Grandfather, the ’Qingnang Magic Needles’ are your signature technique, and many people in Kyoto know about it.

It’s not surprising that this kid knows about it."

Malcolm Hodge nodded and felt that it made sense, so he didn’t ask any more questions.

Of course, Lionel Yeager didn’t say much either.

However, he was curious.

Not long ago, he completed the "Qingnang Magic Needles" at the Hall of Divine Hands.

But now, he saw this woman using the "Qingnang Magic Needles" again.

Could it be that this grandfather and granddaughter pair have a connection to the Hall of Divine Hands?

If that’s really the case, it would be too coincidental, wouldn’t it?

Just as Lionel Yeager was pondering.

Mabel Hodge had already stabbed the second silver needle.

This second needle pierced the old man’s Fengfu acupoint on the head.

However, after seeing the woman drop the needle.

Lionel Yeager looked at it, frowned, and said, "That’s wrong!"

Mabel Hodge was instantly annoyed.

She angrily said, "Kid, can you stop messing around? How is it wrong? Are you the one doing the acupuncture or am I?"

"Kid, Miss Hodge is a little miracle doctor and the heir of Doctor Hodge, how can you say she’s wrong?"

"That’s right, kid, just watch quietly and don’t cause trouble!"

Everyone in the audience scolded him, and their gazes towards Lionel Yeager were very dissatisfied.

Malcolm Hodge also frowned slightly and asked, "Young man, tell me, what’s wrong?"

Lionel Yeager directly said, "The depth of this second needle should be 0.8 inches, but Miss Hodge’s depth is 0.3 inches less, so it’s wrong!"

Upon hearing Lionel Yeager’s words, Malcolm Hodge turned his head and stared carefully at the second needle Mabel Hodge had stabbed.

Mabel Hodge was even more furious, "Kid, don’t think that just because you know the ’Qingnang Magic Needles’ that you know everything!

My grandfather has spent a lifetime researching the ’Qingnang Magic Needles’ and still hasn’t fully understood it, so what do you know?

You dare to say I did it wrong!"

Before the words fell!

Malcolm Hodge suddenly spoke, "Mabel, do as he said, increase the depth by 0.3 inches!"

"Grandfather, you really believe this kid?"

Mabel Hodge pouted, obviously unhappy.

"Do as he said!"

Malcolm Hodge’s expression was serious, and he spoke again.

The audience was also puzzled.

Could this kid really be right?

Did Miss Hodge actually make a mistake?

"Oh..."

Mabel Hodge didn’t dare to go against her grandfather’s wishes, so she could only reluctantly increase the depth of the second silver needle by 0.3 inches.

Afterward, Mabel Hodge pinched another silver needle and stabbed it into the old man’s face at the Yamen acupoint!

However, after Mabel Hodge stabbed the third silver needle, Lionel Yeager spoke again, "Wrong, still wrong!"

"You!"

Mabel Hodge was on the verge of going crazy, "Kid, when will you stop? How is it wrong again?"

Lionel Yeager sighed and said, "Miss, you stabbed 0.3 inches too little for the second needle just now, but you stabbed 0.1 inches too much for this third needle, so of course it’s wrong!"

Mabel Hodge huffed angrily, "Grandfather, he’s clearly just deliberately causing trouble! I’m not mistaken at all!"

However, Malcom Hodge remained silent, staring intently at the third needle Mabel Hodge had inserted.

"Kid, Miss Hodge might have made one mistake, but how could she possibly make two in a row? You must be looking for trouble on purpose!"

"Kid, you better apologize to Miss Hodge now!"

At this point, everyone also felt that Lionel Yeager was deliberately causing trouble.

Lionel Yeager said indifferently: "It’s obviously her mistake, so why should I apologize?"

Mabel Hodge stared at Lionel Yeager, shouting, "I didn’t make a mistake. You must apologize to me!"

"Adrienne, you really did make a mistake. Do as this young man says."

Malcom Hodge sighed and said.

"Grandfather, did I really make a mistake?"

Mabel Hodge still didn’t quite believe it.

But since even her grandfather said so, she had no choice but to believe.

"Yes."

Malcom Hodge nodded his head.

Mabel Hodge had no choice but to reduce the depth of the third silver needle by 0.1 inches, as Lionel Yeager suggested.

After that, Mabel Hodge inserted two more needles before withdrawing her hand.

Lionel Yeager looked at the last two needles and finally nodded in satisfaction.

Only a few minutes had passed after the acupuncture was finished.

"Cough, cough..."

Accompanied by a cough, the old man slowly opened his eyes.

"He’s awake, the old man is finally awake!"

"Miss Hodge really is a divine doctor. It took only five needles to save the old man!"

"However, that kid is also quite impressive, pointing out two consecutive mistakes by Miss Hodge!"

The whole audience was amazed.

Everyone looked at Mabel Hodge with admiration, and also gave Lionel Yeager a high look.

"Thank you, Miss Hodge, thank you, Doctor Hodge!"

The middle-aged man was extremely excited, and kept thanking Malcom Hodge and Mabel Hodge.

Mabel Hodge’s face was full of proud smiles, her head held even higher.

But Malcom Hodge shook his head and said, "Sir, the person you should thank is not us, but this young man here!"

"Grandfather, I was the one who cured the old man, so why should he be thanked?"

Mabel Hodge became increasingly dissatisfied with Lionel Yeager.

This guy had been picking on her and stealing her thunder.

Malcom Hodge said solemnly, "Adrienne, if it weren’t for this young man pointing out your mistakes, you wouldn’t have been able to cure the old man. Instead, you would have made his condition worsen!"

Upon hearing this,

everyone was shocked.

It was obvious that no one had expected the two errors Lionel Yeager had pointed out to be so important!

The middle-aged man hurriedly bowed to Lionel Yeager and said, "Young man, thank you, thank you so much!

Please give me your account number, and I will pay you immediately!"

As he said this, he took out his mobile phone, ready to transfer the money.

Lionel Yeager waved his hand and said, "Sir, there’s no need for money. I was just passing by and helped a little."

Hearing Lionel Yeager’s words, Malcom Hodge’s eyes were filled with admiration.

He looked at Lionel Yeager and asked earnestly, "Young man, I didn’t even notice my granddaughter’s mistake at first, but how did you see it?"

Lionel Yeager replied, "Old Mister, in my opinion, the depth of acupuncture needles is related to acupoints, the patient’s age, physical condition, illness, body part, and so on.

The depth of each needle cannot be generalized. One must strictly control the angle, direction, and depth of insertion, or else the patient will be in danger, even threatening their life.

Studying traditional medicine requires constant improvement and cannot be careless.

As the saying goes, a small mistake can lead to a great error, that’s what it means.

I was just a little more careful and paid attention to these details, which is why I could see it."

"A small mistake can lead to a great error!

Well said, well said!"

Malcom Hodge’s eyes sparkled as he looked at Lionel Yeager with even more admiration.
