Chapter 829: Chapter 826: The Mystery of Birth

The person who can teach the introductory Chapter of the Nine Needle Technique, no matter who hears about it, would think that this person is extraordinary. The Nine Needle Technique has such mysterious origins and miraculous effects, so can ordinary people master its introductory Chapter?

Lin Tian completely understood Dean Miao’s thoughts; even he sometimes had this notion that the grandpa wasn’t a simple person. But what he saw was that the grandpa was just an ordinary barefoot doctor, one who didn’t even have a medical license.

If grandpa wasn’t a simple person, would he still be at the mercy of doctors when he was gravely ill in the hospital? Moreover, in the end, he did pass away quietly. If he were extraordinary, would he have left this world so quietly and anonymously?

Until the very last moment of his life, it was only Lin Tian who stayed by grandpa’s side—there was no lover, no biological children, no friends, and certainly no important people to see him off.

"Mr. Miao, I can honestly tell you, the one who taught me massage technique was an old grandpa, who also adopted me. He was just a barefoot doctor, not some significant figure as you mentioned." Lin Tian said honestly.

"I see..." Dean Miao seemed a bit absent-minded, seemingly pondering something, and after a while he asked, "What was the elder’s full name?"

"Zhang Xueyi," Lin Tian replied.

"Zhang Xueyi?" Dean Miao repeated softly.

Lin Tian was a bit suspicious and asked, "Could it be that Mr. Miao knows him?"

"I know doctors with the surname Zhang, but I’ve never heard of a doctor called Zhang Xueyi." Dean Miao thought for a moment and replied.

"Grandpa himself might not even know the origins of the massage technique; perhaps it was all just a coincidence," Lin Tian said.

Dean Miao nodded and said, "Perhaps it really was a coincidence. By the way, have you ever asked about your own background?"

"Of course I have, and more than once. But every time, grandpa only said that I was picked up by the roadside. Over time, I gave up asking. To me, grandpa is my family, as for my parents, huh, maybe it’s destined by heaven for me to be a child without parents," Lin Tian said calmly.

"The Xiao Family is your home, we and mom are your family," Xiao Manxuan leaned close to Lin Tian and said softly.

"Junior brother, since you call me senior sister, do you think senior sister doesn’t exist?" Zi Yan said purposefully, pretending to be angry.

Lin Tian knew they were sincere. Previously, he indeed felt that besides grandpa and Fang Ming, he had no family in this world. But ever since he met these beautiful girls, he felt that he was not alone in the world anymore.

Kikuchi Mika said nothing, but her eyes said it all: I belong to Brother Lin forever. Even the nearby Zi Yan and Xiao Manxuan felt this from her gaze.

The two women didn’t know whether to be happy for Lin Tian or to reprimand him for capturing a lovely young girl just like that.

"Uh, let’s continue the free clinic, look how the line is almost reaching the city center," Lin Tian couldn’t handle the gaze of the three women and said deliberately.

The free clinic activity started again, and after the previous waves, Lin Tian’s line grew even longer. Whether they were sick or not, everyone wanted Lin Tian to take a look.

The students’ admiration for Lin Tian turned into reverence. In their hearts, Lin Tian was now equated with a Divine Doctor. There wasn’t a more compelling reason to come and see a handsome Divine Doctor.

Occasionally, when Lin Tian performed acupuncture on a sick student, it always drew a massive crowd, clearly interested not just in the acupuncture but also in the rhythmic, art-like needle technique.

However, the only thing Lin Tian couldn’t let go of was whether there were too many female students coming for treatment. He didn’t mind treating female patients; after all, they were more pleasing to the eye.

The awkward part was that he might end up earning a reputation as a "Gynecology Expert," which, while not a bad title, sounded a bit awkward.

The bustling situation continued until noon, and only when Dean Miao announced a break did the students begin to disperse and head to the cafeteria.

"Brother Lin, you better not sneak away this afternoon. Now you’re a major asset in the free clinic, treating more students alone than three doctors combined, and all of them get cured on the spot. If a genius like you doesn’t study medicine, it would waste your talent," Dean Miao said happily.

The other doctors looked at Lin Tian as if he were an alien; besides his excellent acupuncture skills, his stamina was unbelievable. He had been at it all morning without a mistake in technique, not even a slight misstep.

This young man, is he a robot? Or a perpetual motion machine? Many doctors thought so, but what they saw was a living, breathing human being, something that would forever remain a mystery to them.

The lunchtime arrangements were naturally handled by the school. Director Gao, being a very perceptive person, arranged for Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan to sit at Dean Miao’s table.

According to tradition, a figure like Dean Miao must be accompanied by the principal and school leaders, but Director Gao decided otherwise on his own. However, when Yan Dehui learned about it, he praised the flexibility of his actions.

For leaders obsessed with appearances, the biggest school leader must accompany them; otherwise, they would be displeased. There are many leaders who delight in such hollow titles.

But for a pragmatist like Dean Miao, playing such pretentious games would have the opposite effect.

Even as they ate, Lin Tian was pulled along by Dean Miao, and with Zi Yan watching him like a hawk, there was no chance for him to escape.

However, he thought to himself, perhaps there would be fewer people in the afternoon. After all, the afternoon sun would be too strong, and girls were very afraid of getting tanned.

But when he got to the playground in the afternoon, Lin Tian was taken aback. The number of people in line hadn’t decreased; it had increased, with even people from the cafeteria joining in, and not only that, even some teachers had joined the queue.

"Oh my, isn’t this a bit exaggerated?" Lin Tian exclaimed in surprise.

Xiao Manxuan, seeing his surprised look, seemed very pleased and couldn’t help but laugh, "Didn’t you know? This morning’s competition has spread throughout the entire campus; even the teachers know about it. Teachers are human too, and they can get sick as well. They’re coming because of your fame. You should be happy because you’ve already become a famous doctor."

"What famous doctor? I will always be the Second Miss’s bodyguard." Lin Tian leaned over to the little girl’s ear and joked, ending by gently blowing a puff of air.

The little girl’s ears were indeed very sensitive, just like the Miss’s. With Lin Tian’s breath, her body shivered slightly as if an electric current had gone through her, and her face flushed red.

"No... don’t... blow, it’s ticklish..." Xiao Manxuan said nervously, looking at Lin Tian with a gaze filled with rippling waves.

"Ahem... Junior brother, do you think you can act recklessly just because senior sister isn’t around?" Zi Yan’s voice came from behind.
