Chapter 5 - Wishful Thinking_1

"Yiyi, what happened to your face?"

Yang Yi noticed the distinct finger marks on Yiyi's cheeks; they weren't large, probably made by someone her age.

Yiyi covered her face, grinning with her small tiger teeth, and said, "Yiyi just fell down by accident."

"Tell me what happened, okay?"

Yiyi obviously didn't want to talk.

At that moment.

The voice of a kindergarten teacher came, "Today, a classmate said you are the mutt daughter of Yiyi's dog-breed dad, and Yiyi couldn't help arguing with him, which resulted in her getting slapped. We've already applied medicine to her."

"Don't you guys at the kindergarten manage these things at all!" Yang Yi nearly clenched his fist as he said these words.

No sooner had he spoken.

"So what if I hit her, who in this kindergarten doesn't know her dad is a dog breed? Is there anything wrong with me hitting the daughter of a dog breed?"

With that, the neatly dressed child said to the middle-aged upstart beside him, flanked by two bodyguards, "Dad, I didn't say anything wrong, did I?"

"Of course you didn't; for such a mutt, you could beat her to death, and your dad would take the fall for you."

This was simply unbearable!

Seeing Yiyi's curled-up figure, Yang Yi felt an unprecedented anger. In the past, he was injured and hadn't mastered his acupuncture, so he had to endure.

But now.

Yang Yi felt that if he endured today, it would certainly leave indelible psychological scars on Yiyi's childhood!

"Apologize to Yiyi!" Yang Yi took a step forward, his voice cold.

"You want me to apologize just because you're the son-in-law who's come into the Gu Family? Darling, do you want to see how daddy teaches someone a lesson?"

"I wanna see!"

The child clapped with glee, and the middle-aged upstart couldn't help but look smug.

This scene made the teachers shake their heads; with such a father, they truly worried about the child's future growth.

"You mutt, get down on the ground!"

Relying on his strong physique and the two bodyguards behind him, the upstart struck hard, aiming straight for Yang Yi's face.

Yang Yi dodged.

He quietly pulled out the silver needles he had brought from the hospital from his pocket.

Medical skills could heal or kill; the art of acupuncture was the same, capable of saving or taking lives!

Having inherited the legacy of the Medical Immortal, Yang Yi was well aware of the impact of all the acupuncture points on the human body.

He flicked his fingers.

He shot two silver needles at the unique acupuncture points on the upstart, watching as the man, despite exerting all his strength, was unable to move; Yang Yi looked at him coldly.

"What have you done to me? What are you guys standing around for, kill him!" the upstart roared in rage, his face ashen.

"I'd advise you not to move."

Yang Yi said indifferently, "If you don't believe me, look at this pig. See, his eyes and nose are bleeding, right? Once his ears also bleed, you're out of a job."

The bodyguards then saw the upstart shaking all over, his eyes filled with terror and pleas for mercy.

"I'll give you one chance, kneel down and apologize to her."

"I'll kneel, I'll kneel, just don't kill me!"

The upstart was scared, and Yang Yi timely released one of the acupoints.

Not caring about losing face, the upstart knelt down in front of the entire kindergarten and apologized to Yiyi.

Yang Yi quietly withdrew the other needle.

He whispered in the upstart's ear, "Teach your son better in the future, or else start planning for a second child."

The upstart knew Yang Yi was serious.

Because just then, he had felt how close death was to him.

"I will definitely discipline this little bastard, please just spare me!"

The upstart knocked his head hard on the ground.

"Stay kneeling for five more minutes."

Yang Yi pulled open the car door, picked up Yiyi, and got into the car.

Clap, clap, clap!

Applause came from behind.

The children exclaimed in awe, "Wow, Gu Yiyi's driver is so awesome!"

"Could it be someone from the movies, a top-notch master?"

"Everyone go back!"

The kindergarten teachers hurriedly shooed the children away, not seeing the upstart spit out blood as his back was to them.

"Dad, are you alright?"

The child's eyes widened as he looked at the nouveau riche, naturally oblivious to the fact that because of him, his father had just had a brush with death.

"You little rascal, you almost killed your old dad. Don't mess with Gu Yiyi again. Our family can't afford to offend them; no, I'm going to transfer you to another school right now."

At that moment.

Yang Yi was driving.

Being watched with eyes full of admiration and worship, Yang Yi could only helplessly say, "If you don't look at the KFC by the road, you'll miss it, and then you won't get to eat today."

Each time they drove by, Yiyi would excitedly point at KFC, and Yang Yi would take Yiyi to have a meal in secret with the money saved from grocery shopping.

And just earlier.

His wife had given him a thousand yuan to buy some nice clothes for himself, but Yang Yi only wanted to buy clothes for Yiyi.

"Yiyi isn't hungry, daddy, you were just so cool."

Crash!

The car almost came to an abrupt stop at the side of the road.

Yang Yi looked at Yiyi in disbelief: "What did you just call me?"

"Hee hee, I'm not going to tell you."

Yiyi giggled.

But to Yang Yi, that one word 'daddy' seemed to have finally loosened the shackles of the Medical Immortal inheritance that bound him.

"So this is the fourth needle, Guardian Needle."

The Guardian Needle, also known as the Guardian Needle.

Yang Yi had never been able to understand the mystery of this needle, but after he resolved to protect Yiyi heart and soul, and heard Yiyi call him daddy, he felt all the indignities he had suffered over three years were worth it.

The fourth needle was naturally also broken through.

At the same time.

Yang Yi discovered a whirl of qi in his body after breaking through the fourth needle.

Yang Yi chuckled with joy in his heart: "Could this be 'qi'?"

In ancient times, qi was also known as inner strength.

It is the very thing that can kill people, and acupuncture also requires the use of qi, to break through points.

"No wonder it's called the Guardian Needle."

"How can one talk about protection without strength?"

"From today onward, I, Yang Yi, no longer need to yield!"

After buying groceries at the market.

He was back home twenty minutes late, and for once his mother-in-law didn't scold him, and that's when Yang Yi realized that there were guests at home.

"Auntie, I came back to the country mainly for two reasons."

"One is to fulfill my promise to Qing Ya made years ago, to promote Chinese medicine. The other is…"

"I want to marry Qing Ya!"

His mother-in-law, Zhang Ting, rarely showed an expression of difficulty.

"Shi Hao, it's not that Auntie refuses you, but Qing Ya is already married and has a child during the years you weren't here."

"I don't mind!"

The visitor stood up from the sofa.

Tall and handsome, exuding a spirited air, even if Yang Yi didn't want to admit it, if he were Qing Ya, he wouldn't refuse such a man's proposal either.

It turned out that he had driven away a Zeng Yang only to have a Tang Shihao appear.

"I have known about this for a long time. I also know that Qing Ya was forced to accept this marriage. I've come back today to rescue her!"

—Reluctant!

The four words reflected the most genuine voice inside Gu Qingya's heart.

Yang Yi's diligent effort at home had all been seen by Gu Qingya; although she resented the humiliation Yang Yi suffered for having no money and no influence, she gradually accepted Yang Yi's presence.

But Gu Qingya never expected Tang Shihao, whom she hadn't contacted for over two years, to return from abroad and want to marry her.

But now, she already had a sense of home, especially over the past month when she discovered that Yang Yi was not worthless.

He possessed a profound medical skill that she couldn't comprehend; her desire to truly understand Yang Yi's past grew even stronger.

Now she didn't know what to do, so she sat in the living room without uttering a word.

However, her mother-in-law Zhang Ting spoke up.

"Shi Hao, Auntie is afraid she cannot agree to this matter."

With that, the mother-in-law cast her gaze upon Gu Qingya.
