“Ding! Detected a Heavenly Fate Great Villain action. Options enabled.”
“Option One: With a benevolent heart, immediately step forward to treat him. Reward: Lin Qifan’s favorability -1000, Wu Xuanhu’s favorability +10.”
“Option Two: Watch from the sidelines and let Lin Qifan win the beauty. Reward: Title 【Generous Great Villain】 (Luck Value -1000).”

Jiang Yu: “Why is there no sword again?! ＼(`Δ´)／”
But jokes aside, he still had to choose an option.
“I choose Three!”
… …
“I’ll do it!”
A person with a queue braid and a defiant look on his face darted out from the crowd.
Someone immediately recognized his identity.
“It’s Bai Wutao from the Bai family!”
“The Bai family? Which Bai family?”
“The Bai family from Hu City, of course. I heard they are a venerable family with over a century of history. During the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, they were one of the Han Eight Banners who followed Huang Taiji into the pass. Although they fled to Japan during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, their foundation remained profound after returning to the country. Moreover, there seems to be a late-stage Earth-tier martial artist in their family.”
“Ah? Are they Tar…”
“Shh! Are you trying to get yourself killed? They are most taboo about anyone saying those two words. Be careful, they might send someone after you. Quickly shut your mouth.”
Everyone immediately fell silent. Several people who had initially wanted to go up immediately wilted when they saw Bai Wutao.
It wasn’t because they feared the power behind the Bai family.
Rather, Bai Wutao himself was the most skilled physician among the new generation. It was said that he could project internal energy for thirty seconds without it dissipating. Naturally, no one would humiliate themselves by going up to solo against Bai Wutao.
At this moment, however, one person, unafraid of ridicule, stepped forward.
Lin Qifan!
Uncle Huang, the chubby Uncle Huang who was eating, broke out in a cold sweat when he saw Lin Qifan go up.
“Lin Qifan! What are you doing? Is that a place for a small security guard like you to be? Get down here, quickly!”
Uncle Huang roared, glaring fiercely at Lin Qifan.
Lin Qifan frowned, “You fatso, I’ve tolerated you for too long. Shut up!”
“What did you say?!”
Uncle Huang was so enraged that he clutched his chest, “Rebellion! Utter rebellion! A mere security guard dares to usurp his master!”
The surrounding guests pointed and whispered.
“Tsk… Where did this security guard come from? He looks so poor all over. Did he take a wrong turn?”
“There’s a good show to watch. I wonder which greenhorn it is, daring to compete with Bai Wutao from the Bai family. Isn’t he afraid of death?”
“Most likely a physician from some remote mountain village, not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth, thinking he can contend with a god after learning a bit of superficial knowledge.”
The crowd’s mockery did not shake Lin Qifan’s resolve, nor did their accusations change his original intention.
—He wanted to pick up girls and show off!
“Heh heh, kid, when you’re out and about, you need to talk about strength and influence. Where did you learn your skills from? Tell me.” Bai Wutao gave a professional fake smile, his eyes revealing a strong killing intent.
To dare to steal his thunder, this kid must not be allowed to live!
Jiang Yu shook his head and sighed from the side.
He had originally thought that with the 【Intelligence-Reducing Aura】 gone, everyone would at least have normal intelligence.
Now it seemed that his junior, this second volume villain who died in chapter 241, didn’t seem to have much intelligence to begin with.
Lin Qifan curved his lips into a wicked smile, “No sect, no master!”
Then, his gaze fell upon Wu Yier, and he murmured in a magnetic voice:
“Yier, wait for me.”
Wu Yier, standing on the stage, shivered and looked around, always feeling a pair of malicious eyes watching her.
“Heh heh, good, good, good. Kid, I’ll show you the gap between us right now, what it means to be crushed by strength!”
Bai Wutao was furious. A mere greenhorn with no sect or master dared to provoke him? It was like turning on a light in a toilet—seeking death!
After speaking, Bai Wutao clasped his hands together, and seven silver needles actually flew out from the cloth bag hanging at his waist.
“Controlling needles with Qi! He can actually control needles with Qi!”
“As expected of the Bai family’s most promising genius, he effortlessly accomplished something we cannot.”
“That kid is finished. Once he uses needle control with Qi, no one can rival him.”
Five silver needles pierced into different acupoints of the Xiao family head. The tails of the needles trembled slightly, and internal energy flowed along the needles into his meridians, clearing the fire evil along the way like autumn winds sweeping fallen leaves.
A glint flashed in Bai Wutao’s eyes.
Suddenly, his brows furrowed, and the speed at which he infused internal energy slowed down.
A mass of fire evil was wrapped around the seventh vertebra of the spine, deeply embedded in the nerves and intricately intertwined, making it extremely troublesome. If not handled properly, it could lead to paralysis in mild cases and complete paralysis in severe cases!
“Damn it…” Bai Wutao was sweating profusely.
Upon seeing this, Lin Qifan immediately spoke arrogantly to mock him: “Oh, oh, oh, what’s wrong? Can’t do it? I think you should just go back home and plant sweet potatoes. Don’t bring out your pathetic skills to embarrass yourself!”
Bai Wutao’s face was incredibly gloomy, his eyes revealing a fierce light. After a moment of hesitation, he immediately showed a ferocious expression.
“Never mind, charge!”
At this moment, an aged hand gripped his wrist. Wu, Master of National Medicine, had appeared beside Bai Wutao at some point, shaking his head in disappointment.
“No medical ethics. You are eliminated.”
“What? Wait a minute…”
Bai Wutao still wanted to say something, but several fierce Earth-tier bodyguards immediately surrounded him, clearly not intending to let him continue speaking.
“You… Good, good, good! I’d like to see who else can cure him without me!”
Under pressure, Bai Wutao, with a gloomy face, flicked his queue braid and strode back to his seat.
“Little brother, you go ahead.”
Wu, Master of National Medicine chuckled, his benevolent gaze falling on Lin Qifan’s face.
Those who study medicine usually know a bit about physiognomy. He didn’t know why, but even though the young man looked ordinary, he felt a sense of “cherishing talent.”
Besides, what harm was there in letting him try? He himself was once a barefoot doctor looked down upon by others, and now he hadn’t he become a Master of National Medicine?
Lin Qifan gave a wicked smile, “It should have been like this long ago.”
Wu, Master of National Medicine was stunned and fell silent.
Good kid, arrogant!
The Xiao family head cupped his hands towards Lin Qifan and said, “Please, physician, save me.”
Lin Qifan said nothing, merely snapped his fingers.
A slender silver needle flew out of his pocket, glinting with a cold light.
The crowd gasped again, disbelieving, their eyes wide with shock.
The silver needle flew out and pierced into the seventh vertebra of the Xiao family head’s spine.
“Watch closely, this is how you use needle control with Qi. I told you you were trash, but you wouldn’t admit it, heh heh.”
Lin Qifan wasn’t in a hurry to save him, but instead mocked Bai Wutao again.
At the same time, he gave Jiang Yu, who was watching the show, a provocative look, and said lightly:
“And some people, relying on their wealth, are arrogant and conceited, heh heh, little do they know they only have money left.”
Jiang Yu: Is this a laugh challenge? Interesting ^_^ (Chew chew chew~)
“Heh, nonsensical.”
Lin Qifan didn’t bother to give Jiang Yu any more expressions, taking a deep breath.
He infused spiritual energy into the silver needle, sending it into the Xiao family head’s meridians.
“Ah ah ah!”
The moment the spiritual energy entered his body, the Xiao family head let out a shrill scream.
Then he lay on the ground, stiff.
Wu Xuanhu’s smile froze, and he stood rooted to the spot, as if disheveled by the wind.
Wu Yier immediately rushed down, placing her fingertips on his pulse, her face draining of color.
“Par… paralyzed!”
