Chapter 90 Liu Qingxuan, caught in a dilemma
"Grandpa!" Zheng Zangfeng's grandson, Zheng Yuxuan, paled and rushed over to support him, his voice trembling with tears.
"Grandpa! Wake up! Don't scare me!"
"Call a doctor immediately!!"
"What's wrong with Chairman Zheng? He was perfectly fine just now!"
The entire scene instantly descended into chaos, and Zheng Zangfeng's personal doctor rushed over in a panic, carrying a first-aid kit.
He knelt down and frantically examined Zheng Zangfeng, listening to his heartbeat and checking his blood pressure. But the more he examined him, the paler his face became. Finally, he raised his head, covered in sweat, his voice trembling uncontrollably:
"No...this is terrible! Chairman Zheng's pulse is weak, he's in respiratory failure! It's acute cardiac arrest! I...I can't do anything!"
These words caused an uproar in the room.
Zheng Zangfeng is one of the pillars of Beijing. If something were to happen to him, the entire business district of Beijing would be shaken.
"Mr. Kiyogen! Mr. Kiyogen, please come quickly!"
Someone suddenly shouted,
"You are a reclusive master, you must have a way to save Chairman Zheng!"
All eyes immediately fell on Liu Qingxuan in the corner.
Liu Qingxuan's heart skipped a beat. This was a golden opportunity to salvage his reputation and curry favor with the Zheng family!
The embarrassment I just suffered at Shen Yu's hands can be redeemed by rescuing Zheng Zangfeng.
As long as Zheng Zangfeng can be saved, not to mention the little incident just now, the Zheng family will be his strongest backer from now on, and he will have more confidence to deal with Shen Yu.
He immediately straightened his Taoist robe, walked over slowly, raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and spoke in a calm tone with an unquestionable certainty:
"Everyone, don't panic, let me take a look. This isn't a common emergency for Chairman Zheng; he's offended something unclean. I have a way to resolve this."
Hearing him say that, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's great! With Mr. Qingxuan here, Chairman Zheng will definitely be alright!"
"Mr. Qingxuan is indeed amazing; he saw the problem at a glance!"
"No wonder he's Beijing's number one metaphysics master!"
A chorus of praise rose and fell around him, and Liu Qingxuan's smile deepened. His earlier embarrassment vanished, and he regained his air of a master.
He squatted down and pretended to take Zheng Zangfeng's pulse, then flipped his eyelids over, but his heart skipped a beat.
He hadn't offended anything unclean; it was clearly the sudden eruption of over twenty years of accumulated yin energy within him, attacking his heart and lungs, leaving him on the verge of collapse.
Even if he tried his best, he would only have less than a 20% chance of saving the person from this level of malevolent energy. If he was not careful, he might even attract the evil energy and damage his cultivation.
But he had already made the boast, and everyone in the room was watching him. If he said he couldn't save them, all the reputation he had built up over the years would be ruined.
For a time, Liu Qingxuan found himself in a difficult situation.
In the end, he could only grit his teeth and grit his teeth to proceed.
Liu Qingxuan took out three yellow talismans from his sleeve, flicked them with his fingertips, and the talismans spontaneously combusted without fire, turning into three wisps of gray smoke that slowly circled around Zheng Zangfeng.
Then, he took out silver needles, held his breath and concentrated, and slowly inserted them into several acupoints on Zheng Zangfeng's body.
His movements were slow and deliberate, with a strong sense of ritual, which made those around him even more convinced.
"Mr. Xuan's technique is so professional!"
"Chairman Zheng will definitely be alright now!"
"Once Mr. Qingxuan has healed Chairman Zheng, let's see what Shen Yu has to say! He dared to mock Mr. Qingxuan just now; he truly doesn't know his own limitations!"
Zheng Yuxuan also breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Liu Qingxuan gratefully:
"Mr. Qingxuan, we beg you! If you can save my grandfather, our Zheng family will repay you handsomely!"
Liu Qingxuan did not turn around, but nodded slightly. However, his movements became slower and slower, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
He could sense that the Yin energy within Zheng Zangfeng's body was becoming increasingly violent, and his talismans and silver needles were unable to suppress it at all. Instead, they were constantly stimulating the Yin energy, causing it to spread even faster.
Just then, a clear, cold voice suddenly rang out.
"I'm telling you, what you're doing isn't saving him, it's harming him."
Everyone turned their heads sharply to look at Shen Yu, who was speaking, and their faces instantly showed dissatisfaction.
"Why is he here again? Wasn't mocking Mr. Qingxuan enough?"
"That's right! Mr. Qingxuan is saving people, don't cause trouble here!"
"How can a young man be so ungrateful? If you delay saving Chairman Zheng, can you take responsibility?"
Zheng Yuxuan, his eyes also red, roared at Shen Yu:
"Shut up! My grandfather is about to be cured by Master Qingxuan. If you keep spouting nonsense, I won't be polite!"
Liu Qingxuan felt a pang of panic, but still forced himself to remain calm, raising his head to look coldly at Shen Yu:
"Mr. Shen, I've tolerated you repeatedly out of respect for you as a guest. But you've provoked me time and again, and you're spreading rumors and delaying the treatment of Chairman Zheng. What are you really up to?"
"What are my intentions?"
Shen Yu walked over slowly, looking down at Liu Qingxuan, his tone calm yet full of confidence.
"I just don't want to see you treat human life so carelessly. The Yin energy in his body has already invaded his internal organs. If you forcefully suppress it with a Yang talisman, it will only cause the Yin energy to backfire even more severely."
"These needles you inserted have sealed off his last remaining channel for expelling evil. You have another half minute, and he will vomit black blood and die completely."
"You're talking nonsense!" Liu Qingxuan shouted sternly.
"I've cultivated metaphysics for decades, do you think I can't distinguish the depths of Yin energy? Shen Yu, I think you're just jealous that I can save Chairman Zheng, and you're deliberately trying to sow discord here! Let me tell you, if anything happens to Chairman Zheng, I'll hold you responsible!"
"Really?" Shen Yu raised an eyebrow, crossed his arms, and looked at him with a leisurely air.
"Then we'll wait and see. Let's see if you can save him, or if what I said will come true."
Liu Qingxuan grew increasingly panicked, but dared not stop what he was doing.
He gritted his teeth, took out the strongest talisman to suppress evil spirits, and was about to stick it on Zheng Zangfeng's forehead.
"Don't stick it!" Shen Yu shouted sternly.
But it was too late.
The moment the talisman touched Zheng Zangfeng's forehead, Zheng Zangfeng suddenly arched his back, convulsed violently, and spat out a mouthful of jet-black blood, splattering all over Liu Qingxuan.
His face instantly turned bluish-black, his chest stopped rising and falling, and his eyes closed tightly.
"Grandpa! Grandpa!" Zheng Yuxuan, pale with fright, threw himself at Zheng Zangfeng, crying out in heart-wrenching sobs.
"Grandpa, wake up! Don't leave me!"
The entire venue fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone was stunned, staring in disbelief at the scene before them.
Mr. Qingxuan, who just confidently claimed he could save Chairman Zheng, actually killed him?
Looking at the black blood on his body and then at Zheng Zangfeng, who had completely lost his breath, Liu Qingxuan's face turned ashen, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
He never expected that everything Shen Yu said was true!
"Liu Qingxuan!" Zheng Yuxuan suddenly raised his head, his eyes red as he glared at him, his voice full of hatred.
