Chapter 19 Extreme Pain_1

```

The renowned doctors, as well as those watching television in hospitals, couldn't help but marvel, for they indeed saw the old man's complexion transition from deathly pale to ruddy.

Yang Yi, however, merely sneered at this. He was all too familiar with such schemes; they were just actors hired by the Yang family.

The performance, nonetheless, achieved a great effect; Yang Gui-Shou firmly captured the attention of everyone present, then deftly shifted it towards Yang Yi and Gu Qingya.

He glanced at Yang Yi and Gu Qingya, probed with a question, "Both of you seem to have gained little. Maybe the legend is false!"

Gu Qingya was getting a headache, unable to fathom what Yang Gui-Shou was up to, and this was far from a medical conference—it felt more like a one-man show.

Upon hearing Yang Gui-Shou's words, Gu Qingya also relaxed inside, taking the opportunity to back down gracefully.

Along with Yang Gui-Shou's lead, she responded, "Medical Saint Yang Gui-Shou, I am inexperienced in the ways of medicine and ashamed that I cannot comprehend these mysteries!"

Just then, the silvery threads resembling silkworm silk slowly shifted to a pale red hue and even faintly glistened.

Gu Qingya was startled, instantly feeling an intense heat on her fingertips gripping the silvery thread.

The people present were equally astonished, with some even disdainingly remarking, "A doctor should have a heart of compassion. To engage in such mystification! Is this really what juniors should do?"

Among them were people bribed by the Yang family, who now chimed in, "Exactly! You say you don't understand, yet you pull off this flashy stunt. Do you wish to gain fame at the medical conference? It's disgraceful to sully ourselves by association!"

Speaking thus, those sitting next to Yang Yi and Gu Qingya also rose, assuming an air of distancing themselves.

The corners of Yang Gui-Shou's mouth twitched slightly as he looked at Yang Yi with a cold sneer, "You see, I will make sure you end up in disgrace! And then..."

He hadn't finished his words when suddenly he felt a chill at his back; sensing a coldness approaching, Yang Yi was holding the silkworm silk between his fingers, calmly stating, "Whether it's right or wrong! The Yang family need not act so servile, correct?"

The Black Sparrow Elder appeared, his face frosty, body trembling, as if suffering from a high fever yet chilled to the bone.

His voice trembled as he looked at Yang Yi, unable to believe that this person before him was the once-crippled Yang Yi.

The effortless way Yang Yi's Inner Qi had repelled his own had made it clear that Yang Yi's cultivation level was above his own.

The reason Gu Qingya felt the silver thread burning hot was due to the violent collision between Yang Yi's Inner Qi and Black Sparrow's Inner Qi. This invisible vortex of energy was one of the Yang family's secret techniques.

However, what truly forced the Black Sparrow Elder to make an embarrassing appearance was a call from the Yang family. The Family Head of the Yang family was naturally watching the live broadcast of the medical conference and, seeing Yang Yi's action, he had already concluded that Yang Yi was now beyond the family's capacity.

After weighing the pros and cons, the Yang family's senior leadership urgently convened an elder's council, ultimately deciding that embracing Yang Yi would be far more beneficial than eliminating him.

If the Yang family could have such a formidable medical-martial authority, then among the top ten influential families, the Yang family could stand out on its own.

Although Yang Yi was born out of wedlock and could not become the Family Head who governed the clan's fate, becoming an elder was still possible. For them, interest always came first.

The Black Sparrow Elder naturally became the scapegoat, immediately kneeling before Yang Yi, causing a stir throughout the entire hall.

Yang Gui-Shou, unaware of the situation, nearly dropped his jaw in shock. It took him a while to regain his senses, then he asked, "Elder! What are you doing, losing face for the Yang family?"

The Black Sparrow Elder roared, "Nonsense! Kneel down with me!"

Having to kneel as a sacrifice, he had complaints; hearing Yang Gui-Shou's words, he was even more irate.

If not for the fact that Yang Gui-Shou was his successor, he would not have had to come to Chengshan City and endure such humiliation.

Chen Lin looked puzzled, and Gu Qingya was equally confused. The spokespersons of the medical experts were also rendered speechless.

Some certainly knew the identity of the kneeling elder; he was an antique figure of the Yang family. Why was he kneeling to Yang Yi?

However, watching this unfold, Yang Yi felt a deep chill in his heart, his disappointment in the Yang family complete.

He finally understood why the life and death of his parents had been so insignificant; they were merely sacrifices for the Yang family.

The Black Sparrow Elder gently pressed his hand down, pulling Yang Gui-Shou to kneel with him, then respectfully gritted his teeth and called out, "I earnestly request, Young Master Yang, to come home."

With the Black Sparrow Elder making the plea, Yang Gui-Shou, though reluctant, dared not refuse, suspecting that the Yang family might be threatening with their lives.

He too respectfully said, "Please, Young Master Yang, come home!"

Listening to these sincere words, Yang Yi glanced at the camera, then took Gu Qingya's hand and said, "My home, is not with the Yang family!"

Yang Yi, who had long detested the Yang family's shameless compromise, laughed and said, "An old man of eighty kneeling to me, I really can't accept that. It could shorten my lifespan!"

The flippant Yang Yi, in full view of the entire hall, gave no face to the Yang family.

Unable to bear it, Yang Gui-Shou stood up and scolded, "Yang Yi, you bastard, the Yang family is honoring you, a bastard child, by giving you this chance to return to the clan!"

Everyone present was dumbfounded—it had started as a medical conference and suddenly turned into the Yang family's domestic affairs.

The live broadcast was immediately censored. Those in the know could see this was the work of the Yang family's influence.

Many among the audience sneered at this, especially the spokesperson of the Tian Family.

The neurology expert Bai Cangye even laughed coldly on the spot, "This is the Yang family with its ancient medical heritage! You all see, this is nothing but a cancer in the medical community!"

Gu Qingya, somewhat dazed, finally heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing Yang Yi's resolute voice.
