2 - Fantastic ability

Having dealt with the rich second-generation kid he'd always found annoying, Ye Yang turned to head back to his class. The spectators dispersed, leaving only Xiao Hu, who continued to wail in pain.

"Ye Yang, wait up!" came Chen Meng's voice from behind. "Thank you so much for today!"

"You don't need to thank me, Chen Meng. It was Li Gang who brought trouble onto himself. I've been displeased with him for a while now. Consider this me taking out my frustration," Ye Yang responded, turning to face her.

Chen Meng, with her long, silken waterfall of hair that shimmered enchantingly in the sunlight, was the belle of their medical department. Her dainty features could have been painted, and her cherry-like lips exuded innocence. Despite her beauty, she never flaunted it. She usually sat quietly in the corner, engrossed in intricate medical books, always giving a polite smile to admiring glances but never letting them get to her head.

Her beauty wasn't just skin deep. She was a top student, always eager to help classmates struggling with their studies. Her charm emanated not just from her looks but also from her talents and warmth.

"Regardless, you did help me today, and I should express my gratitude!" Chen Meng's voice was truly melodic.

"Send him to the hospital and cover his medical bills," Ye Yang pointed towards Xiao Hu.

"No problem, the Ren De Hospital in Shan City is owned by my family. A quick call will sort it all out." With that, Chen Meng dialed a number, asking for an ambulance to come to the school.

So, her family owns a hospital, no wonder she chose medicine.

When Ye Yang entered the classroom, only a few students were present. He took a seat, surprised when Chen Meng chose to sit next to him, giving him a smile.

There were whispers of surprise around. It was rare to see Chen Meng sitting with a male classmate.

Realizing Ye Yang wasn't going to initiate a conversation, she said, "Ye Yang, you're so proficient in our major. Would you be interested in interning at Ren De Hospital? I can recommend you."

Ye Yang, aware of the immense opportunity this represented, hesitated. Ren De Hospital was renowned globally, frequented by experts, international politicians, and patients with rare conditions.

However, before he could decide, memories of his significant debts clouded his mind. He needed to pay those off before considering anything else.

Seeing his hesitation, Chen Meng looked a tad disappointed but quickly masked it. "Thank you for today, Ye Yang. How about I treat you to dinner tonight?"

"I would love to, but just a heads up, I eat a lot," Ye Yang replied with a grin.

Soon, evening arrived, and Chen Meng ushered Ye Yang into a Rolls-Royce waiting outside. The luxurious interior left him speechless.

As they drove, a couple, Zhang Xuan, and Zhao Hao walked hand in hand nearby. Zhang Xuan thought she glimpsed someone resembling Ye Yang entering the Rolls-Royce but dismissed it as a mirage.

As they headed to Jin Ding Xuan restaurant, Chen Meng received a distressing call. Her face turned white, and she hastily told the driver, "Uncle Li, go home. Grandfather's condition has worsened, and I need to see him immediately." Tears flowed uncontrollably.

When they reached the Chen mansion, the grand estate was bustling with activity. Ye Yang and Chen Meng had barely stepped out when a middle-aged man approached. "Meng, quickly see your grandfather. He's been waiting for you," he said, concern evident in his voice.

Holding Ye Yang's hand tightly, she whispered, "Ye Yang, will you come in with me?" He nodded, knowing he couldn't leave her side now.

When Ye Yang and Chen Meng entered the living room, they saw several renowned medical experts from both home and abroad discussing the condition of Elder Chen. Chen's mother, Su Fanghua, was also among them, tearfully pleading with the experts to come up with a solution.

"Mrs. Su, Elder Chen is already in the late stages of cancer. The cancer cells have spread throughout his body. We've tried every method we could think of. Considering his age, he can't withstand much more," a foreigner, speaking in somewhat broken Chinese, lamented.

Tears filled Su Fanghua's eyes, "How could this happen all of a sudden? You all are deceiving us!"

"Fanghua, calm down," Chen Guangfu tried to console her.

At that moment, Chen Meng, holding onto Ye Yang, walked in. Seeing her family in such distress, she couldn't hold back her tears.

Seeing her daughter, Su Fanghua's eyes filled with relief. She embraced Chen Meng tightly, both weeping.

"Your grandfather is in the upstairs sickroom. Go see him, Meng'er," Chen Guangfu said with tears in his eyes.

Nodding, Chen Meng was about to lead Ye Yang upstairs when Chen Guangfu's voice stopped her, "Wait, Meng'er, only you can go in."

"Dad, it's okay for Ye Yang to come in. He saved me at school today," Chen Meng pleaded.

"Guangfu, let them go in together. Trust Meng'er," Su Fanghua chimed in.

Without saying more, Chen Guangfu nodded in agreement.

Entering the sickroom, they saw Elder Chen lying in bed, looking pale and weak, as if he was at death's door.

"Grandpa," Chen Meng held onto Elder Chen's hand, tears streaming down her face. She had grown up with her grandparents as her parents were always busy, so she had a special bond with her grandfather.

"Meng'er, don't cry, my good granddaughter," Chen YuanKang tried to look spirited despite his pain, not wanting to worry her.

Nodding through her tears, Chen Meng said, "Grandpa, you have to hang on. We will find a way to cure you."

Chen YuanKang softly touched her head, "Meng'er, I've lived a long and fulfilled life. It might be time to join your grandma. She must be lonely without me. The only regret I have is not seeing you get married and giving me a great-grandchild."

Upon hearing this, Chen Meng's cries grew even more heart-wrenching.

Seeing her distress, Ye Yang's thoughts drifted back to the land of Xuan Yang, where his original self, Lin Yang, using his immortal body, defeated countless foes and used his blood's extraordinary healing properties to save many heroes.

His blood was considered a miraculous elixir, capable of reviving the dead and extending one's lifespan, coveted by many clan leaders.

Shaking off his reverie, Ye Yang said, "Elder Chen, I learned traditional Chinese medicine from my master when I was young. I have a technique that might boost your immune system temporarily. Maybe it can help."

Although uncertain if this ability transferred to his current self, he felt it was worth trying.

"Thank you, young man, but I know my body. I'm beyond saving," Chen YuanKang whispered weakly.

"Is it true, Ye Yang? Can you really cure my grandpa?" Chen Meng's eyes gleamed with hope.

Seeing her hopeful gaze, Ye Yang replied, "I can't guarantee a cure, but I will do my best."

Hearing this, Chen Meng's tears momentarily stopped, her eyes filled with hope, "Please try your best, Ye Yang. I beg you."

Nodding, Ye Yang took a silver needle, pricked his thigh, and drew some of his own blood. Quickly, he inserted the needle into a specific acupoint close to Chen YuanKang's heart. The elder twitched slightly.

Feeling the elder's life force grow stronger, a hint of a smile appeared on Ye Yang's face.

"Elder Chen, please hold on," he whispered, then inserted the needle into another acupoint.

Time seemed to stand still. Chen Meng watched, fearing the worst.

Suddenly, Chen YuanKang gasped for air. His eyes fluttered open, full of astonishment. "Why...why do I feel so much better?" he wondered aloud, feeling revitalized.

Witnessing the miracle, Chen Meng, overjoyed, hugged her grandfather. "Grandpa, you're okay."

Chen YuanKang nodded with a smile, "Yes, Meng'er, I feel much better."

Turning to Ye Yang, gratitude in his eyes, he said, "Young man, you truly are a miracle worker."

Ye Yang, looking at Chen Meng, said warmly, "Elder Chen is fine now. I'll leave you two alone." He then left, giving them privacy for their heartfelt reunion.
