Siheyuan: Heir to the Divine Needle, Beating He Yuzhu in a Rage!

After transmigrating to Beijing in 1960, Li Lang inherits the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles passed down through his family and binds the Divine Needle System as soon as he arrives. While others master acupuncture through hard work, the System grants him skills directly: the ancient Huayang Acupuncture Method and Bian Que's true teachings are his from the start. While He Yuzhu is still flipping a giant wok in the cafeteria, Li Lang cures Old Mrs. Deaf's chronic leg pain with a single needle.

On the day of the entire courtyard's meeting, He Yuzhu brings people to kick down the door and catch Li Lang in the act, accusing him of taking advantage of a drunk Qin Huairu. Li Lang pulls a silver needle from his kit and uses it to wake Qin Huairu in front of the three neighborhood committee heads. Then he pins He Yuzhu to the ground and slaps him: "You didn't see me save her, but you were quick to smear my name. Either apologize in public and pay me five yuan, or meet me at the police station tomorrow."

Qin Huairu shoves He Yuzhu away in front of everyone. "We're done." Old Mrs. Deaf rises with her cane and declares, "From now on, anyone who dares slander Doctor Li can answer to my old legs first."

Li Lang puts away his silver needles and surveys the courtyard's rotten neighbors. "My clinic opens tomorrow. If you're sick, come for treatment. If you're not, don't come looking for trouble."
