"The needles stored in flames are imbued with pure yang energy; those encased in ice are infused with pure yin energy. As for the flowing water, it represents the ultimate balance of strength and gentleness. The needles preserved in water are both smooth and delicate, yet sharp and unyielding," Joseph remarked as he examined the three sets, his tone thoughtful."Professor Wilson, you truly have a discerning eye," Philip said, impressed."The needles kept in flames are called the Forged Flame Needles. As the name suggests, they were repeatedly forged and tempered in intense fire.""The ones encased in ice are the Eternal Ice Needles. During their creation, they were soaked in a special medicinal solution for forty-nine days, then sealed in ice for another forty-nine days to preserve the medicinal properties.""This process was repeated nine times, imbuing each needle with nine layers of medicinal efficacy that are highly beneficial to the human body.""As for the needles in flowing wat

"If you’re able to bring them, that would indeed be ideal. Their unique storage needs make them difficult to transport," Joseph replied, his gaze briefly sweeping across the room full of silver needles."Professor Wilson, I’ll let Mrs. Cooper know tonight that we’ll be visiting Old Mr. Cooper on Saturday. Since we were once his primary physicians, she’s unlikely to refuse," Philip said confidently."That’s fine, but please don’t mention that I’ll be coming. There are… many complicated factors involved. You can simply go under your own names," Joseph instructed."Don’t worry, Professor Wilson. We won’t say a word about you," Tristan assured him."Good. Aside from the Graceful Water Needles, I’ll also need two sets of standard silver needles. If it’s convenient, I’d rather not go out and purchase them," Joseph said directly, not bothering with formalities."That’s no trouble at all. Just pick out two sets from the wall," Philip replied generously."Then I won’t stand on ceremony," Josep

“So, that’s what this is all about,” Philip remarked, a touch of understanding in his voice. “Don’t you think having such an outstanding grandson-in-law would be wonderful?” Laura said, her smile shy and anticipatory. The mere thought of Joseph Wilson becoming her son-in-law was enough to make her giddy. “Do you think I haven’t thought about that?” Philip replied with a sigh. “But it all depends on what our girl is capable of. A young man like Professor Wilson—do you think he doesn’t have women lining up for him?” “That’s exactly why we have to help her! Father, you and he are both in the medical field—invite him over more often. That room of yours, it’s time to put it to good use,” Laura coaxed earnestly. “As if I needed you to tell me that. I’ve already thought of it,” Philip scoffed. “You think I don’t see through your little schemes? That girl of yours—when she looks at Professor Wilson, her eyes practically sparkle.” “This is the first time I’ve ever seen her look at a man l

Hearing the voice messages, Joseph directly called Alice back, switching to speakerphone as he drove. The call connected almost instantly. “Hello? Joseph, are you home yet?” Alice’s crisp and melodious voice came through the line. “I’m already on my way,” Joseph replied, his hands steady on the wheel. “Did you get it?” Alice asked eagerly. “Yes, I got it. Everything went smoothly, no issues,” Joseph assured her. “How much did it cost? I was worried you’d need money and kept waiting for you to contact me,” Alice said, her voice tinged with concern. “It didn’t cost anything. The student’s parent owed me a favor, so they gave it to me as a gift,” Joseph explained with a slight chuckle. “That’s quite generous,” Alice said, sounding surprised. “It’s a valuable item—something money can’t easily buy. It’s pure luck I managed to find such a good set of silver needles,” Joseph added, his tone relaxed. “Well then, drive safely. We’ll talk more when you get home,” Alice said sweetly. “

“Joseph, do you think I’m unattractive? Am I not womanly enough?” Alice asked softly. She sat up, smoothing her tousled hair and avoiding his gaze, her cheeks still tinged with a rosy hue. “Silly girl, of course not,” Joseph said gently. He reached out and cupped her cheek, his thumb brushing against her soft skin. But before he could say more, Alice suddenly stood on tiptoe and pressed her lips to his. Her arms wrapped tightly around his neck as she pulled him down with her. This time, they fell onto the bed together once more. Alice’s boldness shattered the last of Joseph’s composure. His hands, as if moving of their own accord, slipped under her clothes, finding the soft, warm curves of her body. The sensation sent his heart racing, every nerve in his body ablaze. This girl had completely unraveled him.……“Mason Alvarez, you’re here! Why bring all these things?” Alice asked warmly, eyeing the assortment of bags Mason carried in with her.“Oh, just a couple of bottles of wine

“Tell me, can he unhook it with one hand?” Mason leaned closer, wrapping an arm around Alice’s shoulder with mock intimacy.“What are you talking about? Unhook what? I don’t understand!” Alice responded, genuinely confused.“You really don’t know?” Mason pressed, refusing to let up.“I really don’t! You always ask such weird questions. I’m not talking to you anymore. If you’re so curious, go ask him yourself!” Alice pouted, her face flushed with embarrassment.“If you don’t know, I’ll just have to demonstrate,” Mason said, smirking devilishly. Her hands moved with lightning speed, slipping under Alice’s shirt from behind.Snap!Alice suddenly felt something loosen at her back, followed by a sensation of freedom across her chest. She gasped in shock. “Mason! You’re unbelievable! You actually did it! That’s way too much!” she cried, hurriedly crossing her arms over her chest to hold her clothes in place, her face burning with shame and anger.“Oh, come on. There’s worse I could do,” Mas

“Professor Wilson, don’t mind if I dig in,” Mason said after finishing her wine, her excitement palpable.“When have you ever minded?” Joseph replied, shaking his head.“Hehe, let me try some of your cooking,” Mason said happily, diving into the dishes. As expected, she was full of praise, giving Joseph’s culinary skills the highest compliments. Though she had tasted his cooking in the school cafeteria earlier, the freshly prepared dishes were on an entirely different level.The meal was a joyous one for Mason and Alice, both of whom ate to their hearts’ content. Joseph, on the other hand, simply accompanied them, eating sparingly.By the time the meal was winding down, the wine bottle was nearly empty. Joseph tried to persuade the two women to stop drinking, and while Alice listened, Mason was entirely unrestrained.Of the bottle, Alice drank about a quarter, while Joseph and Mason split the rest. But their states were vastly different: Alice, after just a few sips, slumped over the

“Alice, can you hear me?” He called again, this time a bit louder. Finally, Alice’s eyes fluttered open, hazy with sleep.“Joseph…” she murmured, her voice barely audible.“How are you feeling?” he asked.“Just sleepy… I want to go to bed,” she mumbled.“Alright, I’ll carry you to your room,” Joseph said. If it weren’t for Mason Alvarez’s influence, Alice wouldn’t have drunk at all. This entire situation was Mason’s fault, he thought irritably.He gently scooped Alice into his arms. She was light, her slender figure perfectly proportioned, with curves in all the right places. As Joseph carried her, Alice instinctively burrowed her head into his chest, her movements soft and endearing. Even in her half-conscious state, she seemed to find comfort and security in his embrace.Joseph pushed open the door to Alice’s room and laid her gently on the bed. As he was about to leave, Alice’s soft voice stopped him.“Joseph… I want water,” she murmured.“Wait here,” Joseph replied. He stepped out

"This is a matter between teachers—it has nothing to do with you students!" Charles Martin tried to explain, his voice tense."If it has nothing to do with us, then why did you make it public?" "Exactly! Couldn’t agree more." "A teacher who doesn’t keep his word isn’t welcome at Nova University." "Yeah, own up to your bet!" "..."The voices on the other end grew louder and more chaotic."I’m done talking. I’m hanging up—I have class to get to." Charles Martin ended the call abruptly. There was no point in dragging it out any longer; he knew he wouldn’t win against this mob.He was tempted to just switch off his phone and be done with it.But school policy required teachers to keep their phones on and available during work hours, in case of emergencies or administrative contact.Charles leaned back in his chair, exhausted in both body and mind. He still had no idea who had leaked his personal information to the school forum.Buzz! Buzz!And again, the phone vibrated.Already on e

"Professor Alvarez, you misunderstood. I just didn’t control my volume," Joseph said awkwardly, trying to explain himself."Then why do you always seem so dismissive of me? Why are you constantly arguing with me? Do you have some sort of bias against me?" Mason Alvarez pressed on, clearly aggrieved."You’ve really got it wrong. Honestly, I think you’re a great person—easygoing and down-to-earth. Being around you, I don’t feel the need to put on airs." Joseph replied earnestly."Is that really how you feel?" Mason’s voice softened, her gaze growing gentler."Of course it is. Why would I lie about something like that? I wouldn’t have agreed to help you dodge that blind date otherwise, would I? And besides, you’re close with Alice. Any friend of hers is a friend of mine." Joseph spoke without hesitation."Then, Professor Wilson... why don’t we date?" Mason’s eyes sparkled mischievously as she made the unexpected suggestion.Joseph froze, completely taken aback."Hey, what’s with th

While Mason Alvarez was drowning in embarrassment, Joseph sat at his desk, utterly unfazed, leisurely flipping through documents and browsing references on his computer, as though the chaos around him had nothing to do with him.The sight of his calm demeanor only fueled Mason's frustration.Why was she the one being grilled by Brady Rogers and Felix Baker, while this infuriating man got to sit there, completely untouched by the storm?Fueled by indignation, she abruptly lifted her foot and stomped hard on Joseph’s.“Ouch!”Joseph yelped in pain, turning to her in disbelief.“Professor Alvarez, what the hell?! Why’d you step on my foot?”“Oh, sorry. Totally an accident.”Mason shot him a glare that said otherwise. Joseph was left speechless.“Professor Alvarez, you still haven’t answered Professor Baker’s question.”Brady Rogers reminded her, ever so helpfully.Mason nearly choked. Brady, who usually came off as the quiet one, was now joining the teasing squad? The world had truly gon

The moment Joseph opened the school forum, his screen was flooded with posts about him. Nearly every trending thread pinned at the top was somehow related to him.“Youngest professor cracks a complex medical case!” “Professor Martin’s bet with Professor Wilson—will he really bow and apologize?” “Anyone got Professor Martin’s number? I want to give him a piece of my mind.” “If Professor Martin doesn’t keep his word, no one will take his class ever again.” …Every corner of the forum was plastered with threads, all revolving around Joseph and Charles Martin.He casually tapped into the post asking for Martin’s phone number. A quick glance confirmed his expectations—users had already dug up more than just his number. His home address was exposed too.The replies were brutal.“Looks like Professor Martin’s getting digitally lynched.”Joseph muttered under his breath. Martin probably never imagined his private life would be stripped bare and paraded so shamelessly on the school forum.

"Seven times a week should be fine. Any more than that, and it might be pushing it. Just pace yourself." Joseph said casually. "Seven times a week? That much? Even at my peak, I couldn’t manage that!" Mason Morgan was utterly stunned. Joseph cast him a knowing glance. "Sounds like Uncle Mason wasn’t all that strong to begin with." "You little brat, what nonsense are you spouting now?!" Mason instantly bristled. "Just hurry up and finish writing that prescription. Less talking, more working!" Joseph smirked but didn’t argue. He simply continued writing with quiet focus. One check’s backside wasn’t enough—he had to use a second one to finish. After about twenty minutes, he finally put down his pen. "This one is the prescription, and the other contains the medical instructions. Follow them precisely, and you’ll be fine." Joseph handed both checks to Mason Morgan. Mason scanned them, recognizing a few of the ingredients but not fully understanding their effects. After all, he

"Well, what do you think?" "If that old doctor were more skilled than me, you wouldn’t be sitting here talking to me right now. His prescription clearly didn’t meet your expectations." "That’s why you came to me—hoping I could offer a better solution." Joseph’s words were sharp and precise. Mason Morgan sighed. "That’s true." "But if even that old doctor couldn’t fully resolve my issue, are you sure you can? He seemed pretty capable." His brows furrowed in concern—after all, this was a matter that would affect the rest of his life. He couldn’t afford to take it lightly. "The old doctor does have some skill," Joseph admitted calmly, "but not much." Mason scoffed. "You sure don’t lack confidence, kid." "But talk is cheap. I still don’t know how skilled you really are. You say all the right things, but when it comes down to actual treatment, can you really deliver?" Joseph smirked. "I don’t even need to see it to know what prescription he gave you." "Got a pen and paper? Hand

Joseph took a slow sip of his lemon water, placing the glass back on the table with a composed smile. His unhurried demeanor only served to irritate Mason Morgan. "Kid, you’ve got nothing, huh? I knew you were just full of hot air!" "But I get it. You’re trained in traditional medicine—you don’t understand modern medical practices, so you have no clue how Western medicine would treat my condition." Mason assumed Joseph’s calmness was just a stalling tactic. "Uncle Mason, I’m well-versed in traditional Chinese medicine, but I also have a solid grasp of modern medicine." "To put it plainly, I’ve mastered both worlds, East and West, past and present. In the field of andrology, my mentor was known as the ‘Saint of Men’s Health.’" "I inherited all his teachings, but I didn’t just stop there—I refined and innovated upon them. As a result, I earned the title ‘Little Saint of Men’s Health.’" "And let’s be clear—the ‘Little’ in my title isn’t because I’m inferior to my master. It’s sim

Under Mason Alvarez’s relentless teasing, Alice could do nothing but yelp and struggle. "You’re awful! You’re the worst! Let me go—I surrender! I won’t say anything about you again, I swear! Please, have mercy!" She begged for a while before Mason Alvarez finally relented. By then, Alice was thoroughly disheveled, her breathing uneven as she lay sprawled out on the bed, utterly spent. "Now do you understand the power of your senior?" Mason grinned triumphantly. "You’re nothing but a shameless rogue!" Alice huffed. "Oh? Care to repeat that?" Mason’s eyes narrowed in mock threat. Alice immediately turned her head away, pouting but clearly backing down. "Still, Wilson sure is one lucky man," Mason mused as she gave Alice a once-over. "You look so petite, but who would’ve thought you had such a killer figure?" Alice shot her a glare. "You’re not exactly lacking yourself! You think you were the only one taking advantage just now? I got my fair share too!" Mason chuckled. "Oh? Is

"Oh, stop it! Don’t ask me that—you’re so shameless!" Alice covered her face, utterly embarrassed. Every time Mason Alvarez probed her with these kinds of questions, her cheeks would burn as if set ablaze. "Oh, please! You’ve been living together for so long—who would believe that nothing has happened between you two?" Mason teased with a mischievous grin. "It’s true! Joseph said he wants to wait for the right moment," Alice murmured, her voice growing softer as she buried her face deeper into her hands. "Tsk tsk, waiting for a special moment? Who would’ve thought Wilson was such a traditional man? He really doesn’t seem the type," Mason mused, clearly surprised. "Honestly, I think it’s kind of sweet," Alice said in a hushed tone. Mason draped an arm around Alice’s shoulders, her voice laced with playful mischief. "Listen, little one, a man only truly belongs to you once he’s in your grasp—understand?" Alice blinked in confusion. "What do you mean by that, Mason?" "It’s simpl
