Chapter 152

Noticing that Lin Yu's expression was wrong, Tang Yiyan snorted lightly and threw a token to him, "This is the token for the person in charge of the Central Region of the Mysterious Gate; the Nine Elders' meaning is that you cannot refuse this time."

As soon as her words fell, she looked toward the direction of Maiyi Lane and Genyue Courtyard, her expression exceptionally serious.

Lin Yu took the token with the word "Xuan" engraved on the front and said with a bitter smile, "Those old gentlemen, can you stop forcing me?"

Tang Yiyan leaned against the front of the car, tightened her collar, and responded, "No one is forcing you; nowadays, traditional Mysterious Gate forces like the Tang Sect, Tianshan, and Kunlun have long lost their glory, and everyone can only unite to keep warm.

Do you also want to be like them, trapped in your own small world?"

Subsequently, Tang Yiyan pointed toward the direction of Genyue Courtyard and Maiyi Lane, a hint of teasing revealing itself in her eyes:

"Not to mention, you are also the grandson of the so-called 'Stealing Heaven Thief' Lin Bu'er, the leader of the Six Thieves of Xuanmen. Everyone thinks you have inherited your grandfather's alchemy and profound medicine skills."

After speaking, she opened the car door and made an inviting gesture, "Get in the car! My grandfather wants to ask you to help adjust his body, and by the way, there are some questions he wants to ask for advice."

Mentioning alchemy and profound medicine, that was the best of the Six Divine Skills of Xuanmen. However, Lin Yu hadn't even seen his grandfather's appearance, and learning alchemy and profound medicine was out of the question.

As for his father, although he had tried to learn based on the notes left by Lin Yu's grandfather, due to incomplete records, it eventually failed to take shape.

As for Lin Yu himself, although he had read family classics since childhood and had superb medical skills, he was indeed completely ignorant of alchemy and profound medicine.

Facing Tang Yiyan's urging, Lin Yu still wanted to argue, "Can't we go when it's dawn? I still have to patrol tonight."

Tang Yiyan directly locked the car door and announced arrogantly, "From today on, the safety of Miao Street is taken over by the Tang Sect; there won't be any problems."

Immediately, she stepped on the gas, and the car sped away.

About an hour later, when the morning light spilled in through the car window, Lin Yu was sleeping soundly in the car, but was pulled out of the car by Tang Yiyan.

The cool morning breeze made him shiver, and only then did he realize he was already in front of Villa No. 1 of Yipin Yuyuan Manor.

This manor was one of the works of the Tang Sect Group.

Many years ago, Lin Yu had adjusted the internal breath for Tang Yiyan's grandfather, and after that, Tang Yuanhui had gifted Villa No. 3 in the manor to Lin Yu.

When Western forces wanted to suppress the Yulong Pavilion, Tang Yuanhui stood up and protected all members of the Yulong Pavilion from harm.

"What are you doing here so early? Who let you come?" Tang Yiyan's roar woke Lin Yu from his contemplation, and only then did he notice the few people sitting at the stone table in the villa courtyard.

Sitting in the head seat was an old man with a crane-like appearance and a youthful face, without a single wrinkle on his face, looking as spirited as a young man.

He was the current head of the Tang Sect and also the actual controller of the Tang Sect Group, Tang Yuanhui.

Sitting opposite Tang Yuanhui were two people: one was a tall and thin young man, and the other was a middle-aged man who was taking Tang Yuanhui's pulse.

Tang Yuanhui scolded Tang Yiyan, "Youran, Qin Jun is your fiancé who hasn't entered the door yet; how can you speak to him like that?"

Tang Yiyan responded without showing weakness, "That was a marriage engagement set since childhood; it doesn't count. I don't want to marry him at all."

Facing Tang Yiyan's direct rebuttal, Qin Jun didn't get angry, but instead explained with a smile, "Youran, don't be angry. It's my fault for not greeting you before I came. The reason I invited this divine doctor is because I'm worried about Grandpa's health."

Tang Yiyan angrily pushed away Qin Jun's hand and said, "Divine doctor? You, a person from a military background, what kind of real divine doctor can you find? Besides, who said Grandpa is sick? You're just randomly finding someone to see a doctor for Grandpa?"

Lin Yu observed this argument quietly from the side, and only then did he understand that this young man was a member of the Chang'an Qin family.

Hearing Tang Yiyan's words, Tang Yuanhui sternly stopped her, "Youran, don't say any more; Qin Jun also has good intentions."

But Tang Yiyan didn't buy it and muttered in a low voice, "I'm just afraid some people's good intentions will turn into bad things."

Tang Yuanhui stopped paying attention to Tang Yiyan and turned his gaze to Lin Yu, who had just entered the door, "Lin Yu is here; last time it was you who helped me adjust, and the effect was very good; it hasn't recurred all these years."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man who had been taking Tang Yuanhui's pulse looked up at Lin Yu, and seeing him so young, revealed a look of disdain and continued to take the pulse.

Lin Yu bowed politely and said, "Grandpa Tang's body has always been very sturdy, and this time there is no major problem."

Next, he mobilized his internal breath to open his Heavenly Eye, feeling a burning sensation between his brows, and through his Heavenly Eye, he saw the changes in Tang Yuanhui's internal breath.

Tang Yuanhui's body surface emitted a faint radiance, showing profound cultivation, but he deliberately kept a low profile.

Lin Yu evaluated, "Grandpa Tang's breath is condensed, and his body should have no major problem; just need to adjust the Qi and blood."

Tang Yuanhui was very happy to hear this, "Great, it's really been tossing me to death in the past six months." At this time, the middle-aged man who had been silent opened his mouth, looked at Lin Yu, and then said slowly.

"Old Tang, please don't be too optimistic. At your advanced age, it is very normal for some conditions to appear in your body. Just now, through pulse taking, I discovered that your body seems to have some problems. Can Old Tang share with us where you feel uncomfortable recently?"

Tang Yuanhui first revealed a confused expression, clearly holding a skeptical attitude toward the middle-aged man's words, but out of respect for Qin Jun, he still opened his mouth to say:

"In the past six months, when practicing the small heavenly circuit of the cultivation method, my internal breath has always been blocked when passing through the middle of the spine to strike the Yuzhen Acupoint. Every time the internal breath wants to rush past this acupoint, it triggers a severe headache."

After listening to Tang Junsheng's description of his own condition, Lin Yu's face first revealed a look of relaxation, and then turned to joy.

Because in Mysterious Gate cultivation, whether it is the big heavenly circuit or the small heavenly circuit, when an obstruction occurs while the internal breath is striking an acupoint, it usually means an important breakthrough is about to come.

It seemed that since Lin Yu helped Tang Yuanhui break through the bottleneck a few years ago, he was now standing on the edge of a new breakthrough.

However, the middle-aged man was solemn and deliberately hesitated, saying, "Since Old Tang says so, I'm afraid your condition is indeed not optimistic."

Hearing this, Lin Yu looked at the middle-aged man in surprise and then fell into deep thought.

This middle-aged man with a handlebar mustache, who looked to be in his forties, was dressed in a suit and leather shoes and used an extremely ancient pulse-taking technique; this technique had been lost before the Ming Dynasty, but had been passed down in Nihon until now.

What surprised Lin Yu even more was that he couldn't see the life radiance on the middle-aged man, which meant that this person had been dead for at least seven days.

At this moment, Tang Yuanhui looked at the middle-aged man with interest and asked back, "Oh, is that so? Then what problem does my body have?"
