Chapter 244: Does this girl have a golden mouth?
Old buddy, Xia girl's situation is indeed strange, like she's hurt her heart and soul; to put it bluntly, we old folks are only strong in medical skills, and outside of medical skills, coming to us is useless.
Huang Ziming looked toward Elder Xia, spoke slowly, and the other few elderly divine doctors also secretly nodded, showing agreement.
At that moment, Lin Meng and Ye Chenjing walked in.
Huang Ziming saw Lin Meng standing beside Ye Chenjing, and immediately lifted his spirits.
This girl often hangs out with Ye Xiaozi; he has practically watched Ye Chenjing grow up, and he has never seen him so attentive toward a peer-aged girl before.
Moreover, he always felt that this young lady's demeanor was quite extraordinary; although she was very beautiful, like a celestial maiden, her inner temperament far surpassed her outer appearance.
Not long ago, Ye Chenjing seemed destined for lifelong disability, yet the next day he was up and about, jumping around; outside speculation ran rampant, but the Ye family suppressed the incident with thunderous means, preventing any chain reaction.
But the one who often goes to Ye Xiangrong for tea knows that Ye Chenjing's miracle came from having taken a pill.
But no matter how he tried to probe indirectly, he couldn't get Ye Old Man to open his mouth.
This old fellow is usually easy to fool, so it seems the hidden expert behind the pill is someone the Ye family highly values.
Huang Ziming's eyes flashed; he furtively sized up Lin Meng, then quickly withdrew his gaze.
He actually had a strange idea pop into his mind, even somewhat absurd.
At that moment he actually felt that the mysterious expert Ye Xiangrong had been carefully protecting behind the scenes was none other than this twenty-something yellow-haired girl before him!
"Chenjing has come, Lin girl, why are you also here?"
Elder Ye first saw Ye Chenjing walking ahead; as he opened his mouth, he saw Lin Meng stepping out behind him, and he instantly rose to his feet, striding forward to greet Lin Meng.
Lin Meng nodded, "I heard about Ye Chenyu's situation, so I came by on the way."
As soon as Lin Meng arrived, the old man suddenly felt confident; perhaps Miss Lin had a solution.
Everyone in the room noticed Elder Ye's unusual behavior, all looking at Lin Meng in surprise.
This young lady looks about twenty, and she is extremely beautiful; could she be the Ye family's destined daughter-in-law?
Only Huang Ziming's expression jolted, and he grew more certain of his earlier suspicion.
He knows Ye Xiangrong best—outwardly amiable, but inwardly arrogant; it's impossible for him to be so courteous, even reverent, toward a junior, let alone rise to greet them or even make a special greeting.
From this, Miss Lin's identity must certainly be extraordinary!
At this moment, Ye Chenyu walked over with his head lowered, too guilty to lift his gaze.
But thinking of how Xia Linlin had fallen unconscious because of him, a strong unease made his mind flustered, and the next second he lifted his head to look at Lin Meng, his eyes full of pleading.
He knew his brother had brought Lin Meng, so she surely had a way; Lin Meng's pills were especially efficacious, perhaps they could wake Linlin.
Fortunately, Ye Chenyu was still somewhat clear-headed and did not beg Lin Meng in front of so many people.
Lin Meng gave Ye Chenjing a subtle glance without changing her expression, and Ye Chenjing immediately understood.
He first greeted Elder Xia, then turned his gaze to the people in the ward.
"Since you temporarily can't do anything, please leave first; too many people gathered is not conducive to the patient's recovery."
The doctor beside them also quickly echoed, "General Manager Ye is right; the patient needs a quiet environment, and with you all crowding the ward, even the air has become turbid."
For a moment, everyone looked at each other, and could only say goodbye one by one.
Admittedly embarrassing, they hadn't helped at all.
Leaving the ward, Huang Ziming didn't go, but said to his remaining old friends:
"You go ahead; I'll wait for Old Ye."
The several divine doctors nodded, then said:
"How about we go see Divine Doctor Fang? If that fails, we could go to Little South Heaven to ask True Person Bai for a look?"
Everyone took turns feeling the pulse, found nothing wrong, and deep down they already suspected that Xia Linlin's unconsciousness had some other cause, not necessarily illness-related.
Huang Ziming's expression shifted slightly, and he nodded.
"I understand; you go ahead first, and I'll talk to Old Xia later."
But Elder Xia is a proper scholar; he might not believe those things.
In the ward, only the doctor, Lin Meng, the three members of the Ye family, and Elder Xia remained.
Elder Xia finally rose at this point, curiously gazing at Lin Meng, and said to Elder Ye:
"Brother, who is this little friend?"
Elder Ye hurriedly introduced her to Elder Xia.
"This child is called Lin Meng; don't let her young age fool you—her abilities are not small."
Upon hearing that, Elder Xia seemed not particularly surprised, and he silently sighed, thinking of his own granddaughter, who is about the same age as Lin Meng and is now nearly a vegetative state.
Thinking of that, Elder Xia felt anguished, wishing he could beat Ye Chenyu and the other young people to death with his cane.
But Ye Chenyu is, after all, the beloved grandson of his old friend, someone he has watched grow up, and he knows Ye Chenyu harbors no ill intent.
Lin Meng saw Elder Xia's mood was poor, so she thought a moment and said:
"Hello, Elder Xia, may I go see your granddaughter?"
Elder Xia didn't think much and nodded.
His granddaughter loves making friends, always has people around, and Lin Meng is her peer, so a visit wouldn't be anything out of the ordinary.
Seeing Elder Xia's nod of agreement, Lin Meng walked to the bedside and examined closely.
This Xia Linlin is born very cute, with a pleasing appearance; one look makes people like her.
Such a likable girl—even Ye Chenyu likes her—but she was frightened straight into unconsciousness.
Lin Meng glanced at the chart at the head of the bed; since there's no underlying illness, she shouldn't have been scared into this state—there must be something fishy.
She sensed Xia Linlin's vital aura, which was still quite strong, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, Lin Meng felt the Nine-Eyed Heavenly Pearl she wore close to her body tremble slightly.
Her expression paused; she thought a moment and moved a bit closer to the window.
Suddenly, the Nine-Eyed Heavenly Pearl grew hot, fell from her clothing, and hung in midair, swaying.
To outsiders, they only thought the pendant had fallen out because Lin Meng's body leaned forward slightly and it came along with that movement, but only Lin Meng knew that the Nine-Eyed Heavenly Pearl had bounced out by itself.
The next second, an extremely faint wisp of black qi drilled out of Xia Linlin's body and was absorbed by the Nine-Eyed Heavenly Pearl.
Lin Meng held her breath, and after the black qi was completely absorbed, she quickly straightened her body and, without showing any emotion, hid the Nine-Eyed Heavenly Pearl inside her clothing.
Seeing that no one else noticed, Lin Meng secretly let out a sigh of relief and, at the same time, said to Elder Xia:
"Elder Xia, Miss Linlin has a fortunate appearance; she will surely be fine—she might even wake up soon."
As soon as Lin Meng finished speaking, a soft sound came from the sickbed.
Immediately afterward, Xia Linlin really opened her eyes, looking at everyone in a dazed manner.
"What's happened to me? Grandfather? Is Elder Ye also here?"
Xia Linlin propped herself up with a dazed expression, but she saw that, aside from Lin Meng, everyone was staring at her in shock, especially Elder Xia, whose whole body trembled slightly.
"Child, how did you wake up?"
Suddenly, Elder Xia shuddered all over and couldn't help but look toward Lin Meng.
"Did this girl grow a golden mouth? She just finished saying those auspicious words, and her granddaughter woke up!"
