Chapter 503: You Are Just Here to Snatch Credit

~7 min read 1,388 words

It was not that she did not trust Chen Yu, but that Chen Yu looked truly too young, far too different from the Traditional Chinese Medicine expert she had in mind.

"Correct, Miss Wu is in the isolation ward. Little Chen, let's go over and take a look," said Xu Wanshan.

"Alright," Chen Yu nodded.

"Wait," Wang Xin spoke up: "Sister, this kid is so young, is he reliable?"

"How is he not reliable? Madam Li, I can stake my reputation on it." Xu Wanshan was furious. The person he introduced was unreliable? As the dignified President of the Ning City Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, did he not even have that much credibility?

"It's not that, Xu Lao, don't misunderstand," Li Bei said hurriedly: "Let's go inside and see Xuexue."

The group entered the isolation ward. The intensive care unit was fully equipped with various instruments. A girl could be seen secured to the bed, currently fast asleep.

Although she was fast asleep, her body twitched from time to time, and she would open her mouth to let out a roaring sound, which sounded extremely terrifying.

"How much sedative did she take to fall asleep?" Chen Yu was startled.

The girl's face held a baleful aura, and two of the three fires on her shoulders had already been extinguished. Judging by this, it was a textbook case of External Evil Invasion.

"A very large dose of sedative was used to get her to sleep. If she were awake, she would definitely hurt people," Xu Wanshan sighed and said: "Little Chen, this is the girl's situation. What do you think?"

"Xu Lao, as you said, it is External Evil Invasion," Chen Yu said with a furrowed brow: "You all should step out; I am going to perform Acupuncture on her."

"Mr. Chen, do you really have a way?" Li Bei was both surprised and delighted. Although Chen Yu was young and did not look very convincing, he had Xu Wanshan's guarantee, and he seemed quite confident, so it should not be wrong.

"Yes, Madam Li, please rest assured. The problem can be solved," Chen Yu nodded.

"Then I will leave it to you," Li Bei bowed slightly to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu took out the Silver Needle: "Everyone, please step out. No matter what sounds come from the room in a moment, do not come in. Ten minutes will be enough."

"Alright, let's go out," Li Bei said as she prepared to leave.

"Cousin, do you really believe this kid has genuine talent? No matter how I look at it, I feel he is unreliable," Wang Xin was displeased. She had used all her effort to build a good relationship with Li Bei.

Now a great credit was about to be hers, but it had been snatched away by Chen Yu. How could she not be angry? She stared at Chen Yu and said: "Do you dare to say what the cause of the External Evil Invasion is?"

"Simply put, she is possessed," Chen Yu said indifferently: "This young lady must have gone to play some special spirit-summoning games within the last few days."

"Possessed?" Wang Xin felt a surge of joy. She turned her head and said: "Cousin, I said long ago that Xuexue's situation looked like she was possessed. However, just because this kid can see it doesn't mean he has the ability to cure it. The master I invited will be here soon."

"You should wait. In this situation, it would be troublesome if he cannot control the scene."

"This..." Li Bei hesitated again.

"Madam Li, please rest assured, Little Chen has a handle on this," Xu Wanshan said: "I dare to guarantee it with my position as President of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association."

"Xu Lao, your guarantee is useless. You are getting old, and it is inevitable that you have times when you are muddled. If this kid uses his mouth to sweet-talk you into a daze, you wouldn't even be able to tell," Wang Xin said sarcastically.

"You haven't reached this point in your life easily; don't make a joke of your own reputation. Be careful not to lose your integrity in your later years."

"What did you say?" Xu Wanshan was furious: "Do you mean that I am old, dim-sighted, and unable to judge people?"

"I didn't mean that," Wang Xin snorted and said: "My brother-in-law is in a high position with great power. You shouldn't be trying to snatch credit like this. Can you take responsibility if something goes wrong?"

"You..." Xu Wanshan was almost exploded with anger.

"Xu Lao, don't be angry," Li Bei said hurriedly: "My cousin is blunt and has no malice, but with Xuexue in this state, I really must be cautious."

"Sister, that master will be here soon. Just wait a little longer. This master is a world-renowned figure in the circle. Let me tell you, even my brother-in-law's direct superior, the biggest person in Ning City, has sought him out for Feng Shui and to arrange his ancestral home," Wang Xin whispered.

"Really?" Li Bei was truly startled this time. Her husband Wu Zhangjiang's position was one of the top in Ning City; his direct superior was naturally the biggest one of all.

If even he sought this master to solve problems, then this master truly had some real skills.

"That goes without saying. Would I introduce just anyone to you? Sister, I'm telling you, these high-level experts all have tempers. If you miss out this time, it will be hard to invite him next time," Wang Xin said proudly.

"This master is that impressive?" Chen Yu glanced at Li Bei.

"His reputation is huge. He has always traveled the world, and many big bosses, even high-ranking officials, have dealings with him," Wang Xin held her head high arrogantly: "Ordinary people really can't invite him."

"A true expert wouldn't be so high-profile," Chen Yu laughed: "The less capable one is, the more one likes to go around swindling. A word of advice: don't ruin things for the sake of credit, otherwise, you really won't be able to bear the consequences."

"What did you say? I'm doing this for credit?" Stung, Wang Xin shrieked: "This is my niece; I watched her grow up."

"Hmph, you vulgar mortals, how could you possibly understand the world of experts like us? If you continue to spout nonsense, I will not be polite to you." Just at this moment, a snort came from the living room outside.

"Oh my, Daoist Wangchen is here, Daoist..." Wang Xin could not care about being angry with Chen Yu; she hurriedly put on a respectful expression and went out to welcome him.

"Wangchen?" Chen Yu turned his head toward the hall in surprise. This name sounded quite familiar.

Through the glass, he saw a haughty-looking Daoist in the living room. This Daoist was dressed in black-green Daoist robes, carried an ancient sword on his back, and wore a Jade crown on his head. The robe was embroidered with a sunrise over the East Sea, giving him an otherworldly appearance.

And Chen Yu had seen this guy before. This fellow was exactly the Wangchen who had appeared once when the company of Zhou Qiming, the owner of the factory that did contract work for Yan Roujin's company, had an incident.

At that time, this guy wanted one million for a single ghost-drawn Talisman. If Chen Yu had not stopped it, Zhou Qiming would have truly spent that unjust money.

This guy had some ability, but no real talent; he just swindled ignorant rich people. Chen Yu had called out A Fu at the time, scaring him so much that he scrambled away while promising never to swindle again.

He did not expect this guy to have left the Fengling area and come to the Ning City area to swindle, and his reputation seemed even more booming than before.

"Master, the patient is inside. I am truly sorry, some ignorant kid came along. Please don't be angry; I will go chase him away right now," Wang Xin said with a smile.

"Hmph, there are more and more charlatans in the world. I'd like to see what kind of background the person inside has," Wangchen lowered his eyes slightly, snorted coldly, and then looked toward the room.
