Chapter 526: Due to Worry

~8 min read 1,480 words

"It's not a big problem. One dose of traditional Chinese medicine and you'll be recovered in a week. However, the root of Miss Ye's illness is that sorrow harms the lungs; this is a knot in the heart. If this heart-knot isn't removed, the illness will still recur in the future." Chen Yu shook his head.

"This..." Ye Qingning was somewhat hesitant. She was wavering, not knowing whether she should speak of her own problem.

Seeing Ye Qingning's hesitation, Chen Yu smiled. He stood up and said, "Alright, the meal is finished. Thank you, President Wu, for your hospitality. If there's nothing else, I'll be heading back."

"Little Chen, don't be in such a rush. Qingning just arrived; you two should have a good chat." Wu Zhangjiang was taken aback. He had originally thought Chen Yu could solve the problem facing the Ye Family, but he hadn't expected Chen Yu to leave. Where had something gone wrong?

"Miss Ye clearly doesn't trust me. In how I conduct myself and my affairs, I value fate. Since Miss Ye has unspeakable secrets, then please let her seek someone more capable." Chen Yu glanced at Ye Qingning and stood up to leave.

Ye Qingning hurriedly stood up. Her mouth opened, wanting to call out to Chen Yu, but in the end, she still didn't make a sound.

Not until Chen Yu had left did she slump back down and let out a faint sigh.

"Qingning, Chen Yu is not someone an ordinary person can compare to. How could you, sigh..." Wu Zhangjiang stamped his foot.

"Uncle Wu, it's not that I don't trust him, but the family matter involves my grandfather. Besides, while his medical skills are good, he might not necessarily be able to solve my problem. After all, what we are searching for this time is special."

"Little Chen is that kind of extraordinary person. He is a doctor, but he also understands the Yin-Yang Five Elements and techniques for repelling ghosts and warding off evil." Li Bei pulled her aside and whispered, "Previously, when Yixue encountered something unclean, I could be certain it was ghost possession."

"We searched for so many people and had no way, but when Little Chen appeared, he solved it directly." Li Bei sighed, "And my daughter's classmate had the same problem; he took action and solved it all at once."

"Does he really have abilities in this area?" Ye Qingning's breathing became somewhat rapid. "Auntie, my grandfather is suffering from a malignant disease and must have a 'Cranberry Flowing Heart' as a medicinal guide."

"But this medicine already belongs to the Yuan Grade High Quality, a Half-Spirit Grade substance; it can almost be called an Immortal medicine. I asked many experts before I learned that only in the deep mountains west of Ning City, where the Dragon Veins intersect, does this Immortal medicine exist."

"But this kind of medicine is something one can encounter but not seek. Although I found the Metaphysics World master Chen Daozi to accompany me, even he doesn't have absolute certainty. If Chen Yu truly has this ability, wouldn't their chances of success be greater?"

"That goes without saying. Your grandfather is my old superior; I have always kept his affairs in mind." Wu Zhangjiang stamped his foot and said, "I have already sent people to investigate Chen Yu's background."

"He comes from Fengling, where he is almost a legend. He is the master of Luo Huichun of Medicine God Mountain, holds the Taibao Order, and even the Martial Ancestor expert Zhang Xiaojiu is willing to take him as a teacher. If such an expert is willing to help, it is truly fate, but you... sigh..."

"Uncle Wu, I'm sorry." Ye Qingning finally felt some regret. "I will chase after him right now and apologize to him."

"Don't. It's useless to chase after him now. Slowly get to know him." Li Bei thought for a moment and said, "After all, he is an expert; we cannot consider him with the mindset of an ordinary person. We'll think of a way later."

"Right, your Aunt Li is correct. You should stay in Ning City and stabilize for now; after all, the matter of seeking the medicine is not something to rush." Wu Zhangjiang also said.

"Alright, thank you, Uncle Wu." Ye Qingning nodded.

Leaving the hotel, Chen Yu was planning to head back when suddenly a dark cloud swept over, and the moon was shrouded by layers of dark clouds.

Immediately following, a gust of sinister wind attacked from behind. He turned his head to look and saw a mass of black energy slowly encroaching, with a trace of sinister, sharp aura vaguely carried within the black energy.

Moreover, this energy field was more or less familiar. That's right, it was precisely the corpse energy emitted from the body of Liu Suiyue of the Corpse Controller clan.

"Since you've come, then come out. What are you being sneaky for?" Chen Yu said indifferently.

A red shadow flashed, and the charming and alluring Liu Suiyue walked over slowly with light steps. She smiled and said, "Little handsome, your perception is quite good. I hadn't even appeared yet, and you could already sense that I had arrived."

"Does this require perception?" Chen Yu smiled. "I could smell the corpse energy on you from several miles away."

Liu Suiyue's expression suddenly became somewhat ugly. What Chen Yu said was indeed a fact; as the last descendant of the Corpse Controller clan, she dealt with corpses almost all day long.

Although she used the Corpse Illusion Technique to change herself into a young and beautiful appearance, her ugly true self could not be changed. Her heart was actually extremely sensitive and inferior.

"Little handsome, don't speak so harshly." Liu Suiyue's face only changed for a moment before she put on a smiling expression again. "We can chat."

"There's nothing to chat about." Chen Yu said indifferently. "Your intention is to harm He Lingyun, and I am here to protect her. There is nothing to discuss regarding this matter."

"He Lingyun is neither related to you nor an acquaintance; why are you so nervous about her?" Liu Suiyue giggled. "Could it be that my charm is not as attractive as a middle-aged woman?"

"I respect her as an elder. If you dare to speak so recklessly again, believe it or not, I will slap you across the face." Chen Yu said coldly.

"Giggle, I just like how overbearing you are." Liu Suiyue laughed coquettishly. "However, Chen Yu, if you set yourself against me, you won't have a good end."

"That's a coincidence; I just happen to want to set myself against you. I'd like to see exactly who won't have a good end." Chen Yu stared at her and said, "Now I want to clarify one thing: who is the person standing behind you, and why do you want to harm He Lingyun?"

"There is no one behind me. I am a descendant of the Corpse Controller clan, living in the deep mountains all year round. Anyone who passes by my inn is turned into a Walking Corpse for me to command." Liu Suiyue said leisurely. "Those two just happened to be encountered by me."

"Is that so? I'm afraid it's not that simple." Chen Yu said. "Liu Suiyue, let's be direct. What is your relationship with that young master of the He Family?"

"I have no relationship with He Lingzhou." Liu Suiyue denied it directly.

"I said the young master of the He Family; I didn't say his name was He Fanzhou. What do you call this? A confession without being pressed?" Chen Yu smiled. This woman's intelligence was simply stupid to the extreme.

"Chen Yu, enough nonsense." Liu Suiyue was stunned, then said with some embarrassment and anger, "I have no relationship with that young master of the He Family; we've just rolled in the sheets a few times."

"I also admit that he wants his aunt to die, so I'm just helping him out."

"He and you?" Chen Yu was shocked. Liu Suiyue's true appearance was hideous, could that young master of the He Family really bring himself to do it?

However, Chen Yu immediately felt relieved. This woman had the Corpse Illusion Technique, with a face of a thousand charms; He Fanzhou was likely unable to see her true appearance.

Thinking of this, Chen Yu placed his phone on a bench by the street and turned on the video mode. After finishing, he walked toward Liu Suiyue.

"What are you doing?" Liu Suiyue looked at Chen Yu, puzzled.

"Nothing much, I just want to let that young master of the He Family see your true appearance." Chen Yu grinned. Suddenly, he took a step forward, then his right hand grabbed out, quickly spreading his five claws, and lunged fiercely at Liu Suiyue's face.
