Chapter 40: Let You See What I Can Do

Lin Yang still felt some goodwill toward the old man he had only met once.

"Please speak, elder."

Seeing Lin Yang agree, the old man finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's like this: my son recently came down with a strange illness, and no hospital could cure it."

"Last time his condition worsened, only Divine Doctor Sun managed to suppress it, but even he couldn't cure it completely."

"Just now I saw you use Qi to control the needles, rendering Yang Kaifeng immobile, so I knew you're a master of this art."

Hearing Huang Kai's flattery, Lin Yang smiled and said.

"Elder, don't rush to flatter me; whether I can cure him will only be known after I see him."

Huang Kai laughed heartily and said to Lin Yang.

"Then please follow me."

After walking just a few steps, a Maybach pulled up before them, and the driver got out to open the door for Huang Kai.

Huang Kai hurriedly invited the two to get in the car, heading home.

More than ten minutes later, the vehicle arrived in front of a villa.

Huang Kai walked ahead of the two and invited them to enter the house.

Upon entering the house, a ponytail woman in a nightgown, showing off her long legs, was swaying in the living room.

The ponytail woman looked at the people entering, first startled, then seeing Lin Yang, she screamed and hurried upstairs.

Seeing this, Huang Kai said somewhat embarrassedly.

"My granddaughter is used to being free at home; young man, please don't mind."

Lin Yang laughed, shook his head, and said: "It's fine."

Just as he finished speaking, the sound of hitting the wall and smashing things rang out.

Then a shrill scream came.

Two maids came running out of a room in disarray.

After they came out, upon seeing Huang Kai they said.

"Sir, the young master's illness has flared up again!"

Huang Kai frowned and asked: "He usually only has attacks at night; why did it happen today in the daytime?"

Several maids shook their heads in fear, indicating they didn't know.

At this moment, Lin Yang furrowed his brow.

"Does it flare up at night?"

"Hmm, earlier Divine Doctor Sun said this is a hysteria he's never seen before!"

Upon hearing that, Lin Yang glanced around the room and then said to the old man.

"Take me to see him."

"Sure."

Huang Kai nodded at Lin Yang and walked into the room.

Upon entering the room, Lin Yang furrowed his brow.

It was exactly noon, the time when sunlight is at its best.

Moreover, the room was dark and damp, with all windows sealed shut, not a single ray of sunlight getting in.

Seeing this, Lin Yang frowned and said.

"Has this room always been like this?"

"No, it was only recently made this way; Tiancheng said he felt unwell seeing sunlight, so he had it sealed like this."

Upon hearing that, Lin Yang gave a cold snort and said.

"Doing this, has his condition only gotten worse?"

Saying that, he walked to the bedside and tore open all the curtains sealing the windows.

"Ah!"

Huang Tiancheng on the bed let out a wail and lunged straight at Lin Yang.

When he reached Lin Yang, Lin Yang tapped a finger to his brow, and Huang Tiancheng fainted outright.

Only then did Lin Yang get a clear look at Huang Tiancheng's face.

Now Huang Tiancheng's complexion was deathly pale, with no color in his body, skin and bones, seeming nothing but skin and bone.

Seeing Lin Yang make Huang Tiancheng fall asleep with just a gesture, Huang Kai anxiously asked.

"Young man, how is my son!"

Lin Yang walked over, laid Huang Tiancheng on the bed, and placed two fingers on his neck.

"His qi and blood are severely depleted; his entire essence and energy have been drained."

Huang Kai's face full of worry asked: "Is there any hope!"

"There is, of course, but even if I heal him now, without finding the cause of his illness it's only treating the symptoms, not the root."

Saying that, he looked around the room.

Finally, his gaze fell upon a jade-carved human figure.

Looking at the jade carving, Lin Yang gave a cold chuckle.

"This jade is not bad; who gave it to your son, I suppose?"

"Yeah, what's up?"

Lin Yang picked up the jade carving and gave a cold chuckle.

"The source is right here; this jade carving has been drawn upon by someone, and at night it entangles your son, causing him to hallucinate while it feeds on his essence and blood."

As soon as the words fell, a mocking voice rang out.

"How could my grandfather have invited a quack like this? What era is this, still so feudal and superstitious?"

Huang Baoshang, with two ponytails, wearing a white short-sleeve and hot pants, swayed her long legs as she walked into the room.

"Baoshang, don't mess around!"

Huang Baoshang, hearing this, said unhappily.

"Grandfather, did I say something wrong?"

"Last time Divine Doctor Sun said hysteria could still be explained, but this guy talking about absorbing essence and blood is pure feudal superstition!"

Upon hearing Huang Baoshang's words, Lin Yang gave her a smile.

"Just because you haven't seen something doesn't mean it doesn't exist."

Upon hearing this, Huang Baoshang said.

"Then let me see it, and also cure my dad!"

"If I cure him and make you believe what I say, what will you do?"

Looking at the smile on Lin Yang's face, Huang Baoshang snorted coldly and said.

"If you can make me believe what you say, then... I'll be your maid for a month!"

"If you can't do it, you'll bark like a dog three times."

Lin Yang thought for a moment and asked: "How does a dog bark?"

"Like this, woof woof woof."

Lin Yang, suddenly understanding, said: "Alright, I heard it."

Xu Jing beside them couldn't help laughing upon hearing that.

Huang Baoshang, realizing belatedly, jumped up and down shouting.

"Ah, you swindler, I'm going to kill you!"

Xu Jing, who had a better relationship with Huang Baoshang, immediately stepped forward and grabbed her.

"Baoshang, don't cause trouble, Lin Yang still needs to save your father!"

Huang Baoshang lightly bit her teeth, gave a cold snort, and said.

"Who needs him to save? I've already contacted Divine Doctor Sun; he's already on his way!"

"What a big liar!"

Seeing Huang Baoshang puffing with anger, Lin Yang suddenly felt mischievous.

He had originally planned to treat Huang Tiancheng first, but now he suddenly changed his mind.

He came to the jade carving, bringing it before Huang Baoshang.

"Watch closely!"

He pointed a finger at the jade carving's brow; Spiritual Power instantly burst forth, and a golden light shone.

Then, a piercingly tragic wail suddenly rang out.

"Ah!"

Then, strands of black qi visible to the naked eye rose from the jade carving.

Finally, a bat-shaped phantom appeared, about to fly toward Huang Tiancheng, but Lin Yang swept it away with a flick of his sleeve.

"Ah!"

Everyone who saw this scene was startled.

Huang Baoshang, whose reflexes were a bit slow, suddenly shouted loudly, drawing everyone's attention.

Lin Yang looked at her, smiled, and asked.

"How about it? Do you believe now?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Baoshang's pretty face flushed red then turned pale.

Finally, gritting her teeth, she said: "You haven't even awakened my father yet!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yang, looking at the unconscious Huang Tiancheng, prepared to save him.

Outside, an excited voice sounded.

"Divine Doctor Sun has arrived!"

Upon hearing that Sun Jiacheng had arrived, Huang Baoshang felt a surge of excitement.
