Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When Kong Rui arrived at the room where the old man was treating people, she heard the old man shout in the room, “You want me to treat these minor illnesses? Does your mentor pay you guys for free?”

Hearing the old man’s energetic voice, Kong Rui, who was standing at the door, felt her ears buzz. She could imagine how everyone in the room would react.

After a long while, Kong Rui knocked on the door and walked in.

When the old man saw Kong Rui, his originally gloomy expression immediately lit up. Kong Rui took a few steps forward and sat in front of the old man. “Why are you here?” The old man sighed helplessly. “Last night, my unfilial disciple sent a message. He said that he probably won’t be back for ten days to half a month. 1 was worried that some critical patients wouldn’t be able to be treated in time, so I came to help!”

“That stupid disciple of mine has few reliable workers even after so many years! How useless!”

Seeing the old man’s resentful expression and the thick stack of prescriptions beside him, Kong Rui smiled slightly.

Seeing Kong Rui smile, the old man asked, “Are you here for a consultation today?”

…..

Kong Rui shook her head and thought for a moment before saying, “I heard that someone has been using a secret technique recently, so 1 came to see if you’re back. I want to ask if you know what’s going on.”

When the old man heard this, his expression changed slightly, but he didn’t say anything.

When Kong Rui saw the old man’s expression, she guessed that he might know something.

However, if he was unwilling to tell her, Kong Rui probably wouldn’t be able to get anything out of him.

Kong Rui was hesitating when she heard someone at the door say, “Someone outside is dying. Hurry up and take a look!”

The old man frowned impatiently, but he didn’t stop walking.

Kong Rui wasn’t interested in watching, but she heard someone ask, “Doesn’t that person deserve to die?”

Kong Rui paused and followed the old man out.

As soon as she reached the hall of the medical hall, Kong Rui asked about the gloomy aura of death in the air.

In the middle of the hall, a person with an ashen face and on his last breath was lying on a wooden shelf and being carried in.

When Kong Rui looked at the person from afar, she saw that his skin and flesh were already cracked. He even emitted a stench.

He didn’t smell like a living person, but like someone who had been dead for a few days. But that person was clearly still breathing. How could he be a “dead person”?

“What’s wrong with this person?” Some people looked in from afar. They were curious about how this person had become like this.

An insider sighed and said, “Isn’t this Stone, the guard from the Li family?!”

“I heard that not long after he went out with the First Elder of the Li family, he fell ill!”

“At that time, they found a doctor, who said that he had been poisoned and wouldn’t live for more than a few days.”

“His family even prepared his funeral and was ready to bury him.”

“Then, one day, he suddenly recovered!”

“At that time, the two elders of the Shi family were terrified. They thought that their precious son had been possessed!”

“Their family is also strange. Isn’t it a good thing that this person has recovered? Why do they think that he’s possessed?!” Someone questioned.

“Sigh, after he recovered, he kept repeating something.” The person continued to explain.

“Other than being on duty at the Li family every day, he doesn’t do anything else!”

“It’s said that this person woke up sickly in the morning, but when he returned on duty, he was full of vigor!”

“Some people even said that the Li family’s feng shui is good, since he became much more energetic after he entered!”
