3511 Distrust
As he listened to her remarks and saw her smug look, Xuanyuan Mo Ze nodded in agreement with a smile curving on his lips. “Hmm, she is indeed very powerful.”
“Hehe, this Ghost Doctor is not only skilled in medicine but is also said to be unparalleled in alchemy. It’s just a pity that we are not on the same continent. What’s more, our Skylink Monarch seems to want to take over their continent. I heard that relations between their people and us are tense. Alas!” Yu Chengde sighed, feeling quite helpless.
Whoever the monarch of their continent was didn’t mean much to them. However, if the monarchs were to fight, the common people and families on both sides would undoubtedly suffer.
“I happen to know a little bit about medicine. I can examine your father,” Feng Jiu stood up and dusted her azure robe lightly.
Yu Chengde was stunned for a moment. Before he could say anything, he saw Madam Ling already heading towards the carriage. He hurriedly followed her, saying, “Madam Ling, many physicians couldn’t find the cause of my father’s illness, you…”
He didn’t understand why Madam Ling suddenly offered to treat his father. Did she know medicine? He had already said that his father’s illness did not get better after seeing the most famous doctor. How could she, who only knew a bit about medicine, heal him? Perhaps she couldn’t even diagnose his father’s illness.
He worried that she might hurt his father more than help by experimenting on him, but he didn’t want to make her lose face, so he was in a dilemma about what to do.
When Madam Yu saw this, she went up to Feng Jiu and whispered, “Madam Ling, I’m afraid my father-in-law’s health can’t take any more stress. If something goes wrong, we…”
Feng Jiu, who had been looking closely at the elderly man lying inside the carriage, paused. She immediately understood what they meant. She thought they had been waiting for her to treat the elderly man’s illness, but when she was too eager to help, they didn’t trust her medical skills.
She couldn’t help but smile as she realised this. “I understand. However, from what I can see, your family’s old patriarch is not actually sick.”
“Not sick? That’s impossible,” Yu Chengde was stunned. “My father shows no signs of injury or poisoning. If he’s not sick, then what is it?”
“It’s the heart corrosion gu.” Feng Jiu explained, glancing at the old man in the carriage, “Although I haven’t taken his pulse yet, I’m sure of it.”
“Gu?”
“How could such a wicked thing be in my father’s body?” exclaimed the Yu couple. “Such a thing is not only unheard of for us, but even the major families in the city have never encountered such a wicked entity. Nobody would keep such an evil gu.”
Feng Jiu went back and sat down next to Xuanyuan Mo Ze.
Yu Chengde and his wife hurriedly followed. “Madam Ling, if it really is a gu, can you solve it?”
“I can, but it’s a bit troublesome,” Feng Jiu said. Seeing their anxious faces, she added: “I can’t solve it right now, I don’t have the necessary items.”
Yu Chengde became excited when he heard this. “So, you mean that if you have the items, you can solve it?”
“Mm, that’s right.” Feng Jiu nodded.
Yu Chengde was delighted when he heard this. “When we get back to the city, Madam Ling, just tell me what you need and I’ll have it ready!”
