Chapter 51: Chapter 51: The Frenzy of the Dead_1
"She’s a pretty woman named Lu Hongxia. Not only is she Bian Runze’s assistant, but also his favorite student, his beautiful student!"
As Yu Keqing said this, a sneer formed at the corner of her mouth. She had concluded that Lu Hongxia and Bian Runze must be having an affair.
"The fact that you sought out Bian Runze eighteen times, I will inform him of that. But first, I will treat your daughter. What your daughter has is not an illness, but an evil spirit clinging to her!"
"An evil spirit clinging to her? Heh, so you’re a little con artist?"
At that moment, Shen Baojie arrived.
His arrival surprised Qin Feng.
Yu Keqing had paid a high price to invite Shen Baojie, and they had agreed to meet half an hour earlier.
Shen Baojie’s belated arrival was clearly him putting on airs, which upset her somewhat. So, Yu Keqing seized upon Qin Feng’s words to fan the flames.
"Divine Doctor Shen arrives fashionably late. Could it be for fear of being reprimanded by your esteemed master?"
Yu Keqing’s words puzzled Shen Baojie. He looked at her with a baffled expression and asked, "Mrs. Yu, what do you mean by that? I don’t have any master. My teacher is well advanced in age, and my grandmaster passed away five years ago."
Yu Keqing pointed at Qin Feng and asked, "Isn’t this him?"
Although Qin Feng wasn’t standing in a corner, making him visible as soon as one entered the door, Shen Baojie, who was too proud, simply hadn’t noticed him.
So, when Yu Keqing pointed her finger at Qin Feng, Shen Baojie was shocked.
Qin Feng had made him lose face in front of Ouyang Bingbing, and Shen Baojie could hold a grudge for a lifetime.
Yu Keqing’s words left Shen Baojie somewhat confused. To clarify the situation, he asked, "Mrs. Yu, what did you mean by what you said just now?"
"This Divine Doctor Qin here says he has a disciple named Bian Runze. Isn’t Divine Doctor Bian your master? Since Divine Doctor Qin is your master’s master, naturally, you should respectfully address him as ’Grandmaster’, right?"
"Because of traffic, I was half an hour late. It is my fault for making Mrs. Yu wait, and I apologize. But, Mrs. Yu, you should not humiliate me like this! What is he? How could he be my grandmaster? If he were my grandmaster, wouldn’t I recognize him?"
Qin Feng took over the conversation, reminding him cheerfully, "We met just a couple of days ago. Have you already forgotten me, your humble disciple?"
"Who says I don’t recognize you? I’d know you even if you turned to ashes! You swindler, you wandered around Rende Hospital, peddling falsehoods until you got kicked out. And today, you have the nerve to come here and deceive Mrs. Yu?"
Shen Baojie’s words, combined with Qin Feng’s earlier diagnosis of Duoduo being plagued by an evil spirit, made Yu Keqing instantly decide that Qin Feng was a fraud!
Furious, Yu Keqing pointed at Liu Haitao’s nose and shouted.
"Mr. Liu, I’ve been good to you over the years, haven’t I? So many people wanted the Huanmei Group’s distributorship, yet I didn’t grant it to any of them, sticking with your Kuoyang Shangmao. But today, you’ve truly disappointed me! You actually brought this swindler to deceive me? I hereby announce that Huanmei Group’s cooperation with Kuoyang Shangmao is terminated immediately! Now, take this little cheat and get out!"
Qin Feng ignored Yu Keqing and instead grabbed Duoduo’s wrist to take her pulse.
"The evil spirit clinging to her has already attacked the heart chamber. If she’s not treated promptly, your daughter has at most one hour left."
This comment made Shen Baojie quite happy.
He sneered and taunted, "Evil spirits entwining the body? You little con artist, if you’re going to lie to people, you should at least do some homework! This low-level trick of evil spirits entwining the body is only good enough to fool ignorant village women. Trying to fool Mrs. Yu with this, you’re insulting her intelligence!"
"Get out of my way! Don’t delay Divine Doctor Shen from treating my daughter!" Yu Keqing pulled Qin Feng aside.
This woman was strong, and her fingernails were quite long. When pulling him, her nails scraped Qin Feng’s wrist. Although it didn’t break the skin, it left a bloody mark.
"I kindly offer to treat your daughter and you dare to hurt me? I know very well what Shen Baojie is capable of; he definitely won’t be able to save your daughter. But rest assured, adhering to the principle of a healer’s benevolence, I will save your daughter after Shen Baojie fails. However, the fact that you scratched me, that must be noted. Once I’ve cured your daughter, I’ll settle all accounts with you in full."
Spiritual Energy was useful for Qin Feng’s cultivation, and so was the evil spirit.
The Xuanhuang Qi was like the vast sea. Spiritual Energy was the rivers, and the evil spirit was the streams. The sea needed both the rivers and the streams.
Qin Feng’s words directly infuriated Shen Baojie.
"You little liar, stop spouting nonsense here! What do you mean I won’t be able to save Mrs. Yu’s daughter? If I can’t save her, do you think you, a little scammer, can?"
"You unfilial disciple, has your memory been eaten by a dog? No need to use interrogative sentences for things that have already happened!"
"You little swindler, just watch how I save Duoduo!"
It wasn’t just about steamed buns, it was for pride! Today, Shen Baojie was determined to prove himself to Qin Feng and to reclaim the face he had lost that day at Rende Hospital.
For the sake of caution, this time Shen Baojie didn’t play any tricks. He sat next to the sickbed, placed his fingers on Duoduo’s wrist, closed his eyes slightly, and quietly felt her pulse.
Three minutes later, Shen Baojie took his hand back and asked Yu Keqing, "Mrs. Yu, what symptoms does your daughter usually have?"
"She is often very cold all over her body, and she likes to talk in her sleep at night. Sometimes, she’ll have convulsions and foam at the mouth..."
Yu Keqing detailed all the symptoms that Duoduo had shown.
After listening, Shen Baojie understood the situation by combining the pulse he felt just now.
"The disease Duoduo has is very common, yet very rare. It’s common because it is epilepsy, commonly known as ’sheep epilepsy.’ It’s rare because Duoduo’s epilepsy isn’t ordinary epilepsy."
"If it’s not ordinary epilepsy, what kind is it?"
"Duoduo’s epilepsy comes with a condition of cold blood. This disease has a frightening name: ’corpse epilepsy.’ With ordinary epilepsy, at most, there would be convulsions after an episode. With corpse epilepsy, during an episode, the body turns as cold as a corpse. Every attack is like a trip to the gates of hell.
Corpse epilepsy is extremely rare, and few doctors can diagnose it. There are only two Divine Doctors in the world who know how to treat it, and you, Mrs. Yu, are lucky to have me. Even if you had invited my teacher, he might not have been able to do anything."
The last sentence by Shen Baojie took Yu Keqing by surprise.
"Are you saying that neither of those two Divine Doctors you mentioned is your teacher, Divine Doctor Bian?"
"The student surpasses the master! My teacher is well-known, but he rarely treats patients himself. If he encounters common ailments, he passes them to his junior siblings. For difficult and complex diseases, he has always entrusted them to me, his eldest disciple. The apprentice cures the disease, but the master gets the fame!"
