134: Chapter 133 This is Not an Illness at All_1 134: Chapter 133 This is Not an Illness at All_1 Lu Chuan stood at the entrance of the Tang Residence, examining the imposing house before him.

On his way here, he had already inquired about the Tang family’s situation and learned that they had recently invested heavily in a real estate project named Cloud Mists Villa.

However, for some reason, the project had been plagued with incidents lately, with three people having jumped from the buildings, and others claiming to have seen ghosts when passing by the villa at night.

Suddenly, the once-certainly lucrative real estate project in a golden location was pushed to the forefront of public controversy, turning into a property nobody dared to buy and causing a massive setback for the Tang family.

Even the Tang Family Patriarch, Tang Shouli, was bedridden over the ordeal and couldn’t be cured by countless doctors.

Rumors suggested he was possessed by a ghost, which made people even more reluctant to touch the properties of Cloud Mists Villa.

“It seems that the trouble Abbess Yanyue asked me to resolve is to find out the cause of the hauntings at Cloud Mists Villa and help the Tang family overcome this adversity,” he mused.

“But then again, Abbess Yanyue keeps saying my grandfather let her down, but in the end, didn’t she also have a child with someone else?

It’s been so long since then, why does she have to trouble my grandfather about it?”

Lu Chuan sighed, feeling these older people’s love lives were even more melodramatic than those of young people.

Not long after, the servant who went to announce his arrival hurried back and gestured for Lu Chuan to enter, saying, “Mr.

Lu, the Family Head invites you in.”

Lu Chuan nodded and followed the servant toward the interior of the Tang Residence.

The servant led him to the bedroom where Tang Shouli was resting.

All eyes turned to look at him.

Yundie sized up Lu Chuan and asked, “Who are you?

What do you want with our Tang family?”

Lu Chuan greeted her with a clasped hands and said, “My name is Lu Chuan.

I am entrusted to help the Tang family get through this crisis.”

“Entrusted by someone…” Yundie murmured to herself, “Could it really be that mother foresaw this calamity for the Tang family ages ago, and also predicted that the person who would help us would arrive today, leaving behind those words in the silk pouch?”

“If that’s the case, then the second silk pouch…”

She turned her head to Tang Yurou, “Could Yurou’s other half really be a man surnamed Lu?

Is this what mother predicted?”

She, too, subconsciously thought that the note meant “to have Yurou marry a man surnamed Lu,” as it sounded reasonable.

It surely couldn’t say “to have Yurou stay away from a man surnamed Lu” or “to have Yurou avoid a man surnamed Lu.”

Tang Shouli, lying on the bed, said excitedly, “Good!

With young friend Lu Chuan’s assistance, our Tang family will definitely be able to get through this crisis!”

Yundie also nodded to Lu Chuan and said, “Then we thank you for your help.”

Lu Chuan looked baffled and thought to himself, by normal standards, shouldn’t the Tang family be skeptical of him first?

Why did they all act as if he was surely going to help the Tang family through the tough times?

Could it be that the Tang family had reached a point of desperation?

As Lu Chuan pondered, Tang Yurou, somewhat angrily, stood up and said, “Dad, Mom, this guy looks very ordinary and doesn’t seem capable of helping our Tang family at all.

You can’t just take him at his word because of what was written on those notes, those might have been just a joke by grandma!”

She had no objection to the content of the first note, but she stood up in opposition because of the second note.

She believed that the note was about her marrying a man with the Lu surname.

And the man who had come to offer help just happened to have that surname, clearly forcing her to marry this unremarkable man!

Tang Yurou had shown great intelligence since childhood and had always been among the finest of her peers.

After graduating from a prestigious university, she was even praised as Qingyang’s leading female scholar by the literary community in Qingyang City.

All these honors made her proud from a young age.

Although she was not showy and always maintained a low profile, in her mind, her partner had to be at least a young talent.

And now, Lu Chuan appeared unremarkable and without a hint of scholarly aura; of course, she was very unwilling.

That’s why she stood up in opposition.

Lu Chuan didn’t know what Tang Yurou was referring to by the notes, but seeing there was finally a sane person in the Tang family, he was slightly relieved and said with a smile, “Miss, I understand that my arrival might seem suspicious, but I do have a way to help the Tang family through this dilemma.”

Tang Yurou looked at Lu Chuan disdainfully and said, “I see no hope in you.”

“If you really believe you have the ability, then cure my father’s illness first.

If you can cure him, I will believe you.

If not, you’d better leave promptly, instead of trying to deceive our family!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan turned to look at Tang Shouli lying in bed and said with a smile, “Alright, then I shall begin by treating his illness.”

Tang Yurou’s eyes widened, thinking that this man was overstepping his bounds.

She had just wanted him to back off!

She quickly added, “You…

don’t bite off more than you can chew.

We’ve had numerous renowned doctors treat my father’s illness to no avail.

It’s not as simple as you think, so don’t overexert yourself!”

Lu Chuan laughed and replied, “They couldn’t cure your father because what he has isn’t an illness.”

Tang Yurou was immediately taken aback, “If it’s not an illness, then what is it?”

Lu Chuan didn’t answer but instead approached the bed, inspected Tang Shouli’s condition, and requested, “Bring me a bowl of water, a bowl of chicken blood, a writing brush, and some yellow talisman paper.”

He had felt a pervasive evil aura in the room upon entering, filled with a Yin evil force, which seemed to be emanating from Tang Shouli himself.

This condition was usually caused by an overexposure to objects with Yin evil energy.

For practiced individuals, it was easy to break such curses.

Eager to see if the silk pouch left by her mother was reliable, Yundie instructed, “Fetch what he has asked for.”

Someone immediately went to prepare the things Lu Chuan needed.

Tang Yurou said, “Mom, this guy doesn’t look reliable at all.

What if he makes Dad’s condition worse?

In my opinion, we should just kick him out.”

Yundie stared at Lu Chuan and said, “Anyway, your dad won’t live much longer.

The Tang family is in a crisis.

If he really is the turning point, what’s the harm in your dad sacrificing a little?”

Tang Yurou was left speechless.

Lying in bed, Tang Shouli had a forced smile on his face and said, “Exactly, exactly.”

But in his mind, he was really complaining, “Thanks a lot!”

Soon, someone brought over the items that Lu Chuan needed.

Lu Chuan picked up the writing brush, first dipped it in clear water, then dipped it in chicken blood, and drew a peculiar talisman on the yellow talisman paper.

He rolled up the talisman, walked over to Tang Shouli, and said, “Open your mouth.”

Tang Shouli immediately did as told, opening his mouth wide.

Lu Chuan stuffed the talisman straight into Tang Shouli’s mouth.

Tang Shouli was caught off guard and nearly choked on the talisman, but after some difficulty, he managed to swallow it.

Tang Yurou, anxious, said, “I think you’re just fooling around.

Get out of here now!

My Tang family doesn’t need a fraud like you to save us!”

No sooner had she finished speaking than Tang Shouli began to tremble uncontrollably on the bed.

At the same time, a thick black vapor started seeping out from his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears, which looked extremely frightening.

The people of the Tang family quickly stepped aside to avoid it.

Lu Chuan, however, pinched a gesture with both hands and lightly pointed at the emerging black vapor, which then all gathered at the tip of his fingers.

Without hesitation, Lu Chuan took another sheet of yellow talisman paper, dipped it in chicken blood, then shouted softly, and the yellow talisman paper ignited.

He directed the flame towards the condensed black vapor.

Boom!

The mass of black vapor was instantly lit, raising the temperature of the entire room by several degrees and causing everyone to shiver in fear.

But after the flame passed, the black vapor completely disappeared, and the previously cold room returned to normal.

Yundie looked over at Tang Shouli and saw that his complexion had regained its rosiness.

The appearance of a dead man had vanished without a trace, and he seemed much more lively, though he still appeared somewhat weak after lying in bed for many days.

Lu Chuan, smiling, asked Tang Shouli, “Family Head Tang, how do you feel?”

Taking a deep breath, Tang Shouli said with a satisfied face, “I feel much better now.”

The Tang family members were all amazed, unable to believe that the illness no doctor could cure had been treated by Lu Chuan in such a manner.

Tang Yurou, disbelief written all over her face as she looked at her father, muttered to herself, “He…

he actually cured him…”

Yundie, looking pleased, glanced at Lu Chuan and said with a smile, “It seems that you are indeed the turning point for my Tang family.”

She walked to the bedside, looked at Tang Shouli, and said indignantly, “You old fool, worrying me so much.”

Tang Shouli grabbed Yundie’s hand, chuckled, and said, “I always knew my wife was all bark and no bite, just like my mother-in-law.”

Yundie glared at him, “Get lost.”

Lu Chuan couldn’t help but laugh, thinking to himself that it was certainly true.

Tang Shouli sat up in bed and beckoned Lu Chuan over, saying, “Young Brother Lu Chuan, come here.”

Lu Chuan walked over.

Tang Shouli grasped Lu Chuan, looking him over from left to right as if examining a relic, trying to understand every detail about him.

After a good while, he nodded his head very satisfied and said, “Good, very good.

My mother-in-law’s judgment is never wrong, and you’ve saved me a lot of trouble.”

Lu Chuan, not understanding, asked, “Family Head Tang, what do you mean by that?”

Tang Shouli laughed heartily and said, “Nothing, nothing, I just like young people like you.

You see, a talent like you, standing next to my daughter, would truly make a handsome couple!”

Upon hearing this, Tang Yurou immediately shouted in anger, “Dad, don’t talk nonsense!”

Tang Shouli paid no attention to Tang Yurou’s reaction; in his mind, he had already decided that Lu Chuan was his son-in-law.

Lu Chuan was lost, not understanding what was going with this family.

Not wanting to waste time, he directly asked, “Family Head Tang, you might as well tell me how you came to be possessed by this malevolent energy, so I can help the Tang family solve its trouble.”
