Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1346 - 1346 1305 Treating Illness

1346: Chapter 1305: Treating Illness 1346: Chapter 1305: Treating Illness “Um…

thank you.”

As he walked out of the airport, Lu Chuan suddenly felt someone tugging at the hem of his shirt.

Turning around, he noticed that the woman whose head had been injured earlier had chased after him, clutching a wailing baby in her arms.

“It’s nothing.

I have some band-aids here if you need them.”

“No, no need.

I’ll head to the hospital in a bit to get treated.

If it hadn’t been for you earlier, my child and I might have…”

As she spoke, a chill of fear swept over the woman.

If this man hadn’t grabbed her hand earlier, she and her baby might have been trampled to death in the surging crowd!

“Don’t be afraid.

It’s all over now.”

Looking at the baby in the woman’s arms, Lu Chuan curved his lips into a gentle smile.

With a light poke of his finger to the baby’s chest, the child miraculously stopped crying, leaving the woman utterly astonished.

“How…

did you do that?

My baby cries so fiercely and can hardly ever be consoled when upset.

Thank you, truly.

Could you teach me how to do it?”

“About that…

it’s a secret trick.

Goodbye now, little sweetheart~”

The baby giggled, and Lu Chuan waved lightly before turning to leave the airport.

Just as Tang Shouli’s uncle had mentioned, the Ye Family’s position in Luo City was akin to the Tang Family’s standing in Qingyang City—both were the most powerful families in their respective regions.

As a result, it wasn’t hard for Lu Chuan to track down the Ye Family’s estate.

He flagged down a taxi and headed straight to the Ye Family’s ancestral home.

Unlike the Tang Family, the Ye Family’s ancestral home wasn’t located within the city but rather in the suburbs, sprawling across an expansive estate that included two mountain peaks.

With just a few glances, Lu Chuan could easily discern that the land boasted exceptional feng shui and abundant Spiritual Power—a rare treasure of a location.

More importantly, the Ye Family’s ancestral home was built upon the eye of a dragon vein, which had amplified their influence and prosperity, allowing them to flourish over the past century.

Of course, this was based on Tower Spirit’s analysis, since Lu Chuan was completely clueless when it came to feng shui.

“So, with that being said, does that mean a chosen prodigy is about to emerge from the Ye Family?”

“Not necessarily.

Though the vein’s eye is rich in Spiritual Power, extremes beget opposites.

Beneath the grandeur lies hidden danger.

The Ye Family may soon face a catastrophe that, if handled poorly, could destroy everything they’ve built.”

“This disaster…

could it be me?”

Tower Spirit: “?”

“Where does your unwarranted confidence come from?”

“Haha, just kidding.”

Lu Chuan smirked and exhaled a breath of relief inwardly.

Given the tangled web of causes and forces attached to him, Lu Chuan sincerely hoped to avoid falling out with the Ye Family of Luo City.

Even though he was confident enough to leave Luo City unscathed despite conflicts with the Ye Family, doing so would go against his initial intentions.

With this thought, Lu Chuan took a deep breath, tidied his attire, and knocked on the door of the Ye Family’s ancestral home.

Before long, the door of the Ye Family’s estate slowly creaked open.

A girl, likely around the same age as Tang Yurou, emerged.

However, upon seeing Lu Chuan, her smile froze, replaced by a tightly furrowed brow and a wary stare.

“Who are you?”

“I’m Lu Chuan, from Cloud City.”

“Lu Chuan?

Never heard of you.

Leave at once.

The Ye Family isn’t some place where stray dogs and cats can wander in.”

Hearing this, Lu Chuan frowned slightly but ultimately refrained from snapping back.

In a calm tone, he explained, “Please, miss, could you make an exception?

I’m here to discuss an important matter with the Family Head.”

“Everyone who comes here says that.

Do you have a token?”

“…No.”

“Then why bother talking?

If anyone could waltz in here, what would become of the Ye Family?

Shoo, go wait somewhere else, out of my sight!”

The girl waved her hand impatiently and was about to close the door.

Just then, a servant rushed out, panting heavily with tears in her eyes.

“Miss!

Please come quickly.

The master’s…

his condition has worsened again!”

Upon hearing this, the girl’s face drastically changed, horror flooding her expression.

“But…

but how is that possible!

Didn’t Doctor Xu say my grandfather’s condition was under control?”

“I don’t know, miss.

Please hurry—the master…

he’s growing weaker and weaker!”

Hearing this, the girl wasted no more time and rushed back inside.

Witnessing the scene, Lu Chuan knew his chance had arrived.

Ignoring the servant’s protests, he quickly followed her.

Moving swiftly, they arrived at an independent courtyard built amidst a picturesque pavilion and water garden.

Lu Chuan glanced at the spirit plants growing within and couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

“Why are there so many Hanyu Yian flowers planted here?”

Hanyu Yian is an Extreme Yin flower.

Though its toxicity is potent, prolonged exposure to such an environment allows Yin Qi to pervade one’s body, further weakening their constitution.

Among the thousands of people in the Ye Family estate, could none of them see this?

Feeling puzzled, Lu Chuan had no time to dwell on it.

He rushed into the room, only to hear faint sobs.

Entering further, he saw an elderly man lying on the sickbed, hovering on the brink of death.

The old man’s hair and beard were completely white, his body ravaged by frailty and devoid of vitality; death might claim him at any moment.

Lu Chuan could tell, and so could the physician—dressed man standing by the bed.

“Sigh…

medicine can’t cure terminal illness.

I’ve done all I could, but Old Master Ye’s health…”

“Doctor Xu, how much longer can my grandfather hold on?”

“It’s hard to say.

If nothing unexpected happens, you should begin preparing for his final arrangements.”

At that, the girl’s eyes turned red as she froze in place, as though a string in her heart had been severed, tears streaming uncontrollably.

Meanwhile, Lu Chuan’s brow creased tightly.

Where on earth did they find this quack?

The old man is still alive, so why talk about funeral preparations already?

“The master can still be saved!

Don’t listen to this fraud spouting nonsense.

If he can’t save him, I can!”

“You!

How did you get in here?

Who gave you permission?

Get out now!

This is no place for you to barge around!

Guards, throw him out!”

The girl’s voice turned harsh as she glared at Lu Chuan; her face quickly turned pale from anger.

“You call me a quack?

That’s preposterous!

Throughout Luo City, who doesn’t know of my reputation as Xu Tiangong, the unrivaled physician?

Otherwise, why would the Ye Family invite me to treat the master?

And you—what kind of nobody are you, daring to bark wildly here?”

Xu Tiangong sneered, raising a hand to block the guards who were eager to move, and taunted, “If you claim to have a way to save Old Master Ye, then I’ll lay it out here: if you manage to rescue him from the brink of death, I, Xu Tiangong, will kneel and kowtow three times to you—how about that?”

“Doctor Xu, how can you gamble on my grandfather’s life like this?”

“Miss Ye, Old Master Ye’s condition is hanging by a thread.

Since this man claims he can save the master, why not let him try?

Even if he fails, I still have a potent remedy that might extend the master’s life for a few months.”
