Chapter 945: Chapter 942: Unclean Things

However, regardless of how complicated Jiang Xiu Ying’s feelings were, the people of the Yun Family finally breathed a sigh of relief. This sigh had been held in for twenty years, and today, it was finally released.

Although the old man still couldn’t walk, his life was no longer in danger. As long as he’s alive, everything else can be resolved.

"Lin Tian, our Yun Family owes you a massive debt of gratitude. Just tell us what you want; if the Yun Family can provide it, we absolutely won’t be stingy." Yun Haoyu said excitedly.

Actually, he was exaggerating. If Lin Tian asked for all of the Yun Family’s assets, Yun Haoyu couldn’t possibly agree. Not to mention all of it, even half would be impossible. Even if he did agree, the rest of the Yun Family wouldn’t. He was just overly excited because his father was suddenly saved.

Lin Tian had no intention of asking for any property. Instead, he calmly said, "Uncle Yun, you’re being too formal. I promised Xiao Tian this, and now I’m just fulfilling that promise. The old man has just started to recover a bit; he still needs a period of rest. I’ve stimulated his acupoints, and he should wake up by tomorrow morning."

"He shouldn’t exert himself too much these days. He should focus on resting and preparing for the next step of treatment." Lin Tian advised.

"Alright, alright, we’ll do as you say. I’ll push my father back to rest now." Yun Haoyu said excitedly. He then instructed Yun Xiaotian, "Xiaotian, accompany Lin Tian. If he has any requests, make sure you take care of them, understand?"

"Dad, I understand." Yun Xiaotian was even happier than Yun Haoyu and agreed wholeheartedly.

Yun Haoyu pushed the wheelchair away, and Jiang Xiu Ying left with him, probably to monitor the old man’s condition at any time. However, Zi Yan stayed behind, as did Wang Wanxi, while the bodyguards outside dispersed.

"Junior Brother, what on earth happened just now? Look at the surrounding bonsai and flowers; they all look withered as if struck by winter frost," Zi Yan asked, puzzled.

"Yes, Xiao Tian, I felt a wave of coldness emerging from the secret room just now. As the healer, you were at the forefront. Are you alright?" Wang Wanxi asked with concern.

Such matters definitely couldn’t be told truthfully. One couldn’t possibly say that the yin energy was extracted using zombie blood.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Tian half-truthfully said, "The Ancient Martial arts I practice are quite unique; they can expel yin energy. Just as the yin energy was leaving the body, it resisted a bit, causing the cold outbreak. However, I have a Divine Skill protecting me, immune to all poisons, so a little cold can’t affect me."

"I’m increasingly curious about what kind of Ancient Martial arts you practice, but you don’t need to tell me. As a Martial Artist, I know the rules of the Ancient Martial World: without personal consent, you can’t casually inquire about others’ Cultivation Techniques." Wang Wanxi said with curiosity.

"Junior Brother, what’s your plan for the next step of treatment?" Zi Yan asked.

"I haven’t thought of anything specific yet. I need to go back and consider the treatment plan. Fortunately, the old man is not in life-threatening danger anymore, so I can take my time to think it through." Lin Tian didn’t provide an immediate answer.

"How about this, Aunt Wang, Xiaotian, you should head back too. You probably didn’t rest well last night and need to rest a bit. I also need to go back and contemplate quietly." Lin Tian suggested.

Upon hearing that Lin Tian needed quiet to think about the treatment plan, Wang Wanxi and Yun Xiaotian had no choice but to leave, but they reminded him to ask for anything he needed.

Zi Yan was about to turn and leave as well, but Lin Tian called her back, "Senior Sister, please wait."

Zi Yan turned around, looking at Lin Tian curiously, and then suddenly smiled charmingly, "Junior Brother, you kept your Senior Sister here in broad daylight. What are you up to?"

"I would like to do something with you, Senior Sister, but as you said, it’s broad daylight now. How about we meet up tonight?" Lin Tian joked, finally teasing back after always being teased by his Senior Sister, otherwise he’d lose out.

Zi Yan cast Lin Tian a sidelong glance, feigning anger, "Don’t talk nonsense with your Senior Sister. If you have something to say, say it. Otherwise, I’m heading back for my beauty sleep."

Beauty sleep? You’re already so beautiful, and if you become any more beautiful, how could men survive without bumping into utility poles while walking? Lin Tian thought to himself sarcastically.

But that was just a thought. He still directly said, "Didn’t you mention that there was an issue with the branch store? What exactly is the problem? Tell me and see if I can help you, Senior Sister. Anyway, I’ll be staying in Jinghua City for a while."

Zi Yan looked at Lin Tian, seemingly thinking his words made sense, then said, "Actually, it’s not really a big deal, but also not too small, and it’s a bit tricky."

"You know my shop mainly serves female clients. Not long ago, a VIP female client encountered an issue." Zi Yan frowned slightly, which seemed to indicate it was indeed a bit tricky.

"Did she die? And die in the shop?" Lin Tian bluntly guessed.

"Ugh, who died? If someone died, would I still be able to stand here calmly talking to you?" Zi Yan rolled her eyes at Lin Tian and spat.

"Aside from death, what else could trouble Senior Sister?" Lin Tian asked with increased curiosity.

After thinking for a moment, Zi Yan said, "I don’t know how to tell you this. This VIP female client is a regular, and I have a bit of a relationship with her. A while ago, she suddenly collapsed, and it happened while she was getting a beauty treatment in the shop. Despite being taken to the hospital, they didn’t find any major issues, just said she seemed a bit weak."

"After getting an IV and regaining consciousness, I visited her post-discharge and found that she seemed different, like..."

Zi Yan pondered for a long time and finally seemed to find the right words, "She looked devoid of vitality, sickly. But she wasn’t like this before; she was healthy and only thirty, in her prime, with no severe medical history."

"The hospital didn’t find any illness?" Lin Tian found it odd and couldn’t help but ask.

"No, the hospital did every possible examination, and I know a little about medicine too. There’s really no major illness, just as the hospital said, a bit weak." Zi Yan replied.

"Have you had your master diagnose her?" Lin Tian asked again.

Zi Yan shook her head, "No, my master is either busy with the lab or the old man’s illness. How could I disturb him for diagnosis? Besides, the hospital already said it’s not a big illness."

"I see, aren’t you a fortune teller? Why not draw a fortune and take a look?" Lin Tian retorted.

"Do you think the Imperial Pole Worldly Book can be used casually? However, I did use ordinary methods to draw a fortune, and it was ominous, with indications that she might have attracted some unclean things, though I’m not sure." Zi Yan said uncertainly.

"Unclean things? What do you mean?" Lin Tian was momentarily puzzled and asked curiously.

"Demons and ghosts, could be anything. But I’m not a Demon Exorcist, so I can’t see anything. Upon thinking, it might be an illness or perhaps another cause. Although she’s alright now, there’s no guarantee something won’t happen unexpectedly. Considering she fainted in my shop, I must take responsibility for that." Zi Yan explained.
