After waiting for a while without receiving a response from Mo Antong, Yan Xiao patiently spoke again:

"Does Master Mo have some other concerns?"

Mo Antong slowly pulled himself out of his thoughts after hearing Yan Xiao's words.

He really wanted to ask Yanxiao where her confidence came from, but after hesitating for a moment, he didn't actually ask.

After all, Yanxiao was the only person in all these years who claimed to be able to cure his daughter, so having hope was better than having none.

Even if the other party is lying to him, he hopes that the other party can lie for a longer time.

"It's nothing. My daughter is in the backyard. If you don't mind, please come with me."

As Mo Antong spoke, he led Yan Xiao toward the backyard. As soon as they arrived, they heard a woman scream in despair, and two other women anxiously trying to comfort her.

"Ah~, get away, all of you get away! Ahhh~"

"Miss, please slow down, Miss."

"Stop running, miss, please stop."

Upon hearing these sounds, Mo Antong paused slightly, hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Yan Xiao, his words tinged with apology:

"Madam, unfortunately, it seems my daughter has fallen ill. She shouldn't be near anyone at this time, especially strangers. Perhaps we should reschedule for another day?"

Yan Xiaolai has already come all this way, how could she possibly go back like this? She's very busy and just wants to get things over with quickly.

"Master Mo is joking. I am a doctor, and it is easier for me to make a diagnosis when the patient is ill. I just said that I am destined to meet your daughter, and this is just the right time."

Mo Antong listened to Yan Xiao's words, thought about it, and felt that there was some truth to it, so he did not stop her, but only reminded her:

"Then please be careful, Madam. When my daughter has an attack, she will run around wildly. Please be careful not to hurt your precious body."

"Yes, I will be careful."

Yan Xiao nodded and continued walking towards the source of the sound.

After passing a side door, you arrive at the backyard.

As soon as she and Mo Antong entered the side courtyard, they saw a teenage girl running towards them, screaming and clutching her head, with two anxious maids chasing after her.

"Qiao'er, don't be afraid, Daddy's here!"

Qiao'er is Mo Antong's daughter. Although it wasn't the first time he had seen his daughter fall ill, he was still heartbroken.

He was about to rush forward and hug Qiao'er, but before he could do anything, a slender figure flashed past him and was in front of Qiao'er the next moment.

Then the figure quickly raised his hand and patted Qiao'er's head a few times.

And that figure was none other than Yan Xiao, who had come to the backyard with Mo Antong.

Mo Antong's pupils contracted slightly when he saw this scene. He was about to speak up to stop her when he saw that Qiao'er, who had just been screaming and holding her head, had calmed down after Yan Xiao casually patted her a few times.

Then, under everyone's gaze, she slowly lowered her hands from her head, blinked, tilted her head slightly, and looked at Yan Xiao with curiosity, even revealing a sweet, childlike smile.

As described in the book, Qiao'er had intellectual disabilities, but she was very sweet and clean-looking.

Especially when she smiles, her innocent and naive face can easily arouse some perverted sadistic desires.

Forget those perverts, even Yan Xiao felt a little itchy to touch Qiao'er's head when faced with such a smile. He couldn't help but reach out and touch Qiao'er's head, patiently smoothing out the hair that Qiao'er had messed up.

Qiao'er also behaved very obediently, looking at Yan Xiao with curiosity in her eyes, and intentionally or unintentionally rubbing her head against Yan Xiao's palm.

The two maids who were following Qiao'er were stunned when they saw this scene.

They had been taking care of Qiao'er for several years, and they knew best how difficult it was to deal with her when she was ill.

But what's going on now? If they weren't mistaken, the person wearing the apron just patted Qiao'er's head lightly, right? Why did he suddenly become so docile?

Mo Antong's mood fluctuated wildly. He had been looking nervous, but when he saw what was happening in front of him, he was completely dumbfounded.

His lips trembled twice, but he couldn't say anything. The look in his eyes as he looked at Yan Xiao had changed from initial doubt to one full of expectation.

After Yan Xiao confirmed that Qiao'er had temporarily calmed down, she slowly withdrew her hand and looked at Mo Antong.

When she met Mo Antong's gaze, she knew that the matter was settled. To be frank, Qiao'er's illness had come at just the right time.

Otherwise, she really wouldn't have been able to show Mo Antong such obvious results.

Seeing Yan Xiao looking at him, Mo Antong finally regained some of his composure. He quickly walked up to Yan Xiao and asked, unable to hide his excitement:

"Madam, how... how did you do that?"

Yan Xiao didn't actually do anything; she just used her supernatural energy to soothe the chaotic magnetic field in Qiao'er's brain, relieving her headache and discomfort, and making her less agitated.

Moreover, because her own supernatural energy makes her feel comfortable, she, who isn't very bright, will instinctively want to get close to things that are beneficial to her, which is why she seems to be somewhat close to herself.

However, she couldn't say it outright; she had to use a more enigmatic and mysterious way of putting it.

She coughed lightly, then replied with a serious expression:

"I just used a special technique to press some specific acupoints, which can make your daughter feel better and has a calming effect."

However, this is only a temporary solution, not a cure. It can only alleviate her pain and soothe her emotions. A full recovery for your daughter will take a long time.

"How long? I can wait no matter how long it takes."

At this moment, Mo Antong looked at Yan Xiao as if she were his last lifeline. He would cooperate with whatever she said, as long as his daughter could be cured, he would do anything.

Yan Xiao thought about Qiao'er's experiences and ending in the original book, and after a moment's thought, suggested:

"If you trust me, send Qiao'er to the General's Mansion tomorrow. Her treatment is quite complicated, and it will be much more convenient if she is closer to me."

Furthermore, I need to constantly monitor her condition so that I can develop the latest treatment plan.

Mo Antong hesitated slightly upon hearing the suggestion. He had never let his daughter out of his sight before and was not entirely at ease.

Yan Xiao seemed to sense his hesitation and continued:

"The General's Mansion should be the safest place in the entire Jiangbei City. If you are worried about Qiao'er's daily life, you can bring those two maids with you."

Moreover, you will be working for me in the future, so you are naturally allowed to enter this general's mansion. You can visit your daughter anytime.

Furthermore, from now on, I will be responsible for your daily needs; you cannot continue operating this shop.”

At this point, Yan Xiao's tone became more serious, and he stated directly:

"To be honest, someone as talented as you would be quite troublesome if you weren't one of our own. I'm not entirely comfortable leaving you out here like this."
