A group of experts stood helplessly in the ward, while Yuan Zhengde stood by the bedside, administering acupuncture to the girl and protecting her heart.
"Has Mr. Ye not arrived yet?" Yuan Zhengde frowned. The acupuncture he was performing could only temporarily protect the girl's heart from damage. If Ye Xingchen did not arrive soon, she would not be able to hold on.
"We've arrived, and they're on their way." A man who looked like a butler said hurriedly, "Dr. Yuan, are you... really unable to help?"
“I’ve done my best. I’ve never seen Miss Li’s illness before. I can only place my hopes on Mr. Ye.” Yuan Zhengde shook his head.
The butler sighed inwardly. He had watched Li Yijin grow up since she was a child, and they had a very deep bond. He could only pray that she would be alright.
Just then, Li Tianqi and Ye Xingchen rushed over.
Yuan Zhengde quickly stood up and stepped aside to make way for Ye Xingchen.
Upon seeing Li Yijin, Ye Xingchen frowned. He didn't take her pulse, but instead gently touched the center of her forehead.
A surge of true energy flowed into her body through her brow, and her heart rate and blood pressure, which had almost reached their limit, immediately stabilized and slowly decreased.
"Mr. Ye, how is it?" Li Tianqi asked nervously.
Ye Xingchen didn't speak. He grabbed Li Yijin's wrist. Her wrist was white and smooth, without any abnormalities. However, in Ye Xingchen's eyes, black energy was rising from this wrist.
“This is not an illness.” Ye Xingchen released Li Yijin’s wrist.
"Not an illness?" Li Tianqi was taken aback. "Then what's wrong with her?"
“Possessed by an evil spirit.” Yuan Zhengde said from the side, “When I first came to treat Miss Li, I sensed something was wrong, but I don’t know much about this kind of thing.”
"Thanks to Elder Yuan for protecting your sister's heart meridian with silver needles just now, otherwise the evil energy would have penetrated her heart and even a god couldn't have saved her," Ye Xingchen said in a deep voice.
"Uncle Cheng, where has Yijin been?" Li Tianqi asked the steward, his expression darkening slightly.
“Miss is a senior in high school. She has a private car to pick her up every day and has never been to places like cemeteries or mausoleums. How could she be possessed?” the butler exclaimed.
"The possession I'm referring to wasn't something I acquired unintentionally." Ye Xingchen frowned slightly, his expression hesitant.
Given his abilities, it's not hard to see that Li Yijin was framed.
However, these matters involve the internal struggles of wealthy families. If he were to speak out, the nature of the matter would be different; it would be tantamount to intervening in the internal struggles of the Li family.
He doesn't understand the situation yet, so if he rashly reveals certain things, he might create an unknown enemy for himself.
"Mr. Ye, do you mean someone is persecuting my sister?" Li Tianqi's expression suddenly changed drastically.
"Let's talk about these things later. I'll exorcise the evil spirits from her first," Ye Xingchen changed the subject.
“Okay, thank you for your help, Mr. Ye.” Li Tianqi nodded. With his intelligence, he could easily understand Ye Xingchen’s actions.
Ye Xingchen took out the golden needles and was about to make his move when a beautiful woman led in a middle-aged man dressed in a long robe and wearing sunglasses, exuding an air of superiority with every gesture.
"Tianqi, I heard that Yijin is ill? That's perfect. I've invited a master from Qingxianju to our residence for a visit. Please ask him to come and take a look." The beautiful woman said with a smile, "This is Master Bai, the junior brother of Ding Yulong, a master of celestial phenomena. He is proficient in metaphysics, and ordinary people cannot persuade him to come."
"Taiping Lake, Qingxian Residence?" Ye Xingchen suddenly raised his head, staring intently at the so-called Master Bai: "Are you Bai Tiance?"
Bai Tiance, Ding Yulong's junior brother, was responsible for the massacre of Su Ruochu's family. After killing the family, he set fire to the Su family's house.
"Indeed, who are you?" Bai Tiance was arrogant, after all, their Qingxian Residence was well-known, and he had also gained considerable prestige by traveling around in recent years and practicing the Dao through the Xuan.
"My name is Ye Xingchen. Is your senior brother Ding Yulong?" Ye Xingchen asked.
“Yes, Ye Xingchen? Never heard of him.” Ding Yulong said arrogantly.
“Aunt Xu, Mr. Ye is someone I invited to treat Yi Jin’s illness. Thank you for your kindness, but you don’t need to worry about Yi Jin’s illness.” Li Tianqi said coldly.
Xu Jie is his stepmother. Although Ye Xingchen only said half of what she meant, he knew what she meant.
Within the Li family, the only person who could not tolerate her own siblings was probably this smiling but treacherous matriarch.
“Tianqi, I know you have a prejudice against me.” Xu Jie was taken aback, then said, “But things are urgent now, your sister is still sick. Can’t you put aside your prejudice against me and get your sister cured first?”
“Some people know the truth about my sister’s illness,” Li Tianqi said coldly.
"What do you mean by this?" Xu Jie asked angrily.
"I'll save people first," Ye Xingchen said to Li Tianqi.
"You're going to save people? What are you going to use to save them?" Bai Tiance glanced at Ye Xingchen: "Since you know who I am, you should have heard of my name."
"Of course, I've heard of it." Ye Xingchen nodded. "Qingxianju is a place where one enters the Dao through the profound. Master Bai is also proficient in Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and the art of Qimen Dunjia. Moreover, his skill in controlling spirits is unparalleled in the world. Perhaps only the Three Heroes of Yinshan can rival him."
"Kid, you know quite a lot." Bai Tiance grinned, becoming somewhat smug. "But knowing a lot is useless; this little girl isn't sick."
"Of course it's not because I'm sick." Ye Xingchen turned his head and said, "President Li, I'm about to begin. Please leave if you're not involved."
"Aunt Xu, please take Master Bai to rest." Li Tianqi directly dismissed her.
"What did you say?" Bai Tiance's expression froze. He had been asked to leave?
Master Bai is renowned, and with the support of a senior brother at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to invite him. Now, Li Tianqi wants to invite him out.
“I’ve made myself perfectly clear, please.” Li Tianqi’s tone remained polite.
"Are you crazy? Do you know how many people have tried to hire Master Bai but failed?" Xu Jie's face immediately darkened.
“Of course I know, but I don’t need to,” Li Tianqi said in a deep voice.
"Fine, fine." Bai Tiance laughed angrily: "I, Bai Tiance, have never been treated like this before. I'm telling you right now, no one but me can save your sister. Don't be begging me later."
"Isn't that a bit too arrogant?" Ye Xingchen glanced at him. "Fine, you don't need to go out then. Just stay here and watch how I save people."
"Fine, let's see how you clean up this mess later." Bai Tiance sneered, "You haven't even figured out the situation, have you?"
"You just said you were possessed by an evil spirit," Ye Xingchen said calmly.
“Yes, she is possessed by an evil spirit, but there are many types of possession, such as being possessed by a spirit or being touched by a malevolent force. Do you know what her condition is?” Bai Tiance said dismissively.
