Chapter 76
Finally, with no one paying attention to him, Fu Batian stopped making a fuss. With the help of Mrs. Fu, he dragged his leg, which was broken by Su Yin, back to the yard, and kept shouting for a doctor to be airlifted to see his injuries.
He didn't trust the doctor at the asylum.
"Let her wait for me. Sooner or later, I will make her know the price of angering me, Fu Batian."
The threatening voice disappeared as the courtyard gate closed, and the place that had been noisy for a long time finally became quiet.
The assistant quietly stayed beside Fu Yan.
After a long time, Fu Yan suddenly asked, "What do you think of Xie Lingxu's medical skills?"
The assistant was slightly stunned, but then quickly answered with professionalism: "Director Xie is a world-renowned psychologist."
"So his diagnosis can't be wrong." Fu Yan looked at the sky in the distance quietly and said this calmly.
The assistant's heart skipped a beat. The dean hadn't said a word from beginning to end. The only thing related to his identity was the diagnosis - Mr. Fu's parents were mentally ill.
Mr. Fu repeated this sentence, which meant that he had finally broken free from the deformed family relationships in the first half of his life.
For Miss Tian, all it took was one encounter to determine the truth; but for Fu Yan, who had spent the first half of his life under the shadow of his parents, this meant overturning everything that had been influenced by his parents.
His willingness to admit it meant there was a possibility of recovery.
The assistant now wanted to pay homage to the young sect leader and the dean, especially the young sect leader, whose move was clean and efficient, and not only brought out what he had been thinking for many years, but also awakened the boss's confused mind.
As expected, no matter how many people you embarrass yourself in front of, it is not as good as being embarrassed in front of your "lover" and your love rival; no matter how many people give you subtle advice, it is not as good as a simple and straightforward slap in the face.
Compared to his assistant's surprise that was almost in tears, Fu Yan was much calmer, as if the person who finally came out was not himself.
He calmly gave the order: "Arrange a medical team to test their mental state."
Assistant: "Okay."

Elsewhere, before Tian Xiao went back, she turned and went to Courtyard No. 3. She asked Su Yin, "Young Sect Master, if one day the dean suddenly told you that he wanted to be with you forever and asked you to give up everything in Xiaoyao Sect to be with him, would you agree?"
Su Yin replied without thinking: "Am I crazy to agree to this?"
Tian Xiao asked back: "Don't you love him? You are just giving up some external things."
Su Yin looked at her in confusion, "That's not an external thing, it's the foundation of everything I've gained in the first half of my life."
“…”
Tian Xiao stopped talking.
Su Yin asked her back, "Do you think there was love between those two psychopaths just now?"
"Is...Is that so?" Tian Xiao answered uncertainly.
Although the behavior was a bit weird, at least the behavior between the two people was consistent with her understanding of love.
A negative example is still a lesson. Su Yin spread her hands, "But in my opinion, that's not love, that's called a similar illness."
She changed the subject and said bluntly, "It seems to me that the man surnamed Gu doesn't really love you. He's just a clumsy actor who approached you with a purpose, because he can't even hide his true nature."
"In my original world, the play about a rich lady marrying a poor scholar also didn't have a happy ending."
Tian Xiao didn't say anything, but grabbed the pillow in her hand and crumpled it into a ball.
Su Yin took a sip of water and continued, "Guilt is even more ridiculous. You almost broke up with your family because of him, and you were mistreated by the doctor on this island—" At this point, she suddenly thought, "Are you really sure your family knows about the previous attending doctor?"
"The doctor was right. You've already lost your mind over a man and will never talk to your family about this kind of thing."
Tian Xiao opened her mouth and shook her head, "They arranged the doctor."
"How do you know they didn't intend to stay on a strange island, where they'd feel more at ease with their own people taking care of them, but simply misjudged and let the wolf in?"
No matter how much you say about this kind of thing, it's just speculation. Su Yin suggested, "Let's put the guilt aside for now. Go back and tell your family and ask them if they sent you to the island to be tortured."
Su Yin had reasons for asking this. The original body's father chose Xie Lingxu as his caregiver before his death. The beloved Gu Qian'an was deceived into coming to the sanatorium and no one stopped him. Fu Yan also chose this place for recuperation after his illness. This was enough to show the strength of this sanatorium.
Moreover, there are only five courtyards here, and Xie Lingxu is not short of money, so it may not be easy to get in.
Maybe Tian Xiao’s parents and brothers didn’t love her that much, but they were not as cruel as she thought.
Faced with her proposal, Tian Xiao remained silent. She turned her head slightly, as if she was instinctively avoiding it.
Su Yin didn't give her a chance to escape. "You are a follower of my Xiaoyao Sect. You must listen to me. Ask, even if it means questioning."
"This is the order from the Young Master."
This was the first time she spoke in such a strong tone.
Tian Xiao looked stunned, feeling somewhat uneasy because of her words. On the one hand, she did not believe the Young Sect Master's guess, but on the other hand, she could not help but think about the possibility of this matter.
Su Yin knew she was wavering as soon as she saw her expression, and added fuel to the fire, "Go and ask them, not only about the attending doctor, but also ask them why they stopped you from being with that Gu guy."
"Listen to your relatives' reasons for obstructing you without any resentment, finish all of this, and then think about the matter between you and that person named Gu."
Tian Xiao's mind was in a mess, so she habitually believed the young master's words and obediently returned with the mission.
Tian Xiao’s relative Su Yin could not be seen, but there was another ready-made party involved.
She excitedly leaned over the armrest of the sofa and shouted inside: "Xie Lingxu, Xie Lingxu? Xie Lingxu!"
The man was standing at the bar a few meters away from the living room, facing Su Yin sideways with his head lowered. It was unknown what he was thinking. He called out several times but there was no response.
Su Yin shouted several times in a row, and when she had no other choice, she picked up a cushion and smashed it against his shoulder.
The cushion hit the target with incredible precision. Xie Lingxu finally came back to his senses. He bent down to pick up the cushion, patted it a few times, walked to the sofa and put it back to its original place. Then he gently asked Su Yin, "Sorry, what's wrong?"
Su Yin pulled his arm and pulled him to sit next to her. Then she leaned forward, resting her chin on his shoulder, and asked him, "What are you thinking about? Why are you so absorbed in it?"
Xie Lingxu's body stiffened due to her breath, and his eyes dimmed for a moment.
"Will you give up everything in Xiaoyao Sect to be with him?"
He was thinking about the question Tian Xiao asked, but he answered, "It's about work."
Su Yin did not ask any further questions. Ever since she was given a seat in Xie Lingxu's office, she no longer had any interest in his work.
Then he asked, "Didn't you hear what I said to Tian Xiao just now?"
"I heard it." How could Xie Lingxu not listen to her?
"Then tell me, does what I said make sense?"
"Yeah, that makes sense."
Su Yin smiled with satisfaction, "I tell you, I've seen a lot of kids like her."
Xie Lingxu laughed, "She is the same age as you."
"They are also children. Those with immature thoughts are children."
"Okay, then treat her like a child."
"What do you mean by 'dang'... Oops, you got me sidetracked."
Su Yin released her grip on his arm, twisted her waist, and fell to the other side. "Let me tell you, I've seen many righteous children in the sect before. They were rebellious. When they suffered some injustice, they would go against their parents, and then they would come to Xiaoyao Sect and say they wanted to join the evil sect."
Xie Lingxu had never heard of such a thing before, so he followed her lead and asked, "And then?"
"Then, they just have the mindset of children. They don't really want to join the evil ways. They just scare people and then let them go, pretending nothing happened."
Xie Lingxu was amused by her 'intimidation' and the corners of his lips curled up. He continued to follow her words, "Since you are a person of the righteous path, isn't it a kind of demonstration for the evil path to accept you?"
"Bullshit, you think we're scrap collectors? We collect all kinds of garbage." Su Yin waved her hands, looking confused. "How can someone who can cause such a thing have any future?"
Xie Lingxu also agreed with this point.
"Besides, if we really accept them, who knows, they might regret it one day and steal some secrets from the sect and surrender. That would be a huge loss!"
"But if we let them go, it'll be different. If we meet them again, they'll have to keep their tails between their legs. If their attempt to defect is exposed, they'll be finished. They'll be caught."
When saying these words, Su Yin's eyes were bright and sharp, and he shone with the confidence and pride that belonged to the young master of the evil sect.
Xie Lingxu looked at her with a smile in his eyes, as if the good and evil she was talking about had nothing to do with him.
At this moment, he really felt that good and evil had nothing to do with him and her.
"What do you think? Am I smart?" Su Yin asked with an expression that wanted to be praised.
Xie Lingxu's eyebrows and eyes were all smiling, and his voice was very sincere, "Yeah, very smart."
Su Yin was very pleased with his praise. She twisted her waist back and came back to his side again, and this time she threw herself directly into his arms.
Xie Lingxu put his arm around her waist contentedly.
After lying on his chest for a while, Su Yin suddenly said, "By the way, I have a question for you."
"Um?"
"Xie Lingxu, how did Tian Xiao get into the sanatorium?"
“…”
Xie Lingxu was silent.
He doesn't know.
The original owner did not leave a single word about this matter.
Su Yin noticed the abnormality at this moment and asked him curiously, "You haven't forgotten it, have you? It's only been a short time."
Xie Lingxu relaxed slightly and went along with it. "It's not a big deal. If I don't take it to heart, I'll naturally forget it."
Su Yin asked again, "How did Ji Qingqing from Courtyard No. 1 get into the sanatorium? Her identity is quite different from the others."
The string that Xie Lingxu had just relaxed tightened again, and sweat appeared on his palms.
After a while, he replied: "Her condition is rare."
"Is that so?" Su Yin still felt that his answer was strange.
Before I could think about it, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my abdomen.
She instantly lost her strength and fell sideways on the sofa, covering her abdomen with a pale face.
"What's wrong?" Xie Lingxu held her head in panic. For the first time, he was so frightened that he didn't know where to start.
Su Yin shook her head weakly, curling up into a ball in the corner of the sofa. "Maybe the food was too cold."
"I'll ask someone to check you out." Xie Lingxu said as he was about to take out his cell phone to make a call.
"No." Su Yin stopped him and took out a hand to grab his wrist.
Because of the pain, she clenched her hands tightly, and her hands were sweaty and cold.
Even after traveling through time for so long, Su Yin still couldn't get used to modern examination equipment, especially when she was lying on the examination bed, which made her feel uncomfortable as if she was being treated as a test subject.
Seeing that Xie Lingxu still hadn't given up on calling a doctor, she could only endure the pain and speak again, "I've studied medicine, so how could I not know whether I'm sick or not..."
Worried that she would feel worse if she spoke, Xie Lingxu didn't say anything about calling a doctor. He squatted beside the sofa, watching over her silently, and gently placed his hand on her abdomen, hoping that the warmth of his palm could relieve her pain.
The pain passed quickly, and within a breath, Su Yin was lively and energetic again.
Xie Lingxu was still worried.
"I really don't have any problems! No need to check!" Su Yin resisted, and hooked her finger at him mysteriously.
Xie Lingxu was puzzled, but still leaned forward.
She leaned close to his ear and whispered as if sharing a secret, "I feel like I'm about to cultivate the golden elixir."
Xie Lingxu: “……?”
"Oh, you won't understand even if I tell you." Su Yin stroked her belly with a happy look on her face, "You'll understand later."
