Chapter 275 I'll Never Be Able to Hire a Divine Doctor in This Lifetime, Defying Fate [3rd Update]
Even Ying Yuexuan herself didn't believe those words.
But she did remember the number.
She saw it in the student contact book in the dean's office.
This is Ying Zijing's phone number. Ying Yuexuan even wrote it down, but she threw it away later.
However, her memory wasn't bad, and she was still able to recall it.
Zhong Manhua was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned cold: "How could it be her phone number? This was given to us by Shaoren Hospital. If this is her phone number, wouldn't she be a miracle doctor?"
For some reason, she's been hearing that name more often lately.
Zhong Manhua was somewhat annoyed.
Ying Yuexuan thought about it and agreed, then pursed her lips and said, "Maybe I saw it wrong."
It's understandable that Ying Zijing is good at her studies because she works hard and is diligent. But is she good at medicine?
This is absolutely absurd.
"Don't mention her again." Only then did Zhong Manhua dial the number.
However, the call was disconnected after only two rings.
Zhong Manhua was taken aback again.
When she tried to call back, the call wouldn't go through.
This means I've been blocked.
Ying Yuexuan noticed that Zhong Manhua's expression was off: "Mom, what's wrong?"
“I suspect the hospital gave me the wrong number.” Zhong Manhua naturally wouldn’t say such an embarrassing thing in front of the younger generation. “I’ll ask again.”
As she spoke, she dialed the phone number of Shaoren Hospital again and explained the problem.
"This is the miracle doctor's phone number. You didn't dial the wrong number. Why not answer?" The customer service representative thought about what the hospital director had said, smiled, and said in a more distant tone, "Not answering proves that you have no affinity with the doctor. The miracle doctor will not make house calls."
Zhong Manhua laughed in exasperation: "What kind of 'medical affinity'? Doctors are here to save lives, right? What kind of superstition is this?"
"I'm sorry, this is the doctor's request." The customer service representative's voice turned cold. "Since the doctor has refused you, I need to prepare to notify the next number."
Before Zhong Manhua could react, the call was disconnected.
Zhong Manhua's face gradually darkened, and she sneered, "If you don't want to treat me, then don't. Do you think that in such a vast country as China, there isn't a single miracle doctor who can cure diseases?"
She befriended Madam Mu, hoping to use this opportunity to approach the Meng family.
Zhong Manhua was unaware of what was happening in the capital, and therefore had no idea that Madam Mu didn't even have the right to meet with direct members of the Meng family.
Zhong Manhua took a deep breath and barely managed to calm herself down: "Xiaoxuan, you go study. I'll go ask the Fu family who cured Old Master Fu."

On a ride-hailing vehicle.
After blocking all of the Ying family's contact information once again, Ying Zijing got off the bus with Wu Yue.
This is her new number.
If Zhong Manhua hadn't called this time, she would have completely forgotten about the Ying family.
“This is our ancestral home.” Fifth Moon pointed to the plaque above. “Our Fifth family is not as ancient as the Mu family, but we existed during the Northern and Southern Dynasties.”
"This house was bestowed upon our ancestors by the Ming Dynasty emperor and has remained to this day."
Ying Zijing's expression hardened slightly, and she muttered to herself, "Still the same as always."
The last time she was on Earth, she visited the Fifth Family with Fifth Shao Xian.
She didn't stay in China for long, only five years.
By then, it was already the Qing Dynasty.
The fifth family had served in the imperial palace for generations.
The ancient Imperial Observatory was actually the same kind of institution as the astrology department that Norton University has been running ever since.
Use your birth chart to predict good or bad fortune.
The ancestral home of the Fifth family was very large. Ying Zijin followed Fifth Yue for twenty minutes before arriving at the easternmost courtyard.
The fifth family also owns a large villa in the city, where most people live.
The people living there were all completely incapable of divination; they had all gone into business.
Therefore, although the ancestral home was spacious, very few people lived there.
Ying Zijin didn't say anything more, but pointed to the ground: "Sit down and close your eyes."
Although she found it strange in May, she still did as she was told.
Although she's a bit oblivious, she's not so stupid as to listen to just anyone.
But Ying Zijin gave her a very approachable feeling, and she didn't feel any aversion towards her.
The reason for this was unknown in May.
Just as she didn't understand why Ying Zijing insisted on coming to the ancestral home instead of the villa in the central area.
Ying Zijin sat opposite her and closed her eyes as well.

On the other side.
West Courtyard.
A middle-aged man was lying in a rocking chair in the middle of the courtyard, squinting his eyes and smoking an old-fashioned pipe.
A servant hurried in from outside and walked up to the middle-aged man: "Second Master."
She whispered a few more words in his ear.
The middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes: "Really?"
“Absolutely true,” the servant replied. “In May, he brought in a stranger, but nothing happened to him.”
The reason why so few people live in the ancestral home of the fifth family is because there are fewer and fewer people in the family who have the ability to perform divination.
Without a talent for divination, living in a house for too long can cause physical discomfort.
But it's different for outsiders; without the bloodline of the Fifth Family, they can't even get in.
Unless, of course, they also possess a talent for divination, whether or not it has been developed.
This is something that the Fifth Month generation is unaware of.
The middle-aged man slowly exhaled a smoke ring and asked, "Where are the patriarch and the others?"
"They went to the ancient medical community last night," the servant replied respectfully. "Fifth Wind and the others aren't here either. There's hardly anyone in the old house today. I wonder why Fifth Moon suddenly came back."
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes: "That's good. Let's wait a little longer. Don't rush. Have the people below close the gate first, so that no one can leave."

Two hours later.
Ying Zijin opened her eyes.
She slowly got up, clenched her fist to her lips, and coughed violently.
A few seconds later, she lowered her hand, and blood dripped from her fingertips.
Her lips were also a vibrant red.
Against her skin, which was so white it was almost transparent, it looked shocking.
Fifth Month's expression changed drastically. He stepped forward and hugged the girl, asking, "Are you alright?"
"It's alright," Ying Zijing said calmly. "I won't die."
By the fifth month, the influence of cause and effect had weakened considerably.
However, it's still a bit of a stretch for her to forcibly erase it now.
However, if it is not eliminated now, danger will inevitably occur in the fifth month.
"I have medicine here." Fifth Month busied herself rummaging through drawers and cabinets. "This is from the ancient medical field. Take it quickly."
"No need." Ying Zijing coughed a few more times, took out a few pills she had made herself from her pocket and swallowed them. "Do you feel anything has changed?"
Wu Yue was taken aback and actually took a serious look at it. She hesitated and said, "It seems like my body feels lighter and my head isn't as dizzy."
“I’m going to sleep for a while. If I’m not awake by eight o’clock, call this number.” Ying Zijing handed her her phone. “Tell him where I am.”
She didn't even have the strength to walk out.
She has never been able to calculate her own affairs, nor does she calculate them all the time.
After all, gamers don't just spam skills all the time.
Moreover, the closer the relationship, the harder it is to calculate.
Such as Wen Fengmian, Wen Tinglan, and Grandpa Zhong.
However, if they encounter a life-or-death crisis, she will sense it, and this sense will remind her to calculate.
But she herself couldn't do it.
She wasn't sure if something might happen to her at the fifth house.
But there was no other way; only in the ancestral home could she change the fate of the Fifth Month.
In May, she accepted the invitation: "Okay, okay."
She glanced down at the phone number's contact name.
It's not a name, but a title.
elder brother.
In May, she didn't think much of it and just assumed they were Ying Zijing's family.
But she also noticed that there was a pig emoji label before the title.
Apart from that, there were no other contacts.
May asked curiously, "Miss, what does this pig mean?"
Ying Zijing was already lying on the bed. She closed her eyes, her voice gradually weakening: "Someone I can entrust my back to without worry..."
In May, he scratched his head, somewhat confused by the sentence.
She closed the bedroom door.
Then he sat in the yard and kept watch.
This courtyard is where the four siblings lived.
However, the other three people are not here today.
In the fifth month, they kept watch for another three hours.
She glanced at the time and realized it was already 7:30 pm, but Ying Zijing was still not awake.
In May, holding the phone Ying Zijing had given her, she thought for a moment and decided to make the call right now.
But just as she clicked on the name "brother," there was a knock on the courtyard gate.
Fifth Month immediately became alert: "Who?"
Outside the door, the voice of a middle-aged man could be heard.
"Your second uncle, Wu Hui, needs to talk to you."
“My brother and the others aren’t here today.” Fifth Month didn’t intend to let Fifth Hui in, so she didn’t open the door. “Please leave.”
She was supposed to call him Second Uncle, but Fifth Hui and she weren't from the same faction and didn't usually have any contact.
Who knows why Wu Hui came to see her at this time?
In the fifth month, I ignored it and dialed the number.
But then the door was kicked open.
Fifth Hui twirled his prayer beads, with several servants following behind him. He ignored Fifth Yue and raised his chin, saying, "Go, bring the people out of the bedroom."
Wu Yue didn't expect that Wu Hui was after Ying Zijing, but she immediately took action.
She stood in the bedroom doorway: "Fifth Hui, what do you think you're doing? I'm warning you, she's not an ordinary person. Do you dare touch her?"
"You're joking." To everyone's surprise, Fifth Hui not only showed no surprise, but instead smiled faintly. "Of course I know she's not an ordinary person. If she were, how could she have protected us from disaster?"
He's finally getting it! He definitely will. Someone else got it this month.
Come on, let's place a bet and see who goes first.
