“Haha, this is hilarious! You think wearing this cursed amulet will make you safe? What do you think this is, some kind of ghost repellent?” Wu Yang was amused by Li Se, admitting that Li Se’s medical skills were decent, but at this moment, he seemed a bit delirious. To bring trouble upon himself, he had to come up with a theory about spirits and ghosts, only to end up humiliating himself in the end.
Cai Yuan chuckled along, saying, “If this thing actually works, I’ll kneel down and call you father. The world is full of all sorts of strange things.”
“Alright then, you two can both kneel down then,” Li Se said calmly.
“You think you deserve that?” Cai Yuan scoffed.
Chen Yuan also frowned slightly, “Will this actually work?”
Li Se walked over to Miss Chen. However, she seemed shy and was a little scared when she saw Li Se.
“Yi Qing, this is the doctor. Don’t be afraid,” Xiao Feifei comforted her. However, she knew Li Se had gone too far this time. An amulet actually working? That was too unscientific. She didn’t believe it much herself.
“Miss Chen, take this. You can sleep soundly now,” Li Se handed the amulet over.
Chen Yi Qing hesitated for a moment before taking the amulet. At that moment, she felt a sense of peace and soon fell asleep. A smile was on her face as she slept, clearly having a very peaceful slumber.
“It seems to actually work?” Xiao Feifei said in surprise.
“How is that possible?” Wu Yang refused to believe it. “She just fell asleep; the nightmares haven’t started yet. Just wait and see. If this useless thing works, it would be an insult to us doctors!”
Cai Yuan snorted, “Just wait, the nightmares will come soon!”
Seeing his daughter’s peaceful sleeping expression, and how quickly she fell asleep that day, Chen Yuan was starting to believe. He then asked everyone to wait outside. Whether she was truly cured or not would be known soon.
“Director Chen, I’m just saying, waiting is a complete waste of time. Why not take the medicine I prescribed? That way, you can at least get a good night’s sleep,” Wu Yang shook his head.
“That’s right, Director Chen, this is a complete waste of time. This kid is a charlatan, spouting theories about ghosts and spirits. Isn’t this just fooling around?” Cai Yuan chimed in.
Chen Yuan said nothing, but quietly waited.
Xiao Feifei walked up to Li Se and lowered her voice, “Could it really be because of her weak eight characters?”
“If not, then what?” Li Se asked back.
“Then wouldn’t I be…” Xiao Feifei sounded a little scared.
Li Se replied truthfully, “Of course. You always like to frequent places with heavy Yin energy. You might have already been targeted by malevolent spirits. Moreover, I can sense a malevolent aura between your brows. If you don’t look closely, you might not notice it. However, your situation is different from Miss Chen’s. If you truly encounter something, an amulet won’t be enough.”
“Really? Are you fooling me?” Xiao Feifei was still a little suspicious.
“Believe it and it exists, disbelieve and it doesn’t. If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do,” Li Se shrugged. There were many things that couldn’t be explained, but they still existed.
Xiao Feifei was deep in thought. She had never believed in such things, but after seeing Chen Yi Qing fall into a sweet dream just by receiving the amulet, she was starting to waver.
The sleep was quite long for Chen Yi Qing, and she had a very sweet, sweet dream. She hadn’t slept so peacefully in a long time. When she woke up, she changed her clothes. Her complexion was much better than before. As soon as she came out, she rushed to Li Se and kissed him on the cheek, thanking him, “Thank you, it really worked!”
“Yi Qing, mind your image!” Chen Yuan coughed.
Chen Yi Qing immediately went to her father’s side and said with a smile, “Dad, I haven’t slept so peacefully for a very, very long time. I got a bit excited, that’s all.”
“It’s really better?” Chen Yuan also became a little excited.
“Mm-hmm!” Chen Yi Qing nodded.
“Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!” Wu Yang stood up abruptly, his face filled with disbelief. “Medical practice is rigorous. How could it work just because of an amulet? This is absolutely impossible! I don’t believe it!”
“That’s right, there must be a trick,” Cai Yuan also refused to believe it.
Li Se said, “The facts are right in front of you. Imperial Physician Wu, do you remember the bet we just made? Kneel down and apologize. And you, your disciple, kneel down and call me father!”
“You want me to kneel down and apologize to you?” Wu Yang pointed at himself, somewhat angrily. “Who do you think I am? I am an Imperial Physician! You think you deserve an apology from me?!”
“What? Didn’t you set this bet yourself?” Li Se was not surprised by Wu Yang’s reaction at all. Not fulfilling the bet last time already showed that this person was a sore loser.
“I was talking about medical treatment just now. You didn’t provide medical treatment; you used this unorthodox method. Who knows if she’s really cured? Therefore, I will not kneel down for you!” Wu Yang said with a cold face.
Xiao Feifei couldn’t help but say, “Imperial Physician Wu, you were the one who insisted on making this bet just now. Now that you’ve lost, you’re reneging on it?”
“Feifei, Imperial Physician Wu is like this. I’m used to it,” Li Se waved his hand, indicating he didn’t care.
Wu Yang’s face turned ashen. He couldn’t stay there any longer and got up to leave directly.
“Your disciple seems to owe me a kowtow and a shout of ‘father’, doesn’t he?” Li Se called out.
However, Cai Yuan quickly followed him out. If his teacher could go back on his word, he certainly wouldn’t kneel down and call someone father.
“As expected, they are family, and they share the same ways,” Li Se shook his head. He didn’t chase after them to apprehend the master and disciple. After all, Wu Yang was an Imperial Physician, and if the other party insisted on reneging, there was really nothing he could do.
“This Wu Yang…” Chen Yuan shook his head. “Young divine doctor, what should I call you?”
“Li Se!”
“Doctor Li, I, Chen Yuan, will always remember the kindness you’ve shown my daughter. If you ever need anything in the future, feel free to call me anytime!” Chen Yuan said sincerely. If it weren’t for Li Se, his daughter would still be tormented by nightmares. Even if she wasn’t sick, she would have been driven to illness.
“You’re too kind,” Li Se cupped his hands. “Since Miss Chen is alright now, I’ll take my leave. Oh, right, Miss Chen, it’s best to wear that amulet all year round. That way, even if you accidentally pass by a place with heavy Yin energy in the future, it won’t have any effect on you.”
“Okay, thank you, Doctor Li. I was too excited just now, that’s why I kissed you. Please don’t mind it,” Chen Yi Qing said with a blush.
“Haha, I don’t mind!” Li Se laughed heartily. He wouldn’t mind such things at all.
