Wu Jiaxin reacted, first looking outside. Seeing that the old lady had already left the shop, she said, "Sister Zhao, you're lying to her!"
"You said that monks don't tell lies."
Zhao Yan lightly tapped Wu Jiaxin's head, "How is this considered lying?"
"This old lady must have done something bad. As the saying goes, if you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear."
"Besides, we aren't monks; we're more like Taoists."
Wu Jiaxin rubbed the top of her head, "That makes sense."
"Pack up your things. Let's go out to eat tonight. It's not good to just earn money and not spend it," Zhao Yan said.
As soon as she heard about food, General Black Tiger, who had been lying on the ground, immediately lifted its dog head.
"General Black Tiger is becoming more and more human-like," Wu Jiaxin sighed, adding that she wouldn't be surprised if General Black Tiger could speak human words in the future.
Zhao Yan nimbly drew a talisman, tidied up her belongings, and was about to take them out to a restaurant.
Just as she finished packing, hurried footsteps were heard from the doorway.
Wu Jiaxin, who had only half-closed the door, had it immediately pushed open.
The person pushing the door had great strength, nearly knocking Wu Jiaxin to the ground.
Before she could speak, Lin Xihang extended his hand and blocked the door.
Seeing Wu Jiaxin almost fall, Lin Xihang apologized, "Xin Xin, I'm sorry. I have something urgent. Can I come in?"
Wu Jiaxin patted the dust off her clothes. She had been a little annoyed, but seeing how rushed Lin Xihang was, her anger subsided.
"Boss Lin, why are you so flustered today?"
As she spoke, Wu Jiaxin opened the door halfway, letting Lin Xihang in.
Lin Xihang thanked Wu Jiaxin and then looked inside.
Upon seeing Zhao Yan in the shop, his tense expression relaxed. He quickly walked up to Zhao Yan and said urgently:
"Miss Zhao, please come with me. This is a matter of life and death."
As he spoke, he reached out to grab Zhao Yan's wrist.
As soon as his hand extended, Zhao Yan dodged it.
Zhao Yan was about to say something, but seeing Lin Xihang's anxious look, she didn't ask for many details and directly said, "Let's talk as we go."
"Okay," Lin Xihang replied.
Zhao Yan got into the car and told Wu Jiaxin to close the door.
She hadn't seen Lin Xihang since she went to Beijing.
Now, looking at him, she felt he had become much more haggard.
Lin Xihang remained silent, focusing on driving, and sped up considerably.
He ran through several red lights consecutively.
Zhao Yan didn't ask. From the route Lin Xihang was taking, she could tell they were heading to the hospital.
From her shop to the hospital, it would take at least half an hour. Lin Xihang, by running several red lights, had saved over ten minutes.
The speed of the car made Wu Jiaxin, who was in the passenger seat, terrified. After getting out of the car, her legs were still trembling.
"Miss Zhao, quickly!" Lin Xihang got out of the car and led Zhao Yan towards the hospital.
Zhao Yan followed him into the hospital.
They arrived at room 7 on the third floor.
"You two, stop for now. Let Miss Zhao handle it."
Two doctors were treating the young man on the hospital bed. Lin Xihang grabbed their wrists and pulled them aside to stop them.
Then, he looked at Zhao Yan and said urgently, "Miss Zhao, please come and take a look."
"This is my cousin. He encountered some trouble, and then his face turned this pale. He woke up once the night before last, but he hasn't woken up since."
Lin Xihang said to the two doctors, "Please step aside for now. Miss Zhao is enough here."
He wouldn't have such great trust in anyone else, but facing Zhao Yan, he had one hundred percent confidence.
The two doctors, thinking Zhao Yan was a doctor hired by Lin Xihang, stepped back a few paces with a desire to learn.
When they saw Zhao Yan approach the young man, pry open his mouth, and insert a talisman, they were shocked.
Then, as if performing magic, the talisman in the young man's mouth suddenly ignited with a hum.
The two doctors were startled.
They then saw Zhao Yan pull up her sleeve, exposing her elbow.
Zhao Yan suddenly jumped up, and as she landed, she used her elbow to push towards the young man's chest.
They opened their mouths to stop her, thinking this was not saving a life but clearly an attempt to kill.
Before they could utter a word, Zhao Yan's elbow forcefully struck the young man's chest.
The young man, who had his eyes tightly shut, immediately opened them.
The moment he opened his eyes, his Adam's apple bobbed a few times, and a foul-smelling green liquid came out of his mouth.
Within what the young man spat out was a slippery, eel-like object.
It was much smaller than an eel, only about the size of a little finger.
It fell from the young man's mouth onto the ground, wriggled a few times, and was then immediately stomped to death by Zhao Yan.
Seeing that Zhao Yan had truly saved the person, the two doctors' eyes widened. They had never witnessed such a method of saving a life.
Moreover, what was in the young man's stomach? They had not detected anything during his full body examination.
"Boss Lin, please ask others to leave for now," Zhao Yan said, pulling her sleeve back down.
Lin Xihang softly acknowledged and escorted the two doctors out first.
"That slippery thing just now was a Yin Worm."
"He..."
Lin Xihang quickly said, "He is my cousin, Mu Chuan."
"Yes, your cousin Mu Chuan was infected with a Yin Worm."
Seeing Lin Xihang's worried expression, Zhao Yan comforted him, "He is no longer in any danger to his life. He just needs to rest quietly for a few days."
As she spoke, Zhao Yan took out two talismans.
"These are Yang-Enhancing Talismans. Wear them," Zhao Yan said.
Upon hearing that he was fine, Lin Xihang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He took the talismans and handed them to Mu Chuan.
Voices were heard from outside, and the door was suddenly opened. Six people rushed in from outside.
Zhao Yan saw Lin's mother, and from their conversation, she learned that these people were Mu Chuan's family and relatives.
Knowing that Mu Chuan had woken up, they wanted to come in and see him.
"This is Miss Zhao, the Miss Zhao I've told you about many times. It's thanks to Miss Zhao that Chuan Chuan is out of danger!"
Zhao Yan knew Lin's mother's enthusiasm well and was about to step back. However, the moment she took a step back, Lin's mother grabbed her and tightly held her wrist, as if afraid she would run away.
"Thank you, Miss Zhao. If it weren't for you, my Xiao Chuan would have been in serious trouble. Here's a red envelope."
The man with a square face opened his briefcase, took out a very large red envelope, and pressed it into Zhao Yan's hand.
Zhao Yan had received many transfers, but she had never received such a thick red envelope.
Holding it felt like holding a brick.
