Chapter 1363 He Shenyi
However, that female ghost messenger was too naive. As soon as Chen Xuan called her, she obediently followed him down. If Wei Linlin wasn't so important to Chen Xuan, he really wouldn't want to deceive this little ghost messenger.
As soon as they went downstairs, the Wei family's butler walked in with an old man and a young woman.
The old man had a wrinkled face and white hair, but his body was strong, and his complexion was ruddy.
The young woman beside him wore a white long dress and had an ethereal temperament.
Between her brows, there was a hint of pride. Her features were exquisite, her face was oval-shaped, and she was also a rare goddess-level figure, instantly attracting many scorching gazes.
"Mr. Wei, He Shenyi and his granddaughter Miss He are here."
The Wei family's butler glanced at the man and woman behind him, then looked up at Wei Changgeng and introduced them.
This old man was He Shenyi.
The He family had been imperial physicians for five generations and were revered figures in Kyoto's medical circles. Anyone who met He Shenyi would respectfully call him Elder He.
The woman behind him was He Shenyi's granddaughter, He Ruxuan.
She also possessed top-tier talent in medicine. At a young age, she had already obtained a medical doctorate from Qingbei University and had made significant achievements in traditional Chinese medicine.
Especially in the past year, He Ruxuan, though new to the field, had already treated numerous difficult and complicated diseases. Coupled with her beauty, she had become very famous!
"He Shenyi? Weren't you unavailable?"
Wei Changgeng was taken aback, not showing any joy, because Chen Xuan had already arrived.
This morning, Wei Changgeng had sent someone to invite He Shenyi, but he was told that He Shenyi was unavailable.
He Shenyi was stunned. Logically, Wei Changgeng should have been overjoyed and ecstatic.
He quickly assumed that Wei Changgeng was simply too excited and said with a smile, "I have already treated the important person. I happened to have some free time, and I remembered Mr. Wei's matter, so I hurried over. I should still make it in time, right?"
"You're in time, you're in time. He Shenyi, please have a seat first."
Since He Shenyi had come, Wei Changgeng couldn't refuse him. He immediately arranged for He Shenyi to be seated.
"Hello, He Shenyi!"
"Greetings, Elder He!"
He Shenyi and his granddaughter He Ruxuan sat down. Then, the surrounding esteemed doctors and renowned physicians all sought out He Shenyi for conversation. Some young talents even showed off their knowledge to attract He Ruxuan's attention.
However, He Ruxuan was dismissive, completely disregarding these superficial people.
He Ruxuan suddenly raised an eyebrow and saw Chen Xuan, who was sitting by the side eating pastries and drinking tea, completely at ease. She couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. This man hadn't even looked at her since the beginning. Was she not beautiful?
Women are like that. The more you try to get closer, the more you tend to be disliked. On the contrary, if you ignore her, she will pay more attention to you.
Chen Xuan, who had not eaten breakfast and was filling his stomach, was unaware that his actions had attracted the attention of He Ruxuan, the goddess of Kyoto's medical community.
"Would you like some too?"
Chen Xuan glanced at the female ghost messenger sitting opposite him. The female ghost messenger was already drooling.
She was also a glutton. In her many days in the human world, her favorite things were human snacks and pastries, especially those with exquisite designs. But she was a ghost messenger, a ghost, and couldn't eat them at all.
Female ghost messenger: "..."
"I forgot, you're a ghost messenger, also a ghost. You can't eat things from the human world."
Chen Xuan said and continued to eat.
Suddenly, he remembered something. He took out an incense stick, lit it, and inserted it. He then bowed and looked up at the female ghost messenger, saying, "You can eat now."
Although the female ghost messenger couldn't eat things from the human world, she could eat things that were offered through sacrifice.
The female ghost messenger's small face revealed a hint of joy. She grabbed the pastries from the plate and began to devour them.
Of course, the items on the plate did not decrease, because what the female ghost messenger ate was different from what humans ate.
As the elders in the family often said, things offered to the gods could only be eaten by people the next day, and this was the reason.
Chen Xuan's strange behavior attracted the attention of many people.
"What the hell is this guy doing? Why is he burning incense and offering sacrifices? Is he some kind of Taoist priest from somewhere?"
"Isn't this guy here to exorcise evil spirits?"
"Mr. Wei, you've even invited an exorcist. You're really desperate and willing to try anything."
Clearly, many people did not believe Chen Xuan and thought he was there to swindle them.
"Are you full?"
"I'm full!"
The female ghost messenger licked her lips, revealing a satisfied expression.
Finally, she had tasted the delicacies of the human world!
It was simply wonderful!
"What's your name?" Chen Xuan asked with a frown.
"My name is Qin Qianqian."
"My name is Chen Xuan. From now on, we know each other."
"I know you're Chen Xuan. I heard it from the devil shopkeeper."
Chen Xuan's brows furrowed: "Devil shopkeeper?"
Qin Qianqian's expression changed.
The devil shopkeeper was naturally the ghost messengers' way of referring to Li Er.
Chen Xuan immediately realized that Li Er, who had been so subservient in front of him, had such a nickname among the ghost messengers. He found it amusing and couldn't help but laugh: "Don't worry, I won't tell him."
Qin Qianqian immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, a sound of footsteps echoed: "Mr. Wei, the things have been found!"
Chen Xuan looked up and saw a Wei family servant rushing into the room, tightly holding a bundle.
Time to get to work!
"Are all the items found?" Wei Changgeng asked urgently.
"They're all found, they're all here."
The Wei family servant held up the bundle.
Chen Xuan walked over, took it, and glanced at the contents. He nodded and said, "They are all inside. Then, without delay, let's go save Linlin."
"Okay!"
Wei Changgeng immediately nodded.
Just as the group was about to go to treat Wei Linlin for the Gu, a cold snort suddenly sounded from behind: "Mr. Wei, what is the meaning of this?"
Chen Xuan turned his head and saw that the speaker was He Ruxuan, the granddaughter of He Shenyi. He Shenyi's expression was also not very good.
They had been here for a long time, and Wei Changgeng had not allowed them to see the patient. Now, he was leaving them aside and letting someone else see the patient first. When had He Shenyi ever been so disrespected?
It was clear that the Wei family looked down on them!
"He Shenyi, I apologize for not explaining clearly before. It's not that I didn't invite you to treat the illness, but that my daughter's condition is not an illness at all." Wei Changgeng said slowly.
"Not an illness?"
He Shenyi and He Ruxuan both frowned slightly, their tone filled with surprise.
"It's indeed not an illness, but Gu!"
Chen Xuan added. However, from the eyes of He Shenyi and He Ruxuan, Chen Xuan could see disbelief.
But that was understandable. For an old Chinese medicine doctor and a modern medical doctor, such an unbelievable matter was indeed difficult to accept and normal.
"He Shenyi, then I will let Chen Xuan go and remove the Gu for my daughter first."
Wei Changgeng said urgently.
"Mr. Wei, you are not treating the illness but using unorthodox methods. You will delay your daughter's condition!"
He Shenyi said indignantly.
He had seen too many superstitious people who, when ill, refused medical treatment and instead believed in Feng Shui and metaphysics, ultimately leading to delays in their recovery and lifelong regret. He could not bear to see such a thing happen again!
