Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times
Chapter 5: Treating the Symptoms or Eradicating the Root Cause?
That day, Ye Yu was in class when she felt her phone vibrate. She took it out and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.
Guessing that the call was from an old man she knew at the Taoist temple, she raised an eyebrow, tossed the phone into her storage ring, and ignored it.
When school was over in the afternoon, I took out my phone and saw that the call was coming in again. Wow, they're really persistent.
When Ye Yu answered the phone, the other party immediately said, "Hello, Ms. Ye Yu. I hope my previous call did not disturb you."
Ye Yu asked calmly, "Is there something you need from me?"
"It's like this, my husband met you at the Taoist temple and felt very close to you, so he would like to invite you to his home today."
"Oh, I have something to do today, let's do it another day!"
"Our car is waiting for you at your school gate. What do you need to do? We can help you."
Hearing what the other person said, Ye Yu smiled and said, "Alright, I'll come out now."
After hanging up the phone, he slung his backpack over his shoulder and strolled slowly out of the school gate.
A black car was parked outside the school gate, and a middle-aged man in a black suit with a straight posture stood next to the car.
When the man saw Ye Yu come out, he quickly stepped forward, took the backpack from Ye Yu's back, opened the car door, and invited Ye Yu into the car.
"Miss Ye Yu, where would you like to go first?" the man asked politely.
"Go to Deyue Hotel."
"Ok"
Upon hearing Ye Yu's reply, the man turned and instructed the driver, and the car sped towards the Deyue Hotel.
Ye Yu didn't actually have any plans; she just wanted to make the old man anxious, so instead of calling Zhao Jing, she went directly to the Deyue Hotel where Zhao Jing worked to tell her.
Before long, the car arrived smoothly at the Deyue Hotel.
Ye Yu said to the man, "I'll be back in a bit."
After saying that, he got out of the car and walked into the hotel.
After entering the hotel, Ye Yu found Zhao Jing, who was engrossed in cleaning the toilet, based on her memory. Perhaps influenced by the original owner of the body, Ye Yu felt a pang of heartache upon seeing this scene.
"mom!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Zhao Jing looked up and saw her daughter standing behind her.
She quickly tried to grab her daughter's hand, but as soon as she reached out, she noticed her own dirty gloves. So she took a few steps back and asked, "Xiaoyu, what are you doing here? Why didn't you go straight home after school?"
Seeing Zhao Jing's actions, Ye Yu felt even more heartbroken. She took two steps forward and said to Zhao Jing, "Mom, I wanted to tell you in person that I went with my master to treat patients, and I won't be home until a little later today."
"You and your master went to treat patients? Your master can even cure illnesses?"
“My master is very powerful. She not only taught me kung fu, but also medicine.”
"Why don't you go to the hospital for treatment, but instead go to your master?" Zhao Jing asked with suspicion.
"Oh, don't worry, this patient's illness cannot be cured by the hospital; only my master can cure it."
"After you finish treating the patient today, invite your master to our house for dinner. Mom will cook a nice meal."
"Uh... it might not be possible today. I heard from my master that she has some things to do after seeing today's patients. Maybe next time. I'll let her know in advance."
Ye Yu felt a little guilty.
"Then be careful on your journey, and remember to tell your master this time," Zhao Jing instructed.
“Okay, I understand,” Ye Yu nodded.
"Then go ahead, don't keep your master waiting," Zhao Jing waved to Ye Yu.
"Mom, I'll be going now."
Ye Yu turned and walked towards the hotel entrance. After getting into the car, she looked up at the man and said, "Let's go!"
"Okay, Miss Ye Yu."
The man raised his hand, signaling the driver to head towards the Wang family's house.
After driving for less than half an hour, we arrived at Lakeview Peninsula, a famous villa complex in Zhang City where most of the wealthy and powerful families live.
After entering the gate, the car made a few turns and stopped at the entrance of a Chinese-style building. The people inside heard the car and rushed to the door to greet it.
The first person to emerge was a rather refined middle-aged man, but the shrewd glint in his eyes, though not consciously revealed, was not easily overlooked.
Next came a woman with delicate features and elegant demeanor, and finally, Wang Zerui, who had been cursing Ye Yu as a charlatan at the Taoist temple, appeared.
A refined-looking middle-aged man stepped forward and said, "Welcome, Miss Ye. My name is Wang Chaohai, you can call me Uncle Wang."
He then pointed to the woman and said, "She is my wife, her surname is Yang, you can call her Aunt Yang."
Finally, he looked at Wang Zerui and said, "This is my unruly youngest son, Wang Zerui. You've already met him. Zerui, come here and apologize to Miss Lin."
Wang Zerui reluctantly stepped forward, tilting his head to one side and stammering in a low voice, "I'm sorry!"
Wang Chaohai frowned, clearly displeased with his attitude: "Don't you have the strength? Speak louder!"
"sorry!"
After shouting those three words at Ye Yu, Wang Zerui turned and ran into the house.
"Miss Ye, I'm so sorry, my son is too naughty, please forgive him."
Wang Chaohai apologized.
Seeing the Wang family's serious attitude, Ye Yu stopped worrying about it.
She said to Wang Chaohai, "Uncle Wang, you're looking for me because of Elder Wang, right?"
As Wang Chaohai and Madam Yang led Ye Yu into the house, they explained, "It's like this. When the old man came home that day, all the relatives were there. My little niece was sitting next to him playing, and when he wasn't looking, she took the amulet you gave him and started playing with it."
"Who would have thought that that afternoon, while my brother-in-law left his little niece in the car to buy a cake, she was kidnapped! The person who kidnapped her was my brother-in-law's enemy, who had lost everything in his business and came up with the idea of kidnapping her."
"He told my brother-in-law to take ten million yuan and go to see him alone. My brother-in-law was anxious, so he could only follow the kidnapper from a distance and then call the police."
"Unexpectedly! After getting the money, the kidnappers actually pushed my little niece off the fifteenth floor. My brother-in-law didn't care about anything else and just rushed downstairs. When he got to the bottom, he saw his daughter lying on the ground unharmed, but unconscious."
At this point, Wang Chaohai had already led Ye Yu to the living room and asked her to sit down on the sofa.
He continued, "The kidnappers were caught by the police during their escape, while my brother-in-law and niece went to the hospital."
“We couldn’t believe it when we heard that our little niece had fallen from the fifteenth floor and was unharmed. But when my sister changed our daughter’s hospital gown, she found some black ash in our daughter’s pocket. She reached in and grabbed a handful of ash.”
Then the old man seemed to suddenly realize something and told us about the talisman. "Actually, Wang Chaohai didn't tell Ye Yu the whole truth."
Seeing that Ye Yu was listening to his story calmly, Wang Chaohai valued her even more and said to her, "Fortunately, the child is forgetful and didn't throw away the talisman, otherwise... I have to thank Miss Ye for all of this."
Wang Chaohai and Madam Yang both looked at Ye Yu with gratitude. Ye Yu accepted the couple's apology and then asked Wang Chaohai, "And what about Old Master Wang?"
"Sigh!" Wang Chaohai sighed, "When my niece had the accident, the old man forced himself to go see her. Now, seeing that she was alright, he fell ill as soon as he got back. He's been in a coma for several days. We've tried everything, but the old man still won't wake up. Even the doctor told us to prepare for the worst. I heard from Ze Rui that Miss Ye said she had a way to save the old man, but I don't know..."
After saying that, he stared at Ye Yu, watching her reaction. Ye Yu said directly, "Take me to see."
Wang Chaohai hurriedly took Ye Yu to Old Master Wang's bedroom.
On the bed, Old Wang was emaciated, his cheeks were deeply sunken, and his lips were cracked from dryness. Wang Chaohai called out to Old Wang a few times, but there was no response.
Ye Yu placed her finger on Old Wang's forehead, released a burst of spiritual energy to examine his physical condition, and then withdrew her hand. She looked at Wang Chaohai and his wife and said, "Tell me, do you want to treat the symptoms or eradicate the root cause?"
