Chapter 069 Idioms Can Also Deceive
"Thank you very much, Celestial Master..."
The first thing the elderly man in the Tang suit did after recovering was to express his heartfelt gratitude to Ye Bai.
Others may not be aware of his physical condition, but he himself is fully aware of it.
The shock of Ye Bai's identity caused her "ghostly laughter syndrome" to flare up. If she is not treated in time, she will only die from convulsions!
He did have some medication in his pocket to temporarily suppress the symptoms, but the key issue was that he simply didn't have the strength to take it out in that situation.
This is similar to a patient suffering a heart attack who may not be able to take nitroglycerin pills in time, even if they have them with them.
So from this perspective, Ye Bai was essentially saving his life.
Of course, this is assuming that his illness was triggered by Ye Bai.
But for someone from the Xuanmen sect to dare to argue with the current leader of the Xuanmen sect over such matters is undoubtedly a death wish.
"Don't mention it. I've only temporarily sealed some of your acupoints. You really need to get this problem treated as soon as possible, otherwise it will get worse and worse."
Ye Bai smiled and shook his head.
"I also wish to cure it completely, but no one has a solution... Wait, Master Celestial, could you perhaps cure it?"
The elderly man in the Tang suit first shook his head helplessly, then his eyes lit up and he quickly asked.
Over the years, he has spent a fortune seeking out renowned doctors from all over the country, but all have been to no avail, so he has long since resigned himself to his fate and given up hope.
Unexpectedly, after meeting Ye Bai, the young celestial master of the Xuanmen sect, today, it seemed that things would take a turn for the better, making it hard for him not to be excited.
"Just call me by my name, don't call me 'Celestial Master,' it makes me feel like I'm about to go catch a ghost any second now."
Ye Bai pursed his lips and first corrected the old man in the Tang suit.
He had no objection to the honorific title of "Celestial Master," but felt that since everyone around him was an ordinary person, it would be better for him to be ordinary as well.
Moreover, he always agreed with his master's philosophy that the hierarchy of titles was reserved for those who loved vanity.
These days, there are countless people who call their leaders "leaders" but secretly wish they could tear them to pieces.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Bai said, "Your 'smirking disorder' is quite severe, but it's not incurable; it's just a bit troublesome..."
Before he could finish speaking, the old man in the Tang suit exclaimed excitedly, "Heavens... Mr. Ye, please just name your price! I'll pay any price!"
Once his ailment flares up, it's not just frightening; he also suffers immense pain.
Moreover, as the condition worsens, the duration of this pain will also increase.
That feeling was truly worse than death!
If he hadn't gone through so much trouble to obtain some secret medicine that could temporarily suppress the symptoms, he probably would have already succumbed to the pressure and committed suicide.
Now that they have finally seen a glimmer of hope, one can only imagine their ecstasy.
He didn't even doubt whether Ye Bai was lying to him, because to people in the Xuanmen sect, those two Celestial Masters were already comparable to gods.
Especially considering that Ye Bai only used the "sealing acupoints" technique to suppress his illness, it is enough to prove the extraordinary skill of the Celestial Master.
"You'd better answer a few questions for me honestly first."
Ye Bai said noncommittally.
……
After a while, Ye Bai walked out of the bar, feeling a bit of a headache.
This elderly man in a Tang suit named "Deng Zhong" is indeed a Feng Shui master from the Xuanmen school.
And the purpose for Ye Xuanyuan and Qin Shengtu to find him was indeed related to Qin Wanqing.
But it wasn't to tamper with Qin Wanqing's fate; rather, it was to make him completely confirm whether Queen Qin's fate of bringing misfortune to her husbands was truly real.
Apart from that, the two men did not make any demands on him.
Clearly, the fact that Qin Wanqing's fate was secretly altered has nothing to do with Deng Zhong.
Ye Bai was so certain because Deng Zhong didn't dare to lie to him and still needed his help to cure the strange "smiling disorder".
Secondly, and most importantly, after getting to know him, Ye Bai discovered that Deng Zhong did not possess that ability.
Changing someone else's destiny is extremely difficult, far beyond the capabilities of ordinary feng shui masters and fortune tellers.
Although that person is not as good as Ye Bai, he is definitely far superior to someone like Deng Zhong.
This means that the clues that were finally found have been lost once again.
However, Ye Bai did not come away empty-handed.
He unexpectedly learned some secrets about Qin Wanqing's best friend, Tong Yan, from Deng Zhong...
……
"Mr. Ye, Miss Shen has taken Miss Tong back to the Qin family manor first..."
When Ye Bai got outside, he found that Yang Renxiao was still there, waiting for him.
After explaining Shen Lu's whereabouts, Yang Renxiao couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Ye, is that old man the person you're looking for?"
"No."
Ye Bai shook his head, then, seeing Yang Renxiao's disappointment, smiled and said, "But it was also very useful. This time, you helped me accomplish something."
The fact that Yang Renxiao was able to find Deng Zhong so quickly shows that he is quite capable.
His mental fortitude was too poor; he was always afraid that Ye Bai might sell him to his grandfather if he got upset.
So although he wasn't of much help in this matter, Ye Bai felt that he might actually need this guy in the future.
Putting everything else aside, it would be good to have him as an informant within the Qin Group.
"It's good that I can help Mr. Ye..."
Yang Renxiao wiped away his cold sweat and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Subsequently, under Yang Renxiao's strong insistence, Ye Bai had no choice but to let him drive him back to the Qin family manor.
Ye Bai wanted to invite the other party to have some tea before leaving, but Yang Renxiao was quite tactful and made an excuse to leave.
Upon arriving at the reception room, Shen Lu was chatting with Tong Yan.
At this moment, Tong Yan had taken off her sunglasses and mask, revealing her true face.
She has a delicate oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and eyes that, while not large, are very bright and clear.
Especially when she smiles, her eyes crinkle, making her extremely endearing and giving her an indescribable charm.
She has a small, delicate nose and slightly upturned lips, making her look like she's always smiling. She's a very beautiful girl.
A short hairstyle does not diminish a woman's femininity; on the contrary, it adds a touch of competence.
Her skin was also very fair, as smooth as milk, and should be the kind that feels extremely good to the touch.
However, when Ye Bai's gaze fell on Tong Yan's chest, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Bah! That's a misnomer!
It's not even as magnificent as the Qin Queen's!
What a waste of the idiom he just learned a few days ago.
It seems that nowadays not only fairy tales can deceive people, but idioms are no better.
"Hello, you must be Wanqing's husband. I'm sorry to have troubled you this time..."
Before Ye Bai could even introduce himself, Tong Yan stood up, smiling as she stretched out her delicate white hand, recognizing him at a glance.
"Miss Tong, you're too kind. You're Wanqing's good friend, and we're more than happy to have you come to our home."
Ye Bai gently shook hands with Tong Yan, feeling her smooth and warm skin. He suddenly had an urge to read the girl's palm.
Of course, it's the very proper kind.
According to Deng Zhong, this girl is quite extraordinary...
