Liu Wen Yu's stubborn resistance amused Wu Tian.
However, he was too lazy to argue with Liu Wen Yu. Since Liu Wen Yu insisted on being defiant, Wu Tian didn't mind slapping his face until it was swollen.
He turned to Xiao Yi and asked, "Miss Xiao, do you know why I said those things to anger you during the day?"
Xiao Yi replied confusedly, "I don't know. I was wondering too, what did you mean by saying those things?"
Wu Tian lowered his voice, "It's simple. The problem lies with that sword."
"That sword?" Xiao Yi blinked.
She quickly pressed, "Isn't that just an antique treasure sword? What could be the problem?"
Wu Tian explained, "If it were just a sword for collection, then it would be fine. But the key is that it's the sword of the God of Slaughter, Bai Qi."
"That sword followed Bai Qi for many years, and countless souls perished by its blade, accumulating immense resentment."
"If the sword remains sheathed, it's fine. But once unsheathed, that resentment will enter the bodies of living beings nearby."
"In the end, I underestimated that resentment. I originally thought Uncle Xiao would only have problems tomorrow, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly."
Wu Tian's words stunned everyone.
Xiao Yi murmured, "So that's how it is... I remember Dad really liked this sword. After he got it, he took it to his study to examine it for two hours."
"It was shortly after he came out of the study that he fell unconscious."
Wu Tian said, "When your father was examining it, he must have drawn the treasure sword. Only then can it be explained."
Although Wu Tian had explained in sufficient detail, Liu Wen Yu simply refused to believe it.
His face flushed red as he declared, "Nonsense! This is all nonsense!"
"What about vengeful spirits and resentment? These are all tricks to confuse people. I won't believe any of it!"
Wu Tian said coldly, "Otherwise, if you're so capable, why don't you do it?"
Wu Tian's words were almost devoid of emotion, but they effectively choked Liu Wen Yu.
He glared at Wu Tian and said, "Don't get too smug. I'll say it again, you were just lucky earlier!"
"What's the use of making up all sorts of rubbish now? If you really have the ability, then cure him!"
Wu Tian showed a faint smile, "Don't worry, no need to rush. I'll grant your wish."
With that, Wu Tian placed all the silver needles on the table and then reached out, placing his hand on Xiao Deming's chest.
This action confused everyone, except for Zhou Qian, who showed a look of pleasant surprise.
Liu Wen Yu frowned and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"Do you think you have divine hands? Can you cure illnesses just by touching people?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Congratulations, you guessed correctly."
"Watch closely. This is a realm you will never be able to touch in your lifetime!"
As his voice fell, Wu Tian's gaze instantly became solemn.
At the same time, spiritual energy began to flow continuously into Xiao Deming's body.
The people present couldn't see the spiritual energy, so they looked around, unsure of what Wu Tian was doing.
Xiao Yi whispered to Zhou Qian, "Zhou Qian, what exactly is your boyfriend doing?"
Zhou Qian smiled and said, "No need to ask so much. Just watch closely. A miracle is about to happen."
Having witnessed Wu Tian's abilities, Zhou Qian knew that this time, the recovery was practically guaranteed.
Zhou Qian's words undoubtedly reassured Xiao Yi.
She gently clasped her hands over her chest, her eyes filled with anxiety.
As time passed, the spiritual energy Wu Tian was channeling became more and more abundant.
This situation was quite severe, requiring much more spiritual energy than treating other illnesses.
However, seeing that Wu Tian had been motionless, Liu Wen Yu assumed Wu Tian was up to some trick and began to stir up trouble again.
He chuckled sarcastically, "I thought you had some great skill, but after all this time, this is all you've got!"
"I say, are you done yet? How long are you going to pretend?"
"If you can't cure him, don't act so high and mighty. There's no need. It's normal if you can't cure a disease that I couldn't cure. You might as well..."
He rambled on incessantly, like a buzzing fly, irritating everyone's ears.
But at that very moment, his voice abruptly stopped.
Simultaneously, his expression turned blank.
"What's going on?"
Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Deming and took a step back in fright.
Black energy was actually emanating from Xiao Deming's body!
The energy looked like black smoke from burning firewood, with almost no smell.
As it left his body, the black energy let out sharp screams, as if trying to pierce everyone's eardrums.
Everyone's faces turned pale instantly, except for Wu Tian, who remained composed.
After all the black energy had dissipated, he stood up and said calmly, "It's alright now."
Still recovering from the shock, Xiao Yi said blankly,
"Wu Tian, just now... what exactly happened?"
Wu Tian casually replied, "Didn't I tell you this was related to resentment? So, the black energy just now was naturally resentment."
"There really was resentment..." Xiao Yi found it unbelievable.
To be honest, she had been skeptical at first.
But she never expected Wu Tian to actually force out all the so-called resentment!
Her eyes widened, and she trembled, saying, "So, that means my father... he's completely fine now, right?"
Wu Tian tilted his head slightly, "Why don't you go and see for yourself?"
Xiao Yi quickly focused her attention on Xiao Deming and found that Xiao Deming had opened his eyes again!
But this time, it was completely different from before. Xiao Deming slowly raised his hand and said, "I... what happened to me?"
"Dad!"
At this moment, Xiao Yi finally confirmed that Xiao Deming was well and helped him up excitedly.
Meanwhile, Liu Wen Yu and the Zhou Hua Xu couple were already in a state of shock.
How could things have turned out like this?
Wasn't that Wu Tian just a village doctor?
Why would a village doctor possess such abilities?
Xiao Deming had just woken up and hadn't grasped the situation. After hearing Xiao Yi's explanation, he realized what had happened to him.
Immediately, he quickly thanked Wu Tian, "Doctor Wu, I really must thank you properly this time!"
"If it weren't for you, I would have truly lost my life!"
Wu Tian smiled faintly, "Uncle Xiao, I am a doctor, and this is what I should do."
"However, regarding that treasure sword, it's best if you keep it sheathed from now on. Never open it again."
