Chapter 705 Five Elements Talisman

"Pfft..." Upon hearing Li Se's words, Cai Yuan burst out laughing, his laughter unrestrained. "Am I hearing this right? Miss Chen often has nightmares because of her birth characters? You're too talented to be a TCM doctor; you should become a fortune teller instead, haha!"

Even Wu Yang was amused by Li Se's words. While he found it funny, he was also surprised. Although he was unhappy with Li Se, he acknowledged his medical skills. However, he couldn't understand why Li Se would bring up such matters; it was pure nonsense.

"It seems someone is about to become a fortune teller," Wu Yang chuckled.

Chen Yuan's face darkened. Although what Li Se had said earlier was accurate, he truly didn't believe in metaphysics. He'd rather trust what Imperial Physician Wu Yang said. He snorted and retorted, "Heh, you really know how to talk. Do you think I'll believe this nonsense?"

Xiao Feifei felt a bit helpless. As she had expected, there was no way Chen Yuan would believe such words.

"Kneel down and apologize honestly. It's laughable that you'd say such rubbish. Are you going to say next that you can cast a spell to cure Miss Chen?" Cai Yuan mocked.

"Uncle Chen..." Li Se tried to say something.

Chen Yuan interrupted him, "Just call me Director Chen. I cannot accept the title of Uncle Chen. My daughter doesn't need your treatment. As for your bet with Imperial Physician Wu, handle it yourselves. I won't interfere!"

Li Se felt somewhat helpless. Although such things were difficult to believe, they were indeed the truth. After a moment of thought, he said, "Director Chen, there are some things I cannot explain, but they do exist. As for why Miss Chen is like this, if I'm not mistaken, it's probably because she went to a place with heavy yin energy with Xiao Feifei last time."

Then, he looked at Xiao Feifei and asked, "When did you two go to a place with heavy yin energy last time?"

"It seems like it was ten days ago. We went to a place with many graves," Xiao Feifei recalled.

"Then it's correct." Li Se looked at Chen Yuan and said seriously, "Miss Chen's condition should have started around ten days ago."

Chen Yuan inhaled sharply again. This seemed to align with everything. Recalling Li Se's earlier words, could it really be due to a weak birth chart, combined with visiting a graveyard, that led to this situation?

But if he were to say it wasn't, it would be too coincidental. Most importantly, Li Se's explanations were coherent, and everything he said was accurate.

"Nonsense. I thought you were a doctor. Questioning my diagnosis is one thing, but now that you can't find any reason, you're resorting to superstitions. What era do you think this is? You still believe this kind of rubbish?" Wu Yang sneered.

"Hurry up and kneel. The moment you started talking about superstitions, you've already lost. My teacher's diagnosis is never wrong. Weak birth characters? What utter nonsense!" Cai Yuan also chimed in with mockery.

Xiao Feifei found it somewhat unbelievable, but she was still confused because everything Li Se said seemed to be correct. Chen Yuan's daughter had indeed been having nightmares every day for the past ten days.

"Is there a way to resolve this?" Chen Yuan finally showed some wavering.

Wu Yang frowned and said, "Director Chen, this is utterly ridiculous. How can nightmares be caused by a weak birth chart? This is too superstitious, a remnant of feudalistic thought. We must believe in science, believe in Western medicine. I'm not looking down on TCM, but TCM is like this because of too much superstition. It's embarrassing!"

"Wu Yang, if you deny TCM out of your own ignorance, then I can only call you foolish!" Li Se retorted without hesitation to anyone who belittled TCM, showing no regard for their feelings.

Cai Yuan, hearing Li Se dare to speak to his teacher like that, became enraged on the spot. "How dare you speak to my teacher like that? Do you know that slandering an imperial physician has consequences? You've slandered him repeatedly. Kneel! Give me..."

*Slap!*

Li Se, annoyed by Cai Yuan's incessant chatter, slapped him. "You're too noisy, quiet down!"

"You... you hit me?" Cai Yuan's eyes widened, and he ran to Wu Yang. "Teacher, he hit me! You must retaliate for me!"

Wu Yang, his face dark, said, "How could you resort to violence?"

"Too noisy, like a dog," Li Se said impatiently.

"Who are you calling a dog?" Cai Yuan fumed.

Xiao Feifei was also speechless. This Li Se was truly bold. Regardless of who he was offending, Cai Yuan, annoying as he was, was Wu Yang's disciple. To hit Cai Yuan in public was to disrespect him, which was no different from disrespecting Cai Yuan himself.

"Whoever is anxious is a dog," Li Se said indifferently.

Cai Yuan felt like killing someone. Li Se had not only hit him but also dared to humiliate him. He couldn't accept it.

Chen Yuan was also embarrassed. The person introduced by Old Man Xiao indeed had a temper. He then said, "Everyone, let's say less. This is the Chen family's residence!"

Cai Yuan couldn't say anything more at this point. Although he was an imperial physician's disciple, let alone him, even Wu Yang wouldn't dare to offend Chen Yuan casually.

"What should we do about my daughter's current condition?" Chen Yuan asked Li Se. Although he still didn't quite believe it, asking was not wrong.

Li Se pondered for a moment and said, "I will create an Yin-Yang Five Elements protective talisman. As long as Miss Chen wears it, I guarantee she can sleep soundly."

"Protective talisman?" Wu Yang snorted. "Are you really taking yourself for a fortune teller?"

Li Se ignored him and had Chen Yuan prepare yellow talismans, cinnabar pens, and other items. After drawing a Five Elements talisman and forming a hand seal, he handed it to Chen Yuan, saying, "Carry this with you. It can regulate your birth chart's destiny, activate your innate Yin-Yang and Five Elements aura to circulate without scattering, and move without disorder, thus protecting your spirit, ensuring peace and auspiciousness, and avoiding setbacks in your fortune."

"The common way of heaven and earth is one yin and one yang. The way of heaven and earth creates all things through yin and yang qi. The Yin-Yang Five Elements protective talisman harmonizes the Five Elements and Yin-Yang, activating your innate Yin-Yang and Five Elements aura to circulate without scattering and move without disorder, thus protecting your personal universe from malevolent forces and warding off evil, dispelling ill fortune and mitigating petty rivalries."

Again, it was a series of elaborate explanations. Xiao Feifei began to suspect if this guy was a professional con artist.

"Carry it with me?" Chen Yuan asked doubtfully.

Li Se nodded confidently, "Yes, wear it now, and I believe Miss Chen will be able to sleep immediately. I guarantee she won't have nightmares tonight!"
