After Lin Xuan left, Xia Shuyu looked at Li Se with interest, a half-smile on her face. "Li Se, why do I feel like you're quite the charlatan?"
Li Se didn't refute. After all, metaphysics was a rather peculiar subject. As the ancients put it, believe it and it exists, disbelieve and it does not.
After accompanying Xia Shuyu shopping for several more hours, Li Se truly understood the stamina women possessed for shopping. She remained enthusiastic for the entire duration, while he was laden with bags.
"To thank you for accompanying me shopping, come to my place for dinner today. I'll cook for you!" Xia Shuyu said with a grin.
"Alright, it's about time I gave your aunt acupuncture again," Li Se thought. It had been several days since he last treated Xia Bingyun.
Today, Xia Bingyun was still wearing her professional OL suit, this time in black. Her attire suggested she was an elite in the business world.
Her beautiful legs were still clad in black stockings, as captivating as ever.
While Xia Shuyu was busy in the kitchen, Li Se went upstairs to a room with Xia Bingyun. Using the same method, he performed acupuncture and massage on her.
Afterward, Li Se asked, "Over the past few nights, your desires shouldn't be as intense as before, right?"
"Mm," Xia Bingyun replied, tidying her clothes as she nodded. "It's much better now."
This condition was quite embarrassing, as she experienced nightly urges. She hadn't dared to disclose much at the hospital, especially to male doctors. Now that Li Se had largely resolved her ailment, she could finally be free from years of torment.
After a hearty meal at Xia Shuyu's, Li Se departed. He headed towards a traditional Chinese medicine shop. Just as he left, a black Audi car stopped nearby.
"Who is this kid? Why is he so close to the Xia family?" a bespectacled man inside the car asked, his expression somewhat grim.
"Young Master, I'll investigate immediately," the driver replied promptly.
"The next time you see them getting so close, do you know what to do?" the bespectacled man leaned back and said calmly.
"Understood!" the driver nodded.
The bespectacled man's gaze fell on the villa, his eyes darkening. He murmured, "Xia Shuyu, you are my Hong Zhixue's woman. No one else is allowed near you!"
Li Se first visited the Chinese medicine shop and bought more herbs, for his own baths and for his mother. Upon returning, he brewed medicine for his mother. Afterward, he took a medicinal bath. Coupled with his qi cultivation techniques, his strength had increased significantly during this period.
Furthermore, he possessed a surge of internal energy, making it possible to kill a bull with a single punch.
The next day.
Li Se received a call from Lin Xuan. The purpose was simple: Li Se was to divine for his family.
As he had nothing else planned for the day, Li Se agreed.
Approximately twenty minutes later, Lin Xuan's car stopped at the entrance of the residential complex. He got out as soon as he saw Li Se and personally opened the car door. "Master, please!"
Li Se felt a bit unaccustomed to the title and said, "You can still call me Li Se."
Lin Xuan smiled, "How can that be? I'll call you Brother Li."
Li Se didn't argue further and got into the car.
Lin Xuan's home was in the city center, a villa at that, showcasing the Lin family's immense wealth.
Upon entering, Li Se bumped into a familiar face and greeted him, "Elder Huang!"
"Ah, Little Divine Doctor, what brings you here?" Elder Huang exclaimed in surprise.
Lin Zhongtian looked curious about the young man his son had brought back. "Elder Huang, you know him?"
"Of course!" Elder Huang spoke of Li Se with unrestrained praise, showering him with compliments, almost elevating him to the heavens.
Lin Zhongtian was astonished. "I never imagined there was someone with even greater medical skills than you, and so young. Impressive!"
Seeing how capable Li Se seemed, Lin Xuan felt he had excellent judgment. He immediately said, "Brother Li is not only skilled in medicine, but also exceptional at fortune-telling."
Lin Zhongtian's forehead furrowed. He accepted Li Se's medical prowess due to Elder Huang's endorsement, but regarding fortune-telling, he was skeptical, as he didn't believe in such things.
"It's not fortune-telling, merely a slight research into metaphysics and Feng Shui," Li Se replied humbly.
"Little Divine Doctor, you're also knowledgeable in this area?" Elder Huang inquired, surprised.
Li Se nodded, "I learned some in the past."
"In that case, could you examine my house for any problems?" Lin Zhongtian asked politely, though he didn't truly believe in Feng Shui, considering it was a scientific era.
Li Se carefully surveyed the villa. The Feng Shui layout of the house was actually quite good, standard and without any apparent flaws.
"Brother Li, have you found anything?" Lin Xuan asked eagerly.
"Not yet, for now," Li Se replied with a slight shake of his head.
Lin Zhongtian merely smiled and paid no further attention to Li Se, turning instead to Elder Huang. "Thank you, Elder Huang. However, my condition seems to have worsened recently."
"Perfect, Divine Doctor Li has arrived. Let him examine you," Elder Huang strongly recommended Li Se.
"This..." Lin Zhongtian felt Li Se had the potential to be a charlatan and was somewhat resistant, despite Elder Huang's recommendation.
Li Se noticed Lin Zhongtian's thoughts and smiled. "Since Mr. Lin doesn't believe in Feng Shui, why then have you hung five copper coins in the courtyard?"
"You know about that?" Lin Zhongtian looked at Li Se in surprise.
Li Se said no more, instead proceeding to take Lin Zhongtian's pulse. His brow then furrowed deeply.
There was nothing to fear, except for a doctor's frown.
Elder Huang quickly asked, "Little Divine Doctor, have you discovered anything?"
Lin Xuan's face was tense, especially with Li Se's expression, which made him uneasy.
"Strange. Your villa's layout and Feng Shui shouldn't have problems. Then how did you develop this headache?" Li Se said with a peculiar tone.
"You can tell I have a migraine?" Lin Zhongtian was astonished and looked towards Lin Xuan and Elder Huang.
Both of them shook their heads, indicating they hadn't revealed anything.
"Mr. Lin, when you sleep at night, do you often have nightmares and wake up from headaches?" Li Se asked.
"That's correct, it is!" Lin Zhongtian immediately nodded. It seemed the person recommended by Elder Huang was indeed competent. He was certain that besides Elder Huang, only his family knew about his condition. Since both Elder Huang and his son claimed not to have said anything, it meant Li Se truly possessed skill.
Li Se pondered for a moment and then said, "May I see your bedroom?"
