"Bewitched? What nonsense!"

Upon hearing Chen Xiao’s words, Divine Doctor Xue sneered dismissively.

"Young man, if you truly love traditional Chinese medicine, I advise you to study diligently and learn more, rather than applying feudal superstitions to it. You're just trying to sensationalize things!"

Mayor Mo also wore an incomprehensible expression, not wanting to waste any more words with Chen Xiao. He pointed at Wang Huzi and whispered sternly, "You, get out of here with your people, and don't let me see you again!"

Wang Huzi was unconvinced, stubbornly retorting, "You tell me to get out, and I have to get out? Why? This is the old man's house, not yours!"

"You have the nerve to ask me why?"

Mayor Mo glared at him. "Listen to what he's saying. He claims the old man is bewitched. The old man is perfectly fine; how can he be bewitched?"

Mayor Mo's words left Wang Huzi speechless. He could only helplessly look at Chen Xiao, "Mr. Chen, this..."

Because Elder Mo was indeed sitting steadily on the bed, not appearing bewitched.

Chen Xiao chuckled and disdainfully asked, "Do you think one must be delirious, crazy, and foolish to be considered bewitched?"

"Otherwise?"

Mayor Mo retorted matter-of-factly.

Chen Xiao ignored him and turned to Elder Mo instead.

"Elder Mo, let me ask you, have you been feeling weak lately, unable to wake up during the day, unable to sleep well at night, often startled awake by nightmares, and feeling suffocated and unable to breathe in your chest after waking up?"

Upon hearing Chen Xiao's words, Divine Doctor Xue, Mayor Mo, and Elder Mo all stared in astonishment.

"How, how did you know?"

Elder Mo asked incredulously. Chen Xiao's description of his condition was almost identical to his own.

Chen Xiao said calmly, "I told you, your condition is written all over your face. I could tell at a glance!"

Although Elder Mo found it hard to believe, he was also greatly shocked.

Mayor Mo, however, sneered and suddenly realized, "I understand now. You must have overheard the old man describing his condition to Divine Doctor Xue outside!"

"You're talking nonsense!"

Wang Huzi could no longer restrain himself from cursing, as Mayor Mo had repeatedly insulted Chen Xiao. "We hadn't even arrived when the old man was describing his condition. We couldn't have heard!"

Mayor Mo recalled, and it seemed that what Wang Huzi said was true.

But he still insisted, "Who knows if you were deliberately eavesdropping outside the door?"

Hearing this, Wang Huzi laughed outright. "Mo Junsheng, Mo Junsheng, listen to yourself. Even a ten-year-old child would sound childish saying such a thing. How can you, a dignified mayor, even say it?"

"I..."

Indeed, these words sounded like something a stubborn child would say. Mayor Mo's face flushed red with shame.

At this moment, Divine Doctor Xue said, "Young man, you keep saying that Elder Mo is bewitched. Do you have any way to prove it, or can you treat it?"

Chen Xiao nodded and said casually, "It's very simple."

Divine Doctor Xue frowned upon seeing Chen Xiao's arrogance. "What's so simple? Is it proof or treatment?"

Chen Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Both are simple!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xiao took out his silver needles and said to Elder Mo, "Elder Mo, the treatment process may be a bit terrifying. Please don't be afraid!"

Elder Mo laughed heartily, "Young man, this old man has seen all kinds of storms in his life. How could I be scared by a medical treatment? Rest assured and proceed!"

Out of trust in his adopted son, Wang Junyang, Elder Mo completely trusted Chen Xiao!

Without hesitation, Chen Xiao drew seven silver needles and swiftly inserted them into the Shenting, Baihui, and Shangxing acupoints on Elder Mo's head.

Then, he targeted the Wangu, Tianzhu, and Sishencong acupoints!

Finally, he inserted the last needle into the Houding acupoint on the back of his head!

After inserting the seven needles, Elder Mo's head looked like a hedgehog!

Seeing this scene, Divine Doctor Xue's gaze turned serious.

"This is... the Seven Stars Divine Needle?"

Mayor Mo was stunned upon hearing this and whispered, "Divine Doctor Xue, do you know this acupuncture technique? What's so special about it? Is this kid just putting on a show?"

"Putting on a show?"

Divine Doctor Xue smiled wryly. "Mayor Mo, I may have misjudged this young man. His medical skills are very high. At least, I can't perform this Seven Stars Divine Needle technique."

"You can't perform it either?"

A look of suspicion appeared in Mayor Mo's eyes. He secretly glanced at Wang Huzi and thought to himself, "Could it be that he really invited an expert this time?"

At this moment, Elder Mo, with a relaxed expression, smiled and asked Chen Xiao, "Young man, is this what you call terrifying?"

Chen Xiao smiled slightly. "Elder Mo, don't be impatient. The truly terrifying part hasn't even started yet!"

As he spoke, he gathered spiritual energy on his middle finger and flicked the silver needle on the Houding acupoint...

Buzz—

The silver needle began to vibrate, emitting a buzzing sound. Along with this sound wave, the other six silver needles resonated with it, also vibrating.

In an instant, Elder Mo felt as if his soul was leaving his body. He felt like seven electric drills were drilling into his head simultaneously. Although it didn't hurt, the sensation of vibration was unsettling.

Elder Mo felt as if his soul was about to be pulled out.

Seeing that Elder Mo's expression began to struggle, Chen Xiao thought to himself with a wicked sense of humor, "You can't handle this? The truly terrifying part hasn't even started yet!"

Chen Xiao felt that the time was right. With a flick of his hand, he pulled the seven silver needles from Elder Mo's head. As soon as the needles were removed, seven wisps of black smoke emerged from the top of Elder Mo's head.

Seeing this scene, the four people besides Chen Xiao were all dumbfounded...

"What, what's going on, Divine Doctor Xue?"

Mayor Mo asked tremulously. The scene was too unbelievable, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Where had Divine Doctor Xue ever seen such a scene? He was already pale with fright and stammered, "This, this, this... I, I don't know either..."

Elder Mo rolled his eyes upward, as if he were being held hostage, and didn't dare to move.

Chen Xiao smiled slightly and thought, "The truly terrifying part is about to begin!"

"Woo-hoo—"

"Waaah—"

Suddenly, wails and howls came from the black smoke.

Mayor Mo's eyes widened, and he almost peed his pants in fright.

It seemed that this kid was right. His father was really bewitched!

No, this was more than just being bewitched. This was probably encountering a ghost!
