The old man Ye bared his teeth, looking like a wild beast guarding its food.
Ye Baichi quickly stepped forward and pulled Chen Xiao away. He was afraid that Chen Xiao would be hurt by his father, and even more afraid that Chen Xiao would hurt his father.
"Dad, this is Doctor Chen, invited by Mayor Mo for you. Please don't bite him..."
Ye Baichi said helplessly.
Look at that, was that human speech? Even if Ye Baichi were beaten to death, he wouldn't have imagined that he would say such a thing to his father one day.
"Oh, so... it's Doctor Chen... This old man... forgive my rudeness... I apologize..."
Old Man Ye said intermittently, speaking the most polite words, but still revealing that fierce expression of guarding his food.
Seeing this, Chen Xiao couldn't help but laugh and cry. He said, "Mr. Ye, it's alright. I will definitely find a way to solve your problem!"
"Then... I'll have to trouble you..."
Old Man Ye exerted all his strength to say this sentence, and then lowered his head to eat again.
"Mr. Chen, can you tell what's wrong with my father?"
Ye Baichi asked, returning to Chen Xiao's side.
"Your father..."
Chen Xiao had just spoken, but before he could finish, he heard an anxious shout from outside.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, are you alright? Gu Cheng is here to see you!"
Following this anxious voice, a young man with a buzz cut walked in.
This person was Ye Gucheng, one of the Four Young Masters of Jiangcheng, whom Chen Xiao had met once at Jiangxin Pavilion.
Behind Ye Gucheng followed an old man in a long robe.
The old man was short and stooped, with sinister eyes and a rat-like face. He exuded a chilling aura that made people feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Gu Cheng, you're back."
Ye Baichi greeted Ye Gucheng.
Before Ye Gucheng could reply to his third uncle, he saw Chen Xiao at a glance. His eyes immediately widened, and he exclaimed, "It's you?"
"That's right, it's me. I didn't expect us to meet again."
Chen Xiao's tone was calm, and his gaze met Ye Gucheng's head-on.
The two had met once before. Although there had been no direct conflict, they had both left a less-than-favorable impression on each other.
Therefore, Ye Gucheng's eyes immediately glared, and he angrily shouted at Chen Xiao, "What are you doing here at our house?"
Ye Baichi immediately reprimanded, "Gu Cheng, don't be rude. This is the doctor Mayor Mo invited to see your grandfather!"
"Him? To see my grandfather?"
Ye Gucheng squinted his eyes with a mocking expression. "Mayor Mo isn't mistaken, is he?"
"Gu Cheng! What are you talking about!"
Ye Baichi roared. He was showing respect to Mayor Mo.
If Ye Gucheng was disrespectful to Chen Xiao, it was disrespectful to Mayor Mo.
"Third Uncle, quickly send him away. The old gentleman I brought is the real master. Only he can cure my grandfather's illness!"
Ye Gucheng gestured to the old man in the long robe behind him. "Third Uncle, this is Master Huang. Not only is his medical skill superb, but he is also skilled in sorcery and specializes in treating strange and evil illnesses. Third Uncle, do you still think it's necessary for this kid to see my grandfather?"
Ye Gucheng glanced at Chen Xiao with disdain in his eyes.
Ye Baichi estimated for a moment, then took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to Chen Xiao, saying, "Mr. Chen, this is for your trouble. You can go back now."
Although he didn't know if the Master Huang invited by Ye Gucheng was reliable, he was still more reliable than Chen Xiao.
After all, the other party's age was there, and even if he wasn't good, he was a hundred times better than this young kid Chen Xiao!
Chen Xiao did not take the bank card, sneered, and looked at Ye Baichi.
"Mr. Ye, it seems you don't trust me?"
Ye Baichi hesitated for a moment and said with a smile, "It's not that I don't trust you, it's just..."
"Forget it, you don't need to just say it to me!"
Chen Xiao waved his hand. "Since I haven't cured Old Man Ye's illness, I won't accept the consultation fee. However, I'd like to see how this Master Huang treats Old Man Ye. That should be fine, right?"
Entrusted by others, Chen Xiao had to show respect to the Ye family and Mayor Mo. Therefore, he absolutely would not turn around and leave just because he was being neglected by the Ye family.
"Master Huang, what do you think..."
Ye Baichi tentatively looked at the old man in the long robe.
"No matter."
Master Huang said indifferently. When he spoke, his voice sounded like a broken gong, making people's skin crawl.
After speaking, Master Huang walked towards Old Man Ye with his hands behind his back.
Ye Gucheng snorted at Chen Xiao, "Kid, learn from him. Today, I'll open your eyes and show you what a real master is!" 138 Reading Network
Master Huang walked to the table and coldly shouted at the servants and doctors by the table, "All of you, get out of the way!"
The servants and doctors left one by one, and Master Huang's sharp gaze locked onto Old Man Ye.
Old Man Ye seemed to sense danger and suddenly looked up, meeting Master Huang's eyes. He immediately bared his teeth at him!
"Master Huang, be careful!"
Ye Baichi shouted and wanted to step forward to stop him, but Ye Gucheng blocked him.
"Third Uncle, don't go over yet. Let's see what Master Huang says."
The next second, they heard Master Huang coldly snort at Old Man Ye, "Hmph, you malevolent beast that harms people!"
Seeing this, Ye Baichi was stunned and complained, "Gu Cheng, who did you invite? Why are you scolding your grandfather?"
Ye Gucheng smiled slightly, "Third Uncle, you're wrong. He's not scolding my grandfather!"
Ye Baichi was surprised, "Ah? Gu Cheng, what do you mean by that? You don't even recognize your grandfather anymore, do you?"
Ye Gucheng clearly didn't want to waste his breath with his third uncle and said impatiently, "Alright, Third Uncle, just keep watching!"
At this moment, Master Huang suddenly lunged at Old Man Ye and grabbed his head.
Old Man Ye struggled desperately and tried to bite Master Huang.
However, Master Huang was agile and was not bitten. At the same time, he held a dark pill in his hand and stuffed it into Old Man Ye's mouth.
With a gulp, Old Man Ye swallowed the pill.
Master Huang then released his hand as if he had accomplished a great feat. Old Man Ye lay on the table, panting heavily, as if he had narrowly escaped death.
"Master Huang, is it done?"
Ye Gucheng asked excitedly.
Master Huang nodded slightly, "That malevolent beast has been driven away by me. Just as I thought, your grandfather is not suffering from bulimia, but has been possessed by an evil spirit!"
"Ah?"
Ye Baichi's face turned pale with fright, and he asked tremblingly, "Master Huang, what exactly possessed my father?"
"Great Immortal Huang!"
Master Huang raised his eyes and said casually, "That is, the legendary Huang Pizi!"
