The two of them walked back together, and soon the banquet came to an end. Elder Min whispered to Ling Zhenfei beside him.
"Zhenfei, the reason I invited you this time is because I need your help."
Ling Zhenfei pretended not to know and said, "Elder, just tell me what you need, I'll certainly help if I can."
Elder Min said, "In a while, come with me to see a patient. I truly hope you can cure her."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Don't worry, Elder. A doctor has the heart of a parent. As long as there's a patient, I will do my utmost."
Everyone around was watching Elder Min and Ling Zhenfei. At this moment, Min Yue said, "Yes, Divine Doctor Ling, you must help, you must cure the person."
Ling Zhenfei listened and secretly laughed in his heart; if he hadn't overheard the conversation between him and his wife earlier, he really would have taken Min Yue for a good person.
Beside them, Min Chuan also said, "That's right, Mr. Ling is a divine doctor, surely he can work wonders."
Ling Zhenfei marveled inwardly; no wonder the Min family's members outwardly get along so well, it must be because these two teams are so scheming, keeping all matters clandestine, never bringing them to the surface.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Rest assured, as long as there's a glimmer of hope, I can certainly bring that person back."
Ling Zhenfei said this to observe these people's expression changes, but he truly underestimated them; amid their changes, you would hardly notice anything different.
Hearing that Ling Zhenfei could save the person even made them genuinely happy.
Elder Min said, "It's rare for the Divine Doctor to come, let's go take a look then."
Elder Min personally led Ling Zhenfei, followed by his three sons and some idle family members, towards a nearby villa.
Unexpectedly, in this prime real estate area in Modu, the Min family owned two villas. This was truly a sign of wealth, no wonder their children were all waiting to inherit the estate.
Once Ling Zhenfei arrived at the doorstep, he waited for the door to open, noting that Min family's expressions were not good, but girls like Min Min maintained the same countenance. Obviously, they were unaware of their parents' intentions.
They entered, where servants were attending, keeping the place spotlessly clean.
Ling Zhenfei was brought to a room on the second floor. Minhang gently knocked on the door and then walked inside.
Ling Zhenfei followed suit into a girl's room, which was very tidy with a faint pleasant scent.
A girl lay on the bed, looking extremely feeble, her face pale, lips slightly blue, feeling nearly lifeless.
Upon seeing this girl, Ling Zhenfei was truly surprised; firstly, she was very beautiful, her ashen face and purple lips along with her sickly look remarkably reminded Ling Zhenfei of Lin Daiyu.
Moreover, her illness seemed quite odd; truly baffling what ailment she suffered from.
Elder Min's eyes revealed nothing but affection, everything became gentle.
Their ages seemed grandparent and granddaughter, yet they were father and daughter, which gave a subtle, complex feeling to the observers.
Upon seeing people walk in, the girl merely lifted her gaze slightly, seemingly uninterested even in moving her eyes.
"Xiangxiang, Dad's here today with a divine doctor. Do you know Ling Zhenfei, renowned online as a divine doctor? It's him, I've brought him to treat you."
Ling Zhenfei leaned closer to the girl and said, "Hello, Miss Min Xiang, I'm here to help treat you."
At this point, Min Xiang quietly said, "Don't bother, I'm beyond saving, I don't expect much anymore."
The girl's voice, though low, was very clearly heard by Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Don't say that yet, wait until after I'm done examining you. If I say there's no hope, then there's truly no hope. If I intend to save someone, no one can stand in my way."
Ling Zhenfei's words were very bold, intentionally spoken for the ears of Min Yue and others at the door.
At this time, Min Chuan at the door said, "Mr. Ling, Min Xiang's illness has been seen by very renowned doctors, and none could identify the problem. Can you truly see it?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Of course, there's no illness I can't identify."
Elder Min was completely unaware that Ling Zhenfei was sparring with his sons, and thus uninformed, said, "Zhenfei, what are you waiting for, quickly examine Xiangxiang."
Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment then sat beside Min Xiang; originally, he didn't intend to treat patients tonight, having drunk alcohol, and no doctor would work drunk, but fortunately, Ling Zhenfei was extraordinary, using Northern Spiritual Energy to expel the alcohol long ago.
Ling Zhenfei used his hand to pull Min Xiang's arm from under the blanket, placing his hand on her pulse, then observing her physical condition with the Perspective Eye.
Min Xiang's condition was truly dire, there's a saying that describes her state: 'Dying embers'—her pulse was very weak, but not beyond that, nothing else discernible.
Ling Zhenfei was astonished in his heart, no wonder others couldn't pinpoint Min Xiang's ailment, even after feeling her pulse he sensed no issue.
But Ling Zhenfei relied not solely on pulse feeling; he intended to use the Perspective Eye for insight. Upon its observation of Min Xiang, his heart startled, having discovered something inside her.
Inside Min Xiang was something very peculiar, the result of a chronic poison. This poison clung to Min Xiang's meridians, not damaging organs, but more potent at the meridian level.
This toxin eroded the meridians, reducing their sensitivity, leading the entire body's capabilities to diminish, resulting in Min Xiang's current condition.
Furthermore, Min Xiang's illness was not formed overnight; this chronic poison required gradual entry into her body.
This poisoning method held numerous possibilities, such as prolonged contact with a substance, or inhalation of a gas over time, or even repeatedly consuming a certain food.
With this thought, Ling Zhenfei couldn't help but scanning the surroundings, a table beside the bed with various items, including a fruit plate with common fruits.
These fruits should be fine if untampered with, being quite ordinary.
The room environment was also benign, with no abnormalities, no unpleasant odors, merely a faint fragrance.
This scent, its origin elusive, perhaps the girl's body fragrance.
Ling Zhenfei chuckled at his own notions, thinking if someone was indeed poisoning, would they leave evidence on site? Simply adding something to Min Xiang's meals would suffice.
